Knew he had a wife, and followed the circus

Fulton's First Steam Voyage.
The following reminiscence ofFiilton's first
steam voyage, and the reception of, as sage
money, was communicated to the Buffalo
Commercial Advertisers by R. W. Hasskins.,
Some years since 1 formed a travelling ac-
quaintance upon a steamboat on' the Hud-
son river with a gentleman who, on that
occasion, related to me some incidents of the
first sroyage of Fulton to Albany, in his
steamboat the Clermont, which I never met
with elsewhere. The gentleman's mune 1
• have now lost, but I urged him at the time
to publish tshat he related, which however,
60 far as I know he never has done :
" cltancect," said my narrator, " to be at
Albany on business -when Fulton arrived
there in his unheard-of craft, which every-
body felt so much intereat in seeing. Being
• ready to leave, and hearing that this craft
was about to return to New York, I repair-
ed on board, and inquired for Mr. Fulton.
I was referred to the cabin, and there found
a plain, gentlemanly Marl wholly alone, and
engaged in writing."
"Mr. Fulton-, I presume."
"Yes, sir."
"Do you return to New York with this
" We shall try to get back, sir."
" Can I have a passage down I"
" You can take your chance with us, sir."
I inquired the amount to be paid, and af-
ter a moment s hesitation, a sum, I think
• sixdollars, was named. The amount, in
coin I laid in his open hand and, withan
eye fixed upon it, he remained so long -mo-
tionless that I -supposed that there Might be
seme.#miScount, and I said to him "18 that
rtht sir ?" •
This roused him from his reverie, and as
• he looked up at me, a tear was seen in his
eye, and his voice faltered as he said. Ex-
cuse me, but memory was busy asI dontem-
a plated this, the firstpecuniary reward I have
received for all my exertions in. adapting
steam to navigation. I would be happy to
commemorate the occasion over a bottle of
• wine with you, but, really, I am too poor
es -cm for that justanoiy ; yet I trust we May
meet againWhen this will not be so."
Some four years -after this, when the Cler-
mont had been geatly impro-ved, and two
new boats Made, making Fulton's fleet three -
boats regularly plying between New York -
and Albany, I took passage in one of these
for the latter city, The cabin in that day
-was below, and as I walked its length to and
fro, I saw I was very closely observed by
no I siipposed a strangdr. • Soon, however,
1 recalled the features of Mr. Fulton, but,
without disclosing this, I continued my walk
and waited the result. At length, in pass-
ing his seat, our eyes met when he aprang
to his feet, and eagerly seizing my hand ex-
claimed, "1 knew it must be you, for your
features have never escaped me, and, al-
though I am still far from rich; yet I may
venture that 3bottle of wine now:'
It was ordered, and during its discussion
Mr. Fulton ran rapidly but vividly over his
experience of the world's coldness and sneers
and of the hopes and fe-ars, disappoinments,
and difficulties that weie scattered through
the whole career of discovery, up to the very
point ot its final crownilagtriumph, at which
he so fully felt he had at last arriyed. "And
in reviewing all these," said he, "I again
and again recalled the oecasion and the inci-
dent of our first interview at Albany ; and
never have1 done so without its renewing
in my mind -the vivid emotion it originally
caused. That seemed, and still does seem
to me the turning point in my destiny, the
dividing line between light and darkness in
my career -upon earth ; for it was the actual
recognition of my usefulness to my fellow-

• For years past .the dredging of a new
channel through the St. Clair flats has been
in progress, and until now noone ever thought
of objecting to Canadian vessels going to and
from these works for the reason that they
were in Am erian territory, from the simple
fact that it was well known—as shown even
by the charts of the American Government
—that all the waters and land lying east of
the Old Ship Channel belonged to Canada.
But now au American ofhcer actually steps
over into Clanadian territory, seizes two Ca-
nadian boats and takes them to an American
city. And this is not the first time siich a
thing, has been done either. We understand
that the whole matter is to be laid before our
Government, and we hope prompt and de-
cided action will be taken in the measures.

