The pleasing operetta Bo Peep
was rendered by q number of the
little girls and young ladies of Pu-
laski at Antoinette Hall Monday
night, with happy effect. The pro
ceeds were to be used for the bene-
fit of the Episcopal church. I'm
fortunately the entertainment was
not we'll advertised and the attend
ancs was consequently comparative
lV small. All those who did attend
were delighted with the unique
performance. The success of the
entertainment is due to the unre-
hitting labor of Mrs. b. f. Carter
and Miss Maude Edmundson, who
prepared and trained the children,
and to Mrs. G.. A. Pope who ar
ranged the stage and superintendent
the presentation. In view of the
considerable expense in getting up
the costumes, etc, and because the
play is entertaining and the cause
meritorious, we suggest that Bo
Peep be again presented at a more
| favorable time.

New York. January 24-[Special]-An
audience of two thousand people at the
London theatre, on the Bowery tonight,
wore determined not to be panic-strick-
en-. A fire broke out in the furniture
factory in the rear of the theatre, and
two alarms were rung. The smoke pour
ed in through some rear windows and
some one In the audience shouted: "rhe
stage is on fire." Only n few persons,
however, started for the door, and all un-
easlness was dispelled by the appearance
of the manager, who said there was no
danger, but that the audience had better
disperse quietly, as the building directly
in the rear was burning. The audience
yelled for the show to go on, and two
song and dance men appeared. More
smoke rolled in, and the manager stopped
the singers and again requested the au.
dience to leave the building. The peo-
pie were reluctant to stir, and Charles
Reade. an attache Of the theatre, took
up the managers warning and said:
"You had better go out now. There is
no appearance of danger, but anyhow
you had better go rs the smoke is com.
ing in" After repeated urging the au.
dience finally went out.

or pointed out in very brief but thor
ough manner, q lfhe of history, showing
how the world through education and
Christian religion has advanced stop by
step from heathen darkness to Christian
civilization. He began with the bold
defense of the then future European
civilization, made by the ancient Greeks
against the advancing hordes of the
Persian army; then took up the rise of
the Roman civilization. and how, when
it began to decay, was replaced by Teu.
tonic ideas of liberty and somewha. Of
Roman ideas Of government. Next came
period of darkness followed by the re.
formation which continues to grow at
the present IT,. He dwelt at length
upon the future of our nation, and OF
Dakota particularly, of our opportuni.
ties and our duty to ourselves, our fel.

A SOUTHERN FLOOD.

Jacksonville, Tenn, Jan. 24-[Special.l
The water reached the iron rails OF
the railroad bridge to-day, and as it is
still climbing upward it will be over the
rails at midnight, at which time it is
thought and earnestly hoped that it will
at least be on O stand. Additional
weights Of stone and iron have been put
upon the structure to hold it firm to its
place, if possible. The bridge is thir-
teen hundred feet long, of iron and wood
combination, and the vast waste of
waters around it make terrific scene.
Scores of men are constantly going to
and fro on the lookout for drift, to pre-
vent it rushing against and ipjuring the
bridge. At night others are still on the
lookout, and with their lanterns look
like something supernatural. A quan.
tity Of drift is hourly coming down with
the current at terrific rate,
Rats, rails, and logs are in abun.
dance, while dwelling houses of all sizes
and descriptions are constantly floating
by. Three Of the houses caught contain
ed twenty.four live hogs. A one story
log weather boarded house came sailing
down without regard to Its destination.
1t struck the bridge with great force but
did not damage it. 1t was speedily de
molished with axes and permitted to
drift under the bridge piece by piece.
The population of this place is seven
hundred, and the entire town is submerg-
ed. Every family is dislodged from their
dwelling and have found shelter wherev-
er it can be obtained or oontrived. A
large number of the smaller houses are
turned over and many are floating off.
The suffering among the poor classes is
great and will be greater. Many famil-
les are domiciled on boats. having with
them their COWS, pigs and other domestic
animals. On the islands that have been
under cultivation large numbers of cat.
tie have been drowned. The water stands
eighteen inches over the railroad track
approaching Johnsonville.
