three or four blunders in his speech, one OF
them being grave, and the others only lu-
dicrous. He spoke, for instance. with I'M

whom Tilton was prosecuting, and turned
to apostroDhise Mrs. Tilton. The dramatic
effect of the apostrophe was somewhat spoiIt

THE HERoIsp OF A MISSISSIPPI BoATMAN--
THE STORY AS TOLD BY A COMPANION.
A "Boatman" sends the following to the
st. Louis Democrat: ats glorious death
to die a trying" was uttered by Western
bostman, one who dared as much as many
whose names have become immortal. John
johnson was only a Seel-bostmaD, born in
Giles county, Tenn. Poverty and inclina-
ton drove him to keel-boatiDg. During
the spring of 1878 he and the writer of this
sketch were engaged in keel-boating on the
Big Black river. About the last of May
the boating season ended, and we were pre-
uarinp TO start for Tennessee river, when
| the steamer Ben. Sherrod came down and
| landed at Grand Gulf. We went on her, as
we knew all hands, and she was 10 return
/ to the Tennessee. While we were in New
Orleans we hired as deck-hands on her.
We had but one trunk IN common,

ings,i some $500, and our clothing,
The Ben. Sherrod left New Or
leans with over 400 passengers, and pro-
ceeded on her trip. WOoding 10 Raccounsee
bend, we took on forty cords OF dry willow
wood. This was piled in the usual way,
along side and close to the boilers. John
ston and L went off watch at II O'Clock
at night, and lay out on the guard, as the
inside of the boat was very warm. About
O'Clock we were aroused by the cry OF ire,
and found the smoke suffocating. In a
few seconds the after guards were
crowded with deck passengers, and In
a few minutes the flames burst
through the roof, and we saw that the pilot
had lost all control of the boat and she was
circling around. Occasionally as the boat
swung round near the shore, passengers
would Jump overheard, and very soon the
lower guard was comparatively empty. "A
passenger on the upper guard swung two
children, about four and six years old, down
by the arms, and begged, for Gods sake, fol
some one to take them while he went back
for his wife ard youngest child. Johnston
took them. The father went back and never
returned. L began to consider that it was about
time to get away, and said to Johnston, "Lei
us get our trunk away and save it," His
answer was, "Save the devil! If we save
ANYTHING il must be the children" replied
that did not believe we could, but thought
it might be fatal to us. He said, with ar

HE REMEMBERED THEM.

A "REMINISCENCES OF COL. SCOTT OF THE PENN
sYLvANIA RAILROAD HB DOESN'T FOR
GET HIS FRIENDS.
TIE Peoria GILL; Democrat gives the fol-
lowing story connected with the early life OF
Col. Tom Scott: Speaking of Mr.. Scott,
calls to mind an incident in regard to him
which we do not remember ever to have
seen in print. Years ago, the great railroad
king. who to-day has more real power than
the Queen of England, was an awkward
boy in Adams county, Pennsylvania, the
great peach growing section of which the
historic borough of Gettysburg is the CEN
ter. When about fifteen or sixteen years
old, Scott obtained the position of clerk
in the store of Mr.. Arnold, a we'll known
citizen of Gettysburg who, with his esti-
mable lady, was living q few years ago.
The store was like great many others in
Pennsylvania country towns. and from its
counters almost every article OF household
use was sold to customers. Ready made
clothing and clothes for mems wear, were
made speciality, however, and the future
millionaire was for several years engaged
in pursuading the Adams county farmers
that "that coat fits like the paper on the
WALL" MIR. Arnold soon left most of the
business OF the store in "Tommy's" hands,
and to occupy his own time in establishing
savings bank, which for many years was
an institution of that quiet town. Possibly
Scott obtained from Mr.. A. his first ideas of
financial matters. He has proven an apt
pupil. Gradually Scott grew into wisdom
and literature and finally, one day, he told
his employer that he thought he was fitted
for better things than a clerkship. Mr..
Arnold, though sorry to loose him, was an
honorable man, and instead of.
THROWING OBSTACLES IN HIS PATH
gave him every assistance in his power.
Scott left the quiet borough, therefore, and
was soon in the strife of business in Bslti-
more. OF subsequent career, almost every
one is aware, but TO his honor be it spoken
he never forgot Mr.. or Mrs. Arnold, but
constantly kept them advised of his move
ments, and never failed to express love and
reverence for them. 1t was IN the early
ssixties," if 1 remember Alright, that large
| box was received at Mr.. Arnold's store, the
express company being very anxious ab0u;
| its safe delivery, Opening it there was
found beautiful tea service of solid silver,
on the tray of which there was an inscrip-
ton something like this, "To my early and
faithful friends with the love and respect
of Thomas A. Scott, Philadelphia" The
worthy couple, as may well be imagined,
were delighted at this elegant mark OF
remembrance and esteem, and often
pointed with pride to the shining memento
of kindness done long ago. The writer can
| vOueh for the above "Reminiscences, since
more than once he has received, at Mrs.
Arnold's hospitable table, a cup of fragrant
Souchong, poured from the tea pot in Ques-
ton. Mr.. Scott has had many hard things
written and spoken against him. We are
not sorry to be able to record something to
his credit.

PROFITABLE BABIES.

QUEER PROPOSITION TO SECURE THE PER-
PETUATIoN OF THE FAMILY NAME-THE
ONE RAISING THE GREATEST NUMBER OF
CHILDREN TO HAVE A FORTUNE.
The Waverly Qowa) Republican tells how
w. w. Bailey of that place has fallen heir
to 100000 by the death of his uncle,
Joshua Bsily, of Cohoes Falls, New York:
Joshua Baily, the deceased uncle, spent a
long and busy life at Cohoes Falls, New,
York, where he amassed princely fortune,
and died on the 18th of January, at the ripe
age of 81 years, from the effect of cancer
in the eye He had but one child, son,
ct whose majority the old gentleman gave
$50 900. A few weeks afterward the young
man died, leaving Joshua Bailey childless.
He adopted an orphan girl, and at her mar
riage gave her $40, coo, and check Of S., 900
to tak@ trip 10 Europe. He, ha6 one
brother who had three sons, of whom w.
W. Bailey is one-and to his brothers. chill
dren he said he would will his property,
and to the one raising the largest number OF
boys two-thirds of it in order that the name
might be preserved. 1t was w. w. Bailey's
good fortune to have five sons; in conse-
quence, he receiver according to the
will, two-thirds 70 the estate which
is valued at ss,OOO,OOO. The prop
erty consists of houses, lands, bauk
stock and government bonds, and all located
at Cohoes Falls, n. Y. Among other prop
erty a residence worth S75 600. W. W.
Bailey, adds the Republican, has been a
resident of our city for ten years. He has
followed painting for living, or doing any
other job he conld find. He has been an
industrious and quiet citizen, aud highly res
pected for his many good traits of head and
heart. He has a little home nea- the depot,
which is about all the property he owns.
His large family of boys has kept him
busy 10 feed, clothe, and educate them, but
he has worked faithfully and earnestly to
do so. We are glad that the large legacy
has fallen to so worthy and Kind hearted
man as Mr.. Bailey is. He is a man Of good
habits and enterprising disposition, and we
congratulate him on his good fortune.
