ST. LOUIS, March 80. 1874.
R,rer Editor RepubIican-One of your correspond
ents seems think it strange that steamboat boilers
should bow up Whenever the Ohio is at flood gate
and the Tennessee and Cumberland rise. Well
there is nothing to me in it, Every body knows
that the Tennessee and Cumberland through a
limestone country. and their water is limestone
fluid, Ieayln heaVy limestone sediment,
while the Ohio water has a clay SEDIMENT e
two combined make a putty-hke paste which
be roasted into thick tough state at the bottom
steamboat boilers in very short time. After sGch
slate has formed inside the boiler, the fire viii easily
burn up the iron. and when the iron is burnt through
your boiler explodes in the most approved style.
Depend it that is the of all those explosions
in food time of the Ohio and if official nvestiga-
ton nlide the Crescent City will be found have
exploded from that Moral Cleaa your boilers
out alwa after running three hundred miles when
ever the Ohio is rise, and you won't explode
them Yours, respectfully,

entertained that they will weather this rise without
further damage. Many of the plantations have re.
sumed work again.
