Mr. Cobb has appointed Henry A. Peed of South Bend clerV of the committee on public lands.

He Couldn't Help It.

Philadelphia EveningNews. "Will you marry two durned fools?" was asked injustice Mill's court to-day by an old man who lacked only two years of sixty, and whose head was bald except for a small iron-gray lock that was combed down from the ball toward the forehead.

Beside him on a bench sat a rather lively widow of twenty-six. Both were poorly dressed. Justice Mills, who was just returning from dinner, looked around and replied: "Trot out your fools." "Here we are, squire, and tie us as quick and as cheap as you can," said tne old man as he stood up with the willing bride.

After a few preliminary questions the justice ascertained that the desire for marriage was mutual with the couple, and in a very few minutes he had them securely tied. The old man put a plain ring on the woman's finger, and after paying the necessary fee started away, remarking to her as she leaned on his arm: "I know I'm a durned fool, but I couldn't help it"

When wecontemplate the speed and comfort with which we may now travel, from one section to another, and contrast it with the modes of travel a little more than half a century ago, we are struck with astonishment at the marvelous changes which have been brought about. In these days, we looked upon our great rivers as the mighty channels bv means of which the products of one region were transported, to distant places and thus promote an interchange of commodities. The rivers are nature's highways, and those ancient inhabitants of America, the Mound Builders, were aware of the fact, since the ruins that mark the sites of their villages are enly to be found along the eligible shores of the great rivers and their attributaries. A simple raft furnished the first means of transportation this was followed by the canal, the flat-boat or broad-horn, the keel-boat, and those by steamboats. The latter were quite Bmall, at first, and only by degrees reached the size and imposing grandeur of our present river Doats and ocean steamers. After the successful experiment of Robert Fulton, in 1811, in applying steam to propelling boats, it was still many years of further experiment before steamboats were made that could successfully compete in economy with the common pirogue (a large canoe) or keel-boat, that was carried down stream by the force of the current and brought back, up stream, by means of cordelling. Tne rope "was sometimes made fast to a tree on the bank of the river, as far in advance as its length would permit, and by means of a windlass on board, the boat was hauled forward a cable length, and this is repeated until the swiftest parts •of the stream are past. Where the shore would permit and the current was not too strong, the cable was made fast to a check-post on deck and the screw would walk along the shore and "cordelle," or pull the boat along. In other places, and where the depth of water was not too great, the setting poles were resorted to. These poles were armed at one end with an iron spike andaturned-up hook. The hook served to catch hold of bushes and hold the boat in place. On the other end was a round knob, and the whole pole was about fifteen, feet long. The spike served to give steady hold on the bottom. There was on either side of the boat a plank walk about a foot wide, and crossed with cleets set at reg ular distances, to prevent the feet from slipping. Under reasonable condi tions a single sail was use'd. Besides the captain, there were from six to eight hands required to man a keelboat, according. to size and nature of the river to be navigated. The keel-boats of which I write were about the size and shape of the canal boats of to-day. When using the setting poles an equal number were placed on each side, and commencing at the bow they would place the point of the pole against the bottom of the river, and the other ond against their ehoulders, as soon as the leading manager of each side had taken a step or two, pushing the boat foi ward with all# his might, then the second and .third couples would follow in regular order, keeping step to the "Heave ahead" song of the leaders. When the stern of the boat is reached, they all walk forward again dragging the ends of the poles in thp water, take another set, and thus continue walking to and fro as long as the bottom was favorable for such work,

By the means here briefly stated, keel boats were run from Pittsburg to New Orleans, loaded with manufactures of the north, and brought back loaded with sugar, molasses, and other tropical products.

A great many keel-boats were engaged in the business, and they were to he found on all the streams that afforded water enough to float them. The crews were composed of large, strong, hardy, rough and reckless men. Card playing, gambling and drinking whisky occupied all their leisure time. They were ever ready to resent a real or imaginary insult, by a rough and tumble fight, or with pistols and dagger, and woe betide the unlucky man who fell under their displeasure. An insult offered to one was held as a wrong done to the whole fraternity, and sooner or later the offender was to receive a chastisement in one form or another.

