c. c. Fulton contributes to the Balti-
more american the following in regard TO
the Winans cigar ship: While coming out
of the harbor of Southampton singular
looking steamer was deserted in the dis
lance approaching us, which attracted
general attention from the popularity of
its manner of construction. 1t was steam
ing toward Southampton from trial
cruise in the British Channel, and we soon
discovered it to be the Winans cigar
steamer, built upon the Clyde. She pass
ed within q few hundred yards of us, and
we had very good view of her. The
whole plan of her construction has been
changed from that of the first steamer
built by Winans in Baltimore, which still
lies at his wharf in South Baltimore.
The cigar shape of the hull has been re-
tanned, and seemed to be full 400 feet
long. but instead of wheel in the center,
it has two propellers at the extreme points
of the cigar, fore and aft, only half Of
which were submerged. The propellers
seemed to have but three fanges, and
were slowly Tapping on the water, look
ing almost like the flukes of y whale. In
deed, its whole appearance as 1t moved
along was that of an ordinary ocean
steamer perched on the back Of whale.
The cigar portion of the hull was of much
greater width in the center than the deck,
and was the only portion of the vessel
that was submerged. The ends of the
cigar on which the propellers are fixed
protrude beyond the deck, fully forty feet
fore and aft, and the hull is supplied with
masts, rigging and sails 1t was moving
towards the docks slowly, and we had no
opportunity of Judging of its speed.
No one seemed to know anything about
its speed, Its operations being conducted
under strict secrecy. Indeed, it not only
slowed down, but actually stopped for a
few minutes whilst we were passing, APP
parently for the purpose of preventing US
from forming any opinion as TO its capa-
city. This is said TO be its usual custom
when passing any vessel.
We hope our townsmau may be ulti-
mately able to astonish the world by at
tanning a speed of twenty miles an hour
by propulsion alone, which is said to be
his hope and expectation. The other
steamer, which was built at Cherbourg in
France, is also at Southampton. 1t is cali
ee the Walter Winans, and both are fully
differed, and make frequent trial trips in
the English Channel. 1t will thus be
seen that the application of Winans to
Congress for the renewal of his patent is
with the full expectation of yet accom-
plishing a great revolution in steam navi-
cation.

Ra1.e Love for a ChiId.

There is in Whitehall village family
who have little daughter, two and half
years old. who has formed a singular at
tachment for a rat. Every day this little
one goes into the woodshed, adjoining the
house. where large, venerable-looking
rat makes its appearance, when the limo
eent-looking child proceeds to feed it from
her chubby hand. The parents have
caught their little one feeding Its protege
several times of late, yet, on the approach
of any other than the little girl the rat
scampers off to its hole. Several efforts
have been made by the child's parents TO
dispatch the singular companion of their
little darling, for ii was feared that the
child may get bitten by it. Last Sunday
the rat showed its affection and guardian
care of the little ones comfort, as the fol-
lowing will show: The child's mother
put it to sleep in its cradle in the kitchen,
going to another room in the house, leay-
ing the sleeping child alone. She was
gone some time On her return she cast
her eve at the child, when she was sur
prised to observe the rat standing perched
upon the top of the cradle, moving its tail
over the little sleeper. The mother, wish
ing to see what the varmint was up to, :"
stood and watched its movements, peep
ing through the door, which was only
partly opened. She observed a number
of flies about the child's face, when two
lit on the little one, whereat the kind rat
whisked them off with its tail. Wishing
to make sure, the lady quietly called her
husband, and the two stood watching the
proceedings for at least ten minutes. Ey-
cry time fly dared to alight on the little
ones face that old rats friendly tail would
brush it away, like the guardian angel
lowering about us, who, we believe, is
brushing away dangers that
US poor mortals 1t was thought
safe by the child's parents to leave the
child in charge OF its singular nurse, and
for one hour the little one slept. When
it awoke its mother went to take il up,
and the rat jumped from the cradle and
sped away through the halfopened door
to the woodshed. Since that time the
child has been put to sleep in the kitchen
to ascertain if the experiment would be
Each time when left alone,
with the shed door partially open, the old
rat would enter and take up its position
over the top of the cradle, watching the
little sleeper and brushing away the flies
which dared to trouble its precious charge.

Laughter ms Medicine.

