Henvy Rains and Fogs.

NEW YORK. Feb. 12.-Heavy rains and
fogs continue here and along the Atlantic
coast in both directions. Navigation in
this harbor was extremely difficult, but so
far no collisions have been reported, except
one between two ferry boats. In tine
neghborhood OF Boston it has been raining
for forty-eight hours and great damage has
resulted in the city from flooding.
In one concern 800 men are
thrown out of work. At James
burg, Y. J., two railroad bridges
were washed away and other damage done.
The steady downpour of rain for forty-eight
hours has melted the snow in the Calabas,
and fears of destructive flood are felt in
the neighborhoOd of Kingston. n. Y. The
Hudson river is very high. The lower part
of New Brunswick, Y. j.. is under water
and the merchants were compelled to 90
about in boats. The water has never been
so high there except during the flood Of

The schuyIkiII AMBITIOUS.

READING, Pa, Feb. 12.-The Schuyl-
kill river at this point is ten feet above low
water mark and still rising at the rate of
six inches an hour. An immense ice gorge
formed about midnight at Shomakers-
vile. fifteen miles north of here. Large
blocks of ice were piled many feet high,
and when the wafer rose the ice
was pushed on the adjoining low lands,
sweeping away fences and outbuildings and
overlooking many farms and flooding the
houses. The gorge broke away this
forenoon, leaving vast stretch of country
a great field of ice. The river below Read
ing is twelve feet above low water mark.
AT Leesport, ten miles north, another
dangerous gorge formed, but channel was
opened and the ice moved away. Mt.
Laurel, stream emptying in the Schuyl-
kill, was never higher than now.

A dramatic society in Little Rock decided
to introduce into one Of their plays rough
character whose business it should be to
terrorize everything in sight The manager
of the dramatic society said he knew the
very man who could make the character a
brilliant success. He had his eye on lank

Trenton Inundated.

TRENTON, n. j., Feb. 12.-The rains of
the past few days have caused the ice in
Delaware river to break at Vaudeville,
Pa, and the lower portion of Trenton is
submerged. On Fair and Bridge streets the
water is even with the second stories of
the houses. and the occupants have sought
safety on the upper floors. The bridge
across Assanpink creek has been carried
away. The damage TO furniture. resi-
dences and mills will be very heavy.
Travel on the Pennsylvania railroad be-
tween this city and New York is suspended.
Locomotives have been run on to the
bridges in order to prevent their being
swept away. The residents paddle the
streets in boats IN the locality of Washing
ton, Warren and Factory streets. Such a
flood has not been experienced here since

Remarkable Rainfall.

BOSTON, Mass. Feb. 12.-The present
rainstorm, which at midnight still contin-
ues, is most remarkable one and in some
respects unprecedented. The rainfall has
been very great, that at Newport OF from
six to eight inches in twenty-four hours
being the heaviest. but a scarcely lighter
dOwn-pOur is reported elsewhere. In
Worcester county of this state and at points
in New Hampshire and Maine the rain has
turned to ice and much damage has been
done to shade trees. telegraph lines,
etc. AT Nashua, Fitchburg, Lowell,
Amesbury, Marlboro, Leominster and Clin-
ton many streets have been rendered nearly
impossible by broken boughs. and damages
in some places are said TO be nearly equal
10 those of the ice storm of the 29th. AT
other points there has been no freezing,
but the floods have worked even more dis
aster. Streets have been turned into
brooks. city squares into ponds, easements
into cisterns and the lowlands of the coun-
try side into lakes. At Shrewsbury the
soldiers monument was destroyed by a fall
ing tree. Between Fall river and Trenton
bridge the old COllery road was washed out
in places. At OlreyYille three mills had TO
be shut down because of water in the engine
rooms or wheel pits. The Connecticut and
other rivers are very high and steadily ris-
ing and people living on the banks are
mOmemtarily expecting a breakup of the
ice, which if it comes must work great
damage.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Feb. lathe Unsuitable pub
lie demand for hero or for victim, is be-
ing flushed to safety. The rapidity with
which startling events have transpired In
this country within twenty months is re-
maTkable. We have swung so rapidly
from event to event since the great pOIit-
ical demonstration of 1884, and the aston
ishment with which new and untried man
entered the White house, that we have
hardly had time TO think. Hero worship
has its ill in the death of Grant and Hen
bricks. and Mcclellan and Seymour, and
the afflictiOn of the Bayard family fur
nished additional sensation. The terrible
arraignment of Attorney General Garland
has furnished q victim for whose
immolation the clamor has been stopped
for moment while we bury Hancock, the
superb, and Seymour, the magnanimous.
There has been so much display in all these
events that the thoughtful wish of states
men is to give Deaths latest victims quiet
burial The great pageants which were
witnessed in the funerals of Lincoln and
Garfield and Grant have been found TO be
temporary eXpediencies to

write of a funeral as an amusement yet
that is the true definitions of these monster
professions of horsemen, carriages, soldiers
and black-draped catafalques. The dis
contented masses get holiday of sight
seeing and grow contented for brief
period. There has been danger that they
would demand too much of this sort of see
ing, and if it was not forthcoming would
create it through their Guiteaus or worse.
The next public man we will be called
upon to bury, if reports are true, is Samuel
j. Tilden. He celebrated yesterday at
Greystone his 72d birthday. John Bigelow,
his friend and historian, who sailed for
Panama to-day TO inspect the Panama canal
at the joint request of Count de Lesseps
and the New York chamber of commerce,
says Mr.. Tilden is in good health. and that
his mind is as clear as ever. The latter
may be true, but others who saw him say
that the hand of death is already on his
feeble frame. A nephew of Senator Vance
of North Carolina. who was at Greystone
on Monday on business, told me tonight
that he expects the great civilian to be in
his coffin within six months.
