Seats at the Murphy meeting ran
a good deal above par Monday night,
caused by the demand heing largely
in excess of the supply; yet, "Col."
A. G.. Armstrong, the competent and
~gentiemanly usher, managed, by
crowding the ~aisles, to find comforta-
BILE seats for all the ladies', while u
good many gentlemen had to stand
up during the whole meeting. Good
order was maintained throughout the
entire meeting, which speaks we'll for
the city authorities. After the regu-
lar routine of business was disposed OF.
DIR. c. B. Fetter made bis appear
aace and sang a bass solo in magni6
cent style, possessing a voice Of deep
power and tone. His singing Was a
success in every particular. Miss
Cora Woodlan was next introduced,
and gave a recitation-suhjtct,
warden, Keep & Place for Me-"
1t Was recited in a manner and spirit
that showed she was thoroughly con.
versant with the sentiment and power
her piece contained. Miss Wo"dlan
was followed by a duet by Miss Davis
and Prof. entry of Hardin College,
accompanied Ivy Miss Baird. These
parties are masters in music and
song; hence, our commentators
would add nothing to their reputa-
ton. They are always heartily wei
coined by a Murphy audience. Then
followed a recitation by Miss LYDIA
Brooks, which was we'll rendered.
Miss Brooks understood the sentiment
contained in the piece to perfection.
Both Miss Wooailan and Miss Brooks
reflect great credit on their teacher
of eloculion, Miss Bobbrtt, of Har-
din College. BY request Elder E.
b Cake sang a song, which was
done with a power and strength that
made puffs of dust fly from the cracks
in the gallery and partition walls of
the Opera House. There is moi one
man in a thousand who can sing with
the power, force and feeling that Ell
der Cake can. After the song the
address Of the evening was delivered
by Elder Cake. In point of logic,
reason, force and power it was I'M
surpassed by any of the speeches of
the winter.

Salt River.

To the Editor of the Mexico Ledger.
VANDALIA. Mo, Jan. 18-What
is the meaning of the word "Salt
River?' W. hear much of this clas-
sic stream about election time, and
would like to be posted
SUBSCRIBER
The answer to your question opens
up a very interesting bit Of Ohio river
pioneer history. Professor Schelle De
We're gives the origin of the phrase in
his book called 'Amerlcanisms; The
English of the New Wor'd.' Before
the day Of steam all navigation of the
Ohio river was carried on by fat
boats and keel boats. 1t was necrs-
sary to row the keel-boats up stream
The labor was painful and exhaust
ing. There were slaves all along the
Kentucky side of the river in those
days. When a negro had been re-
fractory or sassy it was the GUS
tom to punish him by hiring him out
to row keel-boats up the river. This
punishment was called growing up
In time 1t became the popular slave
term for a scolling or punishment of
any sort, all over the country, much
as the term ''blow up" is applied
nowadays. Pref. De We're quotes
this sentence from the New York
Herald of May 7th, 1856: eve hope
the president gave his secretary a
good rowing up for his imbecility :"
salt River" was, and Is, q little
tributary of the Ohio, in Kentucky.
1t was so crooked and dangerous
that rowing a keel-boat up its waters
was about the hardest labor a man
! could undertake. Hence, to row a
man up Salt River was as sever Il
punishment as could be imposed upon
him. The expression became proven
bal. One day, upon the floor of
Congress, Il member from Kentucky
made use of the phrase in a happy
allusion. The expression was hence
crystaIized in the popular speech of
the country. From that day to this,
the person or party that has been
badly defeated in all election is sent
up Salt River. We have a Salt River
near Mexico, and it comes very handy
about election time. Have you never
