Steamboating on the Great River (Correspondence New York Sun) During the season of cotton shipping large steamers ply between New Orleans and "the bends." The steamers pool their receipts and districts on the river. The great cotton producing region is "the bends," and the largest steamers on the river are engaged in carrying the cotton bales from that region to the export port of New Orleans. These steamers also carry passengers. They are fitted up very comfortably, and the boats are far cleaner and much more sweet smelling than any of the hotels in the lower Mississippi valley. These steamers are manned by black roostabouts, who are hired in New Orleans for the round trip at a certain price per day, which varies as to the cotton crop. In productive seasons when the price is satisfactory to the producer, and every handling is crowded with cotton bales awaiting shipment and every planter is anxious to sell the boats are driven to their utmost speed and the work of the roostabouts is most ardious. Then they receive as high as $5 per day, but the usual wages are from $2.50 to $3 per day and board. The day is 24 hours long. A boat freighting from "the bends" to New Orleans during the busy season carries about 89 roostabouts. These men are armed with cotton hooks with which they handle the cotton bales, two at once. The game is at once begun. "Craps" is played with dice. They are shaken in the closed hand, and with a swing the hand is opened and the dice roll along the dirty table. The game, I am ashamed to say, passes the mental power of white men to grasp. I met no white man who understood it, and I utterly failed to understand the explanations of the negroes. This is the more humiliating as a "wild nigger," fresh from an alligator swamp, thoroughly understands the game and plays it skillfully. The edge of the fiery desire that possesses all black roostabouts to gamble is taken off with "craps;" then Spanish monte and seven-up are indulged in, and the gambling never ceases until all the money is in the pockets of five or six of the most expert gamblers. These men rush from the boat the instant it touches the wharf at New Orleans and hasten to the hair of the tiger. When they escape from the clutches of that animal they are penniless. The men are paid off before the boat arrives at New Orleans for the avowed purpose of having them gamble and lose their money, so that they will be ready to ship again. Smoking is strictly prohibited outside of the cabins on all steamers when they are loaded with cotton. Prevention in forcing this rule are the black roostabouts. Stories are told of their throwing black offenders into the river for this wrong that endangers the life of every person on the boat. The news spreads a fire. CHILD INCUBATION. Some Remarkable Experiments in the Artificial Rearing of Children The report of some remarkable experiments in so called artificial child incubation comes from France. The Glasgow Mad says that the immense success which has attended the artificial incubation of chickens in France recently attracted the attention of Dr. Tavernier, a learned and ingenious physician. He was attached to a hospital for foundlings, and was annoyed at the large number of foundlings who died within the first six months of their life. The majority of those admitted to the hospital were weak and sickly, and he resolved to try what artificial incubation would accomplish if applied to infants. The doctor constructed a child incubator on precisely the same model as the chicken incubator. It was a box covered with a glass slide, furnished with a soft woolen bed, and kept at a temperature of eighty-six degrees Fahrenheit, by the aid of hot water. He selected as the subject of his first experiment a miserably made infant, one that had come into the world at an injudiciously early period. This infant was placed in the incubator, and although it had previously been a preternaturally sleepless child, it sunk into a deep and quiet sleep. The child remained in the incubator for about eight weeks, during which time it never once cried, and never remained awake. On all Mississippi river steamboats, the Civil Rights bill is utterly ignored. Such negroes as may desire to travel first-class have a cabin to themselves. This cabin is built on the top of the white people's cabin. The negroes cannot drink over the same counter the whites use. If they wish to drink at the white bar they have to stand on the deck outside of the cabin, and the desired hipor is passed out of a window to them. Under no circumstances are they allowed to set their feet in the white cabin, excepting to go to the office to pay their fare. In the hold of the steamer is a bar where the negro passengers and the rostababouts