NO FLOOD.
The River Come TO a Stand at 81. Louis
The Damage Done.

ST. LOUIS, May I0-The river came
to stand this evening, ard is now reced-
iDg very slowly. The decline will be
very slow until the river gets within its
banks, but the apprehension that mate
rial damage would result from the over
flow is very much lessened. Work on
the dykes in Esst st. LCuis, and other
low places continues, however, and
every precaution is being taken to guard
against further injury to property. No
estimates Of the damage already done
have been made yet, and perhaps will
not for some days. The injury here and
along this side OF the river has been
more in the suspension Of business Of
the various establishments along the
river bank than in the destruction Of
property, but stiIl much damage has
been done by the inurdation.

Yesterday morning Jones Jackson,
a quiet and law.abiding colored citi-
zen of Detroit, rolled out of his
downy couch at FIVE o'clock, having
planned to do a couple of hours work
for a neighbor before breakfast. His
wife is lame, and he consented to
light the fire and put on the tea-kettle
for her. She promised to have break
fast all ready at seven, and turned
over and dreamed that she was cap
tain of baseball club. Jones as
sisted the fire with little kerosene.
He has used kerosene many months
for this purpose, and no newspaper
item headed "Another Fool tries It,"
could ever raise his hair. He placed
the can on the top of the stove, after
pouring a quantity of oil on the wood,
and he was just the crowbar to 60 off
and leave it there, with the bottom
getting hot before he had his coat on.
There is nothing in dreams. Mrs.
Jackson lay there dreaming that she
was a rhinoccros in travelling mus
cum of living wonders, and that
red-headed boy was feeding her gin
gerbread. Just as he was handing
her the biggest hunk" Of all the
sound of an explosion opened her
eyes. The kerosene would have ex-
ploded just the same if she had
dreamed that she was sacred COW
from India, or if she hadn't dreamed
at all. The neighbors heard the ex-
plosion, and they saw some one come
out of the window-some one who
looked Just like Mrs. Jackson. Fire
followed her, and if she hadn't rolled
on the grass and turned summersaults
In the mud the colored people of De-
troit would, to-day, be asking when
that funeral was to take place. Jones
reached home on therun, and through
his own heroic exertions saved large
horse-radish crater and wash dish
with three rags run through three
holes in the bottom. The neighbors

A Specu1ating Daughter.

California has 1873 year old lady,
whom daughter wishes to exhibit
at the Centennial. Another daugh-
ter, however, got an injunction serv-
ed upon her, preventing her from do
ing so on the ground that it would
endanger the old lady's life to sub
ject her to the fatigue and excitement
of such a proceeding. After the pro,
ceedings preventing the taking her
from the care of her more natural
and affectionate daughter, the lady
was spirited away by the restrained
party, and she will, if the mother
lives long enough, probably accom-
plish her purpose Of exhibiting her

knew how much lower she would
have to descend if she went with me,
I abhorred myself. She vowed she
would go everywhere went and do
everything I did. Could l see her
do that? Her loveliness stained
she pure as an angel? No sir! if it
kills me l will leave off and never
touch, taste, Or handle any more
from this night, henceforth, and for
ever. And now gentlemen, help me
to be a man again."
The building vibrated with the
cheering, stamping, and clapping,
and gush of song rose from those
many hearts which might have been
heard for miles.
Oh! "there is joy in heaven over
one sinner that repenteth," and
should there not be Joy on earth?
We hope God converted the soul
Of Mr.. Rose, for he became a good
man, and his family we've very hap
py. But we hope no other daughter
will have to resort to SO painful
remedy to save father C'ongre-
nationalist.

boat, tore his bed down, upset his

Jones had seveIal theories regarding
the fire:
cit may be dat it was fristion," he
explained to the crowd, "and it may
be dat suthin' blode up and bust it's
biler, but de sensible opinion is dat
de kerosene can billed over and raised

The other day Dctroiter, who

you ever kill any one while you were

After long pause the boy continued.
"Then you must have got near

you?" 1t was then discovered to be
about school time.
