FEBRUARY FLOODS.

MEMPHIS, Feb. 22.-The officers of
the city of Greenville confirm the report
published of the sad condition of affairs
now existing throughout the Mississippi
valley. Thousands of men are on con-
slant guard along the levees between
here and Vicksburg, using every possible
means to strengthen their power and to
prevent the water inundating the whole
country. Greenville brought up several
thousand empty sacks to be used, by
filling them with earth, to aid in strength
ening the entertainments. A batch of
twenty-five hundred was put oft at Boil
yer landing, where the danger of break
was imminent.
Washington, Issaquena, Boliver, CAL
homa, and Junica counties, Mississippi,
in fact, the whole shore between Memphis
and Vicksburg on the Mississippi side,
and the whole eastern shore of the Ar
kansas, are either under water or threat
ened with inundation. The inhabitants
of a vast area of country are in great dis
tress. Many have been forced iron their
houses and are subsisting as best they
may on RATS, and some on knobs or parts
of old levees. The waste of property by
the great submersion is outside the limits
of present computation. Navigation of
the river itself is regarded by steamboat
men as dangerous ct its present state on
account of the general expanse of water
in many locations and the billowy char
acter of the waves where the surface is
swept by heavy gust of wind, and also
because of the great difficulty in getting
to safe port. Government lights along
the river are maintained with admirable
regularity. These lights prove the in
calculable benefit to steamboat men since
all bank land marks have disappeared.
Arkansas city is submerged. Not a
single house in the city is free from the
presence of the muddy foods. The wa
ter there is represented as being eight
inches higher than the food of 1876
The houses were built so as to be above
the highest flood level of that year, but
in all of them there is from seven to eight
incher of water.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The bill to re-
tire Gen. Grant was passed in the Senate
by a decisive vote of 80 yeas to II nays.
All the Republicans without exception
voted yea, while all the Democrats, with
the exception of Senators Brown, Call,
Davis of Illinois, Davis of West Virginia,
Jones of Florida and Ransom voted nay.
The feature of the debate attracting most
attention was bitter partisan speech by
Senator Jones of Louisiana, who said
that the constituents he represented had
not forgotten the war, and he could not
vote to place on the retired list man
who had trampled under foot the liberties
of the people of Louisiana. He referred
to the placing of Pinchbeck in power
against the wishes of the Legislature,
and to Grants reply to committee of
200 citizens, who proposed to visit Wash
ington, that 100000 citizens could not
change his mind, as it was settled once
for all. Senators Brown and Call made
speeches in favor of the bill, in which
they deprecated any feeling on the part
of the South against Gen. Grant.

eyes, SIR, I'D SHOOT HIM."

Six or eight congenial spirits sat
around stove in Grand River grocery
the other night, and after several other
subjects had been exhausted, some one
introduced that of panics in churches,
theaters and halls. This gave Mr.. Hope
well chance to remark:
Gentleman l just long to be there. %
.Where2'
''Why, in one of those panIcs. Yes,
sir, I'd give new twenty dollar bill to
be in the theater one night when there
was an occasion for panic"
"Why?"
"Why, because one good, level headed
man could stop the thing as easily as you
could end up that barrel of -four"
''Well, 1 dunno about that" observed
one of the sitters. "There is something
awful in the cry of fire! and hear it where
and when you may it startles and frigh-
tens. What would you do in theatre
in case there was cry of fire and a
rush?"
''I'd stand upon my seat, pull re-
volver from my pocket, and shout out
that I'd shoot the first man who attempt
ed to crowd or rush. One cool man
would check the panic in ten seconds. !"
While the subject was being continued
the grocer withdrew to the rear end of
the store, poured little powder on a
board, and gave three or four men the
wink. Directly there was bright flash.
yeIls of "fire!" and ''powder!" and every
man sprang up and rushed. Hopewell
didn't spring up and talk of shooting.
On the contrary, he fell over lot of
baskets piled up between him and the
door, got up to pillow his way over a rack
of brooms, and when he reached the
sidewalk he was CT all fours, white as q
ghost, and SO frightened that he never
looked back until he reached the oppo-
site side of the street.

A DESPERATE DUEL.

Two worthless recently entered a rail-
way car in which Ne,os man was seated.
They were picturesquely attired in
sombreros, rubber boots and pearl-col
ored suits of military cut. They glowered
around the car moment and then seated
themselves and commenced whispered
conversation. Thoughts of train-robbers
flashed through the minds of the tender
feet In the train, and conservative
looking old gentleman was noticed to
surreptitiously slip his gold watch and
pocket-book under the cushion. Suddenly
one of the "Wild Bills" stood up and
there was general movement among
the tender-feet to throw up their hands,
and to allow the supposed desperadoes
to get through with their work of acquir-
ing their booty as expeditiously as pos
sible. But general feeling of relief
was experienced when it was found that
the bloodthirsty fellow merely wanted to
borrow chew of ''navy" from an ac-
quaintance at the opposite end of the
car.
He had scarcely left hi. seat, however,
when his companion turned to his near
est fellow-passenger, and remarked:
s'Thats the hardest man in Colorado. :"

IN THE MELSTROM.