drink. The deck hands are stalwart men. They work under the direction of the first mate, a white man, of course, who has a griff voice and a flickory club. They work on the jump. They move on the run. They are steadily sworn at, and the least sign of insubordination is promptly quelled by the active mate, whom constant practice has made perfect in club exercise. These mares are snappy, nervy men. They are often shot at or otherwise injured by the negroes but they always "get away with the nigger." The cotton on a landing stowed on the boat, the gang planks are raised by machinery, and if it is night the electric lights are turned out, and the tired nigger falls on the cotton bales and are instantly asleep. Two three; four miles, and then the hoarse whistle of the steamer resounds throughout the damp, heavy air. Instantly all hards are on their feet alert and active. It is night a blaze of light shouts forth from the electric lamps, and all is light as day. The beat savings to the shore of the immense ging planks are lowered. The instant the plank touches the land a column of black men run up it, and before the last man has set his foot on shore the first man are rolling cotton bales down the plank. There is no singing over this work. The work is too arduous to rejoice over. And there standing over them is the mate, curving and nervously swinging his club in a suggestive manner not calculated to cause a negro to burst into song. The last bale on productive seasons when the price is satisfactory to the producer, and every landing is grown with cotton bales awaiting shipment and every planter is anxious to sell; the boats are driven to their utmost speed and the work of the rostabouts is most ardious. Then they receive as high as 85 per day, but the usual wages are from $250 to $83 per day and board. The day is 24 hours long. A boat freighting from "the bonds" to New Orleans during the busy season carries about 89 rostabouts. These men are armed with cotton hooks with which they handle the cotton bales, two men to a bale which they roll down the gang plank and into the interior of the boat, where the hot air is doubly heated by the furnaces supplying heat to the immense boilers. The hold filled, the cotton is piled tier on tree, high above the lower deck, and in some instances, on a level with the top of the white calm. A large steamer can carry 7,000 bales.

The heat gings to the shores the immense gang planks are lowered. The instant the plank touches the land a column of black men run up it, and before the last man has set his foot on shore the first men are rolling cotton bales down the plank. There is no singing over this work. The work is too arduous to rejoice over. And there standing over them is the mate, curing and nervously swinging his club in a suggestive manner not calculated to cause a negro to burst into song. The last bale on board the gang plank rises, and down fail the exhausted roustabouts fast asleep the instant they strike the cotton bales. Oh, how I putted them. After the steamer leaves Vicksburg on her down trip, no more large quantities of cotton are taken on board, that district belonging under the pooling arrangements to other boats. The down trip is one of idleness mostly. There are a few mail landings where lean and apparently empty bags are delivered to dirty looking white men, the postmasters presumably. And there may be a few packages of merchandise and some "plumber" belonging to black emigrants to be discharged or shipped, but of work there is none. After the last landing above New Orleans has been made, the roustabouts march to the outside of the office to receive the pay due them for the trip. The bookkeeper is in the office with his account book. The mate is there with his time book and his club. He calls through the open window into which many pairs of black eyes inquiringly look, the name of the man on the head of his list and the amount due him. The bar-keeper calls out the sum the man owes him for whiskey. That amount is deducted from the roustabout's wages, and the remainder is handed to the mate, who counts it to satisfy himself it is correct. Then glancing at the negro whose outstretched hand is thrust into the office, he drops the broad silver pieces into his palm, generally accompanying them with a pleasant remark. These mates abuse and knock the negroes about, but they see that justice is done to them, and they allow no other man to abuse their hands. The negro grins in reply and hastens below deck. He clambers over the cotton bales in eager haste to the messroom of the roustabouts, and there he prepares to play "craps," the national game of Africa. As the other hands are paid, they, too, eagerly clamber over the cotton bales, and