COOPEfl AND WOrtDSWOrtTH.
n fiitervleiv ssllh the Aged l(oet n Ytn
Yeisra llefore III. Ilealli.
Tliomas Oooper, the voteran clinrtlst.
who has received a grant of 800 from the
Civil List, had, on one occasion, a very
interesting interview with Wordsworth
at llydal Mount. Cooper had been at
Carlisle and started on a walk throngh
tho Lake country.
It was on the third tlay ufter leuvinu
Carlislo that Cooper arrived at llydal
Lake. He was very anxious to fo
Wordsworth and have n talk with him.
but, not kuowiug the poet and having
no Introduction, was rather doubtful as
to what the nature of his reception might
be. But, sunimouins all tho courage nt
his command, he boldly strode up to the
poet's door nud knocked.
Iu reply to nn innuirv he was told that
Wordsworth was nt home; so he wrote
on n slip of paper, "Thomas Cooper,
author of -The Purgatory of Suicides,'
desires to iiy his devout regards to
woruswortli. In n very tow minutes
ho was in tho presence of tiio "majestic
old man," and was bowing with deep
nnd heartfelt homage when WordMvortli
seized his hand and welcomed him with
such a hearty "How do yon do? 1 am
very happy to soo you," that Cooper snys
tho tears stood in Ids eyes for joy.
Nothing Btniclc .Cooper ro lunch in
Wordsworth's conversation us his re
mark concerning chartism after tbe
subject of Cooper's imprisonment had
been touched upon. "You were right,"
Wordswoith said; "1 havo always said
tho people wero right in what they asked;
out you went tno wrong way to tret it.
There is nothing umeiiMinablo in your
charter. It is tho roolit.li attempt nt
physical force for which many of yon
uave ueen uiamniuo. liy and by the
conversation drifted to other subjects.
liiero was but one occasion, savs
Cooper, on which 1 discerned tho feeling
of jealousy in him; it was when I men
tioned Byron. "If thero were time," he
said, "1 could show yon how Lord
Byron was not so groat n poet us you
think him to bo but nevor mind that
now." I luvd jnst been classing hla owu
sonnets and "Childe Harold" togother
as the noblest poetry since "foradise
ijost, unt UM not reassert what 1 said.
"I am pleased to find," he said, while
talking about Byrou, "that you preserve
your muse chaste nnd free from rank
and corrupt passion. Lord Byrou de
graded poetry iu that resjicct. Men's
hearts are laid enough. Poetry tdionld
refine and purify their natures not
niako them worse."
Wordsworth's oniniou on Teunvsim ia
interesting. Cooper asked the poet what
his opinion was of the poetry of the day:
"Thero is little that can lie called high
poetry," Wordsworth said. "Mr. Ten
nyson affords the richest promise. He
will do great things yet, nnd ought to
havo done great things by this time."
"tils sense or music, I observed,
'seems more iierfect than that of anv of
the new raco of poets."
'es,' Wordsworth replied: "the per
ception of harmony lies iu the' very es
sence of the poet's natuie, nnd Mr. Ten
nyson gives magnificent proofs that he
is endowed with it."
Wordsworth spoko of Southey in the
highest terms, nut) naiu reverted to
polities. "There will lie great changes
on tho Continent," he said, "when tho
present king of tho French dies, but
not whilo ho lives. The different gov
ernments will have to give constitutions
to their iople, for knowleslgo is spread
ing, and constitutional lilierty is sure to
follow. onlsworth also alluded to
the spread of freedom 111 Huglaud, and
descanted with animation on tho growth
of mocliaulcs and similar inatttutious.
"The lieople are sure to huve thefran-
chiae," lie said with emphasis, "as knowl
edge increases; but you will not get all.
you seek at once, and you mnst never
seek it agalu by physical force," he
added, turning to ine with a smile; "it
will only make you longer niwut it."

THE BOY BOATMAN.
A large pair of benvily laden coal
boats, or "broadhonis" ns they were
termed, swept out of the Ohio and.
catching the current of the mighty Mis
sissippi, began tho second stage of the
ourney to fcew Orleans.
The lumbering, cumbrous crafts had
come all the way from Pittsburg under
tuo commanu or Joe irlck, a most skill
ful pilot. These coal boats were pecu
liarly constructed vessels, but they are
now things of tho liust, their places beine
supplied by large targes, which are
towed back and forth by steuinerB.
They wero built of 1-inch pino boards.
carefully selected, and nny piece of lum
ber containing but a singlu knot was re
jected. No nails weio used in putting
tho timbers togother. but wooden pins
wero cnlled-for.
