BOSTON, May Eli T. M.
In the Supreme Court to-day motion was
made that the suits brought against Knight and
Hughes by the Abolitionsts, at the time they were
here to reclaim VIM. and Ellen Crafts, be dis
missed unless responsible endorser was given
for the costs. After hearing arguments against
the motion from Dana, Kildreth and Sewall, Chief
Justice Shaw decided thata responsible endorser
must be procured, or the cases would be dis
missed So they are likely to fall to the ground.
The suit against District Attorney Lunt for
the arrest of Barton, negro barber at Saem who
was taken by mistake for one of the rescuers of
the fugitive Shadrach, was non-suited, Barto n
not appearing. The damages had been laid at
$4,000

The Great Flood ON the Mississippi.

The St. Louis papers come to US with extended de-
tails of the ravages Of the great flood the Msss-
sippi some accounts of which we have already Civ
en- in another paragraph;
The st. Louis Times of Monday the 9th, states
that the water was then 33 feet inches above low
water mark, and still rising, being within feet
inches of the mark of the great Hood OF 1914: ne
bottom opposite North st. Louis was also nooueu'
and nearly all the families have taken refuge In the
9th ward 1t was estimated that, from one Thousand
to twelve hundred persons-men, women ana chill
dren have been landed from the opposite shore des-
titute of everything needful for the preservation Vi
health and were in the occupation OF the Sturgeon
market The depth of water on the Levee store M
at ST. Louis was from "a to % inches In all the
cross streets running to the levee, the water has
passed from ten to thirty feet beyond the levee front
of buildings In the lower part OF the town. the wa
ter had backed up for several squares rendering
some of the streets impossible Arsenal Island and
Duncans Island were entirely inundated as was al.
so Bloody Island, except the extreme .nothern and
southern points.
In Illinoistown. the destruction was immense
Many of the buildings had been undermined and
swept away. The current had washed channel a.,
round the eastern end of the Bloody Island dyke and
heavy body of water was passing through the town
into Cahoka creek.
At the American Bottom, few high points were
left between the main river and the bluffs AT Papp
town there little ground lett uncovered oy wa
ter but for miles around the country presents the
appearance of a great lake. Thousands of farms
bordering on the upper streams reported by
steamboat captains as entirely under water, and
their improvements and stock swept aWay-an a
mount Of loss to repair which will require the labor
ofyears.
The Hannibal (Mo) Union says: Considerable
damage will be done in this city though nothing to
compare with less elevated places above and below
u.s. From many quarters we hear of the most dis
tressing scenes accompanied by great loss of proper
ty. In house at FULLY, it is reported that there
are seven families hudded together into the upper
stories At Alexandria the water is said to be up to
the second stories. Marion city of course, is COM
where visible.

From the Knickerbocker
The Rosary.

AhC 1N0SuTys
They sat together in the wood,
The maiden and the boy,
And through the shade the sunlight fell,
Like sorrow crossed with joy;
So in their hearts Loves virgin ore
Was mixed with Grief's alloy.
"And take" she said, sethis cross and chain,
And wear it ON thy breast;
I've counted off each bead and link,
To lull me to my rests
And many time this little cross
Hath to my lips been pressed.
&c Thou goest from mel no more
Shall watch about thy way;
I shall not see thy form at eve,
Or hear thy voice by day;
All that my weakness leaves to me
Is, for thy sake to pray.
&c If Evil lure thee from the Right, .-.
If Conscience plead in vain,
Oh like an iron link to Truth,
HEAVEN make this fragile chain
And may its cross burn in thy heart,
Till thou art strong again.
g If bluer, softer eyes than mine
Seem worlds of love to thee, ~
If other lips and other tones
q -. Crowd out my memory,
Still be this chain about thy soul,
To draw thee back to me.
And so they parted: she to wear,
Above, an angels crown,
And he, to feel on land or sea,
In forest, in town,
A cross and chain upon his heart,
From the far heaven let down.

Tic Bachelor,

A bachelor sat by bis blazing CRATE
And he fell into a snooze
And he dreamed that Ger his wrinkled pate
Had been thrown the nuptial moose,
And a rosy boy came to his side
And bounded on his knee,
And back from his beaming face he shook
Fair curls in childish glee.
Then clear rang out his merry voice rss'
He shouted loud ss Papa
don't love anybody else
But you and dear mamma,
. the fathers heart o'erran with joy,
So long by love unlit,
And from its unseen depth poured out
Affection infinite.
sd
Outstretched arms of strength unshorn,
He Rugged the old house cat
Which as twas wont when master slept,
Had leaped upon his lap.