Jews placed eggs on their Passover tables, the Drients used them in their ceremonies, and the Persians frequently give them as New Year's gifts. If you should happen to be in Russia this month, a Russian would greet you on Easter morning with "Christ is risen," and offer you an Easter egg—and stranger still, if you were in the far East, a Mohammedan would in the same. At city confectioners, fancy sugar eggs—some of them of enormous size, and containing panamas of landscape and figures, or else filled with bonbons—may be had at all prices; but appropriate home-made ones are worth twice as much. To dye eggs, onion skins put in the water in which they are boiled will make them a bright yellow; or, if left longer in the solution a rich brown. Log wood or violet ink gives a royal purple. Coconneal, pink and crimson; and many pieces of chintz or bright rubber that faint easily, if sewed tightly round the eggs, will color them nicely in figures, stripes, or dots. Another way is to dip the egg into hot water, and then write a name or motto on the shell with tallow. It is then boiled in the solution of dye-wood, when the inscription will appear in white upon a colored ground. Those who are skillful with pencil and paint brush can present their friends with really exquisite souvenirs, by ornamenting eggs with flowers and butterflies, or appropriate texts of scripture. For these painted eggs, it is better to puncture a tiny hole with a pin in each side, and blow out the inside, leaving a clear shell, than to boil them; and the apertures can be concealed by stars of silver or gilt paper—AGNES CARE, in American Agriculturist for March. PHILADELPHIA, March 3.—While John W. Brown, Treasurer of the Guarantee Trust and Safe Deposit Co., was in the office of the President of that corporation, a sneak thief entered a private apartment in the Treasurer's office and stole $70,000 of consolidated five per cent bonds of the People's Passenger Railway Company. The treasurer had just taken the bonds from the tin box to cut off the March coupons and laid the bundle on the top of the box while he stepped into the President's room. When he returned the bonds were gone, one of the Directors of the Company, who was sitting in the President's room, informing him that he saw a strange man pass out from behind the railing. VIENNA, March 3.—Four hundred workmen were dismissed from the manufacture of firearms at Steyere on account of lack of orders from abroad. The total number employed will be reduced from 6000 to 5000. Many intend to emigrate to America. Their average weight was sixteen pounds only one of the entire 360 having attained a weight of thirty-two pounds, and there was not one who would not have been supposed by a casual observer to be at least three years old. In other words six months of artificial incubation did as much in the way of developing Dr. Taverner's foundlings as three years of ordinary life would have done. The infants were strong and healthy as well as big; they walked within a week of leaving the incubator, and most of them have since learned to talk. These results surpassed Dr. Taverner's most enthusiastic expectations, and there can be no doubt that his system of artificial child incubation will be adopted not only in France, but in every private family throughout the civilized world. Congressman Page Insulted. WASHINGTON, March 3.—In the discussion on the River and Harbor bill this evening Von Voorhees attacked Page, saying no one but a gambler and cut throat would have put in the appropriation for Sacramento to river. The words were taken down. McLane offered a resolution of expansion which was favored by many others who desired to give Von Voorhees an opportunity to apologize. Von Voorhees said he was strongly opposed to the bill, was not an orator, and might sometimes express himself unbecomingly in his remarks. He merely intended to characterize the measure under consideration and had no intention of being personal, had no ill-feeling against Page and desired to withdraw the expression and to make full apology to the House and to Page. McLane withdrew his motion of expulsion. Herbert, of Alabama, offered a resolution of censure; lost by 65 to 78. Members commented severely on Von Voorhees course. A man in gaping dislocated his jaw. A surgeon restored the bone to the proper position and made his charge, which the man thought too high, and refused to pay. The surgeon changed the conversation and soon told his best story. The patient laughed so heartily that his jaw became again displaced, and the surgeon reset it after receiving payment in advance. The comet won't be back for 4000 years, so we never can use it as an excuse again. GAZETTE. MARCH 10, 1883. NO. 22 NO INCUBATION.

