oltuauou IN the MlsaiAAtppl Valley,
Timely Aid for the sufferers.
MENPHIs, TENN, February 2S-The rise
oi inches to-day was unexpected, but
doubtless due in q measure to the large
rainfall oflast evening. A'pertect storm
Of rain swept over the city for more than
two honrs, and has rained almost continu-
ously since ten last night. Specials from
Helena, Ark, say the rise there for the
past twenty-tour hours will exceed two aud
one-haf inches. The heavy showers YES
terday caused rise OF 6 inches in the over
how within the city, and seriously incon.
venieneed many whose residences were
but few inches above the backWater
treshet It, however, soon declined, and
IN the majority Of cases the submerged
lower toors are above water.
Light showers prevailed to-day, and the
river at this point will, It Is thought, con.
tinue rising slowly until about the Sth Of
March, when, it Is predicted, we shall have
about 10 inches higher water. A visit TO
the break in the leyee about two miles be-
low the city to-day revealed the fact that
the water was pouring through the creviee Of
800 yards width with greatly increased
velocity and that the break was steadily
widening. This immense volume OF water
has, however, large outlet and will
not seriously affect this immediate vicinity.
The great question Of the day is "Can We
stand the water yet to Gomez The fear Is
that our levee Is utterly insufficient to keep
back 50 vast volume on top Of the great
pressure now yiciousiy depressing US.
Governor Churchill telegraphed L Fl.
Mangum to-day that q boat with $4,000
worth OF provisions for the sufferers in the
bottoms OF Arkansas and Mississippi, was
en- route from St Louis. Mr. Mangan
Is directed by the Governor TO pro.
eeed TO Memphis, receipt for the cargo
and use his own discretion in distributing
the same. This relietis timely and will be
great boon to the suffering Water.bound
sufferers in the bottoms above and below
this point.
VgcxSBuBo, February pa special from
Lake Providence, LG., says: A creyasse
ACQUIRED in the LOngwood levee this morn
ing in the rear of the residence Of George
c, Benham. The break is thirty yards wide
and the water Is rushing through at fear
tul rate. Some Of the most valuable plan.
tations viii be submerged.
The river rose two inches in the past
twenty'ionr hours, and Is now higher than
was ever known. Fears are entertained
that the Longwood creyasse will place the
town OF Lake Providence under water.

THE RESTLESS EMPIRE.

Ing the Late CEar.
ST. PErERsBURG, February 2S.-The Nj.
hilist trials opened ON Friday at twelve
precisely. The accused, Emelianoff, who,
according to the act of accusation and his
own confession, had helped to place the
mortally wounded Emperor in his sledse.
declared that there was no truth in all that
He added that at the moment of the crime
he was reposiug TRANQUILITY in his own
apartment and defed the prosecution to
produce witness who could affirm the
contrary. In reply to this the President
quoted the declarations OF Kgratowsky and
Ryssakof. "Let the men be produced y
said Emelianotf "Tbey cannot be pro-
duced; they have been hanged" replied
the President. To this rejoined theaccnsed.
at was not l who had them hanged" !" The
lAnd!ady OF the house where the prisoner
lodged was now introduced. She could not
positively affirm whether on the lst ll3thl
Of March Emelianof had left the house be.
fore or after the attempt.
Examtnedby IL Alexandrotf, the advocate
Of Emelianof, she was confused and lot
her head, eontradicting herself several
times. Proceureur Mouravief came TO her
assistance and endeavored to re,estabiish
in her mind the order Of the facts. II
Alexandrof again interfered, and warm
alteration took place between the aecusa-
ton and the defense. Tothose Who Watched
the proceedings it was evident that
Emelianot had received his lesson from
n Alexandrof. The President cut short
the discussion by asking Emeliauofr hfsmo-
tiyes for incriminating himself up TO that
time. II was forced 70 die and 10 accnse
myself, replied EmelianoE. "Bywhom!'
rejoined the President. The accused
could find nothing to reply to this, and he
fixed his eyes on his advocate as Il an
pealing for his aid. The President in
sisted, and the advocate, like the accused,
had not 4 word to say. The President
ordered the depositions Of Emeliauof and
all those concerning him to be read over
again. The reading was continually in
teuupted by the laughter and talk Of the
three accused women, who joked loudly
all Che time. The Court here adjourned.
0n its resembling IL MouraTieHf began
his requisitoTy. Having recalled the ass
asstnation OF the late Emperor he went on

made up ni handiul Of desperate fndiyid-

There never was brighter prospect for
wheat in Franklin and Pfckaway counties
than a; the present time-a perfect sod

ground, with very large acreage; freezing
and thawing does not seem to have any
effect oo it, irOn the fact that it has such
roots and remains firm in its place, while
the ground freezes up over it; therefore it
seems impossible for it TO winter kill.
