The FLOOD A serious disaster for the
city occurred last Saturday in the loss of
Wisconsin Street, Sth and 7th Street Lridg
es. Friday night the water in the river
was very high, but on the following morn>
ing. as it had fallen several inches, no ser
lous fears We're entertained by any one for
the safety of the bridges. About | | o'clock
on Saturday morning. the ice IN the river
above, having become loose, came down in
a mighty rushing mass tearing out about
100 feet of Sth street bridge and about the
same amount from the one across the river
at the foot of 9Th street and taking two or
three vessels that lay above the latter,
through the gap. The tug Tiger and the
scow that accompanies the drelge were
carried by the force of the current, out into
the lake, ard fears were entertained for
some time for their safety. Capt. Muzzy
however soon got Ut sufficient steam and
after about two hours succeeded in getting
back through the ice with his tug and the
scow in tow In the meantime the accumu
ation Of ice had carried away Wisconsin
street bridge, and thus the city is left with
on, any bridge for the present within our
limits. The ice had some days before, car
ried away the bridge across the river at
Ashby' farm, and now, with the exception
of the Railroad bridge, there are no bridg-
es across the river from its mouth to the
Falls. The morning train from Fond du
Lac had arrived but short time previous
to the disaster The city now maintains
ferr5 al he foot of StlI street. and will con
tinue to do so until the bridge is repaired
sufficiently for the crossing Of teams.

THE WORD The
Chicago Tribune is exercised
about the use of the word female.
It says we have heretofore resort
ed to various inelegant lodges, as
by styling a female physician
Miss DR.. Walker or Mrs. DR..
Walker. which may mean no doc
tor at all, but DIR. Walkers wife.
The phrase woman doctor means
one who doctors women. The
true term is, of course, doctress.
We only regret that the number
of cases is SO large in which the
demand cannot be so easily sup
piled. Thus, though we may style
u female journalist - Of which
there are now becoming many
an editress, and might, without
violence, call Anna Dickinson an
oratress, yet we break down in
the effort to style the Rev. Olym-
pia Brown a ministries s, or Coun-
sellor Myra Bradwell. a lawyeress.
We are still obliged to say female
merchant, female clerk, female
teacher. etc. In short, the Eng
fish language evinces a most
Grabbed unadaptedness to the ex-
igencies of the woman's rights

That must have been strange

She had embraced Christianity,
and when the chapel for divine
service was ready, the disgraced
deity, which consisted Of two
pieces of silk with small splin-
ter Of wood in the middle, was
taken from his temple and thrust
into the fire. The crowd declared
that being a god he would not
burn-yet, somehow, chez was
very soon consumed; and then,
with no little pathos, "the people,
seeing that now they had no gods
to worship, sent to the Queen to
ask what they were to worship
for the future.' The foundation
of their faith had indeed been
greatly shaken. The Queen.is to
send teachers of Christianity
among them, and Madagascar,
