GEO. D. PRENTICE.-Don Piatt, thus writes to the
Cincinnati Commercial Of Geo. D. Prentice at home
and at work
was wandering through the hot rooms, at midnight,
In search OF proofreader, when stumbled upon that
OF man whose magic name yet gives significance to
the journal he founded and made famous It was a
little room ltby gas et that fared over low cot
bed one table and few chairs all of the severest
style OF upholstery. From amid pile of newspapers
kneedeep, scissors in hand up the poet journalist
l could have then and there embraced the dear old
gentleman, had not been shocked into sense of pro-
priety by his unexpected appearance. had not seen
MIR. Prentice for years. and not prepared for the
change he presented Never at best, caring fig for
appearances be had in the heat of this July night
discarded all wearing apparel, save his nen panta
looms and slippers while his hair stood out like quilts
upon fretfnl porcupine. He welcomed me heartily,
and was glad to learn that his health is better now
than it has been for years.
Few men have welded wider influence, in his day
and generation, than Geo. D. Prentice, and even now
the shadow of his name seems to breathe over and
give character to the journal he originated But
looking back over the brilliant career an admirer could
wish he had other surroundings than these. Perhaps
however, he would aot be happier. Berringerlike he
probably clings to his old ways from choice

Over the River

This beautiful poem was published several yea
ago hut it is so exqisely beautiful that it will bear
publishing. 1t was written by Miss Priest-all W
recognise it as coming from a woman's heart
those who have lost intimate frends-and who h
not?-some of the illusions inexpressibly affet
ing. If read at evening twilight, many a moisten
eye will follow the lines:
Over the river they beckon to me-
Loved ones who have passed to the other side,
The CLEAN their snowy robes | see
But their voices are lost in the dashing tide
There's one with ringIets of sunny gold
And eyes the reflection of Heavens own blue
He crossed the twilight gray and cold,
And the pale mist hid him from mortal view
We saw not the angels who met him there
The gates of the The City we could not see;
Over the River, over the river,
Ny brother stands ready to welcome me.
Over the River, the boatLnan pale,
Carried another-the household pet
Her bright curls waved in the gentle gale
Darling Minnie see her yet
She crossed Oh her bosom her dimpled hands
And fearlessly entered the phantom bark
We know she is safe on the other side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be;
Over the River, the Mystic River
My cbildhood's idols waiting for me-
For none return from the quiet shores
Who cross with the boatman cold and blue:
We hear the dip of the golden oars,
We catch CLEAN ofthe snowy sail,
And, q, they have passed from our heart
They cross the stream and are gone for ave
We cannot sunder the veil apart
That hides from vision the gates of day;
We only know that their banks no more
Shall sail with ours on Iife's stormy shore
They watch, and beckon and wait for me
And | sit and think when the sunsets gold
Is flushing river, and HILL and shore
shall one day stand by the water cold,
And list to the sound of the boatmans oar:
Shall watch for the CLEAN Of the tapping sail
! shall hear the boat as it gains the strand
shall pass from sight with the boatman pale
To the better shore of the Spirit Land
shall know the loved who have gone before,
And joytully sweet will the meeting be,
When over the River, the peaceful River,
The Angel of Death shall carry me-

TRAGEDY AT MISSISSIPPI Cry Wednesday last
there was added another of those terrible tragedies

this summer.
We have been unable to gather the full particulars
OF this most unfortunate affair." but learn that Mr. AL
bert Green son OF one of our most respected fellow
citizens had some alteration with Dr. Latham near
the hotel at Mississippi City, which resulted in the lat
ter being slapped in the face-some accounts say
knocked down-by the former, whereupon Dr. Latham
inquired OF Mr. Green if he were armed, and receiving
an affirmative reply, be walked off towards his resi-,
dence. '' 'e'''
Those who witnessed the ARRAY thought there would
be no further difficulty but we're soon dsabrsed hv
seeing Dr. Latham advance with double .barreled
shot gun which, 1t is alleged he eveled as soon as he
approached near enough, and firing at yonnu CO.
killed him instantly.

the lake shore, and had been employed as purser on
