Queen of the Weet), 81 suppose you never
heard of the old Elephant that used to run be-
tween Cincinnati and New Orleans. She was
beauty. suppose that when she was tied to the
bank with ern-line and tOw-line she was ole
Of the fastest boats on the river. She made one
celebrated trip from New Orleans-I think in
1847. Her time was made matter of record.
Comm up from New Orleans once, the captain
was sittin at the table, and he noticed several
big fellows servin' as cabin boys. He called
the steward to him and SEE he: Don't
you think it would look better to have
boys waitin' on the table? l don't Like to see
men film the place of cabin boys. Let em 60
aud get some young chaps.' why, il,
captain says the steward, them fellows were
boys when we left Now Orleans The Elephant"
continued Mr.. Hartshorn, clinging to his nauti-
Cal "reminiscences, "was pulhn' out from Mem
phs one day on down trip, and somehow she
got mixed up with q raft OF saw-logs. She broke
one OF the logs loose, and it. 1oated out in the
stream. The Elephant headed down the river
and finally got alongside the log. Then COM
menced one Of the incest races you ever saw.
There was a good stage OF water, and the log
doomed along lively. For about week they
held together purity vel, but the Elephant had
to land at the mouth of White River, and the log
beat her into New Orleans about twenty minutes.
I hele was something wrong with the Elephants
boilers, and she couldn't make steam properly.
That's what the captain said. She was nice
boat to ship green fruit on, said MIR. Hartshorn.