Among the wonderful, and to any one
who knows anything of the real life in the
Tuileiies, incomprehensible stories afloat in
the world, the stories that Napoleon III. is

the least surprising. He is neither h silent
nor a haughty man. He talks as much

Our heroine lived in Bartlett, N. H., and
was a descendant of the old Crawfords. Her
father was a Crawford, and followed the pro
fession of guide among the mountains. Her
name was Bessie, and she was the only
daughter remaining at honie—a dark -eyed,
brown -haired girl of • slight, but compact
frame ; just entering on. her nineteenth year
Her mother had been dead several years,
and upon her devolved the whole care of the
household.
One day, late in summer, Mr. Crawford
went, with a party of travellers, away to the
head -waters of die of the many mountain
streams that empty into the Saco, a.nd Bes-
sie was left alone. Even the dogs had all
gone with the pleaaure seekers. • Near the
middle of the afternoon, while the girl was
sitting by an open window of the front room
engaged in sewing, a man came up from the
to by
road, and asked if she would give him a drink
of water. Bessie had seen this man before,
and had not liked his looks. He was a
stout; broad -shouldered, ill-favored fellow,
and the bits of moss and spikes of the pines
upon his clothes, indicated that he had slept
in the woods. ,
But Bessie did not hesitate. She laid a.side
her work and went to get the water. When
she came back the man had entered the
room. She did not like this, for she was
sure he had come in by -the,, window a! but
she banded him the tin dipper without re-
mark. The man drank, and then set the
dipper down upon the table. Then he turn
en upon the girl, and drew a broad -bladed
knife from his pocket.
"Look ye, my young lady," he said, "1
know there's money in this house ; and I
know that youaare alone. Show me where
the money is? If you don't, Ishall kill yon
and then hunt it up myself! I am in ear-
nest, and there ain't no time to waste. Don't
make alfuss, forif you.do you'll feel thisknife
quick !"
'Bessie shrank 'sack, and looked into the
man's face, and she could see that he meant
just what he said.

.Bessie led the way to a small bedroom on
the ground floor, where there was an old
mahogany bureau, the upper _drawer of which
she unlocked; The man, wlien he saw this,
thinking, doubtless, that Crawford's goid was

it into his pocket. The girl opened the

plainly in the firm -set lips, and in the flash-

not only fire, as she had promised but that
her aim would be a sure and fatal one.
And he backed out from the bed-roorn-----
backed into the sitting-room—then leaped
from the open, windovt, and disappeared.
. Bessie kept her pistol by her side until ner

shej had told her story, search was made for
the ruffian. But he was not found. Our
heroine had. so thoroughly frightened him
that he never came that way again.

Gross Outrage Upon Canadian Vessels.

effect that the American authorities had the
audacity on Monday last to enter into Cana-
dian waters and seim the Canadir tug Rein-
deer and the Canadian scow Campbell—pro-
perty of H. Little, Esq., Wallaceburg, toge-
ther with a load of cordwood on the scow,
and took the two vessels to Detroit, for no
other reason than that the said tug and scow
were employed in conveying cordwood from
Wallaceburg, a Canadian port, to Mr. John
Crown's works on the St. Clair flats --works
situated .altogether within the Canadian
boundary line, which is distinctly laid down
as being what is called " Old -Ship Channel,"
the mouth of the River St. Clair.

Mormonism.
Notwithstanding Brigham Young's dim-
fident assertion that the construction of the
Pacific .Railwhy -could not interfere with
the progress ar-- prosperity of his sect, it is
proving the. mist effectual ctieck that Mor
monism has ever received. The influx of
the Gentiles was at first resisted with all
the moral :1 :rd as nauch of physical opposition
as the Saiass dared to use ; and for a time
the New Jerusalena was made too hot titi
hold any hut themost resolute who did not
conform to the prey -ailing religion. When
the line was completed and the tide of emi-
gration swept westward to the Golden State
leaving small detachments of settlers at va-
rious points along the line, the fertile valley
of Salt Lake attracted the attention of the
new comers, and soon the sacred streets of
the city of Brigham Were polluted by the
feet of innumerabre•Gentiles, whom it would
be sheer madness for the Saints to attempt
to persecute.—Many of the Mormons them-
selves, who were previously dissatisfied, but
were afraid to express their discontent,
seeing the power oprigham waning, severed
, their connection with the Beet ; but dread-
ing the consequences of their' heresy, , left
the city., A party of about fifty of these de-
serters arrived in Detroit last Wednesday,
en route for the East They represent Mor-
monism as being M a mOribund condition,
and say that large numb-ers of the Saints are
leaving Salt . Lake city every day. The
women are, especially, anxious -to retin-n to
civilized life, and . look upon the condition
from. which: they have- escaped as woi...se
than slavery. This is hut the commence -
