MUSICAL AND LITERARY.
Active Preparations for the Conc srt for

Bright, Crisp EnferfafnmeBt--Thos
who Will Participate.

The preparations for the concert to be
given Thursdsy afternoon for the benefit of
the food sufferers at Jacksonville, Ind., are
going actively on, and there is every reason
TO expect that fully $1,000 will be real;z d..
Col. H. Fursfenheim. who has the enterprise

termined to make success OF il. An ArrEAL
reporter called upon him yesterday after
noon in order to ascertain how he was pro-
gressng in the matter.

Tracy for stage manager, and he is entering
heart and soul into the matter. i am at

of the affair. A number of prominent gen.

me that it would be good idea to send each
of them a number of tickets to dispose of. /

gentlemen here, asking them 10 sell them.

THE ENTERTAINMENT.
"What sort OF an entertainment will you
give?"
''It will be part musical and part literary.
Our obj ct is to give a bright crisp enter
tainment. Birnsy Hughes will deliver a
comic speech, and there will be several reci.
tations. OF course there will be more music
than anything else. Mr.. Tracy has already
secured about dozen ladies end geDtle m
t participate, and expects that the musicians
will volunteer. He wishes
TO HAVE AT LEAST TWENTY PERSONS
"upon the stage, and give the ehertaiament
to the audience in quick doses. A number
OF our best citizens have offered their

Have you appointed any sub commit

"No; | did not think il necessary, as

hope the people will respond literally, and
do all thsy can to help US through"
MRS. FlTTs's GENEROSITY.
| In this connection it is proper to 81 ate that
an invitation wss sent Mrs. Q. Fl. Fits, the
well-kuown pianist, asking her to partici-
pale in the concert. In reply, she sent q
beautiful letter OF acceptance and at the same
time inclcssd handsome contribution. Her
| action in the matter is another evidence oi
her kindly sympathy, and is worthy Of emu
lation by o hers. Q1ite number of people
are inquiring for tickets, and the interest
seems TO be widespread. Col. Furstenhei u
has determined to have no reserved seats al
all, but to make it a go'as-you.plesse.

CAIRO, February 19.-The gauge at 6

the rate Of half an inch an hour. The low
lands below here are virtually inundated
and the loss Of stock, property and grain is
said to be incalculable. Tue Iron Mountain
depot at Birds Point has over foot of water
on the floor. The Jackson road ia trans
ferring passengers by boat across May6eld
creek, the embankment having given away
at that place. The Iron Mountain, Texas
aud St. Louis railroads have entirely sus-
pended business upon this end. But little
fear is manifested in the city on account Of
the levees, and the general opinion is that
the river will be on a stand tomorrow or to-
morrow night. Reports Of distress are be-
ginning to arrive from the lowlands in Ken
lucky and Missouri below here. The work
of bulkheadipg the Ohio levee is rapidly
going on.
