Mr.. Gambler besought the house to
spend a few dollars in improving the
Tombigbee river. Not only is 1t one
of the oldest rivers in the country,
according to Gambler, but it has been
travelling the even tenor of its way
ever since it was discovered. If it can
only be opened to commerce there will
be no trouble to navigate 1t, for" &C
cording to Gambler, there will be no
storms to disturb, no ice to block, and
the silvery moon will light up the
crystal waves by night and the sun
will lend its transcendent rays by
day"
Mr.. Gambler told the house that
1.-The river moves as when the red man
trod its banks, and lies like the sleep
ing beauty Of old, awaiting the magic
touch of improvement and progress to
awaken it to a new life" Mr.. Gambler
appealed for the magic touch, but the
house voted against him, and the crys-
tai waves of the Tombigbee will not
dash against the prows of progress.
