within the flooded districts no pen can de-
scribe. particularly in localities where

people are compelled to camp out on the
hill sides. Grouping all these facts it is in
order to give the imagination full play,
with full assurance that the picture of suf-

reality. The Legislature did the right
thing yesterday by making an appro-
priation to relieve the suffering the
floods have occasioned along the southern

where the rivers have flooded the country
to an extent that local aid is insufficient to
secure the needed relief. Such exhibitions

the immediate and far-reaching con-

miles the floods have swept along, spreading
desolation and death and suffering in their

Quite noted Texas character died at
Dallas, Texas, on Tuesday the 18th. A
special of that date saws:

Ex-Judge William Lewis, a noted and eccentric
character of State celebrity author lecturer.
and politician died to-day in the most abject
poverty IL the City Hospital, to which he was re-
moved yesterday from miserable hovel on Camp
street. He was bosom friend and companion of
General Sam Houston in the days of the Texas
revolution, aud participated In the battle Of SaB
Jacinto. OF late years he has been a jealous ad-
vOcate of greenback aud antimonopoly principles,
and few months sgo wrote life of Sam Hous-
ton, hoping By the sales to maze competency
for his declining years But shortly after the first
edition was issued he taken sick, and
only realized small returns from the work. Judge
Lewis career was closely identified with the HIS
tory of Texas. This evening, when it was made
known that he was dead, and that the city autori-
ties were about TO consign his remains to pau
pers grave in Potters field several leading Demo
Gratis, sinking political differences, determined
that the veteran of San Jacint0 and friend of
San Houst On should not be so inferred and &C
cordingly took up subscription papers, and raised
nearly 500 with which to give the deceased a
decent burial which viii be done TO morrow.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The present session of the Indiana Legis
latare expires March Z. 1t is always difficult
to determine what Legislature is going to
do until the time allotted for its existence is
fully half gone by, not because the members
are inactive or inattentive to business, but
rather because it requires fully half of the
term to prepare busine-s. Bills must be in
tro6uced, referred to Committees and con-
sidered before they can be reported upon,
be discussed. passed or killed. As
consequence Legislatures are Of
ten unjustly criticised when deserving
approval. The Legislature of Indiana is now
pushing forward important legislation with
creditable expedition. Unimportant bills
are slaughtered with grace becoming the
delicacy of the operation, and with a pru-
dent regard for the survival of the fttest.
The Republican members are in the minor
ity, an inconvenience which is more than
equal to all the philosophy they can muster.
With only few more days left in which to
work, the Republican statesmen would like
exceedingly to kill time and Democratic
measures with their long -winded speeches.
and are exceedingly vociferous in their
complaints because the majority, in the in
terest of the people, cut short their fstu-
lent harrangues. But it mustb done If the
Legislature accompanies its mission. Here
after the Legislature will elect the officers
connected with the Benevolent Institutions,
and Governors will be relieved of all re-
sponsibility in that regard. indianapolis
and Evansville will have metropolitan po-
lice forces and we opine will be so pleased
with the new departure that other large
cities of the State which have witnessed the
outrages perpetrated by partisan police
forces will be urgent in their demands for
the benefits such wise legislation must nee
essarily confer

Some Extraordinary Thought Reading.

Some thousands of persons assembled in
the neighborhood of the Adelphi Hotel,
Liverpool, on Saturday, to witness Mr. Ir.

a challenge by prominent local gentleman
to discover pin secreted by the latter with

The pin was hidden while Mr.. Bishop re-
manned in the hotel in the custody of a local
clergyman. At o'clock Mr.. Bishop
emerged from the hotel blindfolded and
drew dis challenger with him, the connect

piano wire. Having trsversed three or four
Streets Mr.. Bishop entered the Neptune
Hotel and discovered the pin inserted in

THE honest wine business of France is
rapidly declining. 1t is stated that the
vintage of 1882 was 100000 gallons less
than that of 1881 and 360,OOO,OOO gallons
less than the average vintage of the last ten
years" What is remarkable about it is
that French wines are just as abundant as
ever. Up to 1877 the imports of wine into
France averaged only 13,5Oo,ooO gallons,
while the exports averaged 100000 gal
Ions, the imports for the last few years have
actually reached an average OF 100000
gallons, while the exports have declined to
IS 600, 600 gallons. The fact is French wines
are now made in the United States without
the use of grapes, the only difficulty being
to have the bottles and labels all right.
