The Flood at Alton.

ALTON, ILL.,, April 29.-The river at this
point has risen three inches in the twenty
four hours ending at o'clock this evening,
but is expected to come to a stand by to-
morrow. A temporary decline is anticl-
pated until the arrival of the flood from the
rivers. Capt. Starr, of the ferryboat sal
tonian," has removed about twenty families
from Dresser's Island and some from Mis-
souri, Point, whose farms had been SUBJ
merged. At this writing the water has Just
reached the height of the food of 1876,
and now stands 26 feet 5 inches above low

Great Men.

Colonel Higginson, who Is sad over
the scarcity Of great men, may find
food for reflection in tho following from
the Springfield Republ,can: One mild
consolation which we can offer to those
who lament the decay Of great men is
that great men are great humbugs.
Sixty years ago the country was ut the
opening of long era Of peace and rap
id internal development. 1t was also
an era of great men, at least 1t
seems so now from q distance, although
Webster, Clay and Calhoun spread over
aperiod OF forty years seems not very
generous distribution. What they did
for tho country would puzzle anybody
TO tell. 1t was discovered in 1850, at
any rate, that they had left one prodi-
gious job undonc. The country with
out single great man" on either
side plunged into tho greatest civil war
Of history. The emergency made COM
mon men great. and men who can be-
come great on an emergency may DO
pardoncd human weakness In more vul-
car moments. One sympathizes some
times with that homely character In tho
old play, who after much disappoint-
ment with tho men OF genius and bril-
liancy pressed upon his attention, bursts
out profanely; al am tired Of your
great men and brilliant fellows. Give
mo regular old-fashionod damned

Cheap Floor Paint.

Soak glue over night in cold water,
boil it to Jelly, mix yellow ochre and
whiting with II little water TO u light
tint, and stir it into the glue, and apply
warm to the floor, which must DO free
from grease. 1t quickly dries, when it
needs coating of boiled linsced oil
This Is not expensive, rs half q pound
OF the cheapest quality of glue will do,
costing twenty-five cents pound, and
in two quarts of water will cover floor
fourteen feet square. II must be boiled
IN the water in which IL was soaked.
The ochrc is five cents a pound, and q
quart of oil costing twenty cents should
be enough for the second coat, which
will dry over night. 1t is best applied
early in the afternoon, some day when
an early dinner allows the kitchen to be
shut up till next morning. -A&'t1ey

Irish "Smartness,"

London Society.
The respect which the Irish have for
their priests does not prevent them
from enjoying a joke at their expense.
remember hearing of an instance of q
poor girl going to priest to ask him to
unite her to the boy of her choice. The
holy man demanded two sovereigns for
the accommodation The girl pleaded
hard that she had not so much money;
but he was memorable; two sovereigns
he must have
She was leaving the house in the
greatest espondcncy, when her eve
lighted on the priests cloak hanging
on n peg in the hall A bright Thought
occurred to her quick Irish mind: She
took it down and vanished. Half an
hour later she returned with the money,
accompanied by her beloved Pat. The
priest was now all smiles. performed
the service with great goodwill, and be-
slowed on the happy couple hearty

Kathleen dropped a curtsy, thanked
him for his Kindness, and presented
him with the pawnticket that he might
TcCONeT HIS CLOAK.
The convenient manner in which
priests modify the penalties for oflenses
is exempliiied in the following story: A
poor man came TO confession, and what
he had to tell was that he had stolen u
pig.

parish priest.
"Egad, your reverence, it was an ILL

"Well, WELL that makes difference.
1t is not of much consequences he could

Thanks, your reverence; III do

as he was going out, "whom did the pig
