The Western DeIuge,

The latest kilograms from the West give de-
tails of the rapid development of the inunda-
lions resulting from the unreasonable rain
storms that have visited portions of the Mis-
sissippl Valley. The Ohio, Wabash, Mo
nongahela and other rivers of the storm
washed States give unmistakable evil
dences of the severity of the deluge,
and the farmers along the river sides
are bewailing their losses in crops and other
property. Already the antcipations of the
most faint hearted are being realized, and we
read of railroad entertainments and bridges
being washed away by the swollen rivers and
canal banks bursting and adding their quota
of waters TO the general rush of the angry
floods.
The Arkansas section of the Mississippi
Valley has also been the scene of violent rain
storms and in undatlons, and the River Ar
kansas has already overhowed its banks
and carried destruction to the adjoining
low lands. Notwithstanding the wide
range of these aqueous meteors the
strange phenomenon presents itself of
areas untouched by the storms lying between
the stricken sections; for, although the Arkan-
sas and Upper Mississippi regions are suffer-
ing from the extraordinary rainfall, the adj
joining territories of the Red River and Lower
Missouri have not experienced any of the
visitations.
Advices from all parts of the globe inform
us of the universal prevalence of violent
storms OF rain accompanied by disastrous
inundations in the loWlands of the water
sheds of the great river systems. This almost
simultaneous visitation of storms over an I'M
precedented area of the earh's surface
disturbs some Of our theories of
the rotation of air currents and
cars, and to which so much importance is
attached by our scientific guides. The
movement of storm centres over the surface
of the United States exhibits q marked
change when o comparison is made between
several climatic parallels that belt the country
from the Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico
Taking period of two years
1872-74-the records of the Signal Service
Bur .au show the following results Over the
region of the great lakcs--that il, embracing
the section of the valley of the st. Lawrence
and the Canadas--an average number of
nineteen storm centres have passed
within that time, while over the upper
Mississippi Valley and part Of Missouri the
average number decreases to thirteen. The
upper saction of the Ohio Valley was visited by

be necessary TO his peculiar combinations, it
is not wise or prudent for the Governor of this
State of New York to be consorting with an
avowed and conspicuous gambler. The
O'Morrissey, with the honesty that belongs to
his race and his rank, frankly avows that his
function is to amass wealth in defiance OF the
laws OF this State. Faust Tilden has taken
solemn oath to observe these laws and enforce
them. How can he do it when we find him
from day to day in the companionhip of the
most distinguished gambler in the country?
The thought arises that our municipal
Mephistopheles, who was mischievous at
oil times, even in his merriest moods,
may have sinister purpose in permitting his
pupil to form these friendships. If Mephis-
tophcles Green wishes to have the contract
with Faust end before its time, if he really
means that there shall be that sudden descent
into the regions from which there is no re-
turn, then he is taking the proper method of
doing it by allowing his Faust Tilden to be-
come frequenter of the O. Morrissey' much
too famous resort in Saratoga Unless Faust
Tilden has bound himself so irretrievably
that he cannot escape it would be far better
for him to throw away his youth, his pleas
ant hours, his genius for merriment and
gayety, and resume that steady reserve and
quiet, stuoious life that was once his glory,
that led to his being selected as Governor 1t
would be more fitting as the Governor of the
State and an aspirant for the Presidency of
the nation than associations which lead Chris
tan men 10 look upon him with sorrow.

an average Of eight, and the Lower Missis-
sippi and the southern portion of the Ohio
Valley had only three. 1t will be observed
that the principal sources of the present great
floods in the West are the severe rain storms
that have visited the Upper Mississippi and
Ohio valleys. These regions appear to possess
an attraction for the masses OF vapor that
on condensation discharge the vast bodies OF
water when brought in contact with cold cur
rents. There is nothing abnormal in our
present rainy weather when it is considered
that nature always balances her accounts, SO
as to return in he shape ofrain what she has
taken by evapo ration.

The dinner of the Lord Mayor to the Min
istry, which took place last evening, is a social
custom which, in England, has political sig
nificance as marking the close of the session Of
Parliament Mr.. Dsraei delivered O speech, in
which he reviewed the conduct of public Of
fairs during the last session, and congratu-
lated England and the world upon the fact
that the nations were at peace and that he
believed peace would be maintained for a long
time. This the Premier attributed largely to
the diplomacy of his government, which had
been moderate, prudent and firm. AS was
natural in Prime Minister at the end of an
arduous term of service, Mr.. Disraeli con-
tended that the results of the session thus
far had justified the promise upon which he
had obtained power. The incident OF the
Merchants Shipping bill, which was an event
SO dramatic in its character as to excite the
astonishment of the world, was dismissed in
q manner Characteristic of Mr. Disraeli. In
stead of admitting that his government had
been forced into passing this measure he said
that it had merely been assisted" by public
opinion. In other words, the humiliating
surrender to the courage and energy of q pri-
vate member was easily explained as an act of
political condescension TO the majesty Of the
people.
The manner in which Mr. Disraeh regards
the Plimsoll incident will give fair illustra-
ton of the character of his Premiership. Con-
dernned by pubic opinion as having failed in
most of the essentials of Prime Minister he
relies upon his stalwart, confding majority,
and quietly assures the country that what in
tie eyes of every English politician was
defeat was simply trifing incident. Mr..
Disraeli closes the present session, his reputa-
ton sadly shorn and his influence shattered.
His elevation came from the fact that he was
believed to be the best tactician in English
public life. The blunders he has made would
have been unworthy of the merest tyro fresh
from the university Whether this comes
from i'll health or q wearing out of the brain
that has been almost supernaturaly active for
the last half century, or whether Mr.. Disraeli
possesses not the qualities to govern, but only
those necessary to lead an opposition, are
questions that are now exciting the public
attention in England They must belong TO
history. We are glad to know that the Prime
Minister leaves his country at peace with all
the world. This is something to be said to
