Great Salt Lake and the Dead Sea

Great Salt Lake is a shallow body of
water, its average depth being a little
more than three feet, while in many parts
it is much less. The water is transparent,
but excessively salt; it contains about
twenty-five per cent. OF common salt,
slightly mixed with other salts, and form
ing one Of the purest and most coneen-
tiated brines in the world Its specific
gravity is LIT. The water Is so buoyant
that man may float in it at full length
upon his back, having his head and
neck, his legs to Ethe knees, and both
arms to the elbow, entirely out of-water
If he assumes a sitting posture, with his
arms extended, his shoulders will rise
above the water. Swimming, however,
is difficult, as the lower limbs tend to
rise above the surface, and the brine is
50 strong that to swallow even a very
little OF 1t will cause stranguiation. The
waters of the Dead Sea. on the other
hand, are nearly black, and contain much
sulphur aud bitumen, as we'll as salt. 1t
is also very deep, varying from thirteen
feet near the ~s5hth end Of the lake to
more then 800 feet in the northern
part. It's 6uoyancy is quite equal TO
that Of the Great Salt Lake, for travellers
say that a mhn can float prone upon the
surface for Hours without danger OF sink
ing and in sitting position is held
breast high above the water - Inter
Oce0it.

Fighting in the Desert.

The maneuvres of the British in the
desert preparing for the enemy, are thus
described by Cameron:
Continually does the column halt,
.dismount and prepare to meet the enemy,
and ON these occasions there is always a
race between the mounted infantry and
guard regiments as to who shall be first
in square. The formation finally adopted
is this:

Proud to Call Himselfa United States
Farmer.

Senator Williams, OF Kentucky, is
proud to call himself farmer, and he
thinks there is no higher, honorable cali
ing. He is stanch friend OF the agri-
culturists, and during his term has
done vigorous battle for every measure
that has come before the Senate for their
benefit or relief. He says: "After all,
give me the country raised boy The
boy who runs barefooted and stubs the
nails of his toes and gets stone bruises
on his heels grows up in the simple, un-
affected ways of life which make him
the better man. - Washington Star.

Thirty-two Bodies Taken out and
Many More supposed to be in The
Ruins.
VICKsBURG, Miss, April 26.-The work of
exhuming the victims of the recent fire here
was suspended yesterday evening, having
been conducted up to that time by and at the
expense of the Firemen's Charitable associa
ton. All the bodies OF the lost members of
the fire organizations have been recovered
as follows: William R. Mulcahy, secretary
and treasurer of the Vicksburg hook and lad
der company; William j. Phelan, Peter Bar
Der, Washington No. 3, Joseph NJ. Dent of
Constitution No and Daniel Keefe of Phos-
nix No. 3 The work will be continued by
the city government. At the time of the
cessation of work a total of thirty-two bodies
had been recovered according to the report of
the chief of the fire department, who super
vised operations and attended to burying the
dead. The above bodies are the whites re-
covered and identified. Two others are known
to be lost, Claude SYph, age seventeen,
and Charles Hanley. If recovered their
remains could not be identified. The fol-
lowing colored men and boys were identi-
fed: Charles Reed, Richard johnson, John
Pratt, Hayden Kennedy, Eph. Davis The
following colored men were not identified
if recovered: Virgil Claiborne, Clarke E.
Wade and Willie Williams. The remaining
seventeen are unknown, but six are of the
crew of the steamer Belle of Memphis who
were from st. Louis and. are among the
number. It is impossible ia give the six
names as the steamer left for st.
Louis the day after the fire.
One of the unidentified victims
was woman. The burned fremen were
buried by their comrades this afternoon at
O'Clock with becoming ceremonies and hon
ors. The remains of the unidentified VIC
tins of the holocaust were turned over to the
city government for internent. It is be-
ieved many more bodies will be found be-
fore the work of exhuming is finished, as
nearly all those so far found were in one
building. Work will be resumed to-mor-
row.

IN no country was there less of the pulled
arrogance OF wealth and the foolish pride of
olrtn. ana this is the population which
one born IN its bosom, and claiming by yir-
tue OF that accident the right to speak in the
name OF louisiana and the whole South, rep
resents as little better than Gulliver's yahoos
Mr.. Cables Creole always laughs when he
speaks and is in all things an imbecile. The
speaker protested against the Grandissines
and DeGrapions types of his ill bred
Creoles and wondered that the French gov
eminent after prohibiting the settlement of
Huguenots IN Louisiana should have furnish
ed Huguenot file de la Cassette with pas
sage to that colony and with trousseau and
husband upon arrival. What did Mr.. Cable
mean by the sill specimens" of the three races
Indian, Negro and French-From which the
colon1sts took Their wives? Evidently the
least virtuous of each. This is a serious
charge and is not tempered by an article by
tannica in which he says: GA few years after
Its founding New Orleans was little more
than squalid village Of deserted galley
slaves" Never did offspring show such
hostility to his mother as Mr.. Cable has for
New Orleans. The speaker called upon Mr.
Cable to name single one of the old fami-
lies that fell within the blighting radius of
his description. If he cannot he has mali
ciously slandered population that he seems
to hate intensely.
Mr. Gable made the Creoles bitterly .op-
pose the introduction of the English Ian
guage in the State, although in the EtGrandis-
simes'' they used it in their families in pref
erenee to French. They willingly accepted
the jargon of the English-speaiing negro
slave, but rejected the pure English of the
educated white man. According to Mr.
Cable, the Creole is instinctively attracted
to everything low, base and impure,
whether he wishes to choose wife
CT CT language From beginning to end of the
''Grandissimes' the Creoles are represent
ed as the basest population on earth. The
partnership between the two Honori Gran
dissimes, the speaker said. was impossible
and the words of the white brother that Hon
orr was the lawful son by the
laws of God "meant that the black
mistress of white man by
Gods justice was lawful wife and her
child legitimate, while the white woman to
whom he was legally married was only
paramount. y The speaker concluded by thank
ing Mr.. Cable for the few compliments he
had unconsciously paid the Creoles and took
lease of him finally preferring that he be left
to the judgment of the "Americans" of
Louisiana

