and another lady walked the streets
from early dawn to dewy eve = to
find somebody to do their washing
for them, and after all made total
failure. Now we think before we
would have taken such trip as that
in the hot sun, In such weather as we
have now, we would have pitched into
those clothes like mad, and washed
them out ourself. We know q lady
who would have had them all washed
out and hung on the pickets, before
those two had got dressed and started
on their Iaborious promenade; and
before they had returned she would
have almost forgotten that it had been
wash day. And this one Is just one
of the sweetest ladies in the world.
II seems like the clothes she washes
are even pleasater to wear than any
others. We passed door, not long
ago, and looked IN. There was The

ADJUSTMENTS.

Last evening Harper's Theatre was occu-
pied by the Haverly's Widow Bedott Com
pany, which produced the farcical oddity
entitled Widow Bedott" c. B. Bishop
sustained the character of the Widow, -
and convulsed the audience with his fine
rendition of the laxative widow in search
of her second husband. Mr., Bishop is a
comedian OF great reputation, and his por-
trayal of the character of the Widow
was extremely funny. The play is differ
ent version from that given by Neil Bur
CESS, and in some respects it is far superb
or, Jas. O. Barrows, as The Elder, .
played his part to perfection and managed
to share part of the honors Miss Lizzie

and made the best of her lines. Haverly's

was exhausted and then he put up his
time keeper for collateral, and soon had a
full cargo of liquor on board. He became
unsteady in his gait and fell by the way
side. A policeman assisted him to the
armory and this morning his case came up
before Justice Chopper. That official gave
the prisoner to understand that, as teach
er of the young idea he (the prisoner)
should be more temperate in his habits
The lecture cost Buttus just $3, as that

nRITUARY.

The death of Mrs. ]. V. Mahoney, wife
of Mr.. Mahoney of the R. /. & p. railroad,
occurred yesterday afternoon, and although
the deceased had been sick for long
period, her death yesterday was very sud
den and unexpected. In fact Mr.. Mahoney,
having important railroad business to
transact in Peoria, was absent from home
when his wife breathed her last. He was
at once notified and returned to this city as
soon as possible, arriving during the night.
Mrs Mahoney had been an invalid for
several years before her death, and was a
great sufferer. No marked change was APP
parent in her condition yesterday morning,
and she was not taken worse until during
the afternoon, when death soon2 relieved
her sufferings.
Mrs. Mahoney had large number of
friends and acquaintance, who with her
family will mourn the loss of q devoted
wife, true friend and Christian lady.

AN ACCIDENT.

Constable Hall who returned from Jack
sonville with Lewis, an incurable patient
of that institution, yesterday, reports that
an inmate of the asylum from this county,
named Smith, had an accident befall him
last Tuesday. Smith, while walking over
the bridge which connects the main build
ing with the chapel, jumped over the rail
ing and fell to the ground beneath. His
leg was broken above the knee, and it is
thought that he received internal injuries
which may prove to be of serious nature.
Smith is another incurable case, and it was
the intention of the authorities to return
him to this city, but his stay at Jackson
vile was made necessary by the accident
above noted.

THE NEW DEPOT,

The committee appointed by the Mayor
at the last council meeting to interview the
managers of the c. R. I. &. p. in regard to
new depot in this city, will probably
not visit Chicago for several days.
1t will be remembered by the old citi-
zens, that at the time the present depot
was constructed, q petition was circulated
and numeroIsly signed, asking that the
depot be changed to a more central loca-
ton. Work was suspended for three
months, during which time the matter was
discussed. AT the end of that period, no
further move was made to bring the depot
west, and work was continued on the
present depot.
1t is expected that the company officers
will investigate the matter, and from such
investigation good results are anticipated

RURAL SIMPLICITY.

There is a superstition in this city to the
effect that sometime in past days. the city
council passed an ordinance prohibiting
cows from making a pasture of our princi-
pal streets, and whether or not this is true
1t would perhaps be something of an i'm
provement although it would detract some
little from the beautiful rural appearance
of our streets, to prohibit the use of our
avenues to mischievous cows in the future.

A FALL.

This morning the Keokuk n. L. ware
house caved in with terrible crash, and
soon a large crowd of people were gather
ed about the fallen structure. Fortunately
no one was in the warehouse at the time of
the accident. The building was badly
used up by the recent breakup of the river,
large cakes of ice having knocked in the
sides and floor It's total destruction was
therefore not a surprise.
