THE RIVER AT HELENA.
HELENA, Ark, March 12-Another inch
decline last night, making a total of three
inches since the decline set
in. The gauge now shows forty
six feet eight inches. 1t is curious to
state that there is no fall noticeable during
the day, but every morning reveals de-
cline. This singular piece of eccentricity
is without q parallel so far as heard from
in the history Of this mysterious river. The
weather is clear and springlike. Sufferers
by the Hood within our borders Will be
provided for by state aid, which cannot
come too quickly. There is between 500
and 600 negro refugees wholly unproyided
for, powerless to help themselves. The
Ievees around Helena were never more
secure.
