Freaks of the Mississippi.


A humorist has said that the
Mississippi river is So crooked iu
places that a steamer going south
has been known to meet itself COM
ing north, give passing signals, and
narrowly escape Il collision with it,
self y Because man has never
been able to make the Mississippi
0bedient and content to stay In one
particular channel, many interest
ing geographical situations have
arisen. There are innumerablc old
channels treading back and forth
through the low lands, and when
ever there Is an overflow, or q parti-
cularly heavy freshet, the river is
quite liable to wander off down one
Of these old channels and leave some
shipping point high and dry. The
town Of Delta used to bethree miles
below Nicksburg, but a cutoff
changed things So it is now two
miles above that point. Another
little place called Blues PIT. was
formerly located i'm Mississippi, but
one spring when times were dull
and the river needed a diversion, it
changed its channel and transferred
Blues Point over to Arkansas. If
the big river had taken such a twist
between Missouri and Illinois before
the war, it could have removed
slaves from one State to another and
thus set them free.
Another pastime in which the
river indulges is island building. 4
snag in the river, the wreck Of am
old boat, or a submerged tree is all
that is needed for a foundation for
the brush and silt to settle upon.
Chicken Island, near Mound City,
Ark, and just above Memphis.
Tenn, was caused by the sinking of
the Sultana, a Union transport,
which exploded in midstream while
carrying troops home from the Civil
war. All islands formed in mid
stream are government property un-
til some squatter takes possession
Should the island build toward the
mainland and connect, it is prompt
