TELL HIS OWN r.1LE.
‘.Being anxious to give au account
of my life from boyhood days until.
manhood; I shall briefly relate suule
of the Must, to me, interesting p4rte
of icy -life. My father being' welf-
to•do in worldly affairs, 1, with the
rest of the family of to.lr boys and
two girls, was raised in luxury, and
WAS sent to fir-t-claae ace ools, at in
those days there' were uo public
scheol5 as now.
"I must mention that I was the
third• son, buru in the year 1800,
Dec. 19. My father died iu the
year 1824, aged 49, being then in
lay sixteenth year. In about 1821 ,
I saved a buy front drowning whsle
we were both iu the St. Charles
River, Quebec, Canada, my native
place. The boy was sinking for the
third time when I siezod him by
the hair of the head and succeeded
to land hitn on the beach, He was
resuscitated at my home,
"My father dying, as before
stated, I made up my mind that I
would learn the art ofshillbiiilding,
the business my father 'followed
My, father having made no will the
management of' his large estate was
by law duly put into the hands ot
executors or trustees to manage for
the widow and children.
RE GOES tO ENGLAND.
"Being still desirous to learn ship
building, 1 was scut to London,
England, having a guardian ap•
poiuted in the firm of Rogerson,
Hunter & Co , merchants, Loudon,
England. Having had an inter
view with the great shipbuilding
firm, Wigratn & Green, on learning
I was likely to have money to
'spend, it was decided it would be
best for my interest to send me to
a small seaport .town, North Yar-
mouth, England, on the coaat of
the German Ocean, 120 miles north
of London.
"In the year 1828 I Ieft for
Greenock, arriving there after a
short passage. I then went to
work to qualify myself in the line
of my chosen busihess to return to
Quebec and take up my late father's
ship yard, but to my surprise I re-
ceived a letter that my father's
estate, valued at over $300.000,
would not pay and.I should have
to look to myself for my living.
BUILDS A THISTORIC BOAT.
"Discouraged by such news, I
hardly knew whatgto do. However,
I put my shoulder to the wheel
with all the energy I was' possessed
Ai i of, and was soon at the head of my
ambition, being f illy competent in
all branches of the art. In the
year 1830 I was appointed by Mr.
Simons with a strong recommenda—
tion to proceed to Quebec to super-
intend the first s: eantshi p that crossed
the Atlantic, the Royal William of
- Quebec. She wee built to run be-
tween Halifax and Quebec in the
summer and in the winter to the
West Indian Islands, but as it prov-
ed a non-paying business the stock-
holders made up their minds to
end her across the ocean to London,
England, for sale.
"She Left Quebec in A ugust,
1833, and arrived in London's river
in t treaty -five days, and in due
time was sold to the Spanish Gpv-
ernment to be made a transport,
She was actually thefirst steamship
to fire a cannon fn war.
"After the constrtrction of this
steamship, launched in the spring
of 1831, .I commenced beetnees ou
lay own account, built quite a num
ber of vessels, and was in the actual
construction of over 100 vessels and
severai river passenger steamers.
Among them the Jenny Lind, 180
feet; the Crescent 200 feet, and the
011urnia, of 260 feet, and one
market.ho'tt steamer. I built one
atilt) of 1,000 tons in ten weeks,
"In 1835 I went to Hawkesbury,
on the Ottawa River, Canada. I
finished and launched a small steam
er .here. I undertook to deliver
her at Point Fortnue, nine miles
down the Long Sault ranids, which
are very rapid and rough. I suc-
ceeded, as. oho had no engine, by
putting cold Taft•oara on each side
and two at each cud—this was con-
sidered a risky affair—to,guide her.
Many eddies in those rapids would
twist her from side to side of the
rapids, until at last we would get to .
the main current, and away she
would do.
"I then laid down two barges and
one steamer for the Rideau Canal
navigation. From this point I
took my wife to New York and
commenced work at my business. I
entered the New York navy -yard
in 1836. I cut down the sloop of
war Natchez and rebuilt her from
the water's edge up. At this period
the United States of America were
going to war with France, but
France concluded to pay the money
to America. This was in Louis
Philippe's [line and peace was pro-
claimed."
SHE STOPPED THE ENGINE.
`Yesterday afternoon as a passen-
ger train on the New York and
New Jersey Railroad entered upon
a straight stretch aline, between
Wood Ridge and Carlstadt, a 16 -
year -old ;ire stepped quickly in
front of the locomotive when it was
aboat 300 yards away from her and
moving very fast. Half a dozen of
her companions watched her breath -
timely from a safe standpoint. .
She was laughing defiantly, fee-
ing the locomotive; standing fairly
between the rails, and the engineer
knew that she was bent upon mis-
chief and not upon suicide. He
made the passengers jump on their
seats with the bloodcurdling whistle
that he sunt out of his engine, but
the girl between the rails snapped
her fingers and danced derisively,
and showed no disposition to get
out of the way.
The engineer had to stop the
train or to run over her. Of the
two evils he choose the one he sup
to bo the least. His fireman did
net agree with him, but there was
no time to argue the point. When
the locomotive was brought to a
standstill its pilot was hardly five
feet from the girl's skirts.
"I told them you'd have to stop,"
she said, "I knew you dare not run
over mo."
Then she laughed and ran after
her companions, leaving the engin-
eer and hie fireman to swear and
make up for lust time.

BALK -LINE POOL.
ANovel Game Which Is Claimed To Ex.

Samuel Warren Childs, the expert New
York cue manipulator who invented rho
new and popular game, balk -line pool, in
describing the game the other day drew
the diagram. which is here reproduced, out-
lining the balk spaces with tailors' chalk
on the green baize.
"The balk litres," he said, "are drawn
fourteen inehes from the cushions, parallel
with the side and end rails,aud from sine to
side 'near the side pockets. It will be ob-
served that this divides the bed of the

one balk space for each object hall. . These
spaces are numbered in consecutive order,
begiuuing at the space in the left upper
corner of the table. Each spice is known
es the `territory' of the hall beating its
namber.
"The lellls hawing been set up in tit's,

game is upeaae1 by a safety break, :cul then
the interest begins. Play is carded on un-
til one player pockets five balls, whiwh con-

the play renders it necessary to reduce the
number of ball) slaking pool from eight to
five. The brills that are oven numbered
must be pocketed in the three pockets
along the right side of the table, and the
cold balls in the three pockets on the left
side. A ball may be • pocketed in the
proper pocket by a straight or 00011r. nation
stroke at the option of the player, provided
he calls the ball before sliceable.