It is well known to be a dangerous thing to ask too many questions in a Sundayschool. A clergyman recently went into his Sunday-school to talk to the scholars. "Now, my little dears," he commenced as he stood on the platform rubbing his hands complacently together, "I want all of you who never swear or use bad language to stand up." All but two small boys immediately rose to their feet, and although the teacher urged them to do likewise they retaned their seats. The minister cast his glances toward the little fellows, paused a few moments, and then, after waving back the children to their seats, repeated the request in this wise: "Now, all of you who love to go to Sunday school, who love the Savior, who love your parents, who nor do anything you know to be wrong, rose." Again all but the two boys rose in their feet promptly. "Little boys," then said the minister, addressing himself particularly to them, "cannot you rise; too, on that question?" "No, sir," promptly replied the elder of the two. "Why not; why not, boys? What do you think will become of you if you do all the bad things I have just mentioned?" The boys shrugged their shoulders uneasily for a few moments, and then when the whole school had summered down to a profound quietness the elder said saucily: "Well, sir, my mamma said that we should both be ministers one of these PACIFIC COAST NEWS. The celebrated case of Bidwell vs. Girl, tried in San Bernardino, has been decided in favor of Girl. The suit was for about half a million dollars. George F. Scott, Master of Golden Gate Lodge, F. & A. M., missing for several weeks, was found in the bay at San Francisco on Saturday. Several cases have recently been reported in at least two different places in California where a disease has been developed in children's eyes which closely resembles pinkeye in horses, and which thus far has baffled the skill of physicians. Chico is one of these localities. Laura De Force Gordon has received a dispatch from Philadelphia stating that California recently received the first prize of $100 for the best pound of silk cocoons. The premium is given by the Woman's Silk Association of the United States. Archbishop Alemany and Bishop O'Connell, of Marysville, have issued a circular to the Catholic energy dolling special prayers for rain. This is known as the old petendam prayer, and consists in the assertion of a collect in the mass and the recitation of the litany with the people after service. In and around Marysville and along the Feather river mud beds are destroying hundreds of dollars worth of grain. The Marva- It was a box covered with a soft cloth, furnished with a soft seat and kept at a temperature of 25 degrees Fahrenheit, by the aid of a sewing machine selected as the subject of a miserably made infant, some into the world at an inexplicable period. This infant was incubator, and although it had been preternaturally sleepless into a deep and quiet sleep, remained in the incubator for weeks, during which time it did not need any nourishment. It grew when at the expiration of sixty minutes removed from the incubator, its appearance of a healthy infant year old. Delighted with the experiment, Dr. Traverner an ordinary six months old to the usual pains and colds, the usual fretfulness of this child conducted itself incubator precisely as its predecessor. It never cried; it spent its sleep, and it grew as if it had to embrace the career of a six weeks stay in the incubation and weighted; during which it had doubled its weight, strong and healthy that it reared three years old, and it walked when holding on to a piece of furniture. These two finished Dr. Traverner of the artificial child incubation, by proceeding with the permission of the hospital, to incubator of the capacity of 400 units he placed every one of who were in the hospital on February last. Reception of one who died of procephals, and another who is repentant parents, the kept continuously in the incubation, when they were removed of having outgrown that result will seem almost persons who are unfamiliar with Dr. Traverner, and have arrived made to the French subject by a committee average age of the infants was 8 months and three days being less than 12 hours old not more than 11 months, weight was sixteen pounds, entire 369 having attained a two pounds, and there was could not have been supposed server to be at least three other words six months of station did as much in the way Dr. Traverner's foundings as ordinary life would have done. Are strong and healthy as well talked within a week of leavening, and most of them have no talk. These results surpassed Dr. Traverner's most enthusiastic experience. Again all but the two boys rose to their feet promptly. "Little boys," then said the minister, addressing himself particularly to them, "cannot you rise; too on that question." "No sir," promptly replied the elder of the two. "Why not; why not, boys!" What do you think will become of you if you do all the bad things I have just mentioned? The boys shirred their shoulders uneasily for a few moments, and then when the whole school had summered down to a profound quietness the elder said sanctely: "Well, sir my mamma said that we should both be ministers one of these days if we kept on."

A cutting remark by Ingerson to the witness caused an angry passage between the counsel, during which Merrick spoke of Ingerson as "a puppy," and Ingerson, his faced with anger, called Merrick "adherdy dog," at the same time involuntarily picking up a heavy inkstand. The Court finally restored order. It was greatly shocked and outraged. Merrick began to explain that he had been provoked beyond endurance, but the Court, interrupting him, said: "The language was excessible under any provocation." Merrick expressed his sorrow. No man had greater respect for the Court, and he would bow with submission to it. The Judge thought that it was due the Court that the remark should be retracted. Merrick said he would retract by direction of the Court, but hoped Ingerson would be asked to retract as well. Ingerson said as far as he was concerned he would willingly ignore any remarks, but he wanted it understood that no man could abuse him without resistance on his part. Said he: "I would do it at the day of judgment." If I were assailed by God I would defend myself with my purity power. The Court deprecated the bad temper displayed by the counsel all along, and after a partner explanation the affair was amicably settled, and the entire passage stroken from the record.
