that rises abruptly from tho waters edge. IL
was tie first place of interest passed, und di-
rectly after we lost sight of its great central
tower and long cluster of wings, which
branclied OH all sides from tic main building,
| we were called IN to supper by the tinkling Of
the stewards bell.
1t has always been Il matter for wonder to
the writer that these river lines Of travel arc
not more frequently used by those who, by the
nature of the business upon which they are
| bound, find time no object,
The saloon of the steamer was fitted out in
! such coy style that when lit up by @ dozen
swinging chandeliers it had a charm that was
irresistible. Up through the middle OF the
saloon the supper tables were ranged and
their snowy linen and shining silver service,
With the ~all-pervading aroma of coffee, served
to give an appetite to those who lacked it,
and that was never the fate of a newspaper
man.
So we greatly relished the nicely cooked
wafiles and chicken, and when supper was
ended wandered back upon deck.
The first object that attracted the attention
was nm enormous blazing lightsome four miles
below upon the right bank of the river,
Upon inquiring of one of the officers of tho
boat we learned that we were approaching
the settlement of the Economics, a com
munity with rather quaint notions Of life;
and the manner in which they have
established themselves at this place, which is
called Economy, proves that they thoroughly
believe in what they preach. The light which
had so suddenly attracted our attention was
che flame from a natural gas well upon their
property and so near the landing stagothat it

people and their still more quaint methods.

great fame and a GOOD light. Its ftful blaze
made tie dusky forms, as they fitted rapidly
too and fro in the misty atmosphere, have o
very weird appearance, and called to mind
that passage in Mark Twain's ''Gilded Age,p
where the old negro, who for the first time in
his litc secs a steamboat, falls upon his knees
and prays heaven to save him from the infer
nal thing approaching with its two big blaz-
ing eyes.
Without doubt ono of the. ~strangess sights
the writer has witnessed In a travelling expe-
rience that has reached around tho world Is
the floating villages Of the Ohio river. The
great floods that have occurred along tho
Ohio have given rise to such a feeling of inse-
curity that many families sold their land at q
great sacrifice and moved further inland,
while others who were impoverished by the
floods have built themselves a sort OF fiat
boat, upon which they cook and sleep. But
this class, of course, are generally laborers,
who, when they work In q town. find this the
safest and cheapest manner to i've.
The river at certain places was dotted all
over with this clumsy little craft, forming a
perfect floating village.

The mountain slopes about this portion of
the. river are being cultivated for grape rails
ing, and as we proceeded further ON the slopes
We're dotted with vine trimmers who were
taking advantage of the pleasant weather to
get ready for a crop.
There has been so much written about the
wine making and grape growing industry
along this river that it is almost impossible to
say anything that has not already been said.
Shortly after leaving Catlettsburg we
passed Ashland, one of the many pretty places
along the river, and about ten miles below
we ran into Ironton, Ohio, with its great
furnaces, which are the largest in the world,
and one of these furnaces is so immense that
it has never worked entirely as the demand
could be easily supplied with one-half its
capacity. Marietta, Ohio, with it's quaint
gabled houses and high shelving river banks,
is the Oldest settlement in Ohio, and is at the
mouth of the Muskegon river.

GRAPEVsNE these two little
cities at the base of the great eternal hills.
One full of life, hope, enterprise and wealth.
The other still and deserted of all its wealth
and rank.
A few hours later we arrived In Cincinnati,
amid the like clouds of SCOT and smoke that
we had seen upon leaving Pittsbnrg. We
alighted from the boat and found ourselves
upon the streets of far-famed P~orkopolis, as it
Is called. Like all cities where soft coal is used,
Cincinnati is troubled with an atmosphere
mainly composed of SCOT specks II whirling
clouds of smoke that leave her most beautiful
buildings covered with a smeary black sub
stance that is nything but inviting in appear

places the writer has ever seen to spend a warm

surrounding country, and are fitted out with
long rows of electric lights, which have q
most brilliant effect in looking from thu city

II GOVERNMENT DIX ABOVE
just above Marietta we passed the long
sweeping wall of the government dike, which
has been built by the department of naviga-
ton of rivers and harbors to deepen n side
of the river. If it were not for this the Ohio
would be practically closed at this point for
even fiat bottomed boats.
The river is full of salmon, pike and bass,
aud the long stone wall was crowded with
fishermen. Many of these were amateur
anglers from the eastern states.
Maysville, with its great tobacco ware
houses and great hills, was the next town
passed on the skentucky shore, and just above
it we stopped long enough to get a glimpse at
all that remains of the once famous city Of
Augusta, which before the war was the
wealthiest place in the state of Kentucky.
1t was the summer resort for the aristocracy
OF Kentucky, and figured high in the history
Of the state. 1t was completely destroyed by
fire during the war, and has never been re-
built.

seen before. As the boat winds in and out
the intricate shallow passages of the river the
mountains seemingly change from one side to
the other. Now they are OIL the Kentucky
shore, and again upon the Ohio side.
The river narrows and the mountains grow
taller, until right near the boundary line,
where cold kaintuck" and West Virginia
touch, they seem to have attained such an
elevation as to make it impracticable for a
man to get a living by farming. Yet there,
Oh their great, scrawny, rocky sides, are seen
little green patches, and u small log hut can
be found by a little patience, generally placed
on q knoll and near the edge of q gully, where
they seem balancing upon its verge and ready
to topple over at any moment.
Turning to the old pilot, for we had clam
bered to the wheel house to better enjoy the
scene, we asked for information respecting
the mode of planting these little patches. His
reply was short and quaint.
"Wa'al, stranger, l bin runnin' on this yer

seed them plant yit, but guess they sit in the
house and shoot the seed out over them
