The Flood I'm the Northwestern
Rivers.

La CROSSE, WIN, March 2.-There
is prospect now Of an early opening Of
navigation on the Northwestern rivers.
The rain storms Of the past week have
caused severe floods in many portions
Of Wisconsin and Minnesota, interrupt
ing travel and transportation, BY water
overfiowing railroad tracks and tearing
out culverts, small bridges, pile works
and light gradings. On the upper Mis-
sissippi and tributaries especially, have
these inconvenience been felt. Between
the tunnel and La Crosse, on the Mil
~aukee and ST Paul, trains were
suspended for couple Of days. The
Winona and La Crosse Railway was
in some places four feet under water.
The Southern Minnesota river west of
this place rose at the rate of foot per
hour throughout the day, and trains
have been suspended several days.
The repairs are all made, and every
thing is again in order for resumption
Of transportation.

The German Hussars galloped down
every avenue leading to the Champs
Elysees, to search the streets branching
therefrom. Not the slightest attempt
at disturbance occurred. The conduct
Of the people was admirable. About
1000 infantry and cavalry only ad-

drum was beat and trumpet sounded
A splendid body Of men, whose march,

opposite the Palais' d'Industrie, which

hussars. A few Uhlans ride down the
Place de la Concorde, where they view
with derision the faces Of the statues
covered with Grape. The Germans are
astonlshed at the mourniul aspect Of the
city and the desertion Of the streets.
The only incident observed was the
following: A Frenchman, respectfully
dressed, went up to Prussian sentinel
and spoke to the soldier, who replied
civilly, when workman near beat and
kicked the former severely, and uttered
cries of assassin" The German officers
only laughed:
At precisely thirteen minutes past

An OLD OFFENDER.
A Leaf from the Perrona1 Experience
Of Mr.. John O'Brien alias Williams
alias Sweeney. ct

Several days ago we had occasion TO no
tice the arrest and imprisonment Of rough
customer who told the police that his name
was John Sweeney. His trial, his com.
initial to the calabooso for period of fifty
days, and his efforts 10 smash things the
jailer included, after he was lodged in
prison, have already been detailed in these
columns. Ho was regarded by the TALLER

very ugly customer and dangerous man.
McHale has q peculiar maintaining pro-
cess, and he applied it to Sweeney. II
succeeded, and in few days the ran.ing
fellow had simmered down to n moderate

an Evansville paper offering fifty dollars
reward for the apprehension Of one John

duly ironcd and equipped for trip to tho
Jacksonville penitentiary, slipped of his

blood and fragments of scarf-skin left on
the shackles plainly indicated that
Mr.. q Brien alias Williams had
chafed his wrists and hands in relieving
himself Of his 'jcwelryi' and this fact was
mentioned in the advertisement. Arnold
