fast table, to startle him with the words:
"The reservoirs going"
1t was but the night before that Cheney
had been talking with him about the reser-
vOir, and both had agreed that everything
looked all right for the summer. Spellman
thought the man little scared, and to his
startling announcement replied, mo, 1t
can't be possible"
But Cheney quickly told him about the
giving away of the earth, and the streams
Of water rushing through, and soon con-
vinced him that the danger was most lmml-
nent. The first duty was to warn the peo-
pie further down the stream. Cneneys
horse was exhausted, and Spellman 9i-
rected him to go to the livery staple,
where, again, precious moments were l0st
in convincing the incredulous people. FL
nally, horse was made ready, and fresh
man got off to netify the dwellers further
down the stream.
Collins Graves, a milkman at the livery
stable in Williamsburg, where Gate-keeper
Cheney was trying to get some one to
spread the news, exclaimed: "lf the dam Is
breaking the people must know it" and
lashirg his horse into a run no dashed s
away toward Haven Mill, shouting: 1.-The
reservoir is right here, run, it's all you can
do"
Meanwhile Cheney had rung the bell OF
the Congregational Church to further warn
the village folk. On went the horse and
the driver. spreading the alarm, Graves
shouting all the way: He made direct for
the manufacturing establishments. Said
he, the people in the streets and houses
could hear, but the roar of the factories
would drown any warning for the opera
tives.
At Skinnerville the messenger was live
minutes ahead of the coming current, but
at Haydenville he had but two minutes in
which to spread the alarm.
This famous ride of Collins Graves, which
saved many hundred lives, ended at the
hotel in Haydenyille. The horse and rider
were both exhausted, and here another
herald took up the tidings.
Graves could heart the thunder of the COM
ing flood, but, not fully appreciating its e1-
tent, he turned to 60 back to Williamsburg:
At the dugway the disaster, which he had
predicted, burst upon his sight, and he had
Just time to tusn off into a bank when 1t
crashed past him. Indeed, he was not
twenty seconds too soon, and, as it was, he
had almost despaired OF reaching place Of
safety, and had thought of abandoning his
tired steed to its fate.

Duty on ErHifa and Plants.

Secretary Richardson has recently in-
structed collectors of customs that the only
plants that can be admitted free of duty
under the fifth section of the act of June 6.
1872, are those having fruitbearing quail
ties, and which are tropical and sem i-tropi-
cal, and are intended for propaga ton or
cultivation; and that the duty upon fruits
is reimposed at the rates provided for by
laws existing before that time. The duty
upon fruits, however, does not take effect
until the first of July next, while the clause
as to plants takes effect from and after the
date Of it's approval to wit, May 9, 1874.

FOREIGN,
The Ministerial Crisis.

PARIS, May l9.-The prolongation Of the
ministerial crisis causes great excitement
at Versailles. Efforts to form a ministry
from the right and left centres continue,
but up to this hour have met with no re-
suit. The right and right centre seek to
exclude Bonapartists from the government.
Some dispatches fran Versailles assert
the Cabinet will be completed tomorrow
from the right centre and moderate right,
but several evening journals report that
Goulard despairs of success.
NJ. Gonlard has not given up hope of
forming ministry. He is continuing nego-
tiatiOns today.
During the day President MacMahon
gave audiences to MN. Goulard, Buffet and
Ihe Due de Casas.
The Prospective Duel.
1t is the Count de MOntebello and not
the Duke de Montmorency, who has sent
the challenge to Prince Metternich. The
cause of the challenge was the refusal Of
Prince Metternich to return ealutatiOn at
the ball Of the Count de Montebello.
Goulard's Embarrassments.
The moderates object to an impersonal
septennale. because it would be equivalent
to recognition of the republic. The ex-
treme right are determined to oppose Gou.
lard or any other chief of ministry whose
platform embraces the adoption of consti-
tutional bills.
M. Goulard, finding no sure support in
the left centre or right will, therefore, be
compelled to rely mainly upon the min ority
in the Assembly. 1t is expected the minis
try will be completed tonight with Gou-
Lard, De Casas and Bodet at the head of
the principal departments.

The Nomination of John Cockrem Excites
Opposition.
The nomination of Cockrem for the col
lectorship of internal revenue is regarded
as snap Judgment by the friends of B. F.
Joubert, who was his opponent They com
plain that no time was allowed to present
his claims to the President, and are deter
mined to fight against Cockrem's contirma-
ton. The resignation of the Office by
Colonel StOckdale was received by the
President only yesterday forenoon, some
two or three hours before the nomination
was sent in to the Senate.
Mr.. COckrem's indorsers are Senator
West, Commissioner Douglass, Collector
Casey and Surveyor Parker. Mr.. Joubert's
indorsers are Representatives Sheldon and
Sypher. Marshal Packard, Ex-Governors
Hebert and Wells. and OthOr citizens O.
Louisiana now in Washington.
The President, it is rumored, has under
consideration the withdrawal Of C0ckrem't
name. 1t is also stated that the nomination
dissatisties the people of Louisiana and
that numerous dispatches have been re
ceived here protesting against it. THE
above is a rather loose statement, but doubt
less gives fair statement of the situation.

Return Of the Lieutenant Governor.


Lieutenant Governor Antoine arrived in
the city last Saturday from Shreveport.
We understand his visit to his friends in
that section of our State proved very
pleasant one. He was honored with pub
lie meeting, largely attended, by citizens
of all parties, and afforded an opportunity
of addressing them from the rostrum. In
the course of his speech he reminded his
constituents of the difficulties that had to
be encountered when the colored man first
attempted to vote, and congratulated them
upon the progress that had been made in
Shreveport-a place that was once noted
for its hostility to Republicanism-in over
coming those difficulties. He had felt the
injustice of prejudice, and was therefore
all the better qualified to congratulate his
fellow-citizens that it had in great meas
ure disappeared, as was demonstrated by
the fact that he had been invited to attend
public meeting of the best citi
zens Of Shreveport, regardless Of
race, color or previous condition,
and asked to address them. This was in
deed progress in the right direction, that
justified him in saying that he believed the
two races were getting along mo1e har.
moniously in Caddo than in any other par
ish in the State. The acknowledgment of
the right and duty of citizens to come to.
gether and consult for the public interest
he undoubtedly regards of far more i'm
portance to any good that could come from
the enforcement of social equality ques-
ton that he believes every man has right
to regulate by choosing his associates. So
ciai equality can not be enforced by law
among any people. That is matter that
must be regulated by the people in their
individual capacity, and We are glad to
know that Lieutenant Governor Antoine's
good sense has led him to this conclusion.
