The Saturday journal.

The Saturday edition of the Journal has
taken such rank as to make it almosta special
and independent paper 1t is prepared to
meet the demand for newspaper of the
highest class, filled with reading matter OF
the best character, and thoroughly unobjec-
tlonable in every respect--a paper that
can be welcomed into every home and be a
companion at every treside. 1t Isl splendid
treasure-house of the best literary ability OF
Indiana, and as such, is worthy the support
of the people. The Saturday Journal reaches
into the furthest limits of our territory in time
for Sunday reading, which Sunday papeI
cannot possibly do, because of the lack OF rail
way facilities on that day. 1t is also on hand
for the long hours of Saturday night. The
Saturday Journal will be found to contain
that which will interest the old and the
young alike, the farmer his wife and his
daughters, the literary man, the scholar, the
politician, or simply the one who desires the
fullest news of the day. 1t already has much
wider reading than any other issue of the
week. and greatly more extended and better
patronage than any daily published in the
State. Special contracts for advertising fol-
the Saturday edition are made, and special
subscriptions for it are received

The biography is perhaps overdone, but the
press pronounces it entertaining and valu-

The British Museum is making a great
effort to secure the collection of manuscripts
formed by the late Earl Ashburnham, num-

OF the collection, accompanied by editorials
urging the government to supply the funds
for the purchase, appear in most of the lead
ing newspapers The museum authorities
have no power to spend money except by
treasury grant. 1t is reported that Berlin
and Chicago stand ready to purchase if the
museum be unable to do so.

There has been exhibited at the rooms of
the National Health Society novel dress in
tended for the protection of sanitary visitors
nurses and others who have TO enter the
rooms of persons suffering from infectious
diseases. The garment is of macintosh,
glazed inside and out, and made completely
to envelop the wearer and with o hood to
cover the head. Thus only the hands and
face remain exposed-a matter considered OF
comparatively little importance, as these can
be easily washed with disinfectants not
less important object proposed to be effected
by the use of this dress is that by its removal
when the wearer leaves the sick-room the
clothes which have been protected need not
be changed and the danger of the disease be-
ing carried from house to house or cemmuni-
Gated to susceptible persons in public vehi-
Giles is obviated. A tight case for the fever
dress to be inclosed in is part of the inven-
ton. AT the end of the day, or as often as
may be convenient, the dress can be cleansed
with disinfectants. Further protection is
given by simple form of respirator. This is
made of two folds of thin washing net, be-
tween which is pasted layer OF medicated
cottonwood, through which the layer can
breathe, though no germs can pass. The
respirator has tape strings which tie round
the ears. After use the wool is burned and
the net washed.

Railway Travel Resumed and Delayed Mails
Arriving.
LOUISVILLE, Feb. 19-At p. NJ the river
was forty feet at the head of the canal, sixty
six feet in the channel at the foot of the
canal. A test made this evening showed that
the flood exceeded that of 1882 three feet and
three inches by well-attested gauge marks.
Several freight trains passed over the bridge
to-day. The steamer Transit, which has
been on guard duty at the bridge since the
flood began, has been relieved. The weather
is clear and pleasant. The Gas Company has
been pumping out mains all day, and will
probably supply gas tomorrow night. Con-
tributions continue, and distribution has
been systematized, so as to guard against de-
ception and afford relief only to the worthy.
Travel over the lines of the railroads will be
rapidly resumed. There is much delayed
mail matter both received and forwarded.
Exchanges week old are pouring into the
newspaper offices like the flood poured into
this point a week ago. The peace of the city
was never better preserved. Some minor
depredations are reported from the flooded
districts, but the amount of such has been
comparatively small, considering the extreme
excitement OF the past week.

Serious Damage in Woodford, Mclean and
Tazewell Counties, Illinois.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
BLooMINGToN, ILL.,, Feb. 19.-The flood in
the valley of the Mackinaw river, in Wood
ford, Mclean and Tazewell counties, is more
terrific than has ever been known in all the
history of that treacherous and turbulent
stream At least $4,000 worth of bridges,
railroad and country road have been de-
stroyed and damaged by warping. The In
diana Bloomington & Western has not had
a train from here to Peoria since Friday, but
hope to get through tomorrow. The Wabash
and the Illinois Midland railroad bridges are
destroyed. Many farmers in the Mackinaw
valley, south of the l., B. & w. railway,
are drowned out, their families barely es-
Gaping with their lives Hundreds of hogs
and no little stock have been drowned. A
number of boats went down from Pekin
and Peoria to-day to rescue those who are
surrounded. The total loss of property will
be very great 1t is feared that a number of
lives will be lost In a number of places
cattle and horses are seen standing on hay
and straw ricks in the midst of the flood.
The city of Havana, Mason county, has been

Safety of the Levees.
:. CAIRO, ILL.,, Feb. 19.-The gauge at 6 P. M.
reads fifty-one feet and rising at the rate of
half an inch an hour. The low lands below
here are entirely inundated, and the loss of
stock, property and grain is said to be meal
culable. The Iron Noun tain depot at Birds
Point has over foot of water on its floor.
The Jackson road is transferring passengers
by boat across Mayield creek, the embank-
ment having given way at that place. The
Iron Noun tain, Texas & St. Louis railroad
has entirely suspended business upon this
end. But little fear is manifested in the
city concerning the levees, and the general
opinion is that the river will be on a stand
tomorrow or tomorrow night. Reports of
distress are beginning to arrive from the low
lands in Kentucky and Missouri below here.
The work OF bulkheading the Ohio levee is
rapidly going on.

