The Situation i'm the VALLEY.

Vicksburg Herald, March III
Tie situation might be a great deal
worse than it is it will soon be much
better if the rains have ceased for a
few weeks. AS serious and alarming
as the results are, they should be pa,
tiently endured if they awaken the
United States government to its duty
in the matter. Proper attention to this
vast interest, such, for instance, as the
great national river would have re-
ceiyed if itfowed east across the con-.
tinent and emptied into the Atlantic
ocean instead of the Gulf of Mex
leo, would have prevented the great
loss OF property and the suffering that
have been endured by the unfort1nate
residents Of the overfowed districts.

DESHA
The Overflow Oh Old River.

A letter of Wednesday last from
Burnett's Landing, on Old river above
Napoleon, and 200 miles south Of here,
has the following interesting news
about the condition of the people in
that neighborhood:
A woman was drowned a few days
ago while trying ito escape from her
deluged house near Watson, and a man
and his wife were both drowned in the
streets Of Arkansaw City.
The levee has broken from Fetch
er's Landing to Burnett's, and from
Red Fork to Gordon's Landing. The
surrounding country is entirely under
water, from one to FIVE feet deep.
The water is in every house
in the town Of Watson,
and along Red Fork Bayou. Many
houses near the breaks were entirely
washed away, and the fences are car.
ried off by the strong current. Major
Albert Wynn, of Mound Lake, has
lost over two hundred head Of cattle
and other stock. The levee has broken
in front Of DR.. S. J. Peoples and also
Mr.. Frank Nady's houses. They
have abandoned the premises and
expect them to be washed away every
hour. We have the only dry place
between Fletcher's Landing and Ma
poleon, and are protected by a side
levee. But the sipe water is doing us
much damage. We fear the destruc-
ton is even worse han we have yet
heard Of, as there are but few boats to
communicate the news from house to
house. Many are living on scaffOlds
put up in their houses, without any
boats to go about in. Women and
children are camping out on the %lcvees,
where they are not washed away. The
river at this place is ten inches higher
than it has ever been known by the
oldest settlers of the country. The
river has fallen four inches here in the
past twenty four hours.

There will be a children's party and
entertainment to-nightat the residence
Of Major Berry, on Union street. A
small admission fee will be charged,
for the benefit of the Strangers
church. These young workers can
enjoy themselves and do good at the
same time.
The rains of Monday last had but
little effect upon the Tennessee and
Cumberland rivers, and prospects are
good for an early decline of the waters
here. A thirty foot rise in "a hours
is, however, reported in the Savannah
at Augusta, Ga, and freshets are an
nounced in streams throughout Penn
sylvania and Virginia.
Forty thousand army ratious arrived
by steamer Belle Memphis this morn
ing. This will feed forty thousand
people for a day. 0fthis installment,
ten thousand ratIons remained on the
boat to be sent to Arkansaw City for
distribution to the sufferers by the
overflow of that vicinity. Major Nose
Harris, of Desha county, went down
on the steamer to manage the distribu-
ton at Arkansaw City.
The steamer Belle Memphis re-
ceived freight money from the United
States government for bringing Che
public rations to this port, but those
conveyed further south were carried
free of charge. The consignment
here included l43 boxes meat, .21 bbls
rice, "a bbls hominy and 65 bbls meal.
The vessel took to Arkansaw City 30
bbls meal and 10 boxes meat, also to
Vicksburg 100 bbls meal and 20 boxes
meat.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Spiritualism.

The usual hand tying, rope-binding,
tamborine and guitar feats
of Spiritualism were cleverly presented
at the Greenlaw Operahouse before a
numerous and pleasantly entertained
audience. The leading actor, Mr..
Arthur St. Elmo, did many clever
things. Some were very mysterious,
and while all were in tho main salts
factory, he developed nothing new, or
that has not been performed here by
others. The Professor was very frank
in his explanations, said his auditors
might call his feats inspiration, spirit
ualism, trickery, sleight of hand,
philosophy, art, or what Trey liked,
and he acted with equal liberality.
The Professor can 90 into his cabinet
tied up .close and sealed to the wall,
yet he .disrobes, throws coats out of
his narrow quarters with celebrity,
rattles bells, and makes ever so much
fun in a style worth witnessing or hear
ing by all who are Of an investigating
turn of mind. The gentleman
will repeat his feats tonight
and may perhaps initiate
the magician Hermann by turn
ing a man into a monkey, before
the curtain falls. He had a we'll be-
haved and rather discriminating audi
ence last night, but several in the
crowd, properly garbed, would have
made good monkeys. In addition to
the mystic features of the exhibition,
a fine tight rope performance is given
in front Of the theater free of charge.

inches above the great rise of 1867.

A little Southern boy, when asked il
his father had a good mule, mournfully
replied, "Ono end of him is good"
Personal attempts TO play with the heels
OF mule are generally failures, A cor
respondent Of the Chicago Times, writ
ing from Fort Buford, gives an exam
pie of that kind of experiment;
A gallant captain of the Fifth Infant
ry, on notable occasion, attempted to
coerce a mule which had backed up
against his tent on wild and stormy
night 10 secure some slight protection
from the whirling blasts The mule was
an old offender and was continually
wandering about the camp after night
Upon this occasion he backedup against
the tent, and the light inside permitted
an accurate view of the animal as his
shadow fell on the canvas, The captain
was entertaining party Of friends;
and when he caught sight of the mule
he picked up pine board, and remark
ing to his visitors, "Now we will have
some fun, boys" levelled afull and fair
blow at the animal
The aim had evidently been true, as
the shadow was seen to move on the
canvas, and then followed an awful
tearing sound, and pair of mules heels
made themselves distinctly visible to
the assembled crowd. The mule con-
tinued the kicking process until he had
torn in shreds the objective side of the
tent selected for his attack, and his heels
reached far enough to enable him to en-
counter the stove. The boys adjourned
for the evening, concluding they had
had fun" enough.
The officer who assaulted the mule
was given other quarters that night and
on the following day purchased tar
paulln with which to repair his domi-
cile.

These cacti grow on the American

lea, and from the Pacific coast to east
OF the Rio Grande, through New Mexico
and Western Texas. The flower stalks
are destitute Of leaves but are plcnti-
fully supplied with branches about cigh-
teen inches long, from which flowers Of
white and yellow colOrs are suspended
IN the lowering season. The dubious
root Is from one TO six inches in diameter
and from six TO eighteen inches long. A
saponaceous juice is expressed from the
root, and the fiber OF the leaves is heck
led for the manufacture Of mattresses.
cushions, chair seats, etc, etc The
vegetable soap extracted from the root
has been used by Indians, Mexcans and
DINERS Tor many years as hair wash,
ana exceeds in purity our manufacture
from animal substances. The prescrya-
tive qualities Of the soap are well known,
and It's use gives the hair fine natural
glow, preventing decay of the hair and
entirely eradicating dandruir or other
impurities on the scalp. The SOAP root
is the basis Of the sozodont. Cattle eat

argument in favor Of vegetable soap. -
For cleaning flannels the amole is found
vastly superior. 1t may be hoped that
the manufacture and preparation Of
amole may become one Of the industrial
pursuits Of the cactus country. Tucson
