There is perhaps not more grandly
picturesque scene in the world than
that on the majestic Mississippi river
from New Orleans to Vicksburg. The
river averages width of from half a
mile to one mile, and, ascending, there
is an unbroken and continuous plain
for $50 miles. Only two small streams
intersect the river, and these, SEEM
ingly. only to find a shorter way to the
Eulf. The indentures along the coast
are SO small that the traveller scarcely
notices them. No hill breaks this vast
plain, which presents a panorama of
green foliage of trees and shrubs
which surround the plantations of
greening sugar cane. golden corn and
niles of whitening cotton bolls. These
immense plantations extend along the
river banks in almost continuous line,
and near the center of each is the
stately southern mansion, with white

magnificent oaks-the central picture

one. AT this season the waters rise
to the top of the levees. when the pass
ing steamer is above the level of the
fields. seemingly sailing along in the
air. The passenger looks down upon
the pretty mansions half concealed
amid the Druidical oaks, as he views
the broad expanse of beauty from the

than in any other section, the numer-
Gus rivers affording nearly all Of the
means Of transportation. Those living
on the borders Of the great Mississippi
ard its numerous tributaries 1pT preferred
travel by steamer, which having most
excellent accommodations rendered
the trip luxurious. The steamers were
large, elegantly furnished and indeed
were floating palaces" They cost
from 100000 to S25O.O00 and more,
were models in design, and specially
constructed with a view to accommoda-
ton and speed. There was great
rivalry between them in this partic-
ular. The tables were unsurpassed by
any of the first-class southern hotels.
and there was dancing every evening in
the richly-furnished ladies' cabin, or
salon; and in the afternoon there was
musical concerts. Each steamer car
ried brass and string band. On near
ing a landing the steam calliope
opened with popular air, which
brought the natives to the 'levec."

steamer. When the steamer remained
a few hours for the purpose of taking
on several hundred additional bales Of
cotton, or hogsheads of sugar, the la
dies and young men Of the village were
invited aboard. and there was ''cotil-
lion Dance" during which there was
a luncheon of wine, cakes, fruits. etc.
Hospitality was unbounded; it verged
on reckless extravaganza. And it was
spontaneous, general and gracefully
extended, not as an outward form or
mere ceremony. but a genuine hospital
ity. With such luxurious living and
cordiality the trip by steamer was only
too short. On the contrary. one looked
forward with pleasure to the time when
business, or perhaps some excuse,
should again call him to the city. The
trip from Vicksburg to New Orleans
was usually made in IS hours. the dis
tance being ESQ miles. But If there were
many stoppages for sugar and cotton.
it lasted longer. The travellers did not
complain, however, as rule-their
fares had been paid, and they would
surely eat more than their moneys
worth" The average capacity of these

ton from the rich bottom lands which
neither railroads nor large steamers
can reach. They serve as feeders
for each other. On these river bottoms
are farmers of moderate means and q
large sprinkling of colored people.
The rich land produces about two
bales to the acre. The colored man
prefers the bottom lands. where he can
fish and hunt; he likes the "bayous,"
lined with blue-gums and tangled vines
and loaded with wild fruits, which
grow there in such profusion. He has
a "ca bin" and srents" a mule, paying
about one-haf Of its value for one
years service. When the crop has
been gathered he turns the animal
loose to look out for its own welfare.
He reasons that it Is .only hired
mule" but does not figure that two
crops will pay its full value, and then
it is not his. This is one cause for the
darky being always in debt. The
white man, knowing how the average
darky will treat mule, charges ac-
cordingly.
The Mississippi river planter en-
ploys from 100 to 500 colored 1aborers,
and mules in proportion-5oo or 1000
Memphis is the principal mule market
for this section of the Mississippi val
ley-about $1.5o0.OOO being expended
yearly. Missouri. Texas and North
Louisiana mainly supply the vicks-
burg district with mules and horses.
The demand is large and continual, be-
cause the poor mule does not receive
much better treatment from the large
planter than from the improvident
darky. When the crop has been gath

feed 500 mules during the winter would
cost a certain large sum; next spring
he can perhaps purchase others at the

