Devastating Floods.

NEW YORK, Jan. l6.-A special from
Norfolk says the whole Roanoke river
country has been laid waste by the re.
cent foods, and presents q startling
scene Of devastation. Those who have
been up and down the river say the
farms along ils course, for one or two
miles back, are nearly destroyed farm.
houses, barnes aud stables swept away,
fences destroyed, and all things por.
traying general ruin caused by the
waters. The complaints Of lbe farm
ers are heartrending and real. The
foods have ruined them, and left
them destitute ofmeans to recommence
lie on their barren aud wasted land.
The picture Is piteous one and must
be seen to be realized. The Roanoke
again commenced rising to-day.

ALL who love iustice aud hope for

hess for bis speech delivered in the
Senate 10 the interest Of the great body
ofthe people. His great effort, based
upon lncontrovertible facts SDd sus'
tained by his wonderful ability and elO'
quence, must have an admirable eaect
stthis important juncture. The Silver
Bill will soon be put upon its passage
in the Senate, and no one can doubt
that words like those Voorhees, gave
utterance to, will have weight In secur-
ing its triumphal passage. The South
will not forget this effort, for she has
felt the evils so vividly portrayed. 10
this country, where II is so easy to Sc
cure the necessarieS and luxuries OF life,
many oflthe most industrious expe'
rience the greatest difficulty in paying
taxes, and keeping the wolf from the
door, and some Of our best business
men walk around like mourn
ere, cotton goes down, down,
and the shrinkage Of values is fearful,
yet we are told by The blood.suckerS
that have grown rich at the expense Of
the Government, that silver is not good
enough for them! While 1t is so good
that the great body Of the people can't
get enough Of 1t, It is not. good enough
for the people who bought bonds
away below par. The people will
never assent 10 this.

Cremation Of the Dsna.

MUNICH. Nov. 30.-The Bavarian au-

testant Catholic and lsraehle congrega-

missive of cremation. The Catholics will
have nothing to do with cremation; the
Israelites refuse to express an opinion and
the Protestants say it would only imply a
change of directions in its liturgy and the
board of health recommend cremation in
the following contingencies; first after
battles, second during epidemics. third for
conveyance of remains to distant ports
and fourth where the soil is unsuitable for
burial purposes.

We can see some pleasure, if no reason.
in the convening of baby show. but we
could never see the slightest cause, rea
sonable or otherwise, for fat mans con-
vention, unless it be the fact that misery
loves company. For fifty or hundred
men, whose several weights range from
two hundred to three hundred pounds, tC
hold convention simply because of sc
much surplus avoirdupois, is absurd to say
the least. 1t becomes douby SO when We
reflect that obesity is a disease. What
would we think Of as many persons emaci
ated by consumption holding convention
to compare their relative weights. There
is but one ground upon which we wouIc
advocate another fat mems convention, anC
that is that they will meet to discuss thu
merits of Allan's Anti Fat, the only knowr
remedy for obesity. 1t is safe and reliable
