The Waters slowly Abating.

The Chicago Times correspondent telegraphs
from Helena, Ark, as follows every heart
seems weary and saddened by the distress that
surrounds the city. There is nothing thought
of except the relief OF the sufferers, and every
ono here has done his part in sllccoring and
helping the afflicted. The stratus remain un-
changed in this section. The water falls very
slowly. contrary to the expectations OF every
one +; and it is feared that it will remain mp
some weeks longer. 1t has become
a monotonous sight to every eye.
Commissioner Mangum cannot fulfill all the
demands coming from individuals and from
the mass. In Desha county the sufferings seem
to be very great. These advices come from
Arkansas City, where the greater portion OF
distress is situated. But few supplies have
reached them, the greater number being dis
tributed at other points Rations are eagerly
prayed for, as the suffering IL great, and help
must reach them from some quarter.
A gentleman in conversation told the
writer that near him lived about 1880
people without food or money, and
unable to help themselves in the present state
OF affairs. He was then on his way TO Men,
phis to zee what arrangements he could make
to alleviate the condition of his neighbors.
From all parts the same accounts Of misery are
told. Cattle and mules are dying and have
died by hundreds Human beings and ami
mails are housed together, the humans willing
TO share their very last With their horses and
other animals, not only from affection, but for
the intrinsic value they set upon them. A
gentleman who has visited the distressed
regions remarked that the dogs looked
more prosperous and In better con-
dition than the people themselves. The gnats
are becoming greater pest every day. They
are having most fatal effect, and will continue
for some time. 1t is as great calamity as the
food. Lieuts. Satteree and Richards visited
the overlooked region around this place. They
have already visited other portions OF the
flooded country, and say that the horrors are
not in any way exaggerated. They have es-
timated that the number of people requiring to
be fed is In Phillips county, 6,000; Monroe
county, 600; Chicot county, 5000; Desha county,
$500. These gentlemen give most graphic
pictures of what they have seen and expe-
rienced. Lieut. Richards left for Mississippi
county, and Lieut.. Satterlee for Leo county to
make personal investigation of distribution of
supplies In Tacoma Circle, particularly rich
and 6ourishing section, great suffering exists.
Houses are being used for the refuge of both
cattle and human beings. The steamer Dick

Great Britain's possession Of the Rock
Of Gibraltar Ii . relic Of by-gonc age.
II has for many generations been mon
ument Of the least agreeable side Of
European politics. Gibraltar Is BY
position Spanish fortress. and its name
i synonym for imprcgnability. Why,
then. should Il be occupied BY foreign
powerP On no theory Of fair play can
the fact be accounted for; but not till
recently has British love Of justice
seen anything improper in Il. Agita-
ton for the recovery Of the fortress IL
now in progress in Spain. and the En-
glish Radicals 10 certain extent sym
pathize with Il. Standardization, how
ever, Is not alone at the bottom Of the
talk Of surrender Modern modes Of
warfare are such that Gibraltar Is not
indispensable 70 British glory. It's har-
Dor Il poor and i commanded by the
guns Of other forts. No force could
take Gibraltar. II Is admitted, but that
does not increase its Importance 70 En-
gland, for at this day rendezvous for
the Mediterranean fleet Of ironclads Is
Of more Importance than land fort not
connected with good anchorage ground
for vessels Of the class which compose
the British Navy. There Is q harbor on
the African coast suitable to receive tho
largest fleet Of the largest mcn-of-war.
wcll-guartled BY fortifications and 40.
ccssible 10 supplies from land. The
changes of fifty years in the art d
war would make this port more than an
equivalent for Gibraltar. II Is MOI
strange that the moving spirit Of Span
ish nationality calls fur the recovery d
the historic fortress.
