Effects of the Cumberland Flood

Effects of the Cumberland Flood.
 NASHVILLE, Jan. 1.-The Cumberland river continues to rise rapidly with already fifty feet nine inches of water, or an amount greater than the high water mark of 1S47. A great deal of lamber is still being de- stroyed by the food Four hundred fam flies have been driven from their homes Serious damage is done to the business in- terests by the stopping of mills factories, etc. River men say the water will yet rise two or three feet.
 LATER.-The river is still rising and the damage increases hourly. Several streets are completely inundated and street car travel on many streets is suspended. The suffering among the poor who have been driven from their homes is serious The fact that the rain has ceased and the weather is growing colder gives hope that the water will rise but a little higher.

CRITICISM.

Time and again we have noticed
the want of management in different
departments of the Government, but
especially in the matter of road
repairing. 1t has been a constant
matter of adverse comment in all
the journals published here. Yet
we do not see any endeavor on the
part of the Government to attend to
these matters. They seem to be
perfectly indifferent to criticism and
TO 90 on their own sweet way with
out reference to what has been said.
And when they have, in Difference to
public opinion, done anything, they
endeavor to conceal their indebted
ness aud say that it is Of their own
motion.
Now this is hardly right. If they
do wrong they must expect criticism
and should own up when they are
fairly hit. People would think more
of them and uphold them better if
there wasn't this indifference to
criticism and disingcnuous creeping
out of acknowledging what it has led
them to do. We trust that they
will take warning.

A SINGULAR ACCIDENT.

The Wangaratta Dispatch mar
rates the following particulars of
terrible accident which occurred at
Eldorado, Australia, Nov. 23rd:
"It appears a girl, aged about 10
years, daughter of Mr.. McGregor,
was standing on the road when a
person on horseback was passing,
and before the poor girl could get
out of the way the animal stumbled
and fell on top Of her. In stumbl-
ing the animal somehow threw up
lump of stick four feet long and
about the thickness of mans
wrist. In falling the blunt end of
the stick was in contact with the
horse's shoulder, the sharp end
meeting the girls right breast. The
weight of the falling sent TIE stick
right through the poor child's body,
entering at the right breast and
coming out at her back by the
shoulder, and then entering the
ground, pinning her to the earth. The
mother of the poor girl, after several
Intellectual attempts succeeded in
dragging the stick out of the poor
little sufferers body, the end being
still covered with earth after coming
right through, the precaution of
cleaning the end before drawing 1t
not having been thought of. So
great was the force which sent the
wood through the child's body that
all the bark was peeled off. DR..
Haley did all in his power for the
poor little sufferer, but considers
the case a hopeless one."i

HAWAIIAN MINSTREL TROUPE.

Many of our readers will remem-
Der the company of local amateur
thcatricals, designated by the ap-
pcllation of "Thc Hawaiian Amateur
Minstrel Troupe" which existed
and flourished in Honolulu three or
four years ago. They gave series
of mirth-exciting, side.t tearing en-
tertainments, at the old Theatre
Royal, the memory of which is still
green in many minds. Their reign
was brilliant, but their life, as n
company, was short. They became
disintegrated and dissolved by re-
ciprocal consent, and lovers of
comicality and drollery were sorry.
Those sorry people will be glad to
learn that the defunct company is
coming to life again. Some of the
old blood has mingled with fresh
blood, and a numerous troupe, with
hopes and prospects of vigorous
life, is the result. The new COM
pany, which has sprouted from the
ashes of the old, assumes the name
of "The Hawaiian Minstrel Troupe"
1t numbers about twenty members,
and is at the present time actively
rehearsing in preparation for its first
appearance before the public, which
will occur shortly, and of which due
announcement will he made

AS it is not an uncommon thing
for watches to be stolen, and by
their passing through several hands
the police are unable to trace them,
it would be well for all persons who
have watches offered them for sale,

possession of them, to communicate
the fact at the Police-station This
could easily be done by telephone.
