The Bourbon Story.
The Bourbon Story, relative to the Rev. Eleazcr Wil
the American Missionary among the Indians, be
gthe true Louis XVII of France, does not meet a fa
ole response abroad. A work has been published
j-Paris, bv M. A. lieauchesne, a Legitimist, who has
ted his attention tir twenty years to investigating
I- ticts resjasting the captivity of the unfortunate

be Royal child. These men, who testified to the
,t:tv of the prisoner and the dauphin, having seen
i known him before his captivity, saw him die, bore
ess to the tact, and furnished* him uu account of
death. The following are the certificates of these
■n. bearing witness to the accuracy of the account
inch M. Boauchesue has published:

President Fillmore.
In accordance with a resolution of the City Councils
of Washington, and agreeably to appointment, the
members ot the Board of Aldermen and Board of Com
mon Council, with the Mayor and other Executive offi
cers of the Corporation, waited oil President Fillmore
on Tuesday, to tender their respects and good wishes in
taking leave of him on his retirement from office and
from the seat of government. Mr. Mai ny, the Mayor,
addressed the President as follows:
Mr. Pros'dent :—The Corporate authorities of the
City of Washington, wait upon you in a body, as a
manifestation of their high respect and regard, for the
purpose of taking leave of you upon your retirement
from the exalted station which you now hold ; and in
doing so they desire to express to yon their grateful ac
knowledgement for the kindness which you have uni
formly shown towards our city, and the lively interest
which you have always taken in its prosperity, and their i
earnest hopes that on your return to private life yon ‘
may, surrounded by your family, live to enjoy many
years of uninterrupted health and happiness.
I now, in the name of the Corporate authorities oi
the City of Washington, cordially hid you farewell!
To which President Fillmore replied as follows:
Mr. M >j r un i GenVrtn n :—This isan honor which
I did not anticipate, and am therefore unprepared to ex
press iu suitable language the grateful emotions which
it naturally inspires. 1 can assure you however, that I
feel that 1 am entitled to the congratulations of my
friends at the approaching termination <>f my official la
bors and responsibilities. While 1 shall retire from
this exalted station without a single regret, I cannot
leave your delightful city, where I have ever been trea
ted with so much kindness and consideration, without
feeling a pang of regret at the severance of so many so
cial ties which have been to me sources of unalloyed
happiness. If, in the course of mv brief Administra
tion, i have been able to accomplish anything to pro
mole the prosperity or add to the attractions of this
lovely city, beat ing the name of the immortal Washing
ton, this reflection will ever be to me a source of sincere
gratification.
This city stands upon a spot recently selected from
the wilderness, and consecrated to the exclusive use and
control of this great nation. It should be adorned as
becomes such a nation, and rendered an attractive ob
ject of love and admiration to the whole |>eople. It is
the emblem of our union, and should be the pride of
every patriot. Acting upon these views, I have cheer
fully lent all my efforts to beautify and adorn it, not
lucreh for the sake of the residents of the city, but as an
object of just national pride, and as a means of” strength
ening our glorious Union.
With my profound acknowledgments for this signal
mark of your respect, and my sincere prayers for the
continued prosperity of your city, I bid you an affec
tionate farewell.
Ericsson on the Ohio .and Mississippi. —We learn
lhat on the Ohio and Mississippi the liveliest interest is
manifested iu relation to the caloric engine, and that
one wealthy firm in Cincinnati have determined to
build a first-class boat, to be propelled by hot air.
Should the experiment prove successful, of which there
cannot be a doubt, an entire revolution will be made in
the motive power to be used on that great artery of
commerce. We shall then have no more wholesale
scalding of men, women, and children ; no more man
gling and disfiguring them fbrlife; iu short, no further
chronicling of those horrible disasters and explosions
which are of such freequent occurrence on the western
rivers, and which cause the blood of the nation to run
cold. Those who have not seen the Ericsson engine in
actual operation are, naturally enough, less sanguine as
to its practicability than those who have. We are of
the latter, aud rank ourselves among those who believe
that the days of steam are numbered ; and that so soon
as an engine shall be produced, as several will be with
in the next six months, capable of propelling a vessel
at the rare of twelve miles an hour, that moment steam
j>ower gets its final spiietu*. Timid gentlemen need
then have no further apprehension about tbe engine’s
“bilingher buster; ’for, as was wittily remarked in our
hearing bv an eminent g-.ailam,m ou board
the Kricxx'in on her last trip, there will be “no more
danger of that than of blowing off the crown of your
hat by the force of your imagination. C/uri r.
The Caloric Ship Ericsson.— We have no wish to
say a word against the new method of propulsion that
is about to be tested in its application to the Eriscson,
which vessel, in the course of a short period, may be
expected to arrive in this country from America. All
that we wish to draw attention to, without disparage
ment to any successful modification that Capt. Ericsson
may put in operation connected with heated air us a
motive power, is the fact, that the invention, said to be
his, is not new. About thirty years ago, a vessel
named the Highland Lad, that many of ottr readers will
remember as a passage boat on the Clyde, was fitted up
by Messrs. Claud, Girdwood A Cos., of this city, with a
caloric engine, the invention, we believe, of the Rev.
Mr. Stirling, now minister of a parish—Galston, we
think—near Kilmarnock. This engine propelled the
vessel at the moderate rate that gave satisfaction in
those days, being estimated as working to twenty horse
power, It was subsequently removed from the vessel
In consequence of the working parts yielding to the en
ormous heat, and thereby becoming soft, and giving
way, and its place was supplied bv an ordinary steam
engine. We fear that Capt. Ericsson’s engine will
labor under a like disadvantage ; but be that as it may,
he must content himself as ranking in this country as
the mere modifier of the invention of Mr. S irling,
whose caloric engine tve saw working regularly in Dun
dee, in 1 -44, in a factory.— GL’ujow {Scotland) Adcer

