The FLOODS OF PAST YEARs.--A citi-
zen of ChieOt, Arkansas, has kept a rec
ord of the floods in the lower Mississippi,
from which the following facts are
cleaned:
We find that great foods prevailed in
TITS, '35, 40, '82, '85, '91, '96, $50 1909, II, 10,
'15, '16, '23, '24, '28, IA, 40, 90, '57, 90, 80,
f62, $50, '67, n, and the greatest at this
particular locality is the present, 1874.
While every year the river has been
bank full, the above are remarkable
| either for great height, duration of wa
ter, or series of big rises during the year.
The overflow of 1875, lasted from the
latter part of December, 1874, till the
last of June, 1885; and this, too, when
there was only fOrty-tWo miles Of leyee
on the Mississippi, and that extending
twelve miles below and thirty miles
above New Orleans. In 1910, when but
little more leveeilg had beendone, there
was a similar flood. In the year 1882 the
water washigllerthan ever before known
by the Oldest inhabitants 1885 equal to
that of 1849 1871 equal to that OF 1876
astponS that it was imagined the north
ern lakes had found an outlet in this
river. AT Natchez this flood was two
feet lower than in 1859. The only great
flood years were 1898, 1874, 1S49, 1850,
1851, 1853 and 1859; but 1862 was above
them all, between Napoleon and Vicks-
burg. That of 1868 was at q stand 81
days; 1859, 95 days Mt Memphis, and the
former 1906 at Napoleon and 1s9 at Vicks-
burg.
So we observe from the record that
overfiows were as high before levees
were built and of longer duration there
fore it will not do to assume that the
Ieyees produce either or both results.

as the clouds begin to gather, they rest

Whether it Is that people become i'm
