FLOOD AND STORM.
Bad Condition OF Things Along the Mis-

sissippi RIver-Storm In Ohio.
CAIRO, ILL, May 2o.-The condition Of
the country throughout that section border
ing on Davis Bend, located twenty-five
miles below Vicksburg, is in a sad plight
worse probably than at any other point on
the Mississippi River. The water still re-
mains knee deep on the plantations, and the
planters have given up all hopes of raising
a crop this year, and have been obliged to
pay the expense necessary in getting the
negroes and their families to such points as
will enable them TO gain the actual neceS-
saries of life. The whole country is abso-
lutely destitute of provisions, and the exc
dus of the poor negro is necessary to
evade starvation. Parties OF thirty
and forty have been leaving there
by every boat for several weeks, going
in every direction, many seeking the higher
elevations up the Arkansas and White
Rivers. Others passing here were destined
for almost any point on the Ohio or upper
Mississippi which seems to promise them
living. Last week about two hundred
negroes and their families, all valuable
farm labOrers, and hard to replace at any
price, left Point Pleasant, La, in Davis
Bend, on one boat, and diSembarked at
Terrene, Miss, destined for the Upper Ar
kansas and White. the expense being borne
by the white planters, who, rather than see
the poor people suffer, have contributed suf-
tcient means TO help them away. The loss OF
this valuable labor can not be as fully suS-
tanned as the ravages of the waters, and
while the floods at an early day promise to
return to the river bed, no improvement of
the condition of things can be anticipated
III the absence of the bone and sinew which
is to build, plant and renovate.
SEVERE STORM.
COLUMBUS, o., May 2O.-A heavy wind
and rain storm visited the village of Tarl-
ton, Pickaway County. yesterday afternoon.
About thirty houses were unroOfed, being
nearly the whole village. Fences were
blown down, trees uproOted and man
named Kershner dangerously hurt by fall
ing blacksmith shop. The same storm
passed in the vicinity of Lancaster, Fayette
County, where several buildings were un-
rooted and the amphitheatre at the fair
grounds and race course destroyed. Sev-
eral horses were killed by falling barns.

Condition of the Crops In the Western and
Northwestern States.

CHICAGO, May 21.-Crop reports received
by the Farmers ReUielC, up to May 10, are
10 the effect that the conditions for both
wheat and corn are better, but
the general situation is by no means
reassuring as yet. Winter wheat
beginning to head and spring wheat is grow
ing well, with generally good prospects in
Illinois. Certain sections report improved
indications for winter, but the crop for the
State at large promises to fall short of the
average The spring wheat prospects in
Iowa are good, but corn planting
is greatly delayed. Michigan predicts
a small wheat crop, and harvest two weeks
late. In Minnesota and Wisconsin the wheat
prospects have improved the past two weeks.
Kentucky and Tennessee report improved
wheat prospects, while certain counties
in Kansas predict not to exceed halt
crop. Other counties of Kansas continue
to send in very favorable reports. Ohio
and Indiana report fair prospects, only for
wheat. In certain sections of Missouri the
chinch bug is feared. Dakota prospects are
very promising.

Literary Note.

THE CONTINENT Weekly Magazine was
started by Philadelphian in PhiIadel-
phia; but from the day that Judge Tour
gee acquired the property it was destin-
ed for New York. The only question
was as to when the move should be made
to the city which has now become the
literary as well as the commercial me-
tropolis of the country, simultaneously
with the move The CONTINENT publishes
an extraordinary array of advantageous
offers to subscribers, especially to those
who are in the habit of reading other
periodicals, who will do we'll to examine
THE CONTINENTS Combination Rates
before supplying themselves with period
icals for the coming year. THE CONT
NENT has made its place in field hith-
ertO unOccupied, and it is wonder that
the idea of weekly magazine, like the
monthlies, but of more frequent publ
cation" as the Philadelphia Ledger puts
it, was never thought of before. 1t
promises an attractive array Of good
things for the future, and begins the sea-
son with a remarkable serial by "Orpheus
G. Kerr" entitled "Once There Was a
Man," which is STORY" of the good
Old-fashioned kind, but the Unsuitable
humorist has introduced in the work
which is carefully written and impor-
tant novel. subtle bit of ridicule which
will set the country roaring as the joke
develops. Special terms are offered to
those who subscribe from the beginning
of this serial, which is handsomely illus
trated. and all who are not familiar
with THE CONTINENT are invited to ask
for specimen copy.
