To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
see that you permit the plain, common peo-
pie to come and express their opinions freely
through the columns of your able and popular
paper For that reason, being unusually com
mon, if I may be allowed that term, and being
painfully plain in appearance. take my pen in
hand to write few lines which, hope, you
will give great prominence in your paper, put
ting them next to pure reading matter-pure po-
litcal reading matter would be preferred-with
several large. attractive heads to it.
see that Mr.. jefferson Davis, who has recent
~ entered the lecture field, says that there
could have been no nober cause for which to die,
no opportunity more glorious for a proud and hon
orable death, than that afforded the confederate
soldier who espoused the cause of the South
twenty years ago. Looking at it in that way,
ask, in all candor, why did not Mr. Davis i'm
prove that glorious opportunity Feeling that
way about it, why did he not remove his polo
naise and die like man9 Why did he let such
chance 60 by, in order that he might enter the
lecture-ield and crowd out better men, and then
die of old age, when he could have hung up his
hoopskirt On a tree and died in a way that would
have endeared him to every Southern hearth
agree with the lamented A. Ward that sit
would have been $25 in Mr.. Daviss pocket if ne
had never been born,' but after he was born and
it was too late to consider his rash act be should
have died as young possible. With charac-
teristic hardness, however. he allowed himself
to grow up. and then with the full knowledge, as
he now admits, that the war of the Rebellion af-
forded beautiful opportunity for the man who
yearned to die in neat and attractive way, he
fritted away that golden moment and continued
to destroy the high priced groceries of the de-
spondent South.
There is certainly "a tide in the affairs of men
which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune"
and Mr. Davis surely missed it when he neg
lected to make funeral tableau of himself.
know that small-minded people will say that
l express myself in this way because Mr. Davis
has entered the lecture field and aroused my
jealousy, but with my hand on my heart, sol
EMMY assert that such is not the case. I say
simply that believing as he did, the proper thing
for him to do was to take off his sun bonnet,
hand his paletot to an attendant and breathe his
last. 1t is said that the lecture-ield at present
is overcrowded, but there will always be room in
soil for a man who does not take up any more
room than j. Davis does. BILL NYE.

shown, is already the cheapest thing in the
world. If any man or woman wants to save
six cents week at the expense
of, it may be. two or three dol
lars to the carrier, that one should
insist on cheaper prices. 1t is the same on
all articles that are already cheap. The man
who insists on buying pair of overalls for
forty-eight cents instead of fifty is joining the
mob that is gradually crushing the life out of
the poor woman who makes them at probably
ten or fifteen cents dozen. The dealer that
cuts rates on these goods is obliged to ask that
the seamstress do their work yet a little
cheaper, when at that very moment she may
be working at less than 81 week. The pol
icy is vicious one from beginning to end,
and should receive no encouragement from the
newspapers. 1t is very inopportune time
for the papers to indicate that they think
that anybody connected with them is receiv-
ing too high wages, and to entertain plan
that must force some one to work for less.
The three-cent paper means pinch to all
who handle it. AT five cents it is the cheap
est thing that comes into any mans house,
and we do not think any considerable number
of readers favor such mean policy at this
juncture in the labor troubles of the country.

habit was, he has mechanically removed his

Fort Hill.

To THE EDITOR: have frequently noticed
that comrades writing in regard to the assault
made on the enemy's works at the Jackson road
in June, 1863, during siege of Vieksburg speak
Of the works assaulted as Fort Hill. While
do not now remember the name Of that partic-
ular fort, yet l know it was incorrectly called
Fort Hill. That fort was on Sherman's ex-
treme right, overlooking the river, and imme-
diately north of the city.
In this connection quote from Capt. Green's
excellent work, 1.-THE Mississippi" He is an
officer Of Engineers. United States Army, and,
1 presume good authority. He says: "JUst
after the assault of May % it was thought that
by bringing gunbOats to enflade the batteries
on Fort Hill that position might be carried. At
Sherman's request Porter gave the necessary
orders, aud on the morning Of May q the Gin
cinnati came down to engage these batteries at
the same time four vessels, which were below
the city, engaged the batteries near the Marine
Hospital. The Cincinnati was shot through and
through by the plunging fire from Fort Hill, and
i'm less than half an hour five of her guns were
disabled and she was in sinking condition
She was run toward the shore about a mile
north of Fort Hill, and sank in three fathOms
of water. Thirty-six of her crew were killed
wounded or drowned"
In conversation with an old citizen of Vicks.
burg the writer was informed that in an early
day the Spaniards built fort on this hill as q
defense against the Indians when they as
cended the river, and it has ever since been
known as Fort Hill.-JoHN l.. MATHEWS, Ad

Through the Niagara Rapids.

C. ID. Graham, a young English cooper, on
Saturday last hoated through the Niagara
whirlpool in a cask. The barrel was built
somewhat in the shape of an egg, the top being
20 inches, the bottom II inches, and the swell
80 inches in diameter IL was made of slaves
ii inches thick, the bottom being q inches
thick, and the top, in which manhole was
placed, "a inches thick. The barrel, which is
seven feet long, is protected on the bottom by
- IL hoop-iron bands, and the upper part by
four 2-inch bands. 1t had a draft of four
feet and was entered through a manhole in the
top, aud contained bagshapcd hammock, in
which the man who made the senseless expert
ment lay. There are two valves on top through
which he breathed, and several holes which
were plugged and which could be opened at
pleasure. In the afternoon Graham entered
his barrel and was dropped into the current at
the exact spot from which the unfortunate
Webb started TO his death some time ago.
He went into the rapids all right and struck
the whirlpool with every appearance of safety.
But three times only was the egg-shaped ves-
sci lost sight of, and then only for a moment.
1t was evident that the curious craft was going
through safely and the crowd set up a shout.
Once or twice the barrel struck the rocks
heavily, but il righted itself promptly and sped
on its way TO the lake, seemingly caring nothing
for the foaming waters and ragged rocks. At
AS, 40 minutes after entering the cast Gra-
ham landed safely at Lewiston, five miles below
the starting point, and when the cask was
opened the young fellow stepped out in good
form. His only complaint was that his hands
were a little sore from hanging to the straps 50
long. He had passed through the terrible, boil
ing whirlpool safe and sound, and he was made
the lion of the hour by the villagers, who had
spent their lives by the rivers bank and never
had seen human being brave its awful torrent
Graham now thinks Of making the drop from
the old bridge, and believes he can do it safely
