old "Uncle Doctor Taylor" paid special at

This was the only &C identical course be en-
joyed. The war was raging and the call fol

An Old Shin.

We dare say there are many OF our
citizens who have passed the meridian Of
life who retain vivid recollection OF
the excitement occasioned by the arrival
at this port, nearly forty years ago, of
what was then considered the colossal
iron steamship, Great Britain, from
Liverpool. It may be said literally that
the whole city turned out to give her
welcome; and as she moved up to her
wharf at the foot of Rutgers street, she
was saluted with salvos OF artillery aud
cheers from the multitude on both
shores of the East River. Many years
have passed since she was in American
waters, and probably most people had
concluded that by this time she was
worn CT and had been broken up and
sold for old iron. So far from that being
the case, however, We notice that her
owners, after employing her for many
seasons to great advantage in the Aus.
tralian trade, have taken out her ma
chinery and converted into an A No. l
sailing ship. At last dates she had taken
on board 5000 tons of coal, as ballast,
for San Francisco. And as her hull is
said to be as sound to-day as ON the day
she left the stocks, there is no reason
why she should not plough the seas forty
years longer and make new fortunes for
her oWners.-Commercial Bulletin.

view of the life and services of the late dis
'inguished representative of Intiana, whose
name has beea inseparately linked with the
