At 9 o'clock in tbe morning she heard him moving about his room, but be gave no lntimaiiou of illness or anything Unusual.

Mrs. Le Ciaire arose at her usual hour in the morning, aud went down stairs to attend to her household duties; she was surprised that her husbaud was Lot about, for he generally was up first. IX.wever, sue attended to the preparations tor breakfast. an I then went to his room to summon him. He was 00 his bed, a sheet covering him, aud bis tect protruding over tbe side of the bed, and looked exactly as if he was in a sound sleep.

She spoke to him; she went to him, took hold ot him he was cold, ho was dead She was well-nigh paralyzed with crlef, and yet could not be lieve whut'she saw for several minutes. Then neighbor were summoned, and tbe newt spread over tho city that the oldest settler lefttafter Mrs. Marguerite Le Claire died, had passed away. A SKfcTCn OF TnE CAREER of tho deceased can not but prove inter esting to all our readers. Autoine David Le Claire was born in I'ortage dca Sioux, Missouri, December 2 1, 1818, ton of Antome and Ptaillia Li Ciaire.

Thus he was half brother to the noted Autoine Le Claire, who was one of the founders ot Davenport, and who also became second father to him, as we shall see. His it her died when be was two weeks old, aud when he bad reached the ago ot two years his father also died. rtmt was In the year 1830, when his halt brother, Antome, was acting as interpreter under Col. Davenport, at Fort Armstiong, anl had just married Marguerite, tbe mghter ot the Sac Coief Acoqua, at Pto-ria. Just after his marritge, Antome Le Cuiru was sent to Arkansas to watch the movements of the Indians there, and his wife accompanied him.

They reached Portaue des tnoux on their tray, and there took charge t.f tho child Dtvi-1, carrying niin with them. Thev did not return -o Fort Armstrong until 1827, and Dvid, then a liy of 9 Yearn, rarao with them. Theu'eforth his whole life was snert on ck in Dven-port and ou the Mississippi River, 011 which he sported an hour 111 hU null.

Milwaukee St. Taul line to Council B'uffj, as published in the Demo crat last Friday, doesn't seem to alarm the last named company much. Supt.

I return af ter au ab-ence since 1672 only, and I find that the old landmarks had been destroy that citizens who were halo and hearty when I knew them here had passed away; and that change Is thi order of things gen erally. Men who were substantial mer chants or manufacturers the year Orant ran for bis second term are not here at all. have either pai'd the debt of nature or removed elsewhere.

But I find that noble blocks ot buildings have taken the place of the old and that great stores are carried on on the sites ot what were considered fine residences; and men who were young in trade' when I left ate now conducting, large businesses. These changes denote progress, and are very encouraging." So remarked Dr. James Wal-cott, of Wheeling, Wc st Virginia, who was here attending the convention of dentists, whom the reporter knew from 1803 to 1872 in Davenport. Tbe doctor then commented on some of the changes. "There is Witliam Thomp son, successor to the firm of Thompson Risley, who was attending to a small gro cery store of his own on the east side ef Brady street below Fourth in those days, has come into the proprietorship of as large and handsome a store in the trade as any city knows.

There is' ho larger or mora attractive grocery house that I know of anywhere, and thero is no need of nny becauee infills the bill exactly." And the doctor was right. Mr. Thompson's great store, 405 Brady street the north half ol Forrest's block, and the largest retail gro cery store in Iowa, at least, is the result of business enterprise of high order of the best oi system and the happiest faculty in satisfying customers with standard grocer ies of purity, tho freshest of morning supplies in the fresh vegetable the boat ot butter and eggs, fancy groceries of tho most acceptable order and tho nicest of fresh fish. No grocer ever ho id customers more firmly, or was the subject of more solid praise from them. His siore is always clean and neat, free from unpleasantness which characterizes most grocery houses ot its great variety ot trade.

