Cotton In 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 con-
ceived by VIM. B. Carr some months
ago, is about to crystalizc into an actual
experiment.. A gentleman who is
thoroughly conversant 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, a practical success.
He has arranged for bringing out colo
ny of one hundred colored field hands,
who are expected to arrive at Sumner
within a 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 tho
area Of the Immigration Society's dis.
pensations. White labor has been found
to be too expensive for cotton culture az
a profitable industry in this State, and
there are various objections to Cinnamon.

the dog in trying to get ct the rabbit
stuck his head in the hole and became
fastened about the neck in such a man

his head out. The dog had been missed
from home exactly ten days, when he
was accidentally discovered by n little
darkey who was walking through the
field. Assistance was procured and the
dog was released from his painful situa-
tion, 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, il died Of starvation in sight of
the unfortunate dog. This incident is
interesting as an illustration Of a 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 nose.-

Tho 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 native of New York.
Both Of these notions are erroneous. He
was not the inventor of the steamboat,
and he WAS native of Pennsylvania.
The inventor Of the steamboat y-as
Juna Fitch. This remarkable man,
native of that part Of old Windsor that
is on the East side of tho Connecticut
river and is now included in the new
township of South Windsor, conceived
the idea of q steamboat while living in
Philadelphia, in 1884, twenty-three years
before Fulton started his boat. Fitch
went ahead with his idea-petitione
Congress in 1885 for aid to build his yes.
sci and submitted his model to the Amer
lean Philosophical Society of Philadel.
phia. He received some assistance from
individuals, went ahead, built a boat, the
Perseverance, and had it in actual opera.

power by means of cFanks ever construct

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, co that in 1888 it made eight miles
an hour. 1t 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.