These frail vessels were loaded ilcen
with coal from the mines, then two
were lashed together ride by side, nnd
with n crew of thirty-five or forty men
would float serenely down the Ohio nnd
Mississippi to their destination.
Tho day in which our story onctis Joe
Irick was standing iu the stem of one of
tho boats, with the long steering oar in
nana guiding his broadborn on its way.
Berido him was n lad about sixteen
years of ago, n handsome, intelligent
looKing uoy, who seemed to be wrapped
In wonder and admiration at tho sublim
ity of tho scene that stretched out liefore
him.
Well, Jimmy, my son, we're on tho
old Mississippi onco more. Let me seo;
this is tho third time for you, isn't it?"
ics, uncle, j-ou know you have taken
mo twico yourself to New Orleans."
lliat s n fact, Jim. But you see I m
getting old and nin apt to forget little
things like n trip down river. Now 1
couldn't tell within fifteen or twenty
how many times l'vo been down stream."
Hint s not to be wondered at," re
turned the boy, respectfully, "for you
wero n pilot long lieforo I was born.
unt, look, yonder comes a high pressnro
boat up stream," and Jimmy pointed to
a denso cloud of black smoke which was
pouring out of the double stacks of n
argo steamer that was approaching.
Let her come, any lad, let her come,
She's got to keep out of our way. Now,
what woufd you say," continued Irick.
if I could toll you thaname of that craft;
and, what's more, the name of the man
who Is looking nt us now out of her
pilot house, and likely enough srieblng
us sasav ietm among tno caunn lor
presuming to get in his coarse. Yes,
my son, that's the Hirer Queen, and
John Williams is her pilot."
How can you be so positive nt such a
distance?" asked the boy, his gaze still
riveted on tho boat.
Listen to tlutt exhaust," nnd Joe
Irlck turned his head so as to better
catch tho peculiar sound. "There isn't
another 'hooker' betwixt Cairo and the
Gulf with sucli ft voice nt that. Now
you'll seo when we meet Williams, he'll
lay tho filter Queen as close tn this
broadborn as he dates to. It's an old
trick of his. He thinks to frighten ns,
but hero's a boss that don't frighten so
easily. 1 tell you one thing, Jimmy,
ho 11 cut up tl'nt oaper once too often,
and when l.o sends n pair of boats with
their freight to tbe bottom of tbe
Mississippi I'm under the impressiou
that tho owners will fire him ashore on
tho bank, and then he'll have to take to
coal boating himself, liko tho rest of us."
Uy this time the steamer was within a
few yards of our friend, when bhe was
seen to change her course a fraction.
"There, boy, didn t I tell you? Jack
Williams has starb' ed his helm, think
ing to raise our hair!" Then in a loud
voico, which could have been heard
from one side of tbo river to the other,
Joo called'.
Ilnlloa, Williams! Up to your old
tricks again? 1 reckon yon wouldn't
havo taken the trouble of changing yonr
course If you'd a known Joe Irick was
on board here. He don't belong to the
scary breed."
Howdy, Joe, re tunic I the man in
the steamer's pilot house. "Oh, no, 1
don't want to crowd you into the bank.
There's room enough on the stream for
two suou fellows as you and I.
As Irick was about to answer, a a lull!
scream was heard, issuing from tbe
after part of the steamer, and the same
Instant ft child was seen to fall from tbe
rail ot tho hurricane deck to tbe water.
In a teoond Jimmy, tho boy boatman,
sprang across the coal until he reached
the edge ot the broadborn, and then
plunged head foremost into the muddy
current.
The heavy boats wero drifting fully
fivo miles an hour, while the steamer
had been making equally good time
up against the stream; consequently,
when tbe brave lad reached the little
girl, his own craft as well as tbe River
Queen were some distance away.
Joe Irick was almost as quick to act
as bis nephew. Calling to the "second
pilot" to take the steering oar he picked
up the littlo skiff, that is always carried
nn top of the coal, la i it, and seat
Ing himself upon tho th art held it iu
poeitiou until the rescuer and his burden
drifted dowu within his reach.
Extending his hand, Joe seised the
child and drew it into lite boat, saying
to Jimmy as he did so
"You get hold of tho st-rn and han
en there until I cm pull down to the
broadhorn. You won't get uny wetter
than yon are now uud thei o'a no danger
of tho eels n-nibbliu at your lot -.'
