Freighter was small, fiat bottom,

pillaged her of everything but the
hull, and that half buried in the sand

captain always claimed that if he had
started a month earlier his attempt
would have been successful.
The steamboat arrivals at Mankato
this year were as follows:

the west, 4 Jeanette Roberts, from
st. Paul 81, from the west, 8; Frank

The total arrivals from the Mime

year until quite late, the last boat to
pass down over the rapids being the

command of eighty soldiers, the most
of whom being southern men were
much in sympathy with their seceed-
ing brethren.
The City Belle made her first ap-
pearance at st. Peter and Mankato on
May 18th under command of Captain
A. T. Chamblin. She was fine side
wheel packet and about the largest
that ever entered the Minnesota trade.
The river though high in the spring
did not continue very long and by the
last of June became so low that navi-
cation above the rapids had to be sus-
pended The arrivals at st. Peter and
Mankato from below were as follows:
Albany, %; Favorite, 10; City Belle,
10; Jeanette Roberts, 8; Eolian, A;
Frank Steele, 3; Fanny Harris, l.

Boats below the rapids, however,
continued to run the most of the sea-
on, and the total arrivals at st. Paul
from the Minnesota were 31S.
The barges Of Captain Cleveland
were kept busy in the traffic between
Mankato and points below. The first
shipment OF wheat in bulk from the
Minnesota was made in June of this
year on one of these barges, 1t COM
prised A, 100 bushels and was taken
direct to Lacrosse. Heretofore it had
been shipped in sacks. Wheat also

river had been imports. but by this

and Mankato next morning. The river
was quite low this spring and none
of the larger boats were able to ascend
it. A number of small boats of light
draft were, however, put into the
trade instead, such as the Little
Dorritt, the Eolian, which Captain
Davidson had succeeded in raising the
fall before from the bottom of Lake
Pepin, where she had lain since the
spring of 1868, and the Albany, a
small boat of very light draft which
Captain Davidson had built the winter
before expressly for the Minnesota in
low water. The Jeanette Roberts
managed to get up as far as Mankato
few times, and once in July when
there was a small freshet, even to the
Sioux agency. After little rainfall
in June, the Time and Tide, the Fav-
orite and the Frank Steel came up as
far as st. Peter for trip or two.
Most of the time, however, the
AlDduy, WHICH, Guo Olu SoGLloIS usOO w
say only required light dew to run
in, was the only boat which could
float at all above the rapids. For a
time she supplemented the Favorite
at the rapids, but finally the water got
SO low that navigation suspended en-
tirely, except that the Little Antelope
kept her trips to Shakopee and Chaska.
Cleveland 8 barges (for now he had
two of them) had the monopoly of the
Minnesota river traffic for most of the
season. They could carry ten or twelve
tons each and were kept busy until
the river closed in November. There

Weber, captain, (who was now the
owner, having purchased her of the

Indians and traders that the upper
Minnesota was higher this spring than
it had been since 1891, and in April

After that, and before secession
was determined upon, he found il
expedient 10 leave Virginia; he
therefore broke up his private
school and when the civil war
broke out he was in North Caro-
lima. He enlisted in the Confed-
crate army, was assigned to duty
in the corps Of engineers under
Gen. Whiting, served all through
the war, and at its close was cap
tured at Fayetteville, N. c., by
Sherman in his celebrated march
to the sea. Shortly afterwards the
Civil war closed and he immedi.
opened a school in Fayetteville,

Attempting to find better condi-

Modern and Ancient languages in

His reputation soon spread, and
and when the A. & NJ. College was
organized in 1876, he was elected
to a similar position in the Texas
school, remaining with that insti-
tuition till 1880. After that time
he taught in Marvin College, Wax
Texas, till 1888, when he
became interested in publ Ii c
