Governor Charles T. OFerrali passed
through the city yesterday afternoon en-
route 10 Salem, where he is to deliver an
address The Governor took dinner at
Wright's restaurant, and seemed to enjoy
a hearty meal. He was asked by the re-
porter II he intended visiting Pocahontas,
and he replied that he did not; his trip
would extend only to Salem, where he
expected TO address the students OF that
institution. He also said, in reply to a
question, that go far as he knew every
thing was quiet at Pocahontas. There
was some reference In the course OF the
conversation to the opposition with which
he had met in his treatment OF the Poca-
hontas trouble, and as ne stepped on the
train the Governor turned to the reporter
and remarked that he did not think there
was the slightest doubt as to his being
justified In his course.

MUST KNOW THE STREAM.
The Information y Western River Pilot
Must Garry In His Head.

At the season of the year when the
river excursion business is at its height
and hundreds of boats are carrying
thousands Of people to and fro along the
entire length of the Ohio river from
Pittsburg TO Cairo many persons who
ordinarily never give the subject q
thought are impressed with the wonder
full way in which navigation on our
beautiful stream is carr; cd on. The first
thing noticed generally is the accuracy
with which the plot handles the boat,
avoiding the bars, which are near tho
surface of the water in the summer, 60
ing from CAo side OF tie river to the
other, and finally, without q iar, land
ing them all safely at their destination.
When the excursion business is over,
these same men assume similar positions
ON packets and tCwbo;;ts. carrying hun
dreds CT tons of freight and thousands
of bushels Of coal on every trip with the
same accuracy with which they handled
the excursion steamers during the sum-
mer.
A large number of the pilots running
out of Cincinnati know the river from
here to New Orleans, others from here
to Memphis, and others still to points
up the river as far as Pittsburg. "Know
the river" This phrase means much.
For instance, man running from here
to New Orleans must be able to take
charge of the wheel of his boat at any
hour of the day or night at any point on
the river and on any stage of water.
He must be able to tell at u glance ex-
actly where the boat is at any point on
this long stretch of 1913 miles. He
must know every bend and chute, and
by day the different points by which to
steer, such as houses, barns, trees, fences
and even haystacks; by night every
light placed by the government in con-
spicuous places as well as the hills and
their shape. He must know exactly how
long to hold the boat to one light or OBJ
ject before changing to another When
the Mississippi river is reached, new
feature presents itself in the shape of
the constan ly changing channel To
work here requires more skill and great
er Judgment probably than all the rest
of the difficulties combined Going
down boat may go on one side of the
river. Coming back it doesn't go with
in two miles of that place. When these
things are appreciated-and they are
only few of the things pilot must
know-then it is that the pilot gets
credit for what he does.
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1895-09-07

Bearing in mind that, as far as gen.
eral contiguration goes, the ground plans
of the present continent have been about
the same, only an occasional bit of land
havine been topped off, as in England,
the question arises, Is man an animal
of the old world or of the new? If we
descend from some anthropoidal ape,
then that Asiatic or African monkey
must have had fair hand, and, above
all else, working thumb. Baboons run
on all fours, but the gibbons, who are
arboreal and live on fruits, have nicely
developed thumbs and can pick a nut
and shell it neatly An American mon
key has not these exact capabilities He
does not depend on his hands to cling
to a branch. He uses fifth limb, which
is his prehensile tail. The true gibbon
is not, however, utterly nut or fruit
eater. If confined to that diet alone, a
strictly vegetarian one, he pines. He
likes eggs and devours small insects.
Vary his diet in menagerie, making
him slightly omnivorous, and his con-
dition improves If not, then, for these
arboreal ancestors, who had hands, we
might never have been. We may then
trace our origin from the old rather than
from the new one, but we really know
but little about the particulars. New

A Liar From Liarsville.

A farmer living near Pulaski, while
out walking across his farm one day last
winter, shot partridge, and on crossing
the Shenango where the bird fell he
stopped to pick it up, when something
warm and of a mucilaginous consistency
fell upon his head. This he soon found
was honey, and examination discovered
that the bullet from his gun had pene-
trated bee tree after passing through
the partridge. He returned to the house
and secured three large tubs and two
milk pals, all of which he filled with
honey.
While securing the honey he noticed a
peculiar movement of the tree, which
seemed to expand and subside at inter-
walls. Passing to the other side, wide
seam was apparent, and he learned that
the tree was hollow. From this he sue
