THE MARINE RECORD. Captain John Ericsson, tho. noted Invon- tor, has Just colobrntod his eightieth - birth¬ day. It Is remarkable that ho la yot halo nnd hearty and notlvo, pursuing hist studies nnd making his experiments with scarcely any abatement of the old-tlmo ardor and en¬ ergy, devoting twelve hoiiy a day to prao- tloal inventions. Hla resldenco Is nt SO Bcnoh street, New York, and has undergonu no ohnngo in appearanoo since 1804, and In¬ side thortyls tho greatest multiplicity of mod¬ els of tho Inventor's skill. Captain 'Ericsson was born In Sweden, and at the ago of thirteen was put In chargo of a section of ship canal then bclryt constructed. He soon after became an officer In the Swedish army, whoro ho got hts tltlo. In 1820 he wont to England, and there entered his locomotive novolty Into tho competition that made .Ueorgo Stephenson's Rockot-the winner. In 1837 he constructed tho first practical pro- polling vessel, tlio Francis B. Ogdon, and beoauso of the disfavor shown it by tho Brit¬ ish Admiralty he camo to this country In 1830. His first .work was the building of the war ship Princeton, though his greatest AOhlovement was tho Monitor. His tptpedo boat, tho Destroyer, Ib the result of l/lfl latest study, though his last Invention is a sun mo¬ tor. Captnln ErlcBson takes plenty of oxor- cIbo nnd is very tompornto In all things.— inter Ocean. THE INNER HISTORY OF A REMARK- ' ABLE EVENT. Tho recent prize fight between Ryan and Sullivan, while It should receivo tlio om- fihatlc denunciation ol overy law-loving clt- zen, was In many respects n most remarka¬ ble encounter. Although n mero boy, Sulli- van is probably tho most formldnblo pugilist over known Ryan, is also a powerful man but ho eutorod tlio ring suffering terribly from plies and was therefore in no condltjon to fight. Hnd ho used Swnyne's Ointment the result might hnvo been reversed. Wo confess we aro astonished at tho way this remedy removes nil Itching pnln nnd sore¬ ness.
