SALT RIVER.
II Is a Real Stream, Although Not q

II Is a Real Stream, Although Not q
kavisable One.
Salt river, sacred to defeated candi-
dates, is real stream. While not
navigable, 1t Is used every winter as an
ice harbOr by the towboats which go
out Of Pittsburg for the south.
Salt river empties into the Ohio
above twenty-five miles south Of Louis.
Vile. 1t is small stream, which flows
from the Kentucky hills to the great
water, and is as tortuous, as crooked
and as unpleasant to navigate as the
mind can imagine. Yet it is navigated
for a short distance from Its mouth by
steamers of light draft. Flatboats and
RATS are fioated down upon it's bosom.
Before the civil war it was an impor-
tant stream in the matter of bringing
Kentucky whisky down in the fat
boats to a point where they could be
unloaded to a river steamer Refrac-
tory slaves were generally assigned to
the task Of bringing these boats down,
as the work was arduous
Salt river became a bugaboo among
the negroes, and it was from the un-
pleasant character of the work on this
river that "a trip up Salt river" came
to be used in politics to express the
destination of a defeated candidate.
There is not river captain or pilot
in Pittsburg who does not know Salt
river, and there are few who have not
sought shelter within its mouth when
the ice was running out Of the Ohio.
The salt name is supposed to have
come from the salt springs which flow
into it at its source. 1t is also said the
name grew out of the fact that great
quantities of salt produced in the Ken
lucky country are fioated down this
stream-Fuel