Dr. Walcott wa3 fairly wanned up on the subject as he looked through the store and wished aloud. half a dozen times, that "wo had such a grocery in Wheeling." A nAlinuW r.HCAI'E.

of of a rr" xuo nearer the time for noiduiff Ueanepin Canal Convention in Davenport, the more the papers are agitating the sub jeet pro and tart, though, mind you, and it the spirit of tbe press is any indication oi me sentiments ot the delettationa to the convention, there will be earnest a con troversy in that assemblage as ever oc curred in a deliberative body. Listen to tne Lies Moines Register: It is to be hoped that every oue of the icauing cities and towns of Iowa will ap point delerratea to attend the New York and Chicago canal convention to bo held at LMvenport the latter oart ot this month. so that thtj interests of the west through Mississippi and the bare system may be protected and saved from betrayal. The Boards of Tra.it of Intra L-iry, and also we think of Dubuque, have r.ndr V-ka and eloctad deIe lusirucieu mom 10 bibuu urm lor the Mississinot and h-rcre av.rr.rn artel to Oppose an nnderhanried or nlrarior scheme to betray them ia the interest of a or costly canal. We Hope Lies begin to realize what the barge system oilier cities iu ivwi wmca means, and how it is benefiting the west and frightening Chicago and New York.

will also send delegations of their strong- esi uien, and instruct them to resist tbe eastern d.H tr the west. Now hear the Chicago Inter-Ocean The DtS Moins Remater the Hennepin Canal scheme because the canal 77 water route irom uavenriort to th cago. Wuv didn't it oppose the con struction ot the Chicago and Rock Lland miiroa from Des Moines to Cbicago? It the water rome east is better for Iowa tban tbe barge route south, why not build the uennepin UaualS If it isn't better it will not hurt the baro-n busiLcss anv. There may be people in Iowa who would prefer Chicago to New Orleans as a trading iioiut. it me editor of tbe Itegister doeao 1 et bim lure a little barge of his own aud run aown tbe nveras suits his convenience.

In tbe meantime wa merchants and busi ness men generally will trade where thev cau get the best bargains. When Chicago cannot offer such inducements she will take down her sign. 1 here are all sorts ot appeals to preju dice, too. Hear that same Register again Ol the purpose of New York and Chir cago and those whom tbey control In Iowa to make the Davenport Canal Convention serve tbe eastern market, the St. Louis Re publican says: "Millions to checkmate, but not a dollar to help nature, is the pop lar piauorm in the east on tbe question Mississippi river improvement.

Thev are willing to give any amount of money to the Hennepin canal, but make a bitter tight against anything for the lower river." The Republican also remarks: It is not singular that the Mississippi river has come to be known as the great railway regulator. It there were a trunk no railway irorn the west to the east, car rying grain three times as cheap and three times as tast as the existing roads, would not bo an efficient regulator of rates? That is what the river has been doing this season. Up in Dubaque they are anti-Hennepin Canal or rather want the Mississippi end of the canal near Dubuque. The Board of Trade of that city held a meeting Friday evening, and tho Herald says The Secretary read a communication from tho secretary ot the proposed river and canal convention, to the held in Dav- port on tbe Sjtii inviting tne iioard ot Trade to send a delegation, lho call for the convention was also read. The Secretary also read a communica tion from the La Crosse Board of Trade, complaining that that body nor the city bad ten invited to send a delegation, ine La Cxoase circular urged that the upper river towns should use their influence towards the improvement ot the Mississ tppi river as the first consideration of the convention.

This matter engendered considerable discussion smong the membeis, the result of which indicated that the Dubuque ard of Trade was unanimously ia favor of the improvement of the river, as the first object of the convention, and tbe building ol the Uennepin canal, as tne secondary consideration, but they were strenuously in favor ot a canal starting from Albany, a point above the Rock Island Rapids, to the Illinois river and thence to Chicago, iiiMtead of tbe proposed route from Henne pin, tome thirty or forty miles below Reck Islund. Tuo project was may ana oeup. Mutely discussed, alter which a etion was carried autbonZing tne president to ap point a delegation of five to represent the lionrd at tbe convention in JJavecport on the 25th instant. It was also proposed that Mr. Rider confer with Mayor Lanehan in relation to tbe appointment ot the com mittee, as it was understood that the city would also send a delegation to the convention.

Here is another comnlaint, you see, be cause an important Mississippi river city hs -en sligbted by the commission who issued invitations and here, too, is exhibited remarkable ignorance concerning the locality of the western termination of the caual. OS WITH THE BiltWE HT9TGU Ex-Congressman James Wilson, editor the Traer Clipper, who is a practical farmer and a leader and champion of the granger interest In Iowa, Bays Nothing has occurred, in the way ol leg islation, withiL the century, that is destined to so benefit the Northwest, as the building of the jetties at the mouth of the Mississippi, the intuition of the farmer led him to demand it, end the Forty-third congress, deeply tirged with granger lean ings, conceded it at a cost ot ten millions dollars. We had to wait till capital and enterprise saw the opev'ng for invest ment, as the prairies wared tor tbe wnne settler. Capital came wutn tne western farmer turned the ttde or gold to America, and it increase! as the farmer produces and sells. No sentimental love, western in dustries are using tho volume ot traoe from Chicago to St.

