CnrcrNlTATI, April 20. A rough pine
box, 20 feet long by 11 leet wide
and 7 feet high, secured upon the flat
bottom of a home-made batteau, came up
the river in some mysterious way last night,
and this morning was seen tied to a peg
driven in the sand at Shanty-Boat Town, on
the Kentucky shore, opposite Cincinnati.
ItVai the home of Captain Silas With
ers, and in about 30 days, by easy stages,
rill have,completed its journey, and be nose
en to a Pittsburg wharf.
The tide of travel among the nomads who
mate up the numerous tribe of house-

quarters, or will be well on their way to the
j bead of navigation on the Monongahela,
'whence many of them start in September
i for their winter haunts.
i Among them Captain "Withers is known
J as a regular and a pioneer.
I "There is plenty of money afloat in the
river north of Cairo." said he this morning.
"Plenty ot it; but further south in the
bavous and alone the calf coast it can be
I taken up in scoops. Alligators, oysters, sea
I beans, sharks, pelicans, wild docks, jack
waters, and everyone of them can be sold
far rood money the "gators, sharks and
pelicans in the Northern markets and the
f others, which have to be specially packed

& CHEAP HXTSO.
"But we don't need much money we
river people about 5100 which il costs me
leverv year to be towed to Pittsburg is mv
I biggest item of expense, and that of course
I I might avoid by staying in the South. Ten
dollars will ouy a whole year s outlit of
i clothes; tobacco can be had all along the
cemucy snore lor me asking; ana as lor
food it is not necessary to go half a mile
from the bayou at any time to shoot deer,
turkeys, squirrels, 'possums, and water
t fowl. Palmetto buds make as good cabbage
r as is ever grown in a field, and a bushel of
! oysters can be traded at any time for a peck
of corn meal to make hoe cakes."
, "But the oysters; what do you trade for
r them?"
1 "I shovel them. Near thecoastline, every
i little bayou in Louisiana is an oyster bed.
S It is only necessary to wade out into the
shallow water and scoop up the shell fish
with a shovel or fork. Of course, like all
gulf oysters, they are small; but there are
none in the world more delicious to the
palate, the Bayou Cook oyster, which can
only be procured in 2Tew Orleans, being
famous in this land of good oysters as the
weetestlumpof slipperiness that can slide
down a man's throat But in my mind all
the gulf oysters are equally fine flavored,
the Bayou Cook being singled out from the
' others because of the pinkish tinge, which
t makes it distinctive.
j "But don't think that all the wild game
Is found in the South. Come in andsee the
"prizes that I caught yesterday."
X KOSIAD'S HOME.
' He led the way up the gang-plank,
y through the low doorway into his castle. A
gbunk, two chairs, a table and a stove com
gpletea the furnishing. A short plank on
Setfg (Masde a triangular pen in one corner,
and about a dozen of the ugliest, slimiest,
muddiest snapping turtles that ever came
sjoutof water were resting behind it Their
I bright eyes watched every motion of a wil
low twig in the Captain's hand, and when
he carried its end within three inches of the
largest turtle's nose the head shot forward
with a slight hiss atd the twig was caught
between jaws as unrelaxing as a bull dog's.
"All's fish that comes to my net," said
the captain, "and that little bunch of fish
there all of which I caught yesterday is
worth about S5, and will be sold for that
mm in Cincinnati before the day is out
, There are 13 turtles in the lot, running
about five pounds to the turtle, which will
make 65 pounds, at 8 cents a pound, giving
'ine $5 20 for my day's work.
''There is scarely a pond or a creek in this
platitude which is not stocked with mud tur
ves, to a greater or less extent, and every
fene ot snapper variety has a market value
shell and all of about 8 cents per pound.
iThey make the turtle soup which decorates
the tree-lunch counter of saloons, and fig
'Ures on the bill of fare of many pretentious
restaurants. The beast has a habit of sun
ning himself on logs projecting over the
'water. Upon the approach of the hunter
fthey slip from their perch, and go splash
Into the depths.
, CATCHI2JQ MUD TUBTI.ES.
"With a long-handled scoop the hunter
Searches the bottom of the pond at that
pot until he feels the creature's hard back;
.then with a quick sweep of his arm he
brings up scoop and turtle, sending .the
brute head overbeds through the air to'the
shore, where it is picked up and popped
into the boat, or ino a leather bag, if the
trip be made afoot
l ' Another species for game common to
this latitude, which often furnishes the
shanty boatman all the money be needs in
& season, is the mnskrat Two seasons ago
I started North earlier than usual, and
reached a muskrat town I knew of in a
swampy bend of the Big Miami before they
bad broken camp and left their winter
quarters. Did you ever see a muskrat town?
Ifo? "Well, you have a pretty clear idea as
to what a beaver house is a dome of mud
and sticks rising out of a marsh, with the
entrance under water. Group about a dozen
of these mud huts most of them five feet
high and four feet across at the bottom in
a swamp grown up in willows, alders and
fflarsh grass, and you will have a fair idea'
of the appearance of this village.
J "I did not propose to waste much time
or trouble on the colony. So I borrowed an
empty potato barrel from a farmer, and sunk
it'in about two feet of water on the outskirts
of the town.
W CATCHETG MTJSKEATS.
SJ"I floated a few lines of apple peelings
from ibe water into the barrel, and put a
few apples to bobbing on the surface of the
water in the barrel. The next morning five
muskrats were trying to get out of the bar
rel into which they had jumped alter the
apple. And in two days I had taken 33 of
teem.
"It takes about ten minutes to strip the
pelt from a muskrat, to rub the inside with
alt which is all the curing required, and
to store it away ready for the dealer. They
average about 20 cents apiece, and I got 6
for my 33 pelts.
" "But taken altogether, the shanty-boatman
who knows how to warp his way clear
through the bayous to the Gulf can do much
better on the coast than he can anywhere
this side of it Take my experience last
winter. I went down the Bayou La
Fourche and tied up in Terrebonne Parish,
about ten miles from the coast Game, oys
ters and fish were plenty as blackberries'in
August all around me, and whenever I felt
in the humor for work I would take my
pirouge and go up the bayou for a few days'
litigator hunt, or down to the coast and fish

