WASHINGTON, February 1j.-Represent.
alive King yesterday addressed letter to
the chief signal officer requesting informa'
ton as to the danger OF food in the lower
Mississippi with view Of basing upon
that information any necessary congress
sional action.
In reply the chief signal officer states
that 1t is almost certain that floods will oc-
eur between Memphis and Vieksburg; that
danger signals have been ordered along the
line from Memphis TO Cairo, and that the
rainfall Of the next two weeks will deter
mine whether the floods In the lower Mis-
sisslppi will not be higher than that OF last
year.

A Louisville telegram says: Only five
are known to have been drowned. Their
names are Samuel Bell (colored), John
Finch and son, Edward Harris, and
George Lynch (colored). None OF the
bodies have been found. Samuel Bell
Is supposed to have been murdered by
Two white men, Samuel Donohne and
Christopher Slpple. The three had
been together in skih from the time the
dam broke until when the murder Is sup
posed to have been committed. In searching
through some OF the houses they obtained
demijohn OF whiskey and drank freely
until all became intoxicated. They had
rowed The boat to within fifty feet OF land,
when Supple and the negro quarrelled.
After some words Sipple suddenly picked
up an oar and struck the negro n heavy
blow on the head, which knocked him half
way over the side OF the boat. 1t is stated
that Donohue then finished the work by
pushing kim out into the river and rowing
the boat away.
The case OF the drowning OF John Finch
and his son is particularly sad one. lie
had been rescued from the roof OF his
house by means Of a boat and taken to the
shore. lie then discovered that his son bad
not been saved, and, jumping into another
boat, he succeeded in reaching the house,
but lost his balance and falling into the
water was drowned. Henry Reed is sup
posed to have been asleep when the water
struck his house, sweeping 1t off its fouD-
daton. He climbed out on the roof and
called loudly for help. Several men in a
boat heard his cries and rowed toward him,
but before they reached him he sank from
view and rose no more.

Professor George 1T. Cook, director of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, at New Bruns- wick, in the report on his labor alludeS to the waste in the use of mills for extracting the juce, 40 per cent. of the sugar beng lost by the ordinary procls7. It is worth while 10 Inquire whether ,he best mills, from which the pressed cane comes out almost as thin and dry as car> penters' shavinge, do not secure a much larger percentage. Before con- ciuding his report, Professor c. refers 10 the work of the sugar com> pany in Cape May county, where 964 acres were planted with early amber and early orange seed, which gave 6,200 Of tapped cane-one tield of elght acres giving 136 tons, or T. tons an acre, and another of orange cane on 20 acres afording 259 tons or over 12 tons an acre.

THERE is food for reflection in that phase of American life which now days leads to numherless excur- sions, large and small.
 Thirty years ago the matter of ex- cursions was limited to a snort trip along some river in steamer or & few miles ride with horses and was gon to country picnic. To-day there are thousands of excursions each summer all oyer the states east of the Mississippis from the interior to tie sea coast and from the sea coast to the interior; to Niagara, to Chautauqua, to the lakes and bcauti- ful scenery of western and northern New York,to tue mountains sections of Pennsylvania. to Vermont and lake Champlain,t to the mountains of New Hampshire and the lakes and forests of Ma ine,t the St. Lawrence and the Thousand Isles. to lake Su- perior and the watery gems of Min ncsota, to the medical springs of Arkansas, to the vast Rocky moun- tain region, to Europe, everywf ere north, south, east and vets there is vast travel and numerous excursions. This season probably the grandest cxcI Is ;on the world has ever seen as to numbers and distance travelled, as to time occupied and splendor and comfort of equipment, has taken place; we refer of course 10 the trip os the Knights Templar to the Pacis fc Coast.
 Thirty years ago one section of Q country was comparatively a ountry unknown to another section except by hearsay. To-day the peo- pic of those same two sections are mingling freely and the country is known as a farmer knows the farm of his neighbor.
 He who is Interested in the study of man and civilization asks what does all this mean?
 What will be the domestic, the so- cial, he economic, the physical rec suits? What will be tho commercial, the political, the religious results? What will be the effect on the civil. jzatiop, the education of the western continent? Surely these arc topics that could be discussed to the extent of volumes. The philosophy of tLe develop nent of education, ars, fc encss, literature, the civilized race, is within the scope of e nsi- derasion. What is beneath it al : Wh lt IS the instrument that has " ought this change in our social economy? What has made it possi- ble Q intermirgle the people of the. numerous and various sections of tue whole continent? Tie Iocomo- tive, the railroad. IL is time for our philosophers 10 discuss the railroad as civilizing aud educating lnGu, ence. It is having other influences also. It is rapidly changing the character Of $ people, considered aside from the e1ucative influence. But the object of these lines is not to discuss and draw conclusions; It is rather 10 point out very in- teresting subject for philosophical meditation; neither could so vast a subJecs be treated within the limits to which we are confined.
