-DENs DESTROYED-REAR PORTION OF THE
CITY SUBMERGED, &C.
NEW ORLEANS, February 9-The water
from the lake is gradually rising and in
crea>ing the area OF overflow north OF the
new canal. The water has reached Frank
lin street, the entire section wes' being
submerged between the new canal and
BAYOU ST. John. The water now covers
all west OF Prleur street except strip
OF a few squares on either side OF CANAL
street north OF Bayou 81. John and the
old basin. The water covers almost
the entire section. west OF Claiborne
street as far down as ElySian.Iields
street. Az vegetable gardens in the
rear OF the city have been Destroyed
and some loss OF stock reported. bri no cs-
innate can he made for the damage done by
the over Cow, and even greater damage
seems probable. since the water continues
rising. The Fairgrounds are eStirely sub
merged. The Clalb0rne-street cars are oDD
running 10 the bridge on the old basin, the
balance OF the road being impossible. The
greatest difficulty Is experienced by The III
habitants OF the overlooked districts IN Sc
Touring provisions. The districts embrace
about five hundred thickIy-setlled squares.
The damage along the Louisville and Nash
willie and New Orleans and Mobile RAILROADS
is very great aud |. will probably be many
days before trains can pass over the roac

DURING the past week the births in
this city numbered 422 and the deaths
$50. This discrepancy is rather great
er than the average, but there is al
ways marked difference between the
two figures. The Metropolis, like all
large cities, is an enormous consumer
Of human life, and would soon become
depopulated if it did not constantly
draw upon the rural districts for sup
ply of fresh blood. The deaths in a
year exceed the births by about 10000.
Looked at in one light the city is an
Unsuitable devourer of vital forces and
demands from the country 10000 hu-
man beings every year to appease its
appetite. Its victims are sacrificed in
a thousand ways, by overwork in the
strife for bread, by overworry in the
mad struggle for gain, by poisoned air,
unwholesome food, vile drinks and
adulterated drugs, and perhaps most
of all by the great friction, tension
and competition of city life, wearing
out the human machine too rapidly
and causing it to break down prema-
turely. Civilization has yet to solve
the problem Of making the city as
healthy as the country.-N. Y. Taib-
2tpe.

back; but before he could move, it
made one rush at him and knocked
him clean over into the stream that
runs below. The fall and the fright
took away his breath; and between
the terror and the wetting, he got
such scare that he never ventured
near that .churchyard again after
nightfall. He said it was dangerous
thing to play at ghosts, for no one
knew how near the ghosts themselves
might be, nor how angry with any
one who dared to play pranks in
haunted places"
1T was a strange story" we said;
but our host thought it stranger still
when my father related his share in
the adventure. The coincidence was
certainly curious one, and affords a
specimen of the kind of foundation on
which many popular and well au-
thenticated" ghost story may be built.
