Down Pretty Low.

A dispatch from Alton tells of low
water conditions on the river down
that way:
The extraordinary low water in the
Illinois and Mississippi rivers has al
most resulted in ostracising Calhoun
county from the world without, and
from Illinois the fertile point is now
only accessible by way of the three or
four hand ferries which ply the river
between the Calhoun and Green and
Jersey shores. In the Mississippi
the water has SO receded that the
steamers St. Paul, Sidney, Pittsburg
and Bald Eagle have been withdrawn
and the Dora alone is touching the
county's western shores. The ILL
nois has practically dried up. The
water is dead. contaminated and I'M
fit for either use or navigation.
Having neither railroads nor tele-
graphic communication. this wealthy
agricultural county in Illinois is
practically land unto itself, with
less communication with the outside
world than the banks of New Found
land. Yesterday evening lone
