Some years ago several wealthy men
of Memphis built steamboat and named
it after one of their best citizens, Charles
B. Church. But in painting the name
on the paddle box, as they wanted the
letters large, they put simply the initials,
so that the name read sc. B. Church"
When the colored people first caught
sight of the boat, they puzzled themselves
not a little over this name. Such of
them as could read reasoned about the
matter at great length.
"What kind OBJ church am dat c. B.
church," they queried. What does de
G. B. stan for? OATS what we want to
know"
At length bright thought struck one
of them, and he exclaimed joyfully: II

The steamboat went by that name for
some time, until the owners, in despera-

tials and had Charles b. Church painted

rested in vessels, with total tonnage of
1850. 1t has branch yards in Europe
aud on the Pacific coast, and everything
looks as if Captain McDougall's whale
backs had future before them.
Captain McDougall is a man of strong
character and individuality and impress
es strangers with the idea that he is a
plain. blunt Scotchman, but his friends
say that he is modest, confding and
sympathetic. He is so years of age and
was born in the little villase of Port Ell
len, on the island of Islay, off the west
coast of Scotland. His mind always had
an inventive bent, and it is a significant
fact that as child he was constantly
whiting out miniature vessels and sail
ing them in the inlets of the sea.
The captains parents brought their
family to America while he was a boy
and settled in Canada. He took to sail
oring on the great lakes very early in
life, making his first trip as porter on
steamer that sailed between Buffalo and
Chicago. He first obtained his title of
captain when in command of the steamer
A. Scott, which was wrecked on Lake
Erie many wears ago

4 Swiss Colony,

There is a Swiss colony i'll Grundy
county, Tenn, which seems like Il part
of foreign country, so perfectly have
they kept up their native habits and Gus
toms and even style of architecture in the
building of their little cottages. There
are carvers there whose quaint work finds
ready sale. Marke" gardening is a fea
ture of the colony, and those who can
talk English take the produce to the
towns and sell it, Their wines have taken
several premiums. and it is rare treat
to go through their well kept vineyards.
One of the remarkable phases of life there
is the great age to which they attain.
there being several centenarians among
them and nonagenarians not being at all
uncommon. The mountains surrounding
them, while not SO high or grand as their
native Alps. are sufficiently steep to keep
them from feeling lonely for the sight of
their native hills, and none of them has
ever returned to Switzerland, although
Il number of them have grown quite
wealthy and could go if they wished.

Allen G. Thurman, ''the noble old Ro-

call him, takes life easily at - years of
age, living in Columbus with his chill
dren and grandchildren in splendid
stone mansion of the modern sort. The
modest old homestead, which became
so famous during the campaign of 1888,
will soon be thing of the past. A
hotel named after the judge is to be
erected on the site. In his new home he
spends most of his time in the library,
for he is still, as he always has been, a
voracious reader and student, though he
does not devote SO much time as former
ly to ponderous tones of legal lore. His
reading now consists for the most part
of poetry and French fiction, which he

faint yellowish glow over the bursting

The Blanchards do not keep house in
Washington, but live at hotel. Miss
Ethel, their beautiful 17year-old daugh-
ter, is pupil at fashionable boarding
school, and Ashton, the son. young
man of 10, is studying medicine at a
Louisiana college. The Blanchard home
at Shreveport is a spacious and beautiful
mansion, but the family is unable to
spend much time there except in the in
tervals of congressional sessions. Mrs.
Blanchard was born at Nacogdoches,
Tex, and reared at Shreveport.
