An American paper, in noticing a new steam boat, says : —" When loaded she will draw less than a foot of water; Tn case the * river becomes perfectly dry, she will run on a heavy dew, or by aid of a wet sponge secured on her bottom." This is one of the stories revived upon George Francis Train since his voluntary incarceration in the New York Las tile, as he is fond of calling the noisome Tombd. Train attended, not long ago, the Jockey Club races at Jerome Park, and laid wagers, during the whole week, on the wrong horses. At the close of the last day, having had hia usual ill-luck, he exclaimed, in a loud tone of voice—"l'll bet 100 dollars that I'm the greatest fool of the native-born specimens, that this republic can show to-day !" An entire' stranger, only a few feet oft', drew forth his pocket-book and Raid, " I don't know wl\u yoti are ; but I'll cover your pile, unless you should happen to be George Francis Train."
