THE CAKM1 CHUMS. The Curmi Chums was flic Etitne they wi'ut by till along the river. Most other roustabouts had each a name of his own ; so had the Carmi Chums, for that mat ter, but the men themselves were never mentioned individually always collect ively. Ko steamboat Captain who wanted Ally a single man ever attempted to hire half of the Carmi Chums at a time as easy would it have been to have hired half of the Siamese Twins. No steamboat .mate wbokccw them ever attempted to "tell off" the Chums into different watches, and any mate who, not knowing them, committed this blun der, and adhered to it after explanation was made, was sure .to be two men short immediately after leaving the steamer's next landing. Theic seemed no possible way of separating them ; they never lull out with each other in the natural course of cveuts; they never fought when drunk, as other friendly roustabouts sometimes did, for the Carmi Chums never got drunk; there never sprang up any coolness between them because of love for the same lady, fur they did sot seem to care at all x for female society, unless they happened to meet somcold lady whom one might love- as a mother rather than as a sweetheart. Even pro lesuional busybodies, from whose pres ence roustabouts arc not freer than church members, were unable to pro voke the Carmi Chums even to suspicion, and those of them who attempted it too persistently were likely to have a diffi culty with the slighter ot the Chums. This man, who was called Black, because of the color of his hair, was apparently forty years of age, of very ordinary ap peerance, except when an occasional furtive, frightened look came into his face and attracted attention. His com panion called Red, because his hair was of the hue of carrots, and because it was occasionally necessary to distinguish him from his friend, seemed of about the same age and degree of ordinariness as Black, but was rather stouter, more ' cheery, and, to us the favorite rousta bout simile, held his head closer to the current. He scemetl, when Black was absent minded (as he generally was while off duty), to be the leading spirit . of the couple, and to be tenderly alive to all of his partner's needs; but ob serving roustabouts noticed that when freight was being moved, or wood taken on board, Black wps always where he could keep nu eye on his chum, and " when he could demand' instant fepar-s tion from any wretch who trod upon Red's toes, or who with a shoulder load of wocd grazed Red's head, or touched Red witliboi or, barrel. LJScxt fo Beighborly wonder as to the existence of the friendship between the - Cbums, roustabouts with whom the couple sailed concerned themselves most with the cause lf the bond between them. Their seaiches after first causes i iJ!w.nwip vcSf?l howesVtiaV those of the naturalists who are endeav oring to ascertion who laid the cosmic egg. They gave out thai they came BB , i 'from Carmi, so, -once. or. twice, vwbea - " tJaptains-'with whom- the Chums-were engaged determined to seek a cargo np the Wabash, upon which riveC Csrot was located, inquisitive roustabouts be came light haartecLv Udt alas, for "the vanity of human hope;! whenthe boat reached Carm the Chums could' not, be 'fourfdj -not-could 'any Inhabitant "of Carmi identify them by the descriptions which were given by inquiring friends. At length they became known, in their; collective capacity, as one of the insti tutions of the river. Captains knew them as well as they knew Natchez or cccdcd in Ihiu latter named ojieration, he would, by insensible stages, draw himself away, and ive ninwclf up to enthusiastic admiration of his partner, or, apparently, of his conversational ability. The spring of 1869 found the Chums in the crew of the Thnnett, "the peer less floatiDgalace of the Mississippi," as she was called fljj "thoae newspapers whose refortstt liad ithe treedom of the Bennett's bar; and the same season saw the Bennett staggering down the Mis sissippi with so heavy a load of sacked corn, that the gunwales amidships were fairly under water. The river was very low, so the Bennett kept carefully in the channel, but the channel of the great muddy ditch which drains half the Union is as fickle as disappointed lovers declare women to be, and it has no more respect lor great steamer loads of corn than Goliah had for David. A little Ohio River boat, bound upwards, had reported the sudden disappearance of a wood yard a little way above Mil liken's Bead; where the channel hugged the shore, and with the wood yard there had disappeared tin enormous sycamore tree, which had for years served as a' tying post for steamers. As live syca mores are about ai disinclined to float as bars ot lead are, the Captain and pilot ot the Bennett were somewhat concerned- for the sake of the corn to know the exact location of