A Prominent Merchant in Trouble.

Old moneybags mopes in his Office all day,
As snappsh and cross as q bear;
The clerks know enough To keep out of his way,
Lest the merchant should grumble and swear.
Even Tabby, the cat, is in fear of cuff,
Or kick, if she ventures too near;
They all know the master is apt to be rough,
Aud his freaks unexpected and queer.
What makes the old fellow so surly and grim,
And behave so confoundedIy mean2
There's certainly something the matter with
him
Is it stomach, or liver, or spleen?
We've guessed this liver is sluggish and bad
His blood is disordered and foul,
It's enough to make any one hopelessly mad.
And greet his best friend with a growl.
The worldwide remedy, DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, will correct disordered
liver and purify the blood, tone your system
and build up your flesh and strength.

ut is a pity" says the HusJandman, " to
break up an Old sod firmly set with good grasses,
but weeds viii creep in, and once established
they encroach more and more, until at last the
plow must be employed" About the weeds
creeping in, if the sod is " firmly set (" and re-
ceives proper top-dressing occasionally, as it
should, there is little room for weeds to creep
in" 1t is the running out of a sod for want of
proper and sufficient nourishment that affords
the opportunity for a growth of weeds
which, when they once get a hold, are likely to
spread.

General Disaster in Arkansas.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, May 1S.-Heavy
rains the past two days in the Upper
Arkansas valley have done great dam
age. Gazette specials tonight say that
nearly all the small streams tributary to
the Arkansas river have overlooked and
railway traffic greatly retarded. Two
bridges on the Frisco Road, south Of the
Boston mountains are badly damaged by
the washing away Of approaches snd so
weakening the structures as to prevent
trains passing. No St. Louis trains have
reached Fort Smith since "Wednesday
hight and none are expected over
the Frisco before Sunday or Monday.
On the valley route below Fort Smith the
bridge is badly damaged over Frog bayou,
and the passenger train due at the former
point from Little Rock Thursday has not
arrived. Considerable damage is reported
by wsshouts to the new road between the
Arkansas line and Fort Gibson, I. T.
Trains are running regularly between
Fort Smith and Paris, Tex, the damage
to that end of the Frisco line being re-
psired. Many farms are submerged.
In the creek bottoms near Alma, ARR,
hundreds of acres Of corn and cotton are
under water. Less Of life Is reported, but
nothing authentic.

which poured through the crevasse in
the levees. They are living as best
they can, existing only until charity
which is already widespread can be
made available for their relief. How
many of these distressed people there are
within the Sny levee cannot be told. 1t
will be with the greatest difficulty
thai some Of them can be
reached. The roade, the hills
and the little hamlets are thronged
with them, but the waters have cut eff
access to several Of the communities
most in need Of help.
One Of the most important results of
the trip is found in the report Of the in
spect on Of the damages to railroad prop
erty on the Illinois side OF the river which
has not heretofore attracted marked at
tention. The Burlington and Wabash
roads east Of Hannibal are washed out
for thousand yards or more and the
tracks are covered with water the entire
distance. in the shy district.
The damage to railroad property
there will be enormous and
the interruption Of traffic ON both roads
will be disastrous. Communication be-
tweer Hannibal and the east is entirely
cut OF and can't be restored for many
days. The branches Of the @ leading TO
Hannibal and Louisiana are washed out
fer miles, bridges and culverts being en-
tirely carried away. The force OF the
Hood inside OF the levee WAS much greater
than previous reports would
indicate, hundreds of farm houses and
other buildings being swept away and de-
molished.
