Providence, r. l., February l3.--
The damage by the floods in this city
and State is almost Unprecedented

precedented. 1t this city the fall has
been nearly six inches in awo days,

a vast amount of minor damage has
been done in 'many parts of New
England, especially to roads and
bridges, causing irksome delays to
travel. At FoxbOro, Mass, the dam
at Freeman's woolen mill is gone, and
the mill has been swept away. The
Union straw works are flooded, and
Canton Bros. & BiXby's straw works
are tottering. At Canton, Kingley's
iron works, the Washington mill and
the Revere Copper Company's works
are more or less flooded and in danger
of destruction. Outward traffic on the
Boston and Providence rail
road is suspended, owing to
numerous washouts. The burst
ing of the StOney Brook sewer
on Clay street, Boston highlands,
last night, caused the confdement
of Stoney brook within too narrow
limits. A section of the city covering
nearly a square mile, was overhowed,
flooding the easements of all dwell
ings and stores, driving the residents
into. the upper stories and causing a
loss of S15000O. Several hundred
families 3Te affected, and several fac
tories at Brockton and outlying lands
are flooded. Many easements are
flooded, and the loss is $4,000. At
Peabody the water is four feet deep on
Washington street, and the flood is
the werst ever known. The loss will
reach S50,OOO In Middlesex county
the rivers and streams are higher than
for ten years, and many mills have
shut down. At Taunton the Old
Colony railroad refuses to sell tickets
to most points on its line. Business
men are moving their stocks to safe
place. Over 100 men are engaged in
trying to save Morris bridge dam,
which, if lost, will entail unpre-
cedented ruin and disaster. A
wall of rock and cotton waste
has been erected 100 feet on
each side, but the water is pouring
over the road three feet deep. Some
factories are in danger of floating. At
East Weymouth every factory is closed.
Whitman's pond dam is on the point
of giving way. This will food the
entire valley. The track of the flood
is strewi with all manner of debris,
including dead fowls and animals. At
Concord, N. H., and further north,
the telephone and telegraph wires are

damage on every hand The snow is
rapidly disappearing, and the wsrst is

feet the main street is under water to
o depth OF thirty-six inches. Twenty
tanneries are flooded, and several
families have been rescued in boats.

The candidacy of Mr.. James Phe-

Disastrous Floods I'm miOent Along
the Upper altssIssippi.

ALTON, Ill, February l3.-A dis
astrous flood is imminent along the
Mississippi unless the weather turns
colder and locks up the Overtlowing
streams now pouring their torrents
into the Mississippi. This river is
now almost at flood hight, but is still
frozen solid, with the ice gorged in
many places clear to the bottom.
There is probably at present .as much
ice in the river between here and st.
Louis as was ever before known. The
Missouri and many smaller streams
emptying into it were reported break
ing up yesterday, and the same report
comes from the northern part of this
State. In respect to streams tributary
to the Mississippi and the Illinois, un-
less these northern floods are checked
by cold weather, until the present
high water in the Mississippi runs out,
great flood seems inevitable. All
depends upon the weather in North
ern Illinois, Iowa and Missouri for the
next week. The river here rose nine
inches last night, and is still coming

Buried Treasures in Silesia.

Some laborers digging out sand lately
near Sacran, in the Gels district, in ST.
lesia, found, about six feet below the
surface, in space hemmed around by
large stones, quantity of valuable OBJ
jects, including many gold, silver and
copper ornaments, with some porcelain,
glass and bronze. There was bronze
stand over a meter high, adorned with
numerous figures, apparently suited for
hanging u kettle or pot; with it some
exquisitively polished and engraved
glass plates and some quite rude barbar-
ic gold ornaments. Most probably it
was plumber taken in war, hidden
away by some one who could never re-
turn for ii. Some precious articles dis
appeared during the first few hours
after discovery, but the rest has been
taken possession of for the Silesian

Not Dead But Departed.

1t is said that in the Scottish High
lands they never speak of the departed
as dead" A Highlander once gave
great offense to the daughter of friend
by asking her: "Cuin bhasarch 'ur n
athair?' ("When did your father
dieP") "Brutes alone she angrily
exclaimed, Idle, and, when they die,
are dead." Human beings wo-
men and children--do not die, and are
not to be spoken of as dead. They de-
part, they 60, they change, they sleep,
if you like, or are gathered unto their
fathers. The phraseology in which the
death of human beings, as distinct from
brutcs, is expressed in Gaelic, invariably
implies continued existence. Dr.. SteO-

1t takes many months of drill and of
active service in the field to give SOL
der such command of himself that he
can resist the temptation to run when
he meets a sudden danger. Some men
can never be trained to that point, but
the nerves of good soldier become as
steady as steel wires, and he is never
guilty of yielding to panic.
When the Arabs made their brilliant
charge upon General McNeil's zareba,
few miles from Suakin, a Captain,
while forming his men, was carried
bodily away by the rush of stampeded
camels, mules and camp-followers.
His sergeant major, an old soldier, with
self-control that no danger could de-
stroy, stuck close by his Captain.
When he found that they were hemmed
in and borne away by the crowd of
frightened men and beasts, he said, in
deep, sepulchral tones:
1--WE shall be in Suakin presently at
this rate, sir. | think it is time for me
to make a little clearing"
Pulling out his saber, he began prod
ding with it at the rear of men and
beasts, accompanying each prod with a
growl: "Just make little room there,
will you, heren' With each "here!" the
point of his sword conveyeda sharp and
stern admonition, so effectual that a
road was soon cleared for himself and
his Captain to struggle out OF the ruck
and gain the za;eba.
Another soldier, finding himself GER
tain to be speared by the pursuing
Arabs, threw himself down under a
bush and pretended to be dead. An
Arab turned him over with the spear;
but as the man did not vince when its
point touched him, the Arab thought