"All right. Uncle Joe. Hunt ' tlur
about me. I can otil.uul the InuU lit
fore you, now" And iho buy x.iikuig
out vigoroualy actually did leao the
skiff behind in the race down the nt ei
When the broadliorn was reached the
little maiden, in her dripping garments,
was lifted carefully and deposited on a
blanket, which some thoughtful 'm m
ber of the crew had spread ou top of the
coal.
Joe came on board, and resuming tin
bteenng nnr ordered:
"Two of you fellows take the skiff
and run a hue down and make it fast to
that big tree on the Kentucky bank
We'll tie up and give Jack Williaatu a
chance to come back and pick up his
passengers that he' scattering aronn.l
so careless like."
It Was a difficult Uk to lay the t v.. .
heavy boats alongnide the shore without
sustaining any iujui) , for tin v were
frail that tin- h-u-t tout h upoti a lock "r
snag would have meant instant ih-rtru
tton
Wheu the pilot raw that ttu hi., hail
been properly teamed he sent his acni-t
ant forward tu the "gouging oar," while
be himself wielded tbe "stoerer," and
his men pulled lustily at the an cop. to
swing the Im.u of the imudhoru up
stream. The.i us ilu, innet liout tugst!

Tilts work oomplAled, Joe" turned his !
attention to tne little sufferer, by whose
Hie his nepheiflssxl remained, endeavor
ing to quiet her hysterical sobbing, ami
to nature her that she need not fear,
that all danger was mat
" 'Pears to me, little one, yon took n
mighty sadden bath," said Irick. with n
smile, ' as lie looked down at the tear
stained face of the child.
"Oh, sir, it was torriblot I was reach
ing over to look at yonr boats ns they
paesed when I lost my balance and fell."
"That's it," returned the pilot grimly,
"If Williams hadn't lieen a-t-iittlng tip
his capers and kept his vessel whore it
belonged, yon wouldn't have hail to
reach clear over the side in order to see
a couple of heaps of coal and a nnmlwr
of ragged boatmen going by yon. But
ltere comes tho Hirer Queen after ns,
and you'll Boon he safe and sound with
your friends ngaln, my little one."
"Oh, yes, and I hare you to thank for
saving ine," replied the maiden, looking
at Jimmy in such a manner ns to cause
tho warm blood to mantle the boy's
cheek. "Papa will beery grateful to
you, and I know when he ooines to tako
mo away he will give yon n handsome
present."
"Oh, I could not thiuk of accepting
anything in payment of n duty which
plainly devolved upon mo," stammered
the young boatman.
"Nevertheless, I know he will insist
upon doing something for you. He
thinks so much of me I am sure he would
rather give the whole of his steamer
than to havo mo drowned. Papa owns,
the River Qneon, didn't you know it?"
"What's that, miss?" asked Joe In as
tonishment. "Is Squiro Carroll your
father?"
"That's what tho peoplo ut the plan
tation call him. But at New Orleans or
Cairo he is known ns Mr. Carroll."
"Then, boy," exclaimed tho bluff old
pilot, slapring Jimmy ou the shoulder,
"you've done a big stroko of work for
yourself this day, and we'll soo you a
"Branch pilot" within a twelvemonth.
I hopo you'll try to tench that Wil
liams some sense. It's just this waj-,
miss," continued Joe, turning to the
girl, "my nephew has wanted for some
time to go steamboat ing, but I've never
been able to get him n chance; so if
you'd just ns lief ask your father to let
him havo a berth aboard the River
Queen when wo meet her at Orleans
'twould be doing him a great kindness."
. "Tho request is granted without the
nid of a mediatorl" declared a tall, lino
looking gentleman, who bad como along
side tho coal boat in, one of tho steam
er's skiffs in time to hear the speech of
Joo Irick.
"My precious child is restored to me,"
clasping the littlo girl in hisarms. Then
tho fond father deposited her again upon
tho blanket, nnd turning to Jimmy
grasped the hoy's hand nnd wrung it
fervently.
"Yes, my brave lad. Yon shall bo '
second pilot of the River Queen. And.
Mr. Irick," to Joe, "as no doubt you feel
that you would bo the-best instructor of
your nephew, you shall go first."
"Oh, thank you, sir, thank you, sir,"
stammered the veteran boatman, over
whelmed with surprise and gratitude.
"But, sir, you forget Williams. He's n
right good man, is Jack, and I'd never
bo tho one to do anything that would
take the bread and butter oat 6? bis
notitc, though he does cut np capers
sometimes, and cause the broadhora
men n heap of nervousness."
