The Rev. DIR. Hepworth defines the
faith cure as chat religious idiosyn-
Grassy" and says it is "the product of
the emotional nature when it is swayed
by an inexplicable mysticism and be-
comes Indifferent to such low order of
materials as facts and law" He de.
votes an Independent article to con-
sideration of recent cures claimed as
miracles, and concludes Suppose my
father to be attacked with typhoid
fever, shall / resort to those means of
recovery which have been providential-
ly afforded and which the educated
physician is acquainted with, or shall
send for the officers of the church to
make a prayer? think I ought to do
both; but especially to send for the
doctor. The messenger who does my
errand should go to the physician first
and to the minister afterward. If either
of them is out of town, L earnestly hope
it may not be the doctor. If ignore
the agency of God in cure of disease, l
am an infdel; and if Iignore the fact
that the Lord has provided for just such
an emergency in the killed physician,
l am without that ordinary common
sense which the Lord expects me
to use."

FAR FROM ABATING.
The River Falling Very Slowly at Hell
ena-Great Apprehension About
the Overflow Passing on
In Time for Planting this SeasOn-In-
creased Suffering Reported in
Every Direction.

Special to the Appeal
HELENA, March 15.-The river here is not
falling as rapidly was expected, having de-
clined only one and half inches the past
twenty four hours, ending at o'clock pm.
The overflow falls very slowly, causing no
little apprehension among planters about
it, passing of in time for planting this
season. Rain is pouring down in torrents as
| write, and lurid flashes Of lightning, in
quick succession, appear in every quarter Of
the horizon. The gloomy outlook is intensi-
fed by reports of increased suffering in
every direction, together with meagtr
provisions and facilities for relief. Every
up boat is laden with needy refugees and
starving stock, and yet the end is not near.
OF the $4,000 raiions received here, 5000
people have been recipients. The modicum
left will not suffice to carry the hungry
hend through another week. 1t is
apparent that private assistance will
have to be asked for to carry the
thousands OF suffering, starving people
OF the Mississippi valley over the food,
which is far from abating. The suffering is
not alone confined to the overfowed districts,
as hundreds in the uplands hitherto depend
ent upon their supply merchants are aban-
doned, and are crying in vain for assistance
to those who can't give it, and for which no
provision has been made. Our ways and
means are both exhausted. The only re-
course is our national treasury, or, what
would be more proper, private contributions
from those able to contribute. The city
proper is amply provided for, and will take
care CT herself, but the country contiguous
is dep!oIably needy.

New ORLEANS, March Is. About a
month ago the first crevasse in louisiana
this season occurred in the levee OF Concordia
parish, near the Tensas line. 1t was then
stated that the water from this crevasse
would be reinforced by the water from
Ouachita and submerge Concordia and Ten
sas parishes. Monday four crevasses were
reported in the levees along the river front
of Tensas parish within distance of fifteen
miles, which were going to inundate Con-
cordia ard Tensas parishes. To-day anoth-
er crevasse has occurred which report states
will submerge Tensas and Concordia. Many
similar cases may be mentioned where the
rapidly encroaching food waters have caused
exagg erations of the reported damage by the
overflow.
The Western Baton Rouge levees, covering
as they do a number of the principal sugar
parishes in the State, continue to be subject
to great interest and anxiety. A dispatch
from c. j. Barrow, president OF the police
Jury, West Baton Rouge, says: ave are all
right SO far, and can hold the fort. Our ex-
penses are over $1,000 per day, and by to night
the funds will be exhausted. The river still
continues to encroach upon us at the rate OF
oue and half inches in twenty-four hours"
Captain F. z. Leathers telegraphs from
Port Gibson, Miss, as follows: Ship bayou
levee, twenty-five feet high, broke this morn
ing. Tuis will run water broadcast over
Tensas aud Concordia. These people require
immediate assistance, or there will be great
suffering"
Large quantities of government rations
have been shipped to sufferers on the Misss-
sippi river as far up Delta; also, to those
on the Atchafsyals and Bayou Courthlsau,
and Ouachit4,,, Black and Beuf rivers. The
committee have applications for rations for
between 2O00 and 5000 families. Fifteen
days supply will be sent them by the first
outward boats. All the levees have to be
raised. The river is now within three inches
of the high water of 1874. The levee at
Claremont broke last night, and the place is
going under slowly. All the large Levels
across the bayous are in a dangerous con-
dition. The low ones are being raised and
