The line of.:march as previously ar
ranged having been gone over, the pro-

where q stand had been erected for the
speakers, and were addressed by Messrs.
Ross, j. Alexander and DIR. Cook, of
Bridgeport, the Hon. Geo. o. Davenport
and Mr.. John o. Pendleton, of this city,
each of whom made short speeches, and
were enthusiastically received.
Owing to the iDclement weather and q
very severe cold. Col. Wilson was unable
to address the meeting, although he was
present and would have done so out for
the express commands of his physicians.

blsge quietly dispersed, some going to
the depot to take the train for Bellsire

and the West Virginia delegation re-
turning home by way of the Ferry

that has taken place during the cam

of drunken men throughout the town
was decided contrast to the Republican

AN OLD Coup1E.-Dr. Wilkins, of
Paramount, Illinois. recently visited
man and woman in Montgomery County,
Ind, whose ages are respectively 113 and
Ill years, and who have lived together
in the married state eighty-five years.
The name of this ancient couple is
Fruits, and they are the parents Of Mrs.
Thomas Williams, of Catlin Township.
The old man stands up as straight Us
ramrod, and does quite good deal of
work every day. He has always been
moderate liver, and uses no tobacco,
which is an argument against tobacco
users. But his wife has been q steady
smoker for sixty years, which is an ar
gument in favor of tobacco. The old
lady is afflicted with a cancer, which
made its appearance upon her forehead
forty years ago, and which she is now
doctoring with coal-oil. At one time in
her life she weighed 225 pounds, but
gradually shrunk away till she now tips

Steamboating on the Ohio Forty
Years Ago.

In 1886 l was on the steamer Chandler,
Capt. Shallcross. He was superior
officer, and his boat had the discipline
and system of the navy. He always car
ried the creme of the passengers of the
city, the Bluegrass region and of the
Southern planters-A. Throckmorton,
r. J. Ward, Chapman Coleman, Ander-
son Miller, Dock Gait, etc. Those were
good old slow-coach days, Capt. Jackson
and Mr.. Wagner, pilots the Mayberry
brothers, Of Jacksonville, bar-keepers,
now gentlemen of fortune. Capt. Jack
son was tall, fine looking man, and
good pilot. One dark night during
severe thunderstorm, he said to the
Captain, "This is rs good night as 1
want" but in the darkness got into the
mouth of Arkansas River, and went up
several miles before he found it out.
One trip the city OF New Orleans was
full of people, bound up the river, with
several boats in port to contend with.
Capt. Shallcross being the first to leave,
filled his cabins to Overlooking and left
about dark but, in place of going up
the river, ran down about twenty miles
to plantation, took on a lot of sugar
and molasses, the next morning was back
to the city, the other boats all gone and
he with all the passengers.
How Capt. Shallcross raised the river:
There were several stock men i'll the
city going South with horses, mules,
etc. The river was low and several
smaller boats in port. They preferred
the Chandler, but were afraid she would
get aground, as there was no telegraph
in those days, and they had to depend
upon the winds and weather. The Cap
tain thought there would be a rise late
in the evening. He got stick, marked
it, and drove it down in the water, and
one of the stock men laid q rock ut the
edge of the water, and waited for the
result. In the morning the Captain was
out early, and found that the river had
fallen, but he drove the stick down five
or six inches, and put the rock under the
water, got the stock, and went out of
the river without grounding.-Lo"isrille
