now four great floods of the Ohio river of ex-
traordinary distiaction-so far as Cincinnati
is concerned. The first was in the year 1892
when the village OF Acknowledgement
of log cabins and one or two frame houses on
the bluff banks of the Ohio containing some
two or three hundred people-and according
to accounts Of tradition from cur forefathers
there must have been quite, if not over,
sixty feet of water
There is one great point of distinction of
the flood of 1892. 1t occurred just four years
after the first settlement of this place, then
named and called Losantiyille, and in the
very year that Arthur st. Clair Governor of
the Northwest Territory, including Ohio,
changed the name of the village to Cincinnati.
But the important point was, this flood de-
cided the then mooted question as to whether
the previous settlement OF Columbia, or Gin
clnnati, should be the permanent location of
the western Ohio immigrants. The village of
Columbia was completely under water and
all the lands adjoining clear up along the Lit
tie Miami, whereas the higher lands of Gin
cinnati were not touched by the waters, only
the lower lands This TACT made what people
there were give up Columbia as a berma-
nent settlement and adopt Cincinnati, and de-
cided this question.
Then there was another In the year 1915,
when the town contained about 1000 in
habitants and 500 houses of brick, frame and
logs. This, according to story, was not quite
as nigh as the hrSt. Then came the over
whelming food of the year 1882, when the
population OF the incorporated city of Gin
cinnati numbered just S,014 and this was
the highest of the Ohio until the present
time. The water then measured sixty-three
feet four inches.
In order to understand the situation OF
1882 we must consider that the city was not
onetwelfth part as large as now. Its bust
ness and dwelling places extended from just
beyond Western Row, now Central avenue,
on the west, to Deer creek on the east and
the Miami canal on the north, and the river
on the south. Many of the best dwelling
houses of the city extended along Front and
Water streets, from Walnutto Western Row;
indeed Front street was filled on both sides
sides with fine mansions for those days, and
some of the best people OF the city resided
there. From Walnut street to Broadway
and below Third street were the chief bust
ness houses of the city, and very few of
these were more than three stories in height,
and most all of them built of brick, some
few of limestone. The waters came down
with a rushing din, beginning about the 8th
of February 1882, to rise. and the highest
level was reached ten days afterward, on the
18th. The water covered about thirty five
squares or blocks of the city, and averaged
depth of four or five feet. Of course most
all of the business of Cincinnati was sus-
pended during the food more so, compare
lively speaking. than it is now, and the dis
tress and desolation which prevailed was
necessarily greater comparatively. .-..

Vile The heart of the nation throbs in SYM
pathy with the people who live and transact
business on the banks of what was 'the beau
tiful river but is now a desolated waste.
Every fraction of an inch, whether it be a
swell or a decline. is watched and recorded
and commented on, and the telegraph clicks
the observation, the record and the COM
ments for the information of the philan-
thropist and the business man many hun
dreds of miles away, and responsive click
brings back to our homes the sympathy and
substantial aid of both. Portland aud Chi
csgo had their fires. and the pine regions had
theirs, and the Southern cities had their
plague. and the nation had its terrible muir
der, and ali of these called on Cincinnati for
sympathy and aid. They did not call in vain.
Now, instead of fire, or plague, or crime, the
destructive element of Genisis causes Gin
cinnati to want-not that the proud
Queen is unable to care for her own,
but the mass of her people want the
aid of the few. They get it. The rich feed
the poor; not the poor of this city alone, but
of all the towns located on the banks of the
river for distance of thirty miles or more.
1t may be that assistance from other cities
will be asked in the impovershment of even
benevolence that may result from the stretch
ing out of her protecting arms to the subur-
ban towns In that case she feels strength in
the belief that the asking will not be neces-
sary, and her strength in this arises from the
munificent donations that have been already
volunteered.
The relief committee of the Chamber of
Commerce is made up of such material as the
occasion requires, At no time are there
more than enough of its thirty-fve members
at headquarters to transact necessary Office
business, all others being engaged at different
parts in the city where humanity calls them.
The all-absorbing motive of each member is
to help his fellow-creature in distress, and
all sacrifice their private business and their
social pleasures to the one object That their
efforts may in few, cases be misdirected, and
that unworthy objects may sometimes re-
ceive undeserving bounty, is incident to all
such OCCASIONS but these few must not be
considered in the great work that is being
performed Tor the deserving thousands,

The fortunate person VINO has a dry house
and good fire can but dimly imagine the
wretchedness of the inmates of a six-story
tenement-house driven by the flood to upper
floors and there obliged to live without fire
or food until rescued in boats. And when
from the recital of these minor incidents of
the removal from third and fourth-story
windows of delicate women, invalids and
babies, of homeless families crowding into
the police stations until there was no room
for anybody to lie down, and of the throw
ing open of the school-houses and churches
as places of shelter the dispatches go on to
tell of condition of a great city in which
business is suddenly and completely sus-
pended, the social soberness of the Lenten
period eompulsorily extended to classes usu-
ally little mindful of church seasons, and
which is in communication with the outside
world by but single railroad line and that

is forced to go back to Ararat for precedent

The people of the Ohio valley are among
the most liberal in the country in such
emergencies as their recent contributions
for the sufferers by the floods on the Rhine
fully attest. There is now an excellent OPP
portunity to confer charity at home upon a
people who do not ask or need aid in ordi
nary times, and there should be no delay in
the good work.
New York Herald.
Farmers who are driven from their homes
by water seldom have time to save their live
stock, and floods that come at this season Of
the year are quite likely to kill whatever
grain was sown IN the previous autumn.
Fences usually float away, and if there is any
great depth or rush of water the barns and
houses go also. If the farmer, escaping with
his life, returns when the food abates, he
frequently finds nothing as ii was except the
ground beneath his feet, and the chances are
that he has neither horses nor implements
left with which to cultivate it, nor even a
roof to cover his family. aff

character for benevolence by contributing
clothing and food for the sufferers. All who
had vacant houses and rooms cheerfully APP
propriated them to the use of those made
homeless, and basement stories of churches
were appropriated to this purpose"
-. This gives vivid picture of the scene in
Cincinnati in the great flood fifty-one years
ago, For half century it has stood at the
head of Ohio floods. But now it must stand
second. 1t is to be hoped that never may
