The West and the Freight Question

The question of cheap transpOrta-
ton to market for the produce of the
West is one that is constantly dis
cussed and agitated by the people
and the press of that section. The
Nilsson i Republican musteFs a FORM
liable array of States W shed by the
three great rivers of the West, the
Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio, which
number fifteen, being as follows Ar
kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kan
sas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minneso-
ia, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska,
Ohio, Tennessee, West Virginia and
Wisconsin. The aggregate popula-
ton of these States is 1854, ,496, the
aggregate wealth Sl0,Sl9, I70,9l4, and
their aggregate representation in
Congress so Senators and 120 MEM
bers of the House. The Republican
declares that interest so large and
power so formidable should be able to
compel the national Legislature to
improve navigation in such manner
as to afford the needed facilities to
market. 1t says the problem to be
worked out is to secure a minimum
low water depth of five feet in the
Ohio and seven feet in the Mississip-
pi. OF course the scheme, if prac-
ticable, would cost many millions of
dollars. The Republican suggests
that it may be advisable to call a
convention of the States interested,
for the purpose of maturing a meas
ure and deciding upon a plan of ac-

FABLEDO ORIGIN OF THE VINE.

When Bacchus was Young. he
journeyed through Hellas, to Naxia /;
and as the way was very long, he grew
tired and sat down upon stone to
rest. As he sat there, with his eyes
upon the ground, he saw little plant
springing up, between his feet, and
was so much pleased with it that he
demtermined to take it with him to
Naxia. He took it and carried it
away with him; but, as the sun was
very hot, he feared it might wither
before he reached his destination.
He found a birds skeleton, into which
he thrust the plant, and went on. Butin
his hand the plant sprouted sc fast that
1t started the bones above and below.
This gave him fresh fear Of its with
ering, and he cast about for remedy.
He found lions bone, which was
thicker than the birds skeleton, and
he stuck the skeleton, with the plant
in it, into the bone of the lion. Ere
long, however, the plant grew out of
the lions bone likewise. Then he
found the bone of an ass, larger still
than that of the lion, so he put the
lions bone, containing the birds skel-
etOn and the plant, into the ass's bone
and thus made his wsyto Naxia. When
about to set the plant, he fornd that
the roots had entwined themselves
around the birds skeleton, and the
lions bone and the ASS bone; and as
he could not take it out without dam
aging the roots, he planted it as it was,
and it came speedily and bore, to his
great joy, the most delicious grapes.
from which he made the first wine
and gave it to men to drink. But be-
hold miraclel When men drank of
it, they first sang like birds; next, af-
ter drinking a little more, they became
vigorous and gallant like; but when
they drank more still, they began to
behave like asses.

REMINICENCES OF THE TURF.
BY HON. BALE PEYToN.-No. VI.


Uncle Berry, find, arrived in Ten
nessee in the month of February, 1906,
and not in 1909 as stated In previous
number. In the spring of that year
he made match of mile heats, $500 a
side, over the HartsVille Course, with
Henrietta against Cotton's Cygnet,
which he won.
The old men of the neiehborhood
manifested great sympathy for the
young stranger, and predicted that
Lazarus Cotton would ruin him.
This was his first race in Tennessee,
and | witnessed his last, which was
run over the Albion Course at Gala
tin, in 1862
Shortly after the race at Hartsville,
Uncle Berry trained famous quarter
race mare called Sallie Friar, by Jolly
Friar, and made a match for $500 a
side, which was run on Goose Greek,
near the Poison Knob. Sallie was
the winner, and she was afterwards
purchased by Patton Anderson, who
ran her with great success.
In the fall of 1896 Uncle Berry won
with Post Boy, the Jockey Club purse,
three mile heats, at Gallatin, beating
General Jackson's Escape and others.
Escape was the favorite, and the Gen
eral and Mrs jackson, who were pres
ent, backed him freeley. Before this
race he sold Post Boy to Messrs. Rich
ard and VIM. L. Alexander, for 81 900,
in the event of his winning the race,
after which he was withdrawn from
the turf Here he frstmet Gen. Jack
son and made a match with him on
Henrietta against Bibb's mare for
81 ,0il side, two mile heats, equal
weights, though the Generals mare
was two years older than Henrietta,
to come off in the spring of 1851 at
Clover Bottom. The result proved
that Uncle Berry underrated the hors-
es and trainers of the Tennessee turf,
as the Generals mare, thoroughbred
daughter of imported Diomed, won
the race.
The General, though deprived of
the pleasure of being present on that
interesting occasion, (having been sum-
moned as a witness in the trial of
Aaron Burr at Richmond.) showed
that his heart was in the race, as ap-
pears from letter to his friend Pat
ton Anderson, dated June IS, and pub
lished in Parton's Life of Jackson,
from which | quote: AT the race |
hope you will see Mrs. jackson tell
her not to be uneasy. / will be home
as soon as my obedience to the pre-
cept of my country viii permit |
have only to add as to the race, that
mare of Williams is thought here to be
a frst-rate animal of her size but if
she can be put up, she will fail in one
heat. 1t will be then proper to put
her up 10 all she knows at once This
is Jacksonian. Not many men wonld
take the responsibility of giving orders
of how to run race at the distance of
five hundred miles. This error of un-
Gerrating an adversary, especially such
an adversary, was heavy blow to I'm
cls Berry, from which he did not fully
recover until he started Haynie's Ma
ria, mounted by Monkey Simon, against
him.
Not long after this defeat he set out
to search for horse with which to

