The flood in the Sacramento river, Cali
fornia, has broken through all the dykes
protecting the islands that had been re-
claimed from the river and converted into
rich farming lands, causing an immense de-
struction OF property. The islands over
flowed contained 10000 acres in high state
OF cultivation. An exaggerated estimate OF
the loss places it at from fifteen to twenty
millions OF dollars. An effort is making to
save the live stock.
Two years ago droVer started from CAL
ifornia with 1000 sheep. He has just ar
rived in Texas, having driven the flock all
the way, assisted by two well-trained dogs.
The sheep have increased in numbers, and
frequent stops for pasturage have kept
them in good condition. They are intended
for slaughter in the eastern market.
At the village OF La Clappe, France, re-

feet from the surface may be seen sheet OF
water.

LONDON. February 23.-The effect Of the
passage OF the silver bill through the United
States Senate by more than two-thirds ma
iority was not at once apparent in American
bonds. Prices at first showed tendency
to advance, probably in sympathy with the
general tone of the markets, but there has
since been some genuine selling, which
caused relapse.
The Economist says the rise in the price
oi silver is due to the passage OF the Bland
silver bill, the speculative absorption OF In
dia Councils paper, and the purchases by
Russia from Germany for coinage purposes.
The lsmeS,s financial article says: "The
recent rise in the price Of silver was the re-
suit, for the most part, Of speculation. Its
maintenance, consequently, depends upon
the present holders being relieved OF their
purchases by an actual demand"
The Economist says: "The rate OF dis
count in open market has been firm at II
per cent. The stock markets have been
Subjected to very sharp fluctuations during
the week. On Thursday the fall Of prices
was almost universal. Statements were cir
culated that Russia was massing large bodies
Of troops in Roumania and buying silver
from the Germans to heavy amount; that
our government was hurrying forward
preparations, and that Lord Derby would
make an unfavorable statement in the House
of Lords that evening. This Lord Derby
did not do; consequently there has been u
fairly good revival of confidence, and the
result of the week has been moderate i'm
proyement in most securities"
In Mincing Lane this week The markets
have been inanimate, and the prices Of a
few articles that were last week Influenced
by speculative demand have slightly re-
coded.

was taken out in a senseless condition, and
died at $50 O'Clock this morning. he had

state that in the matter OF commissioners Of

might be made, but we deem it unnecessary
to particularize farther. Weare fully aware
that our system is bad one, and that our
laws carrying 1t out are even worse, re-
quiring very heavy expense. We would
therefore the more strenuously urge upon
our county authorities in every department
to be earnest and careful In their efforts to
do away with every item-even the small
est-which can be without inconve-
nience or Getriment to the public SER
vice, and to reduce all charges against
the county to the lowest possible
amount. In this way we are encouraged to
hope that our next levy may be reduced to
some 25 or 80 cents on the 800 Of taxable
property, and that even farther reduction
may be made from year to year by prac-
ticing such economy and business rule as
prudent men bring to bear in their indi-
