COMPULSORY PILoTAGE.-The question Of
abolishing. compulsory pilotage is exercising
ship-owners considerably, both in this country
and in England. The columns Of the English
commercial papers TEEN with communications
pro and con on the subject, and quick and pom
derous are the blows given and received by the
abolitioniss and their opponents. British
ship judging from the number ofnews-
paper communications, appear to be pretty
unanimous against the compulsory system, and
as they are the parties who would suffer the
most from any detrimental change, their opin-
ion on the subject is important. The matter
does not appear to have taken so strong hold
on the commercial class in this country, though
many ship-owners complain OF the oppressive.
ness Of the present system, and the injustice OF
being taxed for piotagc that has not only ney-
or been performed but is unnecessary. 1t is diff
ficult to sec why ship-owner should be oblig-
ged to pay for pilot when his own captain Is
competent to DO the work, and which in some
voyage. This was illustrated in recent case.
A vessel is stated to have arrived at Richmond,
Virginia, her freight earnings amounting to
but $3.50, out of which SITS had to be paid for
pilotage. It has been stated, also, rs showing
sells were lost in as many years within pilotage
ground while in charge of captains, some fifty
were lost or injured by the carelessness or inet-
fcicncy ofpilots But this is nota fair compar
ison, as the number Of vessels that enter port
in charge Of pilots vastly exceeds those without
pilots The pilots hold that without the COM
pulsory law the business of plotting would be-
come extinct; that it would not pay the cx-
penses Of the necessary number of boats for
the service and that in short time, no mat
ter how urgent the services of pilot might be,
none would be forthcoming. But it does not
follow that the business would become extinct
by the abrogation Of the compulsory feature,
which probably may not be SO Objectionable
here as on the other side Of the Atlantic. As
the services ofpilots would only be needed in
such an event by captains strangers to the port,
it would be necessary to regulate their number
to accommodate the demand. 1t is hardly
possible that plotting as profession would be-
come among the things Of the past were the
desired amelioration efected.--Ner York

Capt. Dodge, of Blue Grass, Iowa, We
learn, has bat little hope of saving his limb.
Three slices of the bone were cut out, max
ing a frightful wound to heal over. He was
reported resting easy yesterday afternoon
and bears IN well under the fearful shock
his nervous system has received.
Mr.. Kehoe, whom we reported yesterday
as being crushed between the cars neal lowe
City, did not have his ribs broken, but the
abdominal walls we're ruptured, 80 that the
iutessines were ex exposed. His injuries are
very severe. His sister has gone to attend
him, and word received last evening reports
him as laying very low.
Mr.. J. Shields received about u, 900
pounds OF wool from Maquoketa yesterday.
Hon. A. R. Cotton, Member OF Congress
from Iowa, will deliver the Grafton at Le-
Claire, Iowa, On the Fourth.
Mr.. Henry Longbottom, of Moline, while
attending q school picnic at lie Claire, a few
days since, was bit in the knee by q random
shot from a revolver fired by q young man.
The wound was dressed by DR.. Gamble, who
thinks his patient will not be permanently
crippled.
In Davenport, yesterday, a lad named
Frank Mead, who was sent TO iail a few
days since for want of $500 bonds, attem ut.
ed to escape as he was being taken from the
jail to his afternoons work in the stone
yard. Hesucceeded in breaking loose from
the guard and gave the deputy sheriff a
lively hustle, but the liberty-loviug youth
was caught and tenderly cared for. 1t is
not probable that he will make q similar
attempt for some time.
The picnic, yesterday afternoon, held un-
der the auspices of the Sunday School of
Trinity church, was q complete success. A
large company was in attendance, the bas.
kets were well filed, and everything passed

al that is necessary to uourish every part of
the human body carbon to furnish fat and

cases of invalida,-especislly children, have
been restored to health by the use Of this
patent food, when, before its use, their lives
literally trembled in the balance. 1t is the
duty Of any one having the charge of the
