The case of the youthful organ grinder
Escabo, whose father was drowned from
the wharf.boat of the Cairo and Vinccnncs
railroad Saturday night, presents some sad
features. The father and son were lying
on the guard of the wharf.boat awaiting the
arrival of an up-bound steamer Sleep
overcame both. During the night the
father awoke, and, it is supposed, while in
drowsy, half.dazed state, walked over
board. The drowning mans cries aroused
the attention of persons on the boat, who
ran 10 his rescue, but reached the spot too
late to render assistance. II was thought
best not Ia awake the little fellow at the
time. and he was allowed to rest undiSturb.
cd until morning. AT first when told of his
fathers fate. he laughed, and supposed the
kind.hearted fellows about him were Joking,
and il was some time before he rcali2edand
believed the truth Berctt of his parent at
the age Of seven years, in a strange land,
among strangers, the tears that flowed from
the poor little fellow in the first shock of
grief were natural and affected men pres
ent much Older than his father. Finally he
was transferred by a tue TO one Of 'hc low
or whart.boatS. where he was fortunate
enough 10 fall into thcshands of Sol, Silver
and other sympathizing gentlemen, who
took him in charge, made his case known,
furnished him certificates vouchng for the
truth OF his unfortunate condition, and
yesterday, propped up on box that he
might turn the handle of bis dead father,
organ, he reaped harvest Of nicklcs. He
intends going on to New York, and We
have no doubt that our people Will see t. it
that he has means sufficient to take him
there in proper manner.
-Sancho Panza said, God bless the man
who first invented sleep" God blcs, the
man who first invented cottonwood trees
for shading purposes, say We. He was a
hencfactor, and deserves well Of his h'1d.
If he does not reap the reward Of his ct-
forts in this world. he may rest ASSURED he
will not miss il in the next. In these hot
sultry days the vicinity OF The ButiET \
building is a paradise for poets, A1y of
the tribe can loaf around on the railing and
by the least cxcrci., of vivid imas nation
see the b,au,''u snow dc-ccnding on the
streets and houSc-topS below, and
dream that once he was pure
as that bcau' tul snow; but 10 fellow
to whom primrose by the rivers BIN Il
yellow primrose j. to him, the sight has
depressing effect It blinds the eyes, fills
the nostris, intcrtrrcs with respiration:
covers his clothing with nap and gives him
the appearance OF 4 sovcn. Al invest "a
ton, conducted upon scientific principles,
reveals the important fact that the cot N.
wood (populus mop''itera) is, IKE the hu.
man race, divided into sexes; and that the
shedding of down while in state Of sicca-
ion (sicco, siccatuS) is peculiar to the
female cottonwood This being 'hc case,
of course all further complaint from lis
ceases. The man who would raise his
voice to woman, save in the
way of kindness, lacks prudence,
and it would De base hattcry to call him
fool When we find one of our own sex
violating the prophecies Of life we do not
hesitate to tackle him, and are willing to
take the consequences. In this case We are
helpless. II certainly is not the part Of
Il gloritied manhood to abuse poor, weak,
unprotected female cottonwood. but We
think she might he taught manners if she
were taken in hand by members of her
own sex. At any rate the suggestion can
do no harm.
