were so high that no communlcs ton
could De had with the East and to
day the first dispatches were sent out.
The stores in town We're closed
Yesterday and every citiz=n engaged
in the work of rescuing citizens in
boats and RATS from their perilOus
positions in trees and from house
tops. This work was extremely
hazardous and by night fall there

A WORD TO GIRLS.

Girls listen to this, and with viz
tuous resolve demand as your right a
true love.
Young men of bad habits and fast
tendencies never like to marry a girl
of their own sort, but demand wife
above suspicion. So pure, sweet wo-
men, kept from the touch of evil
through girlhood, give themselves,
with all their costly dover OF woman
hood into the keeping of men who, in
base association have learned to I'M
dervalue all that belongs to them, and
then find no repentance in the sad
after years.
There is but one way out of this,
and that is for you to require in as
sociations and marriages, purity for
purity, sobriety and honor for honor.
There is no reason why the young
men should not be just as pure as
young women, and if the loss of your
society be the price they are to pay
for vice, they will not pay it. This
is plain, sensible talk, and just such
as ought to be needed by all our
boys and girls, till the much needed
reformation is established. Too much
of the happiness or misery of our chill
dren depends on this for it to pass
without producing deep reflection and
action in the right direction.

WHAT Is A BILLION.

What is a billion? The reply is
simple enough. A million time a
million. This is quickly written and
still more quickly pronounced. Very
few, however, have the true concep-
ton of what a billion is. While on
the subject at Crawford & Co.'S drug
store yesterday, a gentleman gave the
following definition, which may add
to the comprehension of what an inn
mense sum billion really is. Said
he: "You may count 100 or 40 a
minute, but let us suppose that you
go as high as two hundred minute,
then an hour will produce 10000, IA
day 288, 900, and year, or 365 days,
l0j, 100000. Let us suppose, then,
that Adam, at the beginning of his
existence, had began to count, had
continued to do so, and was count
ing still, he would not even now,
according to the generally supposed
date of Adams creation, (5,645 years.
have counted enough to make bill
lion. To count billion would re-
quire 9,512 years, thirty-four days,
five hours and twenty minutes, at the
above mentioned rate of POO a min
ute."

WEALTH IN THE SOUTH.

The New York Mail and Express
In an article on the south and the
worlds exposition at New Orleans
makes the following assertions which
no doubt astonished many at the
north and will appear incredible to
many at the south: "IIow few north
ern men realized, for instance, that
In the six months of this year s70.-
O00,0O0 were expended in the cree
ton and extension of southern facto-
ries! Yet this is the undoubted,
verified, marvellous fact. How few
IN this region are prepared to learn
that the assessable values of the south
have increased S640,000,000 in the
past four years! Yet these are trust
worthy figures. How many of our
people knew, or dreamed, that the
south had $40 cotton factories, with
100000 new spindles? How many
knew that in Alabama, Georgia, Ar
kansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and
West Virginia, the output of coal
was increased from 100000 tons in
1870 to 100000 tons in 1880? How
many knew that in Alabama, Geor-
gia, Tennessee, Virginia and West
Virginia the output of iron ore rose
from 10000 tons in 1870 to SIS, 900
tons in 1892"

In northern Siberia, ii native de-
sires to marry, he goes to the father
of the girl of his choice, and price is
agreed upon, one-half of which:is then
paid down. The prospective son-in-
law at once takes up his residence
with the family of his lady love, and
resides with them a year. If at the
end of a year he still desires to marry
the girl he can pay the other half, and
they are married on the next visit of
the priest. If he does not want to
marry he need not, and simply loses
the half he paid at the start.

The letter of Gov. Cleveland on
the execution by him ofthe civil ser
vice reform law takes the position
that faithful government officials in
subordinate positions should not be
removed on account of their politics
merely, but that their partisan at
tempts to control elections by the use
of the patronage Of the government for
that purpose constitutes good cause
of removal. That will touch most Of
them in the South.