"Williams shall he cared for." smil
ingly returned the wealthy man. "He
will have a new steamer after the next
trip, and it is partially through his rec
ommendation that I decided to place the
River Queen in jour hands. Now, 1
must bid you goodby, for your old
friend up iu the pilothouse thero is
anxious to be on his way to Cairo, rare-1
well till we meet at New Orleans. Do j
not leave the city till you seo me."
Then, taking the damp form of his
rescued child in his arms, Mr. Carroll
hastened to the steamer, whose clew
cast loose from the bank, and iu a few
moments was out of sight up rirer.
The coal boatmen wero too much
elated to resume their journey that day.
"No, sir," said Joe Irick, as ho skipped
back and forth over the shining heap,
"we don't float another mile till tomor
row morning. The boys shall havo n
rest while I go ashore at Hickman and

An important bit of local history has
been discovered at Salem lu connection
with a tombstouo iu the old Charter
street burying ground. In the utter
most corner of this ground Is a stone
bearing this inscription:
"Mr. Nathan Mather died October J e
17th, 166U An aged person that had
seen but nineteen winters iu this world."
The meaning of this peculiar inscrip
tion lias long been a matter for conjec
ture among local historians. In his
"American Notebooks," Nathaniel Haw
thorne refers to it and says: " 'An aged
man at nineteen years,' saith tbo gravo
stoue. It affected ine deeply when 1
cleared away the grass from the half
buried itoue and read the name."
The mystery has beeu solved by tho
discovery in the Et,ex institute of a
book entitled, "The Genealogy of tho
Mather Family." By this book it ap
pears that Nathaniel Mather was born
July 0, 1668, and was a brother of Cotton
Mather and a sou of IncreitMT Mather

Pnlti's wanliolio is something that
fashion writei . rme over. At every
performance she ..r tourso wears tha
newest concert rtiin In the opera
that follows she v.-.u . 1 ho dress requi
site for the part nlic pli. v h. The concert
costumes nre the in udm-i ions of tha first
Parisian milliner, and tme may bo sure
that the wily milliner, getting au order
from Patti, wonld exert himself for this
queen of song as he would fur no crowned
ltead.
Her jewels me (he most elaborate
worn by any woman outside of royalty,
nnd even royalty's gems fado before her
matchless collection of emeralds. In
some concerts Mme. Patti wears & cos
tume of pink and silver brocade, over
which is worn n delicnte green satin da
imperatrice. With this costume she
wears a dog collar of emeralds eet with
diamonds, a bouquet of roses made of
diamonds and emeralds completely cov
ering tho front of her bodice. Also a
tiara, garniture nnd comb of emeralds
and diamonds. This bit of jeweled orna
ment is said to be worth over f 50,000. It
is ft peculiarity of Pattl's that she will
wear nothing in tho way of decoration
but what is absolutely real.

aro her own, and tho pearls aro positively
real. Her courier, whenever Bho sings,
la on the stage, waits for inadnine in tho
wings and accompanies her from the
stngo to the dressing room that is, when
her careful husband, Signor Nicolinl, 1,
not around. He Is very careful of his
precious wife, and she Is never on the
stage but that be Is an intent observer of
everything that Is going on.
Patii's passion, of course, is her appear
ance before tho public. She is one of
those creatures who, without tbe excite
ment of public applause, could hardly
exist. The applauso of tha publlo is
positively meat and drink for her.
There is no debutante more cnger to
know whether she has dono well than is
Patti nt this day. Sho comes off the
stage smiling and pleased.
Her eyes sparkle, and the first thing
she asks her husband is: "Well, was
that good? Listen how pleased they
are." On being reassured that she is
tho darling of the public's heart, she is
in an ecstasy of pleasure, and for tho
next performance she is all the more
eager to do'her best. It is this wonder
ful deslro to be nt her best that upholds
hor in her magnificent art
Thero aro few people who havo
achieved the fortune, tho famo and the
great notoriety that Patti has who would
deny themselves the many human priv
ileges that sho docs merely to preserve
her voico and to be nblo to maintain the
matchless charm of her art.
At every hotel where rooms are en
gaged for herself special stipulation Is
made and rooms selected for her servant,
as well. Tho price is never an object,
Mme. Patti and suite generally occupy,
about teii rooms and ft parlor In every
city In which sho sings. She gives two
concerts ft week-, and never travels on
tho day she sings. She requires perfect
rest nnd refuses to speak to any one on
tho day of a concert. Spam Moments.
