A Boy on His Travels to the Land Of Big
Pears.
From the Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
On Wednesday bright looking lad Of
ten years Of age called at our Office and
asked the privilege of looking over the ex-
changes. We gave him permission, when
he drew q chair up IA the table, put his
feet Oh it, took out q badly charred briar-
root pipe, fumbled down into the bottom
Of his pocket for smoking tobacco, bor-
rowed from US q match, and went to work
scanning the papers with the zeal, mo-
tions and grace of veteran editor,
down the papers, he inquired at what
marking that. no would DO much obliged
hVy $hn inf ia
question, and then asked him one. In
iteply he said Ae was bound for San Frau
cisco. That he was from scranton, Pa,
where he had last year driven trade as q
newsboy and boot black, and conceived the
idea of going farther West He started
last June, travelling on foot aud dead-head-
ing by rail until no reached Northern Hi
nois, about harvest time, where he remain
cd for nearly month with farmer, help
ing to get off his crop by drying a ma
chine. He was flush again, and started on
his tramp, striking acrosa Iowa, partly by
this place. The little fellow does not be-
long to the impertinent young America,
though he has some of its characteristics.
There is no insolence in his behavior; though
he sometimes puts on the airs of older per-
sons in exhibiting some of their most
prominent vices. He has slept in all man.
ner of places, sometimes in a cowshed, on
depot platforms. in lanes, in farm houses,
and wherever he could get shelter. He
speaks very highly of tho hospitality o
Iowa farmers and Iowa landlords, but says
that he occasi onally meets with q ourmMd-
gean who denies him shelter. but he has
nothing to complain OF, for it is his bnsi-
ness to get the place to sleep, and anothers
to give it to him. He says that he has,
once or twice, been kicked ont of railroad
offices, and several times been put of trains,
but they were only temporary inconvenien-
ces. He hopes by hook or crook to reach
California before winter sets in. He is az
lively as Q cricket. Neither drinks nor
swearu, and at the end of his Journey will
be hero.
A Steamboat Runs Half an Hour With.
cut an Engineer.
From the Monroe (I.a.) Telegraph.
The steamer Rob Roy met with most
singular accident ON her last trip down
from this place. The engineer on the
second night watch had just gone on duty.
He was seen by one Of the watchmen az
ter going on duty, attending the engines
and otherwise overseeing tho machinery.
When last noticed he was standing on tia
fan at the stern of the steamer (the Rob
Roy is stern-wheel boat, oiling the &C.
centric and gudgeon. About half an hour
later the watchman reported to Captain
Benedict that the engineer was missing
This announcement caused no little con-
sternation, since no one knew in what
condition the boilers or engines were, nor
how soon before some fatal explosion
would take place which would cause the
death of all on board. The engineer
previously relieved was immediately
aroused and sent below. He found the
boilers nearly red hot, the supply OF water
having been slapped by the missing engi-
neer, as is frequently done on steam-wheel
boats, where the doctors speed cannot he
regulated as Oh side-wheel boats, and he
also found the engines considerably dam
aged. The fires were Immediately put out
and the boat tied az for few hours, af-
ter which steam was sa:sed in ono of the
boilers, aud the boat proceeded on to New
Orleans, where she is now undergoing re-
pairs preparatory to resuming her regular
weekly trips to Monroe and Trenton. The
missing engineer undoubtedly fell into the
river At the stern Of the bort A short dis
tance below the point on the river where
he was last noticed by the Waterman, Ills
body was found by Capt Clip Duke, and
was buried by that gentleman. 1t was hall
IN hour after he was seen ut the boats
stern before his absence was observed, and
thus the boat must have run half an hour
without m engineer. This is, doubtless,
one Of the most singular steamboat acci-
dents on record.
