CHICAGO, February z. = reports from
points throughout the west all tell the same
story of floods and disasters. The rain has
been general and in many places accom-
wires last night IN every direction were
down and many railroads badly washed
out. The results, however, except from
river floods, will not be disastrous, and the
most serious Inconvenience is from the sus-
pension of traffic along the Mississippi
river, which disastrous effect the floods
seem to be increasing.

The State Central Express of last
week exhibits degree of enterprise
not often shown by a country paper.
It publishes a. map Of Louisiana show
ing all the railroads, built, building
or even talked about or dreamed OF
in the State, and all are tributary to
Alexandria. We notice about ten
miles square of the map, with Alex
andria as centre. is marked OF, after
the style of the District OF Columbia,
from which we infer that ere long
the Federal Capitol is to be located
there the square Of ground marked
off evidently being the land that is to
be given the Government by the
State of Rapides. In short we gather
from the map aforesaid that Alexan-
dris is the hub of the universe, the
center of space, the attraction o.
gravitation, the mariners compass
the north pole. the whale and the be-
hemoth of Holy Writ, and, If there II
anything bigger, it is that, too.
