An Imnor,nnt RIt OF History.

Gov. Fuller's paper before the Profess
sional club Monday evening was of unus-
ual public interest, from the fact that it
presented in a concise and connected way
the indsputable record of facts which
show that Samuel Morey of Fairlee was
the first man who ever invented, built and
ran a steamboat. There is a vague i'm
preston in the public mind that MOrey
made some sort of an imperfect attempt to
run steamboat on the Connecticut river
at Fairlee, but it is not generally known
that, besides his experiments there at his
own home, he ran a steamboat from Hart
ford to New Haven, and that he built at
Bordentown, N. j., larger boat which he
ran between that place and Philadelphia.
A model of his boat was exhibited in New
York city, and his invention attracted the
attention of Robert Fulton, the Living
stons, and others who were studying the
problem of steam navigation. Fulton in
deed made practical application of the in
vention to commercial use, but Morey, the
Vermonter, was the original inventor be-
yond any question.
Here is something to impress on the

MINOR NOTES.

Out of the IL clerkships thus far given
by the United States Senate six are to the
sons of Democratic Senators. The sena-
tors evidently believe in nepotism.
The New Hampshire legislature has
passed bill appropriating $40 600 for the
statues of Gen. John Stark and Daniel
Webster, to be placed in the National
Statuary hall at Washington.
The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Record says: "Col. Bradley Small

the port at Burlington, the best Office to be
given to the small and select Vermont De-
mocracy."
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Maxwell took formal charge of his Office
Tuesday 1t is learned that there are on
file in the department more than 5000 res
ignations of postmasters, many of the
fourth class.
Politics is evidently lucrative profess
sion for Boss Richard Croker of Tammany
Hall. Last week he paid $3.50, 900 for
half interest in the Belle Meade stock
farm, near Nashville, Tenn. At the time
of the Fassett investigation in 1889 all the
property owned by Croker was his house
and lot in Harlem.
Mrs. Blaine has decided to leave her

The latest census bulletin gives the for
eign-born population of Vermont as A.
OSS, of whom 25, ,O04 were born in the Do
minion of Canada and 9S10 in Ireland,
while the rest include representatives of
every country on the face of the earth.
As the population of Vermont is in round
numbers $4,000, it will be seen that near
ly one person in every seven is of foreign
birth; and the persons of foreign birth
and the children of foreign-born persons
constitute one-third of our whole popula-
ton.

A Very Good Name.
From the New York Sun. |

Ethan Allen is the name given to the
new military post to be established near
Essex Junction, in accordance with a re-
cent act of Congress. 1t is a very good
name for military post anywhere in the
Green Mountain state, but especially ap-
propriate for this one, which will be close
by the spot where the hero of Ticonderoga
lived; in fact, as Secretary Elkins said at
one time he owned the land on which the
fort is to be built.
