SOCIAL
4 New Departure in The Cumbcr-
land Presbyterian Church..
Pastimcs Harmful Only When
Carried to Excess.

From the Nashville American, l"th.l
During the past month the session
of the Cumberland Presbyterian church
has had under discussion the question
Of social amusemcpts. That body
was disposed, at the conclusion Of their
conferences. TO put Il more liberal con-
struction upon the discipline and to al
low more privileges, under certain cir
cnmstauccs, to the members Of the
congregation than had heretofore been
permitted, They, in fact, came square
~ down to the point that such amusc-
monts were only harmful when abused.
IL is admitted that a socia! game of
cards, played rs Il mere pastime, is not
r%eprehcnsi5lc; that dancing in the
parlor is harmless amusement, and
no wrong is committed in wit
Messing a moral exhibition at a theater.
A committee vas appointed last
week to consult Rev. a. j. Baird, the
on the subject. He was found
to entertain views of n similar charac-
ter. 1t was thereupon arranged that
he should, on next Sunday, deliver a
expressing fully the sentiments
OF himself and the session upon this
subject.
AS this is n new departure in that
denomination, DIR. Baird's church will
doubtless be crowded next Sunday
morning.

The Term "Creole. :"

Before l came to New Orleans I had
an idea that a Creole was half-breed
of some race, Cuban, or Spanish, or
French, 1 didn't exactly know which,
and think the Northern people have
the same notion, and will be grateful
ifI correct them before they come
down here and show their ignorance
as 1 did. A Creole is native Louisi-
anian. Any one who is born here isa
Creole; just as any one who is born in
Indiana is Hoosier, and in Ohio, a
Buckeye. They don't have dark, pen
sive eyes, and romantic hair; they
don't sit on verandas, with their fists
against their cheek, and shapely
arm, bare to the elbow, resting on the
balustrade; and they don't look off in
to gardens of orange trees, and banan-
mas, and dropping palms. with alliga-
tors crawling over the walk. 1t is a
Misrepresentation, this idea; but l
was sorry to have my romance shat
tered when / found it out.-COr. Inter

The First Steamboat.

AT Sheperdstown, in Jefferson cOun-
ty, West Virginia, the first steamboat
was built. Gen. Washington and
Governor Johnson, of Maryland, were
the patrons of the enterprise. After
the war they procured together the in
corporation of the Potomac Company
by their respective States. And in
1875 Rumsey demonstrated to them
on the Potomac, the discovery that
boat could be propelled by steam up
stream against the current. The boil
er and machinery for Rumsey's steam
boat were made at the Catoctin Iron
Furnace, in Frederick county, owned
by Johnson and some of his brothers.
The gentlemen of the Potomac Com
pany then used to go to the Balti-
more Springs, to drink the waters,
and this experiment of Rumsey's, Of
steam navigating, was certified to
have been o success by Gen. Washing
Ion, Johnson, and other eminent men
then present. The first steamboat was
propelled on the Potomac; the first
boiler was made in Frederick county,
twenty years before Fulton perfected
the idea and applied it on the Hudson.
