Special to the Appeal
HELENA, February 23.--The situation is
at present unchanged. The river is declin-
ing about one inch in twenty four hours, and
will continue falling till Monday. The peo-
pie are hopeful, but apprehensive for the
future on account of the news from the upper
Rivera "A move has been made and active
steps will be taken to strengthen the levee
protecting the city against the prospective
rise, which is expected to exceed by twelve
inches that Just passed. The people Of the
St. Francis river bottoms are reported in the
main destitute, and government aid will
probably be ssked for, but this will be done
only as a last resort. The Midland railway
continues running in regular form,
and unless eighteen inches more
water comes there will be no
suspension on this line. The water through
the break below the city continues to pour in,
but without any perceptible effect upon the
present stage in the overlooked district. In
the event of fair weather for the next ten
days no further damage is apprehended, the
alarming reports from above to the contrary
Notwithstanding. We have fifteen days in
which to prepare for the rise in prospect, and
it is confidently believed that when the next
rise comes we shall be impregnably fortified.
The city, though partially under water, is
Aourishing, and our people are compare
lively happy and enthusiastically buoyant
for the future.

AID for the Complexion.
From the London Hour.

American ladies will prick up tn cir
ears at the information that serkys is plant
much in use among the women of eastern
Europe in order to enhance and retain their
charms. Its properties have been known TO
Turkish women ever since the introduction
of coffee into Europe. 1t is said TO be a lit
tie herb which grows at the foot of the noun
tains OF Lebanon. A spoonful of it in
breakfast-cupful of boiling water
forms a delicious infusion which may
be drank with milk and sugar like
ordinary tea, but is far more pleasant to the
taste. Its great recommendation to the fair
sex Is that it has the virtue OF retardiDg the
ravages of sge on all those who drink it
daily. DIR. Paul Lucas, phi gzician to Louis
XIV, mentions it in his travels. He relates
that, having been called upon to attend the
widew OF Hassan Pssha, he was surprised to
see her waited upon by two young women of
apparently twenty-five or thirty years of
age, whereas he knew that It was customary
for her to be waited upon by old women

only. On expressing his surprise, he was
told that both those young ladies were
over sixty years of age, and that they
owed their youthful appearance % the album
dance of serkys tea which they drank. DIR.
Lucas Immediately asked for some of this
plant, snd took it with him to France It is
supposed that he made present of it to Nj
non de PEnclos, and that it was the mysteri-
GUS secret of her extraordinarily youthful
appearance when old. There is great run
on this article in Paris Just now, for the doc
tors have discovered that it purifes the
blood and thus preserves the skin fair and
transparent as in early youth. 1t also makes
the flesh firm and is particularly con-
ducive to full bust. About three years ago
it was reintroduced into Paris by French
doctor who had travelled in the East. In
Turkey, where il costs but little, it is often
mixed with the water of the bath. Taken,
however, in the same manner as tea, twice
day, its effects are said to be certain. 1t costs
ST. an ounce, but thimbleful is enough for
a breakfast cupful OF the infusion.

lower river country TO merchants in this city
state that great damage has already been
done to the plantations along the river.
Much more is expected and great suffering

need.
Governor Lowry, of Mississippi, has sent

Railroad travel has not been fully resumed
from this point yet, but will be in all proba-
bility within twenty-four hours The roads
in the most crippled condition now are the
Missouri Pacific, Wabash western division,
and the Louisville and Nashville, but pairs

they will soon be in running order again.

ANXIOUS anticipations of coming trouble
in the East are continually cropping out.
The Mohammedan populations are more and
more fixing their attention on the man they
regard as fulfilling what Mokammed prophe-
sIed of deliverer that, in a time of danger,
would lead the faithful. What this deliverer
is to do may be judged of by the prophesy
that says: "He shall make the streets of
Mecca run red with the blood Of both the
infdels and the backsliders from the faith"
of Islam. A Mohammedsn uprising in Asia
appears probable, and such a movement
would bring danger to the sultan Of Turkey,
