In what we have hitherto related, we have
confined ourselves lo facts which are univer
sally acknowledged; hift there are oilier points
of the story that have been stated in very op-
posito ways, and have given rise to much
doubt anil dispute.
Tho machinery for which Arkwright took
out his patents, consisted of various parts, his
second specification enumerating no fewnr
than ten different contrivances ; hut of these
tlie one that was by far of greatest impor
tance. was a device for drawing "out the cot
ton front a coarse lo n finer nnd harder twisted
throud, and so rendering it fit lo.bo used for
warp us well as w.cfl. This wns most ingeni
ously managed hy tho application of a princi
ple which had not yet been introduced in nny
other mechanical operation. The cotton was
in the first piuce drawn off from tho skewers
on whic.U'it was fixed, hy tine, pair of rollers
which wore made to move nt a comparatively
slow rate, and which formed into tlironds of
tho first nnd coarser quality, hut ntu little dis
tnnee behind the first was placed n second pair
of rollers,' revolving Ihreo, four or fivo limes ns
fast, which took it op when it had passed
through Iho others, .the effect of which would
he to reduce life thread to a degree of fineness
so many limes greater than that which it ori
ginnlly had. , The first pair of rollers might lie
regarded ns tho feeders of the second, whii'

CANAf, TUAVKI.UNG.
New. York, Feb". 20th, 1332.
Dear Tim,—After looking about Albany,ns
f WjfSIo you Inst summer, Ft hough f I'd tako o'
trip u little furdcr up country and so offl star
ted. Tho first'(ilm-e I 'went to, is called Troy,
settled mostly hy Connecticut folks who ore
up to trap and know a thing or two, 1 tell yo
It is a.protty considerable slick looking place
und‘I should think it pretty good doing theft
You'ctm jo'st'toll this to’Joe Rice who hi
been waiting to transmigrate West somctitni
—he'd do well at butchering there.
At Troy I went uhnurd a canal boat to go
up the Northern canid to Whitehall, a'place
righlni tho lower and of Champlain lake. You
nbiti, which makes it look just like one
t laid upside down right "on top of nnotlicr
pretty comiculdmikmg thing-I tell yon.
i crawl into thy cabin at each: end of tho
unt and yrm can just stiiml up in it without
though a si.vfootcr frdtn Vermont
double up n little. It isn’t very
touc
i scats nro i
d along the
, md the tables in the middle, hut at night
presents a very different sight as I will toll
you buneby. The wpmen folks stay down
stairs all iUy long and amuse themselves with
knitting nnd looking »ul of the wiudows on (he
sides of the canal—the hunt you sec is below
the surfuco of the land and when
oped op like u pureel of cliiekctis, whoa
tlipy. might he enjoying tlip fresh uir and the
prospect on deck- Util’ i reckoned without
my host, I guess—! didn’t know no moro
about cunnt travelling than the child unborn.
Rut stop a moment, let me tell you how the
runnj boats are moved along, for they don’t
go by desm, -ails, paddles, nor none of (hem
sort of contrivuiice#—they are drawn by hor
ses, as regular as ever you saw a stage ora
wagon. Tliere is a narrow road running along
the bank on one side of tho canul, and the
horses,sometimes three nnd sometimos more,
trot ulong this, single file, all harnessed to
gether and the hind one harnessed to tho boat
by a long rope. A hoy sits on the hind horse
and puts on the whip when they wont it, to
kill.
