WAITING FOR DEATH.


LITTLE Rock, Ark, March e.-M.
G.. Harris. who was sent down toDesha
county by Governor Churchville to aid
In distributing government supplies to
persons rendered destitute by the over
flow, returnde yesterday. In an inter-
view with reporter he said that along
the river front to Desha county, 100
miles in length, the destitution is be-
yond description. The water has reach
ed an unprecedent height. scarcely
farm house or residence on the bottom
has escaped the inundation. The peo-
pie have been compelled to build false
floors in their houses, or to seek safety
on higher lands, where, in rudely con-
structed camps of brush, boughs and
cane, they SIT and wait for starvation
and death. 1t is appalling, and with
out government aid, literally and quick
" bestowed, there 10 no telling where it
will end. Many persons have been feed
ing on the carcasses Of drowned cattle.
Personal investigation, as well as the
assurances of respectable gentlemen,
convinces Mr.. Harris that not less
than six hundred families, averaging
six persons to each, in Desha county
alone, are dependent upon the charity
of tin government. He believed it to
be DO exaggeratlon to place thu gross
number, old and young, at $500. The
indications point to long continuance
of the overflow, the most sanguine
hardly daring to hope for its subsidence
before May.
ADDITIONAL GOVERNMENT AID.
WAsHINGTON, March 9.-The house
committee on appropriations considered
this morning the proposition to vote
additional relief to the sufferers by the
floods on the Mississippi river. Gener-
al Floyd King, OF Louisiana, and sew
eral other gentlemen from the flooded
districts, addressed the committee and
described the suffering existing in con-
sequence Of the overflow of the river.

The Conkling Scandal.

1t may be very gratifying to Mr.
Conkling to be able to say that he
twice declined the honor of All appoint
ment to tue Supreme Court of the
United States; it may be very pleasant
also to Mr. Arthur to be able to COM
pliment his friends by honorable ap-
peintments; but Mr.. Arthur is doing
himself no credit and the country no
service by using the power Of his Office
for the private gratifycation Of his
friends and the payment of his person
al obligations.
Mr. Arthur is too prudent man to
fall into the error of appointing person.
al favorites to Office without regard TO
their fitness. The nominations he has
made have been Of men we'll flied to the
places for which they were designated,
and had they been made in good faith
they would not have challenged criti-
cism. But Mr.. Arthur did not nomi-
nate Mr.. Conkling to the Supreme
Court because he wished to fill the va
cancy worthily ani thought him the
best man for the position, but because
lie wished to compliment and serve his
political chief. 1t would have been
very easy for him to ascertain whether
Mr.. Conkling would accept this ap-
pointment. Indeed, it was his duty to
do SO, and either he was very careless
of official dignity or else he deliberate
ly designed to use the most important
appointment then within his gift to
further the personal ends Of a disap-
pointed politician. Under the circum-
stances Mr.. Conkling's appointment
was an affrOnt to the country and an
insult to the United States Senate that
would have been resented were that
body capable of maintaining its own
dignity.
1t is not the frst time that the Presi-
dent committed this offense. He did
pecisely the same thing in the case Of
Ex-Governor Morgan. lie either knew
or could have known that Morgan
would not become Secretary of the
F, Treasury. and his nomination could
have no other purpose than to pay off
his own obligations and CRAFTY his
friend. For the nomination of Conk-
ling there is even less excuse. If the
resident did not know he could have

William Black, the novelist, says that
he never had any systematised educa-

The manner of Gen. Skobeleff's death
is the subject of conflicting reports.

stabbed, and there is also a rumor that
he was assassinated at the instance Of

say that when he undertook the defense
of the star route men he fully believed
in their innocence. But the more re-

determined, as SOC as he is done with
the case, to quit the law business en-
tirely, and devote all his time to lectur-

A Kansas story is about three mice
that rolled an egg down a stairway
without breakage. One held the egg
in a close embrace, while the others
rolled him like a ball from one step to
the other, always managing to let him
strike on his back, thus protecting the
egg. The man who says he saw it does
not hesitate to add that they rolled the
egg to a small hollow in the floor which
steadied it while they cut through the
shell with their teeth and emptied it.
