DIED.At his fathers residence, near
fever, after u brief illness of three days.
JOHN NATHANIEL, son of Jno. II. and
NJ. 4. Milling, aged seven years and twenty
days.
Nat was a genial and cheerful little boy,
the pride and joy of an af1ectionate house,
hold. His schoolmates loved and caressed
him. His sparkling intellect excited in
the minds OF all who knew him hopes of !,
brilliant future. But like a sweet strain OF
music, ere it Eliminates on the evening
breezes, his chord of life was snapped and
his voice hushed in silence.
''Day after day, parents, think what he is
doing
In those bright realms of air;
Year after year, his tender stops pur-
suing,
Behold him grown more fair.
''Not as a child will you again behold him;
For when, with rapturcs wild, .t.
In your embraces you again cnfold him,
HOW'LL not be n child,
"But fair cherub in his Fathers mansion
Clothed with celestial grace;
And beautiful with all tho souls eNpar-
sion
Will you behold his tacc.''

Run Down..

A negro man was brought to town
and lodged in Jail last Tuesday, who
had stolen a horse from Richard Lee,
another colored man living ten miles
from Monroe. He was captured by
the Deputy Sheriff of Natchitoches
and posse OF eight men, after an eight
days. chase, a manifestation of official
diligence and success seldom met with
in the pursuit of criminals guilty of
even much greater crimes.

A playful little paragraph in this

the birth of twins in the household of
Mayor Endom. Within the past six

deep at1iiction. The brief little history

River News.

The river is about stationary, with a
! slight inclination to rise, and now
stands about II inches above dead low
water mark.
The d. Stein is still lying alongside
the sunken Mary Houston wharf-boat,
but as yet has not made an attempt to
raise her.
The Monroe merchants, owing to
the low stage of water, have been COM
PEELED to ship by rail ut 50 per bale
about as high as cotton should rule, in
our humble opinion.
Business on the levee has been toler-
from the Katie to wagons on the hill,
the Little Bob BIS freight, and the
usual transfer to Trenton has kept the
elevator quite busy the past week.
The machinery for the Katie ele-
vator is being put in position under
the supervision of Mr.. Wesley Duty, a
practical engineer, and will be in
working order in a few days. The
track is only partially completed, but
not very much work remains to be
done.
"Tobin's Train,' the J. M. White,
having changed her day of departure:
in the Vicksburg trade, to Saturday,
left New Orleans on that day along
with the Natchez. She passed Baton
Rouge at 1:2O am. Sunday, 2 hours
and 80 minutes ahead Of the Natchez !;
Bayou Sara $3.50 ahead passed Rodney
at pm. Sunday, and sailed into
Vicksburg at midnight, 81 hours out.
The Little Bob left for Colu mbia
Friday morning, where she met the
Pagan, with about 2O6 bales cotton,
and returned Sunday loaded flat. She
discharged the greater portion of her
cargo here and proceeded to Trenton.
She leaves for below this morning.
The steam pile-driver of the Bridge
Company is on the barge, and will be
ready for use carly next week, when
active operations will be begun in
driving the huge piles which lie on
the vacant lot corner Jefferson and
Walnut streets. The scarcity of labor
has been the cause of this work not
progressing more rapidly, but under
the circumstances good Roadway has
been made After the piles are driven
it will not require very lengthy pc
Rod of time to do the masonry, pro-
vided the masons can be had, and
after that portion is finished, the iron
work will be pushed forward rapidly,
and then Monroe's river front Will pre-
sent q handsome appearance.

Quick Railroad Work.

A VERY remarkable piece of work,
considering its magnitude and the short
space of time in which it was accom-
plished, was done on Tuesday of last
week on the New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio Railroad. This road was al
most the last in the country which used
the wide six-foot gauge, and it has for
some time been the purpose of the man.
agement to change this to the standard
gauge. In order to make the road
standard gauge throughout, arrange
ments were made to have the rails be-
tween Cleveland and Leavittsburg
moved toward each other Z 3-4 inches
each, the distance necessary to accom-
plish the desired result. In order to do
this force of 1000 men was stationed
along the line on Monday night, allow
ing forty-fve workmen to each five
miles. The men slept during the night
alongside the track, and at o'clock
Tuesday morning the work was begun.
To expedite matters, as many spikes had
been pulled beforehand as safety would
admit, and, when the work began Tues
day morning, it consisted in pulling five
spikes to the rail, moving the rail in and
spiking it in full. The entire distance
between Cleveland and Leavittsburg is
222 miles, in addition to which are 45
miles of side track, making total of
267 miles. The labor of moving the
rails, as above indicated, would, there
fore, be very great, but Notwithstanding
every difficulty, so complete had been
the arrangements, and so perfectly car
ried out, that the entire work was COM
pleted at 2 80 in the afternoon. Thus,
the regular business of the road was
hindered only ten hours and twenty
minutes, as, at 2:20 in the afternoon,
narrow gauge stock was put on and

nearest station, and from there to South

The road is pleasant one, and lies
through shaded lane, with here and
there long opening, and some com.
Portable dwellings set in dark ever
greens. A road that runs to the right
leads us to Hull and the village of Row

was the veritable parent of Rowley,
Mass; indeed all the inhabitants left
Rowley, York, with their Vicar, and
crossed the ocean to their new home.
South Cave Castle is truly a delightful
residence, and is well seen from the
road. 1t has, of course, undergone
some undermining since the Washing
tons resided there, but the dimensions
are the same, and the pleasant park is
circumscribed by the same boundaries.
Plate-glass windows have superseded
the old-fashioned mullions and lead
lights; and paneled doors have been
placed in frames, instead of the heavy
ones studded with nail-heads; but an
old engraving saw in York gives the
same walls and elms; and doubtless the
rocks are lineally descended from those
that heralded the springtime to John
Washington. -BelqTaCid.

Hot Weather i'm Mexico.

The morning sun was dancing over

hair wet, and his general look one of

famed himself with his hat.
