ST.. EoUIs, No., June 2S.-The
Madison dyke. between here and Al
ton, on the Illinois side Of the river,
broke about 8 o'clock this morning In
two places. one near Mitchell, about
twelve miles from East st. Louis,
and the other farther North, near the
head Of the dyke, not far from Alton.
The crevasses are not very wide vet,
but growing rapidly, and the water is
rushing through at a fearful rate. 1t
is expected the entire bottom North
of East st. Louis, embracing from
fifty TO sixty square miles, will be
flooded. Farmers are leaving their
homes as rapidly as, possible, many
Of them going to Alton, and others to
different points Of the bluffs FIVE and
SIX miles back from the river. The
destruction OF crops and damage to
farm property generally will be very
great.

Seduction in Southern society has
ever meant death in certain circles of
life. There is no time to parley when
. stain has been put On a family name
which will be a deadly whisper of re-
proach through generations Of men
and women after. Nearly every old
family has a skeleton of some sort in
the closet, but the virtue Of our wo-
men has for generations been to US
dearer than life. The man who yio-
lates this sacred social instinct, then,
takes his life in his hand and should
die the death. The man who even
comes fairly under the suspicion Of
wrong must justify. his conduct be-
yond all cavil or marry the injured
woman. He should not leave her
he should not be permitted to leave
her to carry alone q polluted name

The marriage of Mi. John Grabill

L. Lander of this city, formerly OF
Mexico, Mo-, took place Thursday
afternoon of last week at the residence
Of Tom B. C~Iaypoole, Rev. j. H.
Mize performing the ceremony. This
was a quiet nuptial affair, it is true,
but nevertheless the contracting par
ties are among the best people Of the
county. Mr.. Grabin is a young, in
telligent and prosperous farmer, while
Miss Lander is a successful and ex-
cellent school teacher, well-known in
the county-two noble occupations.
The bridal pair as soon as the knot
was tied, started for their home and
began housekeeping immediately.
MI. Grabin had wisely secured fine
farm and builta coy and comfortable
house on it, and furnished the house
with the conveniences and some Oh
the luxuries Of we'll appointed home,
before he chose to take unto himself
a wife. Now they have a pleasant
home in which to reside, and we hope
peace and prosperity may be theirs
through a long life journey and the
squalls in'this voyage be few.-Has.
tings (Neb.) Gazette-Journal.
1t is with pleasure we note the
above marriage. Miss Sallie has q
host of friends in Audrain who know
her to be a most worthy young lady
and rejoice that she has married q
man worthy of her. They all wish
the happy couple a long life-many
joys and few sorrows.
