H A large portion Of the
city of New Orleans is now under
water. The crevasse in the Mis-
sissippi has overaowed Lake Pom
chartrain, until between five and
six square miles of the city are
submerged. One story houses are
afoat, aud persons living in two
story houses ars driven up stairs.
The distress is great, destruction
to property heavy, and water still
rising at last accounts.

Aids to Radicalism.

There are two men to whom
the Radical party is especially in
debted. One is that exceedingly
vain man, Jefferson Davis. Hav-
ing held his tongue as long as he
was in any danger of bodily iuiu-
ry, he came out, at Selma, Ala,
the last of March, and again at
Atlanta on the 9th ult., in
speeches, and after declaring to his
hearers that "My simplest words
may work you HARM" pro-
claimed his willingness to fight
over again the battles that he lost
in the rebellion. These speeches
are godsend to the Radicals, and
they ought to find some means Of
rewarding Davis for the service
he has rendered them. The Hunts
vile Advocate, a Radical paper,
says these speeches "will greatly
strengthen the Republican party
North"
Another man to whom the Rad
ical party is indebted is Robert
TOombs. of Georgia. He recently
delivered lecture at Augusta, on
"Magna Charta," in which he said
that mot until the live thunder
was torn from its throne, ETC.,
would he accept the situation"
Toombs is a good-natured fellow,
and does not mean any great harm
TO anybody; but his tongue is
powerful and always swift. lie
wants to fight over the last bat
ties of reconstruction; and SO drags
them out when opportunity offers,
and holds them up as a raw head
and bloody bones for timid people
to be frightened at.
For some time past the Radical
party has lived and fourished on
the stupidity and egotism of men
calling themselves Democrats, and
the prospect seems fair for Its liv-
ing by this means for some time to
come, unless these irresponsible
spouters can be induced to keep
silent. Mr.. Davis, il is true. claims
to speak only for himself-and SO
he does. He has few, if any, fol-
lowers, and his utterances have but
a circumscribed influence here in
the South. But unfortunately, it
is not thus viewed at the North.
His words are caught and spread
before the public, often in a mutt
lated and distorted shape, and with
such comments as are best calcu.
lated to ''fire the Northern heart"
Knowing as he says he does, that
his simplest words may work
harm" to the South, his duty is to
keep silent.

make. Did YOU ever see hair brush with
the back off, showing little zigzags ot tine
wire all over it?
Well, the way it is made is this: Holes
large enough for the punches of brlstles,
are bored all over the brush back, part sody
throuqh and much smaller holes are bored
clear through. The workman takes tutt
of bristles, doubles it over piece of fine
wire, puts the wire throug h the little hole,
and draws the bristlcs up as far as the big
hole goes That holds it tight and it goes
to the next hole, using the same wire.
When they are all in, the bristles are cut
off square, and fancy back glued on to
hide the wire. So you can't see what holds
the bristlcs 80 tightly.
Tooth brushes are made the same way,
only the little holes for the wire come out
on the side, and when it is done they are
corkcd up with tiny ivory plugs. You
would not notice them unless you
looked for them Some brushes have az
many as thousand holes to fill.
But notwithstanding the great quanti-
| ties Of bristles told you are used, they use
also for brushes hair from the backs of our
! fur.cOated friends; horse hair and goat hair
for hat brushes fibres of whalebone for
very hard brushes broom corn and Cocoa
nut fibre and even spun glass, to use in
acids which will eat up ordinary brushes.
How many kinds of brushes do you sup
pose they make in brush factory?
III tell you few.
There are paint brushes, dust brushes,
artists brushes, distemper- brushes Il hope
somebody knows what they're for), shoe
brushes, tooth brushes, nail-brushes, ban
lister brushes, scrubbing- brushes, shaving
brushes, hair brushes, flesh brushes, bot
tie brushes, hat tbrushes, velvetbrushes,
window brushes, crumb- b-brushes, carpet
brushes-the brooms belong to the brush
family-hcarth- -brooms, store -brooms, ta-
bedrooms I don't suppose that's

II is related of prominent merchant
that few days since he was visiting a
friend who had just received letter and
miniature from noted hallct dancer.
After looking at them, he put them in his
pocket in careless sort of way, not think
ing what he was doing. The next morn
ing, by some mischance, his wife came
across them in his pocket. Opening the
letter, she read eagerly the ambrosial
scented missive, beginning with Ny dear
George, and ending with, Your darling
Kittic." It 50 happened that the meri
chants first or Christian name WAS George,
and, as might be imagined, little domes-
tic tempest rapidly eliminated in a hurri-
cane Shaking the merchant rudcly until
he aWokc, he found his wife standing over
him, the letter and miniature in her hand,
and demand for an explanation trembling
on her lips. He took in the situation at
Il glance, and knew that only something
desperate would save him. Smiling up
into her face with sort Of defiant look,
he said: Somebody put the letter and
picture into my pocket; never knew it
was there until this moment. What
letter and pictureY" "Why, that you
hold in YOUR hand "Who said it was in
your pSckct?" Didn't you?" "No. "

A POtatO-Bug Parasite.

has found all enemy to the potato-b bug.
lie says: II hesitated to speak until 1
caught the fellow three different times
with his lance into a young potato bug.
The first two times the p. Is. was dead be-
fore saw him, but the last time saw the
whole affair. The Doctor advanced. and
made III attack on the young p s., by run
ming his bill or lancc into p. B., when p.
b. rolled himself up into round ball,
making quick movements with his legs.
The Doctor kept backing up and down
the vine, as long as there was any move
ment. When the movement ceased on the
part of p. B., Doctor stood still and drank
his fill l took Mr.. Doctor around among
my friends to see if they could tell me
what kind Of hug he was. Some thought
it the squash bug; all the boys who saw
him said it was the pumpkin bug. lwent
to my squash vine and found a bue re-
sembling him very much, with this differ
ence: MIR. Squash Bug was much larger,
and very dark both on breast and back,
while my Doctor is of light drab color
on the back, and still lighter with golden
tlnge on the breast"
