HELENA FLOODED.
The River Sweeping Through the
LeVeess

CINCINNATI, February 16.-A special from
Helena, Ark, says: GA heavy gale prevailed
here this morning, the wind blowing from
the south at the rate Of thirty-fve or forty
miles an hour. During the prevalence
of the wind the waves on the river
were three to four feet high, aud poured
over the levees In front of Commercial Row
at fearful rate. The greatest damage oc-
CURED at the corner of Main and York
streets, and It was with difficulty that the
flow OF water over the levee at that point
could be prevented. Between IL and l
o'clock the city fire bells were vigor-
ously rung, and merchants and others
closed their places of business and hastened
to the scene OF the threatened danger. The
wind soon died away, and by 2 O'Clock this
afternoon the surface of the river was calm.
In the vicinity of the Iron Mountain and
Helena Railroad depot an immense force of
hands was engaged In strengthening the
levee, which is considered to be in a very
weak condition. The railroad track is
tance of several hundred yards,
and grave doubts are entertained as
to its safety. The levee at the upper
end OF the Williamson place, two miles be-
low the city, broke about two o'clock this
afternoon in two places. The breaks ag-
gTegate about three hundred yards in
length, and the water is pouring through at
a rapid rate. 1t is thought that the water
can be kept out of Helena by closing the
embankment of the Midland Railroad which
is now being done under the supervision
of the city authorities. Several small
houses on the outside levee below
the elevator foated off to-day. The levee
about the city is weak, but hope is enter.
tained that the water can be kept back In
that direction. The steamer Golden Rule

landing, being prevented by the high wind

Chicago Special to the Philadelphia Press
An uupreteniious marble front, 53l West

family AS seen at their fireside, Mrs
ScOvlle, the presiding genius of the house

tiOns, pleasant face, with a genial tempers-
ment toward those to whom she is kindly
inclined. Her face is ruddy, the eyes deep
blue and full of expression, and the voice
clear and positive.
Since Mrs Scoville returned from Wash

one save the nearest friends, and saying
nothing which could reach the public. In
deed she has restrained from speaking a. all
about the trial. l. has been said that she
was insane. Her physician aud the mem
bers Of her household could not look with
out some anxiety upon her spiritless de
meanOr and falling health, since the last
days of January. She is now a calm woman,
saddened and sOured by her experience of
the past seven months. The fact that she
is not maniac is perhaps more matter of
surprise than If she were. The ruling be
lief OF Mrs. ScOville's existence is that GU
teau was insane when he fired The fatal shot

firmly believed in his being q crank, even

THE YEARS CEREAL CROPS.
Report of the Agricultural Bureau
Comparisons With Previous
Years.

WASHINGTON, February 16.-The cereals
estimates OF the Department of Agriculture
for the crop Of 1881 are completed, showing
a more general reduction in the yield than
for many years, during the five preceding
years. No one of the grain crops met with
serious disaster. In 1875 the wheat pro.
duct was reduced, while the corn crop
was above the average. In 1874 the reverse
was true, wheat making an average crop,
and corn nearly as bad failure as in 1881.
In 1859 corn was q comparative failure,
while wheat produced more than an average
yield. In no season since the Inauguration
of crop reporting has there been so
general disaster, including corn,
wheat, barley, buckwheat and rye,
oats alone being exempt from loss. The
aggregate corn estimate is 1.194 GIG, 900
bushels, grown upon "a, 262 OBS acres. or

ton Of 81 per cent. from the crop of 1880.

