Floods mt the East.

CONCORD, N. H., April 1.-THE Merri-
mack River is rising from four to five
inches an hour at this place, and an ex-
tensive freshet is imminent. Reports
ON above states that the effects of the
late rain are very disastrous to property.
The covered railroad bridge, about 100
feet in length, on the Contoocook River
at West Hanniker, was swept away last
night. The Federal bridge across the
Merrimack at East Concord, 42O feet
long, and the Montreal Railroad bridge
beside, the same length, were swept
away by the freshet, this afternoon.
The other two bridges will probably be
saved, as the water is falling. Heavy
masses of ice are passing out. A fridge
between Hooksett and Surcook is said
to be so badly damaged as to render
railroad travel between the places i'm

A Double Fratricide,

The Ooen County (Ky.) Ne,os gives the
following details of horrible affair:
" Oh last Saturday, two rothers named
Horton, living on Northern Savcrn
Creek, in this county, got into an after
cation, wherein the elder cut and stab
bed the younger fearfully, after which
he cut his own throat. The younger
brother had engaged to work for some
one of the neighbors, but did not go.
When the elder came in he asked the
reason he had not gone, whereupon the
younger said he was unwell. Here the
elder told him he was too lazy and
would not work. One word brought on
another, till at last the younger threw a
chair at his brother, breaking it all to
pieces. The elder then expostulated
with him for breaking the chair, where
upon the younger drew his knife and
made an assault upon the other, when
he also drew his knife and the bloody
work began. The elder cut and stab
bed his younger brother fearfully, then
went to the woods short distance oft
and cut his own throat, after which he
managed to grope his way back to the
house, and AS he entered the door fell,
through weakness, to the floor by the
side of the other, where they were
shortly after found, the story of both
coiroborating the above. At last ac-
counts both were still alive, but no
hope entertained for their recovery.

Chicago Rebate Bill.

The regulations of the Secretary of
the Treasury relative to the Chicago
Rebate bill, lately forwarded to all Uni
ted States Customs Collectors, do not
specify in detail the building materials
upon which drawbacks are permitted.
That will be made the subject of future
regulations. 1t is expected that Mr..
Boutwell, will interpret the words eek
cept lumber" literally. They may be
construed to mean only rough lumber,
in which event sash, doors, and other
kinds of manufactured lumber will be
allowed drawback. AS in the case of
Portland, it is expected that pig iron,
manufactured into prepared building
iron and machinery used in building,
will be allowed the drawback.

A Citizen King.

According to all accounts, King Am
adeus of Spain is the least ostenta-
tions of the monarchs of Europe, with
the exception of the King of Sweden.
Like him he takes pride in being a citi
zen king. Several of his subjects main
tain more costly establishments and
support more elegant equipage. From
the sum voted for the support Of the
royal household he defrays the expense
OF his journeys, pays the pension of the
dethroned Queen, repairs the national
palaces and assists in carrying on seve.
raj public works. The remainder he
gives to the poor of Madrid. He shows
no greed FOR money like Queen Victoria,
nor is he laying up a fortune for a
rainy day as the last French Emperor
did. He discards all strong drink,
wine, coffee and tea, and is perhaps the
first king who limited his drinks to cold
water. He uses 10 tobacco and does
not indulge in gaming. He rides out
with two horses with only single at.
tendant. His manners are those Of a
quiet gentleman and he shows little re-
gard to rank and titles. He is withal
a hard working man, going every day
into the offices of the principal depart
ments of the government, making him
self familiar with how the business is
conducted and conversing freely with
the clerks and officers

A LITTLE 10y in Palmyra, N. Y,
playing with ball of worsted thread
attached to his mothers crochetwork,
accidentally swallowed it, and had to
be held by several able-bodiei Irish
women while every yard of it was un-
wound in his blessed little stomach by
reeling the end projecting from his
mouth. So, at least, local chronicle
recites; and it the story be true the
poor child's suffering must have been

The People are the true leaders,
Those who gain credit for directing
public sentiment are usually those
who follow that sentiment and are
able to give their reasons for doing it.
The people, considered as q unit,
solve problem of public interest at a
clean jump. The statesman, tagging
in the rear, picks up the process by
which the conclusion was reached and
explains it to those whose minds are
already made up. He gets a reputa-
ton for foresight, while oil that he
possesses is afterthonght.

seeing the large bouquets of flowers

He took the hint, spoke of the fash

CONVERTED DEMOCRAT

A CONVERTED DEMoC"A1'
A. old Democrat in Massachu- !
setts related his experience at q Pa ~,
lie meeting last week, and tolo u'a
friends how he had been converted e,l:ea
=, Greeleyism. 1t was something n. '
after this fashion He had lived N
while Greeley and two "e oti6eSr Hen mah
were the only abolitionists in the
place, these three men stood up
straight and voted their little ticket
all the time. Then Greeley estab-
lished the Tribune, and declared
against slavery when the whole coun-
try was against it. This proved that
he was an honest and sincere man.
Now Mr.. Greeley says he is in favor
Of letting the people govern the
country, he is against corruption, he
is opposed to military interference,
and he is honest in what he says
His former conduct proves his pres
ent sincerity, and that he never be-
trayed a trust, is evidence that he
can be trusted now. No man can
buy him with a bull pup or house
and lot. He will let the people de-
eide for themselves what they want,
as he says about the tariff. This is
Just the kind of man we need at
this time for President. The people
have been left out in the cold for
twelve years, and they desire to come
into possession of their own again.
Therefore the old Democrat had
been converted to love his old enc
my. The man who had been consis-
tent and honorable as an opponent
would be just and true as q friend.
And if the negroes do not vote for
him they will prove what has been
4 so often said of them, that they can
not take care of themselves. The
man who has stood by them for
years is better friend to them than
the man who never opened his mouth
in their favor until he had favor to
ask at their hands. But this is Their
business. The United States can
prosper if they will do wrong. We
have had clans and cliques before
and we always beat them when they
went astray. The American people
: intend to elect O President without
any reference to the colored vote
and if the negroes make mistake
in their ballots next fall it will be al
their own expense. And the old
, Democrats conversion to Liberia
Republicanism was hailed witt
shouts by an entire congregation O
men that had experienced the same
baptism of heart.
