Ihe Stapoato.

ATcHAFALAYA CuRRENcY-Captan Shallcross. of
the Mississippi steamer Peytona, is ofthe crack
captains of the river. Evrybody knows him and he
knows evrybody, and therefore We must tell little
story about him One day when the Peytona was
steaming down, past the cotton woods, towards New
Orleans, she was hailed by another boat going up
"Hallo! Captain Shallcross."
Halo! was the answer.
"Got any Achafalaya money!"
Yes plenty"
"WelI, pay it out; the banks busted ora gwine
cay, ay," said Captain Shallcross. "Clerk have
you got much of that money!"
About thousand dollars, recon sir, said the
clerk of the Peytona.
"Well stop at the first wood boat" And the
Peytona pulled on until wood boat was seen moor
ed to the Shore with piles of cord wood around and
a small man with his trowsers rolled up and his
hands in his pockets, shivering the bank beside
the boat in the chill December weather.
Wood boat ahoy y sang out Capt. Shallcross.
Small man in the distance. "Hallo!"
Want to sell that wood?"
Small man in the distance, eyes"
"Take Atcha:alaya money!"
Small man in the distance, Eyes"
"Round to, pilot" said Capt Shallcross.
The boats bound down stream always have to come
around, with their bows pointed up the stream, to
resist the current of the Mssssipp sometimes they
encounter big eddy and have to take a sweep of
some miles before reaching the landing place. So
it was in this instance
SO you'll take Atchafalaya money for wood, will
you?' said the captain, as the boat approached the
shore.
"Yes," said the small man.
I" How will you take it?'' said Captain Shallcross
(meaning at what rate).
"Take it even," said the small man.
What do you mean by even?"
Cord for cord, Captain"
Put her round again, pilot, said Capt. Shallcross
