Origin of up Salt River.~

The following derivation of the slang
phrase "Rowed up Salt river" to express
the condition of a defeated candidate for
office, is thus explained by Bayard Taylor:
Formerly there were extensive salt works
on Salt river, Ohio, short distance from
its mouth. The laborers employed in them
were set of athletic, belligerent fellows
who soon became known far and wide for
their achievements in the pugilistic line
Hence it became common for the boatmen
on the Ohio, when one of their number be-
came refractory. to say to him, We'll row
you up Salt river when. of course, the
burly salt men would have the handling
OF him. By natural figure of speech, the
expression was applied to political candi-
dates-frst, believe, in the presidential
campaign of 1870" A better explanation
of the phrase than that given by Mr. Tay-
lor above seems to be that in the early days
the mouth of Salt river was a favorite
stronghold of the river pirates, who proved
on the commerce of the Ohio, and rowed
their plumber up Salt river
A friend suggests third probable deri-
vation of the phrase. He says that he has
heard it applied to defeated candidates as
FAR back as 1888, and that it originated in
1882, when Henry Clay, as candidate for
the Presidency, had an engagement to
speak at Louisville, KY. Hehad employed
a boatman to row him up the Ohio. Now
this boatman was Jackson Democrat: he
pretended to have lost his way, and instead
of rowing up the Ohio turned into Salt
river This caused Clay much delay, for
he did not reach Louisville until the day
after election.-St Louis Republic.

After a Match.

The average person notices the arrange
ment of a room surprisingly little Its di-
mensions and the relative positions of the
furniture may seem to be familiar to him,
but in reality they seldom are The way
to become convinced of this is to hunt for
something, match for instance, in the
dark
Yon have the mantel, and make grab
where you imagine the match safe stands.
Down goes a piece of bric-a- brac to the
floor
More care is used. You find the end of
the mantel, and run your hand along the
marble slab. Off goes a verse or two. You
strike the clock; you've got it. No, it's on
the other side. Not therel All, then it's
on the table.
After running against the stove and
tripping over the chair, you find-the sofa.
Keep cool and take your bearings. The
table is north of the sofa, and the sofa runs
east and west; north, therefore, is in front
of you. Now you have it. That article
that dropped to the floor sounded like the
match safe But it's the ink well, and
your fingers are dyed with color warrant
ed not to fade. .s..
: A bright idea-the stovel You burn
your fingers and warp your patience, but
you secure light. And the match safer
1t is on the mantelpiece in front of the

and said: BLESSED Lord, We are ON the
same old terms yet. Good night. Good
night.
Oh, you sin parched and you trouble
pounded, here Is comfort, here is satisfac-
tion- viii you come and get itr cannot
tell you what the Lord offers you hereafter
SO well as can tell you now .sIt doth not
yet appear what we shall be.'' Have you
read of the Tai Mahal in India, in some
respects the most majestic building on
earth? Twenty Thousand men were twenty
years in building it. 1t cost about sixteen
millions of dollars. The walls are of mar
BILE, inlaid with carnelian from Bagdad,
and turquois from Thibet, and jasper
from the Punjaub, and amethyst from
Persia and all manner of precious stones.
A traveller says that it seems to him like
the shining of an enchanted castle of bur
nished silver. The walls are two hundred
and forty-fve feet high, and from the top
of these springs dome thirty more feet
high. that dome containing the most won
derful echo the world has ever known, so
that ever and anon travellers standing be
low with flutes and drums and harps are
testing that echo, and the sounds from be-
low strike up, and then come down, as it
were, the voices of angels all around about
the building. There is around 1t a garden
OF tamarind and DiInyan and palm and all
the floral glories of the raasacked earth
But that is only tomb of Il dead en-
press, and it is tame compared with the
grandeurs which God has builded for your
living and immortal spirit. Oh, home of
the blessedi foundations of l,oldI Arches
of victory! Capstones of praise. And
dome in which there are echoing and re-
echoing the hallelujahs of the ages And
around about that mansion is a garden
the garden of God-and all the springing
fountains are the bottled tears of the church
in the wilderness, and all the crimson of
flowers Is the deep hue that was caught up
from the carnage of earthly martyrdoms
and the fragrance is the prayer of all the
saints, ana the aroma puts into utter for
getfulness the cassia, and the spikenard,
and the frankincense, and the world re-
nowned spices which the Queen Balkis. of
Abyssinia, flung at the feet of King Solo
mon.
When shall these eyes thy heaven built walls
And pearly gates behold,
Thy bulwarks, with salvation strong.
And streets of shining goldf
Through obduracy on our part. and
through the rejection of that Christ who
makes heaven possible, wonder if any of
us will miss that spectacle? feari 1 fearl
The queen of the south will rise up in judg-
ment against this generation and condemn
1T, because she came from the uttermost
parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of
Solomon, and behold, a greater than Solo
mon is herel May God grant that through
your own practical experience you NAV find
that religions ways are ways of pleasant
ness, and that all her paths are paths of
peace-thaI it is perfume now and perfume
forever. And there was an abundance of
spice; neither was there any such spice as
the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon"

one could not understand why an old Ger

had so many trials and sicknesses and all

on the chair beside the stand and open tLe

Petroleum as Hair Persnader.

Not suspicion of hair remained on
the Uranium of a Pennsylvania engineer.
He had heard of petroleum as hair
restorer, and, as he ran into the oil re-
gions, daily, decided to try it. Procur-
ing felt skull-cap he lined it with cotton
waste from the cab and continually kert
it moist with the crude oil. His duties
occupied his attention and he soon be-
came accustomed to the odor. In few
weeks he was surprised by a silky down
which made his head feel soft to the
touch, and in few months astonlshed
his friends with beautiful crop of short
curly hair.
