return of an excursion party from

Toledo the steward was approached
by an excited individual VINO asked
him II he was the Captain. The
steward replied In the negative, at the
same time giving his rank. "Have
you the power to put u man out OF the

"Well, yes, II he's disorierly have"
replied the steward. "Well, sir, look

the stranger, leading the official
around to the door. The steward
looked In upon the motley group,
and replied that he saw nsthing out

SURVEY OF THE CUMBERI.AND ID.
The Work TO Commence this Week

A few days since we stated that
preliminary steps had been taken to
have a thorough survey of the Cum
berland river, with the view of ascer-
tanning the nature of existing obstruc-
tions to navigation, and what appro-
priations would be necessary to re-
move the same. Since then parties
having the matter In charge have
been vlgilently at work. Pending
negotiations for suitable boat at
Nashville have been, we learn, about
perfected. Col. Ebert, who will STU
pervise the survey, under instructions
from Gen. Weitzel, IL now In Louis
vile, but writes that he will be here
this week. Mr.. Frank HeluOr, form
erly an engineer on the Nashville &
Northwestern Railroad, has been ap-
pointed one Of the Assistant Survey
ors. A force of twenty-one hands has
been::organized, and most of the equip
ments and articles essential to the
outfit have been procured. Thorough
ly equipped and provided with all the
necessaries, the party will commence
the survey during the present week,
and continue their labors until the
river from this place to its mouth be
examined. This done, q survey OF
the Upper Cumberland will be made,
and 1t Is thought that the work will
be done I'm time IN report the result
to the next session Of Congress.

TO A LITTLE FRIEND.


Thou nrt as n flower half blown; rose
Whose budding beauty opes In summers
a lovely flower. whose heart doth enclose
a A sleeping sweetness which isyet unborn.
When ballny spring shall cease to paint
thee more,
With hues rs rosy as her morning light;
Thy summers sun in radiant beams will
A charm upon thee, beautiful and bright.
Thy spring and summer soon shall pass
away;
And "golden thoughts" be treasured up
by thee:
Around thy heart they'll linger like the
day
When twilight casts Its glory on the lea.
Autumn will come and find thee still the
same;
No shade shnll fall upon thy spirits
shrine:
The winters gloom shall be but rs a name
And cast no shadow on thy heart divine

A chapter OF Fatal Accidents.

We copy the following sad news
from the st. Joseph Gazette Of the
31st ult.
One day last week a widow with
four children, who live near Linden,
Carroll county, took her children and
went to creek nea by to do some
washing. After being thus engaged for
short time, her dog began to bark u
short way of, which attracted the
attention of two Of her children
boys who went To see what the dog
had found. They found him at the
entrance Of hollow log. and conclud-
ed he had run rabbit In there, and
one of the boys put his hand into the
hole, when n large rattlesnake bit
him twice on the hand, the second
time hanging fast, so that the boy
drew IL out, when the other boy Crap
Piled the snake to pull II of, and 1t
turned and bit him five times. The
mother being attracted by the cries Of
the boys, went To their assistance,
leaving a small child near where she
was awoke, and when she returned
she found 1t had crept 10 the wash
tub, fallen in, and was drowned. The
mother u reported 10 10 have become
"A raving maniac.

