In the early part Of the present century
thenavigation oithe Ohio river had dsvel
oped hardy, brave and advsnturousraCe o.
men whose business 1t was by means o.
vessels known as aat.bosts and ksel-boatl
to carry the products and merchandise o.
the up-countIy to New Orleans and the
towns and cities which at heightened in
teTvals studded the shores OF the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers.
ReserYing until later description oil the
keel-boAt; OF the hat-boat which varied in
its size, we remark that it was generally
from fifty IN seVenty-hYe feet in length,
and from twenty 70 thirty feet in width
and from six to ten feet in height, having
long oars called sweeps on It's sides and q
long steering oar attached to the stern, be-
ing covered with thin boards TO protect
the cargo from the weather. They were
usually allowed to float with the current,
the sweeps being employed when OBJ
structions were to be avoided or when a
landing was to be effected,
Months would often be consumed in &C.
complaining the passage from Wheeling to
New Orleans, At that time the aatboat.
men had many difficulties to contend
with and many obstacles to overcome in
the perilous course OF their voyage, not
the least Of which were those they en-
countered from bandits and robbers who
infested the shores Of the rivera, These
laWless bands under the cover OF dark
ness would steal unawaTes upon the crew
and empowering them bytheir numbers
would ranssCk and pillags the cargo and
carry away such portions Of 1t as they
most coveted to their caves and Businesses,
where great stores were often ssCreted,
which they disposed Of or appropriated to
their use.

VOlGd AND DON.
A Scheme tn Unite the Two Mighty Russian
Rivers.

"A scheme to Unite the Two Mighty Russian
Rivers.
A group of French and Russian cap
italists arc seeking from the Russian
Minister of Finance concession for
cutting u canal between the Rivers
Volga and Don. These two mighty
streams penetrate in their course
through Russia within fifty miles of
each other, at Tsaritzin, and then
strike of, one to the Black Sea and
the other to the Caspian. The pro-
moters of the undertaking seek by the
construction of tho canal to give the
outlet into the Black Sea. The phys
zeal difficulties arc not msuperable,
although sufficiently severe to test the
resources OF any except a very power
full syndicate. The idea of the canal is
by no means new, Peter the Great hav-
ing personally gone over the
ground and made rough scheme
for one. His successors, however, in
spite Of their enterprise in canal-mak-
ing, have always been averse to the
undertaking. In the flood season both
rivers are manageable, and it has
been thought that if canal were cut,
the Volga might some spring burst into
the Don and cause catastrophe. OF
course, with engineering skill it would
be easy to prevent this fear of timid
Ministers being realized, but it is inter-
csting to mention that nature herself
is preparing the way for some such
eventv.lity, the Volga yearly cutting
more and more into its west bank. and
thereby drawing nearer the Don. At
present the two rivers are connected
by a railway, described by Mackenzie
Wallace as the slowest, worst laid and
most infamous in Europe. The traffic
is not very large, and even the pro-
moters of the canal project do not
think they could carry out their project
without considerable subsidy from
the State.-Engineertng.

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
OF weight in the back, loins, and lower
part of the abdomen, causing the patient
to suppose he has some ELECTION of the
kidneys or neighborlng organs. At times,
symptoms of indigestions arc present,
fatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, ETC.
A moisture, like Precipitation, producing
a very disagreeable itching, after getting
warm, is common attendant. Blind,
Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at once
to the application Of DIR. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the
parts effected, absorbing the Tumors, al
laying the intense itching, and enecting a
permanent cure. Price so cents. Adj

An AnccdOte Showing That Proper Man
agement will overcome Greed.
The following anecdote illustrates
the fact that the man who is asked to
do an unusual thing will expect much
more pay than for doing usual thing
that costs him several times the trou-
bleL Some years ago, before the sale
of game was legalizcd, and a present
of it was thought worth the expense of
carriage, an Englishman rented a moor
within twenty miles of Inverness.
Wishing to send ten-brace box of
grouse to his friends in the South, he
directed servant to call upon Donald
Fraser (who owned horse and cart,
and made livelihood by driving peats
into the town., and ask him what he
would charge for taking the box to In
Donald would not take it under eight
shillings. Tho demand was thought
so unreasonable that the gentleman
complained to Scotchman, who was
shooting with him.
The Scotchman replied that he (the
EngIishman) did not understand how
to bargain with the natives, and that
SAS Va enSh oPPiOo~soou IN tno rlSnt
way would do the Job for much less.
Calling. Donald, he held the following
conv0 rsation:
&c uid-mornin's Donald! What's the
priY, o. peats the noop"
yJuist auchteenpence TIM load, SIR"
s'very weel, yc can taxi load into
MY aoose in Inverness the first thing

'I'll dae that, an thank ye, SIR"
The Scotchman then walked on
'about twenty yards when he suddenly
turned round, and said:
by the by, haze box tae send; ye
can JUST pit it on the tap o. the peats. y
"I'll dae that, sir. n'n no maxi

In this way the Scdtchman got a
good load Of peats, and the English
man got his box Of game sent for
nothing. --Srotfish-1,Rcfscan. f

Piso's Cure for Consumption.

Is medicine prepared in syrup,
favored with aromatics. IL is very
pleasant to the taste, and differs from
other cough remedies in that it never
causes nausea, consequently young
children and delicate persons take it
without objection. 1t is free from
opium in any form. therefore perfect
ly safe. 1t is put up in bottles con-
tanning about twenty doses for adults
and sold at the low price of % cents
per bottle.
CONSUMPTION.
This medicine is named Piso's Cure
for Consumption because it was ORR
ginally prescribed for that disease.
After efecting many surprising cures
it was put up like patent medicine
and offered to all the world. 1t has
cured multitudes who without it
would have filled untimely graves.
1t cannot be asserted that every case
Of Consumption may be cured by this
medicine, but it is true that thousands
of lives will be saved if they do not
delay too long. A neglect to try this
remedy is foolish-a criminally
foolish-act.
COUGHS.
A cough may or may not fore
shadow a serious evil. If you have a
cough without disease of the lungs,
so much the better. A few doses of
Piso's Cure is all you need. But if
you neglect this easy means of safety,
the slight. cough may become a Sc
rious matter, when several bottles will
be required to cure you.
Mrs. Carrie Phelps, of 721 N.

9, 1886, wrote as follows: ave have