A Cons iexhious Patient. —A dentist of high repu
tation, living on the Boulevard at Paris, was lately as
tonished by a somewhat novel and curious incident.
Every day at precisely the same hour his door-bell was
rung with furious violence. This of itself was not par
ticularly astonishing to one accustomed to receive visi
tors whose pains might readily Ibrget the courtesies due
to bell pulis, and whose movements were naturally con
vulsive. But on running to the door in answer to the
imperative summons, the domestic every day found no
visitor, but iustead, upon the mat a five franc piece,
placed there by some unknown hands. This mysteri
ous charity continued several days in succession, and
was finally discovered by the artifice of waiting behind
the door for the mysterious riiiger. This was found to
be no other than an unhappy subject who came every
day to hbie a tooth drawn, from the pain of which he
suffered terribly. But on arriving at the dentist’s door,
he found, as ail ihe world has often before found, that
his aching tooth suddenly ceased to annoy him, an effect
which he readily attributed to the sudden approach of
the ojoerator, whom with fastidious honesty he thus re
paid. The dentist, who by the way, whs equally honest,
tiad the greatest difficulty in persuading his eccentric
patron to accept the restitution of the money, which he
thought but a feeble remuneration for such efficacious
consultation.
“Oi k Best Society ’’ — We have lately been put in
possi-jmoii ot an incident, of actual occurrence, r.l
.hough we should not dare to reveal its locality, which
illustrates in the most faithful and forcible manner the
ignorance which is too apt to exist iu the self-styled
“upi*T circles ”
A gentlemen of education and refinement became in
terested in a voung lady of high standing in fashionable
life, whom he had met at an evening party.—Aciiug
upon an impulse common to lovers, he soon after paid
her a visit and found her iu the parlor enjoying In r
u( wh rtftn dltj. upon a velvet soia, surrounded by all
the appurtenances of elegant luxury. Tlie usual civili
ties incident to such an occasion having been exchang
ed, and conversation fairly commenced, the gentleman
ventured *o enquire of the lady as to the employment of
her time, rihe replied, languidly, “in reading and wri
ting.” “Ah! lending —plenty of rare books 1 see, and
writing—Poetry?” “No sir. “I'roae?” “No sir.”—
“Blank verse, perhaps?” “No sir—tine hand.” Is it
ncceraurv for us to add that the approximate suitor
made a liaslv exit —leaving his anticipated proposal mi
st d.dried and unsung.”— Llif. Erprt**.
Tub President and Father Ritchie —On lhe morn
ing after the General’s arrival, while getting shared at
h barber’s shop, Father Ritchie stepped in, and was in
formed of the arrival. “Well,” said the venerable edi
tor, “i don’t care w hether he has or not. 1 have no
favors to ask. 1 only want to get shaved.” “Glad of
it,” replied the General. “I am happy to see you, Mr.
Ritchie.” So they say.
