A special from Fort Stockton, Texas,
says: MajorR. Lawrence and his corps
of Texas and Pacific Railroad engineers,
after number of days of extreme suf-
fering from thirst in the White Sand
Hills, arrived at the Peeos- River with
out loss of life Some stock and wag
ons were abandoned at different inter
valS for 40 miles. Those first arriving
went in search of the others. A num-
Der, when found, were craSed by thirst
and had entirely stripped themselves.
They were found within 100 yards of
river, drinking the blood Of animals
they had slain,. and some of them' were
almost blind. Arriving at the river,
they plunged in head foremost, and but
for the bravery of the more experienced
large number would have persisted.
By the breaking of the Suy levee at
Hannibal Missouri immense loss of pro-
perty, and some life has resulted. A
slight idea of the damage may be
gained from the fact that an, extent of
country forty miles wide was protected
by the embankment. This is probably
the richest farming land IN the State,
and as consequence the yield of grain
this year would have been enormous
The break is half mile wide. The
water is spreading rapidly. Many
families barely escaped with their lives
Mile after mile of'ripe harvest fields are
submerged. The loss will reach hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.
At kennebunk, Maine, Mrs. Sylves-
ter Chick took her only son, eight years
old, to the river yesterday, undressed
him and held him under the water
until he was drowned. She then at
tempted to drown herself.

RENO SAVINGS BANK.

The Savings Bank business appears
to be profitable to those engaged it,
though the depositors sometimes suffer.
According to,the Gazette, the Reno i'm
stitution which collapsed week ago
was Incorporated April 29th, 1876, with
capital stock of one hundred. shares,
of the par value Of 81, 900 EACH. Thirty
per cent. of this stock was paid in, and
the bank was managed SO adroitly that
it paid three per cent per month, divi-
dends up to last December. In Janu-
airy it paid dividend of two per cent,
which was the last declared, and now
it is bankrupt. The stockholders who
went in four years ago with an aggre-
gate capital of $50, 900 drew out in divi-
dends $44, 700! The Gazette says the
profits must have been. 81, 800 per
month to, justify the dividends, and the
Directors must have wondered at the
brilliant financial achievement of their
manager, or else suspected that the
dividends were paid out of deposits.
There is. DO way of telling how the
bank stands until the books and papers
are thoroughly examined, but the Ca
zetts is of the opinion that the costs OF
suits and attachments will eat up a very
large amount of the debts before they
are collected.

THE EXPERIENCE.

Jerry Schooling, late Democratic
State Treasurer of Nevada, was in San
Francisco one time with thousands OF
dollars Of State money in his possession,
but not dollar of his own in his peck
cts. Rather than use money belonging
to the State, he borrowed money to
pay his way home. His successor does
not believe in such scrupulous exactness,
or in the Schooling principle, of not
using the public funds for private pur-
poses. On the contrary, according to
his own admissions, he deposited State
funds in the Reno Savings Bank, in
which he was interested, to enable the
bank to pay dividends of three pei
cent. per month on capital belonging
to the people. To reverse the language
of the Carson Appeal in recent article
on the State Treasurer, "Who Goes not
want q change OF administration"

the lady discovered remarkable
change coming over the feathers of
her companion. Her face began to as
sumo a notified appearance, black and
white. She was asked if she was sick
and replied in the negative, but her
face became so discolored that her
friends insisted on sending for ply
sician, who on examining his patient,
smiled and asked what kind of paint
she used. The lady tartly replied that
she did not paint, but only used pow
der. The physician attributed the dis
celebration to the powder, and it is sup
posed that it contained some chemical
that changed color on contact with the
sulphurous vapor of the spring.-Ro-

that most of the losses are said to have oc.
Cured during what is euphemistically
termed retreat, is strong proof that the
