HISTORICAL PACTS. The tardiness _ with which mankind adopt improvements be, in some degree illus trated by the following facts, hastily thrown together: ,; ~ •- 1 . Canal looks were invented in 1581, by en gineer© of Viterbo, in Italy. TheySwere nearly a hundred years getting fairly into ,n?e in- France, and about 150 years in .crossing the British Channel. > At this time it was made felony, in several European States, to ride in wheel carriages. ’ The steam engine was invented, or, rather the principles of it discovered by Marquis of Winchester, as early as 1600. Few understood and none enconraged if. The honor was after wards engrossed by Savary. In 1786, John Fitch navigated a skiff steam boat at Philadelphia; and in 1787, a steamboat fijty-five fest long at the same place; in 1788, a steamboat sixty feet long, and 1799, another steamboat as a regular passage and packet boat between Philadelphia, Burlington; Trenton, Wilmington and Chester,for several weeks, ad vertising the trips regularly, and running three thousand miles that summer. In 1787, James Ramsey navigated a steamboat at Sheppords town, Virginia, and in 1793, on the Thames,' England. Miller’s, Symington’s, and Taylor’s was navigated on the Clyde, Scotland,'Decem ber, 1788. Sumujsl Morley navigated a steam boat on the Delaware in 1789, and John Cox Stevens, at Hoboken; in 1804' Eighteen steam boats hod been built and navigated in America and England before Robert Fulton’s time,; In 1807, when Robert Pulton was fitting up bis first steamboat at New York, respectable and men pronounced him a./Tfool fur his pains." ’ • c Oliver Evans went before committees of Le gislatures, first in Pennsylvania, and then Maryland, with a project of a steam carriage, as early as 1804. He asked a little aid tVae fray the expense. They could hardly be pre vented from reporting in favor, .not of steam' carriages, but of a straight-jacket-for himself. Now, almost all-nations, have the sagacity and ingenuity to seize and utilize the precious idea. ■ When Peter the Great, in 1760, or therea bouts, commenced a canal between the Volga and the Don, the Governors and'Boyards of the country opposed it earnestly,'thin king it impi ety to turn rivers out of the channels which Heaven had asbigned bent. • When some Dutchmen proposed to make the river slanzanaies navigable to the Tagus, and that to Lisbon, the Council said if it had been the will of God that therivors should be navi gable He woul|l have grade them so. When Brin! ey, the peat engineer, told a cumniltcq of the Parliament, towhom Bridge water's petiticn was referred,, that canals were than ritorvand would supercede them for the purpose of navigation, the committee were shocked, land asked him, '‘And pray, sir, what were .the river’s made for ?” “To feed the canals,” wins the answer. Dr. Franklin surveyed the route of the Dela ware and Chesapeake Canal at his own expense, in 1757. 1. Baron Napier surveyed the route of the Fourth and Clyde Canal at his own expense, in 1701. .1 ' 1 Both of these works were subsequently ac- ( complished, but after great delay. ■ Dr. Zabdiel Boyalston introduced inocula tion for the small pox in Boston, in 1721, and tried it first on his own son Thomas, andiother members of the family; hut such was the; force of prejudice and unbelief that the other phy sicians gave a unanimous opinion against it, the municipal -government prohibited itpprac tioe, and the mob would have torn him to pieces if he had not retired from the city. I EULOGY. HE. LINCOLN ON HENRY CLAY. The following extract from Abraham Lin coln’s eulogy in the death of Henry Clay, is is a touching ; tribute to the memory of that ■ great man; ' “On the 4tl day of July, 1776, the people of l a few feeble'and oppressed colonies of Great Britain, inhat iting a portion of the Atlantic coast.of Nortl America, publicly declared their National Indi pendence, and made their appeal* to the their cause, and to the God of battles, for tin- maintenance of that declaration. That people were few in numbers, and without resources, savje only their -Oviso heads and stout hearts. Will in the first year of that declared independence^and while its maintenance was' yet problematic—while the bloody struggle be tween these resolute rebels and their haughty would-be masters was still waging—of undis tinguished parents, and in an'obscnre district of one of thoqo colonies, Henry Clay was born. The infant najtion and the infant child began the race together. For three-quarters of a century theyj have traveled hand in hand. They have been companions ever. The nation has passed ijts peril, and 1 is free, prosperous, and powerful; The child has reached his man hood, his middle age, hia old age, and is dead. In all that ha* concerned the nation the man ever sympathised, and now the nation mourns for the man. ■ "But do wo realize that Henry. Clay is dead ? Who can resize that never again that majestic form shall rse in the council-chamber of his country, to heat back the storms of anarchy which may, tprealen, or pour the oil of peace upon the trohhled billows as they rage and menace around ? Who can realize that the workings of that mighty mind have ceased— that the throbbings of that gallant heart are stilled—that the mighty sweep of that graceful arm will be felt no more, and the magic-faf that eloquent tonglue, which spake as spake no other t tongue besides, is hushed.—hushed forever? Who can realize that freedom’s champion—the champion of a civilized world, and of all j tongues amllkindreds, and people, has indeed i fallen ? Aluk! in those dark hours of peril 1 and dread which our land has experienced, and ■ which she mily ha called to experience again— I to whom now niay her people look ap for that i counsel and jidyice, which only wisdom and ex perionce and; .patriotism can give, and which j only the undoubted confidence of a nation will “But Henry Clay is eventful life is closed. peroas and powerful; bi quite all that it has bee Henry Clay ?

A few days after, the son of the man of whom Tie bought the oxen came to him and said the oxqn were his. He insisted on having pay ofer again, and commenced a suit before a justice.
