Persons coming from Shawneetown give
particulars Of the food Of yesterday
morning. The dyke is rectangular in
shape, enclosing the town. The river
commenced to rise Tuesday very rapidly,
owing to the rise at the mouth OF the
Wabash, ~ miles east Of Shawneetown.
" hen the vest wing Of the levee, about
half mile below the town. commenced
to show signs of weakness, the people OF
the town deserted their business and
houses and worked with sand-bags to
strengthen the levee. Wednesday the
authorities Of the town gave the alarm
| that the levee was expected to break. and
the people drove their stock to tie hills
north Of the town and many camped on
them. Every person had moved their
furniture, carpets, and goods from the
| first floor to the second stories, and were
prepared for the forthcoming flood, with
skiffs, Eat. boats, and RATS. Wednesday
night the whole male population worked
at the dyke, but at about 3 o'clock gave
up. as the river had reached within six
inches of the top Of the levee. A con-
ductor Of the Northwestern railroad says
his train was just leaving for st. Louis
and had got about half a mile from thu
depot when he was met by
man calling. 'sGo back! for Gods sake

A Model Democrat.

In 1865 a man named Richard Hamp-
ton broke the shop window of q harmless
matchmaker in Woolwich, England. He
was sent to prison for nine months, and
on the very day of his discharge returned
to WOolwich and smashed the same
window. This time the Court gave him
eighteen months; and once more, on the
day his sentence expired, he returned
His third sentence was for ten years;
but the other day he was, for good con-
duct, discharged on ticket of leave,
having served nearly eight years.
Promptly, for the fourth time, he went
straight to Woolwich, and once more
smashed the same window, and being
thereupon brought into court for a
fourth sentence, he remarked that he
would break that window as often as he
got the chance. for the rest of his life
He is in for another ten years. His
talent is wasted in England. There they
send him to the treadmill. Here he
would change his name to Pendleton
and run the democratic party in Ohio.
If Boss Kelly could get hold of him he
would make him Sachem of Tammany
at once. He is just the stuff of which
the democratic party has made its lead
ers for about twenty years. In all that
time the party, as we'll as the leaders,
have been going continually to the
& demnition bow-wows.' But every
lime they are "sent up" Salt River
hey VOW, like poor Richard Hampton,
that they Twill smash that window
whenever they have a chance. Y.

RALsroN's MEMoRY.-San Francisco
last night paid a high tribute to the
memory of the late Mr.. W. c. Ralston,
whose tragic death is still fresh in the
public mind. The deceased fnancier
left after him many and warm friends.
1t is not, therefore, to be wondered at
that the demonstration last night was an
immense success. It was provoked by
the uncharitable conduct of two promi-
nent San Francisco journals in attacking
with great bitterness the dead financier's
life. How bitterly the friends of the
Ralston family resent this can be judged
from the resolutions passed by the meet
ing and the active measures of retalia-
ton they have resolved on. Perhaps
the best tribute that can be paid to the
of the late Mr.. Ralston Is the
warm and large hearted interest shown
BY his fellow citizens in his good name.

BANK OF CALIFORNIA.

The Syndicate Fund for extricating the
Bank Of California from its present po-
sition has been materially increased by
the act of E. J. Baldwin, who subscribes
1000 900. The fund is nov between
$1,000. 900 and $4,000. 900. and it is
thought subscribers will not be called
upon to pay in over % per cent. Mr..
Baldwin is not a stakeholder, but is
probably the largest depositor in The
bank, and we understand holds 81, 700,
600 in certificates of deposit. Hence his
interes. in the matter. and he has been
very properly elected Director to fill a
vacancy. Those engaged in straiShten-
ing the affairs of the bank have made
excellent progress in their work, but still
further time is required to provide for
bills Of exchange and letters of credit in
distant parts of the world, as such ar
rangements must necessarily be carried
communication with the Oriental Bank
Of London on this very business, and
the London Bank is facilitating their
efforts with commendable zeal. As the
work progresses. the true condition of
affairs becomes more fixed. Enough
has been accomplished to show that the
liabilities will not exceed 81, 1000, 600.
OF this amount, SIS. 900, 600 is due depos-
itors, but 81 400, 900 of the total was paid

ident is confident that all demands of
depositors and others can be satisfied in
this way, and yet leave s. 900. 600 sur

cent. From the pleasant outlook, this
surplus will be nearer s., 1000, 600 than |

to prevent the possibility of any disap- |
pointment. The indications this after |

