RPBOIU.B. l''loi>hcrtoD.O«t WrMtn lor Tht Aitanct, KO II America'* Greatest Inventor One day, about a year ago, when worn out with the cares and tioubltsof busi- ness, I left my office (then in New York city) and directing my steps toward Broadway, walking slowing down the great thoroughfare of the metropolis, thinking deeply. Suddenly looking up, my attention was .attracted to quite an ancient looking church oppo<<ite Wall street and Broadway, the most famous streets in America. Enquiring of a policeman near by, ho informed nie th.-it ibis was the Old Trinity Church, the oldest and wealthest in America. "Old Trinity Church 1" "That reminds me ; is not the famous atvaiu boat in- ventor, Robt Fulton, buried there ?'' I asked. He answered us in the affirmative ; and, feeling pleased at the idea of seeing this great man's tomb, quicken- ed my pace, and in less than livo niiuutes stood beside it. Lookirvg down upon that grave, how the heart withm me throbbed with pride, and honest love t» Inn: who lay beneath it 1 There was no monument erected to his memory, but we know that here rests the remains of the great Robert Fulton, our steam boat inyei.tor. Mr. Fulton was bum ill Little liritaiii, Lancaster County, I'enn., in 1775. He was tho oldent hoy and tbiid child of a family of five. His father, a poor Irish farmer, died when Robert was but three years of a^c. Robert obtained a fairly j;ood educ.it ion, anil although a bright scholar, nimiifested t.ut little fondness for books of any kind. Iimlead .of plnyiny about us the otht-r children did, ho would sit down in a corner, all by hmmelf, and 'here, wiih pencil and paper, draw by the hour, perfectly, happy. He showed marked talent in this diroctiou and hIko in puiiit- im;, at the early age of ten. Ho was very fond of WHiideiiiiK iu and out of all the art galleries and studios in tho town, and ill consrqueucuof this very ofien arrived at his teajhor's housijliaif an hourorsolate, which mad* the teacher very angry. Tie teacher declared that RoJiert nesjlocl- ed his studies, and wasted his time, i;o- inu continually to these places, and, bu further said, that it "showed indications of his growing wovthlessneBs." One day tho teiicher saw tit to scold his young pupil about wrong doing, and, failinu to cjiiviiice liim by argument, suJJonly picked up ft ruler from his desk and rspped him sharply over tho knuckles with it. Robert at once becameaii^ry at this treatment and standing up before bis teach'<r, looked him straight in the face and said : "Sir, I came here to have aomeihlni; beat itito my brains, nut my knuckles" Having decided to make art his life study, Mr. Fulton went to I'hlladepbis, al tho ate of 17, where ho remained un til the a;;e of 21. While there he earned enough money buy (or his mother a farm of eighty-four acres, on which ho also built her a home. Assured that she was both conifortabloand happy thoro.lio sail- ed for Enuhind, intendn g to rini>h his studios iva an artist under West, ihi! fam- ous Americ.in .irtist, who resided in Eiighind at the lime. Mr. Wot becnnie greatly attached to his attractive youi!!^ pupil and inviud Mr. Fulton to make his home with him, which he did for ''O'eral years. " When Icaviuij Mr. West's f:»niily Mr. Fulton coiniuenccd a tour for the purpiso of exaininiii;; thu treasures of art cai'tsined in the homes f ;lio English nobiliiy, and remained f*r two years iu Dovoiishiro. WhUe there 1ie uiis fortunate eu'iiigh to niako the iioipisintance of the Duke of Bridgewater, famous for his canals, and also Lord S'aiiliope, a noblouian, iiotod for his love of science and mechanic arts." Fulton and Ijoid Stanhope kept up quite a hn^jlhy corre^pondcncti upon the sub- jects in which ihoy were both so greaMy inioreitted, and many buiiovo that it was be who peisuaded Fulton to give up the idea of lieciiming an art'st and becunio a civil engineer, for that is what he did. After spondinu lime and inoucy un an iiHiit's uducntion, he suddenly changed his mind and wrote to nis mother : " 1 bavu decided that iiiy best work will be ill enL'iiicerinif rather than art," etc. He proved his ability by a number of inven- tions which wero cousidored wi'll worth patonliiiir. Tlio Duke of Bridijewnter u^kcd for his assia'anco in the construc- liou