A 1.1.18 with :1. Hudson River
Steamboat Pilot.
, _ N.Y.Times.,
es,” said the pilot, sotting down his
night-glass, “I know every rock and shoal.
I ought to; I was brought up on the river.
Do all pilOts ? They ought to. but they don’t
always. Now right ahead of ’ us is a stretch
of two miles of deep water from bank to bank.
It don’t take no pilot to run there. . Any fool
could run her there. You could run her
, there yourself. But just beyond that is one
of the worst places on the river—broad and.
shallow, with a crooked channel not more
than 200 feet wide. There’s been more than
one—boat aground there, and more than one
tliat didher last mile when .she struck.”
While the pilot was talking, the big double
wheel kept turning and twisting under the
hands of four men. .
“ Why does it take so many, of us to man:
age the wheel? Yes, one man could turn it
very well. That is just now he could; but
the time might come when he couldn’t. How
so? Do you see . th‘at t‘o'w _ coming down
the river?-. Well, Some people haven’t no
sense at all. I’ve seen tows like that well
off from a steamer till they was most together
and then come straight in her way. Now,
suppose that tow should drop in front of us.
No one man could bring this boat around
quick enough to stop her from cutting thé
tow—it .would take all four of us, and be
hard work for us then. If everybody had
any brains this couldn’t happen. Besides!
when there’s a strong wind she steers hard—1
more than twiceas hard as she does ona
still night like this.” ‘
“Ever run into little boats?” Yes. some.-
times; generally fishermen. They come out
in all sorts of weather, in tow-boats, some-
times without any lights. When their work
is through, if it happens to be a heavy night,
they can’t find their way ashore and have
to stay out all night. Then comes the wliis-'
key bottle, and in an hour or so they don’t
know what they’re about. Even if they
started with a light, its very apt to burn out,
if they don’t watch it. After awhile, _if_
they’re not too drunk, they bear a noise, and
see a steamboat a hundred feet away, swbopf
ing down on them. ,Then they begin to yellé
and :we hear them, but what can we d025-
(5
We can’t see them or tell which way to turn; *
They think we ought to stop. and let themfi
row out of the road. Why, bless you, you;
can’t stop this boat in a quarter of a mile.
when she’s under full headway. So we‘
strike the boat, the paddles catch the men in
a minute, and the friends. of therfamily are
respectfully invited to attend the funeral;
Then the newspapers say, ‘crimlual careless-
ness of a pilot,’ and give us all fits. They.
think we can stop a boat as easy as a street-
CUI‘.
“ It’s getting cold here, and about two.
'tu'mblers' of rum would strengthen things
wonderful. But no man in this pilot-house
tastes any spirits while he’s on duty. Any
man that drinks may get drunk, you know.
and four. drunken pilots would make thingsi
hum. Why don’t I shut the window if it’si
cold? You can’t see straight through glass. ‘
If we happen to meet another big boat in a
narrow channel and run within twenty feet '
of her we must have a clear sight. If we
should see a little crooked we might have an
an accident. Accidents don’t pay, you know,
Keep the pilot’s windows open on the Sound
steamers? Yes, they do. When they meet
another steamer they can run off a mile with-
out any trouble. When we meet one some-
times we» can’t keep fifty yards away from
' her. Those men on the Sound'a‘re sailors,
and have rough work very often, but our’s a
a great deal finer work. We havesto turn
and twist and stop sometimes in little places
that would make a Sound pilot open his eyes.
“Those little lights, straight head? They’re
fisherme'i’s boats. All shad fishers. Fish so
late at night? That’s just the time they do
fish. They sleep all day, or get drunk, and
work at-finight. They’re out in all sorts of
weather, and nearly all the shad you cat are
caught at night. If the shad would go to
sleep like honest fish, they wouldn'tbe caught
so much. These lights are not all on boats;
some of hem are on floats, to mark theends of
the nets.
Jim Kerney’sjghost.