We understand that the Queen has
presented half length portrait of her
self to Mrs. Iredwell, Of Mineola, in the
United States. Mrs. Tredwell is the
widow Of an American physician who
died two years ago, leaving behind him
number of papers and old documents.
While searching among these not long
ago Mrs. Tredwell came across q letter
written to Miss Campbell by the gov
erness to the children of George III.
The letter contained glowing descriptions
Of the six princes and three princesses
of the royal family, all of whom were
especially praised for their "deport-
ment." The letter was in many respects
q uniquely interesting one, and Mrs.
Tredwell sent it to Her Majesty, who
appears to have been much interested in
the document. Mrs. Tredwell has now
received an acknowledgement of her pres
ent from Buckingham Palace, through
the British Legation at Washington, ac-
companied by the photograph We have
alluded to. 1t is enclosed in bronze
frame. with finely wrought bronze doors,
and contains the following inscription
I'm recognition of the gift, by Mrs
Tredwell, of an old family letter, dated
IVA, in which is a most interesting de-
scription of George III. written by their
governess. '-AfhenTum.

The Eureka Sentinel of Sept. IA, re-
viewing the "war record" Of the
authorities OF Lincoln county and criti-
cising their fierce illumination against
Cleavland and Murphy, says:
1t will be observed that these Lincoln
vernon il is rumored that Patterson and
Cave Valley were surrounded by 300
warriors, but they said positively and
unequivocally that it was SO. Did
either Cleavland or Murphy authorize
that statement, or did it originate in the
fertile imagination of some member OF
Lincoln's Board? We have no sympathy
with those who promoted in any way the
big scare, but we do insist that the truth
of history shall be indicated. Every
where in this section of the State the
universal verdict is that the Lincoln
County Commissioners did more toward
spreading the general alarm than any
other set of men in the State. and 1t Is
quite certain that not a soldier would
have started from California but for the
800 hostile Indians discovered by the
excited board at Patterson and Cave
Valley. These Lincoln officials display
far more cheek than judgment in at
tempting to shift the responsibility OF
the panic.
In this conclusion the senior editor Of
the Sentinel displays his usual sound
Judgment and capacity for driving
straight at the core of things. In a case
where q whole community was stam-
peded. as in this one, it is pretty I'M
gracious thing for one set of the panic
stricken to try and put the burden of
blame upon any one man or set of men.
1t is not impossible that bye and bye,
when the bills incurred by this war -
come up for payment, there will be an
attempt to saddle the blame upon Go
vernon Bradley. We have already heard
it insinuated that the Governor and
Governor, being cattle men
and having good many large interests
in the Great East, were only too willing
that this war should go on. The APPEAL !
is recognized as pretty strongly imbued |
with Radical Black Republicanisn. but !
it will no: make any fight which dates |
from any such mean attacks upon the
motives OF our Democratic State officials. !
We are for q fairer deal than that. We I
think the Governor is greatly to be COM :
mended for the unauestioning promp-
titude with which he acted in calling for
troops and putting volunteers in motion.
All the money that this unfortunate
fasco will cost is not worth one honest
white mans life. In summing up the
results of a scare like this it is a very
thing to do as Fife and his
elbow fault finders are doing. We all
lave a good right to laugh over the
general fright, but We cannot see where
anybody who took an active part to meet
he dangers is to be blamed.
