ALMOST AN ACCIDENT.

The following is a rather poetical way Of
putting boat collision on the river As ii
comes from boating friend we publish it:
On Monday evening just as the last Lingering
rays of sunlight were kissing the bosom Of the
Mississippi q stroller along ON river front
might have observed skimming over its sur
face graceful barge. belonging to and
manned by gallant crew of one OF our crack
rowing clubs, yclept the "Orleans.
As the barge drew nearer the dulcet notes
of Kathleen Mavourneen, floating on the even
ing air and sung by the richest of soprano
voices, told that there were fair women as
we'll as brave men in the barge Steadily bent
the feathery oars and the bird like notes of
the fair sopgstress grew fainter and fainter,
when suddenly piercing shrek was heard
and a decided conmotion was observable.
LOCKERS on we're terror stricken, but happily
only for moment. It appears that the River
side shell crew were out practicing for the
coming regatta, and of course, going at their
famous forty stroke.
Objects we're not readily discernible in the
twilight, and by some mischance the two
cookie shells collided Happily, however, no
body was hurt, although one of the carmen of
the Riversides insisted on having this assur-
ance from the ladies themselves.
After mutual apologies the merry Orlean-
ians reached their boathouse when the Ia
dies were heartily congratulated on their hair
breadth escape. at.

letter to an afternoon paper, says: The

"If these additional facilities can be &C
quired Of companies now using them in COM

A S0EDERFUL BOOK.

The Book for which E100O in
gold have been offered by Mr.. G..
Gulbo,Iane, OF London and stated
in II circular extensively dislribut-
ed l'y him 10 relate 10 a member OF
the Roy al family OF England. az inst
the publication of which the LO d
Chancellor iS,ued an injunction.
aud olw!iich only one copy is known
to be in the United States, WAS dis
covered t" be in pos>rssion OF Il
young law CT OF this city.
The Courier Journal OF this morn
ing contains Il lengthy account of
the book, fiom which the following
extract embraces the Hain facts /:
The book is The "Mrluoirs OF George
", containing IL minute history
of all the ScaadalouS passages III
his life, tnget!ier with an exposure
of the corruptiol of bis political
administration. Tue identity OF
the book seems positive, for it bear :
the imprint oi the publishers, Famed
in the circular, as well as the date
of the publicltion-1S30 The
memoirs are in two volumes, and IA
nasty glance at the contents suilices
too clearly to show why it is so
large reward Is offered for il.
Two or three years ago an Eng
lish gentleman named Taylor, Il
book salesman of this city, discover
ed the volumes in Il ease of boot, y
til It he had imported from G. d.
Cozenove, n London booklealer,
now out of business. The volumes
had not been ordered, and it was
Thought that they had been placed
in the case accidentally.
Mr.. Taylor WAS perft city familiar
with all the branches OF Elelish
literature, and when ais eye lighted
upon the work, lac at once appre
ciated its value. He showed the
books to IA number OF literary men
of this city, and among them was
the young lawyer who is now its
fOrunaIe poSSeSsor.
Ii is quite certain that the reason
the royal fimiIy are 50 soliritoIs
for its destruction lies in the fact
that the marriage Of King George
with Mrs. FitZherbert is proven, b,
letters and documents taken from
the royal archives it also testiiieS
that IL child was born To Mrs. Fit
Z!,rrbcrt while in lawful wediock.
