GREAT FLOOD IN CUBA,
80 Plantations and so Farms Utterly De
stroyed.

80 Plantations and so Farms Utterly De
stroyed.
The floods in Cuba, following the late
hurricane, flooded through some
eight counties, destroying 80 large
plantations and over so smaller farms.
At plantation called Fermina, where
the main trunk of the railroad has a tun-
mel, eight feet of water remained on the
ground five days after the hurricane.
The low lying lands were overrun to the
heighth of the housestops, and on the
plantations only the chimneys were to
be seen above the water. The inunda-
ton covers an area of about forty miles.
The exact cause of the flood is un-
known, but it is supposed to have been
occasioned by the heavy rain; some peo-
pie believe that springs came .out of the
earth.
In some sections the damage done by
the flood was much heavier than that
done by the hurricane. Exact estimates
cannot yet be made, but it is supposed
the sugar crop has suffered by both'calam
tiles. From fifteen to twenty per cent. of
the crop will, nevertheless, be about as
large as last years, because it promised
to be exceptionally large.
The tobacco crop will be retarded, be-
cause the seedlings were destroyed, but
they can be replaced in most cases,

THE.sHoE THAT PINCHEs.

Ihe greatest snare that Satan has set
for woman's vanity is tight shoe. Wo-
men for whom real lace is no temptation
and who can turn their backs ON loves of
bonEets from Paris to concoct homemade
ones, out of the treasures ,of the s'patch
bag" will yield to the shoemaker,s fiat
tering but delusive vow that the vice in
to which he had just forced their toes is a
''perfect fit," and 60 home with pair of
.'number twOs" in a small parcel, trying
to believe that they will feel easier to-
morrow, and that they have been very
foolish to wear s'number threes" so long.
You who read this never bought shoe
that was too small, know. Inever did,
either; torture could not force from us
that confession: but now and then we
have been obliged to own that though the
shoe was not too small for the foot, the
foot was too large for the shoe. '.
doubt whether woman lives who
has not once in her life found herself
equipped for some important occasion in
such beautiful pair of shoes-a pair
which it was impossible to take off and
leave at home without endeavoring to
endure the torture. if she had the least
particle of vanity. Not tight pair, only
smaller than ssthose horrible loose ones
she has been wearing; and it was so
wrong to grow used to such immense
things, until one could not wear decent
SHOE" So very wrong.
Each of us have some secret remem-
brance of that time of torture through
which we clung to our vanity for help
and comfort, of the twings that soon Wis
tied the joints, the pains in the ball of the
foot; of the way that slowly, but surely
all the enjoyment of some pleasant even
ing or merry day died out, and we
thought of nothing but our miserable
| feet. While some one spoke to us We
were absorbed in an effort to twist them
into some comfortable sosition. While
were listening to sweet music we were
longing for it to be over, that we might
take off our shoes. While we pretended
to enjoy ourselves we were inwardly
praying for patience, and secretly stand
| ing first on one foot and then on the 9TH
er, to lase ourselves a little.
One whose shoe pinches, thinks of
nothing else for the time being, and
knows also that she shall think of moth
ing, care for nothing else until release
comes. Ask such sufferer for defini-
tion of bliss, and she will speak, or at
least think ofthat Oldest pair of slippers
in her shoe-bag, the trodden down pair
with no pinch in them. In Paradise an
gels wear such shoes, she feels very
sure.
Life has not so many happy moments
that one may waste them. So, my dear,
when Satan, in the shape of shoemaker
assures you that shoe which is too small
for you fits you superbly, turn from him
at once. Remember the aches, the pains,
and the retributive corns of the past, and
be brave. 1t may be trying to ones vani-
ty to take larger pair, but do it, and
put from you, despite all temptation. a
shoe that pinches.

