IS On the Beach at Long Branch.''

The girls at Long Branch are like the girls
of the world in general They are slightly
mixed. Some are lovely, but some are, on
the contrary, quite the reverse. There's
more hair down here than would cover the
heads of all the women in New York, and
powder and paint enough to make the
houses Of Jersey City glisten again.
Did you ever see thin girl take a bath in
the surf and come out with her bathing
dress sticking tight to her, like a poor
woman's plaster9
Funny, wasn'tit!
Well, it's nothing compared to a
fat girl in the, same posish: l do
think, of all the cOmical sights in
the wide world, the funniest is fat girl
when she comes out of the surf. I've seen
puppy dogs with blue ribbons on their tails,
and neatly embroidered flannel shirts on
their dear little necks, and I've seen Horace
Greeley at party, but they are as nOught,
and the dust in the balance alongside of a
wet fat woman in her bathing clothes.
don't think men look any better, but we
don't expect grace and beauty in our sex, and
can stand the sight. If you are very much
in love with girl, and want to break the
spell, take her to the Branch and see her in
her surf toggery.
If that don't knock the spooney out of
you, you'd better marry her and call it
square.-COaresponden Of the Nev York

The First Boat Question.

We find in the Vicksburg Times COM
munication from "Old Settler" correcting
the statement made some time since in the
Appeal: He says that the first steamboat
that descended the Mississippi was the New
Orleans; that she reached New Orleans
in December, 1911; that the next was the
Vesuvius and then the IEtna. The writer fnr-
ther asserts that the steamboat Washington
reached Natchez in September, 1917, and
that the story recited by the Appea! about
the fright to which Shawneetown was sub
Jected is wholly imaginary. In reply
to these allegations of =" An Old Settler
of Vicksburg, our informant says that he
gave the facts as he recollects them. lie Is
very old and does not deny the possibility
of mistakes about events whlcl! occurred
nearly sixty years ago. Referring to the
letter in the Vicksburg paper, our aged cor
respondent says:
t1Old Times comes back at ''Old Settler
in the appeal, after the following order:
Shortly after the great race between the
steamers r. L. Lee and Natchez, in CONVEX
satiOn with an editor Of the appeal, L gave
him some information in regard to early
steamboating, in which l stated that the
first steamboat that descended the Ohio was
the Pennsylvania. / saw an article in the
Vicksburg Herald somewhat severely com
menting on my statement. If such is the
fact, it was a very general error fortytwO
years ago, at which time first descended
this river. 1t was then common subject
of conversation. Whether the Pennsylva-
MIA went TO New Orleans or not, can not
say. was acquainted with a Man in Tus-
oumbia, Alabama, III 1923, named John Il.
Smelly, whom have frequently heard tell
of the fright at ShawneetOwn, Occasioned
by the descent of that boat in connection
with the earthquakes. | once owned an
old "Narigator of the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers" published in 1896, in which an
elaborate account of the descent of the
Pennsylvania and the earthquakes was
given, and cannot think, be mistaken as
to the year 1913. The steamer New Orleans
was at the port in the winter of lSl4-l5,
and served General jackson well, but am
very certain she only arrived that season;
therefore the cold correspondent of the
Herald has been set back some two or three
years. But it is a very small matter, and
can easily be corrected by any one who will
give himself the trouble OF consulting an
early edition of the Navigator
OLD TIMES.
