A Very Young Preachers Experience on
the Mississippi River.
From the Arkansaw Traveller.l
s'NearIy every man who, ever travelled on
the Mississippi river in the old days can re-
late an interesting experience said the Rev.
Mr.. jackson, minister whose reputation as
an impassioned public orator has gene be-
yond the boundaries of Arkansas "There
was something about q Mississippi river ex-
perience that tended to aid in vivid repro
duction. The grand floating drawing rooms,
the wealth displayed at every turn, and the
studied politeness and conventional ceremony
of supposed good breeding which you
everywhere meet, all come up at once in re-
portrayal of a character which, thus sur
rounded, you have contemplated. But all of
this politeness and exhibition of good breed
ing, must say, was but the white foam on
muddy water. 1t was the courtesy that could
grasp the hand of new acquaintance or
shoot an old friend.
I'm the spring of 1850 boarded a grand
steamer at New Orleans bound for up the
river. I was a very young preacher at that
time, and was under orders TO- repair TO q
small community and assist in c6nducting q
revival. There was something .ote a5WGr be-
ing waged between 'tWo--ahnrahes, and it
stood our church in hand to Concentrate
forces or lose ascendancY in the lneighbor-
hood. These were the days of political and
religious vigor, and ayowed opposition in re-
igious centests was regarded as being no
more out of place or in I'll keepinR with the
faith than the fierce struggles engaged in by
the Wings and Democrats. I was-told at
headquarters that another young preacher
would be sent to assist ms, and that If
needed more help to make my demands
known at once. When 1 boarded the boat 1
looked around for my companion-in- arms
whose name even had not learned The
closest search failed to discover my assistant,
and concluding that he had either preceded
or would come after me, dismissed the mat
ter and settled down to the quiet enjoyment
of the occasion.

DEAR sIR-During my term Of service in the Inter
nal Revenue Department of the United States the
time my office was in this city, afflicted with
severe attack of Kidney Disease at times suffered
intensely. received the medical advice some of
our best physicians for long time, without being
benefited by their prescriptions. Being discouraged
by the failure of the doctors to help me- and being
urged to Hunts Remedy by friend who had
tested its merits although reluctant to try patent
medicine, was finally induced to try the Remedy,
and procured two bottles of 1t and commenced tax
Ing it faithfully c,ording to the directions
Before had taken 1t three days the excruciatina
pains in my back had disappeared, and before had
used two bottles was entirely cured. Whenever
from over exertion violent cold the pains in nv
kidneys return, few doses of Hunts Remedy quick
ly effects q cure.
Before closing I beg to mention the remarkable
cure of friend of mine in New York city, to whom
recommended this valuable medicine He was sur
fering severely from attack which pre-
nounced by physician a decided case of Bright's
Disease of the Kidneys. obtained two bottles Of
Hunts Remedy for him and he commenced taking 1t,
and began to improve at once and was speedily
stored to health and he attributes the saving his
life, under the blessing of mercful Providence,
Hunts Remedy.

Feeling deeply grateful for the great beneats expe-
rienced by my friends and myself from the use of
Hunts Remedy, feel it to be my duty, as a
great privilege, to furnish you this voluntary and
unsolicited statement of facts for the information Of
your large number of readers many of whom are un-
doubtedly suffering from this widely spreading
scourge, and 1 believe that it is the best medicine

Mr.. John G. Whittier,s recent letter CON
corning prohibitory liquor legislation having
been misunderstood by some persons, he has
written another defining his position more
clearly, in which he says: Tn answer tc

