Big Water on the Mississippi in 1844.
Life in the Mississippi swamp is
unique, but, perhaps, never so much so
ns during that memorable summer. The
shallowest water, for indefinite miles in
any direction, was two feet deep,
the nearest land the “ Hills of Arkan
san',’ - thirty miles away. The mules
were quartered on the upper floor of the
gin-house; the cattle had all been
drowned long ago; planter, negroes
and overseer were confined in their re
spective domiciles ; the grist-mill was
under water, and there was no means of
preparing corn for culinary purposes ex
cept a wooden Uominy-mortar. The
hog-and-hominy diet (so highly extolled
l>y some people who have never lived
on it) was adopted of necessity, the
former being represented by mess pork,
suiter than tongue can tell. There were
no visitors, except now and then a so
ciable snake, which, no doubt bored by
swimming around indefinitely in the
overflow, and craving even human com
panionship, would glide up on the gallery
of some of the houses. There was no
means of locomotion except the skiff
and the humble but ever-serviceable
dug-out—nowhere to go and nobody
within a day’s journey otherwise or more
comfortably situated. Tho only sense
of sympathy from without was had from
remote and infrequent glimpses of the
gallant steamer J. M. Wliite, which,
leaping from }>oint to point, made bet
tor time from New Orleans to St. Louie
than was ever made, before or for many
years after.
That year, nineteen plantations out ol
twenty failed to produce a single pound
of cotton or a single bushel of corn,
and when the flood was over and tho
swamp Noahs came out of their respect
ive arks, they were, to say the least,
malcontent. They were not ruined, of
course, but they had lost a whole year’s
gross income. Moreover, the prestige
of the swamp as a cotton country was
wofully diminished. Tho planters in
the “Hills,” as the uplands are denom
inated, began to hold un their heads, no
longer overcrowed by the extraordinary
crops alleged to have been heretofore
produced in the swamp.
The sw r amp-planters set to work to re
deem the disaster, and to provide, as far
as possible, against its recurrence.
With the purpose of retrieving their
financial fortunes they took some unique
measures. There is a tradition that, at
a public meeting held in Green
ville, Miss,, in October, 1844,
among other more commonplace resolu
tions one was gravely and unanimously
adopted to the effect that a demand for
payment within twelve months from
that date of any debt, great or small,
upon any planter who had been over
flowed that year, should bo considered
distinctly “personal”—a clear case for
pistols and coffee. The code was cer
tainly a curious institution, but i>roba
bly this is the only instance in which it
was expected to do duty as a stay-law.—
“ The Levees of the Mississippi ,” in
Scribner. ___
A Texas Mother-In-Law.
A tall woman, wearing a sun-bonnet,
came into the office of the chief of po
lice, and sitting down hard on tho end
of a bench, wiped her nose, batted her
oyes a time or so at the chief, and asked
in a voice that reminded one of sharpen
ing a saw.
“ Be you the galoot who locks folks
up ?”
“ I regret to say that I am occasion
ally obliged to resort to such extreme
measuros with refractory persons.”
*‘ I know all that; but be you tho ga
loot !”
“Yes, madam.”
“ Why didn’t you say so when I asked
you ?”
“ I did.”
“You are a liar, aud if you don’t treat
me like a lady, I’ll fold you up and sit
down on you, ” and batted her eyes some
more like a terrier.
“What did you want?” asked the offi
cial, looking as if he needed reinforce
ments right away, and plenty of them.
“I want that dirty little whelp what
married my darter. I want to talk to
him on business, but he evades me. If
I could only get a chance to caress him
onoo more !” and she breathed hard and
gritted her teeth until tho official felt in
his.pocket for a police whistle.
“He told my darter he would give
three hundred and twenty acres of laud,
with a gold mine on it, to anybody who
would amputate my jaw with a boot-jack.
He said my mouth was like the gate at
the fair grounds. ”
“He meant, I suppose, it was never
•hut. I don’t see how he came to make
any such ridiculous comparison as that.
Did vou ever remonstrate with him ?”
“ You bet I did. I drawed him across
the kitchen table by the hair with one
hand while I blasted him with a long
handled skillet, and you should have
heered him oalliug me * mother darling ’
tud * pet, ’ but Providence was agin me.
His hair gave away, and he lit out be
fore I could reason with him any more.
Just as like as not we will never meet
again,” and she sighed heavily.
“Be calm, madam, do not exoite
yourself too much.”
“I am calm. I like to talk about
these family secrets. It calls up saored
recollections. It makes me think of my
fust husband. It was real fun to remon
strate with liim. He sassed back, but,
Lord, what a time they had holding the
inquest. That was at Arkansas, before
we moved to Galveston. There was some
of his remains in one corner of tho yard,
and a few more remains hanging on the
fence, and there was a right peart of him
wrapped around the ax handle. The
jury knew me so they brought in a ver
dict of justifiable homicide or suicide or
something like that And now to think
of this pesky, little, worthless, spindle
shaken, goggle-eyed whelp getting clear
off, excepting a few pounds of har. I
want you to find him. You can know
him by the brands I made on him with
Hie hot skillet Wanted to amputate my
jaw, the little brassy whelp ! Said my
mouth was like a gate, did he ?”
The official said lie would hunt for him
and let her know. As she went out, she
batted her eyes significantly at the offi
cial, and said :
“You had better find that prodigal
son or thar’ll be music in these head
quarters.”
An old angler says that a fish does not

