Other Great Floods.

The first great flood in the
Ohio occurred in 1892. The riv-
er was higher then than ever
known before. disastrous
flood occurred in 1850, but last
year, in February, the waters
were higher than in 1882, reach
ing &C feet 5 inches above low
water. at u o'clock to day
wednesday, the river is 20 feet

The big floods in the Hooking

when the water was higher than
eyer before. The present flood
was about three feet higher than

pondingly great.

Latest From GallipOIis.

DR.. Little returned Wednes-
day morning from GaIlipolis and
reports the situation terrible and
beyond the power of words to de.
scribe. The relief from Logan
was the first received.
The cars cannot get nearer
than four miles but a steamer
met the train and took the ro-
visions TO the sufferers along the
river. The greatest suffering is
at Pomeroy and Middleport. The
people are homeless as we'll as
starving, and the project is pro-
posed to bring them into the in
terror Of the state where we can
feed and shelter them.
The other members of the COM
mittee have not yet returned.
The Doctor says that provis-
ion is coming in abundance from
central Ohio and that Logan will
not probably be called on for
anything further.

Southwark Flow of CAPITAL,

The flow of capital into the southern
states continues at q tremendous rate,
and if there is no check to the move
ment the next census will reveal some
wonderful changes in that section of the
republic. According to the Baltimore
Manufacturers Record, the money in
vested i'll new mining and manufactur-
ing enterprises in the south since tho
LIST of January this year amounts to the
great sum of so, 5O4, 900. The most of
this has gone in the states of Alabama,
Virginia, Kentucky, Texas, Tennessee
and Florida, in the order named. The
heaviest Investments OF capital have been
in coal mining and iron manufacturing
companies, though a considerable por-
ton of this capital has, OF course, gone
into various other industries, such as
cotton and wollen mills, flour mills, saw
mills, machine shops, sc. In Alabama,
more than in any other State, mining
and iron making have been the %favorite
investments. The apparent fondness
of North Carolinians for small enter
prises is remarkable. There are more
cotton mills in that State then in any
other in the South, and yet, with two eN-
ceptions, they are small as compared with
Georgia and South Carolina mills; and
so it is in other branches of manufac-
lures. Factories are increasing by the
dozen, utmost of them are of moder-
ate dcaDacity.

Girls Letters.

Who nowadays writes letters? We
all dash off hasty notes, OR hurriedly
scribble apostal card, under pressure of
immediate necessity, but thei."epistolary
art" so dear to our grandmoth ers, is
becoming extinct.
1t is not long ago that postage was so
high that letters were a luxury rather
;han the necessity that they are now.
The arrival of one was looked upon as
q great event, and to destroy was little
short of sacrilege. It was worth while
to spend some time and pains on q let
ter which would be read and re-read,
and perhaps handed down for the bene-
tit of posterity.
The disjointed productions that pass
for letters in these degenerate modern
days would have shocked an educated
girl of the last century. There is no
reason why girls who can speak French
and German should not be able to write
English. Many young ladies who have
had a smattering of reconcile science,
and who have dipped into the gram
mars of one OF more of the ancient and
half a dozen of the modern languages
are still unable to write q letter in their
own tongue, that in arrangement and
choice Of words might not disgrace q
properly taught child of twelve. Es-
pecially the distinction between the
third and first person is often SO hazy
that a formal note begun in one is fin
ished in the other!
A good correspondent begins her let