“ Can’t lick a ghost? Well, it’s not worth
while to argue it, for we did it, and we can
prove it. You see, Jim was a fighter himself,
And his ghost had to take after him. Tell you
about the ghost? Yes, if you care to hear it.
Jim was an old shad fisherman, and every-
body along the river knew him. He used to
go up and. down with as often to see how
the fish was doing at other places, and that
way we got to know him, too. He was big
and heavy. and always wanted to fight, and
we never liked him very well. He had a red
boat—said red was a fighting sign, and he
liked it. Everybody knew -Jim Kerney's
red boat, and most people kept away from it.
Well, one foggy night, we were feeling
our way up slow" just about here. and keep-
ing a close watch for lights, when all of a
sudden we heard a fearful yell.
1‘ 5A light on the port bow.’.eried the look-
out. We never knew it till afterward, lit
Jim and a fcllOw with him had a lantern in
the bottom of the boat to play poker by.
They leaned over so close they covered itlup;
but when they saw us, they showed their
light quick, and yelled very lively. The
little boat was so light she didn't break very
bad, but just flew about fifteen feet ahead.
bottom up, and landed Jim and._ the
other man in the water. . ' It wasn’t "ten
seconds before we reached them again. They
were a little out of our line, and this time
we didn’t strike them square, but just gazed
them. _ Jim and the other man had caught
the boat, and were hanging to her. Before
you could count five the wheel struck her,
and there was a crash. It madeso much
noise it drowned even-Jim Kerney’s swear-
ing. I know he swore fearful when that
wheel struck him, but we couldn’t hear it. I
should like to have heard what he said.
George here ran aft, butthere was nothing to
be seen but pieces of the boat, chewed up to
splinters, going down the river 'with the tide.
The two men were gone. The wheel uses a
man up powerful _quick. He never knows
what struck him. We stopped the boat of
course, but there was nothing to be found,
except Jim Kerney’s but, pretty near cut in?
two. -
“ It was a kind of relief to have Jim Ker-
ney off the river. We’d rather somebody
else’d killed him than us, of course, but it
couldn't be helped. We sent the hat to his
widow, and there was no funeral. We run
into that‘ boatjon the down trip. When we
got to the’ place where the accident was, there
was a red boat, just like Jim Kerney’s almost
straight ahead of us. It had no light, but;
we could see it plain in the moonlight-
There was one man in it, and he looked
wonderful like Jim Keruey himself. The
boys began to scare. Icould hardly keep
them to the wheel. The boat kept just far
enough from us not to be run down. I
could see that every man in the pilot-house
was as white as a sheet.
“I didn't feel quite right myself, but it
wouldn’t do to let the boys know it, so I
braced up and told th'em’ it was somebody
else’s red boat, and somebody else in it. I
had them pretty well quieted down, when,
all :of a sudden, littleBilly Johnson, the
youngest fellow in the pilot-house, not much
more than a boy, gave a yell, pointed town 11
the door. and tumbled over in a faint. We
was all pretty nervous before, but when we
looked round at the door and saw the hatless
ghost of Jim Kerney, just walkingin. we
were nearly ready . to follow little Billy.
That ’is', all but this fellow, (patting abig
handsome, [young pilot on the shoulder,)
Dave Bissell, from Baltimore. He was look-
ing ’at- the ghost as if he wanted to eat him,
butI said, Keep away Dave, don’t touch a
ghost.’ ‘
.1
And .spcaking about fishermeu’s
lights,here’s just the place where we licked , -.
- ‘matter of a large proportion of the people.
_ “ 'Ghost be ,’ said he. ‘ I can lick any
ghost that ever were a night-gown. - Look,-
out for-yourself, you cock-eyed spirit,’ and
he grabbed Jim Kerney’s ghost by the throat.
-I- expected to see him killed inaminute,
but he wasn’t. He was strong as a lion, and
before any of us had time to help him he
had the ghost down under the wheels giving
him fheavy senders north-east by east under
the eyes, and solid sou’-wcst whaeks under
1119 ribs. . It didn’t take him two minutes to
make the ghost beg.