Of the present II mainly limited to
those points not reached by railroads,
and many Of the planters do not care
for q railroad as long as they have \
''river at their DOORS" The freight
traffic is large, however, and the
steamers DO a very profitable busi-
ness.
One of the first railroads built in Mis-
sissippi, and among the first in the
south, was narrow-gauge short line
from Grand Gulf to Port Gibson
about ten miles. The object was to
tap the immensely productive cotton
plantations and bring the staple to
Grand Gulf landing for shipment.
Grand Gulf was at that time larger
than Natchez. Or, rather, the road
was constructed only in part. The
track hsd been laid about half way
when an unprogressive land owner de-
MED it the right Of way, tore up some
of the rails, and by the invocation OF
shotguns and injunctions delayed its
completion for several years.
In looking over some family records
I find that my father was one of the
originators of the enterprise, his books
showing large advances of moneys.
The road was begun in 1888. The great
panic following wrecked the fortunes
of those connected with It and the
country generally. The road. however,
was completed, and made the fortunes
of the new stockholders. The charge
was one dollar a bale for cotton and
one dollar for each passenger. Being
novelty, many came from all sec
tions merely to see it and take ride.
An old citizen, in talking of the little
road, said to me: 'When i was a
young man took trip on that road
from Port Gibson to Grand Gulf; but.
had I been in hurry, would have
taken a buggy" The road was de-
stroyed during the war at the time
Grand Gulf was burned. The road
was rebuilt, and finally was bought
and destroyed by competing road.
Some of the old rails are still in po-
sition. Grand Gulf many years ago
lost its commercial advantages; in
fact, nearly all of it caved into the
river. ard now it is unsafe for steamers
10 lanu there. nc-d thus has passed
away the historic railroad and one OF
the best cotton shipping towns on the
Mississippi.
The Mississippi river steamers of to.
day. however, greatly aid the railroads
in bringing cotton from points not
reached by them. And the steamers
are aided by smaller class which as.

POOR PAY FOR HARD Toll.
Try Desperately to Better
Their Lot.

The masses of statistics in the re-
port of state officials are not inviting
to the general leader, but some of the
figures in the report of the state mine
inspector just published are sug.
gestive.
From the returns made to the office
il is gathered that the average time
worked in 1897 was 1904 days, or less
than half the number of working days
in the year. The average daily wages
during the time worked was S1.27. but
taking the year through the average
amount actually received was but sic
per month. which was nearly $3.50 per
month less than was received in either
OF the two preceding years.
The lower average in 1897 was due to
the long strike caused by the endeavor
Of the miners to get better pay.
While there was partial advantage
gained in the rate of pay, there was
An actual loss in the amount received.
Taking the rate of the two years
preceding, when the average monthly
earning was s1S.47. it will be seen that
The return to the working miner for
his hard toll was miserably poor and
II is not to be wondered at that he
should make desperate efforts to bet
ter his spt. But the Ohio miner is, as
rule, in better. condition than his
Pennsylvania fellow laborer in the
coal mines.
Competition among the operators
sometimes forces the price of coal
down and every person naturally
wants to get his fuel at the lowest pos
k,ble rates. but the shave in prices to
the consumer cuts off slice from She
none too large loaf of bread on the
scantily furnished table of the miner.
The consumer gains at the cost of the
producer, and it is a serious question
whether the community at large is
benefited or injured in the end.-Cleve-

YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in ad-
vanced years are realized by compare
lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to Sc
rious troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all com
bine to shorten the period of usefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
GUS health in old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly com
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is letter from Mrs. j. c. Orms, of 220
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel it my
duty to tell all suffering women that /
think your remedies are wonderful. /
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies l am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. L can eat and
sleep well and am gaining in flesh. l
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles
The present Mrs Pinkham's expert
cnce in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia f. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand ailing
women during a single year.
