Ong and painful illness, the sSt, Louis r
nd Omaha packet line died. Its de- =
ease, although not entirely unexpected,
as cast a gloom over q large circle of
riends and benefsctors, to whom its loss z
irrepsrable. The disease which has -
Torked this havoc in our midst has con- W.
bsff1ed the skill of our most emil pn
river physicians, but it is supposed UH
be acute paralysis, attended by the :
reorganization of the Whole system, su- g
erinduced by 8 serious cold, aggravated Fa

on of railroads. Even silver couldn't

fate are memorable, 1t is gratifying TO DA
now that its last moments were elevated +
? every earthly attention, and it breath @
Its last without a struggle, and with
1bounded faith in ths future (of rail
ads.) After grief had found consolation
tears, and the hearts of the mourners -
I'd become calm, worldly thoughts began
take possession of their minds, and
that they were the heirs to all
at was left, they began to look about
en- for something to divide. The clos Tn
and desks were ransacked, and many -"
emingly valuable papers discovered,
1t on examining them, 1t was found

Il weight; they were :sll 'O's,' and
left in disgust, exclaiming: Give

The st. Louis Republican, of Wednes- ton
justly goes for the Government 9Ics
boats in this wise: "There is a SESn

ar this steamer occupies her time in rem

board to pull snags, instead of dredg-
the land from the channel, which
