THE TERRIBLE FLOODS,

SetWaukee Sentinel, 4th Inst:-Mr. j.
0. Ihayer. of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore
i Western Railway, who has been prom
NEATLY identified with the movement
recfltly started by the residents of the
toEas along the Fox River tos secure re.
liei from the terrible floods, which have
preisiiled since the heavy rains,
retiTned yesterday. Mr.. Ihayer was
chairman of the indignation meeting to
protest against the raised dam of Neenah
Water-Power Company, which, it is al.
legod, is the source of all the trouble.
The gentleman was interviewed by the
Sentinel reporter in regard to the state
of affairs. He stated the tracks of the
Lake Shore Road leading into Oshkosh
are covered to depth of three and one
haisHeet, and at Algoma, small place
adjRant to Oshkosh, the switch frames,
wh'de are nearly four feet high. are en-
tlrely submerged, while the lower por-
ton of Oshkosh proper, in the vicinity
OF the American Express Office, the wa
Ter sovers the main street to the depth
of afx inches, and the Nicholson pave
meg on the street has foated away. In
a p rnriary sense Oshkosh will probably
suftsr most of the food, as all the mills
ands manufactures along the river are
ciofd up, throwing about 1000 men tenn
pottrily out Of employment, but the res
ideNs of Fond du Lac will suffer the
gref Pest hardships. Nearly one half of
thlstown is under water, which is from
SIX inches to two feet deep, and in the
lower portions, where the poorer class
of people live, about two-thirds of the
houses have been flooded, and in many
cases the occupants were compelled to
vacate them. Much suffering already
exists among this class of people, and
unless speedy relief is given, their con-
dition will be most deplorable. The
water at Fond duLac has probably reach
ed its maximum height. It is estimated
thas 900 square miles of water will have
to fow over the Neenah dam before any
relief is afforded, and with the water at
its present stage, unless a new channel
is formed, it will require long time to
afford the relief. The people have now
coLle to the conclusion that the only
means of relief now open to them is to
Gpen the gates of the Menasha canal,
and for this purpose Col. Houston is
making surveys on the spot, to see if the
rush OF water will wash out the bsnks of
the canal. The problem now is: GLOW

Competent engineers say that with the
Menesha canal gates open, no danger of

utmost excitement prevails along the
towns below NeeDah, especially at Apple
ton, as fears are entertained the Neenah
dam will go out. In that event the dam.
age will be simply enormous. The vol
ume of water would be SO great that every
town and village between Neenah and
Green Bay would be swept away. Green
Bay would also be in much danger. The
places threatened by the existing floods
are Neenah, Menasha, Appleton, Little
Chute. Kaukauna, Wrightstown, Depere
and Green Bay.

OBJECTS OF INTEREST IN INDIA.
One of the principal objects of inter-

One OF the principal objects of inter-
est III India to the stranger is the temple
| OF worship. You can enter and witness
their worship of the various idols with
which their temples are adorned, and to
which they are consecrated, by paying a
trifie to the usher. He will then take
you to every point of interest, and ex-
plain to you the meaning OF what other
wise would seem senseless devotion.
He will show you also the other temples
and instruct you in their peculiarities and
the weird legends concerning them.
Near one of the temples is the old car of
Juggernaut, upon which the poor victims
of long ago used to be broken, and under
whose ponderous wheels many wretch
ed victim has been crushed to appease
the anger of the gods.
Among the other points of interest is
the river Ganges, worshiped as sacred by
the natives, and called by them the god
dess Gavga. Pilgrimages are made to
particular places on its shores, ablutions
performed, the dying. exposed, the dead
thrown in, infants frequently sacrificed.
This river is replete with interest from
IFS source to its mouth. Rising as it does
among hills of eternal snow in the Hima-
laya mountains, and sweeping down
distance of 1900 miles to the Bav of
Bengal, it forms the most extensive delta
in the whole world, making and unmak-
ing yearly thousands of acres of ground.
According to an ancient legend this delta
was formed by the god silva, who, squeez-
ing the water through his hair, let it run
down through his fingers, thus forming
the innumerable streams that divide the
delta. This delta begins at distance of
800 miles from the sea, forming perfect
wilderness of creeks and rivers, and dur
ing the wet season is almost entirely in
undated. I5 is navigable from Hurdwas.
but above Cawnpore only for river crafts
and passenger steamers, but below ALA
habad for large vessels. a large amount
OF traffic is conducted on its waters. The
Island of Elephants derives its name from
the gigantic stone figure of an elephant
which formerly stood upon its shores.
1t is situated in the harbor of Bombay.
seven miles from the city, and contains
several very remarkable ancient cave
temples, cut in the solid rock and adorn-
ed with numerous sculptured figures of
the Hindoo mythology. The largest of