PROBABLE DEMAND IN ENGLAND Fol

PROBABLE DEMAND IN ENGLAND FOR
AMERICAN WHEAT.-There are many
indications in England of the probability
of large demand there this winter for
American wheat. A writer in the Lon
don Times says that last year the British
wheat crop was % per cent. below an
average, whilst this year it is IL per cent.
below. The amount this year available
for consumption, after deducting the
wheat necessary to be retained for seed,
is stated at about 72,O00,000 bushels, the
average yield per acre being 25 bushels
this year, The requirements of the pop
ulation for the year are estimated at 184,-
OOO, 900 bushels. Therefore 112,OOO, 900
bushels must be imported, an amount
about equal to the imports of foreign
wheat into England during the past year.
In the wheat trade the fact is demonstra-
ted in England that wheat can be impor-
ted cheaper than it can be grown. Each
year there is a diminution in the acreage
sown. Thus the increased yield per acre
this year, compared with last year, is en-
tirely offset by the reduced surface plan
ted in wheat, which is but 3,114, ,556 acres.
England now looks to the United States
as her chief source of supply for foreign
wheat, of which San Francisco sends her
probably the greatest amount of any
single port.

THE SCENE AT DEMOCRATIC HEADQUAR-
TIERS WHILE THE PRESIDENT
ELECT WAS THERE.
The excitement in the city yesterday
was hardly lessuniversal and intense than
during election day. The sensational
and absurd bulletins of the Republican
journals aroused gleam of hope in des-
pOndent Republican breasts only to be
dispelled by closer examination Of the
returns; but immense crowds surrounded
the newspaper offices and the headquar-
ters Of the two National Committees un-
tila late hour, anxiously awaiting ad-
ditionaf returns. In Wall street there
was general discussion of the result, and
gold fell lower than at any time prior to
the electiOn-thus exhibiting the univer-
sal confidence in Mr.. Tilden's future ad-
ministration, and conclusively disproving
the frantic forecastings of Republican Or
atOrs. The intelligence which came late
at night that Governor Hayes had con-
ceded che election of Mr.. Tilden, and de-
lprecating the attempts to promulgate false
hopes among his adherents, finally dis
PEELED any lingering idea that the Repub-
lican candidates had any prospect of cleo
| ton, and the excited town went to bed.
The official vote for Mr.. Tilden in New
York City was announced yesterday to
be Ill, ,2GS; for Mr.. Robinson Ill, $40 ,and
| for Mr.. Ely Ill 1,233. Mr.. Tilden spent
the larger part of the day at Democratic
Headquarters, and soon after had an in
teresting conversation with World re-

SOCIAL L1FE.-Any great movement
for good in social life begins at home.
It begins with fathers and mothers
The first and highest social duty is to
make home cheerful and attractive
Husband and wife must do this for each
other. Without this mutual affection
will dry up. If they have children, it
is their duty to make home sweet and
precious to them. Children with good
homes seldom 60 to the bad. Girls
who have learned to trust their mother,
in their whole round of thought seldom
get talked about. Boys who are made
to feel the strength of fathers and the
tenderness of a mothers love, seldom
run wild. Their natural love of fun
and mischief does not bind them over
to the devils service. Pleasant, cheer
full, bright homes. then, are the great
demand. They may be poor, but they
can still be pleasant, attractive and
good. The heart and spirit are more
than furniture and dwelling

three childen were
born to them !; the
husband was success

wife was an attractive
hostess; their life was
garnished with sun

gambler met the lady
at a bal masque, aud
she fell in love with
him. Secret inter-
views followed, and f.
nally she abandoned
her luxurious home
and fed to Cuba with
her seducer. The hus-
band followed them,
but was unable to hunt
them down. After his
return to New Orleans
his children were
stricken down by a
Southern plague. and
he was reduced to beg
| gary. The whirligig
of time had crazed this
helpless soul. He was
taken to a madhouse,
where he remained for
twenty-three years and
finally, when former
friends had forgotten
him, and ne was no
longer an object Of in
terest to the outside
world, he was released,
helpless and penniless,
to die as chance befell
him. In his wander
ings he reached Balti-
more, carrying with
him as a link connect
ing him with happier
days. the New Orleans
and Mobile papers
which told the story of
his wife's desertion,
the subsequent death
of his children, and Of
his confinement in the
madhouse.
