Mat Prindle. He was mate on
the steamer Fort Gibson. and was
a passenger on the way from Little
Rock TO Van Buren,. At the little town
OF Spadra Bluffs there was a large
amount OF salt III sacks to be dis
charged Now, as you well know.
sacked salt is the very worst kind OF
freight for the roustabouts tc handle.
Il Is considered test OF strength and
endurance. A sack Of salt is too heavy
4 load for one man TO carry, and not
heavy enough for two. Some mates
get over the difficulty when big salt
pile is to be handled by using hand
barrows' and trucks, but even then
there must be waste OF labor. Priu-

both standing on the bank and saw
six OF the crew sneak out OF line and
make theis way back along the fan-tail
to the wheel. The engines were ship
ped up and the wheel was in such a
position that one OF the buckets was
on dead level. On this bucket the
six shirkers ranged themselves like
crows on the limb Of a tree. When
Prindle saw them he seemed seized

In a recent number OF the Ladies'

take $500 for her next shilling story"
Lord Beacousfeld's novels brought
him ESQ. 200. while Victor Hugo died
worth ESQ, 900. Thackeray is reported
TO have said that 1t was amazing how
little he earned when in his early days
he wrote carefully. in contrast for
what he received for ''poor work"
after he became famous. Sir Walter
Scott was paid for an Indifferent "Lifs
OF Napoleon" Els. 900. and Mr.. Hayley
received no less than ELL. 900 for his
biography OF Cowper. Walter Scott
had TO abandon poetry as soon as Lord

was calculating one morning that he
had made f24,O00 by poetry. Shelley
was complaining OF the printers bill
he had TO defray out OF his own pocket.

I'm Peace,

Quite an idea upon the plan and pur,
pose of fishing came to light st Vienns
last week, when q fellow went fishing
down on Gum creek, says the Macon,

shady place and a comfortable seat he
threw his hook into the stream and drew
from his pocket a newspaper and was
soon lost in its columns. Directly his
cork BEGAN to bobble, then a strong pull
FROM the water caused the cork 10 20
clear under the water. Deliberately lay
ing his paper aside, he picked up his pole,
and, as hr began to wind up his line, re-