the tree. Half a mile from the spot it became evident, even to the passengers clustered forward on the cabin deck, that the sycamore had remained quite near its old home, for a long, rough ripple was seen directly across the line of the chan nel. Then arose the question as to how much water was on top of the tree, and whether any bar had time to accumu late. The steamer was stopped, the en gines were reversed and worked by hand to keep the Bennett from drifting down stream, a boat was lowered and manned, the Chums firming part of her crew, and the Second Officer went down to take soundings, while the passengers, to whom even so small a cause for ex citement was a god -send, crowded the rail and stared. The boat shot rapidly down thestruun,. headed for the shore end of the ripple. She seemed almost into the boiling mud in front of her when the passengers on the steamer heard the Mate in the boat shout: "Back, all." The motion of the oars changed in an instant, but a little too late, for, a heavy root of the fallen giant, just covered by the water, caught the little craft, and caused itto carce'h so violently that one man was thrown into the water. As she righted, another man went in. "Confound HP growled the Captain, who was leaning out of the pilot house window. "I hope they can swim. Still, 'taint as bad as it would be if we had any more cargo to take aboard." " ilJVs the'Chuma,'' remarked the pilot, who had brought a glass to bear upon the boat. "Thunder, exclaimed the Captain, striking a bell. "Below there! Lower away another boat lively!" Then, turning to the passengers, he exclaimed: "Nobody on the river 'd forgive tne if I lost the Chums. 'Twould be as bad as Barnum losing his giraffe." The occupants of the first boat were evidently of the Captain's own mind, for they were eagerly peering orer'licr sideband into the water. Suddenly the pilot dropped his glass, extemporized a trumpet with both hands, and shouted : "Forrard forrardl One of 'em's up!" Then he put his mouth to the speaking tube, and screamed to the engineer: "Let her drop dowa a Uttlt, BiU!'1 The sounding party headed towards a black speck, apparently a hundred yards below them, and the great steam er drifted" down stream. The speck moved towards shore, and the boat, rapidly shortening distance, seemed to scrape the banks with her port oars. "Safe enough now, I guess," exclaimed Judge Turner, of one of the southern" Illinois circuits. The Judge' had been interrupted in telling a story when the accident occurred, and was in a hurry to resume. , "As 1 was saying," said he, "hehardl looked like a professional horse thief.5 He was little and quiet, and had always worked away steadily at his trade. I believed him when he said 'twas his first offense, and that he did it to raise money to bury his child: and I was go ing to give him an easy sentence, and ask the Governor to pardon him. The laws have to be executed, you know, but there's no lawt against mercy being practiced afterwards. Well, the Sheriff was bringing him from jail to hear the verdict and the sentence when a short man, with red hair, knocked the Sheriff down, andj; off galloped that precious conple for theVabash. I--saw the en tire" TO ,iH "The deuce!" interrupted the pilot, again dropping his glass. The Judge glared angrily; the, passen gara saw, across the shortened distance, one of the Chums holding br a root to the bank and trying to support the oilier, whose shirt hung in rags, and who seemed exhausted. ftich 5aes liwti't asked the Cap tain. "Give me the glass."- Bat the pilot had left the house and 1W - . Se - j taken the glass with him. t Thcjjrndge continued: " 'Ft-aw the whole transaction through the window. I was so close that I saw laaJSherifFs as3ailant's very eyes. I'd know that fellow's face "if I saw it in a fn - - T t 'Why, they're oodi hnrtlexcUimad the Captainr-"theyTfe thrown a coat over one, and theyre icre?ia'iarfid1 the other; What 'Sthe They're Fiaokishaw Bend, and chowed them to diitinguibhcd passengers as regularly as they showed Gen. Zach Taylor's plant ation, or the scene of the Grand Gulf "cave," where a square mile of Louisiana dropped into the river one night. Cap tains rather cultivated them, in fact, although it was a difficult bit of busi ness, for roustabouts who wouldn't say "thank you" tor a glas3 of French brandy, or a genuine, old fashioned plantation cigar," seemed destitute of ordinary handles of which a steamboat Captain could take hold. Lady pas sengers took considerable notice of them, and were more successful than any one else at drawing them into con versation. The linguistic accomplish ments of the Chums were not numerous, but it did one good to see Black lose his scared, furtive look when a lady ad dressed him, and to see the affectionate deference with which he appealed to Red, until