A Social Fraud.

A subscriber writes to know if it would
be proper for him to speak to lady
that he has never been introduced to.
He says he has met her on the street, In
places of business, and at parties for
two years, that he knows all her family
and she knows his, and that she looks
almost as though she wished he would
speak, but he has never been introduced
to her, and dares not speak. No, you
must not speak to her. You may go
along meeting her every day till Gabriel
blows his trump, and she may look as
familiar as your sister, and yet till some
mutual acquaintance says ;" MIR. So-and-
SO, this is Miss So-and-so," you can not
speak to her without society will say you
are an impudent thing. She may wish
she knew you, and yet if you speak to
her she would feel it her duty to society
to say "Sir," and look greatly offended,
and then you would be all broke up. Ii
she should drop her pocketbook, and you
should pick it up and hand it to her, she
would thank you with smile, but you
would have no right to speak to her next
time you met. If she should meet you
some day and say How do you do,
Mr.. So-and-so? / have known you ever
since you lived in this town, though we
were never introduced formally, and it
has got so embarrassing to pass you halt
dozen times day without speaking,
while speak to those that may be with
you, that I have concluded not to wait
for an introduction, some nine spot
with a number six hat on would say
/" oh, my, what hirt that lady is. She
actually spoke to man without being
introduced" If you frankly offer hel
your hand and say, "Thank you, madam,
for suspending the rule of etiquette in
speaking. I have seen you 80 many
times that your pleasant face is as vel.
come sight as that of my sister, and
have wanted to know you, but had giver
up all idea that I ever would" some
simpering female idiot would say {: "Only
to think, that bold, awful man has ac
tually iirted with Miss So-and-so unit
he has got acquainted without forma
introduction. No, young man, go righ
along about your business, and dom

Diseouraging Prospects In the Mis.issirp

The flood news continues to be the leading
theme throughout the Mississippi Valley, and
planters are greatly discouraged ovsr the pros
poets. They do not expect the water to fall,
under the most favorable circumstances, inside
of the next eight weeks. As no plowing has
yet been done, and four weeks or more are
necessary to prepare lands for planting, it is
feared that short crop will be the result in
the Mississippi Valley this season.

Rain. Hinsl .ntI s1e...

On the 21st Of February the Ohio River,
which had been gradually rising for week or
more, reached its highest point, flooding the
entire valley along its course and doing incal-
culable damage to property and stock. At
Cairo the water was eight feet above the dan
ger line, twelve feet above the danger line at
Louisville and eight feet six inches above the
danger line at Cincinnati. The highest point
attained at Cincinnati was ifty-eight feet and
six and half inches, the highest the river has
been Since 1847. In the lower part of the city
all business was suspended and scores Of people
were driven from their homes. Railroad traffic
was seriously impeded, particularly on roads
leading West. The Ohio and Mississippi were
compelled to suspend entirely, taking passen-
gers from Cincinnati to Aurora, Indiana, by
boat, where they were transferred to trains. At
st. Louis railroad traffic was seriously inter-
fered with, many of the roads suspending
operations. The most serious injury was sus-
tanned from the washing away Of bridges.
This was particularly so throughout Indiana.
The J. NJ. and I. Road had q bridge washed
away on the Madison branch. The Vandalia hal
several washouts west of Efingham the 1. &
st. L. also suffered serious damage in Illinois,
and had to transfer passengers. The Iron
Mountain Railroad at Birds Point was washed
away, and trains could not run east of Charles
ton, Mo. At New Albany, Indiana, twenty
one factories were compelled to suspend opera
ton and 5000 operatives were temporarily
thrown out of employment The bridge of the
New Albany and st. Louis Railway, over Fall
ing Run Greek, was washed away. At Jeffer-
sonville, Ind, both shipyards were compelled
to shut down, and a portion of the town was
inundated. The waters did more or less dam
age to all towns along the river, at several
points entering the houses of not less than
three hundred families, compelling some to
evacuate while others took refuge in the upper
stories. The storms in the Northwest assumed
the form Of sleet and wind and much damage
was sustained. In all the lower country,
particularly the Mississippi Valley, the reports
are of q very dscouraging nature. Farms are
inundated and stock drowned-fences swept
away and property ruined. Nor is there a
prospect at present Of better condition at q
very early day. All work will necessarily have
to be suspended until it has become too late to
put in crops. The human suffering is also
very great-people deprived of their homes
and turned out in the cold and wet without
means and without shelter.

doubt as to his guilt. He maintained his in

was to hang, to support himself.

unfortunately was slain in the melee that ensued.
