Truth STRANGER THAI FICrIoN.-A few
days since, in conversation with Capt. Alex
amber Scott, one of til pioneers in the steam
boat business of the West, he gave us the
following facts, which illustrated the adage
that " truth is stranger than fiction ;" In
November, 1927, he was descending the
Mississippi in command Of the steamer
America, laden with a valuable cargo Of to-
bacco, lead, and furs-the latter article alone
worth $4,000. When near Plumb Point
the steamer struck a snag, and sum- in deem
water. The furs were for the most part re
covered but the boat, with the rest of the
cargo, was abandoned as a total loss. Years
passed, and the remembrance Of the Ameri-
cas- fate had faded from the recollection OF
all, except, perhaps, that venerable indiyidu-
al, the 'oldest inhahitant." Iii we'll known
that the current of the Mississippi frequent
ly changes, SO that what was once the chan.
mel Of that noble streaal afterwards became
terra frma, susceptible of cultivation. This
was the case with the site of the America
wreck. The channel near Plumb Point be
came an island, on which, for eight wears
luxuriant crops of Indian corn we're raised
but recently the hayward current OF the
Father Of Waters took another turn, AM
commenced washing away the earthly for
nation, until the America was again exposed
to the light of day. The lead in her hall. i

will be slightly the worse for wet. She MA.

WOMEN AND WlNE.-The following pas
sage, says the Prohibitionist, from the pen of
the celebrated Goblet, displays the vigorous
good sense which almost invariably marked
his writings. The question deserves serious
consideration by both men and women-DO
sots F" deserre the tdir!2'
ga man that cannot pass an evening with
out drink, merits the name of a sot. WHY
should there be drink for the purpose of car
rying on conversation? Women stand in no
need of drink to stimulate them to converse;
and | have a thousand times admired their
patience in sitting quietly at theirwcrk, while
their husbands are engaged in the same room.
with bottles and glasses before them, think
ing nothing of the expense, and still less of
the shame, which the distinction reflects up
on them. We have to thank the women for
many things, and particularly for their sober
habits. Men drive them from the table, as
if they said to them, You have had enough:
food is sufficient for you but we must re-
main to fill ourselves with drink, and to talk
in language which your ears ought not to
endure
When women are getting up to retire from
the table, men rise in honor of them, but
they take special care not to follow their ex-
cellent example. That which is not fit to be
uttered before woman, is not fit to be utter
ed at all and it is next to a proclamation
tolerating drunkness and indecency. to send
women from the table the moment they have
swallowed their food. The practice has been
ascribed to a desire to leave them to them
selves. But why should they be left to them
selves? Their conversation is always the
most lively, while their persons generally are
the most agreeable objects. No the plain
truth is, that it is the love Of the drink that
sends women from the table and it is a
practice which have always abhored. like
to see young men, especially. follow them
out Of the room, and prefer their company
to that of the sots who are left behind"
