Arkansas City is like new Venice.
The floods cover the floor of every

depth of from six inches to four feet,
with one solitary exception, the house
of widow lady, which is built nine

RUINoUs TO THE PLANTERS.
Perhaps the most serious breaks, as
regards the planting interest, occurred
at Bolivar, Miss One crevasse above
Old Bolivar is 200 yards wide, and an
other below is about fifty feet wide.
The water rushing over the largest
break looked like colossal mill dam
and roared like thunder Here, once
again, the people were disheartened
and utterly unable to work. The levee
broke about the same hour as at Riv-
erton, and the consequences were SINH
lar as regards the town, though more
serious to the planting interest. Sey-
eral people had narrow escapes. No
lives were lost so far as could be learn
ed. The people here, as elsewhere
along the river, seem to be more at
case in dugout than in the cabin of
a steamboat, and unless absolutely
reckless, or inexcusably careless, they
are not likely to lose their lives by the
flood. The Baggot levee, as it is call
ed, on one side of Bolivar is twenty
feet high, and the main levee where
the wide break occurred is five feet
higher. The second break spoken of is
just below Judge Clark's place.

Wayne county farmer who is much annoyed
by tramps came TO Detroit a while ago and had
half dozen signs of "Smalpox-Bewarel ="
painted to post up on his house and grounds.
Although he had one on either side Of his gate
they had not been up two hours when a rover
passed between them and knocked on the door
and asked for food
Didn't you see those signs on the gate?" de-
manded the farmer.
"Yes'r; but can't read"
The next one said he was near-sighted and
thought the signs read ''for sale" The third
had had smallpox and was willing to nurse the
family. The fourth had been vaccinated and
was reckless. The fifth had a remedy to sell.
and the sixth, after getting away with cold
bite. turned TO his benefactor and said:

The recent publication bs Dr. Stark of statls-
tics showing the relative mortality among peo-
pie who are married and people who are not
makes strong argument In favor Of marriage
for people who want their days to be long in
the land. OF course, in contrasting the number
Of deaths among the unmarried with the num-
Der among the married fairness to the former
class requires that the death rate among chill
dren and youths should not be regarded. DIR.
Stark In his tables begins the comparison with
people who have lived a score OF years.
and are therefore supposed to be eligi-
BILE for matrimony. 1t seems almost start
ling to be told that beginning at the age OF
twenty years, the man who passes the rest Of
his life in the marriage state is likely TO live
twice as long as the man who lives q celibate;
but the classification Of vast amount OF statis-
tics shows that the term of life of the man who
married shortly after 20 years OF age would be
60. years, and OF tie unmarried man only 40.2
thus making the greater probability of life for
the former 1915 years. The statistics are not SO
favorable to married women. for they encounter
the risks of maternity which are not slight;
but with these added risks they live longer on
an average than unmarried women.
If DIR. Starks figures are correct. marriage Is
good form OF insurance against death. The
advantages being so largely in favor of married
men. We have no doubt our publication of this
fact will have the speedy effect of rendering the
matrimonial market buoyant.

This suggestive street Car episode is sketched
by the Boston Journal:
"Please take this seat. madam" said the con-
ductor of a crowded horse car the other day, a.
he assisted a woman aboard, and designated the
place which seemed to accord her the best &C
commodation. Thereupon an amiable looking
and fussy old gentleman arose, took him by the
hand and said:
1T delights me to see man I'm your position
who seems to understand the proper mode Of
address to women. have been inexpressibly
sickened all my latter years to hear horse car
conductors invariably say. Take this seat. lady,
or Please move up here LADY, and II affords me
unfeigned JOY to find a man who is not slave
to the employment of that pernicious and mawk-
ish designation of woman"
Having said this he resumed his seat and the
car moved on.
The old gentleman made a good point but
even Bostonians seldom use such freedom OF
speech in horse cars.

From the London saturday Review.
The idea is now ingrained in the American
mind that the one great desideratum is an in
crease of population. This idea will survive the
circumstances which gave it birth, and then the
Americans will awaken to a sense Of IMPROVE
dence that is now taking no thought Of the
morrow. 1t may be objected that the time 10
far distant when the population will be too
large, and when. therefore, the growth Of popu-
lation may threaten the institutions of the coun-
try with danger. But is il soa As we have al
ready pointed out, in another eight years the
population Of the United States will probably
nearly equal the populations of France and the
United Kingdom added together; while i'm an-
other ten years. If the rate Of growth is main
tanned, the population of the United States will
probably equal that of Russia and unless some
great disaster occurs to. check the rate OF
growth, In another fifty years it will have
reached an enormous magnitude. Already the
population Ia dense in parts of the older eastern
states. And when it is borne in mind that the
system Of cultivation tends to exhaust the soil,
while, also, as we have said, the desire to in
crease the population Is an oyermastering one in
the American mind, it Is highly probable that
the dangers attendant upon over-population wiz
II the competition Of other raw material pro-
ducing countries should increase very rapidly,
and should threaten American supremacy in the
European markets. Nor Ia IL only the United
States that have to dread this difficulty. Euro
pean populations are multiplying in confidence
that emigration IL always available for those
who cannot live at home. But what will be the
consequence when the United States are closed
to the intending emigrant?

To the Editor Of The EVENING STAR:
So much interest has been manifested in the
elephant "Jumbo" that closely approximate
estimate of his height may be welcome to many
who have ''guessed" at it. So deceptive is this
that the most reasonable have much overesti-
mated it, In one Of the Sunday papers. e a.. it is
said that estimates backed by bets were heard
by representative of this paper as high as
twenty feet. and few less than seventeen! It
might have been observed byD cool calculator,
however, that the monster is about twice as high
as his keeper; in other words his height is only
claimed to be actually eleven and one-half feet"
AS a matter of observation and calculation It
could have been readily determined by s'c0Ol
calculator" that his height was much less. A
man known to be feet 8 inches high with his
hat on more than reached to the tips of his PEN
dant ears. Projecting an equal line on the pho
tograph Of the elephant, 1t will be seen that the
distance between the altitude thus indicated,
and the top Of the head or back, is about half as
much again; in other words, man feet 8
inches high is about two thirds the height of the
eiel,hant Now, apply the rule Of thrse:-2:
feet inches; 3-8 feet inches. In dne max
ing all allowance tor detective measurement. the
beast cannot be much, II any, more than feet Z
inches high. and Is certainly less than feet
high. The miscalculations were, OF cOurse
chiefly due TO the distortion on the Imagination
resulting from the animals massive bulk. z 6

The Senate committee on Improvement OF the

Is to carry the sewage some distance below the

The flats, he said, ought to be reclaimed, and
the sewerage system ought to be improved; but
the latter was not so important as the former. He
spoke OF an improvement OF the sewerage system
as matter worthy of consideration in connection
with sanitary Improvements. AS to the fats he