that worthy was drawn into the conversation. When Black euc comin' back without 'em need whisky to bring 'cm to, I suppose. Why didn't I scad whisky down by the other boat? There's an awful amount of time bemj wasted here. What's the matter, Mr. Bell?" f liouted the Captain, as the ioat approached the steamer. "Both dead," replied the officer. "Dead? Now, ladleo and gentlemen," exclaimed the Captain, turning towards the passengers, who were crowding for ward just below him, "I want to know If that ain't a streak of the meanest kind of luck? Both the Chums gone! Why, I won't be able to hold up my head in New Orleans. How came It that just those two fellows were knocked out?" "Red tumbled out, and Black jumped in after him," replied the officer, "Red must have been caught in an eddy and tangled in the old tree's top clothes torn almost off head caved in. Black must have burst a blood vessel -his face looked like a copper pan when he reached shore, and he just groaned and dropped.' The Captain was torry so sorry that he sent a waiter for brandy. But the Captain was human, business was busi ness, the rain was lulling, and n big log was across the boat's bow, v lie .shouted : 'Hurry up and bury 'cm, then. You ought to let tlfu second boat's crew gone on wilh that, and you have gone back to your soundings. Tliey tens the Claims, toJbe sure, but now they're only dead roustabouts. Below there! Pass out a couple of shovels!" "Perhaps some ladies would go down with the boat, Captain and a preacher, too, if there's one aboard," remarked the mate, with an earnest but very mysteri ous expression. "Why, what in thunder docs the fel low mean?" sDliloqnizcd the Captain, audibly. "Women and a preacher for dead roustabouts. What do you mean, Mr. Bell?' "Red's a woman," briefly responded the mate. The passengers all started the Cap tain brought his hands together with a tremendous clap, and exclaimed: "Murder will out! But who'd have thought 1 was to be the man to find out the secret of the Carmi Chums? Guess I'll be the biggest man on the New Or leans levee; after all. Yep, certainly of course some ladies '11 go and a preach er, too, if there's such a man aboard. Hold up, though we'll all go. Take your soundings, quick, and we'll drop the steamer just below the point and tic up. I wonder if there is a preacher aboard?" No one responded for a moment; then the Judge spoke : "Before I entered the law I was ihe regularly settled pastor of a Presbyterian church," said he. "I'm decidedly rusty now, but a tittle time will enable mo to prepare "myself properly. Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen." The sounding boat pulled away, and the Judge retired to his stateroom. The ladies, with very pale laces, gathered in a group and whispered earnestly with each other; then ensued visits to each other's staterooms, and the final regath ering of the ladies with two or three bundles. The soundings were taken, and as the steamer dropped down stream, men were seen cutting a path down the rather5 steep clay bank. The Captain put his hands to his mouth and shouted : "Dig only one grave make it wide enough for two." And all the passengers nodded assent and satisfactieti. Tla.c had been short since the news reached the steamer, but the Bennett's carpenter, who was himself a married man, had made a plain coffin by the time the boat tied up, and another by the time the grave was dug. The first was put upon a lorg barrow, over which the Captain had previously spread a table cloth, and followed by the ladies, was deposited beside the body ot Red. Half an hoar later the men placed Black in the other, coffin, removed both to the side of the grave, and signaled the boat. "Now, ladies and; gentlomen," said ,the Captain. . , The Judge appeared, with a very sol emn face, his coat buttoned tight to his throat, and the party started. Col. May of Missouri, who read Voltaire and didn't believe in anything, maliciously took the Jadge's arm and remarked : "You didn't finish your Rtory, Judge." The Judge frowned reprovingly. "But really," persisted the Colonel, UI don't want curiosity to divert my mind from the solemn services about to take place. Do tell me if they ever caught the rascals." They never did," replied the Judge. "The Sheriff hunted and advertised, bnt he could never hear & word of eltner of (them. But I'd know either one ot them at sight. " Sh h h here we are at.the gmt. The passengers, officers and crew gathered about the grave. The Judge removed his bat, a-iU as the Captain uncovered the faces of the dead, com menced : "I am tl'c resurrection and the life Why, there's the horse thief now. Col onel! I beg your pardon, ladies and gentlemen, 'He that believeth in ' Just then the Judge's eye fell upon the dead woman's lace, and he screamed: "And there's the Sheriffs assailant!"
