Some New York Novelties and Their
Depressing Effects

depressing EIIecCS
New York saloons vie with each
other in producing novel attractions
that will invite guests to visit of
inspection. The latest novelty is in a
saloon on Ann street, where the pro-
prietor has made his entire bar over
which drinks are served into an i'm
mense aquarium. The top is of thick
plate-glass, through which may be
seen goldfish darting through the
water, eels wriggling their snaky
forms back and forth, frogs lying in
wait for succulent flies and bugs, and
tortoises basking lazily on artificial
eminences. Some of the rural dele
gates to the State Democratic Con-
vention, held this week in New York,
have been having fun nights seeing
the town and sampling its fluids, and
late one evening they struck "the
Aquarium" Their guide and men.

away from the bar while he ordered

decanter, his face grew white and his
eyes bulged With his gaze fixed on
an eel 2 feet long he staggered back

Cross has left Raleigh for Gates
county, to remain there until his trial,
in July, for forgery. White, his asso-
ciate in the great crime, is still in Raj
eigh. He is seen daily on the streets.
There are all sorts OF opinions as to the
elimination of these men. Nine peo-
pie out of ten think their conviction a
certainty, of course; the other tenth
believe they may escape punishment.
IF they were acquitted of the charge
they would have to leave at once for
Canada, since if they remained they
could be and would be nabbed for
their offenses against Virginia and
New York laws, and also for embez-
element. White has, since his release
from prison, been much bolder in his
conduct than Cross.-WI. Messen

Jones cast an inquiring glance at
the bar and saw a green bullfrog leer-
ing at him hideously. "Good God,
boys! I've got 'em too !" He howled,
and sank into chair, covering his
eyes with both hands. The rest of the
party stared at their two livid-faced
companions In maudlin astonishment,
and then rushed to the bar for some
decoction to soothe their friends
nerves. Most of them recoiled sud-
denly with terror depicted on their
faces, but one was sober enough to
understand the joke, and bis roars of
laughter soon effected restoration of
the whole party's equanimity. But
the incident sobered up every one of
them, and they sampled no more
fluids that night.

TERRIBLE MISSISSIPPI FLOODS.
Misunderstanding In Tents, Huts,
and In the Open Air.

Misunderstanding In Tents, Huts,
and In the Open Air.
A dispatch from Quincy, Ill. on
Tuesday says: The mighty flood in
the Mississippi, which will be remem-
bered as without precedent in the
destruction and suffering created, is
slowly abating, and it is thought that
the worst of the high water is passed.
But the worst that could happen has
already occurred. Hundreds of fam.
lilies have been rendered homeless,
and thousands of acres of growing
crops ruined, to say nothing of the
loss entailed by demolished dwellings,
wrecked fences, and washouts. From
the northern end of Adams county to
the southern end of Pike county, the
land on the Illinois side of the river
was protected by system of levees-
the region embracing 250,000 acres
and the soil being the richest in the
State. All the region is now one
vast lake from six to ten feet in depth.
Along the bluffs, on the eastern edge
of the submerged district, hundreds of
families are camped, living in tents,
huts and the open air. Before the
flood most of these people were well
to do, prosperous farmers, but now
they have little or nothing. Much
sickness prevails among the unfortun-
ates owing to want and exposure, but
prompt measures have been taken to
alleviate their suffering.
While large majority of the in
habitants fled to the higher lands a
few were not granted time to get
away, or misjudged the character of
the breaks in the levee and determin-
ed to stay with their homes, and are
now living in the garrets or on the
roofs. Every roof has been turned
into a place of refuge Tor live stock
poultry, ETC., but many houses have
been lifted from their foundations and
carried away with the irresistably cur
rent, or demolished entirely The
towns of Fall Creek, See Horn, and
Hulls are but mere islands and hum
dreds of refugees are huddled together
in limited space. Four or five fam
lilies are living in each of the rooms
in the houses above the water and are
suffering intensely.
The damage to railroad property is
enormous and it will be three weeks
after the water subsidies before the
trains can be running ON time. Ow-
ing to the great confusion it is impos-
sible to obtain detailed losses but the
aggregate will reach fully $3,O00,000
The damage to the levees, houses ane
railroads will approximate 100000.

for depressing the price of raw sugar
and increasing the price of the refined
article. Every refinery in the United
States but two, the newspapers tell US,
has been subdued in the same way and
forced to join the combination under
penalty of bankruptcy and ruin. The
Whiskey Trust pursues much the
same policy. One by one these combi-
nations, conspiracies against the public
welfare and the freedom of trade, are
being formed in respect to the produc-
tion and sale of all the leading neces-
saries of life. Step by step the evil
genius of monopoly is nullifying that
freedom of trade among6our own peo-
pie which the policy of our fathers es-
tablished by the constitution, and
which all men, of whatever financial
opinions, admit to be the chief source
OF our prosperity. Strange to say,
whilst this tendency on the part Of
capital to create monopolies and sup
press competition by combination is on
the increase, the tendency OF our legis-
lation and administration of the laws
is to favor it. Their influence in the
enactment and the execution of our
laws seems supreme. Those who IA
vor their enterprises are described as
practical statesmen, devoted to the
business interests of the country,
whilst those who oppose their schemes
as dangerous are called cranks and
demagogues.
Surely this state of things requires
correction. There is conservative
element in our business society as in
our political, and this element should
be invoked. There are those who will
give as we'll as take, live and let live;
who, looking beyond the present
things Of selishness, have respect unto
the recompense of reward who wish
to see our country as free and its laws
as just in fact as they are in theory.
There are citizens who desire to en-
courage to the utmost all the forms
and combinations of capital by which
its great and beneficial powers can be
made to serve our race, and who yet
believe it both wise and patriotic to
restrain it from that extreme use which
crushes the weak, plumbers the public
and nullifies the law.
