SALT R1vER.-Many persons may suppose
the river of this name to be mere imaginary
stream, up which defeated politicians are sent
by sort of figure of speech. Indeed, it is
doubtful whether one in a hundred ever thought
of inquiring into its length, breadth, depth, or
locality. From the description which follows it
is certain that the exile hos not much of jour-
ney to make:
This river, (says Bayard Taylor,) where it
debouches into the Ohio river, is not more than

beautiful. Tall sycamores clothed the bank,
dropping their boughs almost to the water, and
forming vista Of foliage through which the
stream curved out of sight between two wooden
hills. longed to be rowed up it. While On
the spot took occasion to inquire the deriva-
ton of the slang political phrase, "Rowed up
Salt river" and succeeded in discovering it.
Formerly there were extensive salt works on the
river, short distance from its mouth. The la
borers employed in them were set of athletic,
belligerent fellows, who soon became noted far
and wide for their achievements in the pugilis-
tic line. Hence it became a common thing
among the boatr1en on the Ohio, when one of
"We"ll row you up Salt river" when of course
the bully saltmen would have the handling of
him. By natural figure of speech the ex-
preston was applied to political candidates,
