THE LATEST PROM BROOKLYN.


A New York letter without Beech
er would be like a New England
Sunday without baked beans. From
the appearance of things in Plymouth
Church, the presen. calendar year
will be spent in proving what every
body is convinced of already. But
the Council now convened At the call
of the church itself is headed by DIR.
Leonard Bacon, whose acuteness,
yelled skillfnlly under daring frank
ness, will not hesitate to probe for
the truth in whatever direction it lies.
1t is possible that Plymouth Church
has counted TOO literally on DIR.
Bacons's support in the Council. Al
ready, shrewd questioning has drawn
out the order of action in Mrs. Moul-
tons case, in which the ingenuity OF
Plymouth Church maneuvring appears
to better advantage than its honesty
by long sight. 1t didn't propose to
60 on with the Council in spite Of its
own protest, till it was sure that Drs.
Storrs and Buddington we're pretty
csrtsin not to come. Plymouth Church

LEAP-IEAR PARTIES
Are discreetly INDUCED in, with the
name of two or three married ladies'
of the highest standing at the head of
the invitation cards, as vouchers for
decorum, and the chic OF the affair.
The centennial had nearly put it
out of peoples heads that this is leap
year, with its perils and privileges.
But since the "cabinet young ladies"
iE Washington have set the example
Of honoring the occasion by a ball,
leap-year Germans will vary the mon
otony Of kettledrums and the glare of
public balls.

feet above, the banks are eight feet high. J.
G. Sarter's slaughter-house has tumbled in,
and the diggings back of town have all
caved. Buckingham & Co. and Stagner,
Powers & Hoaglan's drain and diggings are
badly damaged, if not totally ruined. The
wheel and pump above them are a total
wreck, the blind ditch is filed up and will
have to be opened, at a cost of nearly $4,000,
before they can resume work. Penny &
Mcleod have sustained some damage, but as
yet their large pile of pay-dirt is safe. The
road from Cement to Diamond is COM
pletely washed away. The trestlework UNI
der the iron flume of the Boulder Ditch
Company is being undermined and it is
feared it will fall down. The current is
sweeping against the bank within a few feet
Of the residences Of Mr. Kent and Mrs. F.. A.
Walling, and they are preparing to abandon
their houses. The side-ditch of the Consoli-
dated Flume Company, below Eldorado bar,
gave way yesterday, turning the flood out
below the dam, but the proprietors are CIV
ing it their personal attention and feel GER
tain of saving it.
1t is impossible to give a correct estimate
of the damage to the miners, as the flood is
still rushing and washing away timbers,
lumber, and boxes. 1t is safe, however, to
estimate the damage to King & Gillette's
dam and flume at $1,000.

The warm sun and gentle breeze of last
Sunday started the water in the mountains
and it has been coming down Confederate
gulch with a general rush, the water rising
from GOO to nearly 5000 inches inside of four
hours. On Monday morning Mr.. Phillips
took up his position at the dam near the
head of King & Gillette's fiume, and re-
NAMED there patching the embankment,
clearing the gates, and directing the course
of the water as best he could. AT 6 o'clock,
%. M, the rise had continued SO as to fill
both gates (7x3 feet) to their full capacity,
and the flood was within two inches of the
top Of the dam. Mr.. Phillips, assisted by a
force employed by DR.. Parberry, was kept
busy fishing out the drftwood and doing
everything calculated to avert the destruc-
ton of the dam. At 10 o'clock a heavy
shower of rain, lasting an hour, poured
down completely saturating the embark
ments, and at midnight the gravel in the cut
below the dam began to crumble and in an
instant the water leaped over-carrying
away the ~embankment, timbers, fumes, and
everything from rim to rim. AT the time of
going to press King & Gillette's flume is
buried to a depth of twelve feet for a dis-
lance of i 1000 feet, and the cut at the dam is
down to the depth of 20 feet, while at the
point where the road crosses the gulch, 800

to hear of it coming further out Of it's banks
than ever before.

Editor HuSbandnaan: Seeing in your col
umns a sketch of the experience of Mr.. B.
in exterminating grasshoppers, reminds me
OF my fight with them. I used the same
weapons, but with a far different result.
In making the first charge, | used my side
arms, being coal oil and a cloth, and COM
pletely saturated the vegetation. l fell back
a short distance to lay in a fresh supply of
ammunition, thinking all the while that I
had hit my mark and gained a victory. But
on my return my surprise can be better i'm
agined than described. All traces of veee-
tation had disappeared, and the 'hoppers
had possession Of the cloth. I should sup
pose, from their position that they were per-
forming the ~wellknown Indian "green corn
dance,' occasionally calling for more coal
oil. If any lives were lost, I failed to find
any bodies Oh the battlefield. Now, if YOU
who kill g%rasshoppers with coal oil feel like
DOMINIC your accouterments Of war and
comming over, I will show you where they
can be found in force, defying oil or water.
