He concluded that it was necessary for
him to have a gunboat with which to
patrol the river. No regular boat could
pass the shoals to come far enough up the
Tennessee river for the purpose; besides,
If he asked the government for a gunboat
the war might end before he could get it,
He found an old mule ferryboat This he
patched up, and mounting a gun forward
set her aflOat under the name of the
"Gunboat Tennessee" There is some
thing ludicrOus in the military gravity
with which he gave his instructions to its
commander. When one considers the i'm
mense resources that were placed at the
disposal of other generals and the make
shifts of Mitchell, working with nothing
except what he could imprOvise, there is
something more than ludicrous in this
order. 1t is pathetic:
CAPTAIN: You are placed in command
OF the GunbOat Tennessee, now lying at
Whitesburg. YOu will find one piece of
artillery on board the boat, You win
take on board q crew Of armed river men
from your own company such as You may
deem necessary. You are also authorized
to take on board volunteers from the de-
tachment Of the Fifteenth Kentucky, now
at Whitesburg. Go prepared for any
emergency to work your boat should the
Orses and mules be killed"
The GunbOat Tennessee did good SER
vice. Steam soon replaced the mules, and
the peculiar looking craft continued to
patrol the river till Gen. Mitchell left the
country. life of o. NJ Mitchell, Astrono-

ImpOsitiOns Practiced on Americans.
''What strikes me most forcibly in what
l have seen of you Americans, said Mr..
John Mantel Of London, who is visiting
friends on the south side, ''is your guilt
bility. l think you impose on each other
and let other people impose on you more
than they do in any other country on the
face Of the globe. Why in the few days
have been here l have seen a dozen i'm
positions which, understand, have long
been practiced on you people, and you
take no sort of notice of them. For in
stance, ! wanted pair of shoes, and saw
just such pair as wanted in a State
street window. They were marked So in
big black figures on white card That
seemed to be a very reasonable price. and
as the card said they were the best make
in the land, or something Of that sort. I
went in with the intention Of buying
them.
I" 4 want a pair of shoes like that one
in the window I said.
''The clerk went straight and got a pair
that looked good deal like the sample. I
found q pair that fitted me and handed
him a So note.
Those are 49, said he.
But they are placarded IS in the win

"'Oh, this is not the same shoe. It is
made in the same style, but it is much bet
ter made and finer all round.
But want that So shoe, 1 told him.
"After he had done good deal Of look
ing around he came back and said they
hadn't one that would fit me in the shop.
Then he tried to flatter by telling me that
he naturally supposed I wanted the best,
and all that. Now, / understand you

on you in this manner year after year, and

Importing Champagne COrls.

The production of light wines in the
United States is nicely emphasized in the
consular reports, which show that Amer
lean firms have imported $780, 900 worth
of champagne corks alone. The reports
do not say whether the corks were brand
ed with standard names or how many
went to New York, where there are a
dozen houses engaged exclusively in the
business of manufacturing foreign wines
from the native product of Missouri and
California by injecting more carbonic acid
gas and drawing off a certain quantity Of
wine from each bottle. This change keeps
a wine from becoming heavy through
having too much grape juice, but the arti-
fetal stuff is terrible in its effects on the
coating of the stomach. Globe Democrat.

A city at the bottom of the sea was seen
toward the end of October near Treptow,
in Prussia, when II powerful south wind
blew the waters of the Baltic away from
the shore, uncovering a portion of ground
usually hidden from sight by the waves.
1t was the ruins of the city of Regamu-
ende, once a fOurishing commercial sta
ton, which was swallowed by the sea
some five centuries ago. The unusual
spectacle was enjoyed but for a few hours,
when the storm slackened and the waves
