Maj. G.. A. Eandegrift, of the Board
of Administration who was eighteen
years in the lighthouse service on the
Ohio River tells of an interesting relic
of prehistoric ages that lies embedded in
the river embankment a little below
low water mark. The spot is a short
distance from Barton's Landing on the
Illinois side Of the river, nearly 800
miles below Cincinnati. There at the
rare intervals in which the river stage
is at very low point is seen protrud-
ing from the bank and inclined at 4
slightly upward angle portion of a
fatboat built of oak. The timberS, as
far as can be seen. are rough and ap-
pear to have been hewn with an un
evenly edged tool probably Of flint,
and are held together with wooden
pegs. The protruding portion is small.
but there is enough to indicate consid-
cradle skill in the fashionng of the
boat.
Maj. Eandegrift and several other
officers have seen it only few times in
the many years they We're employed
on the river. and once they examined
it closely. The wood is now as hard as
iron, and in a splendid state of pres
ervation. on account of having been
under the water for such a heightened
period.
From the formations Of the bank anl
the surroundings, which have not
changed in the slightest within the
memory of man. the Major thinks the
subsistence that buried the boat under
the embankment must have taken
place ages ago. When telling of it he
said he has often regretted that he did
not make an effort to have it removed
| and placed in museum. Such action
may yet be taken when the fact of the
| boats existence and location becomes
more generally known.-Cincinnat
| Commercial Tribune.

Gone Into Camp,


Thin are the blue-clad ranks to-day, once
half million strong.
And slow and feeble are the feet that
once marched far aud long;
Once more together they will march with
slow, uncertain tramp.
To see their comrades who have gone
before them into camp.
The tents are spread-the low. green
tents. whose curtains tightly close;
No reveille will waken those who sweetiy
here repose;
No more their weary feet will toll DER
highways rough and damp
For them the long. hard march is done,
for they've gone into camp.
Their comrades come with songs and flow
ers. the banner Of their love
Floats proudly out upon the air. their low,
close tents above;
All, many a mile they followed it with
strong and steady tramp
Before they heard the order given
Break ranks-go into camp"
Soon all the weary feet will halt, the las,
march will be made,
For them the low, green tents be spread
on hillside or in glade;
No more together they will march with
slow and broken tramp
To all the order will be given: "Break

Killed by Them.

A remarkable cause of death from
fright was the case of the famous
painter Poutman. He was at work in
his studio, where there were a number
of deaths heads and skeletons, when
he happened to fall asleep. During his
sleep there was slight shock Of earth
quake, and when he woke up suddenly
he saw the skeletons and skulls dancing
round in the greatest confusion. He at
once became panic-stricken, and rushed
across the room and threw himself out
Of the window on to the pavement be-
low. He died in a few days after, not
from injuries received in the fall, but
from the nervous shock given by the
dancing skeletons, though the cause Of
the festivity was explained to him.
