Levees Damaged I'm LOufsiE,Ma-Two
Crcvnsses Reported-Church blown
Down I'm Atlanta while FILLED with
PeopIe--Oniy Few Injured.
NEW ORLEANS, March ll.-Satur.
days storm damaged the levees to a
considerable extent. Crevasses are re.
ported ut Jesuits bend, eighteen miles
below the city, and at DR.. Wilkiuson's,
thirty.fve miles below the city, both
on the right bank. No estimate of the
damage has been made.
A special from Atlanta says the city
experienced to-day the severest wind
storm or ralnless tornado ever known.
The storm burst suddenly about ii a.
M, and when all the churches were
filed with worshippers, and lasted
without rain, with steady and tre-
mendous force, for two hours. The
Episcopal church, like the Others, was
filed at the hour for the commence,
ment of service, and no thought Of
danger was entertained by the congre-
CATION during the early part OF the
service, when the wind suddenly rose
and shook the whole building to Its
very foundation. The officiating min
lister realized that the tornado had
struck the building, and, knowing
that 1t was only question OF minutes
to secure the safety Of the people, cried
out to them to throw themselves under
the seats. This advice the congrega-
ton at once followed, and not mo-
ment too soon. With few fearful
breaks and jars OF Its roof, the walls Of
the whole building crumbled into q
shapeless ruin, burying the congrega-
ton under the debris. Luckily the
shelter afforded by the seats protected
the great mass Of the congregation.
But eighteen were seriously wounded
by falling timbers, and none Of these,
however, have died. Several other
churches In Atlanta have been serl.
ously injured, their walls shaken, and
the roofs partly stripped. The city
hall was entirely unrooied, and the
car sheds at the railroad depot unset
tied. Great damage, the estimate Of
which can not yet be determined, was
done to private residences and stores
throughout the city.
Later-There was no cyclone In any
part Of Georgia yesterday. High winds
prevailed from eight u m. to twelve
M, but the damage In Atlanta does
not exceed $500. A small and frail
Episcopal mission chapel was toppled
over. Fourteen persons were in 1t,
but no one was much injured. The tin
roofing on four buildings was blown
of, but the damage In the state will
not exceed 81 500. The statements In
yesterdays press reports were greatly
exaggerated.

ing thu chair, she teslIiied with great
coolnesa and In fair, straightforward
manner, apparently impartial In her
statements, In answer ~ the question
put TO her asking II she was acquainted
with the defendant aud deceased, she
answered yen She stated that prior
10 the killing both Of them
were pay log her court; that tho
deceased had proposed marriage 10 her
aud she had rejected him. After tho
refusal his visits were less frequent
than before. Tho defendant was pay
ing her attentions during the same pc.
Rod. The deceased oourted her the
second time, when she again refused
him. Was engaged at The time TO the
defendant, and was wearing u ring Of
his M token OF being engaged TO him.
The counsel for tho defense asked
htr II she knew that the de-
ceased was cognlaant Of her being
engaged TO the defendant Here
the witness, after hesitating awhile,
answered that she did not know, but
Judging from tho actions OF the de-
ceased, thought he did know OF tho
engagement. She said ~ far as she
knew the feelings of defendant TO-
ward deceased were friendly; he
never spoke dlsparaglngly CONCERNING
him. The feelings OF deceased toward
defendant were not good; he frequently
spoke unkiudly OF him TO her. On
one particular occasion deceased told
her that defendant had said that tho
witness had gone ON visit with her
mother and father to the house Of de-
ceassd's mother, and that witness had
made the visit with view Of seeing
deceased, and that he had left the
house to keep from seeing her. De-
ceased told her he WAS going TO see the
defendant about 1t, aud If he didn't fix
1t up he would thrash him. she
thought the unkind words spoken by
deceased OF defendant was caused by
bis being jealous OF him. This all oc-
cured but u short while previous to
deceased's death. A short while be-
fore the killing defendant, while on u
visit to witness, told her that he had
been badly abused by the deceased.
Said he could take a part OF the abuse,
but could not take that which related
to his family, and appeared to be very
much affected by 1t. The counsel for
the defense asked her to state what the
character of the abuse was, when the
objected, which objection
WAS sustained by the court, when the
witness vacated the stand.

about mainly through operations Of
Henry Froth, trading as Ashail Froth
d Son, who has been specializing large
ly, and whose operations are said TO
have caused all the above failures. The
debts Of the various firms are due prin>
cipally to banks and note brokers, who
negotiated their paper. All four Of the
firms were intimately associated in
business, and they all declare that
nobody In the trade beside themselves
has been involved. They attribute the
failure to general shrinkage OF values
in hams, the prices having declined
from ten cents during the winter to six
and five-eighth cents to-day, the
average price now realized being seven
and one.fourth cents for fifteen pound
hams. No time for meeting Of cred.

How the Quarantine Works at
Meridian.

The Meridian papers and people
are terribly exercised, because our
rigid quarantine regulations have
~interfered somewhat with the per-
sonal liberty of one or more of her
citizens. We frankly say that aver
since the fever broke out at Lake
and on the V, & NJ. road, our au-
thorities have regarded Meridian as
an infected port. There is ample
evidence that the Meridianites re-
garded themselves in great danger,
and, it is by no means, past, as will
be seen by the following extracts
from their papers:
"Meridian continues healthy and
so lar We have not even had Il sns-
picious case Of fever. We are III
debted to a rigid quarantine for
this immunity, and the same vigi-
lance should be kept up until after
IL killing frost. No considerations
of trade should interfere with it.
Very few from the country will
come hore until after all danger Of
the fever is past, and it all restric-
tons were removed but little Ousi-
ness could DO done. The business
of the next three weeks should be
to guard against yellow fever.

There is nothing perhaps, which
serves so well to mark out the true
gentleman us his demeanor when in
the presence Of woman. Respect
for woman is one of the Christian
virtues, it was unknown, or almost
entirely so, in every heather coun-
try !; even in those which had adj
yauced to the highest pinnacle Of
pagan civilization.
With christianity woman's rela-
tive position vas changed. From
the mere slave and instruments Of
mans pleasure, she became his com
panion and helpmate. She depend
ed on him for protection and he
gave her in return, as hers by right
as being the last and most finished
work of Gods hands, the love and
chivalrous respect, that only a true
man is capable Of.
The respect Of a noble man for a
woman, because she is a woman,
does not consist in the vGpid com
pliments and stupid nonsense in
dulged in by SO many young men,
when in company with persons of
the opposite sex, But it is that
habitual courtesy and unobtrusive
attention, that shows the respectful
feelings of the heart, and not alone
to those who are blessed with youth
and beauty or with fine garments,
but to all, who are entitled to the
name of woman. Who does not adj
mire the chivalrous act Of the boy
who turned back from his compan-
ions to assist a poor woman, a
stranger across the street, when he
perceived she was in need Of help,
and ON returning merely remarked.
she is somebody's mother" That
is the true note. Young man, cease
your empty Aattery, which shows nc
real respect, and which tends tc
make its objects less worth mans
respect and love and be more sen.
core in your intercourse with girls
cultivate a genuine respect for then
and all womankind, and then YOU
manner and conversation will SHOW
, it without any special effort, Oh
your part, and remember, that, th'
true measure of civilization in
country is the honor paid to woman
and the position he really occupies
in relation to the men.