The best part of man’s life is in the
world of his natural affections, and that
realm has laws of its own that neither
know nor heed king nor congresses, and
are deaf even to the voices of shouting
popular majorities, but heed and obey
rather the gentle voice of woman and
the cry of helpless and feeble child
hood.—Senator Bayard.
Why are you barbarously imprisoned
by your fears ? Why do you carry bur
dens all the day on aeoount of the fears
of an unexplored next day, next week,
next month ? Why do you fish on the
troubled stream of fear and bring to
land fish that have no money in their
mouth? Why do you not say, “Let
my life flow tranquil and pure in that
higher realm of faith and trust and let
the future take care of itself ?”
Stephenson When a Boy.
Railway traffic, as it exists, was not
even conceived or imagined a century
ago. The man who gave us wings, who
taught us to beat the racehorse, to sur
pass the flight of the swiftest bird, and
to make huge argosies, with multitudi
nous passengers, skim over the earth far
mere easily, swiftly, and obediently than
over the sea, was such as modern phil
anthropy loves to look down on as the
object of compassionate aid. He w T as
the son of an engine tenter at a colliery.
The surface works of a pit or mine may
be curious, but they are not picturesque.
It is hard to believe that the heap of de
bris and wrecked machinery now form
ing Sheffield Manor was once the most
pleasant of all the prisons of Mary
Stuart, But a hundred years ago the
colliery engine ivas a very poor, rickety,
asthmatic creature, compared with an
engine of these days. Puffing and blow
ing and blowing, shaking and clanging,
it was always more or less out of order,
to be stopped every now and then to see
what was the matter with it. Sympathy
is the soul of all goodness and greatness,
and, as a good shepherd must love his
sheep, a good groom his horse, and a
good sailor his ship, so anybody em
ployed on an engine must have a genu
ine affection for it, and a deep concern in
its troubles. He must learn to feel its
pulse, look into its mouth, and inquire
tenderly into its poor inside, if he is ever
to do it any good. There was much op
portunity for mechanical pathology in
those days. George Stephenson became
a little man, as a pit engine boy at 2d a
day. No wonder, when much coal was
sold only sixty years ago at 5s a ton at
the pit’s mouth. He had absolutely no
education in tho departmental sense of
tliat much-abused word. He only learnt
his business. That was all. At eighteen
he began to read, and had the luck to
fall in with two teachers, one of them a
Scotch dominie, who could teach him
something more. He then became stoker
and brakeman*—that is, he had to feed
the furnace and liberate or stop the rope
at the right time. Most men of genius
would hardly think it their proper sphere
to throw coals on a fire or to keep their
eyes constantly fixed on a rope going up
and dowm ; but George Stephenson had
to go through this ordeal, and found ex
ercise for his mind in it An opportunity
came. A condensing pump engine had
bothered the engineer. He volunteered,
for love's sake, restored the patient to
perfect health, and having reached the
root of the disease, effected a permanent
improvement in the constitution. Then
he became an engine man, and married
on 12s a week. So he went on, curing
the diseases of engines and wagon ways,
and took trains under ground. Indeed,
they would go anywhere with him. But
his benevolence was diffusive. He mend
ed everything that came in his way—
clocks, watches, shoes, and even the cut
of pitmen’s clothes.— London Time*.

The Origin of the Name “Artemw
Ward.”
There has been not a little specular
tion as to how Brown came by his nom
de plume , “Artemus Ward.” Dr.
Shattuck says that, having some confi
dential business with him during one of
his last visits to Waterford, he took the
occasion to inquire in particular about
it Brown said it was in this wise s
While engaged at the Blaindealer of
fice, in Cleveland, Ohio, he made the
acquaintance of an eccentric old gentle
man whose actual name wan Artemus
Ward, though assuming some more pre
tentious titles. This man was in the
show business, having a few “ wax Ag
gers ” birds, “ snaix” and a kangaroo.
While waiting on the printers for his
bills he amused Brown by telling an
endless number of anecdotes, all of
which were duly treasured up. Among
these were some of the incidents in
Brown’s article entitled “ Edwin Forrest
as Othello.” He referred to the follow
ing as one of the contributions of the
original Artemus Ward;
“Ed was actin’ at Niblo’s Garding,
but let that pars. I sot down in the
pit, took out my spectacles and com
menced peroosin the evenin’s bill. * *
As I was peroosin’ the bill a grave young
man who sot near me axed me if I’d ever
seen Forrest dance the essence of Old
Yirginny.
“ * He’s immense in that,’ sed the
young man. ‘He also does a fair cham
pion jig,’ the young man eontinnered,
‘ but ms big thing is the essence of Old
Yirginny.’
“Sez I:
“ ‘ Fair youth, do you know what I’d
do with you if you was my sun.’
“ ‘No,’ sez he.
“‘Wall,’sez I, ‘l’d appinfc your fu
neral to-morrow arternoon, and the
korps should be ready! You’re too
smart to live on this yearth.’ ”
The old man olaimed himself to be the
hero of this story. Brown, however,
wanted the credit of correcting the
spelling and of dressing the stories up
in good literary style. Pleased with the
name, he attached it to several of his
comic productions, and, finding that it
took with the public, adopted “A.
Ward” as his own.— Scribner.

We learn that Ellis & Cos., propaietors
of Bailey Springs, are making prepara

number of visitors this summer. They are
receiving communications from all over
the south inquiring rates and making con
tracts for board. This is only their due,
for not only are they most successful
hotel keepers, but their place is in every
way worthy of patronage. It is one of
the coolest, shadiest, breeziest places in
the South ; the locality and surround
ings are delightful; the buildings are
roomy, airy, and conveniently arranged;
the accommodations, fare and attention
are first class, and Shoal Creek is the
most romantic stream and the best fish
ing water you ever saw. Add to this
the unrivalled power of the old Rock
Spring ia the cure of dropsy, scrofula,
dyspepsia and diseases of the blood, skin
and kidneys, and the sum of attractions
is irresistible. If you have erm been
there you know this is all true. If you
have not, try it just once. You will
never regret it. Address Ellis & Cos.,