“Of course, the ghost was Jim Kerncy
himself. It was plain enough afterward,
but it was a little scary at the time. He said
he’d come aboard to lick the pilot that
smashed his red boat. He had two red boats,
he said, but the one he smashed was his pet.
He didn’t mind, he said, going arormd inside
the wheel two or three times Zhimself, as
long as he got out all safe, but he had a
grudge against the man that smashed his
boat. But he was satisfied.
“ The other man that was with Ji-n in the
little boat on the night of the accident did
not get into the wheel at all. , J m was a
powerful swimmer, and as soon as he got out
he swam ashore, and helped his companicn
in. too. How did he get aboard the steamer
next night? Easy enough. He made good
plan to clean out the pilot, and spent money
on" it, but it didn‘t work. He sent his friend
down to New York City by rail, to come tip
on the boat. When we reached the place
Jim was out on the river in his boat, and his
friend was on the lower deck, standing by
the Stern-rail. Jim threw him a long line;
that gave the boat plenty of play, and he
easily caught it, and drew the boat up astern.
Jim jumped aboard, but he was in sucha
hurry to fight he couldn‘t wait for his friend
to come and help him, so he got thrashed-
They ~both went ashore about ten minutes
at rwards. There’s Jim Keruey’s red boat
no .

every night. I'm off duty now for the night,

Common Sense in Advertising.
We notice in the leading newspapers of
late a good deal of sensible talk on the sub-
ject of advertising. Much of it iscontribut-
ed by leading advertisers themselves, who
have had large and expensive experience,aud
have kept such a careful and intelligent re-
cord of the costs and results of the various
kinds of advertising that their testimony
amounts to practical demonstration. They.
have tried all methods, from the stereopticon
and the street-car placard, to the big white
painted letters on fences and the periodical
hand-bills stuffed with advertisements, and
shoved under the doors or into the pockets
of people who never open them. The testi-
mony of all these experienced men enforces
the conclusion that, for a genuine, efiective
advertising medium, which is sure to bring
prompt and liberal return for the money in-
vested, there is nothing comparable for a
esting newspaper, to which the intelligent
and well-to-do people of a community look
for news and opinions upon the current events.
We venture to say that every business man
in Cleveland, who has made a trial of the
various methods of advertising under discus-
sion, has reached the same conclusion. The
day of illustrated placards, almanaes, and
“advertisers‘s directories,” is past in this
country.’ The business has been overdone,
fortunes wasted in it, and the barrenness of
results from all such outlays has prejudiced
~ some classes of business men against the
whole subject of advertising. This prejudice
is, however, but limited and temporary, and
the tide of intelligent opinion is settling back
to first principles—that is, in favor of fresh,
well-written and attractive advertisements,
frequently changed in form and inserted in
the leading newspapers of the community
that the advertiser desires to reach.
Money judiciously expended in this way is
never lost, and it often brings a return of
ten, twenty, or fifty fold. The influence and
range of the newspaper are broadening and
deepening day by day. The journalism of
the United States has ripened and improved
in tone and character more during the past
ten years than it had done in'the previous
fifty. We are a busy people, and have little
time or taste for long stories. The increased
range and variety of the newspaper are
trenching upon the domain of the book pub-
‘lisher, the pulpit, and the lecturer. More
and more, year by year, the daily and weekly
journal is furnishing almost the sole reading
For exactly this reason its value as an adver-
tising medium is increasing day by day. We
say this from no merely selfish motive, but
because it is true, and it is to the interest of
business men who are preparing to spread
their sales to the spring breezes of returning
prosperity, that they bear it in mind.
' Money spent in advertising may be wasted or
bring golden fruitage, according to the de-
gree of intelligence with which it is dispens-
ed. Ptit it into a good, live, popular news-
paper, which will carry your advertisement
to the counting-rooms, the breakfast tables,
and the firesides of the people who have
wants to bc'met, and with money with which
'to meet them. This is the whole priceless
secret of successful advertising—Oleaeehnd
Leader. -
At a recent meeting of the American In-
stitute Farmers’ Club, in New York, the Sec-
retary presented the following paper giving
the origin of the club: .
