Cotton i'll California.

The idea of bringing colored cotton
pickers from the South for the purpose
of giving cotton culture fair trial in
portions Of this State supposed to be
best adapted to it, and which was coa-
ceived by VIM. B. Carr some months
ago, is about to crystalizc into an actual
experiment.. A gentleman who is
thoroughly conyersant with the require
ments for this kind of labor, and who
understands the economic workings of
hired negro service, has satisfied himself
of tue capabilities of our Southern coun-
ties to make cotton growing, under prop
er labor conditions, practical success.
He has arranged for bringing out colo
ny of one hundred colored field hands,
who are expected to arrive at Sumner
within few weeks. They will be under
contract with Mr.. Carr for one year.
The gentleman who has undertaken to
furnish these field operators feels conf
dent Of satisfactory results. The project
is private one, entirely outside of the
area of the immigration Society's dis.
pensations. White labor has been found
to be too expensive for cotton culture as
profitable industry in this State, and
there are various objections to Cinnamon.

The Real Inventor of the Steamboat.

Robert Fulton is generally credited
with being the invent or of the steamboat,
and by many people he is also supposed
to have been a native of New York.
Both of these notions are erroneous. He
was not the inventor of the steamboat,
and he Was a native of Pennsylvania.
The inventor Of the steamboat was
John Fitch. This remarkable man, a
native of that part of old Windsor that
is on the East side of the Connecticut
river and is now included in the new
township of South Windsor, conceived
the idea of steamboat while living in
Philadelphia, in 1854, twenty-three years
before Fulton started his boat. Fitch
went ahead with his idea-petitioned
Congress in 1855 for aid to build his ves
sci and submitted his model to the Amer
ican Philosophical Society of Philadel.
phia. He received some assistance from
individuals, went ahead, built boat, the
Perseverance, and had it in actual opera
ton on the Delaware on the 1st of 9Iay,
1857. His engine was the first double
acting condensing eng inc transmitting
power by means of cranks ever construct
ed. The boat made several trips up and
down the river but owing to the difficult
ty of keeping the piston tight against
the comparatively rough interior surface
of the cylinder, the rate was slow-only
three miles an hour Fitch then improv-
ed it, so that in l7SS it made eight miles
an hour. T. was then put into regular
use on the Delaware.
Fulton saw it-and in the latter year
saw Fitch's model in Paris, where the
inventor had taken it in the vain hope of
getting French artisans to build steam
er. Fulton, who, unlike Fitch, had the
important aid Of wealthy friends, failed
in the invention of q submarine torpedo
boat. Then he undertook, some seven
teen years after Fitch's triumphant de-
monstration on the Delaware, to make Il
steamboat to ply on the Seine, at Paris
but it proved a total failure. lie then
went to England and Scotland and stud
led up the mechanism of steam canal
towboat, which, built on q wrong princi-
pie. was trying to do work on the Clyde:
Having the means, he bough.a powerful
engine of Watts invention. in England,
in 1906, and sent it TO the United States,
where, in 1907 he got it at work on the
first ITud;on river steamer, the Clerm0nt.
This boat made five miles an hour up
stream--not equal to Fitch's boat on the
Delaware twenty years before.
But Fitch was poor and destined always
to bitter trials and disappointments
Fulton had powerful friends and ob!ai.~
unjustly the credit of being tlp;n;in'o' :; 1;sanI
of the steamboat. Fi;sh~;"eIE Eantmctv III u,clp

What good thing it is to have on
hand at all times a stock OF resignation;
How comforting is adversely. An old
Latin poet tries to describe a perfect
man, and says, among other things, that
he must never get out Of temper nor live
above or below a certain line OF calm
serenity. That will do pretty we'll for a
man, l reckon, but it wouldent suit a
woman at all. heard smart old man
say once that 4 woman who dident have
temper and show it now and then was no
account, for while man ought to be q
philosopher and 90 according to reason,
= woman wasen't made that way. She is
full of emotions, and is bound to show
them! SIZE is up and down-now calm
and now notwithstanding to circum-
stances. Her love is stronger and her
dislike more intense. She has more
wonder and curiosity, more tenderness
and tears, more sympathy and reverence
aud hope. In fact, she is purer, better
creation, and was made so because she
was to be a mother and the nurse OF
children.
"IIer prentice band she tried on man,
And then she made the lasses.'
T was talking to a nice lady one day
about woman's rights, and she said that
men and women both had too man"
rights now, and INDUCED themselves in
some q that dident belong to them. For
instance, said she, man has no right to
be fool, ard nc woman has q right to to
he homely. "Dut how can she help it?"
said I. III woman is born ugly, as
we call it, it surely is not her foult."
"Of course not" said she, "but if she Is
born that way she musent stay that way;
She can be good if she wants to be, and
She can be kind and entertaining, and
that will make any woman pretty on IN,
innate acquaintance. The homeliest
woman ever knew was the most fasci-
mating and attractive. And just 30 the

Mr.. S. II. Farrow tells Of how n
dog and a rabbit on his farm got them
selves into a queer scrape. The rabbit
ran into hole under lot of roots and
the dog in trying to get at the rabbit
stuck his head in the hole and became
fastened about the neck in such man.
ner that it was impossible for him to get
his head out. The dog had been missed
from home exactly ten days, when he
was accidentally discovered by little
darkey who was walking through the
field. Assistance was procured and the
dog vas released from his painful situa-
ton, but so weak and exhausted that he
staggered about as if drunk. The rab-
bit was found dead in the bottom Of the
hole. Having been unable to escape
unless it had gone through the dogs
mouth, it died of starvation in sight of
the unfortunate dog. This incident is
interesting as an illustration Of dogs
powers of endurance. The dog drank
aud ate freely on reaching the house and
is now as strong and active as ever, but
he has no use for rabbits, refusing to run
one that WAS turned loose at his nosc.--