A TYPHOID FEVER EPIDEMIC.
Sufferings of the Inhabitants of
Penn&YlVania Mining TaxUu

SuHeFlnSs of the Inhabitants of q
Pennsylvania Mining Town.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, April 26.-An cpl
demle OF typhoid fever is ravaging the town
OF Plymouth, few miles from here. Al
ready over one thousand cases are reported,
and the disease is spreading with fearful
rapidity. So far thirty-six fatalities are re-
ported, and during yesterday thirteen died.
Inc epidemic partakes somewhat of the
character of malariaI fever In its early
stages the symptoms are slight feyerishness,
thirst and chills. In the latter stages, how
ever, the marked symptoms of typhoid fever
show themselves, and peritonitis is
frequent concomitant and invari-
ably results in death The disease
IS attributed chiefly to the unhealthy
condition of the town and the entire absence
Oh ali sanitary arrangements. There is not a
paved street or properly constructed drain
IN the town, and, except along one portion of
Main street, not sewer in the whole bor-
ough. The town is situated partly on the
Hats by the river bank and partly on the hill
above, and, though the disease is more VIC
lent and universal in the lower portion, it al
SO prevails on the hillsides. The drainage
from the houses is collected in cesspools,
which are never emptied, but when one is
40
alleys are the common receptacles of garb-
age and offal of all kinds, and in every vacant
lot ashes and garbage accumulate. Some
portions of the town also derive their water
from wells which are more or less polluted
The physicians, of whom there are thirteen
in the town, are kept busy day and night,
and can hardly get time to eat or sleep They
find it impossible to attend to all their pa
tients properly, and have appealed to the
County Medical society for aid The resi-
dents of the town are in a terrible state of
CONSERVATION. They are utterly powerless to
grapple with the disease, which has entered
nearly every household. The distress and
despair in some families are narrowing. AS
a rule, the residents of Plymouth are
of the poorest class, nearly all being
miners and 1aborers. In many Instances both
father and mother are Frustrated with the
disease, and were it not for the generous aid
of neighbors, scarcely more fortunate than
themselves, their poor children would starve.
In some instances where the father has died
the whole family has been forced to seek
sustenance in the poorhouse. They are hop
ing for cold weather as the only thing that
will allay the disease and give them time to
take some sanitary measures before the heat
of summer. A public meeting is talked of,
when some general plan of action will be de-
cided on

THE FLOODS IN TEXAS.
Hundreds of Families Driven From
Home And Great Destruction of


Home Ana Great Destruet1oIf of
Property.
DALLAS, Tex, April 26.-The great rise
in the Trinity river caused by the five hours
deluge Friday night on the headwaters is
now rushing down and the river is like a
sea. The damage to property along the
stream is immense and the suburbs of the
city are submerged. Hundreds of families
have been driven from their homes, the
water reaching nearly to the roofs in many
cases. The greatest alarm prevails as there
are no indications where the inundation will
stop. The Houston and Texas Central, the
Texas Trunk and the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe railroads were forced to
suspend operations last night The
Missouri Pacific suspended on Tuesday
last and the Texas and Pacific road is alone
in partial operation. Four immense railroad
bridges and the public bridge over the 1rini-
ty river at this point are in danger of being
swept away Their aggregate cost amounts
to 100000. Ebenezer Wilkins was
drowned four miles below the city last night
Lemuel Alcorn, boatman, was drowned be-
tween Dallas and Fort Worth YESTERDAY
morning and a young lady, whose name was
not learned, was drowned in White Rock
creek near this city to-day
AUSTIN, TEX, April 26.-The first train
SINCE Thursday arrived yesterday over the
International railroad. passengers report
terrific hail storm Friday night about mid
night near Taylor, forty miles east of here
The hail stones were very large and broke
the headlight of the locomotive and coach
windows and badly battered the tops and ex
posed sides of the cars. In the track of the
storm farms were undoubtedly devastated
aud it is probable that a large number of
sheep were killed as it is wool-growing
country. The Colorado river is still slowly
falling, but reports from the west indicate
another disastrous rise
