when the rains descended upon Eng
land and Scotland, flooding, devasta-
ting, impeding travel, and endangering
life and property. No such floods have
prevailed in the English Lake Region
for twenty years. And now it is
Americas turn to suffer. Similar
floods began at Cleveland three weeks
ago, and for two weeks greater inunda-
tions prevailed throughout the Ohio
Valley than ever before in the memory
of man. Floods of rain swelled the
river to an inland sea, that has covered
banks, railroads, fields, and cities, driv-
ing thousands and tens of thousands
from their homes. Hundreds efhouses
have been filled with water or f1oated
from their cellar-walls, and abandoned
by owners eager only to save their
lives. Large buildings have fallen in
upon their own melting foundations,
and a number of lives thus lost Some
towns were threatened with utter sx-
tinction and had but few streets or
squares above the water. In Cincin-
natl an area of more than seven miles
in length and number of squares in
width has been submerged and there
alone the losses will amount to mil
lions. All along the Lower Mississippi
there is a natural uneasiness about the
unusually high water for the season of
the year, and there is general dread
of what may happen when the melting
SHOWS shall have added their streams
to the already greatly swollen river.
1t must be understood that melting
SHOWS were not the cause of the present
floods, but rather are they attributable
to the untimeliness of excessive rains,
that fell while the ground was still
frozen, and, not being able to penetrate,
formed surface streams that raised the
rivers to torrents.

The Delaware House.

The Delaware House which has been
leased by our enterprising townsman,
W. Frank Jefferson, will soon undergo
a thorough oyerhauling, cleaning,
papering and painting. Gas will be
introduced into the halls and chambers
for the convenience of guests, and
chandeliers put in the parlors and
dining room. A cooking range in the
kitchen, and an effort made to intro
duce water by force pump or wind
pump through the house.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Jefferson to
furnish the house complete and in the
best manner. He has bought entire
sets of walnut furniture for all the un-
furnished rooms The beds will all be
furnished with wire mattresses. The
parlor furniture will be trimmed with
material the color of old gold and
handsomely caIpeted as we'll as all the
rooms in the house and isto contain q
piano for the use of the musical talent
that may chance to be guests of the
house.
The ladies hall and stairway is to be
handsomely carpeted also. Folding
doors will divide the two parlors, which
will prove great convenience ia
guests when being visited by theil
friends. The reading and sitting rooms
will be conveniently and comfortably
furnished and the small room adjoining
will be supplied with table and writing
material for business men and CONNER
cial travellers, necessity and conve
nience seldom found in q country hotel
The dining room will contain fou
walnut tables and the table furnitur,
will be of the most modern and hand
some style. Around the tables on tn,
floor will be laid strips of variegateC
mating to deaden the noise made b,
the walters while waiting ON the guest
so that agreeable conversation will no
be interrupted. Lamberkins will orna
ment the dining room windows an,
lace curtains the parlor windows
Horses and carriages will be kept fo
the use of the guests at a moderat
charge therefore.
When completed there will be bu
few if any better furnished hotels j
. any country town, and we are quit
, sure no more accommodating than th
! new proprietor of the Delaware Hous,
! A new two horse coach is being bui
for carrying guests to and from tn

agement of Richard whose politenel

Mr.. Belts bill to prohibit the publ
cation of lottery advertisements in the
papers of this State, is a very wise
measure and should become a law.
Nearly year ago, when an old con-
tract expired, the Journal refused to
publish the advertisement of the Louis
lana State Lottery, an institution
which we have every reason to believe
has reaped rich harvest from victims
in Delaware. Since that time we have
had liberal offers from the same con-
Germ but have steadily refused to insert
their advertisements. Our example
has since been followed by the Will
mington Morning NelOs. Most of our
State papers however, still take the
liberal pay and publish the advertise
ments that delude perhaps thousands
of our citizens into the jaws of this
soulless concern, to be robbed of their
hard earned wages.-Sasser Journal.
The Journal is not alone in refusing
the good paying advertisements of the
Lottery men. The TINES has been
asked a number of times to publish
them, but has steadily from the first,
refused because the lottery business is
evil and only evil. We hope the bill
will become a law and force the cessa.
tion of the business from the press Of
our State.
We hope further, that Congress will
pass in short order the bill which aiml
to exclude from the United States
mails all newspapers containing lot
tory advertisements.

The superintendent, in his Report of
Free Schools, as do number of others,
declaims against compulsory educa-
ton " in Delaware, but when one goes
through the streets of our towns and
sees the number of boys playing therein
and learning the bad morals of public
places when they should be in the
school room, it is difficult to feel the
force of arguments that continue them
on in such a course. According to the
Report those who stay away amount
to one third of the number, for
by it we learn that in 1882 out of SO,
1873 children between the ages of six
and twenty-one years, %, ,45O only were
found upon the school rolls of the
