Mississippi Steamboat Racing.

Racing was royal fun. The public al
ways had an idea that racing was danger
Gus; whereas the very opposite was the
case-that is, after the laws were passed
which restricted each boat to just SO
many pounds of steam to the square
inch. No engineer was ever sleepy or
careless when his heart was In a race.
He was constantly on the alert, trying
gauge-cocks and watching things. The
dangerous place was on slow, popular
boats, where the engineers drowsed
around, and allowed chips to get into
the g doctor and shut off the water
supply from the boilers.
In the $ flush times of steamboating
race between two VIGOROUSLY fleet
steamers was an event of vast importance.
The date was set for it several weeks in
advance, and from that time forward the
whole Mississippi valley was in state
of consuming excitement. Politics and
the weather were dropped, and people
talked only Of the coming race. AS the
time approached, the two steamers
stripped" and got ready. Every in
cumbrance that added weight, or ex-
posed a resisting surface to wind or
water, was removed, if the boat could

The First Umbrella in London.

An old English record states that as
early as the middle of the eighteenth
century some enterprising genius intro
duced umbrellas at Oxford and Cam
bridge, letting them out, like sedan
chairs, to the students at SO much per
hour, thus enabling poor young men to
pass from building to building to their
lectures without being drenched by rain.
But people no moro thought of taking
an umbrella about the streets of town
or city, than of taking bed to sleep in,
or stove to warm themselves by, as
they went about their regular business.
The first person who ventured such an
innovation was Jonas Hanway--the same
benevolent old gentleman to whose ex-
ertions England owes the foundation of
its "Marine Society,"" and to whose
memory there is monument In West
minister Abbey. Mr.. Hanway had tray
eled In China and other parts of the East,
where umbrellas were In general use,
and having brought one over with him,
as a sort of curiosity, he at length de-
termined to avail himself of it's protect
i've benefits, and so one day ventured on
the streets of London, holding the
queer-looking apparatus" over his head,
during a heavy rain. Perhaps, if he
had known what shower of ridicrle,
and even abuse, he was provoking, he
would rather have faced the rain. For
groups of men hustled him on the side
walks, and called him mad women from
windows and doors, clapped their hands
and laughed and boys in crowds ran
after him, kissing, hooting, and even
pelting him with stones. But they soon
grew tired of such shameful sport, and
took it quite as matter of course, as
Mr.. Hanway, day after day, walked the
streets, umbrella i'll hand, whether in
rain or sunshine. Occasionally he invit-
ed a friend to share his comfortable
shelter, and all agreed in pronouncing it
very pleasant but so afraid were they
of ridicule, that it was more than three
years after Mr.. Hanway's first expert
ment before another man in London
found courage to own or carry an UNI
brella Jonas Hanway died in 1776, and
for the last thirty years of his Life he
carried an umbrella whenever either sun
or rain rendered one desirable yet the
present century had passed more than its
first decade before the use of umbrellas

possibly do without it. The "spars,
and sometimes even their supporting
derricks, were sent ashore, and no means
left to set the boat afloat in case she got
aground. When the Eclipse and the
A. Z. Shotwen ran their great race
twenty-five years ago, it was said that
pains were taken to scrape the gliding
off the fanciful device which hung be-
tween the Eclipse's chimneys, and that
for that one trip the Captain left off his
gloves and had his head shaved. But /
always doubted these things.
If the boat was known to make her
best speed when drawing 81 feet for
ward and 5 feet aft, she was carefully
loaded to that exact figure she wouldn't
enter dose of homeopathic pills on her
manifest after that. Hardly any passen-
gers were taken, because they not only
add weight but they never will ''trim
boat" They always run to the side
when there is anything to see, whereas a
conscientious and experienced steamboat
man would stick to the center of the
boat and part his hair in the middle with
a spirit level.-MGrE IsUdi1a.

History of the Chorpenning Claim.

Attorney General Pierrepont has rem
dered decision In the celebrated Choir
penning case which, it is hoped, will be
final. The features Of this famous case,
in brief, are as follows: In 1851 the firm
of Chorpenning & Woodward, of Cali
fornia, secured from the government the
contract for carrying the mails from Salt
Lake City to California. This contract
was three times renewed, making the en-
tire term of service nine years. In No
vember, 1851, Woodward was killed by
the Indians, and Chorpenning thereafter
performed the service alone. Under the
various contracts the full amount OF reg
ular pay was, III round numbers, $780,
600, but at various sessions of Congress,
and by various methods, this sum has al
ready been swelled, as additional allow
ance, to no less than $518, 500. Of the
means employed In securing this money
it is not worth while to enter into detail.
It is sufficient to say that the original al
lowances on the contracts were sufficient
to properly fulfill them and have rea-
sonable margin Of profit, and all that has
since been added may be set down as alb
solute gratuity.
Not satisfied with this, Chorpenning
in 1870 renewed his demands, and in
July of that year Congress passed and
the President approved resolution I'M
der which Postmaster General Cresswell
awarded on this already vastly -overpaid
contract the further sum of $S443, 600,
making grand total of nearly million
dollars. The resolution directed the
Postmaster General to investigate and
adjust the claims of George Chorpenning
under the first section of an act for his
relief, approved March 3, 1851" etc.
The act of 1857 referred to peremptorily
instructed the then Postmaster General,
the Hon. Aaron V. Brown, to adjust and
settle, not according to the proofs that
might be had in the matter, but Gas
shown by the proofs and affdavits on file
in the House of Representatives.
When it is considered that the only
proofs and afidavits on file were those
contained in Chorpenning's petition, the
iniquity of the whole proceeding is at
once apparent.
Previous to the passage of the resolu
ton in 1870, Chorpenning had impor-
tuned four successive Postmaster Gener-
ais for reopening of the case, but by
each been refused. The resolution OF
1870 Yves brought before the House for
consideration the last day of the session,
without having been reported, and was
passed during the last hours of the ses-
sion. At the session of 1872, and before
the money had been paid, the resolution
was repealed, but appeared again at the
last session on the private calendar,
bearing the approval of the judiciary
Committee, which had reported bill
giving the Court of Claims jurisdiction
in the matter. The bill failed to become
a law, and the claimant then appealed to
the Attorney General, before whom the
case was argued at length short time
ago, and from whom decision is prom
ised as above stated.

