Breaking Up.

At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the ice
in the Mississippi broke up at Muscatne,
and commenced moving away. 1t stopped
in about an hour" evidently having
gorged at the tow head, the JourHal says.
A telegram to this paper from Clinton
I'VE are indebted to the p 4 A. telegraph
for it says the ice moved there at p. m,
yesterday, but soon stopped, checked by
the bridge
1t has broken up in patches along on the
Rapids above us-but there is no move
ment in front Of this city vet, though one
may be now expected any moment
The river is high and rising.
ROCK RIVER.
We learn from viii Negus, who was at
the Rock river bridges to-day that the
river there is clear as far ms can be seen.
up and down that the water is booming
high-at Johnston mill the water below
the dam is as high as above it, no dam be
ing perceptible. OF course Johnston's
mills are stopped Hakes's lumber mill
was running, aud 50 was Sears -four mill
at South Rock Island
About one-half of one pier in one Of the
small city bridges has been battered down
by the ice. Everything else is safe or
supposed to be, as the ice is out What
may happen when the ice comes from
above of course cant be told.
z. S.-As we go to press there as a ru-
NOR that one of the city bridges at Rock
river has entirely gone out THE one near
est Milan, but the rumor cannot be traced
to any reliable source. We learn that
Mayor Murdoch, in answer to a request of
Bridge-Tender Gray, has gone out to sec
what is needed to protect the property of
the city. If the bridge has gone, rope
ferry must be established Immediately,
and the bridge be rebuilt as soon as prac-
ticable.
T. 5. No. Marshal Mitsch, who went
out with the Mayor, has Just returned, and
he says the bridge is not gone, but has
been partly lifted from the piers, and one
end is swinging loose so that, at present,
teams cannot pass it Men are at work on
it, propping it up. They can pass it on
foot and il is thought that few hours
work will make it passable for teams
There is no ice in that channel now, but il
is passing down past Hakes's mill and
things look squally, Milan is pretty much
under water.

MEDICAL,
DIR. WISTAR'S
BAlslM Or WILD CHERRY

Is peculiarly adapted to every disease of the limos
and liver which is produced by our ever VARYING
climate.
There is, perhaps, no disease with which our
country Is affected, which sweeps of annually so
many victims that fell destroyer of the human
race-COnsumption. Day after day, year after year
the insatste monster hurres the cold and silent
portals Of the tomb fresh added victims to its
quest No walk of life is sacred from its blighting
influence. No age is exempt from its death deal
ing shafts. The old, the middle aged and the
young, all alike, are food for this common enemy
OF mankind. The white haired patriarch whose
life Of temperance has rendered his system imper.
vious to the attacks OF other ills, and whose good
deeds prepared him for the enjoyment OF life's
calm evening, finds consumption fastening its fangE
upon his vials, and tearing him from a world even
bright TO minds which look complacently on days
well spent.
Consumption, in its confirmed and incipent
stages, coughs asthma, Group, and liver complaint
form by far the most fatal class of diseases known
TO our land. Yet even those may be cured by
means of the simple yet powerful remedies that arr
scattered wherever these maladies prevail

Evening

Rev. Father Sabungi. priest of the
Syrian rite and nation, will lecture this ev-
ening in St Mary church, in Rock Island,
on the remarkable scenes Of the passion Of

missionary in Jerusalem, Nazareth, Beth
iehem, and other places sanctifed by the

The language Of his rite is Aramaic ;

Italian with great facility, and in English
his descriptions Of the holy places are very
interesting j p r

Oh, heart Of mine you're willful thing,
And trouble to me at best:
have taught u long, and tutored you we'll,
But still You are never at rest.
What is it you want, you greedy gnome,
That you moan like child In pain?
III crowned you monarch of rolling spheres,
believe 1t would be m vain.
have wrought in the midnight's starry hours,
And on till the morning gray; Ts as
have toiled in the sultry tropics heat,
I'll the cease of the weary DAY;
Ny pen has brought you measure of fame
Heaped up to the very brim,-
A name that shall live when centuries roll
Back into the ages dim.
PVe gathered you wealth that might dover &
have throned you in regal state;
For you l wrestled with many foe, r
COnquerilg even fate.
have knen at your shrine like the veries
slave,
With trophies from every land;
Gems from the sea, and gold from the mine,
Have been scattered with lavish hand.
And honor unstained-oh, heart of mine,
What is it you ask for more2
knowledge is thine; I have sought 1t out
From the pages of ancient lore.
Love! Lowell my heart that taught so long2
My heart, that crushed with will?
How dare you stir meath your silken Iobes,
Moaning and fretting still?
How dare you ask for impossible things,
Oil viper that have fed2
Why do you madden me, day by day.
Till wish might see you dead.
Lowell never, never, my traitor hearti
So comfort yourself with pride
Fold il royalty over shaTpest pain
For you there is naught beside.

PRESIDENT GRANT is reported to have
expressed desire to see Miss Cushman in
"Meg Merriles" during that lady's recent
engagement in Washington, and was pre-
sented with private box at Wallis OPera
House. After the first act Mrs Grant and
two friends made their appearance, but no
President although wait of several min
utes had been mGde. The play proceeded,
and between the second and third acts the
President made his appearance when the
orchestra, breaking off in the music they
were playing, struck 10 "Hail to the Chief.
Regarding this as an unwarranted Interrupt
ton of the piece, Miss Cushman became
indignant and pertmptorily demanded that
the play proceed. Her order was obey
ed, to the great surprise of the Presidents
flatterers.

The multiplicity of clerks aud the scar
city of young men following trades in
cities is matter often commented upon,
and the expressions of opinion in regard to
it are almost universally derogatory to the
first class named. 1t may never have struck
people that the school of instruction in the
mechanical arts is practically closed nova
days. Any one who wishes can be clerk,
but not every one can be mechanic, no
matter how earnestly he may desire it. The
trade organizations, which limit and pro-
hibit the taking of apprentices to various
occupations, are cruel combinations against
the youth of the country and criminal con-
spiracies against the best interests of socie-
ty. Under their sway there is growing up
vast community of idlers, hundreds of
whom are driven, almost by necessity, into
crime.

SENSATIONAL marriages may be simple
or complex. A full-dress ceremonial, with
Wedding March on the organ, is, perhaps,
beyond the means and facilities of De-
Witt, Iowa; bat school madam there
made her ruptials the conclusion ofa school
exhibition, and another couple, not to be
outdone in novelty, were joined on the
stage after a temperance lecture. These
things are matter Of taste, but we cannot
help thinking the timid, shrinking, blushing
bride little the pleasantest to consider.

Tennessee bonds are quoted in New

New York are very heavy indeed. Whether
holders are ''unloading" or spectators
selling "short;;" or whether il is that
''shorts" are covering we caun)t say, but it
is certain there is some activity and larger
transactions than for months past.
State warrants are getting very dull, with
more appearing on the market than usual.
Dealers buy small lots at So, and for large
amounts they will not offer over Csc.
There is more enquiry at present for
Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad stock

it may be quoted as firm at 65c.
