Maggie MltcheIl az Harper's Tb eatre
next Saturday

Our citizens will have an excellent
opportunity of witnessing Maggie Mitchell
in two of her best deliueations next Satur-
day; and the idea OF having both an after
noon and evening performance is good
one. From the way the seats are selling
and the numerous enquiries made about
the performances and the general interest
manifested in Miss Mitchell. there will
undoubtedly be crowded houses and those
wishing to secure choice places should lose
10 time in engaging them.
The New Y ork Herald says of her:
The new five act drama, 'Lorle; or, the
Tiny Belle of the Canton" was performed
for the FIRST time in Brooklyn, and The fair
and fashionable audience which wes pres
ent, by their unstinted applause, sci the
guinea stamp of their approval upon the
play. Miss Mitchell was youthful, grace
ful and as vivacious as ever. Her old time
admirers could detect no shadow of dimi-
mutton OF that girlish buoyancy of carriage
and spirit which has always been associat-
ed with her appearance. "Lorle," is a
pretty and picturesque drama and cannot
fail to entertain.
"Fanehon the Cricket" will be present
ed at the Saturday matinee.
Seats can be secured at WyIie & Nc

Altar Tweuty.Four Years.

The Davenport Democrat contains an
interesting item 10 regard to the hnding
of the safe of the steamer Efhe Alton,
splendid side wheeler. which was sunk "A
years ago near the old Mississippi bridge.
The safe was found by three or four
youths. on Tuesday afternoon while fishing
near Offerman's Island. At the time the
steamer sunk, the bridge was partly
burned and the affair was published all
over the country. It will be remembered
that she came from the south. and while
endeavoring to pass up the draw channel,
was struck by sharp wind, and driven
against the north pier with crash that
overturned couple of stoves and fired
| her; the flames CONN municated to the
bridge, and two or three spans of it we're
DESTROYED, as it was of wood. The boat
was burned to the hull, and the hull
Hoated down stream, and sunk in what
was then the channel Just below and op.
posite Smoky Point. This was on the
9th day of May, 1865. This safe had
dropped into the hull and sunk with it, Of
course. The captain OF the steamer
was Jacob Hurd. The Alton was a new
boat, brought round from the Ohio river,
where she cost $4,000. she was an
elegant side wheeler. Captain Hurd sued
the bridge company for damages. but the
comrany had the longest purse, and the
case stopped in the United States Supreme
Court without final DECISION because the
captain was dead.
The safe was discovered on Tuesday by
the hooks of trot line getting fastened
about its handles, and when the boys saw
what they had procured pully and tackle
and pulled it out of the bar and brought
it to Markley's second hand store, Main
street, Davenport. aud he gave the boys
50 so for it-taking his chances on a good
find inside, for the boys had not opened it
| 1t is an old style salamander safe, about
three feet square, and covered with round
top bolt heads as large as half an egg.
! At the time the boat was sunk the clerk
reported that there were several hundred
dollars IN the safe-indeed, the safe con-
tents were put 10 the bill for damages.
La the afternoon. before Mr.. Markley
could open the safe, two citizens called
upon him. and forbade him doing any
thing with it until they could telegraph
the clerk of the boat, who is in st. Louis
concerning it. His reply has not been
rsce;ved as yet. Meanwhile the safe is
chained to lamp post in front OF Mark
ley's store, :thes object of a good deal of
curiosity.''i

esting if true. which it is not The whole

Stop 20 the mirtb Of yon merry train,
Cease ye the music and close ye the door,

SO bright and so gay as you saw her OF yOre.
Her wit and her laughter no more will you
She was borne away from earth's iorfOw and
Across the dark river so grim and 80 cold.
We gaLed on the face that was death'y still,
And those features that suffering told.
While her spirit was wandering with freedom
Where the mist from the splendor had
rolled.
We touched the cold brow with loving hand
While our hearts seemed bleeding and sore,
Bat no voice or oarees that we cOald command
COULD bring her to US any more.
Gone Gone from the friends who loved heI
so we'll,
Gene from parents and brothers dear,
Who still can hear the last farewell,
That was whispered when death was near
And to our minds come thoughts OF the past
When life and Its JOYS were given
To her who has seen OF earth's pleasures the
last,
And can smile with the angels In Heaven
And we see her now In the evening light,
When the shadowB are long on the lea,
ullounded by friends 80 Joyous and bright
In spot where she loved to ne.