The Largest Beehive in the World.

In Los Angeles county, California,
on the eastern slope of the San Fer
nando range of mountains, and in
the immediate vicinity OF the Lean
ing Petroleum Company's oil region,
there Is the most wonderful cOllec-
tion of wild honey in existence. The
hive is located in a rift, which pen
etrates the rock to the depth of prob
ably one hundred and sixty feet. The
orifice is thirty feet long and seven
teen feet wide; four passages. This
rift was discovered to be the abiding
place of a swarm of bees, that is rep
resented as coming out in a nearly
solid column one foot in diameter.
Certain parties have endeavored to
descend to the immense store of hon
ey collected by these bees, but were
invariably driven back, and one man
lost his lifein the effort. Others have,
at the expense of much labor and
money, built scaffold lbs #. high,
in the hope of reaching a place
whence they could run q drift into
the rock and extract its well hoard
ed sweets, but finally ceased their
work. Within four years the bees
have added not less than fifteen fl.
of depth to their treasure, ascertain
ed by actual measurement, and it is
thought that at the present time
there cannot be less than eight or
ten tons of honey in the rock.

In view of all these facts, we pro-
pose plan of cooperation, By which
every particle of financial strength, not
otherwise employed. in our commune
ty may be united, and all directed to the
development of manufactures. We
have capitalists among us, who could
do this. But whether they will ornot.
they have the right to do as they please
with their own money If they will
help us, SO much the better; but if
theywill not, we believe it can be shown
that by small capitalists, and each
man who can help little, combining
together, we can initiate the establish
ment of manufactures in this city.
We do not propose a. joint stock COM

require the directing energies and judg-

est at stake. Our plan can be found
fully set forth on the third page of

ANTS IN BRAZIL.-A correspondent
of the Boston Globe, writing from
Brazil, says there is species of ant in
that country whose visits arevery much
to be dreaded, for they come in count
less numbers, frequently taking pos
session and Overrunning a dwelling
when in their track, driving the in
mates therefrom, and destroying every
thing eatable on the premises. " hen
seen approaching they can only be
stopped or the head Of the column
turned by fire; they will succeed in
passing every other barrier. On as
cending the CorcOyardo we discovered
a colony Of them crossing the railway
high up on the mountains. They wero
coming from above, crossing the road
and decending on the other side
They came in column three or four
inches wide, as thick as they could be
packed, and rushing along with great
rapidity. How long they had been
passing before we saw them is of course
unknown, but four hours later the
stream was unabated and seemingly
inexhaustible. We found it impossi-
bic to break the line without its being
Immediately reformed. They seemed
to know by instinct the direction
taken by those passing, and never de-
waited in the slightest from the proper
route. The attempt was also attended
with some Inconvenience if great care
was not taken, for the stream never
stopped it kept pouring down, and in
a very short time you found yourself
surrounded, and in some danger of
being oyerrun if not captured. 1t
is said they will remove the flesh from
the carcass of an OK or horse in few
hours, leaving the bones perfectly
polished.