A short time since two individuals were
lying in one room, very sick, one with
brain fever, and the other with an aggra-
waited case of the humps. They were SO
low that watchers were needed every
night and it was thought doubtful if the
one sick with fever would recover A
gentleman was engaged to watch over
night, his duty being to wake the nurse
whenever 1t became necessary to admins
ter medicine. In the course of the night
both watcher and nurse fell asleep. The
man with the munps lay watching the
clock, and saw that it was time to give
the fever patient his potion. He was I'M
able to speak aloud, or to move any por-
ton of his body, except his arms. but
seizing pillow, he managed to strike the
watcher in the face Thus suddenly
awakened the watcher sprang from his
seat, falling to the floor, and awakened
both the nurse and fever patient The
incident struck the men as very ludicrous,
and they laughed heartily at it for some
fifteen or twenty minutes. When the
doctor came in the morning, he found his
patients vastly improved; said he never
knew so sudden turn for the better and
now both are up and well. Who says
laughter is not the best of medicines?
And this reminds the writer of another
case. A gentleman was suffering from an
liberation in the throat, which at length
became so swollen that his life was de-
SPARED of His household came to his
bedside to bid him farewell Each indi-
viiual shook hands with the DIVING man
aud then went away weeping. Last of
all came pet ape, and, shaking the mans
hand, went away also with its hands over
its eyes. II was so ludicrous a sight that
the patient was forced to laugh, and
laughed so heartily that the ulcer broke,
and his life was saved.

Protection of Life nj Sea.

A correspondent of the London 7tle-
graph, in reference to providing means of
escape in accidents at sea, thinks it ought
to be more extensively known that there
is one line of transatlantic packets which
provides in allit ships, not only the usual
boats, but also life RATS sufficient to carry
all the crew and passengers. refer, he
continues, to the Pennsylvania line, run
ming between Liverpool and Philadelphia,
and it ought to be stated that it is an ex-
clusively American company. Now, what
the Americans can do can also be effected
by the English, French and German lines,
and, if the public desire to be spared a
repetition of such appalling catastrophes
as that connected with the Vile du
Hayre, they will demand that similar
provisions be provided in all the ships.
The RATS are placed each side of the deck
under the davits; there is nothing to do
in case of emergency but to cut the ropes,
by which they are dashed to the deck,
which can be affected in one minute either
by Ratchet or sailors knife. Two or
three men can tumble them over the bull
warks into the sea. 1t matters not which
side comes uppermost, they ride above the
waves even when covered with human
beings, and there are ropes dashed all
round, to which drowning men can cling
until lifted on the RATS. While Others
have been theorizing on the question, our
practical transatlantic cousins have solved
the problem, and for eight or nine months
have been running their vessels SO provid-
ed with life RATS. To make this plan
widely known may be the best way to
secure its general adoption.

Why MEN NEED WIvEs-What does
a man need a wife for? 1t is not merely
to sweep the house, and make the beds,
and darn the socks, and cook the meals,
chiefly that man wants a wife. If this
is all when a young man calls to see a
lady, send him into the pantry to taste
the bread and cake she has made; send
him to inspect the needlework and bed
making; or put q broom into her hands
and send him to witness its use. Such
things are important, and the wise young
men viii quietly look after them But
what the true man next SAINTS Of wife is
her companionship, sympathy and love
The way of life has many dreary places
in it, and man needs a companicn to 90
with him. A man is sometimes oy ersaken
with misfortune; he meets with failure
and defeat; trials and temptstions..bese
him, and he needs one to stand by and
sympathize He has some stern battles
to fight with poverty, with enemies, and
with sin, and he needs a woman that,
while he puts his arm around her, and
feels that he has something to fight for,
will help him fight; that will put her lips
to his ear and whisper words of counsel,
and her hand to his heart and impart new
inspirations. All through life-through
storm and through sunshine, conflict and
victory, through adverse and fayoring
winds-man needs a womanis love the

many seek for nothing further than sue

of these get nothing more. The other

more than they sought Their wives sur
prise them by bringing nobler idea of
marriage and disclosing q treasury of eouT-

AN AIhcIT fraud.

Some years ago, Solomon Bacon a
well-known merchant in London, re
ceived a letter from bis correspondent
in Hamburg, which greiyed and troubled
him. 1t said that the writer had been
defrauded by his nephew, the son of a
widowed sister, Of 10000, and had
fled to London with the money. There
was reluctance to make the matter
public, and Mr.. Bacon was desired to
keep silence; "but, the letter went OF
to say, eff you will invite John to din
ner, and when alone tax him with the
crime, he may perhaps refund the mon
ey. Should he do SO, you may give
him $500" The London merchant
found the young German, took hl1n
home, and when the ladies' had Ill
withdrawn from the dinnerStable, he
acquainted his visitor with his knowl-
edge of the fraud Alarm vas de
