RUMseYS STEAMBOAT.

Records Which Show That 1t Antedated
Fulton's Product by Tweuty-tWo Years
The records of jefferson county, W.
Va, prove what is not general, known
that Robert Fulton was not the first
man to build steamboat i'll this cOun-
try He was anticipated over - years
by James Rumsey of Charleston, Va,
now West Virginia. Rumsey's steam
boat was partly constructed in Frederick
county, Md, in 1883. 1t was fitted up
with machinery partly manufactured at
a furnace called Tho Cococtin Fur
mace, owned by johnson Brothers, and
located near the town of Frederick
The two cylinders, the boiler, pumps,
pipes, etc. were built III Baltimore.
Part of the work was done at the Old
Antietam Iron works Rumsey's boat
was so feet i'll length, and it was pro
PEELED by an engine which worked a
vertical pump placed in the center of the
vessel The water WAS drawn i'll at tho
bow and forced ont at the stern through
horizontal pipe. The entire weight Of
the machinery WAS 66J pounds and
the tonnage of the vessel was three tons.
The entire machinery, including the
boiler, etc, took up space of very lit
tie over 1 feet square.
The first public experiment took place
on the Potomac river on March IL, 1856,
when the boat showed "A speed IF four
miles am hour up stream. The records of
Jefferson county also show that George
Washington and Governor Thomas John
son of Maryland Were among the pat
rons of Rumsey, and that the experiment
was made in the interest of the then
proposed Chesapeake and Ohio canal =

A STOLEN SECRET.
How Minister Jewell Learned 60 MAKE
Russia Leather.


Russia Leather.
Jewell, like all men brought up 20
le.rrn trade, aud who afterward gained
prominence in affairs. made now and
then unconscious revelations of his early
training. During one of the campaigns
in which l,e was engaged he found HIM
self ut country hotel where the table
was bountcnus. hut the rooms few and
small. II WAS necessary in order that the
whole party might bc housed for each
bed to be occupied by two persons. The
governors roommate was Il young poll
tician, who could not hide his surprise
when the governor just before retiring
rolled the sleeves of his night shirt even
as far up as his shoulders, and then
bathcd his arms in cold water
You wonder why do this, said
the governor. well, / couldn't sleep
unless / did When was IA youngSter
learning the tanners trade, used 90
have my arms in the watts all day long.
and ut night my skin would smart rs
though / had been stung by nettles- /
could not bear to have any cloth touch

shirt sleeves a. far aS l could, and thus
have slept ever since. y
When Jewell was minister 10 Russia,
he PLAYED a Yankee trick upon the Rus
slams, the benefits of which we are reap
ing even to this day in this country.
Like every other American tanner, he
had long wanted to know the secret of
tho process of manufacturing Russian
leather He had experimental with 4
few dollars himself, only to learn that
the secret was not to be discovered.
When at the court IF 1T. Petersburg
be profesSed great interest in Russian
industries and was shown through many
of the manufactures there. BY and by
there came an opportunity to 20 through
"A factory where Russia leather was man

courteSies and seemed profoundly inter

not interest him and wholly blind To the
very things he went to that place 10

thought. When he came ont of that fac.
tory, he had discovered. rs lac believed,
the process, and he brought the diScov-

Some Arc SGnuine, others simply Stand
Fer NhObbrry How to Distinguish.
Ryphenated names in Europe may be
ivided into two overwhelmingly
those wherein the hyphen is a mere piece
of snobbery and atfectation, aud those
wherein it is consequent upon a legal
obligation The latter are III the minor
ity and are borne almost invariably by
legatees and their descendants, who have
inherited property, usually real estate,
contingent upon their t;lckiuS the name
Of the teStatOr on to their own, or else
they are men who have married he.rcNseS
and been accepted as husbands for the
latter ON the condition that they should
append the family name OF their wives
to their own patronymic.
People in the other category, who use
the hyphen merely with the object of
creating the impression that they are of
more anciont lineage than is really the
case, invariably prefix, instead Of ap-
pending, the additional name, and it is
this that enables one to distinguish the
bona fide double barrel, = as Lord Ran
dolph Churchill used TO call them, from
those who are not, for you have only TO
ask Mr.. Ponsonby- Jones for the name Of
his paternal grandfather i'll order to find
out that the old gentleman was simple
Jones, devoid of the aristOcratic Ponson-
by, whereas in the ease of surnames
adopted in Difference TO testamentary
dispositions one will invariably find ON
inquiry that the paternal grandfather
and ancestors bore the first of the two
patrpnymics.
The persons who make use Of hyphen-
ated names without being compelled 10
do so are usually the owners Of patro-
nylnics excruciatingly plebcian, who
hope, vainly, it is true, To redeem the
commonplace character of their name by
prefixing thereto one calculated, they
trust, to create the impression that they
are connected with some of the great
houses of the nobility. Thus 1t is qnite
