A five year old son of Mr.. G. NJ. De
wore. of Davenport, fell off the ferry dock
in that city last night and was drowned.
The boy, who was sort of an urchin, was
in the habit of playing about the dock,
and on several occasions had been sent
away by Edward Dallen, who runs the
booth on the dock. Last evening he ap,
peared again having with him a small
wooden express" MACON, and after
playing about the shore for some time
went upon the dock. Mr.. Dallen was
first attracted by the boy dipping his
wagon into the water, while lying face
downward upon the dock, and asked hin
why he did so, when the response eamt
that one of the wheels of the Wagon
failed to turn as it ought to, and he wa.
doing this to make it work right. Mr.
Dallen ordered the boy away but soor
| discovered him on the east end of tht
dock, leaning over and holding the Wagon
tongue while the box foated in the water
But just as Mr.. Dallen looked the DO!
lost his balance aud fell into the river
| Mr.. d. hurried to the scene where thu
boy was last seen, but could see nothing
but the end of the boys fingers and the,
soon disappeared. An anxious Grove
soon gathered on the dock, and an effor
was made to secure the body, but with
out success. The accident is a particu
larry sad one. The little boy has beef
without the care of parents, as Mr.. De
wore is divorced from his wife, and th,
father is at home very little of the time
Let all parents watch their little ones ant
keep them away from the river. The fat,
of young Devore is fearful warning.

Ocean Travel.

One who has never Travelled unon the
ocean expects to find it somewhat thickly
populated. He thinks of the vast travel and
traffic that goes over the waters, and he is
ready to imagine that the great deep is alive
with the hurrying to and fro of nations. He
reads OF lands "whose commerce whitens
every sea-" and which is as full of sails MS the
harbor of some mighty metropolis But he
finds his mistake. AS he leaves the land the
ships begin to disappear. AS he goes on his
way they soon all vanish, and there is moth.
ing about him but the blue sea and the blend
ed sky. Sometimes he may meet or over
take solitary ship during the day hut
then, again, there will be many days when
not single sail will cross the horizon
There are spaces measured by thousands OF
miles over which no ship has eyer passed.
The idea of a nations Commerce whitening
every sea" is the widest fancy. If all the
ships that have ever been built were brought
together in single fleet, they would fill but
hands breath of the ocean The space,
therefore, that man and his works occupy on
the sea is as small in extent MS the hold on
it by his power is slight and SUPERFICIAL
Both together arc nothing The ocean covers
three-fourths of the surface of the globe, and
by far the greater part of this vast expense
is, and ever has been, entirely free from his
presence and visitation.

TIE Cholera Scourge.

ROME, September la veritable
panic prevails among the populacs In
some Of the districts infected with the
cholera. In many instances physicians,
in attempting to minister to cholera pa
tients, have been brutally maltreated,
and in some cases wounded with
knives. The persons making these as
saults labor under the delusion that the
doctors are engaged in poisoning the
people. The desire of the popuiace To
prevent the spread Of the infection has
led them, in some instances, to offer
armed opposition to railroad traffic.
The Pope has issued an encyclical let
ter, in which he enjoins upon the faith.
full that prayers should be offered
against the cholera and also for the
freedom Of the Holy See and the pros
perity Of the church.
ALICANTE, September lit is fear

Two suspicious deaths have occurred in
a family which recently came from
Algiers. Three others in the family are

have been burned and Gordon estab-
lisbed about the house.
