sreAmsoATlNe ON THE OHIO.
It Was at the Height of It's Prosperit,
Half q Century Ago.

y =
Half q Century Ago.
1t was from 1870 to 1865 that steam
| boating was at its height. Fortunes
were made in those years by men who
owned and ran boats. There were lots
Of steamers on the river then. The cn-
bryO industries Of that period depended
on the river entirely, for railroads had
only been proposed-not built. About
| 100 steamboats, were built at Pittsburg
annually 10 run on the Ohio and 8Iissis-
sippi rivers. This city was noted Tor
the trim crafts IL placed on the water, as
soz2e OF the biggest and best running
steamers were built az the headwaters Of
the Ohio.
The boats Of the early steamboating
days Were all side wheelers. 1t was not
until late that the advent Of the stern
wheel boats occurred, and when IL did
they were not looked upon with favor
by the deniZens Of the side wheel crafts.
The rivermen regarded them as an in
ferior kind Of boat, on whose decks it
was beneath the dignity Of first class
steamboatman TO tread.
The packets were Of good size and
stoutIy built. They were not supplied
with swinging stages and steam cap
STAINS, and their engines Were Of sure but
not so graceful movement as engines
now, and electric lights for steamboats,
were not even dreamed Of. But they
served their purpose III making big mon
ey for their owners.
There was but one organized packet
company running boats down the river
from Pittsburg. 1t was the old Pittshurg
and Cincinnati Packet line, and it owned
about % steamboats,, some of which left
the Pittsburg wharf daily. Among them
were the Buckeye State, the Hibernia,
Pittsburg, Crystal Palace and Pennsyl-
yania. These Boats were all stoutly
built AVID especially adapted for fast
running. The laws relating to racing
were not so stringent then as now, and
exciting contests of speed on the river
occurred daily.
One of the swiftest of the packets was
the Pennsylvania. She was the largest
of the Cincinnati boats and made some
splendid records on the Ohio. She was
30 feet long ana 31feet beam. Another
fast steamer was the Allegheny. She was
not so large as the Pennsylvania, but
was almost as speedy. Some of these old
Cincinnati Packet line boats were sunk,
u few burned, and the others wore out in
the river service.
Besides the Cincinnati company pack
cts there were several steamers, most of
them owned by Pittsburgers, which ran
down the river and which had no regu-
lar trades, but made trips whenever and
wherever there was occasion for their
services. They were chiefly to st. Louis
and New Orleans, the trip to the last
named point being completed in about
20 days. There were few boats run
ming up the Monongahela and Allegheny
rivers. Brownsville was as far up az
the slackwater improvements extended
on the Monongahela, and Franklin was
the head of navigation on the Allegheny.

Why Not?

Apropos of Marion Crawford's remark
about our mustached buffers, that they
amused him after the shorn ones of Eng
land, why won't somebody say that our
butlers-our American butlers-wear
mustaches, and we, when abroad, find
it amusing to see the English buffers
smooth shaven, and wonder why their
masters do not insist that their mouths
be covered. VIII the time ever come
when we will dare TO be Americans?
There are great lessons to be learned
from the older nations of the world,
great models to be studied and wisdom
to be got from the experience which is
the accretion Of centuries, concerning
which the taste of one cultivated COM
munity is as good as that of any other.

The Cat Was Hungry.

y young lady bookkeeper employed in
an office at South Manchester, Conn.,,
has been in the habit for some time past
of giving the Office cat a piece of meat
for its lunch every day. Precaution is
taken TO lay piece of paper under the
meat to avoid greasing the floor. The
other day at lunch hour, when there was
no meat, pussy begged for some in her
most intelligent fashion, and at last go
ing 10 the wastebasket dragged forth
her regular paper table cloth and laid it
properly for the meat.-Philadelph