A Scandinavian emigrant gives the
following account of tragedy in the
famous Lofonden Mmlstrom, his rustic
patois of the fords doubtless being ''lost
in the free translation" of Toronto re-
porter: ga few years ago, on delight
full July evening, saw body Of Goldfish
rise by the edge of the whirlpool's outer
circles, and Immediately after the Goldfish
haG arisen a whale arose among them and
spouted. The column of spray blown
up like geyser attracted the attention
of a small fishing boat less than half a
mile distant, and knowing that where the
whale blew there was cod, they pulled
toward the spot. In the boat was pref
ty old man and his son, lad of about
sixteen. They had just &C ne for the
first time out to the Lofodens, and now
pulled carelessly inside the circle. The
boat began to move slowly round, but
they went on fishing, unmindful of the
motion. But the movement increased,
as every moment the circle grew smaller
and the swirl moved faster. AT length
the truth dawned upon the luckless old
man and the boy. A faint scream of
terror from the lad came over the water;
they grasped their oars and pulled with
desperation. But they were In the
meshes. 1t seemed as if some iend were
dragging them to the devouring vortex.
For time they held their own against
the centerward force, but only for a
while The old mans strokes became
less steady, and SO did the lads. The
latter again rallied, and was pulling with
the desperation of despair, when his oar
unshipped and fell over. In moment
it was carried away. Then the two set
up wild, piercing cry, put their hands
up, praying to God for mercy-they
could not expect deliverance. In min
ute or two it was all over. The boat was
whrled round and round, then her stern
was seen to rise in the air, then with all
she contained she disappeared forever" "

ST.. PETERSBURG, Feb. 24.-The Pan
Slayists here and at Moscow are arrang-
ing grand reception to Gen. Skobeleff.
All the nihilists on trial yesterday with
two exceptions pleaded guilty. The
court sat till midnight. No political
trial in Russia has been conducted with
such serenity, severity and disregard to
the ordinary usages OF legal procedure
as the one in progress now. The presi-
dent of the court insisted the prisoners
should be tried separately or in groups,
according to their crimes. They are for
hidden to speak or write to each other
while together in the dock. At first
communication between the prisoners
and counsel was forbidden. Even the
public prosecutor protested against this
decision, which was ultimately withdrawn.

SUMMIT LAKE.

The present terminus of the NJ. l.. s.
& ". r. r. is summit Lake, in Lincoln
Co., 1l8 miles north of Oshkosh. BY
actual survey the lake is 1166 feet above
the level of Lake Winnebago. 1t is a
beautiful sheet of water about one and a
half miles in diameter, and the average
depth is 20 feet. In the center of the lake
is small island, which is covered with
trees. The shores of the lake are high,
and within twenty feet of the edge of
the water. There is large growth of
small pine, balsam and other evergreens,
all going to make up one of the hand
soonest pictures that can be imagined.
Seeing the advantages for pleasant
resort that the lake and surrounding
country possesses, the railroad company
have plated 160 acres of land, and the
lots are being taken up eagerly. Already
there is quite settlement, consisting of
depot building, store, blacksmith
shop and three hotels. The first build
ing was commenced on the 18th of De-
cember. One of the hotels is presided
over by W. j. Empey, formerly of Wau-
sau, and another by Geo. G. KimbalI,
formerly of Marion. Both houses are
good ones, not of the shanty description,
or as Assistant Superintendent David
Curtis expresses it, Canvass backs. %
Within radius Of few miles there
are many other lakes, and in the Ian
guage of S. B. Lawrence, ''they are lit
orally swarming with black bass" These
fish grow to an enormous size, in these
waters, and take tie hook readily. He
must be poor fisherman who cannot in
few hours fill boat with fish. Mr..
Kimball proposes to keep number of
boats on Summit Lake. for the use of
pleasure seekers and those who wish to
enjoy fresh air, laden with the life CIV
ing balsam and pine, will find that Sum-
NIT Lake is the spot above all others.

GLASS FIFTY YEARS IN LADY's FooT.
A Welsh lady named Broderick, for
many years resident of Ansonia, and
for over 40 of America, had the misfor-
tune when child of 10 or II to step
upon some glass by which the sole of
one of her feet was filed with the brok-
en- pieces, which, however, were, as was
supposed at the time, all extracted. A
few weeks since she began to have a
soreness in the foot, and it increased
until it was found necessary to consult a
physician--Dr. s. r. Baker-who, upon
a certain place, found hard spot which
was very sensitive to the touch. An in.
cision was made and piece of glass
over an inch long and three-quarters of
an inch wide at the base, tapering to
sharp point, was snugly hidden under
the bones of the instep, where it had
probably laid for nearly or quite so years.

orangoutang and gorilla by their scarcity
being ruled out on this list. On their
triangular ground of seventeen acres the
geological society have now about 1000
specimens of the creatures whose tastes
are carefully catered to in the spacious
enclosures, the neat and clean houses,
and the weedy pools where their captivi-
ty is passed. Each year there are about
600, 900 visitors to the gardens, or almost
exactly the number that visit the British
Museum, although admissian to the lat
ter is free, while the Zoo" charges a
shilling on all the days but Mondays,
when the price is sixpence. Think of
seeing the best collection of living ami
mails in the world for 12c! The yearly
receipts of the geological society from all
sources are about $685. 900 and the ex-
penses almost the same, but the accumu-
lated value of its property during its So
years of its existence is incalcuable. 1t
has gathered along with its living curios-
tiles select and costly geological library.
with no design of money making, never
declaring dividends and finding its rich
est reward in the delight and instruction
of the public, the society has reached a
basis of prosperity as enduring as it is
well deserved.

A Cars PREDICAMENT.-Af few days
ago, while the fy-wheel of the Winches-
ter Arms Mandatory in New Haven
was revolving SO rapidly that the spokes
were iudistinguishable, the engineer
noticed white blotch revolving with it,
but supposing it was merely sunlight
falling on the wheel, he at first made no
investigation. Two hours and a half
later he observed that the white streak
was still there, and having stopped the
engine, he discovered to his amazement
that the apparition was q substantial
white cat which had been clinging to
one of the spokes since the wheel started.
She was very much exhausted, and the
numberless revolutions had made her
cross eyed, but she has since recovered
her strength and visual perfection and
become the pet of the establishment.
