Just below the Newport waterworks are several coal-barge harbors mooring-grounds where barges lie in waiting, until hauled off by tugs to the storage wharves. In the rear of one of these fleets, at the base of a market garden, we found a sunny nook for lunch for here on the Kentucky side the cold wind has full sweep, and we are glad of shelter when at rest.
One has only to stroll through the arsenals of the world, or glance at the mooring-grounds of the maritime states, to see to what an extent the passion for retaining the obsolete and useless holds dominion over the official mind. A thing may be known to be valueless its retention may be proved to be mischievous yet proposals to abandon it will be opposed and defeated.