The Clond Orer the Lnnd Lencne.

LONDON, Feb 19-The Times says: "The
suspicious raised by the evidence given by
Carey, on Saturday can only be allayed by
thorough disclosure of the accounts of the
Land League, subject to Independent audit.
Until this is done the league will be under
suspicion of maintaining secret relations
with criminal couspiracies of the foulest
type"
The Times asks: What is thought of the
offer of Parnell to place the influence of
Davitt, Egan, Sheridan and Boynton at the
disposal of the government for the restora-
ton of order in Ireland, or of the statesman
ship which, in spite of the warnings of those
best acquainted with Ireland leaped at Par
nells conditions for peace?''

THE MAUMEE,

The Damage at Toledo Much Less than First
Reported.
TOLEDO O., Feb. 10 The Blade this after
noon publishes a summary of the damages
inflicted by the flood, showing the aggregate
to be much less than was believed to be the
case yesterday. The largest portion of the
loss is on railroad bridges and docks 1t
will cost $50 900 to repair the bridges, $25,-
600 to put the middle ground in as good
shape as before the flood, and about $40, 900
to repair the docks. The losses of merchan-
disc, including logs and lumber, are rela-
lively small and will not exceed, it is
thought $4,000. The expense of moving
goods to places of safety is the next most Sc
rious item, and will aggregate $4,000 to So
600

CURRENT FOREIGN TOPICS.

Matters of Special Interest Culled from
Specials and Exchanges.
The rains and floods, which have been pre-
vailing in all parts of the country nave now
assumed the proportions of national caam-
ity. Large tracts OF land are totally sub
merged. By this time of year considerable
area of wheat would have been sown, but
scarcely an acre has yet been seeded down in
all England. The land is literally morass,
and the winter wheat is rotting in the soggy
ground. Whatever may happen now, there
cannot be great harvest this year, even if it
does not turn out one of the worst that Eng
land has ever known. To add to the misfor-
tunes of our sorely agricultural popu-
lation, disease has broken out among the
cattle and the sheep.

No New Cable to be Laid.

Mr.. John Fender, NJ. p, the Gable Le-
viathan," insists, positively, that the Gar
rett-Bennett cable will never be laid, and de-
ies Mr.. John w. Garrett to disprove his as
sertion. Public opinion is generally, might
even say universally, to the effect that the
cable business is already overdone and that
no addition whatever is necessary to the pres
ent excellent facilities afforded by the exist
ing lines. 1t is, | fancy, verythoroughly un-
derstood now that the object of any new
cable line can only be to bleed the present
companies and to play into the hands of the
strikers" not to benefit the public. All
such projects are, therefore, looked upon
with diSapproval here.

How to Buy Old Laces in Italy.

I
The limitations of old lace produced there
are perfect, except that the web of the imita-
tons is not as exact as that of the copies. 1t
may perhaps interest ladies to learn how to
buy old lace cheaply in Italy. When an
Italian countess has firted for certain
number of years she falls back on devotion,
and on her death she often bequeaths to a
church her old lace. The churches are al
ready overstocked with these offerings
They therefore obtain permission from Rome
to sell them. The sales, however have to be
conducted secretly, for were they known the
requests would fall off. Any lady want
ing lace should, therefore, make friends
with some influential Italian priest and get
him to procure her some. The difference in
the sum paid to tine priests by a dealer and
that paid by customer to a dealer is often
800 and 400 per cent

BERLIN, Feb. 19.-The Pope, in letter to
the Emperor, announces that he has per-
mitted the bishops, without waiting for a
complete revision of the May laws, to notify
the government of the selection of new Gu
rates. The Pope asks, in addition to the re-
vision, that measures be taken to mitigate
the impediments to the exercise of clerical
duties and the training of the clergy This
he says is indispensable to the very life of
the church. If an agreement be established
thereon real durable peace will be easy.

last twenty-four hours, and has now reached
twenty-five feet being only eght-tenths of
foot below the August, 1876 rise Heavy
ice is running, and all the bottom-lands on
the Illinois side of the river are submerged.
Those living in the lowlands are fleeing to
places of safety, leaving their stock and
other property to the mercy of the food.
Great anxiety is felt for the safety OF the
levee below the city. Should it break the
damage will be immense. Fears are also ell
tertained that the gas-works may be injured
and suffer as those atother points have.
