Inventor of the Steamboat.

Governor Fuller's paper before the
Professional club Monday evening was
of unusual public interest, from the
fact that it presented in o concise and
connected way the indisputable record
Of facts which show that Samuel Morey
of Fairlee was the first man who ever
invented, built and ran steamboat.
There is vague impression in the
public mind that Morey made some
sort of an imperfect attempt to run a
steamboat on the Connecticut river at
Fairlee, but it is not generally known
that, besides his experiments there at his
own home, he ran steamboat from
Hartford 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 at
tracted the attention of Robert Fulton,
the Livingstons and others who were
studying the problem of steam naviga-
ton. Fulton indeed made practical ap-
plication Of the invention to commercial
use, but Morey, tho Vermonter, was the
original inventor beyond any question.

Miss Agnes Huntington tells very in

Tho opera was 'Geralga, and | sang

words of my song were oh, holy vow.'

slowly wended our way down o steep

their song was my entrance cue. stood

Fnrocinns wild DOGS.

The general belief of the wild dos
tribes Of India is borne out by two stories
told by Colonel baldwin of their attack
ing the bear, and the tiger which put the
fact beyond doubt. A. bear was found
by an English officer standing at bay be-
fore the dogs. He had killed one, but
his hide and body were torn in strips by
the bites Of Che pack. In the other the
fresh bones of a tiger were found from
which the flesh had been eaten One paw
still remained whole, and close by lay
the freshly killed bodies of three wild
dogs which had fallen In the fight.
Remembering not only the strength
and activity of the tiger but the aston
ishing pluck with which, even when
wounded, it will constantly charge a
line of elephants and endeavor to scale
the howdah-which is, in fact, fort
with on armed garrison is difficult to
overestimate the courage Of the wild
dogs in meeting and destroying such an
antagonist We think it extremely pro
bable' that future observations of the
courage of the wild dog may Justify q
statement once made, perhaps without
sufficient evidence, that they have an
inherent hostility to a larger felinm, and
are incessantly on the watch to destroy
their whelps, so that the species are the
instrument by which nature keeps down
thesuperabundant felinn Of the wilder
ness.-London Spectator.

A paby.. Root In a seashsll

@. w. Fox Of Redwood City, Cal, has
in his possession one of the most remark
able curiosities ever found on the Pacific
coast-nothing more or less than an aba
lone shell in the interior of which, firmly
incased in tho pearly shell secretion,
there is baby'a shoe and stocking. The
shape is perfect in every particular, bl1t
the size indicates that the owner of these
pedal coverings was a very young child.
The solo OF the shoe and the toe, badly
worn and red from long continued water
soaking. can be plainly seen when the
secretion has not entirely enveloped it.
Tho stocking is not visible, however.
Threads Of the wool can be drawn from
the pearly incasement by using crochet
hook or oven a bent pin.
The BUTTONS are covered with abalone,
looking like pendant pearls set in row
down tho side of this odd shaped shell.
The little tassel can still be plainly seen,
as can also the hole where one Of the but
tons has been pulled out. There is but
ono tenable solution that can be given in
explanation of this seashell mystery.
The body Of drowned infant was being
carried along by the tide when tho foot
passed into the open abalone shell, which
of course instantly closed like vice.
Then tho imprisoned foot was held until
severed from tho body by decay. In the
meantime the shellfish was busily en-
gagged in covering the shoe, stocking and
foot with its pearly secrctions.-Phila-

National Quarantine and lmmi grafton.
In Wednesdays DISPATCH il was stated
that Colonel O'FEARALL had said III an
interview the day before with one OF our
local reporters that he did not think the
present Congress would leGislate on the
subJect of immigration beyond what is
contained in the quarantine bill passed by
the House Of Representatives last Monday.
In view of the momentous consequences
which may follow failure to act promptly
and properly ON measure OF so much IN
portance. everybody will desire TO know
what provision the bill alluded to by Colo
mel O'FEERALL makes for suspending immi-
grafton to this country.
The success Of the Worlds Fair depends
upon whether infectious and contagious
diseases shall or shall not be permitted 20
enter this country pending the holding Of
the grand national exposition. Indeed,
we may strengthen our language and say
that there will be no Worlds Fair worthy
OF the name if the people who are expected
TO come to II from the four quarters of the
globe shall have any occasion Whatever to
doubt the sanitary condition of the city
Or the country IN which 1t is expected To
be held. Chicago has no such reputation
for healthfulness as would enable her to
olive down" time enough to insure the
success of the fair the alarming reports
which NAV confidently be expected 10 per-
wade all lands In case the Government OF
the United States shall neglect its duty IN
the premises and turn over that city TO the
ravages OF rumors which shall prove 10
be as dangerous as facts 20 the prosperity
Of the fair, which all the nations expect 10
surpass in every respect the greatest ex-
positions the world has ever witnessed.
The national-Quarantine bill which was
passed by the House OF Representatives
on Monday last received so large majority
OF the votes cast on the question of ITS
passage that we.infer its successful egress
from the Senate. In the debates IN the
House II came out that there had been q
nstional-quarantipe law enacted as long

was supposed to be the Tammany contin-

sition TO the passage Of the bill could
hardly be styled "factious." in view of
the arguments brought forward to show
that the New York authorities understood
the needs Of the occasion better than the
national authorities could possibly DO cx-
