will own the new Paragon. The latter Is much
larger boat than the Carrie, the machinery Of
which is to pr0pel her. The Carrie was built at
Pittsburg in 1870 ct . cost of $4,000. Van Hook,
we believe, was her first commander. In Au-

GAS boatmen and others feel great interest in
all that relates to river navigation and commerce,
we may remind them Of the first steamer ever
furnished with the Hartupee engines, or at least
the first seen at st. Louis. Il was the sde,wheel
steamer Dictator, built st Pittsburg in 1865 at
cost OF $40, 0C0. She had . capacity OF 1900
tons. Length 265 feet, breadth 40 feet, depth 8
feet, drew .ight4 feet, 3H feet forward; had .
boilers. 20 ues, IS feet long, A inches in diam
eter She had four cylinders, each feet stroke,
two of 16 and two OF 36 inches diameter. Her
wheels were 80 feet diameter, with 13-ft buck
cts. This elegant steamer, costing ~ stated,
1000, promised great success in the st. Louis
and New Orleans trade, but she was burned at
our wharf on the goth Of February, 1866.
sThep there was the renowned steamer Great
Republic, built at Pittsburg, March, 1867, to
carry 1000 tons. She cost $3 0,C0O, and her cabin
Is yet by far the finest on American rivers.
