Ok TIE MISSISSIPPI, Or Is

I'D. JOURNAL: MS beautiful
Sabbath morning finds your most
obedlent' aboard the Chancellor,
quietly floating down the Missis-
sippi. On The east we can view
the soil of Tennessee, and on the
west that OF Arkansas. Our trip
thus far has been one of much in
terest to one who has been born
and reared way back We
have been deprived of some of
the pleasures of the trip on ac-
count of travelling after night
some ofthe way.
We left indianapolis just at
night and consequently did not
get to see anv OF the country till
we reached Nation, Ill. We
passed through some very beau
tiful prairie, it is true, but most
OF the land seems barren and
poor; what timber there is is
white oak, and low and scrubby.
About 30 miles north of Cairo
the country is broken and i'm
mense cliffs of rock appear thro'
the the thin forest like the ruins
OF some ancient castle.
We reached Cairo after night
and were marched aboard the
boat and went to Columbus that
night, and did not get to see the
town ct all. Yesterday morning
we awoke at Columbus and soon
started. Here we heave out on
to the waters of the grand Missis-
sippi. Seated upon the hurri-
cane deck, we gave our vision a
rare treat: The immense sand
bars with wild birds of various
kinds fitting about them, and the
banks fringed on either side, as
far as the eye can reach, with
groves of cotton wood bushes,
with an occasional log hut and
corn.patch on the bank, was truly
feast for those that fancy the
curious.
During our trip we passed Is
land No. 10. There are nc
marks of distinction within the
island itself, yet the wrecks Of
vessels near by in the river
plainly indicate ITS fame. Our
earthw orks for defense is to be
seen on the Eastern, or rather
Southern bank, as the river
makes IA bend Northwardly al
this place. AT New Madric
there seemed to be a regimen
stationed, who stood upon the
bank and cheered us on vocife.-
ously. We passed on to Island
No. 20, where we ran ashore aac
stayed till this morning.
This morning the boat had run
aground till the boys had tc
mostly all set off before she
could start. We enjoyed thi:
much. We went ashore and
made footprints and wrote oul
names in the sands of Arkansas
There are still a good manv ca,
ses OF measles and mumps with
us, but the boys that are sick are
in the cabin and we'll cared for
We will doubtless reach Mem.
phIs to-day. We do not get any
army news on the boat. The
10th Indiana regiment is goinl
down Just before us. We know
not how the weather is up in ole
Randolph, but here it is pleasant
The breeze is as balmv and milo
as it is commonly the first Of
May in Randolph. | am per.

5. A seam thus formed is more elastic than
any other made by n sewing machine, and is
consequently very valuable in all goods that are
to be washed and stretched under the iron.
6. The machine is adapted to all varieties of
fabrics, serving each equally WELL and requiring

9. The machine is so simple that an intelli-
gent child Of ten years can readily learn to ope-
