house, and I must here say that have always considered Nashville the most fashionable place of its size I ever was in. While there, I saw the "Nasville Inn," where Jackson and Benton had a bloody fight in after years, ho weyer, Benton became one of the staunchest supporters of Jackson's policy whfle Jackson was President I also saw the penitentiary where at that time, the famous robber and captain' of robbers John A. Murrill, was confined, and who afterwards died there. After his arrest" and conviction, his so called gang dispersed. While here, I heard of a tannery-near Dover, a small town down the Cumberland river, where the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers are only 14 miles from each other.

Upon arriving at Louisville, I landed and put up at the Gait House, then, as now, a fine' hotel. I looked out for a job, but did not succeed in finding any. One day while walking the streets I met some five dr six Germans, among them ja' fellow named Anton Fink, wkh whom I was well acquainted he was a blacksmith, and had worked in Salem, where I knew, They insisted thaf I should go with them to a German drinking house; the proprietor of which reached up to the top shelf and got down a long-necked! green bottle, saying this was what the French loved. I took a little of it, but it was so fiery strong that it burnt as it went down.

I then said no more French love for me. I afterwards heard or read that this same Anton Fink was hung somewhere out West I thought then, if he continued taking the French love, he was not fit for anything else but to be hung. Finding that I could not get anything to do here, I decided to go up the river to and accordingly took steamer for that city. Upon arriving there, I landed and went to a hotel, after which I went out to look for tanneries, but after X2TJEZ "Only a boy" how common the phrase; "Only a boy," with his troublesome ways; "Only a boy," sd chubby and small; But'he's "somebody's darling" after all.

I had eighljf jdollars.to start with and expected tov. get work and earn more as I traveled from place to place. So one morning I took stage for Mt.

Airy I stopped at a hote' kept by Mr. Wright, then sheriff of Surry county. Early next morning we left for Wytheyille, crossing the. Blue Ridge. When we got on the top of the mountain, there stood the so called "breakfast house," and being quite ready for it, I went in to get; some breakfast On the table was corn bread, fat middling bacon, and a kind of slops they called coffee (but it warmed) and this was all.

It was Altogether the worsjt meal ever sat down to, that I had to pay for. There was some fine scenery in these mountains, but I could not enjoy it, owing to the apparently reckless drivBtg going down steep gradesi There was a negro with a hddla stage, and he he could' snly riow and then get a squeecb'; out of his instrument, ow- ing to ine terrible swaying and jolt- ing of Wie stage. After 'gettig down the mountain, we crossed Iew River, which I had crossed beftjre in North Carolina, which rises and runs part of its course in this state, and whose wa- ters finally empty into the Gulf of Mexico. After arriving' in Wythevil'e and not getting anything to do I de- cided to go to Tenness'ee. There was a stage line passing through here, i carrying through mails be tween Baltimore and New Orleans it was carried in strong, heavy hacks drawn by four horses.

The whole of the inside, seats and all, was filled with, mail bags I was the only passenger and had to make myself as comfortah as rnn id: amon? the mail bags. In after years. Mark Twain, in his book, called 'Roughing It," gives a very' ood description of this way of traveling.

the river the only thing that interested me on board, were several coops of game cocks, which were destined for. New Orleans. I got the names and pedigree of the different birds; they were the finest birds of the kind I ever saw. Upon arriving opposite the town of Dover, my trunk and myself were sent ashore in a yawl boat from the steamer, there being no wharf or landing place. steamer, as all the others I ever traveled on, in these Western waters, was a high-pressure; all those on the Eastern waters being low-pressure.

As it was late in the day when I landed, I went into a tavern to stay over night Here I was informed that the tannery I was looking for, was 7 miles from here; just halfway between the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers. inenext morning 1 waiKea out i The next morning I walked out man, a very clever gentleman, who seemed to regret that he could nor. give me employment, as ne then had more hands than he needed. He gave me a good dinner and offered, me some money to assist me in going further. This, I how- ever, "respectfully, declined; to re- ceive, as-1 had some money on hand yet this seemed to surprise him, as it was then a custom for employers, when they could not give a journeyman a job of work, to give him some pecuniary assist- ance.

I back to town, and next morning with some others, took our baggage down to the bank of the river, to watch for a boat to take us down the river. Pretty soon we saw one coming; we waved our handkerchiefs and lifted our lug- erasre to induce- tnem to take us aboard; they however, took no no- i tice of us, and passed on, but did not get out of sight when they ran on a sand-bar and stuck fast Then they sent their yawl boat to take us, but we indignantly re- fused to go with them, prefering to patiently wait for another boat to come down. We did not have to wait very long, before Wrdond saw one coming we made the same signals as we did before, and wnen she came opposite, hove to, and sent her yawl boat ana iook us on board.
