SCARCITY OF RENTs.-TheTe is an unusual
scarcity of tenements for families in this city
at the present time From what we hear we
have no doubt but that two or three hundred of
rents ranging from 5000 to $500 per annum
could be disposed of without delay. A little
over year ago such class of rents were COM
paratively plenty. There has been quite large
number of houses built. yet the demand has
overtaken and surpassed the supply.

THE OBsTRUcTIoNs.-The sidewalks begin to
look little bare as nearly all the distractions
are disappearing, and yet every one appears
just as happy as when he was using the whole
sidewalk opposite his place of business. There
was only one transgressor found on CONNER
cial street yesterday, and he only had barrel
and firkin on the sidewalk. All the frnit deal
ers have taken in their stands, and if any enc
wishes to get an apple he will have to step into
the store. Let the good work go on.

TEMPERANCE RRFoRM.-A very interesting
temperance meeting was held at the Second
Parish church last evening, under the auspices
of the Reform Club. Rev. j. M. Palmer pre-
sided, and after few appropriate remarks de-
clared the meeting open to all. Remarks were
make by several gentlemen in the cause of tenn.
perance, and the most successful mode to adj
vance it. The general sentiment of the meet
ing was that the work of temperance should
begin in the church. Reports were made re-
garding the work in other places, which showed
very hattering prospect for the cause. The
speakers were all very enthusiastic. 1904

JUST SAvED.-As the British brig Maud
Potter, from Porto Rico with cargo of molas-
ses, was coming into port yesterday, she had
narrow escape from running on Portland Head
Ledge. The tug Warren happened to be near
by, and threw a line to her. 1t was caught
just as the brig grazed the ledge. The steve
dore's boat towing at the stern, was crushed to
atoms between the brig and the rocks.

THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD.
The Water Subsiding-The Prospect
Brighter.

YAzoo CITY, April 29.-The river here is fall
ing slowly, and reports from all points above
show that the Yazoo, Tallabatchie and Yalla-
busha rivers are falling. Greenwood, Talla-
'batchie, is entirely submerged, the water there
being higher than in 1872. No serious damage
resulted from Hushpackana crevasse, and fears
of general overflow are subsiding. A few more
days of clear weather with the tremendous cur
rent now in the river, will suffice to carry off
nearly all the water covering tilable land. Only
little more than one-third of the lands are now
under water. Merchants and planters are quite
hopeful, and indications are that the crops in
Yazoo valley will not be so alarmingly short as