. In the year 1843 the Rev. John O. ,Choules,
' while on a tour of Europe, attended several
‘meetiugs of Farmers Clubs held in England.
iHe was so impressed with the importance of
,establishing such societies in the United
{States that on his return he in conjunction

EChandler, Gen. Jas. Tallmadge, Henry Meigs,
jCol. Edward Clark, Gen; Jeremiah J ohuson,
‘Robert L. Pell, Prof. J. J. Mapcs, Horace
"Greeley, Nicholas Wyckoif, W. J.Townseud,
:Dr. E. F. Peck, Solon Robinson, Samuel
Fest, Judge Van Wyck, Dr. Underhill, and
others, members of the American Institute,
{established we believe, the first free'Farmcrs'
jclub held in the United States. All of the
'above gentlemen with the exception of two.
have passed away. '
The first meeting was held on the 22d day
of June, 1843, at the Pacific Hotel, in Green-
.wich street. The intention was to follow
the custom of the English Farmers Clubs—
to have a dinner after the meeting was held.
These meetings were continued at that hotel
for several weeks, but it was found that a
great number of persons attending the meet-
ings preferred to diueat home, so the dinners
were dispensed with, and the meetings were
thereafter held on thefirst and third Tuesdays
of each month in the rooms of the American
Institute.
The popularity of these meetings was
such that they spread over the whole coun-
try ; by these means farmers and such friends
of agriculture as were desirious of giving
and receiving information were brought
together, comparing and interchanging views
in relation to results of experiments made,
crops raised, care of animals, values of
manures and fertilizers, treatment of or-
chards, &c. -
By gathering experiments in this way,made
over a great extent of country, knowledge of
the most practical and useful kind is concen-
trated and then diffused.
' ‘hese meetings have been presided over
by the members present until the year 1863,
when the Hon. Nathan C. Ely was selected
as its presiding officer, who continued in
office until February 19th, 1878, when he
resigned, being elected President of the
American Institute..
Dr. A. 8. Heath is now its President and
Mr. Robert J.’Dodge.Viee President. _
Judge Henry Meigs was appointed perma-
nent Secretary in 1844 and continued in office
until his death in 1861, a period of 18 years.
when Mr. John W. Chambers was appointed
its secretary.

STALLIONS FOR 1878
HONEST MONEY.
The Opinftms of statesmen.
A paper currency is a great curse to any
people and a particular curse to the laborer
of any country, for its depreciation always
falls upon the laborer.—Andrew Jackson.
{Capital may be produced by industry and
accumulated by economy, but only jugglers
will propose to create it by legerdemain tricks
with pawn—Thomas Jefierson.
Paper emissions by the government are of a
nature so liable to abuse, I may say so certain
to be abused, that the wisdom of the govern-
ment will be shown by never trusting itself
with so seducing and dangerous :1 power.._
Alexander Hamilton. Q
It (paper money) tends to aggravate the in .
equality of fortunes; to make the rich richer
and the poor poorer, to multiply nabobs and
paupers, and to deepen and widen the gulf
which separated Dives from Lazarus.—
lemasH. Benton.
Irredeemable paper money “converts tle
business of society into a mere lottery; and
when the collapse comes, as come it must, it
casts laborers out of emplOyment, crushes
manufacturers and merchants and ruins thouE
smds of honest, industrious citizens."—
James Buchanan.
:Such a medium (irrcdecmable paper money.)
has always been liable to fluctuation. Its
value is constantly changing; and these
changes, often great and sudden, expose in-
dividuals to great loss, are the source of
ruinous speculations, and destroy all confi-
dence between man and mau."—-0/ulefJustice
Marshall.
A return to specie payments at the earliest
possible period compatible with due regard
to all interests concerned, should ever be kept
in view. Fluctuations in the value of our.
rency are always injurious, and to reduce
these fluctuations to the lowest point will
always be a leading purpose in wise, legisla-
tion. Convertibility, prompt and certain con-
vertibilily into coin is acknowledged to be
the best and surest safeguard against them.—
Abraham Lincoln.
