Thousands Of Sufferers Helpless on Planta.
tons Between Memphis and Chlcot CITY.

MEMPHIS, April 2s-The river is sta
tionary. There have been no arrivals from
below since the night previous. We have
very few additional particulars of the flood.
People constantly arrive in great numbers
from the counties along the rivers south of
Memphis, penniless and helpless. Mrs.
Walker and child came yesterday, borne to
a passing steamer in the arms of her hus-
band, who waded knee-deep in water a
hundred yards to reach the steamboat.
She reports that her husband and three
children, with three days provisions were
left in their half-submerged home. The
children were sleeping on shelves. The
cooking-stove was located on the dining
table. Pigs and fowls found shelter on the
house-top. Seven of nine horses were
starved or drowned. There are no provis-
ions in that section, which is overlooked
for miles. Their. neighbors are destitute
and starving. She came to obtain aid and
purchase food for her impoverished hus-
band and children. She is much grieved,
and fears that her husband and children
will die of hunger before relief reaches
them.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE SUFFERING.
In the country from here to Chicot the
woes of the people are unnumbered. None
are there to portray the sufferings of the
starving thousands on the submerged PLAN

the public. The condition of the people is

A Temperance Story.

The Louisville ConanercidLsays "There
lives in the vicinity of Jacksonville a big,
fat man. We never saw him on pair of
hay scales, but we judge he would pull
down about $50. The old gentleman is in
the habit of coming to the city OCCASION
ally, and sometimes gets more aboard than
he is able to carry conveniently. He had
a favorite horse, which he usually brought
to town, but, on one occasion, broke loose
from his hitchings, went home and left his
owner at tavern. The family of the old
man had been busy of late trying to induce
him to give up his love for beer. To this
end prayers were offered up and importu-
mites made, but they seemed to have
little effect. A few days ago he was COM
ing to the city, and he ordered that his
horse should be left in the stable and the
old family mare put to the buggy. Climb
ing i'll the old gentleman pursued his way
quietly until he arrived at the first saloon
on the route. Here he made an effort to
halt, but the old mare declined to respond
TO the pull of the reins. When urged to
halt, she tried to kick the front part of the
buggy out She was permitted to have her
own way, but, when an effort was made to
halt her at the next drinking place, she
again revolted against authority, and
wouldn't stop. And, during his entire
trip, he was unable to induce the old mare
to wait until he could get a drink. She
would stop anywhere except at place
where spirits were sold. Being of a super
stitious turn of mind, the old gentleman
thought he saw a warning in the actions of
the old mare, and he has resolved to give
up drinking. There is rejoicing in the
family of the.fat man athis happy turn of
circumstances. The mare has probably
caught the temperance fever

Baltimore, convicted of grossly immoral
conduct and unanimously expelled from
