On April 12th, General Pope and his entire command embarked on transports and steamed down the river, in company with the gunboat fleet. The force arrived in front of Fort Pillow on the 14th. In a few days, before reconnoitring was completed, Pope was ordered to report with his whole command, except two regiments to be left with the gunboats, to General Halleck at Pittsburg Landing.
The sultan was not present; he had been persuaded out of his fancy to see the sight, and the khedive was left in peace as master of ceremonies. The Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria was there in his yacht, and the Empress Eugénie, the "bright particular star" of the occasion, was on board the French war-steamer "L'Aigle." As "L'Aigle" steamed slowly into the crowded port, all the bands played,
The more reason for your not going. P'r'aps this is where it comes from first, and nice place it must be where all that water's made hot. Let's go back, and wait close at the front." "No; let's go a little farther, Jem." "Why, I'm so hot now, my lad, I feel as if I was being steamed like a tater. Here, let's get back, and " "Hist!"

"If the man you loved were waiting for you in England, nurse, you know you'd go and you wouldn't care a hang whether you were fit to travel or not!" The nurse smiled in spite of herself. "No," she admitted. "I suppose I shouldn't." As the Havre-Southampton boat steamed through the moonlit night, Dan and Gillian were pacing the deck together.
The ravage of moths can be prevented by drawing the tacks occasionally, turning back the edge of the carpet half a yard or so, laying a cloth wrung out of hot water on the wrong side, and pressing with a very hot iron, holding the iron on until the cloth is dry and then moving on until all the edges are thoroughly steamed and dried. This will not injure the carpet and kills the eggs and larvae.
It was on a bright, sunny morning that the Marie Theresa steamed through the entrance to the Adriatic Sea, where the French fleet, with one or two British warships, had the entire Austrian naval force cooped up. The Austrians had made several dashes, in an attempt to run the blockade, but so far all such efforts had been unsuccessful.

"Ah! my friends," thought I, "how I will tend you, and wait upon you, and haunt you with my love." "My floating chariot bore me over a great city. Its faint dull sound steamed up into the air a sound how composed?"
In this way we shall not be liable to cheat the teeth out of what is justly their due, and then make the deranged stomach and general system pay for it. Potatoes are a good article of diet to be used once a day though they are not very nutritious. They are best either steamed or roasted in the ashes. They are also excellent when boiled.
