The continued cold weather during
the past few days had the effect which
was feared by the steamboat interests.
The heavy floating ice made navigation
dangerous and yesterday it was report
ed that the river was closed at a num-
Der of points. The Allegheny closed
near Pittsburg, and the Monongahela
is frozen over from Lock No. l to its
source. Two towboats were plying
backward and forward Sunday and
Monday at Pittsburg, trying to keep the
channel open, but on Sunday the ice
formed as fast as they broke il. There
are about 1000, 900 bushels of coal in
the pools and the operators are thank
full that the remainder was taken away
before the freeze came. 1t was report
ed last night that the river was frozen
over at or near Parkersburg, but the
report could not be verified. A tele-
phone message to the Register from
Steubenville stated that the river was
about closed at that point at midnight
The Keystone State, which left
Wheeling at noon Sunday, had an
eventful trip to Pittsburg Capt Knox
said that of all his years of experience
on the river he never put in such a
time as he did Saturday night and Sun
day night His boat left Wheeling at
noon, and Capt. Knox said that in com
ing up the river his vessel would meet
great masses of ice three and four acres
wide, and it was like travelling through
the Arctic regions to pillow into such
deep mass of frozen water The cap
tain said he felt certain the river was
closed between Pisttburg and Wheel
ing. The river was almost closed at
Cables Eddy when he passed up at an
early hour. The hull of the vessel was
a mass of ice when she arrived and she
will remain at Pittsburg until the
weather mOderates.
Other boats have also been tied up at
all points along the river. The Vir-
GINA continued through to Cincinnati,
and will remain there until there is a
thaw. One of the best ice harbOrs
along the river is located at the Bell
aire bridge, and there are half a dozen
boats lying there awaiting an improve
ment in the condition of the river. The
Lexington and Bedford have gone TO
bank, and the Liberty is lying up at
Parkersburg. Captain Booth intended
to make the trip back to Wheeling, but
changed his mind yesterday. The Ben
Hur dropped down below the coal fleet
at the Bellaire bridge
The stage of water last night was
feet II inches, falling. The weather
last night was much warmer, but it is
not likely that navigation will be re-
sumed for several days, as there are
still large quantities of ice running out,
and the thermometer is still below the
freezing point. There must be a very
pronounced change toward milder
weather to permit the packets to re-
sumo their trips before the latter part
of the week. If the weather becomes
colder. it is not unlikely that the river
will be practically closed from Pitts
burg to Parkersburg.

pumpkin pies because then we had not

The normal process of the evolution
Of editors was simply the gradual dele
cation Of powers by the printer or book
seller who had first employed some in
habitant Of Grub street as drudge, and
when the work became too complex and
delicate had handed over the duties to
men Of special literary training. Two
very important periodicals, however, of
this period show a certain reversion to
the olden type. The Edinburgh Review
owed part of it's success to its independ-
ence of publishers It was started not
by speculator who might wish to puff
his own wares, but by little knot Of
audacious youths who combined as Steele
and Addison combined in The Specta-
tor. 1t seems that at first they scarcely
even contemplated the necessity of an
editor, and Sydney Smith was less ed
itor than president Of the little COM
mittee of authors at the start.
When Jeffrey took up the duty he
was careful to make it understood that
his work was to be strictly subordinate
to his professional labors. and he had no
inkling that his fame would come to
depend upon his editorship. The Edin.
burgh. however, soon became review
Of the normal kind. Cobbett, on the
other hand, started his Political Register
as kind Of rival to The Annual Regis
ter. It was to be mainly a collection Of
state papers and official documents, but
it soon changed in his hands into the
likeness of Defoe's old Review. It be-
came personal manifesto Of Cobbett
himself, and as such held most impor-
tant place in the journalism Of the time
But Cobbett was, and in some ways re-
mains, unique, and, as the newspaper
has developed, the 1--WE" has superseded

CoNvlCTs' FUND.

Intimations That It Has Been Improp-

Progress.
COLUMBUS, O., June s.-There are in.
timations of an improper use of money
belonging to convicts at the peniten'
tiary which is on deposit at the war
den's office. An investigation now
in progress will enlighten the
authorities of the institutiou
as to whether certain of their
predecessors are guilty of any wrong
doing or whether the charges are
simply idle talk. II is stated that there
is in existence at the penitentiary
a fund known as the convicts fund.
Whenever prisoner behind the walls
acquires any money at all. it is taken
by the officials in charge and placed to
the convicts credit in this fund. He is
