THE GREAT FLOODS.

The. news of ruin wrought by the
great floods in the lower Valley Of the
Mississippi comes by columns in the
daily press of the country. Once, where
there were bright homes, fair fields and.
thriving crops, only vast lake of
muddy waters is now to be seen. From
where happiness and plenty so recently
prevailed, the story of want and misery
goes out day by day. until the whole
civilized world is moved to sympathy.
Over fifty thousand people have been
made destitute by these floods. Stock
has been neutrality-suspicious. mounds,
only to be swept away by the rising
waters or to die from starvation.
Hundreds of people have embarked on
RATS, or sought place of fancied Sc
curity upon some high piece of ground
and are enduring suffering that they
only can describe. The best estimate Of
thegreat loss and threatened loss in crops
by these floods was given in the Senate
on Wednesday by Mr.. Jones. He said:
G The lands in Mississippi, Arkansas
and Louisiana now under water, or in
daily danger of being submerged, pro-
duced, in 1880, a total Of 750,O63 bales
Of cotton the value Of which, at the
ordinary market rate of S45 per bale,
was S33, ,752, ,835. The area in Louisia-
ma which will be submerged if the le-
wees give way, produced in 1881 crops
amounting in value to over SO, 900, 600
in sugar, over s5,OOO,OOO in molasses,
over S., 100000 in rice. The overflow
now threatenes the total destruction Of
these yalues.'' Mr.. Jones estimated
the cost of levee system which would
protect the whole alluyial country at
not more than SIS, 100000.

Stories of the Floods.

A. H. Baltimore, of Philadelphia,
arrived at Little Rock, Ark, on We'd
nesday, from the overfloWed country.
He said to a Gazette reporter that on
Friday he went around the neighbor-
hood Of Arkansas City on an inspecting
tour. After taking observations, and
while rowing through the woods in
skiff, we came on half submerged log
house. Rowing along side an upper
window we looked in, and discovered a
man, his wife and two children occupy
! ing the place The man on being
questioned said =" We did not expect
a break in the levee. The other morn
ing we awoke and found water all
around the house, and that the floor
was lifted up by pressure. We had no
means Of effecting an escape, as we
live a great distance from the river.
We have no boats, and did not think
that the flood would become so serious.
have been living here ten years, and
have never before suffered any incon-
venience from the water. | did not
Il i would become very deep or we
could have waded out first. | was
fool enough to think the break in the
levee had caused the overflow, and that
other breaks would occur shortly and
distribute the water, but it kept on
rising till we were forced to 60 up
stairs and for two days we have had
nothing to eat The water is gradually
rising, and but for this timely deliver
ance we must have soon been drowned. "
We took this family to land about
ten miles distant and provided food for
them. Going out in a skiff again we
came upon knoll where six or seven
people had taken refuge. They had
been driven from home and, unable to
get out of the bottom, had remained on
the little knoll, although it could be
but temporary relief starvation if
not flood must soon come. An old man
sat near the edge of the water and
looked with inexpressible sadness out
on the great watery waste before him.
He said his name was Mansion, and
that he had lived in the neighbor-
hood for nearly twenty years. !

said. The other night the flood rushed
in upon us. We did not have time
to make any arrangements. / called
to my daughter to follow me, but just
then a swift current struck me and bore
me away. Iheard my daughter scream

waters. Striking tree | seized hold
Of it and held on. Lifting my head
above water called my daughter, but
the mighty rush of waters was my only
response. When daylight came l saw
the country was flooded. swan from
the tree and by accident reached the
knoll Our boat was again brought in
to use. The poor people were nearly
starved, and when food was given them
they ate ravenously. There are hun
dreds Of people who have not yet re-
ceived government aid and their con-
dition is so deplorable that something
must be done. The government, Of
course, is doing everything possible for
the relief of the sufferers, but l tell you
the sight Of few supplies would be
glorious picture to a great many peo-
pie l have recently seen. Every man
says the situation is indescribable. l

DIR. BABcocK, Of Philadelphia, who
started a breeze in the NJ. f. Confer
ence here last week, by charging Sena-
tor Bayard with having been employed
by the liquor men to defeat the local
option bill i'll Delaware, has gotten
himself into tight place and is doing
his best to wriggle out. He denies
everything now except that he "inci-
dentally'' said that the Senator had
been influenced' to write letter
that defeated local option in Delaware.
His Statements grow milder and
milder, as they increase, and if DR..
Babcock is not careful he will accuse
himself of prevaricating. Ministers in
the Conference are quite sure the peram-
bulating gentleman from Philadelphia
used the words sold himself" when
he incidentally referred to Senator
Bayard. Nobody denies that Senator
Bayard is opposed to local option laws,
and in this respect he has company in
many of our warmest temperance advo'
Gates. He has a right to his opinion
and a right to express it, and while
others have a right to their opinion, as
well. they have no right to charge the
Senator with having been improperly in
fuenced to oppose local option because
he wrote private letter expressing his
honest views on the question. The
troubIe with DR.. Babcock seems to be
an Incorporate tongue.

