Whenever you see a small boy
emerging from the house with his
left arm shading his eyes and the
other smoothing the basement Of
his trousers, it is safe to arrive at
the conclusion that he has been
chasing the bootjack around his
father.

Thursday night a gentleman nam
ed Carl Schmida was drowned in
the Mississippi river as the steamer
City of Chester was landing at
Pacific Place. The unfortunate
man and his wife had shipped from
this point for the above named
place. Carl was aroused from his
sleep by his wife, and told by her
that they were ut the landing. He,
supposing that the boat was at the
bank, stepped overheard and pass
ed under the larboard wheel before
the Chester had stopped her head
way, aud never rose. Captain
Alex. Taylor, with usual kindness,
DELAYED one hour with his yawl,
searching for the missing man, but
all in vain. His remains have
found a grave in the mereiless
river Fate, his sexton, aud its
muddy waters his winding sheet.
Carl and his wife had been in the
employ of Mr.. Moore, of the Elm
wood cemetery nursery, for the past
two or three months, and were for
merly in the employ of Mr.. Scott,
of Lagrange, and were well-known
as honest and hard working Ger
mans. His wife will return to the
city by the steamer Frank Forrest.
! Should the remains of Carl be found,
the heartfelt thanks of poor widow
will reward the kind hand that
may give him a grave and inform
her of his last place of rest.
