THEFIRsT STEAMBOAT.
First Boat on the Ten
nessee Created.

Mr.. Josh II. Nichols in the Chat
tanooga Times contributes a very
interesting article on the first steam
boat that ever passed up the Ten
nessee above Decatur, Ala. He OBJ
tanned his facts from VIM. G. Hol.
lis, of Giles county, and relates them
as follows:
The first steamboat that ever
passed up the Tennessee river above
Decatur, Ala, was in the year 1925
or 1929. Several other gentlemen
and myself were on the river some
distance above Decatur, fishing.
The night was dark and we had
just run our lines, and returned to
our little fire on the bank. All was
quiet, when boom went a big gun
away down the river. Our whole
party started to our feet with won
der and excitement. Did you hear
thatr What does that meanP and
various other questions, remarks
and suggestions were made, and
nothing was thought of for some
time except that big gun and what
it could mean. After some time we
became more quiet, when suddenly
the air was rent with another boom
evidently much nearer. At this the
whole party became intensely anx
ious concerning the matter and some
of US could scarcely be persuaded
to remain longer. Very soon We
saw a light down the river. We
looked with amaZement and as il
approached We heard a strange
sound-'pshu, pshu.' We moved
back from the river some distance
where we thought it safe to stay anC
see what the great monster was. AL
on tiptoe we stood, looking il
breathless silence until the boat go
opposite US, and boom went the big
gest gun we ever heard. This prov
ed too much for an old gentleman Of
the party, and thinking it time tc
take care of number one, he started
at a lively gate for the nearest
house. Very soon he was going al
break neck speed. He went by the
nearest route, ignoring all roads,
plunging into a lagoon of consider
able width, sometimes in deep mud
then in water to waist. Neverthe-
less he made his way to the house
on quick time. Next morning cir
culars were found on the bank at 9
ferry landing, inviting the citizens
to meet the boat the next day at 8
little town a short dis ance up the
river and take free ride but the
old gentleman who made his escape
by flight the night before could not
be induced to go to town that day"
MI. Hollis said ne was sixteen or
seventeen years old at that time,
and though he went to town in
tending to enjoy the free ride his
courage failed and he did not go in
fifty yards of the boat. Many PEG
pie went to town, but only a few
had the courage to get aboard the
boat. Those who did enjoy the ride
thought it a long one-they went
five miles up the river and back.
The south side of the river was then
inhabitated by the Indians, and so
terrible was their fright that they
removed their tents from near the
river to the mountains. Everybody
talked of the great boat and the big
gun and wondered what would come
of this running boat up! the Ten
nessee river.

The Danger in Egypt.

CAIRO, Feb. 9.-In an interview
to-day the khedive said he believed
Gen. Gordon was still alive, as the
mahdi was too wise a man to kill
him Mahdi had no interest in
wishing the death of Gen. Gordon,
but on the contrary would do all in
his power to prevent such an occur
renee. Instant action on the part
of England is necessary to prevent
further progress of the mahdi's
cause, and to avert new disasters.
The abandonment of the Soudan by
England under the present circum-
stances would be a grave mistake.
Tribes hitherto friendly to Great
Britain would join the mahdi, and
if England does not take immediate
stems to crush him his influence
may eriously affect the stability OF
the British empire in India.

Gov. Cleveland spent a day or
two IN New York last week and re-
ceived visiting statesmen. A dele
CATION from Tennessee, consisting
of Congressman George Dibreli,
Benton McMillion and Andrew j.
Caldwell, called upon him, and al
ter pleasant conversation pressed
the name of Ex-Congressman Whit
thorne, of Columbia, Tenn, for sec
rotary of the navy.
Tammany Hall to-day presented
the following address, signed by
the whole committee, to President
Elect Cleveland:
''The undersigned committee, re-
presenting the democratic organiza
ton of Tammany Hall, avail, them
selves of your visit to this city to
present the congratulations of that
ancient organization on your cleo
ton to the presidency of the United
States. We assure you of our wish
and expectation that not we alone
shall approve your administration
of our country's affairs, but that by
universal accord your acts will be
applauded as the fruit of that dem
ocratic policy which should charac
terize the government of eur land.
Reliant upon our knowledge that
you are one who maintains duty
above repute, and who appeals to
the plain understanding rather than
the prejudices Of the people, we an
nounce to you our disposition and
intention to render your administra-
ton our unreserved support, in the
belief that tia history will record
the triumphant discharge of all its
obligations and duties to the peo-
pie"
President Elect Cleveland, re-
spending to the remarks made by
Gen. John Cochrane in the presen-
tstion of the address, said: 81 am
pleased to receive you, gentlemen,
and from your organization this as
surance of support, which am en-
titled to expect from all through
out the land, but which 1 am par
ticularly pleased to be personally
and especially assured Of by the va
rious bodies throughout the ceun-
try. In the great labor which l
have before me, l need the aid Of
you all. The assurance contained
in the address had expected, and
they are in accord with my wishes.
This special announcement of them,
however, gives nae peculiar pleas
ure.
The New York Worlds Washing
ton correspondent gives another
phase to the victory CD gained
over the railroads in congress. He
says:
The railroad people about the
senate are very triumphant over
the passage of the commits
sion bill by the senate. The re-
suit OF the passage of this measure
is exactly what the railroad lobby
has calculated. The senate bill |
WIN go to a house conference com
nittee. There is no possibility of
an agreement. The result is that
the same fight will have to be gone
over again in the next congress.
The railroads will be always able to
defeat any such radical measure as
he Reagan bill in the senate.
And SO they care very little about
what Reagan proposes to do in the
'uture.

the city. The subjects are well chosen
and are within the comprehension of

number of the tableaux and the extent
OF the parade it will exceed any previ-