The loss which America has sustained,
since the peace, from the pestileutial effects
of irredeemable paper money, on the neces
_ sary confidence between men, on the neces-
sarv confidence in the public councils, on the
industry and morals of the people and on the
character of republican government. consti-
tute an enormous debt against the states
chargeable with this unadrised measure.
which must remain unsatisfied, or rather it is
an accumulation of guilt which can be .ex-
plated not otherwise than by a|voluntary
sacrifice on the altar of justice of the power
which has been the instrument of it.—James
Madman.
As a very important source. ofistrength and
security cherish public credit. One method
of preserving it is to use it as sparingly as
possible; avoiding occasions of expense by
cultivating peace, but remembering also that
timely disbursements to prepare for danger
frequently prevent much greater disburse'
ments to repel it ; avoiding likewise'the accu.
mulation of debt, not only by shunning occa~
sions of expense, but by vigorous exertions
in time of peace to discharge the debts which
unavoidable wars may have occasioned, not
ungenerbusly throwing upon posterity the
burden which we ourselves ought to bean—-
Georgs Washington.
The very man of all others who has the
deepest interest in asound currency, and who
suffers most by mischievous legislation in
money matters, is the man who earns his daily
bread by his daily toil. A depreciated eur-
rency, sudden changes of prices, paper
money falling between morning am ,noon,
and falling . still lower between noon and
night, these things constitute the very harvest
time of speculators, and of the whole race of
those who are at once idle and crafty. . .
A disordered currency is one of the greatest
political evils. It undermines the virtues
necessary for the support of the social system.
and encourages propensities destructive to its
happiness. It wars against industry, frugali-
ty, economy, and it fosters the evil spirits of
extravagance and speculation. Of all the
contrivaue'es for cheating the laboring clothes
of mankind, none has been more effectual
than that which deludes them with paper
money. This is the most effectual of inven-
tions to fertilize the rich man’s fields by the
sweat of the poor man's brow. Ordinary ty-
ranny, oppression, excessive taxation, these
bear lightly upon the mass of the communi-
ty, compared with fraudulent currencies and
the robberies committed by depreciated
pawn—Daniel ~ Webster.
Salmon In the Connecticut.
The Connecticut river fishermen are quite
excited over the advent of salmon into the
river. I watched a party of them at hauling
a. seine at Old Lyme, Saturday night, and the
eagerness with which they inspected its con-
tents when they hauled in, was like that of a
party of gamesters. Hurriedly ignoring, for
the moment, .the handsome catch of shad
they had made, the owner of the seine‘was
greatly delighted to find a ten pound salmon
in his net and at once proceeded to put on all
the airs of a “coupon clipper,” over his fel-
low fishermen. Aud well he might, for his
one salmon was worth more than all the shad
caught in the haul, as they have been selling
at some 75 cents a pound. This price, how-
ever, cannot long continue as Mr. Silloway,
the genial clerk of the Granite State, tells me
that since the Kennebec salmon are beginning
to appear in York, the dealers who came to
the Hartford boat daily with inquiries for
Connecticut river salmon are reducing. their
former high offers, and that 40 cents will
soon be their maximum bid. The fishermen
claim, however, that the Connecticut river
salmon is so much superior to other salmon
as its shad to other shad, and hence hope for
a continuance of high prices. So far the
catching of them is a lottery in which but
few draw prizes, and our fish commissioners
claim that, if the fish continue to be caught
as now, they will soon disappear altogether,
and all the time and money expended in
raising them will have been wasted, at the
same time that Massachusetts, Vermont and
New Hampshire will have a right to claim that
they have been swindled by Connecticut, who
fails to protect the fish that they. united with

course they cannot mp 11 net so as to catch

the fish pounds at the mouth of the river, the
temptation is too strong to be resisted, and
that nothing but rigid legislation as to the
methods and hours of fishing will ever serve
to protect either salmon or sham—Hartford
