MISCELLANEOUS.

THE rainfall at st. Louis during the
recent storm was over six inches. There
| were ten landslides on the Missouri Pacific
| Road, and an Iron Mountain freight train
| was caught at Cliff Cave. Alton, Indianap-
oils, and Burlington tracks were submerged
near Mitchell. The ferry docks at St.
Charles were swept away, as also the tenn
| porary trusses OF the bridge. The whole
country about Alton was flooded, cutting off
railway communication and doing incalcula-
BILE damage. Dispatches from north, south,
east, and west represent rivers on the ram
page and threatening general washout.
A COMMITTEE appointed by ex-Con-
federate soldiers residing in Cincinnati and
vicinity called on Mrs. Garfield, at Cleveland,
on Washington's Birthday, bearing a
memorial tribute to James A. Garfield, in
the form Of eulogistic and sympathetic reso-
lutioRs engrossed on parchment and framed
in yari-colored Tennessee marble, highly
polished, cut from a single block, two
feet square, with the United States coat.of
arms in Mexican onyx inlaid at each corner.
Major c. a.. Withers, formerly 2Adjutant-
General OF Gen. j. III. Morgan's staff, said:
"Itis with mingled feelings of qualification
and regret that I have the honor, madam, Of
presenting to you this memorial of the ex-
Confederate soldiers OF Cincinnati. It is
gratifying that we can truthfully and feel
ingly unite our voices in commentator of
the lamented dead with those of the many
thousands of a common people. The occa-
sion which called for such sentiments is
painful in its recollections, and as fully de-
plored by the people of the South as by those
of any other section. The unanimity with
which these resolutions were passed and the
expressions conveyed therein speak more
than any words of mine, and you can rest
assured, madam, that in them is voiced the
tribute Of all old soldiers OF the South to the
sterling worth of the late President" Mrs.
Garfield with great effort repressed her
emotion and briefly expressed her gratitude,
while the aged mother Of the late President
wept violently.
THE Herzegoyinians recently defeated
Austrian troops in several minor engage
ments. Three insurgent divisions surround
ed Fiatcha and demanded its surrender. An
attack was made on Mottia, in which ten
women and six children were killed, but the
insurgents were driven away.

COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY.

WILLIAM c. CLARKE, formerly at the
head of the wholesale paper house of Clarke,
Friend, Fox & Co., has fed from Chicago to
New York. 1t appears he bought out the
other interests in the firm with promissory
notes, and speedily transferred the stock to
rival dealers for $4,000, OF which $4,000
was in cash, or good commercial paper.
Complaints by creditors to the original
house caused an investigation by Friend
and Fox, which showed that $3.50, 200 of the
firm s paper was still afloat. OF this amount
$4,000 was promptly paid, and the liabili
ties will be honestly met.
