A writer In the Davenport Trtbunt
moralizes as follows:
The deckhand who fell from his ham
mock last Friday and injured himself
died last night. Who cares? Whatd
he amount to anyway? Was there
single member OF any foreign misslonar,
society In this city who paid the poo
wretch visit We published the fac
that he was lying at the Lafayette
House What Christian lady in Thu
city took this dying man bouquet o
flowers, or went to see il letter migh
be written to mother, a wife or daugh
ter {? What does religion consist OF II
these latter days? There is nothing,
absolutely nothing, OF the. We wer.
going to speak OF the great Master, T,
work on earth, but we forbear. Their
are three or four aristocratic Christian
clubs. called churches, in this city, anc
we say it not to their shame only
but to our own, that this stranger died
unheeded, AS brute. He was only
roustabout: nothing more.
Capt. John KouDS Is pushing thing

The st. Louis Republican says that th'
James Howard since her recent over
hauling, looks as good as new.
