OVERFLOW OF THE GARONNE.—Recent heavy rains,
combined with the melting of the snow in the mountains,
have caused the Garonne to overflow its banks at Preig-
nac, Barsac, Podensac, and some other communes ; but
instead of doing damage, the inundations of the Garonne
are advantageous, as, like those of the Nile, they leave
behind them a quantity of slime which possesses eminent
fertilising qualities. The hay of Preignac, Barsac, and
Podensac in particular, is noted as specially excellent on
that account. At Bordeaux there have of late been such
high tides that the quays have been under water, and the
employes of the octroi and customs have been obliged to
leave their offices.

UNCLE Ton's CABIN.—The celebrated Uncle Tom is
continuing his course through the world. It is known
in Russia by a French translation, most negligently done,
the writer, who is however a man of talent, appearing
only anxious to be first in the field. The work has great
success in Russia, and the police do not interfere with it.
It so happens that in Russia at present enfranchisement
is quite the order of the day, and no one can better pay
court in high quarters than by appearing a good uncle,
for, strange enough, the term uncle, brought into fashion
by the Ainricans, is also perfectly Russian, and em-
ployed in the same sense of familiarity and affection.
Although' no formal authorisation has been given to ad-
mit the work, yet it is not interdicted. At first, when
only a few copies had arrived, they were passed about
with the utmost regularity from one part of the city to
the other, the station for each reader being fixed at two
hours, and not a moment longer. Hence the aristocracy
of Moscow actually read the work bit by bit, as they
could best manage to obtain it. At present, thousands
of copies are in circulation both here and at St. Peters-
burg. A-translation into Russian by an eminent writer
is about to appear by the authorisation of the Grvern-
MeAt."
