sad Death OF an Editor and His Child,

Mr.. c. i. Morvill died yesterday ofthe
prevailing disease. Last year he be
came attached to the corps Of the Dem

ties Of reporter, and occasionally wrote
editorials. Mr., Norval was native Of

war he left Lynchburg and settled in
Cincinnati, where he was engaged in
the tobacco business. While in Cin-
cinnattl he married, lived there and in
Ceyington until last year, when he came
to New Orleans, and finding business
here, settled and wrote for his wife and
child to join him. He was we'll pleas

was finally persuaded to give this idea
up, but On several occasions assisted in
nursing friends and neighbors sick Of the
fever. To this charity and philanthre-
py is doubles due his death. Last Fri
day he was taken sick. His illness and
death were peculiarly sad. He and his
child were attacked with fever within a

lay sick in the same bed, together they
died. The tie that bound them togeth,

Beginning OF Thy Sorrows, Little Heart

Just after sunset yesterday a bright
faced little glrl, attended by a playful
black-andtan pup, was at the pump
at Seventh and Walnut street. Near
by. on the curbstone, were two
sparrows chirping cheerfully. The pup
made a dash at them, and much to bis
delight one Of them was unable to fly.
1t was young one, and the other was
the mother. Seeing the danger Of her
young the old bird resorted to the usual
devices to attract the enemy to pursue
her. throwing herselfupou the ground
in front of him, tluttering almost in his
face and crying in distress. Thoroughly
excited and somewhat confused the
black-and-tan dashed first at one and
then at the other. The little girls heart
was touched for the bids, and calling
at the pup she started in pursuit. of him.
Dog, birds, and girl. for awhile all great
IL excited were flying here and there
about the gutter. now on the pavement
and again in the street. Finally, just,as
the pup pounced upon the young bird,
his little mistress seized him and drew
him into her arms. For an instant 1t
eemed the young bird was saved, but
the poor thing was frightened nearly T."

in the curbing it flew in, and nothing

strcamed with tears; she scolded ana
and gave the pup an affcctionate sort OF
beating, and putting his head near the
opening, said in most dstressful tones:
"See what you have done, you wicked,
wicked little dog; you have drowned
the poor little Bird" and when the
molher-bird huttcred around, looking
and crying for her young, she burst ia-
TO fresh tiers and cried as if her heart
would break. \ number of people wit

TIE SLEFPLEss FDIsoN.-One OF
Elson's strangest ideas is that a man
doesn't need to sleep. Probably he
hasn't enjoyed a proper amount Of rest
at at anv one time for three years
His brain goes like q saw-mill all the
time. and he says he has no time to
sleep. He experiments and works day
and night without cessation. When
bedtime comes Edison is as obliylous
Of the fact as one outside Of the Potter
Congress is Of the existence OF MIR.
Cronin, from Oregon. The great In
ventor digs away at his work until
nature Is completely exhausted. and
then he .umbles into bed for two OIL
three hours OF sleep. This may be al
morning, noon, or night, just as the Il
of weariness sezcs him. Not one mar
in ten could do it and live. But Edlsor
has n constitution like the 'onc-hos'
shay' Unpopular legend, and he dom
break down. He is wonderfully
tenacious, alike of health and ideas. a
friend who knows him intimately, tell
me that when Edison once gets it int
his head that a certain thing can b
done, he is going to demonstrate tn
fact, though the heavens fall. 1t he ha'
made a failure oi life, we should hav
said this was mere mulishness. But a
he IS a success, we may as we'll call
great perseverance. There is vas
difference between tweedle-dum an
