THE fall of water in England this
year is something unparalleled, and
none OF the floods have done more dam
age than those Of the past few days.
The dispatches announce that Birken-
head, opposite Liverpool, is flooded.
and that traffic on the railway between
Chester and Holyhead is stopped.
Sheffield is flooded and the foundations
Of several houses washed away. There
have been thirty hours of incessant
rain in Chester. The wheat in all that
part of the country is rotting, and
standing crops are worthless and will
not be cut In fact, all over England
the failure of the crops has been more
complete than has been known for
many years. The suffering this winter
cannot fail to be widespread and very
severe, and it will take liberal out
pouring of money on the part OF tho
rich to prevent almost famine among
tho poor. The demand upon this coun-
try for provisions will bc something
enormous, and will, of course, bring
heaps Of yellow gold to our shores.

A FRESH gold fever has set in in
Australasia in consequence of the dis
covcry OF gold in large quantities on
the western coast of the island of Tas-
mania Expeditions have already been
arranged from Melbourne, and IL il
probable that this colony, which has
been for some time past in lethargic
condition, will start forward under tho
impetus given by the influx Of u largo
number of miners An ounce and
half Of gold day, which quito n num-
bor of seekers are now said to bc re-
alizing, would certainly indicate IL very
rich deposit.

Two interesting specimens Of the

one having been captured with others
At Bornco after desperate chase, in
the course Of which eight natives lost
their lives The animals fell into an

Of weakness when they were garroted

THE monument to General Custer
was unveiled at West Point lately.
Algcrnon $. Sullivan delivered the pre-
sentation address and General N. L.
Banks was orator of the day. "We
should give to the white people Of tho
Indian country chance TO tight their
own battlcs," he said, cor keep the
peace for them. We should give to
the Indians the political character to
which they nspire--make them citizens
or leave them savages as they choose,
and settle with them as citizens or saw
ages every three ,aonths. Short nc
counts make long friends. Our army
should be of sufficient strength to make
wars short and one Indian war should
never succeed another. If the money
that is expended to improve tho rivors
without water and harbors without
commerce were appropriated for tho
army, Indian wars would cease for

gratulations. Among those who came
was old Alexander Wilson, who has
given forty-one years. continuous SER
vice at the Walnut street theatre, and
who was attached to Cooks circus
when it was located on the ground now
occupied by the Continental Hotel.
Old Wilson keeps the gallery door, and
he has been at his post for twelve years
every night the house has been opened.
Previous to that he was for nearly thir-
ty years the master carpenter Of the es-
tablishment. In his youth he was a
soldier in the English army, and al
though verging oil four score he is still
strong and hearty, and, as he said when
shaking hands with Reed: John, we've

tinguished in the profession into which
they entered so liumbly. First of these
stand John f. Owens, w. J. Florence
and half a dozen others scarcely less
famous.
The presents were numerous and
beautiful. John S. Clark sent a large
gold medal, appropriately engraved, and
there were presents in gold of every
description, a cake basket, a card re.
ceiver, rings, bracelets and breastpins,
gold coin till the value of that item
summed up nearly $500. TIE attaches
in the front part of the theatre gave a
large sum of coin; and, the actors
and orchester sent IA handsome purse
and a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles,
which Mr.. Meredith presented i'll neat
speech. The old couples children,
grandchildren and great-grandchildrer
were represented in presents, and from
John Jack, a sop-in-law in Australia
came a tribute.
The old gentleman's speech was
novelty and ran thus:

Mr.. Hendricks is again coming to the
front. Certain democratic papers seem
to keep his name before the people.
But 1t is Of no avail. The democratic
party, when assembled in national con-
vention, will listen to the voice of Sam

will demand a denomination as his right
and as a matter Of Justice. Moreover,
he will be able to give New York t.

Old John r. Reed and his wife last
evening celebrated the fftieth anniver-
sary of their marriage and were very
happy. Old John is the gas man and
captain Of the supernumeries ut the
Walnut street theatre, where he has
been for 6fty-four years and never was
absent from one performance. He has
one wish, he says, that is dearer to him
than any other he has ever entertained,
and to the end that it may be realized
he has embodied it in his will, and it
reads thus: My head shall be severed
from my body and my body shall be
placed in a vault, but the head shall be
brought to the Walnut street theatre,
there to be used as the skull in Ham
let, ; and l do bequeath my head to the
said Walnut street theatre for that pur-
pose" Old John being asked his rea-
son for making such a bequest, says:
well, ! love the theatre, and when
the bad Hamlets come ;round IN
prompt them on the grave scene. But,
seriously, I want my head to stay on
this stage. where it has, with my hands,
done service for over half a century,
