ssINoIDENTS IN THE LIFE OF BLIND GIRL
Miss Mary L Day, young lady who had the
misfortune to lose her sight when only eleven
years of age, has written and published o book
with the above named title, the same being
her own autobiography. The book appears to
be written in an interesting style. The nara
tive is o straightforward tale OF the experi-
ences Of one who once looked on the sunlight
and beauty of creation, but was suddenly shut
ont from 1t by stroke OF misfortune. The
authoress is out Of health, and while travelling
with view to its benefit, sells the work and
thus pays her way. Her case appeals strongly
TO tho sympathies OF the charitable.

HEAVY Loss os MoNEY.-From the Off.
GERS of the steamer New Boston, W, learn
the following particulars of quite q heavy
loss of money: On last Frinay morning
tl3th), while the steamer Keithsburg lay at
the lower landing Of Fort Madison, a portly
gentleman came on board, and paid his pas.
sage to Rock Island. Shortly after the boat
pushed out, he came to Capt. Campbell in
great trepidation, and requested that he
might be put ashore at the upper landing, as
he had left his pocket book, containing ST.
100 in money and drafts, in his room at the
Metropolitan House, in that city. The boat
was accordingly landed, and he hurried up
town. On Saturday morning, he came on
board the New Boston. to come up the river.
having been unable to find his money, and
having given up in despair all hopes of ever
again hearing from it. The steamer was
JUS, backing out as the Marshal of Fl. Mad
son came running down to the levee, and
shouted to him to come ashore as they had
found q trace of the purloiner. The boat
landed again, when the Marshal came on
board and arrested woman named John.
son, who had come on board that morning,
and paid her passage to Davenport. She
had been employed at the Metropolitan as
chamberuaid, and it was supposed that she
had possession of the money, or knew where
it was. The clerk noticed that she seemed
to have considerable money as she paid her
fare, having no bills less than the ten dollar
denomination. She was taken ashore, fol.
lowed BY the anxious gentleman who bad
lost so respectable little amount

A LITTLE ADVICE TO TRAVELLING MIN
the last few months several
com panes of various characters have visited
our city, and given entertainments, with
doubtful success. AS general thing, no
CITY of It's size 10 the west ever turns Out
larger house for really meritorious enter |
tainment than Rock Island. The Tyro!eans
furnish a good example for the moral when
We desire TO point out. No better troupe OF
the kind ever comes this way. Instead Of
making their headquarters at this city, they
stopped at Davenport, and with a we" o.
economising their hotel bill, remained there
Saturday instead Of coming over here' VI
course some slight reduction in their expense
was offered as an inducement Tor them 70 10
so They had but little printing done, only
fow nroprammes for distribution IN the
hall and az another measure OF economy
had these printed at Davenport. AS the
hotel keeper could make slight reduction
in his bill to retain them another day or two'
80 the printer could afford to strike oil q 'e"
extra bills at lower rate than the forms
con,d be set up for at this side, aud printed
oH. This WAS another method Of economy
Their advertisement was Oh insignificant
one, cost very little, and in view Of tho high
manner in which the press commented on
their entertainments elsewhere, the papers
Of this city we're expected to insert $lo OF
slj notice of their approaching performance
in each issue without charge, ard in return
So worth of tickets for the printers wa
deemed a sufficiently prodgal compensation
This WAS the third economy, but did no
work AZ we'll as was expected. A few hun
, dred handbills scattered about the city wouI'
o also have been desirable, but printers INK
ike the smiles Of fortune, must be secured
: by greenbacks, and as further measure G
economy, was dispensed with. When GU
J, Italian friends opened their lips to MARBLE
d they were therefore greeted with more empt
benches than the most unassumlng genlu
i. could appreciate. The verdict OF Their re
ID listeners followed in very few words lhe
r entertainment was killed by too great
Is pressure of economy. We trust their VI
IS happy fate will prove a warning to whoms'
= ever may follow them.
