THE SULTANA WRECK
BONES OF THEVICTIMS RECENTLY EM
POSED BY THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER

POSED BY THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
In April, 1865 Her Boilers Burst and 1,5oe
River Has Now Undermined the Grave
yard Where Recovered Bodies Laid.
The boat lay in this port for several
hours discharging a cargo Of molasses,
and started up the river early on the
morning of the 9th. She had pro-
ceeded about six miles, being opposite
Hen and Chicken Island. when, with
out any warning whatever, her boilers
burst, her hog chains parted and the
shattered wreck caught fire. AS many
as l 800 soldiers were killed or drowned
as a result of the accident, and for
four days dozens of foaters were cap
tured every hour or so.
Many bodies were recovered near
the scene of the wreck, and these were
buried at Mound City. At that time
the people in this vicinity cared prec-
ious little for Yankee soldiers, though
they gave them a decent burial. No
tombstones were erected, however, and
the graves were not kept green.
When the Sultana's victims were
buried at Mound City the impromptu
graveyard in which their last sleep
was to be slept was far from the rivers
bank, but the Mississippi, seemingly
with a fiendish desire to claim the
bones of these victims for her waters
to ripple over, as they have rippled
fo .Hf n4h viz
tins of the same catastrophe, has
gradually worn away the ground until
now she sweeps by the graveyard with
a steady, sullen murmur, and bones
and ghastly sl.ulls look down on the
water from where they lie, few feet
away.
The wreck of the steamer Sultana,
which occurred on April 81, 1865, and
which sent a shudder over the entire
length and breadth of this land. has
been recalled by the action of the Mis-
sissippi river, on whose broad bosom
the catastrophe took place, and in
whose cold embrace hundreds Of SOL
diers went down to rise no more.
The Sultana was a very large Missis-
sippi River packet, which was engaged
by the United States Government as
soon as the Civil War was ended, to
convey Federal troops from the far
South to their homes. The steamer
took on a large number of troops at
Vicksburg, and took on several other
smaller detachments on the way up.
When she arrived here, on April 26,
she had 1900 Federal soldiers aboard.

An Old Watering Place.

The Oldest of Virginia watering
places, the Sweet Springs, was a select
and well known resort before the
White Sulphur had become famous. In
''the old times" the beauty and fashion
of the far south thronged to drink Of
its sparkling spring, and battle in its
limpid pool. 1t was then the custom
to visit the White and take the wa
ters for the benefit of ones health and
complexion, and afterwards go to the
"Old Sweet" as it was afterwards af-
fectionately called, for the luxury of
it's bath. Many dyspeptics took the
bath before breakfast, following it up
with a long walk, but the favorite hour
was (and is) about noon. Ther friends
gathered about the natural pool, the
water of which bubbles up from count
less springs, enclosed within high
brick walls, and, after a plunge in it's
invigorating waters. partook of the
famous Virginia mint-julep. Bellies as
well as beaux INDUCED in this practice
(about which, however, public opinion
has undergone a change, SO that the
mint-julep is largely a thing of the
past. The bath, though, is as popular
as ever; it has been compared by some
enthusiastic admirer to a plunge in
champagne. This exhilarating effect
may account for the gradual abandon
ment of the t-julep.-Lippincott

in Buffalo the other night than is ever
known to have been caused 'by one of
the animals. This particular muskrat
succeeded in cutting off the electric
light supply of nearly the entire city,
and it was an hour before the cause
of the trouble was located and re-
moved. With the exception of an iso-
lated district here and there the en-
tire town was wrapped in total dark
ness. Main street was one long avenue
of gloom, broken only by lights in
windows by private plants. Everything
had been running smoothly at the pow
er station of the Buffalo General Elec-
trio company when the startling dis
covery was made that the water in the
boilers and condensers was rapidly
going down. An examination of the
valve that lets the water in through
the big feed pipe that runs out into
Buffalo river was made, but the valve
was open as it should be. The valves
on the boilers and condensers were ex-
amined, and they were found to be all
right, too. The water in the boilers
dropped lower and lower, until finally.
in order to avoid an explosion, it was
found necessary to bank the fires and
shut off the draughts. This done, the
dynamos no longer supplied current
for the lamps, and the lights went out.
The trouble man was called to the sta
tion. He quickly heated the trouble
in the feed pipe. 1t was cut, and after
some fishing around he dragged a
muskrat out of the pipe and dropped
it on the floor.

The American navy has practically

The origin of the navy department
may be said to date from October 10,
1875, when congress authorized the
equipment of two cruisers.
The amount expended by the navy
department in 1897 was $34.56l SAC.

pended in any year since 1866.

Spring is the Time
When Impurities In the Blood
Should Be Expelled
AmerIoa's Greatest Medicine Is the
Best Spring Medicine.

In winter months the Precipitation, so
profuse in summer, almost ceases. This
throws back into the system the impurities
that should have been expelled through
the pores of the skin. This and other
causes makes the blood impure in spring.
Boils, pimples, humors and eruptions then
appear or some more serious disease may
take its start. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
remedy for impure blood in all Its forms,
as proved by its marvellous cures of blood
diseases. 1t is therefore the medicine for
you to take in the spring. 1t expells all
humors, and puts the whole system in good
condition for warmer weather.
