A correspondent who has travelled extern
sively through the recently inundated region
of the Mississippi Valley says it is universally
conceded thatth has been no such overflow
before in fifty years, and that the accounts of
tho destruction of live stock and other prop
erty have been in no wise exaggerated. Plan
tations are covered with sand and scooped in
to mighty gullies, or covered with forest of
driftwood and debris to remove which requires
labor equal to that of first clearing. Compen-
sation is found, however, in the large deposit
of silt mud which has impaired new and rich
fertility to the soil, and the planters look for
ward to bountiful crops the coming autumn.

Lieutenant Danenhower, Professor New
comb, the naturalist, Jack Cole, the boat
swain, and Long Sing, the Chinese steward,
survivors of the Jeanette arctic expedition,
arrived in New York on Sunday, in the steam
or Celtic, and were warmly received. The
meeting between Lieut.. Danenhower and his
mother is described as touching in the ex-
treme. The sight of one Of the Lieutenant's
eyes is probably permanently injured, but the
other, he cheerfully says, is as good az ever.
He exonerates Engineer Melville from all
charges of cowardioe or ineficiency in his
search for De Long, and says he would him
self at once return to the ice fields could any

boatswain, is insane from his long suffering
and exposure in the ice and snow. He rec

after speaking to them his mind again wan

the fields of Zoe, struggling with the bitter

News comes from Russia that the Gear is
contemplating important reforms in the ad-
ministration Of his government. Two COM
missions, it is said, are to be instituted, one
to consider the question of central institu-
tons, and the other to study to sec what share
in the administration can be given to the peo-
pie. 1t is also said that manifesto from the
Gar will shortly appear, in which he will an !.
nounce his purpose to sgnalize his coronation
by granting reforms and will declare the
necessity of postponing the celebration for a
year in order to allow time for preparations.
In the mystery which wells and conceals all
events and changes in Russia, it is difficult to
tell how much foundation an announcement
like this may have, but 1t is not impossible
that the Gear has tired of fighting against
fate, and will try, through some recognition
of the rights of the people, to find way out
of the difficulties which beset him and pre-
clude all idea of personal peace or freedom.

A LOng.LOst Son Found.

A romantic episode in everyday life
has come to light in Dedham, Msss.
John Finn resides with his wife and a
portion OF his family in neat cottage,
of which he is the owner, located on or
near the boundary line OF Dsdham and
Boston. Here he has resided for at
least twenty-five years. He has had
three sons, one of whom, John, en-
listed in the army during the slate un.
pleasantness" snd was killed. The
other two sons were named Cor
nelius and William. Cornelius was o
lad about seventeen at the outbreak of
tha War. He suddenly left town, and
his parents hearing nothing of his
whereabouts concluded that he, too,
had enlisted, especially as during the
war they read of one Cornelius Finn,
attached to New York regiment, being
killed. The family mourned for him
as sincerely as they did the death of
John.
Last September William went to Col
orado to settle, hoping to better him
self. While seated in q room in the
western portion of the State one after
noon soon after his arrival there a
miner entered and announced to the
company present that Cornelius Finn
had opened new mine. William, taken
aback somewhat by the name, said that
he had had brother once whose name
was Cornelius Finn. To which the
miner responded by looking at the
stranger and declaring that he resem.
bled Cornelius Finn. the miner, and
might be his brother. Cornelius be-
came greatly agitated upon learning
the name of the stranger and that he
came from Dedlam, and immediately
started for the town.
. The meeting was decidedly affecting.
Cornelius at once recognized William
as his brother, although William, being
younger, had not so strong q recollec-
tion of Cornelius. Mutual explanations
followed and C)rneIus related his
wanderings since leaving home. He
had gone S,uth in 1861 and entered
the army. At the conclusion of the
war he drifted to Colorado, where he
had inter ested himself in mining and
had become wealthy. Regarding his
neglect to send letter home, he ex-
planned that he had read in the papers
of the death of his parents, and had
also the report substantiated by John
Finn, former res dent of Dedham,
whom he met. He had abandoned ali
hope of ever seeing or hearing from his
folks. He at once took William with
him to his mining camp and gave him
an important position. His father has
received check for l,00O.-Boston