of the labors of the friends of temperance,
especially the Woman's Christian Temper.
ance Union, for prohibition, the ballot for
women and the waking up of the people to
the danger of intemperance and the sale of
intoxicating liquors. I know of no instru-
mentality more potent than the union in rem
dering prohibition practicable by educating
the masses of the people and especially the
young, preparing them to not only vote for
prohibition, but to enforce it when it becomes
law. Of the right and duty of prohibition
have never doubted, but we can only have
it effectual when the people are made to see
and feel its necessity"
The need of spelling reform is empha-
| sized by the treatment which the word
schedule" has received from some who
ment. Mr.. G. H. La Fetra has collected
from the official correspondence of the de-
partment seyenty.one distinct ways In which
postmasters, members of Congress, contrac-
tors and others have spelled this word. One
correspondent sends in one letter these four
specimens: ''Scheoul, schedule, scheowIe
schicle." Others have preferred "chedeule, 1"
.'scaguel," ''soedjule. ssschedgeule, or
''schegal." One economical person shorten
ed the word to 'fschied" Then we find
mong the variations such labored efforts as
'schusdul," 'tschugdale," ''schuledule,"
'schkedule, ''skedgeoul" and "schudgal. I"
Writers who had no time to waste upon friv-
olous orthography were content with ''scu-
Ele,'' "sedul," segule, .'skedgel, !" "skegel,' -
or ''skegole," and one who had some idea of
the value of phonetic system boldly wrote
''skudgl"
Most of those who still believe in capital
punishment think that criminals ought to be
put to death in some less repulsive way than
by hanging. A New York electrician has in
vented an instrument which will end the
career of murderer with neatness and de-
spatch." It consists of an insulated arm
chair in which the criminal is to be seated,
with his hands on the arms and his bare feet
on metal foot rest. A collar containing
metal buttons fitting closely against the
spinal column is placed on his neck. The
whole apparatus is connected with dynamo
machine, from which powerful current of
electricity may be sent through the body,
causing instantaneous and painless death.
The inventor says he has devised the ma
chine in the interests of humanity, and does
not seek to make money on il, but will give the
patent to the government. He also offers it
to foreign governments. He intends to have
bill introduced in the New York legislature
next year, authorizing the use of the ma
chine. This, or something like it. would be

disposing of those unfortunate persons for

The Mackerel Catch.

The mackerel situation is fast becoming
quite interesting, and is attracting great deal
of attention. The feet did better last month
than for some time previous, and added 45 TO
barrels to the catch, which, up to Oct aggre-
gated 142,177 barrels. This, however, is not
more than half as many as were caught at this
time last year. and unless the vessels have ex-
traordinary good luck, it is not likely that this
seasons catch will be over fifty per cent of last
years. which, at the close of the season, was
378,863 barrels. Since October /, the feet have
landed 1927 barrels, which make the total
catch up to Saturday 156,454 barrels. If the
receipts should continue at that rate for many
days the figures would soon swell up, and as
the fish are schooling along the coast, it is just
possible that our fishermen will yet be reward
ed with fair average catch AS prices of
mackerel have ranged much higher this season
than last, the total amount of money realized
for the fish figures up quite handsomely, and if
the catch should come within % per cent of
the quantity caught last year, we think the
value of this years work would be very near,
If not fully, up to the value of last years. For
few days past the weather has been too
stormy for much fishing, and the fleet have
been coming in with their fares. The vessels
are widely scattered from Cape Cod to the
Maine coast.
The following statement of the catch of
mackerel up to Oct. /, and the total up to the
close OF the season for several years past will
be found interesting:

The great event of the season will bs q 10
mile running race, to take place at Presump-
scot Park, Thursday, October 18th, between
Miss Myrtle Peek, the champion lady rider of
America, and Madame Marantette, champion
lady rider of France, on their Kentucky Thor
ough-breds. The conditions of the race reouire
change of horses every mile without touching
the ground. Miss Myrtle Peek ia only LIZ wears
old and weighs less than 100 pounds She is
very highly accomplished and an educated
lady, being an especially fine musician. Born
on farm near Mendon, Michigan, she early
became fond of horse back riding and last year
adopted it as profession. In her brief career
she has ridden 20 long distance races, being
defeated in only three of these events. Her
companion Madame Maranettte, is distinguish
cd for her handling of horses and grace in rid
Ing and is justly styled the champion lady
equestrian of the world. They have appeared
iu all the principal cities from California to
Canada, including Hampden Park, Springi
Narrangansett Park, Providence; Mystic and
Beacon Parks, Boston, and they have become
great favorites in the equestrian line in this
country wherever they have given exhibitions
in workmanship and daring riding. They
have stud OF nine Kentucky thoroughbred
horses, trained especially for these races Both
ladies appear in elegant riding habits. Lovers
of sport ia this vicinity will have to wait a
long while before they will again have chance
to witness these renowned lady equestrians, as
