Clarksville evening chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn) 1886-1890, 1888-11-26

The Cumberland river b an impor-
tant factor in the way Of cheap
freight to Nashville. 1t is navigable
about eight months In the year for
boats Of 200 to 400 tons burthsn, and
with the locks and dams now being
constructed by the general Govern
ment, its navigation will be greatly
improved. Two hundred and ten
thousand dollars was voted by the
present Congress for the improve
ment Of the Cumberland river.
While this sum falls far short of the
amount needed, yet it is an effort in
the right direction.
The Cumberland river flows
through country rich in agricul-
tural lands. The leading products
are corn, wheat and tobacco, large
quantities Of which are annually
produced and shipped to market;
oats, clover, millet, and grasses of
all kinds flourish. On the upper
Cumberland the best bituminous
coal exists in great abundance, and
the mines were profitably worked
for a long period of years, sup
plying this city and other points
with fuel; but of late years the
mines have been abandoned, on
account of the difficulty in navi-
cation. The lower Cumberland
River, in the neighborhood of Fort
Donelson, is famous for producing
the best charcoal iron In America.
The celebrated Cumberland Iron
Works were located near Dover, and
it is said that no steam boiler made
from this iron was ever known to
explode; its toughness and tensile
strength is very great. The works
for number of years after the war
were abandoned, but are now again
in operation.
From Point Burnside, KY, the
head of navigation on the Cumber-
land River, to its mouth, at Smith
land, KY, the distance is 500 miles.
The scenery on the Cumberland
River, perpetually above Nashville,
is unsurpassed for beauty and grand
ear; many of the bluffs rise hundreds
of feet above the water, buttressed
by great rocks, placed there by the
hands OF the Master Mason, and COW
cred in springtime by myriads Of
clinging vines and flowers, offering
up their blessings and perfume to
Him who planted them on these bat
Elements of His handywork.
This river holds prominent place
in American history; its banks are
classic grounds. When some future
Bancroft comes to make up the record
of the past, few streams will be in
vested with greater interest to the
student of history than the Cumber-
land. The grounds of the Hermitage
are washed by its waves, where the
hero of New Orleans lived and died.
James K. Polk, the foremost figure
in the civil host who added Califor-
MIA and many territories to the
great West to the nation, rests here;
our Zollicoffer, who fell at Mill
Springs in the late struggle, died
upon its banks, and the first victory
that crowned the laureled brow of
him who now sleeps upon the Hud-
son, was won at Donelson on the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Exchange.

"That's Sarah, Every Time =

An old man would not believe he
could hear his wife talk distance OF
five miles by telephone. His better
half was in country store several
miles away, where there was a tele-
phone, and the skeptic was also in d
place where there was similar in
strument, and on being told how to
operate it he walked boldly up and
shouted: "HellO, Sarahv At that
instant lightning struck the tele
phone wire and knocked the man
down, and as he scrambled to his feet
he excitedly cried: "That's Sarah,

ON THE principle that "if you give
rogues rope enough, they will hang

They will soon get their necks into

We have just examined policy OF
Life Insurance issued by the Equit-
able Life Insurance society of New

gives an IncOnteStabie policy. This is
most important feature and abso-

contesting death losses. If you think
of insuring your life be sure to get an
incontestable policy. Mr.. Bristow,

ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
Declared A AduIterated Food and Their
 Sale Illegal.

The result of a trial just concluded at Canton, N. Y, before Judge Kellogg, will have salutary effect in checking the sale of one class of adulterated food. Two men, named Moon and Ackerill, were arrested for selling adulterated baking powder in viola tion of the State food adulteration act. The indictment was for both selling baking pow ders that were inferior, adulterated and inju- rious to health by reason of being made from alum, and for selling them under pretense that they were wholesome, cream of tartar baking powder. A stubborn defence was made, the claim being set up that baking powders were not articles of food and that the powder the defendants were selling, which was known as Gillett's, was 8 stand- ard article of trade, and that alum baking powders inferior to it, like Davis and others, were being sold by other dealers in the same town without complaint. The court held that baking powders were articles of food within the meaning of the law, and the jury found the defendants guilty upon all the charges. The case has attracted much atten- tion from being the first brought under the State food adulteration act against dealers in alum baking powders. The result of the trial is to class such baking powders as adul- terated articles of food and to make their sale illegal. There are many alum baking powders put up in cans, under some name or brand, in addition to those sold in bulk. the sale of all of which cautious dealers will probably be unwilling to continue.

The Grim and Truthful Records of
 Ancient Monuments.

The Grim and TFWGm1u1 4GcOfG9 O1 Ancient Monuments.
 Present at the ministers meeting yesterday morning were Rev. Drs. Munger, Twitchell and Rev. Messrs. Foster, Mutch ,Goodenough, l, Lee, KiIbourn, Jackson and Bynam of this city and Cow of Bridgeport and Reynolds of North Haven. The interest centered in the paper by Prof. Harper of Yale on ''The Bible and the monuments" It was read last fall before conference of clergymen in Philadel- phia In it Professor Harper showed that the inscriptions on the BAbylonian and Syri- an monuments, which are historical, poetical, business, lexicogrsphical and grammatical records of the past going back as far as 3, 500 years bsfore Christ, in nearly all instances corroborate the statements of the Bible, not withstanding the fact that this monumental history abounds in boosting, bleodshed and pillage. He thought that although large number of these old monuments have been brought to light they are not 8 tithe of the number that are buried from sight and stated that an expedition backed by $45, ,000 would start from Philadelphia next fall to explore the vicinity of the ancient cities of Babylon and Nineveh, with the hopes of unearthinR many old monuments and obtaining much valuable information which will further corroborate biblical statements. This expedition will be gone three years and will make an sxteuded exploration of the country. The inscrip- tions found of the monuments thus far ex- cayated tend to confirm the Bible, and in many cases explain and illustrate the almost incomprehensible statements in some DOT tions of the Old Testament.
 The reading of the paper, which was most interesting, occupied an hour, and at the close the professor was besieged on all sides by the clergymen to give their congregations the benefits of the paper. Rev. Dr. Twitchell
 finally secured the professor to deliver it at his church sometime in the future.
 It was afterward voted that next Monday the subject for discussion would be, fought children and young people to be encouraged to take charge of religious meetingsa' and

THE BUG AND THE PEN.
Natural History Studx.


 One of the most interesting studies of natu- ral history is the cockroach or Croton bug when he meets fountain pen. The cock roach is inevitable in newspaper offices, and is always dancing about the desks, eating paste and drinking ink. It is his economical habit when he comes across 8 drop of ink to absorb it rather than have it wasted. When he encounters the fountain pen he proceeds to suck up the moisture that ne observes on its point and, as this is practically whole inkstand, he drinks and drinks until he and not the ink is exhausted. The cockroach, though not sensitive to strong language and actual invective to which he is hardened by experience. is still a very thin-skinned crea- ture, and hs wears nothing but the patience of the person whose desk he calls by the sweet name of home. Consequently it is both easy and profitable to observe the course of the fluid within his corporation. It spreads gradually all through him until his dainty amber is completely changed to dead black, and then lies down and dies. But dozen successors appear in short time. Contrary to the recognized principle of political econo- my the supply is in no way measured or af- fected by the decentralization Courant.