A LARGE number of prominent citizens
of st. Georges hundred sent petition the
other daytO the Levy Court, in which they
protested against allowing Purnal j.
Lynch, collector for that hundred, as de-
linquents all the errors on his list, because,
as they averred, he had refused to receive
the taxes which were offered to him by
some of the men whose names were on
his list of Wilmington Morning
Ne0S.
The "large number Of prominent
citizens of st. Georges hundred" re-
ferred to in the above extract, were Just
twenty negroes who, with assistance,
signed the petition thus =" x" Their
prominence" is probably due to their
owning no property, having few handy
aliases that can be used in time Of need,
and their docility in going up to the
polls and voting the straight Republi-
can ticket when their taxes are paid for
them by somebody bearing power of
attorney with their *" on it. Col
lector Lynch gave everybody ample op-
portunity to pay their taxes.

SERGEANT MAsON's sentence for
shooting at Guiteau is dismissal from
the army and eight years imprison-
ment in the penitentiary. His dismis-
sal from the army seems to be warrant
ed by the facts in the case, as the army
has no use for a man who can't shoot
better than lie can, but the eight years
in the penitentiary is a sentence of un-
necessary severity for his offence. The
legality Of his trial and sentence is like
ly to be discussed in Congress and
tested in the courts. A resolution was
offered in the House on Wednesday,
directing the Judiciary Committee tC
inquire into the matter, and petition
for a writ of habeas corpus has beer
prepared by Mason's counsel.

THE terrible smallpox scourge which
has stricken South Bethlehem, Penn
sylvania, could only have come about
through gross negligence Of the town
authorities. The rapid spreading of
the pest is due to the burning of bed,
on which a smallpox patient had lain,
in the heart of the town. An efficient
board of health would have prevented
this by isolating the first cases, quar-
antining the houses, and attending to
the burning Of smallpox beds. It will
strike most readers that South Bethle-
hem is buying some very dear wit.

4 Stricken Town.


The development of 132 cases OF
smallpox in two days at South Beth
lehem, Pa, with population of 1000,
while the disease is hourly spreading
and nearly one hundred houses are
under strict quarantine, has created the
most intense excitement. The Bishop
Thorpe seminary for young ladies has
been ordered closed by the faculty and
the disease has been pronounced cpl
demic. All day the departing trains
have been filled with students fleeing
in alarm. Telegrams were being con-
stantly received during the day from
many sections of the country ordering
students to leave for home at once.
Only a few cases Of the dread disease
were known to the town authorities on
Sunday, but by Monday morning it
was learned that some sixty cases
existed. Indiscreet persons had burned
lot of bedding in back yard at the
rear of a leading street, and the pols-
onOus fumes were waited into many
windows. In the cleanly section OF the
town the disease broke out with the
greatest violence, and the health au-
| thorities during the whole of Monday
were kept busily at work putting up
yellow flags Of warning at the various
houses.
By Tuesday morning fully one hun
dred cases were reported, and Wednesday
the number reached 132. The public
schools were not closed until Monday.
Prior to that time people freely moved
in the infected districts citizens left
their homes, where as high as five per-
sons were covered with the pustules
and deliberately mingled with all classes
WOrkingmen in the mills did the SAINT
thing. Several doctors, and one, it j;
said. under the influence Of liquor, very
freely went from homes where conflu
ent smallpox existed, and without
changing their clothing freely mingled
with patients not afflicted and will
other families. In this manner tht
plague gained a terrible headway
! Owing to the very sudden onslaught
the Town Council, at special meet
ing, could not possibly provide suitable
police quarantine. Barrels Of tar wer
burned at twenty different points ant
5 special policemen were detailed.
} A delirious patient, named William
Halpen, leaped from his bed. ran seve
raj squares and was finally captured b.
an undertaken. The patient was coy
I cred with continent pustules, and wa
: handcuffed and taken to his room ant
i. fastened there for safety.

THE Wilmington Conference Worker
in its last issue gives the preachers a
little lecture on the evils Of levity and
Joking at their annual Conferences.
The editorial writer of the Worker is
evidently bilious, and doesn't enjoy a
joke.
