THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD.

The flood Of the Mississippi, says the
Cincinnati Chronicle, is one of the most re-
markahIe phenomena which has occurred
for some years. The Mississippi, like the
Nile, is subject to its regular annual mum
datons, which occur about the first of June,
and are occasioned by the immense mass of
waters melted from the SHOWS on the eastern
decliyty of the Rocky Mountains, which,
combined with the spring rains, roll down
the Missouri, and the Upper Mississippi,
both ultimately flowing from the vast, snow
covered chain of North American noun
tains. In the cause and the consequence
of this annual food, there is remarkable
similarity between the Nile and the Missis-
sippi The former flows from the African
mountains Of the Moon the latter from the
great range which extends from the Arctic
to the Southern Ocean. Both pour down
inexhaustible supplies Of alluyium, CONSTITUTE
ing the agricultural wealth Of their valleys.
Both are subject to annual inundations =
The Mississippi, however, is much the lare-
est and embraces other large valleys aud
rivers, distinct from its main channel. It's
climate is also much more variable than
that of the region of the Nile. The result
ofthis is, that its foods are less uniform, as
TO height and Duration, although they occur
with great uniformity al the same season Of
the year.
The great food of the Mississippi which
has Just occurred, is result of this greater
varabIeness of climate and tributaries, than
that which occurs Oh the Nile. Like the
flood Of the Ohio, in 1892, it seems to have
been decidedly the highest Of which there
was any recoections, since the frs, settle
ment of the Country. Yet the reader Will
be surprised TO know that the food of the
Mississippi was tweniy-lour feet less If
height above low water mark than that o
the Ohio, of 1882, at Cincinnati, Th,
Mississippi was 40 feet above low water,
feet inches above the curb stone Of tht
| Market in St Louis. In Cincinnati tht
height Of the water above low water mari
was about 60 feet So low, however, ar,
the bottoms of the Mississippi and Missouri
that this overflow is almost incredible, ant
the damage immense.
One of the scenes which this tremendou
flood of water has produced is thus deplcte'
in the ST. Louis Republican = "a gentle
man yesterday gave us vivid description O
the effects of the food in the Sand Hi
Prairie, lying in Ray county, between Cam
den and Lexington. On one Of the highes
of the hills which are scattered over thi
prairie, which he went TO last Sunday in

A DAMPER.

A correspondent of the New Haven Cou-
rier, writing from Sachem's Head, where he
has been rusticating, gives the following
amusing account of an adventure which oc-
Cured within his hearing while there: q.
Upon my arriving at this place, noticed
pretty girl, who, from her youthful appear
ance and manners supposed TO be a cand
date for mathmony. She was accompanied
by young broher rather older than herself.
In the course OF the afternoon a handsome
and well-dressed nan Of about thirty, alight-
ed from a carriage and entered The house
Between the two strangers an instant and
friendly recognition took place, mutual in
qulrles were made ami ansv cred concerning
each others health, family, &c. left the
long separated lovers together, for such at
once surmised them 10 be- and slrolled along
the shore to my favorite seat had not re-
manned there many minutes when discov-
cred the pair approaching, and concealed by
a projecting fragment Of rock, surveyed
them unobscrved They advanced directly
to the spot where was and stood so near
that their conversation was AUDIBLE.

"that you have succeeded so we'll in bust

"Oh I" replied his fair companion, "that

neighborhood so lively"
IL hope it will prove so to you, Hetty, for
| have INDUCED the hope" responded the
gentleman, with warmth that brought the
blnshes to the cheeks of his beautiful colo
quist, and made her retreat step or two
from him, Gas we have been associates from
childhood, and our families always on terms
Of intimacy, that we should be mutually
conducive to each Others happiness"
