FINE IcE.-Rock Island is noted for put
ting up the purest ice to be found on the
Mississippi River. And to Mr.. Sinnet be-
longs the credit of getting up the largest,
most convenient ice establishment, where he
gets the purest ice and lands it directly from
the river into his ice house. We visited his
establishment, on Saturday, just as the last
course was being laid. The ice is raised by
horse power, up an an inclined plane, and
then run into the houses. The rapidity with
which the work is done, is quite surprizing.
He has now put up, in his two houses, about
1900 to 1900 tons of pure iee-as clean and
clear as chrystal. tits estimated that one
third of this viii waste before it is sold.-
This would leave him some LOCO to l,20O
tons for actual sale. One halt, or probably
more than one-half, of this amount will be
required to fill his contract with the North
ern Line steamers, which he has again Sc
cured
He will keep an ice depot, on the levee
and his teams will supply all who leave then

The Car Our OF THE BAG--The hired
scribbles for the ferry monopoly has another
communication in the Union this morning,
this time signed Rock Island, in which he
obliquely attempts to put the party screws to
Senator Webster, and compel him to go
against the interests of the people and vote
for the continuance of the ferry monopoly
The writer saws:

The owners of the ferry are members of the
republican party aud they not only run the in
stitution in the interest of the radicals but they
treat the democrats civilly that they influence
them to vote the radical ticket"
We shall see whether Senator Webster viii
be controlled by the party lash, or whether
he viii consider the permanent interests of
the people of Rock Island, rather than those
ofparty. N

The Old Woman.

Once she was Mother" and it was
Mother, I'm hungry" Mother, mend my
jacket" Mo ther, putup my dinners" and
" Mother" with her loving hands would
spread the bread and butter, and stow
away the luncheon, and sew, on the great
patch, her heart trimming with affection
for the imperious little curly, pate, that
made her so many steps and nearly dis
tracted her with his boisterous mirth.
Now she is the told woman" but she
did not think it would ever come to that
She looked on through the future years and
saw her boy to manhood grown, and he
stood TRANSPORTED in the light of her own
beautiful love. Never was there more
noble son than he-honored of the world,
and the staff of her declining years.
Aye, he was her support even then, but
she did not know it. She never realized
that it was her little boy that gave her
strength for daily toil-that his slender
form was all that upheld her over the
brink of dark despair. She only knew
how she loved the child, and felt that
amid the mists of age his love would bear
her gently through its infirmities to the
dark hall leading to the life beyond. mot
/ But the son has forgotten the mothers
tender ministrations now. Adrift from the
moorings of home, be is cold, selfish,
heartless, and Mother" has no sacred
meaning to the prodigal. She is " the old
woman" wrinkled, gray, lame and blind.
Pity her, O brave and dry those tears
that roll down her furrowed cheeks Have
compassion on her sensitive heart, and
offer it thy quiet rest, that it may forget
how much it longed to be "dear mother
to the boy it nourished through careless
childhood, but in return for all this wealth
of tenderness has only given back re-
proach. 4f'

fair salary to take charge of the establish
ment, and discharge the numerous duties
which arise around a well regulated home

out of spirits, and seldom smiled His