As late as 1830, the Wabash river had its regular and transient keel-boats engaged in traversing its waters from Ft. Wayne to tne mouth, and from thence to New Orleans. Shawneetown, ten miles below the mouth of the Wabash, was a great rendezvous for keel boatmen. Hence they would congregate and get drunk and keep the citizens in dread of their lives and property, so long as the sprees would last no one being bold enough to resent their daring insults. In the early days of which I write, New Harmony, sixty miles above the mouth of the Wabash, was a question of considerable importance, and carried on a large trade with Yincennes and other towns in the upper Wabash, and was likewise a great stopp ng place for the keel-boats

In the fall of 1830 a number of these boats had met at New Harmony, and the crews, comprising some thirty or forty men, got on a big spree and concluded to take the town. They shouldered their spike poles, and tying a red shirt to one for a banner, they marched up into the town, blowing tin horns and beating tin pans for drums. They rent the air with yells and vulgar epithets and declarations that they would thrash the men and carry off the women. Fortunately for the town, they had a military volunteer company this was promptly called out by Captain Richard Owen, and the citizens gathering up what arms they could, joined the soldiers, and all marched to the defense ot their homes and families. In the mean time what saloons there were in town had surrendered at discretion, and the boatmen were regaling themselves with the fruits of their easy victory. When they saw that the citizens were arousing and preparing to make an attack, they contemplated meeting them, and standing in bold defiance across the street, with their spike poles held at a charge, each man lookinga Hercules in stature, they presented a formidable appearance. But when the soldieis came marching double quick down the street with bright muskets and fixed bayonets gleaming in the sun and followed by a crowd of citizens armed with rifles and shotguns, their courage failed and they broke and ran for their boats, closely followed by the soldiers, who demanded that they should throw down their poles and surrender. It was something over a quarter of a mile to where the boats lay and by the time they reached the levee that crosses the low bottom, bordering the river, they were overhauled and before they would yield, George White, (father of Lance White, the Evanaville druggist)

%r~±s- i*flE fERREflAUTE EKHR8S8. 8AT|JRPAY- MORN SR. DECEMBER 29. i88i

who lived in J&awneetbwn, but happened to be at New Barmonv with his wife on a visit t© her parents, ran his bayonet through the arm of one of the most defiant and abusive boatmen. The rest, finding that the soldiers and citizens meant business, laid down their poles and were marched back te the magistrate's office and submitted to a heavy fine for disturbing the peace.

New Harmony never suffered any more insults from drunken boatmen, but they wreaked their vengeance npon George White by setting fire to h:s large and valuable sawmill at Shawneetown, and burning it to the ground.

George White was a brave and fearless man when he could meet his enemy face to face. His father was a. captain under Gen. W. H. Harrison, and was killed at the battle of Tippecanoe, where Joe Daviess and so many gallant heroes fell. But he well knew that to rebuild his mill would only afford the villians another opportunity to do him a wrong, so he Bold out his home at Shawneetown and moved to JSew Harmony. The keel.boats were soon replaced by steamboats, and the people of the small river, towns were no longer in terror of their approach.

One of the boatmen engaged in the attack on New Harmany, John Leadbetter, a few years later murdered a man in White county, Illinois, and was hung at Carmi, the county seat. I believe this was the first hanging in this part of the country, and a great crowd was assembled from all parts, for a radius of more than fifty miles. The sheriff used a tarred rope, which was the only kind he could get, but it did the business nicely ana ridded the country of a dangerous villain.

President Arthur's Gifts. Washington special. Christmas at the White House this year was a season of quiet joy. There was nothing of a public nature, but it has just leaked out how the president distributed and received gifts. He gave his daughter a pair of diamond earrings, and Allan, who is home for the holidays, received a check for $150. To each employe of his household he gave $15 and a Christmas turkey. Alexander Powell, the president's private messenger, received from him a handsome gold watch and chain. It is said that the president received a half dozen gold-headed canes and as many Bilk umbrellas, together with wines and cigars. In the afternoon Miss Nellie and several of her playmates took possession of the mansion and made the East Room and adjoining parlor ring with mirth. 7

Mary Churchill's Private Apartments. Indianapolis Times.

Mary Churchill, the young woman who disappeared from her home in St. Louis in such a mysterious manner, and was afterward found working at the Insane hospital in this city as a domestic, is now taking an extended trip in Arkansas with her mama. Her father has just completed an elegant residence on Washington avenue, St. Louis, in which two of the best rooms have been allotted especially to Miss Mary, and will be her private apartments. One is. a large and handsome bed chamber finished in oak, and much more elegant than the other chambers, and the other is a library and reception room, the second floor front, adjoining hoi bed room. «Mie objectionable "piano occupied a prominent place in the reception room, and it seems that her papa will do all in his power to keep hia daughter at home.