I guess it would he pretty going in theso
ere canal boats, if it want for the plagy brid
ges they keep going under. You see the ca
nal runs right in a straight line and so passes
through ever so many farms, and nt each of
these farms a bridge is made over the canal to
drive the tennis across. Theso bridges are
just high enough lo let the honts go-under
without touching, and when you come to ono
of them the passengers on deck have to tail on
their face-. Oat as pancakes- nod squeeze
ulong under the bridge, and that’s tho reason
why the women folks don’t like to slay on top
of tho cabin—cause why ? it would he fl pret
ty curious sight to see them dropping down in
this way every ten or fifteen minutes, to say
nothing of (heir big sleeves, which I don'l be-
licvo would gel through onu of. these places
without stopping the boat nnd tearing the bridge
all. to pieces.
I was plugily frightened Urn first bridge we
went under. I guess llicro was ns many as
20 fellow's of us on deck, nil sorts and sizes,
and we stood chatting together when all of a
sudden the man.a steering cried out, “ Rrid;
hridgo !” In a twinkling cygry fellow drop
ped ns if he’d been shot, and I dr.opt too, not
knowing what under the canopy to make of it.
The next momont we wore, going right under
the bridge and I kind of hitched up n liltlo t.
see how it h*n!i,-A. wlicri, hy the iioky ! one
sido of my coat tail catchcd in the timbers and
away it went as clean as a slmved dot. After
wo got through the bridge nnd oil our legs
again, the rest of lln> passengers got round me
and began to sympathise in mv loss. I wanted
the captain to put. back and let me get iny
cunt tail, but he said he didn’t put hack for no
body—that one man Imd got liis arm carried
away nnco just like my coat tail, and ho knpt
right on and loft it dangling under the bridge
till next day.
“ Yaw-, mynheer, I lint’s a fact I” said a great
fat Dutchman, taking his pipe out ofhis mouth
and puffing a whole cloud of smoke right into
my faco.. “ Fact or no fact,” says I, “ you
ought to make uu allowance for the loss of my
coat-tail, or else the passengers out to contri
bute to innkn it up.” V Hear the Yankee,”
says iho Dutchman, 41 lie’s up to his turn
tricks—he’3 best a part of his coat tail and
now wauls lo cut offdn captain’s and ours just
like do fox in do’fable !" I foil plagy mad with
tlie old Dutchman and gnve'liim a bit of my
mind—but you cam get a Dutchman mad any
moro than a .graven imnge—they keep smok
ing nnd smoking and smoking, and if you get
tho better of them in arguing, they’ll let out
the smoke on you till you havo to givo it up,
and then.they claim the victory—but the
Dutchman got the laugh on -himself pretty
well after dinner ns I’ll tell you.
You see the Dutchman who lived some
where ijp the country, had travelled on the
canal afore and know to a fraction just what
bridges he could go under, ond .wlmt be could
not—he was so plagy fat ho could no 'more
get under some of them, than'an elephant
could get through an empty flour barrel. The
old fellow nto liko a horse nt dinner—T sup
pose to got Ms money’s worth-—and thatjnnde
him n littlo moro robustous than usual,
that ho did’t mnhe the proper allowance in his
measurement when be came to go under the
bridges. There he stood with tho rest of us
nn deck, with liis hand in his breerhes pocket
and his pipe in his mouth puffing and -sweat
ing in tho sun just liko a great fat gruntcr.
Ilimeby the ward was given 11 Rridgo I bridge!