of the bridco known by that noble- men's iiiimo. He (Kultim) also invented a inarHe mill, new ideas for inakiog ropes and the date â€" Friday, Aunust the 4th, 1807, is memorable by thu first real Hucoest in the line of steamtxiats. Many oxperiiiients bad been made upon the use of steam for propelling boats, and the lirst bteiuulsiat which roi\lly puffed Its way i>vor tho waters, was Built and launched on thu Didswinton river in in Scotland, in ihu year 1788, by Jamies Symimton. The famous poet, Burnt, nninbered among the few on board this boat, which went at the rate of live miles an hour, a surpriaini;ly fast rate at that time. Allhouiih Symington pro red that steam could bu used, tho idea was not adoptod and people practically forgot all about it wiihiii a very short time, for wo liiid tlnit it was not again tried success- fully until Robert Fulton demonstrated that sioam navigation c<.u1d be made a curtainity. If we had been living at that time we would pmhidily have, one morning, while sittiiiK over the bronk- fast table glancing down the cotumi of tho New York Sun, read : '-People wishing to po to .Xlliany may take passagu in the Clermont, which will loaru the foot of Cortlandsi, on the Hudson,, tS'dajr, August ' the fourth." Of conrae this notice attrncted great attention, Jjong bofnro th» hour for sailing arrived Ihnusanda gathered at the warf to laugh and joke at what they crowd, where, waved, greeted called "Fultou'a folly," fully expecting that this new iuv eution would prure » failu'e. Great was theexcitemenl every- "Uitts and handkerchiefs were great bIiooLs of praise the captain, crew, and passenirers, for the Clereniont was a success, steam navaiiation was a reality, and Robert Fulton was a great man." Truly â€" " he who laughs laal laughs loudest" In thirty-two hours, against wind and tide, she reached Albaiiy.while the return trip took but thirty bonis. The sieara "monster," as she was called from that time, "made r»gul;ir trips between New Yolk and All>aiiy as a pucliet bo it." Fulton built many other ateaiiiboats after this, two of which wrre precisely alike and known an the "twin.'." They called Fulton a fool, but he wiaely paid no atteuiiou to ihni<e.reiuarks but walked around^ the "Cleremont," which, though it " »as a rude affair with uncovered paddle r. heels and c unisy inachiDury," luado tho invuntor very proud At list the hour for sailing approached and the ureatest exciieinent appeared on all sides, for many h id never even .seen a steam engine before When the wliiailo blew, and "all aboard 1' was shouted, it was found that but twelve persons had taken pastaige, for most of the peoplt: thought that they miviht us well jump in- to the river at once as to lisk their lives in a boat which really had a tiie er.gine iiiHide of it. Watching breatl.loRS, ihe people 'jn land saw the CUrenioiit move slowly out into the steam. "She moves! she moves!" shouted tho nstoni.shed Tho "Suvannab," the fir«t ocean steam- si dp, crossed the Atlauiic. " .\s with Wtiitney, Fulton no sooner completed his snccess ihuii dishonest men tried to reap for thcmse'.vcs the rewind of his loni! labor. While on his wiy to Trenton, N. J., in January, 1S1."», "euinmoncd there .is a witness in one of his Ion;; .series of lawsuits," he cnuijht a severe cold which resulted in his de.itli on the 24th of February, of the samp yeur when be was but tifiy years old, and in the midst of bia great successes ' He was ati extremely popular man and his death "called fourth general mourning thiougli- out the land of which ho bad always ) ^tn so proud, and mie of its most useful men and inventors." A widow, three daughters and a sou survived liini." By terms of Ins will he beijueathcd to bis wife an income i-f $0(XX) \ a year ai d $.^U0 lo each of his children until llicy were twelve years of ate, after which they wero to recfive ?1000 a year until they should attain the age of twenty one." Mr. Fulton was tall and very hand- some ; extremely winning and |>>lialied in Ins mannrrs, and it is belicvud- that "no niechanic ever had so earneiit a public Kpirit as Robert rultoii." And here I stand beside this great man's xrave. Ain I in a difain ? F-ir suddenly I hear the cable car tly p-oit.and warns mo to return to roalKfe. FRANK.
