FROM NASHVILLE TO NEW
ORLEANS.
Three Students Make the Voyage
In a SkiR.
Nashville World. %.


One afternoon in May three stu.
dents OF the State Normal College.
who were soon to graduate, hired a
skiff and started up the river with the
intention of visiting the Hermitage.
But, after getting nearly there. the
approaching night warned them to
return in order TO prepare for their
college duties Of the following day. In
the pleasant homeward trip, in the
balmy shades OF night, it was suggested
that after the close of the college a
trip down the river as far as Memphis
would be productive Of both pleasure
and renewed vigor after two years of
serious devotion to the college cur
riculum. After discussing the matter
briefly it was determined to undertake
the trip. Accordingly, after shipping
their trunks home, they bought large
and sound skiff, which they proceeded
to store with necessary provisions
after painting upon one side the name
Normal College," and upon the
other, "The Three Tramps." On the
7th of June they were bidden a bon
voyage by their numerous lady friends,
who looked with envious eyes upon
the departing mariners. A most
enjoyable trip ensued. At the an.
proach of twilight the boat was
moored to the shore, the voyagers
landed, and erecting their tent pro-
ceeded to sup, after which thev
obeyed the precepts of their youthful
days by retiring early. In the morn.
ing an early start was effected after a
hearty breakfast, and with merry
song they made their bark dance
along the bosom of the water. Some
times they landed in the day time and
took stroll through the woods in
search Of game. Oft at the approach
OF dusk, before landing for the night
they anchored in the stream and
hooked the finny tribe, which were
afterward fried and eaten with
relish to be acquired only by
hearty outdoor exercises. Sometimes
while on the Cumberland or the
Ohio, a steamer would threaten them
with destruction, as it sent them reel
ing on its high waves. But on getting
in the Mississippi they hueged the
shore, and were no longer thus i'm
peded. The heat was often nigh un.
bearable, but was greatly lessened by
an awning which they erected over
the boat. Again, the showers would
fall upon them, but they little needed
them, protected as they were by their
rubber suits. When they reached
Memphis, their original destination.
they could not Withstand the tempta.
ton to continue their way to New
Orleans. Many incidents occurred to
make the voyage highly enjoyable. A
journal was kept BY the Captain of the
crew, and Of this each has received a
copy. Upon reaching New Orleans,
after being out twenty-five days, they
separated for their homes, one going
to Florida, another to North Georgia
and the third to Arkansaw. Tbey
will long recall the trip of The Three

ALEXANDRIA, July 24.-The rifles
and mounted infantry occupied Ram
leh early this morning. They sta
toned one Gatling and one field gun
at the bridge over the canal. The
enemy's cavalry appeared and galloped
boldly along the railway at some three
hundred yards range, but fed upon a
volley being fred. After a short time
they reappeared with two guns, with
which they opened fire Intellectually
upon the British, who took to cover.
By nine o'clock the firing had ceased,
but the enemy are expected to re-
appear with reinfsrcements.
Arab Pasha occupies an extended
line from Mareotis to Aboukir. His
force is estimated at 700. The first
skirmish lasted an hour. One or two
English soldiers were hit. Several
Egyptians were seen to fall. Arab is
again advancing.
Crowther, one of the English engi-
neers reported mAssacred at Tautah,
has arrived here.
The commander of the fort at

truce, has refused to allow any En-
glishmen to enter the port. He is
probably really holding the fort in the
interest of Arab Pasha.

A DETERMINED SUICIDE.
Why Captain McMin, or the Uni

Newport ARK Spectator. 81.

About 6 O'Clock Thursday morning
the quiet of Newport was broken in
upon by the appearance of Mason
Goldsmith, from the United States
Snagboat John r. Meigs, with the an
nouncement that Robert McMin had
committed suicide byshootiug himself
And such proved to be the case.
McMin has been in charge OF the
snagboat up to the 18th inst, when

has been drinking very hard and

trouble. On Sunday night he took
six grains Of morphine with suicidal
intent, but did not succeed. On We'd

the strangeness of his actions in hand.
ling the gun excited the suspicious of
young Goldsmith, who prevented him
killing himself then and there. But
from the subjoined letters, addressed
to the Sheriff of the county and to
Mr.. Goldsmith, which were found in
his bed, it is clear he was fully deter
mined on taking his life:

The much talked of change Of pro
prietorship in the stock of the Nash
vile American is announced in yester.
days issue of that paper. Colonel A.
8. Colyar lin retiring from the
presidency of the Union and Ameri-
can Publishing Company in conse-
quenCe of sale of his stock" refers
briefly" as he calls it, to his connec-
tion with the paper. The article oc-
cupies a column and half and is
written in a very calm,
dispassionate toue. He reviews
some recent events in the history Of
attempts to settle the State debt, and
gives expression to very creditabls SEN
timents. He was opposed to the 60 6
settlement, and also to the 30 3 plat
form, which he regards as impracti-
cable and unacceptable to the bond
holders. Colonel Colyar closes as
follows;
Seeing the work of the good men Of
the State, in the interest OF peace and
harmony, rudely and blindly disre
garded, and the inevitable two horned
dilemma Of the Objectionable 60 6, or
the long struggle still protracted, |
shall retire from the contest with a
sorrowful heart, but with clear con-
science.
The sale Of my interest in the paper
is my own private business, and is
made without apology or explanation.
am glad to be able to say that the
American will still be conducted as it
has been Il trust with more ability,
In the interest of the whole Democrat
ic party, and not of any faction of the
party, and tina its greatest aim will be
a reunion of this party, and its prepa-
ration for tho great contest in 1884.
For myself, | shall do all in my
power to elect General Bate, believing
that he is better for Tennessee without
any platform, than Republican Gov
ernorn with a platform.
Following this appears a brief
business like editorial, declaring that
the American is no ones organ, but
will battle for Democracy and against
Republicanism. and that I'VE shall go
conduct our columns as to advance
those interests and keep to the front
of southern journalism a consistently
conservative, impersonal and metro
politan newspaper. No new names
are mentioned or other indications as
to change of policy with regard to the
coming canvass.

TIE Avalanche has a corner on
" Egyptians" Being a bolter, like
Arab PaSha, the editor is familiar
with the subject which he uses for
illustration in Tennessee politics. In
one of his articles he seems to imagine
he is a kind of Admiral Seymour,
shelling somebody or some place.
That is pleasing and harmless sort
Of hallucination, to which we have NO
objection. 1t is sad to think, however,
that the we'll meaning Old Man may
wake up in November to discover that
instead Of being an Admiral on an
ironclad, he is only kind of Pharaoh
clinging to chariot in the midst of
the Red sea.