and the boat wns shooting under the bridge,

ance as dead as a ham door, though ho kept
puffing nnd pulling ns if ho was still smoking.
As soon tis we could, wc raised him up on cud
when ho opened liis rnouth and spit Tun the
fragments of his broken'pipo and four or five
teeth nlFcovcrcd with blood. IVe next went
to work to strip iho'Dutchman, to seo if "ho
Imd experienced any intornul bruises—we got
ofi* one pair of brunches, and then another, and
another, till lit hist wc gave it up ftir a bad job,
not knowing how many pair tli« old feller had
on, Finding himself relieved of so great a
load, he got up Httd appeared qaile cleverly,
and it want long afore he gnl a new pipe and
sot down' in thestern of the boat and went smok
ing sgnin. hut he looked aiu'azmg flatted down
like. I guess it was tlin breeches' that saved
his life—jn rv.y nation that’s the reason the
Dutchmen always weur so many pair of them ;
it were-
turned into
beds, and over them was atiothcrtier of beds
hung tip by cords—I guess in all about thirty
of thorn. Wo had to draw cuts for tho beds
or berths, ns they are calied, though faith!
they like to luve been the death ofsomo of us
as you shall learn. I drew No. 1. and the fat
Dutchman No. 2.—and as soon as we two
had drawn otir beds, the Captain steps up to
me and savs he, 44 you’ll pleaso to retire, sir.
“ Retire !” says I, 44 not hy two chalks ! I
mean to stay here all night—I’vo paid my pas
sage, and 1 guess have as good right to a
night’s lodging as*any of you.”
The passengers all laughed nnd looked pla-
gily pleased to see mo so spunky, and so tho”
captain kind of. turned it off— 41 Ob, you don’t
understand me,” #ays he, “ I mean .you will
plea3e to undress and go to lied—No. 1—tho
top berth there—that’s yours.” 44 I guess I
understand you,” says I, “ I’ve travelled aforn
now, and ain’t lo ho humbugged in this way—
I shant go to bed till I nm ready, sir!” 44 Rut
my dear sir,” says he, trying lo coax me,
ihero are special reasons for your going In
bed first.” 41 Special reasons I why don’t
you give them then ?”— 41 Why yon see what
narrow apartments we have here? here’s 40
passengers to be stowed away sooiewliere—
we must puck in the side ones first and then
we can spreaj) the beds in the centre, and to
do this every man must take his berth as he
draws it, that’s the rule of the boat—come
I’ll lake nffyour coat sir !” says he- “ You’ve
taken off the tail already,” soys I, “I’ve no
notion of being 'imposed upon—d’ve think
I’m going to trust mysclfin that rickctly thing
thut you call a bed—the strings uint strong
enough to bear me—let the Dutchman make
the experiment, and if it hears him, I’ll try it.”
“ Well, you decline the berth, do you 7” say#
the captain. For the present certainly,”
says I. 14 Then you nrp entitled to it," says
lie lo the Dutchman. 44 Yuli! ynh ! I’ve been
this way ol'ore and know all about it—the
Yankeo is one pig rownrd, every inch of him;”
“Then you are a whole hog coward, I guess,”
savs I, “ if I nm nothing lint a pig one."
A Dutchman can’t understand u joke no
more than n cabbage-head, and so he looked
tm grave ns a mec.tinu house, and begun to
undress quite deliberately. When he got all
ready, he pulled his rod night cap over his
face just like a fellow going to he hong, and
up It" jumped like an overgrown hull pad
duck plump into his berth. Tho bed groaned
for u moment. uiKjA the load, and the next
moment the slriugTsnnpl liko tow, and down
came the-bed,. bedding, Dutchman and all
plumn inloTne middle of the cabin floor. I
never henrd such a shout of laughter afore, nor
since—the Dutchman roared nnd kicked—
the captain raved, statnpt and swore—for my
part I forgot the loss of my cont toil, ond
thought I should have killed myself wilh laugh
ing. 44 You’ve upset your apple-cart now,”
says t as soon as I’dc done laughing. “,Ap
plo cart I” says the Dutchman, picking him
sell' up. “ I don’t sec no apple cart here.”
44 The Yankee is joking.” says the captain—
“ here,” says lie to me, 44 lot us Ituve no more
of vour sarso,—npplo-sarac, nor .no other kind
>f sarse—come, mnvcyourself'lo bed.” “Not
lilFthe Dutchman is'gonc,”says I, uod with
that he got same big ropes nnd tied tin tho
Dutchman’s bed again and got him into it,and
theii.lied a rope round him and made it fust to
a spike ill the wall. 4 ‘ There, that will do,'
says I, and (hen I undressed and got into the

' A bold step on the part of Frunklin, accele
rated the decision ofthe King. The Ameri

were agreeably dissipated, when an answer
arrived signifying that the government had al

Evening.—There arc two poriods in the lift,
of man, in which tho evening hnuris.pccuhnrlv
interesting—in youth and in old age. In youth
wo love it tor its mellow moonlight, its mjllior,
of stars, its thou rich nnd'soothing shades, its
still serenity; amid these wu can commune
with our loves, or twine tho wreaths of friend
ship,’while jhfc-ro is none to bear us witness toil
the heavens a-id the spirits that hold their end
less sabbath there-—or looit into the deep bo
som of creation, spread abroad liko a canopy
above us, and look and listen until wo can al
most second hear the waving wings nnd melting
songs of other worlds. To youth, evening is
delightful; it accords wilh the flow ofhis light
spirit#, the fervor of liis fancy, and the softness
ofhis heart. It i# also the delight of virtuous
ngo ; it affords hours of undisturbed contem
plation ; it scorns an emblem of the calm nnd
tranquil close of busy lift,—Serene,: placid and
mild, with tho impress of its Creator stamped
upon it; it spreads it; wings over the grave, and
seems to promise all shall be peace beyond it.

justly acquired celebrity of the latter prevent

came the rage in France; a perfect mania ex
isted to see and converse with him, and lo ob-
tnin lhese coveted advantages, all ranks and

tho trouble nf being thus courted, and sought

at once the handsomest, most fiank, sensible,
and well informed, yet simple us u child, und

kept aloof from the crowd with which ho was
