PORTSMOUTH UNDER WATER.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 10, 8 P. M.-The fol-
lowing description of the condition of af-
fairs at Portsmouth, Ohio, and appeal
from J. J. McFardin, Mayor of that city,
has been read:
PORTSMOUTH, o., Feb. 10.-The city is
almost entirely under water and commu-
nication with other points is shut off The
water is higher than during the flood of
1882 when the river was higher than ever
known before. The river is still rising.
0ne-half of those who moved into their
second stories are moving from their
houses altogether, and all frame houses
are deserted. Many houses are floating
away. Great suffering has already been
experienced and worse is expected. At
daylight this morning fire broke out in
Green's feed store in the business portion
Of the city caused by the shaking of lime
submerged in the rising water, but owing
! to the fact that hose could not be laid on
account of the distance of the building
| from dry land, the flames had spread con-
siderably before the firemen could get to
work. A fiat boat was towed to Sixth
street where a fire engine was loaded
| on it and it was tOwed by men in
skiffs to the corner of Second and Market
streets in the vicinity of the fire. The
| firemen worked in boats and on house
| tops, and succeeded in confining the fire
to six buildings. These were burned to
the waters edge, and all walls fell in.
The churches are all under water. All
the engine houses and school houses

CINCINNATI, Feb. 10, II P. M.-The
water to-day on both sides of the embank-
ment sustaining the tracks of the Cincin-
natl, Washington and Baltimore Rail-
road in Mold Greek valley has so softened
the earth as to cause two slides, leaving
the track unsupported. This cOmpels the
trains Of this road to enter Cincinnati on
the Hamilton and Dayton track, at the
junction miles from the city. 1t does not
hinder the running of trains. The Bee
line trains will be compelled to make
their terminus at the stock yards, about 3
miles from the regular depot. The Gin

has been opened through to Parkersburg,

pany under the superstition, evidently that
this company is chargcable with the debts
of the old concern. The representatives Of
the Cutter Marble company do not be-
lieve that the attachment has any foun-

that the attachment will be removed to-

The most glorious sight have ever
seen was one evening at Interlaken,
when, Just as the last rays of the set
ting sun had left the valley, the Swiss
lady with whom I was chaffering about
wood carvings exclaimed: Look look
at Jungfraul" I looked at Jungfrau.
She stood TRANSPORTED against the clear
blue sky; her white mantle illuminated
from summit to base with such food
Of translucent, rosy splendor, as the
imagination cannot paint if the eye has
not seen it. and words are inadequate to
describe. The glorious spectacle lasted
for perhaps ten or fifteen minutes, when
the gray shadow of evening crept
slowly up the mountain side, and the
dying light rested like blush upon
her cheek and forehead, and then van
ished in the twilight. 1t is not often
that the atmospheric conditions permit
Jungfrau to present herself in this
superb costume.
suppose you are tired OF Jungfrau.
II could be tired of mountains ought
to be fatigued with the constant recur-
renee of the same peaks wherever I
have been for the last two weeks, For
it is strange popularity of the bigger
mountains that they seem to follow you
in whatever direction you travel-to
skip and caper like troop of frisky
Brobdingnagian maidens in revolving
circles about you-peeping coyly now
over the shoulders of their nearer
neighbors-now through the gaps
or around the corners of the huge
walls which hide them, or confronting
you at full length through the
broad openings of some valley; but al.
ways lowering about You as if they
knew you liked their company and did
not want to part with you. The far.
Their you go away from them the nearer
they come to you. They haunt you like
gigantic ghosts in their white shrouds,
reappearing when you least expect them
and vanishing with tantalizing capri
ciousness just as you don't want them to
do it. The illusion is partly an optical
one and partly the result Of the Devil
ieringly tortuous and circuitOus routes
one is obliged to take in this mountain
ous country.

The Small Boy.

But do not be hard on the SIN all boy.
He is human and he loves the woods
and all that there is ir them and when
he loves thing he will work for it,
Our teachers and parents might make
a. note - this. He loves the pure dir
and the refreshing mudholes. Atschool
with every door and window closed,
he feels stupid and sick. He
cannot tell how many two times
two are without counting his fin
gers, and sometimes is not bright
enough for that. But place him
on raft in pond in some lonely dell,
or let him chase the chipmunk through
the thorn brush; he may neglect to
make exact calculations as to dinner
time, but he will tell you exactly how
many jumps the chipmunk made and
bring home more observations on the
phenomena of nature than the best
naturalists can properly note in a week.
The moral is that the small boy needs
dir, and not SO much wind pudding.
This is suggestion made for the pa
rents, and teachers also.

Isn't Driver Enough.

AT the Gentlemen's Driving park
where William H. Vanderbilt and other
owners of fast horses speed their teams
I came across man who found delight
in something that had never struck me.
Vanderbilt was urging his best pair
around the course for the first time
since he was overturned in the sport by
o collision. The gait was a slashing
one, and l asked spectator, who had
timed mile of it, how swift it was.
Bwo thirty-six, glory to Godl" was
the unexpectedly fervid answer.
"But they can do much better than
that" said.
"Yes, and that's what makes me grin.
They can do better, but Bill Wander
bilt can't make 'em. He amt driver
enough for it, you know. If he had a
thousand millions instead of two
hundred, them horses wouldn't go their
best clip for him. He has to hand the
ribbons over to Johnny Murphy when
he wants to show their speed. Don't
you s'pose he'd plank down good
sized fortune if it would buy skill
enough to speed that teamp I'll bet
you $40 on it."
Vanderbilt is not singular in being
unable to drive his horses for the best
that is in them. Bonner, Work, Rookie
feller--all of these, owners of the fast
est four teams in the world-are COM
PEELED to put professional drivers into
the buggies when remarkable per-
Torrance is desired. This employee is
usually the trainer of the beasts, knows
their peculiarities perfectly, and is I'M
derstood by them to he their complete
master. Not one of the men / have
named can drive his horses within ten
seconds as fast as they will go FIR the
trainer,