; the only part of the pelican that has a
marfcet Value are a few of the wing feathers,
the came statements apply to it So you see,
rhen.my cargo was to be pelican feathers
Hfdjilligator hidei and teeth, I could make
it up leisurely through the winter and not be
at all rushed in getting my stock to market,
as would be the case if it happened to be
oysters or -game. The gulf oysters brine
about a dollar a barrel in the Sew Orleans
market, and game whatever one can sell it
for.
"I said I went down so the coast fishing
for pelicans. Sometimes we shoot them;
but the easiest plan, and that is always a
great point with a shantyboatman, is to fish
for them. Ton know the pelican, of coarse.
a big white bird, with a web foot, a long
beak, and a pouch forward into which it
tosses the fish as fast as it can scoop them
ont of the water.
"My plan is to take a long line; rig it out
with about 30 hooks set in bunches of threes,
lashed back to back; keep the line on the
water by means of floats, and bait the hooks
with fry. The pelican sails over the water,
sees the fish, swoops down and pouches
both fish and book. "When he tries to take
them away with him the line brings him up
short, and he falls Into the water with a
splash, where he flounders around until I
apaddle out and take him aboard with me.
"There is a bunch ot fine, hair-like
feathers in each wing of the pelican, which
bring about 70 cents' for each bird, on the
average. t
MONET IN SHAKES.
"There is a market for -shark oil; but as
trying out the livers, from which the oil is
made, is a disagreeable, job, I generally let
sharks alone. But in Tthe winter of '84 I
"wanted money for anewboat,and as the peli
cans seemed to be coming pretty alowly and
'gators bad gone in some distance from the
coast, I -made up a shark tackle and tried
my luck in that branch of the fisherman's
business. The tackle was merely 40 feet
of stout rope, a couple of yards of chain and
a treble-barbed steel hook.
"I baited with a tough piece of alligator
tail, and after tying the shore end of the
rope to a sunken rock, I paid out the bait
over a bluff into deep water, and then went
back to the camp for the night. The bait
was carried away three nights in succession,
but on the morning of the fifth dav I saw a
black fin just off the rocks, and knew one
was well hooked. There was no use trying
to drag him ashore, while alive, and I spent
the rest of the morning coaxing him to the
surface by pulling on the line, and then fill
ing his hide with bullets.
(retting him ashore, cutting mm up, ana
trying out the liver, of which there "as over
a barrel, yielding me 18 gallons of oil, was
the hardest week's work I have done for ten
years, and when it was marketed the oil
only'yielded me 90 cents a gallon."

DlflTenbacher, of the City Directory, on the
Growth of Pltubnrff.
The canvass for names for the new city
directory was completed1 yesterday, and the
first copy for the book will go to the printer
to-morrow. It is believed that a number of
names have not been secured owing to re
movals'during the past two weeks.
If any person is anxious to have his name
in the directory and has moved since the
canvass began, he will be accommodated if
he calls at the office within the next two
days.
Publisher Difienbacher said yesterday
that the work of collecting the names had
taken more time this year than ever before.
He cannot make an estimate of the popula
tion of the two cities at present, but says
that from the number of names he can safely
say the population has increased more than
during any previous year.
The compiling of the names will require
about four weeks' time, and the book will
not be issued far about six weeks.

beat his tailor out of a bill than pay
as he would have to in a first-class
clothing store.
It is rather galling to a man who pays his bills
to realize that, unavoidably, his tailor's prices
must cover losses from bad debts. As fast as the
merits of such garments as we offer are compre
hended there is a double, attraction about our
cash prices. $15 to 30 for a first-class spring
Suit or Overcoat means that the purchasing
power of every dollar goes into the clothes and
the buyer is the gainer.
Then the satisfaction of knowing that what
ever is selected may be returned if one changes
his mind, or his wife changes hers. No insisting
on selling you something else. We hand back
money for,, clothes returned as pleasantly as if it
was the most profitable part of the business, ft
is. For usually that simple act secures good will,
and good will to-day means patronage in future,
which will assuredly come. We can wait for it.
