FultOn's First Steamboat.

The following letter descriptive of
the first voyage of the Clermont from
Albany was written by Robert Full
ton and sent to Chancellor Robert r.

ter now is:
NEW YORK, Saturday. the 28th of
August, 18O7-Dear sir: On Saturday
I wrote you that arrived here on
Friday at o'clock, which made my
voyage from Albany exactly thirty
hours. We had little wind on Fri
day morning, but no waves which
produced any effect. / have been
making every exertion to get off on
Monday morning, but there has been
much work to do-boarding all the
sides, decking over the 5boiler and
works, finishing each cabin with
twelve berths to make them comfort
able, and strengthening many parts
of the iron works. So much to do,
and the rain, which delays the calk-
ers, will, I fear, not let me off till
Wednesday morning. Then, how
ever, the boat will be as complete as
she can be made-all strong and in
good order and the men well organ
lied, and, I have, nothing to do2but
to run her for six weeks Or two
months. The first week, that is if
she will make one trip to Albany and
back. Every succeeding week she
will run three trips-that is, two to
Albany and one to New York, Or TWO
to New York and one to Albany, al
ways having Sunday and four nights
for rest to the crew By carrying for
the usual price there can be no doubt
but the steamboat will have the pref
erence because of the certainty and
agreeable movements. I have seen
the captain of the fine sloop from
Hudson. He says the average of

hours. For steamboat it would have
have been thirty certain. The per-

The statement, SO far AS the latter por-

incredible: but if it be true, it is earn
estly to BE- trusted that her majesty
will not gauge the capabilities Of the

is then presented to her. Enemies is
a fair adoption Of French novel; and
IN 1t Mrs. Langtry has certainly prov
ed, that at last and more quickly than
could have been expected, she has
emerged from the dress doll amateur
to the serious actress. She has made
vast stride Ia her adopted profession,
and, when engaged in the business of
the scene, she really acts more than
passably well. It is only when being
in the difficult position Of Ell scene
and yet having nothing to do, that
she betrays lingering traces OF the
amatuer. But that Mrs. Langtry
should be chosen as q specimen of our
modern actresses is simply ludicrious

A. Northern Missouri Orchard.
Prairie Farmer

The site of the orchard on my home
farm is high prairie land, sloping to
the northeast. It had been in corn
for q number of years We began
preparations for the orchard in the
Spring, as soon as the ground was in
condition TO work, cut the stalks and
plowed and prepared the ground as
for good corn crop. Then we went
to home nursery near at hand, and
purchased 100 2 year cid trees, viz
ten Ben Davis, ten Minkler, twenty
five Missouri pippin, thirty greaning,
ten wine sap. i've early June, five
willow twigs, and FIVE other kinds.
The ground between the rows we
planted to beans. It twas ''grasshop-
per year." and the devouring pests
ate up the beans, digging 2 or inches
to eat the roots. In consequence of
this visitation the trees made very
poor growth the first year, Next sea-
son and for the four succeeding years
we planted the orchard to potatoes,
being careful to lyeep down all weeds,
especially during the early part Of the
season, and also to keep sharp eye
on the borers, which are the greatest
orchard pest we have TO contend with
in this, region. We also manured
the ground at least three times quite
heavily, being careful not to pile the
manure closely about the trunks of
the trees, as nothing is more favor
able for the borers than decaying
matter about the trunks We also
put all the leached ashes we had close
up to the trunk, as they are good
preventive of borers.
We had to replant about eight trees
killed the first year by the hoppers.
The spring of the sixth year, we seed
ed to clover, as the trees were so large
they shaded the ground. We had by
this time learned our mistake ia set
ing them too close. Apple trees should
never be set less than two rods apart
for the best of results. These trees
were set % feet and the limbs inter
laced by the seventh or eighth year.
sixth about forty bushels, mostly
Missouri pippins, and very handsome
specimens. The pippin is frst-class
tree to bear, and the apples second tie
none for cooking, baking, or cider.
From the sixth year up to the present
we have had from 100 to 400 bushels
every year. When the tops get large
enough to shade the trunk from the
sun the b0rers do not trouble them es-
pecialiy on north slope, which is the
best one to select. tbs hot sun is
very hard on young trees during our
hot August. No enc need fear to set
an orchard in this region, as it seems
to be the natural home of the apple.
[ have no doubt northern Missouri
could supply the United States with
apples, If as much attention was Civ
them as the corn crop receives. Yet
there are comparatively few good Or
chards for several good reasons: I.
BecSuse little Or no cultivation is Civ
en- the trees. 2. Trees are not proper
ly takes up at the nursery, no small
roots are left. 3. Trees are set which
are not acclimated. Apples that cur
fathers raise at the East will not do
we'll here, and Northern winter fruit
becomes fall fruit. For q commercial
orchard, set half to Ben Davis They
sold here for 25 cents a bushel last
winter.
