CHICAGO FLOODS.

CHICAGO, April 21.-The flood in the
city and throughout the northwest con
tinues to increase; only four cars of stock
arrived at the stock yards this morning,
all receipts having arrived last night. The
roads are compelled to use each others
tracks Unfortunately and patch up lines
of communication as best they may, for
hardly a road that comes into the CITY from
the west, north or south, has track free
from the water. During the night, water
in the river and in the low-lying prairies,
rose five inches, and contrary to expecta
ton and precedent, is still increasing in
volume and hight.
At the Ashland avenue bridge the abutt-
ments have caved in. Their foundations
have washed out and the abuttments have
BEGUN TO ToPPLE.
The water is within an inch of the top
of Fuller street bridge, and it is within a
few inches of the bed of the Chicago s. AL

to stop work by the encroachment of water
on the lower floor, and operations have

Jenny Lind, or Mrs. Goldschmidt,
is living in London, near the Bucking-
ham palace, at place called PimlicO,
When | was last in London | met heI
daughter ut IA photographers the
royal photographer's-and she insisted
upon my seeing her mother. SO
went to see her and had very pleas
ant visit Her marriage was very ro-
mantle. GOldschmidt is Jew. They
studied music together. When she
came to America she sent for him Ia
come as pianist, and he used to play ut
her concerts. 1t was her own arrange
ment, and she paid his salary herself
She thought he was Il grand musician,
and used always to get in one of the
private boxes and applaud his pieces,
Though she was older than he, she
loved him and was bound to marry
him. He renowned his religion in or
der to be her husband. | guess he
thought it was a comfortable place.
She must be worth II 100000. There
was joke about it at the time. The
question was why did he marry
Jenny Lind 2 and the reply. Because
he was gold smit.' - P. I. Barnum.

Millet for Hay.

The millet is favorite crop with
many farmers. 1t is such IL quick
grower that it has been found useful to-
take the place of some early crop that
has failed. Millet can he sown quite
late in the season, and is useful for for
age or hay. The hungarian is the IA
vorlte with many farmers, but the gold
en- millet pleases all who try it. To
cultivate millet, one must have some
acquaintance with its habits and its
laws of growth. 1t needs good, rich,
fine soil turf suits it as well as it does
corn. and my best success has been
from spring plOwed turf and shallow
burrows. Land was never too mellow
for it, and rs it always leaves the land
i'll better condition in that respect than
it finds it, it is labor well invested to
bestow considerable pains upon the
land in the beginning, for if wheat is to
follow land no crop Is Il better one to
precede wheat, no replowing is neces-
sary, as a spring tooth, or sharp drag.
will put the land in excellent condition
for the wheat drill The quantity of
seed needed to an acre is usually about
the third of bushel, but it has been
found that thick sowing is preferable,
say one bushel to the acre, as the stalks
then are not too coarse. Hungarian
millet will be tit forage in six weeks.
1t will not grow until warm weather
comes, so shat it is never an early crop.

Depth Of American Lakes.

There is "A mystery about the Ameri-
can lakes. Lake Erie is only 60 or 20
feet deep. But Lake Ontario is 592
feet deep, 230 feet below the tide-level
of the ocean, or as low as most parts of
the Gulf of st. Lawrence and the
bottom of Lakes Huron, Michigan and
Superior, although the surface is much
higher, are all from their vast depths
on a level with the bottom of Ontario.
Now, as the discharge through the
river Detroit, after allowing for the,
probable portion carried off by evap-
Grafton, does not appear by any means
equal to the quantity of water which
the three upper lakes receive, it has
been eonjeetured that a subterranean
river may run from Lake Superior, by
the Huron, 10 Lake Ontario. This
conjecture is not impossible, and ac-
counts for the singular fact that sal
mon and herring are caught in all the
lakes communicating with the St.
Lawrence, but no others. Barnes
