Unselfsh.

The late Dr. Gannett, of Boston, was
noted during his long pastorate for his
kindness to the poor and the sick. It is
said that no poor family who sought him
ever failed to receive his tender SYM
pathy and substantial aid. If there
were sick ones to be comforted, his
words fitted their needs, for instinct and
experience suggested the right word at
} the right time.
A characteristic incident, illustrative
of his kind heart, happened while the
doctor was travelling in Europe to re-
cover the health undermined by excess
i've work at home. On the Continent
he fell in with a young American, and
they kept company for several days.
AT length, they parted in France, DR..
Gannett pushing south toward Italy, and
his companion, who was not well, keep
ing his room.
81 What was his surprise, on the evening
of the second day, to see Dr. Gannett
entering his room, and to hear the
CHEEKY voice: Elbow are you? / could
not feel easy in travel, and came back to
cheer you and take care Of YOU 's /.
. Tears came to the young mans eyes.
He felt that he had found a friend, in
deed; and DR.. Gannett had no more sin
cere. and devoted admirer in his large
circle Of parishioners. and personal
friends than this young stranger, whom,
by chance, he had met in foreign land.

H. Robertson, of Fayette, Mo-, writes that he
has passed over portion of the overlooked
districts, and that no pen can describe the
scene of desolation. He says the people of
the eastern portion of Ashley, Desha and
Chicot Counties have abandoned their homes
and fed to Gum Ridge. All the bottom lands
are inundated, houses swept away, stock
drowned, business men ruined and the coun-
try devastated. A number Of people have
been drowned. The damage in the sections
named is estimated at a million dollars.
GREESvILLE, Miss, March 6.
Greenville is secure from any possible over
flow, though the low points were at one time
threatened. Refugees from the overtlowed
plantations are congregating here, and our re-
sources to feed and shelter them will be Sc
yerely taxed. So far the relief agents have
not communicated with our local authorities.
Our Board of Supervisors have asked that
some of the Government rations be sent here.
The need is immediate. The Sheriff of Boil
var County has lodged his prisoners in the
jail here. He reports very few plantations in
his county with even strip OF land above the
water. Consequently the loss of stock there
will be almost total. The levees were thronged
with negroes and stock, whose condition is
most deplorable As its extent becomes
known, this calamity begins to appal. A tax
sufficient to rebuild the leyees above would
be almost insupportable. But that is
only an item The laborers have lost
their stock and moyables, and are in a

Swearing a Chinamali.

In the Police Court, yesterday after
noon, the case of Vaudeville against
Fong Lei was up before Mr.. Dugas. 1t
need scarcely be said that Fong Lei is a
Chinaman and laundryman- Mande-
vile owned the cabin on St. Catherine
street where Lei was wont some four
weeks ago to renovate the linen Of his
customers, Vaudeville swore that Lei
had damaged his property by destroy
ing a counter, painted brown, which was
in the shop. The plaintiff and his wit
nesses made out their case, and then the
defense was called. Song Long was
the first witness, dark-eyed, cheerful
Celestial, who certainly looked as if he
had his wits about him. s'What is
your namep'' said the clerk. ..Song
Long, "What are your said the
Magistrate. ''Me Chinaman.'' "No,
what do you believe imp '.Me believe

ing son OF Confucius s.How do you

half-lnjured tone, from the stand, The
Court then remembered having heard
of a Chinaman who was sworn by get
ting ON his knees and breaking a sau-
Ger. ''Do you swear on saucer?"
quoth one OF the clerks. 'sNo, me
don't, +" responded Song, and as the aw-
full knoWingness Of the clerical inquisi-
tor thrust itself upon his mind, he
queried: You know that, ehs" A
pause ensued, and the Court gathered
strength for fresh attack? ssAre you

not what you say. What you talkee

upon. the interrogation. ssWhat religion

syIlables of pure Chinese rolled from
thewitness' mouth as hepronounced the
name Of his birthplace. The Court at
last came to the conclusion that he could
swear by crossing his hands on his heart,
and the ceremony was accordingly
done in that way. The Celestials were
finally refnanded until some future day.
