LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. ii.
The river has been rising nearly half an
inch an hour since nine O'Clock last night,
and at six a. m. was Al feet inches, or
feet inches below the marks of 1888. The
Signal Service predicts that the flood will
go above the record of 1888 all along the
Ohio. 1t has already accomplished that
feat at Cincinnati, but it is doubtful il the
same result will be reached here. TIE boat
situation is unchanged. A false but thrill
ing rumor prevailed this morning that the
fiood-gates had burst and Jacksonville
was inundated. 1t has been raining here
since Sunday at eleven a. m, only ceasing
temporarily at two p. m. to-day. Tne cap
tain of the Ariadne reports a disheartening
condition OF affairs at the river towns be-
tween here and Evansville. Both the
Licking and Kentucky Rivers are rising
fast; the constant rains and washouts have
rendered most OF the railroads unsafe. So
far as Louisville is concerned, there is no
need for further immediate subscriptions
10 the food relief fund. The city is in no
present danger of losing gas and water sup
plies. The continuous rise OF the river has
thrown the whole river front, and especial
ly the point, into panic. 1t is now firmly
believed that the food of last year will be
surpassed. Private marks kept in the
mills of Hall & Eddy this morning show a
rise of three-fourths of an inch per hour.
This intelligence was spread through the
flooded districts, and gave rise to fresh
alarm.
There is both great deal Of real and q
great deal of fictitious suffering as q result
Of the evacuation Of the point, for many
weeks before the food many of the poorer
residents were thrown out of employment,
owing to slack in business, and relied for
their sustenance during the winter

Register your Voters in Right Time.

Last week we gave the decision Ct
Chief Justice Randall on the matter
of registration of voters, and as many of
the citizens of this and other counties
may have done so unlawfully, we recon-
mend all to register at the time appointed
by law. The F1oridian Says:
'tWe print elsewhere an opinion rem
dered a few days since by Chief Justice
Randall. The point of general interest
in this decision of the Supreme Court is
that since the act of 1877 because law in
the matter of registration, no one is a
legal voter unless the time of this regis
tration is of date between the first Mon
day in October and day ten days pre-
vious to any generel election. Being
thus informed, those who value the privi-
lege OF voting will lose no time in ascer-
tain whether the dates of their registra-
tions make it necessary for them to
register again in the period fixed by law
We presume the law is not retroactive,
to affect the validity OF anv registration
prior to it's enactment in 1871.

could break it. The top of the fence is
crowned by a thin plank painted white,
that can be seen by both man and beast
at night, and thus avoid being impaled
on the fence. The post base could never
decay, become loose, or blow over, and
the farmer can cultivate his ground to
within three inches of his fence.
Another feature is the possibility of at
taching telephone instruments to wire
in the fence, and communicating with
any and all parts of a large farm, and tc
other neighborhoods.

Sulphur for Grapevines.

Thense of sulphur powder ior the de-
sruction OF oidium, or mildew, has come
into such general use in vineyards that
little need be said concerning its effects
or the necessity OF using it. 1t has
proved itself to be the simlest and most
thorough remedy for a disease that once
threatened the utter destruction OF the
grape crop in almost every country. No
vine, be it never so young or vigorous,
ought to be deprived of the benefit of a
iudicious application OF sulphur, the dis
ease being early transmitted into young
vineyards with the cuttings. A close
examination will often reveal dark spots
on the bark, and, if not systematically
destroyed, it will increase rapidly and
consequently be more difficult to eradi-
cate. Low lands seem to be more af-
fiicted by it, as well as cold soils. Vines
trained high on stakes are more liable to
suffer, probably on account of the chill
ing influence of our cold nights. The
usual time of the first application is when
the new shoots are eight to ten inches
long, having then sufficiently developed
leaves to retain the powder.-,Sdn Jose