Louis and New Orleans. The route is cheaper to so great an extent that the increased price to the westsrn farmer for his produce will double his profits or give him profit where he had none before. len cenis a nusuei less by river Why? Many millions of gold bv the farmers that do not give any profit; this ten cents will b3 aU prout; the route i uoajei fmm annnortation stand-point; and once at tide water the cost is nothing for few extra miles.

By alternately touching and separating the wires they are able to ring any box number they chooss. Fortunately they were so far tip the bluff as to reach only the wires leading to the church, el so general alarms would have been sounded and tho fire de partment repeatedly called out.

Weil, oue of these turue dove--cauie to my wiuduw aud told wua I uow ull you. "I am 10 he said. VuU sometimes ttibit tbat tbesoug wliieli we Slug is a sad one. You call it a plain tive cooiug, but it you had only thougbtof all the trouble we nave bad ton would wonder bow we ever sing at all." "In tbe very olden timee.wbeuever a baby boy came iu av poor mau's bouse, a few day after he was bom tba motber of the boy used to take two turtle doves to the temple aud have them killed. Tuis sometime seemed very haid, but as these lntle toy' mothers always took the doves alter their motber dove bad leftotf caring for them, you can see tbat it was not so bad A9 if tbe mother dove's heart bad been broken when the little ones were killed, and, besides that, it was a comfort to feel thai it was just as pleasing to tbe Great Lord ia heaven to have too little doves given to Him as to have the lamb killed which the rich man's wife bronght to the temple; and when, eighteen hundred and eighty year ago, two white pigeons were brought to the temple by Mary, the motber of Jesus, it seemed to all doves tbat we would never complain again, seeing that two ot our number bad been honored by being the baptismal gilt of God'sonly son.

'Not long after that, howevee.the custom ceased, and the religion which Jesus gave to tbe world naa no uuen tbing as tbe killing ot birds. He said, indeed, one day tbat not a sparrow fell to the ground with out Ood's noticing it, and we know that God cares more for turtle doves than the r-parrows, else why should he have honored us as be did in tbe templet Hut somehow do not understand how, after Jeans died on that awful dav, wben tbe sun was daik-ened, aud all the hjrdstuought there would be no more sun, it has not been necessary tor any birds to be killed. 'He took the place ot us all. "But this was no trouble at all in compar ison with the trouble we had had all our lives. It was an honor to die in the tem ple, but it is no houor to die when kilted by tbe hands ot wicked boys.

I do not kuow bOfV long It is, but I think it has been always, that boys seemed to love to break ui our neets and kid us lust lor fport. am glad to know that every year there are fewer sucn bad men aud cruel Bat the World seem to be full of thoughtless boys. Tbe other day my cousiu, a mother dove with a nest full of little oues, ss killed by a sling shot, aud all her little. babv doves died troiu buuger betore we mud it oat; and yevterda when the boy So iiied tbe shot waa poiuted out, I am sure he did not look cruel or menu, bur it was none the less a hard thiug tor the lit tle birds to lo8e their mother, and I am ure the little Ooy would think so, too, if ha should tell hi mother what ue had done when be tells her, vriythiug upou baying his piatr at uiht.

These ooys and giris do not seem te mean us harm tbey say aay they will only take Oue egg out ot the nest, but tuero are to many ot them wno take tbe one egg apiece that atter all tbeir grave-yarus are tult there are no liye little birds left tor as. Aud we do love our little bir lie to much. I do not know what we are going to do. (t is so niuca worse than when only bad boys robbed our nests, lor tben their fath- 'ers and mothers would punish them tor it.

and some of them would become afraid to do it, but now tbe fathers and mothers seem pleased when their boys and girls get ail tne eggs tney can. 1 sometimes thick that God will send a Judgement upon your people for -being so cruel to us, and will let tbe worms and catipillars eat up all your food, but I hope not, for I am not resentful and I have concluded that the best tbing lor me to do was to come and tell you aua get you to ask all the nice boys and girl to stop and think over what they have been doing, and ask them whether the fun that thev get and the knowledge that they acquire is enough to pay for the hardness of heart which tbey must get, and tbe sad homes that they make among all the birdaf" And the voice of the turtle dove ceased until I had finished writing all he said to me, and then he sang a note more joylul than I have heard him sing for many a day as he thought tbat perhaps my sermon would make the boys and girls more thoughtful ot tbe birds.