Under this caption the Portsmouth,
New Hampshire, Chronicle has the
following sensible article:
ait is often remarked by persons
who do not possess any property, and
who depend upon their daily labor
for support Of themselves and fami-
lies, that they are worth nothing,
financially speaking. This language
Is generally indulged in by men IN
the community who style themselves
business men. Let us examine the
question financially, and see IL their
assertions are correct.
Last year the price of common
labor averaged one dollar and half
per day. Admitting that the laborer
received one dollar and a half per day,
and 1t required the whole of that sum
to support his family, nevertheless
we contend that the laborer was worth
In cash to his family the sum of 81, $50.
Tho amount he would receive for
one years labor at one dollar and a
halfp day would be S+75 60, which
amount would be the interest ut D per
cent. on $3.50, which latter sum
would be the cash value OF the labor
ing man to his family.
1.-THE cash value of the laboring
man to the community Is much more
than the above named sum, as labor
Is the only true wealth to any coun-
try. Without labor our forges, furna-
ces, wOolen mills, and indeed manu-
factories of all kinds, would cease 10
be. The music of the loom and shut
tie would be silenced forever. Our
national and other banks would close
their doors, and our most enterpris-
ing merchants take in their signs.--
Without labor civilization would re-
cede, and the bat and owl would soon
occupy the crimson chambers of our
would-be business men.
"Let the laboring men of the Uni
ted States realize their true position.
Let them reflect that labor Is honor
able, that labor Is wealth. Let them
remember that they are power II,
the State; that to them this great
government is indebted for all It pos.
esses Of liberty, glory and grandeur.
"Let them only reflect that labor Is
honorable; but let those who look
down OH the humble laborer and me-
chanic reflect for one moment before
they speak in terms of ofdisparagement
Of the 'hewers of wood and drawers
of water The custom Is too preva-
lent In the community of making re-
marks In sneering manner of the
great industrial class of our people,
leading youth among us to think that
honest industry Is not honorable, be
it what 1t may. That time has pass
ed.
"Honest, industrious mechanics
and laborers are the wealth of States,
and, until they are encouraged and
fostered, our people cannot be pros
porous. 1t is not the cash value alone
by which he enrlches the place ot
his residence, but he adds by his la
Dor t0 Its material wealth; no country
or nation that commands the respect
of the world, but what that respect
was gained through the skill Of her
mechanical population. Then let all
classes, more especially the rich, re-
spect and inculcate their children
with the true theory oflife, and labor
Is honorable, and II, In after life, mis-
fortune should overtake them, willing
hands will be put forth t0 earn their
support.

A Watch Lost During the War RecOv
cred by its owner fn u Game Of
From the Kansas Journal. 2sth.l

From the Kansas Journal, 2sth.l
Many strange and romantic occur
rences are now being brought to light
connected with the late war. One OF
the most remarkable Is the follow
ing, which took place in saloon on
the Levee yesterday.
A green looking Missourian from
Clay county was introduced by the
usual means employed by the pro-
fessionals, to take little game of
poker. His pis-a-Uis In the little
game, was an ex-jayhawker from
Kansas, or what we should call now
Il robber or horse thief. Fortune fa-
vored not the red-leg in the game, for
luck or science gave game after game
TO the Missourian. At last the jay
hawker put up his last stake for a
venture-a fine silver watch and
chain. This, like all the preceding
games, was won by the countryman.
Taking up the watch he observed a
familiar look about IL that puzzled
him; opening the case he read his own
name engraved upon the case. He
now recognized the watch rs one
taken from his wife In 1852 by q party
OF Kansas men who robbed his house
while he was away; on calling the
attention of the jawhawker to the
fact, he acknowledged being with the
raidlng party who visited the Mis-
sourian's house. Although he lost a
good watch, he said he was glad 1t
had at last found the pocket of its
rightful owner. Thus again has evil
means been employed TO do an act OF
justice in this strange involuntary act
OF restitution OF stolen property.

Some Facts About Iron.

In 1915 the protective duty on Eng
lish iron was removed, against the
cry OF ruin from scandinavian iron.
The result has been that the English
iron-manufacturer has been continu-
ally prosperous making, under free
trade, more fortunes than any other
pursuit. Its production has increased
from ,500,OO0t 5000, 900 tons. In IS40
the production 0fpig.iron In the Uni
ted States was $4,000, 900 tons, and In
Scotland 24l 900 tons During the
last twenty years Scotch iron has had
no protection, while American iron
has been favored by u high duty,
eliminating in 50 per ton for several
years past. The result Is that Scotch
production has increased to 1851 ,00O
42S per cent-while under our enor
nous protection American production
has increased TO 4 ,ii7,77I tons year,
or Az per cent.
In View Of these facts, the Cincin-
natl Times very pertinently enquiries
whether these facts make il clear
that high duties at all are necessary
Ia save capital from beggary and la
bOr from starvation,