KICKING IN HARNESS.
Malone Requested 90 Go Back to
WashtDgton-.A L veIy Row at
Richmond,

RICHMOND, February 16-In the Senate
to-day Mr.. Newberry, of Bland, one of the
four Readjusters who recently bolted the
caucus Of that party on account of its OBJ
jectionable dictation in the matter of the
election OF Auditor, introduced the fol-
lowing:
"WHEREAs, The people of Virginia have
by their votes shown their confidence in the
ability of their Senators and Representa-
tives to perform their legislative duties
without the interference with or dictation
of Others, and whereas any interference
with or dictation to the General Assembly
by any other officer or Representative of the
State, whether such dictation be direct or
indirect, is a reflection upon its honesty, in
telligence and independence. aud
Whereas, the election of General William
Malone to the United States Senate indi-
Gated a belief that the State of Virginia
needed his services in that body; and,
Whereas. our paid Senator has absented
himself from his seat in the United States
Senate almost continuously from the COM
mencement of its present session until now; !;
and.
Whereas, his protracted absence from
his post of duty and his presence in the
city of Richmond gives plausibility to the
belief that he is here for the purpose of
debating to the Legislature and controlling
its legislation; therefore be 1t
ReSOlOed, That Gen. VIM. Malone be, and
he is hereby, requested to return to and re-
main at his post of duty in the Senate of
the United States, and that a copy of this
preamble and resolution be sent to our paid
Senator by the Clerk of this body.
Quite stir was created by the introduc
tion OF this resolution, and heated debate
ensued.
Mr.. Newberry supported the position he
had taken, and said that he knew that Gen.
Malone was here shaping legislation, and
be wanted the world to know it. His spend
ing of so much time from his duties in
Washington as United States Senator was
unparalleled in the history of Virginia.
Mr.. Riddleberger spoke in vindication of
Mr.. Mahone, and said that the resolution
was nothing more nor less than an invita-
tion to that gentleman to leave his State.
Mr. Wilcox introduced resolution to
the effect that, as it was the impression of
a number of Senators that the resolution
offered by Mr.. Newberry reflected on the
honor of every Senator on the floor, the
Senator from Bland be requested to formu-
late his charges, in order that they may be
promptly met.
Mr.. Lvbrook, another of the boilers, in
referring to General Mahone's presence in
Richmond, said that If he was here to con-
troll legislation he ought to be damned by
every honest man in the State. Further de-
batesOn the subject was interrupted by the
arrival of the hour for consideration of the
special order, which the Senate refused to
postpone,

TWO DIPLOMATIC APPOINT
MENTS.
Possibility that Ex-Judge Taft
Will be sent 20 Berlin and Phkin
tsmeXicO.

The New York World correspondent is in
formed that two important appointments in
the diplomatic service Of the United States
will be made very soon. Il is now expected
hat Judge Alphons0 Taft, of Ohio, viii he
named for Berlin, and that Mr.. J. r G. Pit
sin, OF louisiana, will be named for Mexico.
Judge Taft held two Cabinet positions under
the administration of General Grant and is
very much esteemed in Cincinnati, where be
lives. He is q Federalist of the extreme
type, having introduced into the political
literature of this country the phrase, 'The
peace of the Uuited States," as a stalwart
novelty. But his chief nOtOTiety is not of a
sort to recommend him to the Democrats,
arising as it does out of an assault made by
him on the Catholic church. President Ar
rhur, II is understood, is disposed to lsen
to the suggestions OF leading Democrats in
the disposition of his patronage. He is
man Of the world enough to understand that
Democrats in public life who are men of iu-
telligence and occupy representative posi-
tions are likely to be at least as
safe cOuusellors in his curious and
anomalous position as vehement Re
publlc4ns or either wing OF his own
party President Arthur is waking up to
Mr. Blaine's efforts to capture all the float
ing or independent or merely amiable Demo
Gratis in the two houses. No Demo crat who
values his Standing With his own party will
urge the President to give an important
public position 20 Judge Taft, nor will any
-uch Democrat recommend Mr.. Pikin,
whose friends urge that he be made Minis
ter to Mexico. The Mexican mission is
perhaps as important to this republic as the
German. There are great commercial and
industrial questions to which the United
States and Mexico should give harmonious
and reciprocal attention. The great South
eastern quarter of this country is specially
interested IN commercial intercourse with
Mexico. The importance OF the Mexican
mission is, therefore, Chic fly commercial and
of business character rather tlan political.
Mr.. Pitkin has strong political backing in
his own party, perhaps the strongest with
his administration.
