THE MIGHTY WATERS.

The Strength of the Floods Unabated.
MEMPHIS, March S.-A special from
Helena, Ark, says: ''The river has risen
a scant half inch during the past twelve
hours 1t is thought that the levees can
now be held against all probable emer-
gencies, as they were maintained last night
against terrific eastern gale that sent
the water dashing over in many places.
The situation is still critical, and there
will be no relaxation of vigilance and
labor to make everything compact and
thoroughly secure. Below Helena the
country is all under water from five to tif-
teen feet. The back water from Hubbard
break is appearing in the lower end of the
city, but will do no damage unless other
breaks occur. There will be no overflow
at Helena. The Lauguille river rose two
inches last night. This indicates that the
rise here will continue for some days"
LITTLE Rock. March S.-The water con-
tinues to rise at Arkansas City, and as
was the case last spring, citizens have no
means Of communication except by boats.
There is four feet of water i'm the Parker
House, and the back water covers the
Little Rock, Mississippi River and
Texas Railroad, for eleven miles.
Though communication is still main-
tanned, the only ground visible in the
town is near the elevator. There is con-
siderable suffering among the poorer
classes. No provision have been made
to relieve the destitute,

haps from Friar's Point. They say that
no danger is apprehended from the water

A special from MayersVille tonight
says: ''The water is still running through
Elleslie gap, and is entirely over Elleslie
plantation. The gaps were not caused by
the breaking of any unfinished levee but

is about foot deep in these gaps. 1t is
thought the lakes into which the water is

will carry it off sufficiently fast TO render
the damage comparatively small. The
adjacent levee above this point is reported
in good condition, and no trouble is appre-
hended from that quarter.