The Virtue of Asparagus.

The Scientific american says /: A
medical correspondent Of an English
journal says that the advantages Of
asparagus are not sufficiently appre-
ciated. Those who suffer with rheuma-
tism are cured in few days by feeding
on this delicious esculent and more
chronic cases are much relieved, espe-
cially if the patient avoids all acids,
whether in food or beverage. The
Jerusalem artichoke has similar effect
in relieving rheumatism. Itmay be well
to remark that most plants which grow
naturally near the seacoast contain more
or less iodine, and in all rheumatic COM
plants iodine has long been favorite
remedy. One who has been In the drug
business told the writer some years ago
that many Of the popular patent nostrums

An Oriental Story.

Once upon O time there was a king who
had beautiful daughter who was much
sought after in marriage, and being fond
of stories, he had proclaimed that who
ever would tell the longest story, should
marry his daughter, but whoever failed
should have his head cut off. When this
became known, crowds of young men
focked to the place, each to tell a story.
One went in and told his story, but it did
not last long, and off went his head.
Then another man went in, but with
like result, and SO on, no one being able
to tell story long enough to satisfy the
old king. The people then became
frightened and for time there were NO
more stories told. At last young man
expressed his determination of trying
his fortune before the king.
His friends tried to dissuade him from
it, but it was of no use he appeared be-
fore the king, who told him it would be
certain death. He began his story thus j:
During the seven years of famine in
Egypt in Joseph's time, there being
nothing in the fields to eat, flock of To-
Gusts came upon small hole in one of
the granaries in which corn was stored !;
it was just large enough for one locust at
time to go in and come out. So locust
went in and got grain of corn then
another locust went in and got another
grain then another locust went in and
got another grain of corn then another
locust went In and got another grain of
corn"
SEQ on with your story" said the
king "we will imagine all that
ooh, no; I cannot go on with my
story until the corn is out"
So he went on
"Then another locust went in and got
another grain of corn" for about three
months. When the king asked him how
much they had got out, he answered:
"About one cubic foot"
The king groaned and the man went on
with his story about three months longer.
The king then asked him if he wasn't
most done. He coolly answered:
"Oh, no; they have got about ten
cubic yards, and they have got to clear
out the seven granaries that it took seven
years to fill. Then another locust went
in and got another grain of corn"
The king here broke down and said:
"Take my daughter, take my king
dom, take my lands, everything I own,
but in the name of the Prophet have
done with those Internal locusts. /"

How to Cure SunstrOke.

I believe sunstroke and apoplexy can
be cured almost surely if taken in any
kind of time.
l. Rub powerfully on the back head
and neck, making horizontal and down
ward movements. This draws blood
away from the front brain and vitalizes
the involuntary nerves.
2. While rubbing call for cold water
Immediately, which apply to the face
and to the hair on the top and side
head.
3. Call for bucket of water as hot as
can be borne and pour it by dipperfuls
on the back head and neck for several
minutes. The effect will be wonderful for
vitalizing the medulla oblongata it Vi
talizes the whole body, and the patient
will generally start up into full conscious
life in very short time.
Last summer / was called in to see a
man on Fourth avenue. / found him in
state of coma, and his wife was agoniz-
ing over him, supposing him to be dead.
He had lain thus for about three hours.
/ had him brought out where he could
get the air, jerked off his clothes, rubbed
his back head and neck powerfully,
slapped his back, legs, and feet briskly,
and called for iced water, which applied
to his front and upper head. then had
bucket of hot water brought, which |
poured On his back head and neck. Be-
fore doing this had noticed some signs
of life on applying the cold water in
front, but after pouring few minutes
he started up, vomited, and exclaimed,
" All right T. spent in all only about
twenty minutes in thus resuscitating
him.
He rose up, put on his clothes with a
little help, and did not lose an hour more
from his business.
Persons Of large, active brains and
weak bodies will be more liable to sun
stroke or apoplexy, and should wear
light-colored, cool hats in summer, wet
the hair occasionally, and if they feel a
brain pressure coming on, should rub
briskly on the back neck, and put
cold water on the front and top head.
THESE remarks, if needed, will prevent
great danger and great suffering, as I
have never known this method to fail