ter by writing her address and the full

ter by writing her address and the full
date plainly at the top Of the page.
Letters are 30 often referred to as evil
dence in trifing OF important matters
that this is worth remembering. Ii
they should happen to be kept for any
length of time, the date would add ma
t%erially to their interest.
Many persons seem to think it an in
suit to the intelligence of their friends
to write straightforward from page to
page in the natural manner, and that
the more their letters resemble q puz
zle the more piquantly interesting they
will be. It is hard to tell why a SEN
tence commenced at the bottom of one
page should not be continued at the top
of the next, instead of rushing wildly
off at q tangent, and be found at last
written crosswise, in the very last place
a person wouldlook for it.
The girl who really answers a letter
is no common correspondent. We have
all groand with mild evaporation over
a letter supposed to be a reply to one Of
| our own, but which took not the small
est notice of our modest communication,
even in the cursory mention Of its arri-
val, left all our questions unanswered
and, with curious ingenuity, omitted
every scrap of information on the sub
iect that most interested us.
The best time to answer a%1etter, when
it is possible, is Immediately after first
reading it. So many things rush into
ones mind that cannot be recalled after
ward. Very few people have the requi-
site leisure to do this, as in ordinary
CAGES it involves a rather brisk cores
pondence; but it should not be put off
longer than necessary.
People who are travelling abroad are
very apt to make their home letters too
much like gude-books. Descriptions
of scenery and famous places are gen.
orally tedious. 1t is the little things
that are entertaining q droll adventure,
a popularity in dress or speech, any
thing which especially strikes the writer,
will be certain to be given wildly, and
will add color and interest to her letter.
The full name should be signed, Sc
that should the letter miscarry, it mag
be returned through the Dead Letter
Office, which would be impossible if the
only clue were s'Lulu" or "Katie."-

DR.. jasper Benson, so years old, was
recently married at Boykin, S. c., to
Miss Constance Bell, a schoolgirl Of II,

The marriage was not opposed by the

Adelina Patti is said to have worked
a crazy quilt while on her latest Ameri-
can tour. 1t is composed of plush and
velvet, is six feet square, and after shs
has lined it with swans down it is to be
disposed of by rattle at a swell charity
fair. Nicolini thinks it should bring at
leasttwo thousand gunieas.

Ellen Terry, the actress, has acquired

Mr.. John b. Ulmar of 1843 WASH
ington street is reported to be the
Oldest living jeweler in Boston, having
served his time with Joseph Clark On

Boston. Miss Geraldine Ulmar of the
Boston Ideal Opera Company is his
daughter.
A woman will wear q hat trimmed

tency Of woman.-Boston Post.
In 1928 James Gordon Bennett was
Washington correspondent for q New
York paper. He originated a style of
letter writing that has lasted until now.
Of his work Ben; Perley Poore writes:
"They were lively, they abounded in
personal illusions, and they described
freely not only Senators, but the wives
and daughters Of Senators. This sort
of thing was a novelty then. The de-
scriptions of toilettes, the cravats of
the President and the hunting saddle of
his niece tickled not only the fools but
also wiser people, who liked the sensa-
ton. These same letters established
Mr.. Benefits reputation as a light lance
among the host Of writer's, and he found
ready sale for the poetry and the love
stories which flowed from his pen dur
ing his leisure hours"
A few days ago four well-dressed
men entered a London tavern and had
dinner. When the moment came to
pay they said they had no money with
them, but would leave a valuable dia-
mond ring. A few days later they
called, settled the previous account,
had another dinner, talked to the pro-
prietor, and finally sold him the ring
for 955. He considered that he had
made a good bargin, because while it
had been in his possession he had TAX
en- it to a jeweler, who pronounced it
to be worth 9100. The guest, however,
had on their second visit substituted an
imitation fac-simile for the genuine
ring.

The intellect that directs the bee line

IIIe IHteIlecU uIlHC HIfccUS tlle Dec I1nCS
IN Life, under the caption Of elbow to
Handle Bees" says a bee is not q very
difficult thing to handle. He is as easily
picked up as strawberry, is reasonably
light and c~ompressible. To handle him
is, therefore, q nor song. Any man
can do it. In fact thc more ignorant Of
bees a man is the more easily he can
handle one. The main difficulty seems
to he in quoting the man down after he
has handled a small, but frolicsomc bee.
There have been men known to race
around a 10 acre lot, and eventually lose
their salvation, after handling one bee
for the tenth part of a second. What
the country really needs is an article Oh
how to avoid handling bees"
