James A. Meacham died at his
home in Sharp county, Ark., last
week. While he led a quiet and
uneventful life as a farmer, yet he
was connected with events which are
of interest to all students of history
and literature. He was one of the
rangers who accompanied the com-
missioner appointed by the govern-
ment of the United States to settle
The Indian tribes migrating from
ths east to the west of the Missisisppi
in 183a. A company of rangers was
organized at Batesville in 1832 by
Capt. Bean, for the purpose of mak-
ing an expedition into the far west-
and Meacham, then a young man of
21 years, volunteered, together with
his brother Kit, who was only 16.
They went from Batesville toFay-
ettsville, Ark. Pursuing their
journey westward from Fayettsville,
they halted for a short time at Fort
Gibson, on Grand river. Some
distance west of Fort Gibson the
ranger* were joined by the United
States commissioner and hit train,
among whom was Washington Irv
ing. They soon passed beyond
iidu lliC vast IL^tUU uf
country between the Arkansas and
Red rivers, where the white man
had not as yet set his foot. The
boundless prairies were roamed over
by the wild and savage Indians, the
wild horse and buffalo. It was this
expedition that furnished Irving
with material for his admirable
book, “A Tour of the Prairies,"
and with the adventures described
therein Meacham is inseperabiy
connected, for it was he who caught
the black mare so graphically de-
scribed by Irving’s pen. His ver-
son of how he caught the black
mare differs from that recorded in
“A Tour of the Prairies." His
statement is that he had thrown his
lasso partially over her bead, and in
the struggle she fell and rolled into
a ravine on her back, which pre-
vented her rising at once. He dis-
mounted, seized her by the head
and held her until help arrived. In
the fall and struggle the animal was
injured, and finally became so lame

It was twenty years the first of the

road wreck in Ohio, known as the
Ashtabula disaster. A train of
several coaches containing 147 per-

but 72 were killed, many of the
bodies being burned beyond recog-
nition. Among the passengers were
Mr. P. P. Bliss, the noted evangel-
ist, author of “Hold the Fort,” and
other revival songs, his wife and
two children. We believe their
bodies were never identified..-.____

TABLE TALK.
For 1897, beginning with the Januarjr
issue, there will be added to the usual
departments of Table Talk, in response
to a wide demand from Its readers, an
additional page of menus giving noon-
day dinners. In this same issue appears
an article on “The Pleasures of Eating,”
by Elizabeth Grinnell; an interesting
article on “Olevkoecks and Momvrlijes,
by Martha Bockee Flint. The history of
“Knives, Trenchers, Cupboards and
Hutches” is treated by Rose Crosby,
while the Housekeeper’s Inquiry Depart-
ment contains a large number of most
excellent recipes; “The New Bill ot
Fare” is replete with women’s interests,
and the entertainments are well adapted
to create the pleasure they are hoped to
promote. There will also be, through-
out the season, articles by a thorough-
ly practical authority, containing well
tested recipes for the canning, preserving
and pickling of fruits and vegetables. A
variety of articles on domestic science
topics will be given by well-known wrl-
