THE Cincinnati Times-SLar, one of
our best posted exchanges, says the
raging Ohio has not only brought
disaster upon the Ohio valley, but it
will inevitably carry disaster to the
Lower Mississippi region. We shall,
doubtless, soon hear of distinctive
deluge down there The inhabitants
of the low countries have been warned
of the coming inuadation, and are
probably preparing for the worst.
One grave feature of the situation is
the fact that the reconstruction Of the
leyees in Louisiana is in very back
ward state. Several of the largest
leYees can not be finished until the
latter part of May, at the present rate
Of progress. Moreover, serious caves
atereported in one of the leyees above
Carrollton. The Tennessee river is
full and other streams are adding
their waters to the mighty Ohio, and
the danger of terrible devastation is
imminent. And il this connection it
may be said that another disaster is
probably in store for the Lower Mis-
siasippi valley. With the leyees in
bad shape-whether they are torn
away By the present food or net-the
promised overflow in the early spring |
will doubtless be destructive. The
snow fall in the northwest is remark
ably heavy, and, the Ohio contiuingl
full and the melting snow swelling the /
Upper mississippi and the Missouri, |
! calamitous food is almost certain
,elowC Caro-. But the fearful expert
nee Of the people of the low countries
llong the Mississippi last year will
hardly be repeated. They viii no

An Apes Anger.

A crowd of spectators were amused
by the gambols of large ape that
was lording it over a number of
small monkeys confined in a
great iron cage in the Jardin des
Plantes, Paris. Fruitand many other
things were thrown into the cage,
and the ape was always the first to
seize them. Some one suddenly threw
a small hand looking-glass, with a
strong wooden frame. The ape
brandished this about like a hammer,
but suddenly perceived the reflection
of himself in the glass, he stopped and
for moment looked puzzled. Then
he darted his head behind the glass
to find the other ape. Astonished at
finding nothing, he apparently thought
he had not been quick enough.
He then proceeded to raise and
draw the glass nearer to him with
great caution, and then, with swift
er dart, looked behind. Again find
ing nothing, he repeated the
attempt once more. He next passed
from establishment to anger, and began
to beat with the frame violently on
the floor of the cage. Soon the glass
was shattered and the pieces fell out.
Continuing to beat, he was suddenly
surprised to sec his imagein the piece
of the glass still remaining in the
frame. Then, as it seemed, he de-
termined to make one trial more.
More circumspectly than ever the
whole of the first part of the process
was gone through with-more violent
y than ever the final dart was made.
His fury over this last failure knew no
bounds. He crushed the frame and
glass together with his teeth, beat
them on the floor, and crunched them
again, till nothing but splinters was
left

Texas has the largest crop OF
corn ever produced in the State, and
since the drouth has made the Gotten
crop SO short, the farmers see the
wisdom of the mere corn and less
cotton" theory. 1t is not necessary
to sell their entire cotton crop to buy
at a high price, corn and flour enough
to carry them through to another sea-
son. Most farmers have corn to sell.
illustrated World: The people of
Texas are to be congratulated be-
cause of their spirited movements in
behalf of public education. In the
rush Of business, with vast fields to
conquer and industrial centres to es-
tablish, it might have been feared
that they would overlook the schools;
but they are too wide-awake to make
such a blunder. Pioneer and immi-
grant alike are helping to place
foundation-stone upon which to rear
the fabric of the commonwealth.

The Art OF Advertising.
Newark Advertiser

The newspaper has become the le-
gitimate inheritor of the patronage OF
advertisers. It offers advantages that
no other vihicle possesses and ltco
less than most others. 1t cannot
assumed that the advertising pages
of a paper are as carefully read as the
news portions, but it has gradually
educated the reader to look for what
he or she wants in the advertising
columns, and those who read thepaper
quietly at home are far more inclined
to 90 over their wants and look where
to supply them, than the man in the
street who is probably thinking more
of selling his own goods than of buy
ing his neighbours. Then the scope
of this method of advertising is almost
endless. 1t takes business card or
or a two line notice, or it may cover
an entire page and there is a chance
for a literary display. Many large
business houses keep a gentleman of
education and skill in literary matters,
to superintend this department of
their business, and it is wonderful
how much he finds tn say on what
would seem to be hackneyed subject.
Indeed, the art of advertising is to be
always fresh and new, to be short, yet
clear and concise, to be humorous
when humor will tell, but to be plain
and direct. The nearer an advertise
ment harmonized with the general
style and drift of the paper the more
;ielv Il is to be read and make an
impression.
