The New Orleans Times, July 9th,
says of the prospects Of an overflow oil
the Mississippi:
The great danger of an overflow 1.-THE
Mississippi, which has already been fore
Swallowed in the dispatches from Mem
phis for several days past, is amply con
frmed by the immense quantity OF DRIFT
wood now floating down the river, and
BY the statement OF old river pilots.
With many Of these the danger Is con-
sidered imminent rs far down rs the
mouth of the Red river, the low condition
OF that tributary, and of the Ouachlta,
Black. and BAYOU Bartholomew render
ing it improbable that any injury by
overflow can result to the interior crops
of the State.
The present great rise is Il phenomena
in river dynamcs, which only occurs
once in a great period OF years, and Is due
to the following facts:
The great rain shed which gives the
Father of waters its floods is composed vi
dozen different States, in each OF which
the tall of rain i affected by such climate
and local conditions rs to render rains or
storms should occur in all the draining
territory ut once Yet this, or something
like il, is what is now happening. The
elements for once have combined. Should

p at once, no levccs that ever had been
built could contain the volume .! water.
Though the last dispatches from Mem
phis announce overilows in the rlver
above, and that the people were Offering
up prayers for the preservation from
death and loss which would result in gen
cral disaster, and though the crop will
probably fall short of previous estimates,
there does not seem to be any great dam
ger of any such overflow in Louisiana or
Mississippi as that which over year ago
brought such suffering 10 our people.
So that, while sympathizing with the
misfortunes Of others, we would at least
have the consolation of knowing that the
loss would have the effect of increasing
the value of the cotton crop which escap'

Remarks Of Senator GOold,

Mr. PRESIDENT To prevent mistakes, have
written what have to say this question.
have been blamed in this matter as the attention
of the Senator from Hancock was called TO this re-
solve by myself. In correcting engrossed bills,
yesterday, noticed at the end of one, the SEN
tence, 'Jor iife", and looked back TO see if the
punishment for murder had not been changed in
my absence, but, on reading, recognized this old
claim for pension, and that II resolve had passed
the House, granting ii, for life Last year | was
a member OF the "Commitlec on Pensions" and
also in previous year; during both sessions, Mr..
Smith was an applicant for pension for injur-
les received while on hi way home IRON mill
tary muster in 1899, by being thrown from his
wagon. Last year the committee under great
pressure from without, and against the wishes of
several of It's members, reported resolve grant
ing him aid, but not for life. If senators will ex-
anime their journals, they will see that the Senate
rejected that resolve after lis passage through the
house, and that il was amended or new one in
troduced in that branch, and that also was indei-
nitely postponed by the Senate, for which act we
received bitter denunciations from parties who APP
peared to be interested. And now the same old
claim, of many years standing, comes up again,
and is pushed as persistently ever. For fifty
years and more, lady of one of the Middle states
besieged Congress for the pay for horse, which
she claimed was lost 10 her, by the action of some
United States officer, and "Amy Darden's mare,
became bye-word. This Benjamin Smith claim
bids fair TO rival Amy Darden's. have not seen

Assisting Nature.

II is of no use attempting to force nature. She

it were, not driven. For instance in attempting to
overcome constipation or INDIGESTION, violent, or
what ply scians call by way of euphony, "heroc"
treatment is sure to defeat the purpose in view,
which is or should be, to permanently remedy the
evil. The of drastic cathartlcs is especially to
be deprecated, for although they temporarily
overcome costveness, yet the intestines are so
weakened and nhamed by them rs to be rendered
