HIGHEST FOR MANY YEARS.
Deplorable Loss of Property by the
Mad Mississippi.

QUINCY, ILL.,, May 1S.-The great
flood that now prevails along the
Mississippi has been equaled but once,
the single exception being in 1851. Ten
days ago, the water reached the danger
point, and from that time has been ris-
ing steadily at the rate of from four to
fourteen inches daily. The Govern
ment gauge now marks 10 feet, 9inches;
being inches higher than during the
great flood of 1881. Above and below
Quincy are over one hundred miles of
levees for the protection of fully two
hundred thousand acres of land, the
most productive farming lands in the
valley.
On Sunday morning the first break
occurred in one of these great embank-
ments known as the Indian Grove
Leyee. During the day two other
crevasses were made, and within a few
hours thousands of acres of winter
wheat that promised yield of from
forty to sixty bushels to the acre were
laid waste. The farmers had been
working on the embankment night
and day in the hope of saving their
homes, and when the flood came
majority of them had barely time to
save their families, so sudden and over
whelming was the onrush of the tor
rents. Outside the embankment was
the great river, a solid body of water
twenty feet deep, and as soon as a
crevasse was made it'poured through
the opening with roar that could be
heard long distance.
Every moment increased the width
of the crevasse and the great flood that
was to carry destruction in its path
way. Thrifty homes were deserted on
q moments notice from riders who
were sent out to give warning of the
danger, in many cases the people being
obliged to leave everything and fly to
the bluffs to seek safety in boats. On
Monday the Sny Carte Levee, an en-
bankment, commencing just below
Quincy and extending south distance
of 54 miles, gave way between Hanni-
bal and Louisiana, and the scenes en-
acted the day previous were repeated
and intensified. Early in the week the
Alexandria Levee, thirty miles above
Quincy, gave way, completely flooding
that thrifty city.
Yesterday a crevasse was made In the
Sny Levee at East Hannibal, followed
soon after by another break a mile
south, and last night the destruction in
all the levee districts was complete
Not an acre of ground in this vast terri
tory can escape the food, and the loss
to farming interests is simply incalcu
liable. Cattle and horses in the fine
wooded pastures, were overwhelmed IL
many localities and drowned. The
river above and below the city is from
ten to fifteen miles broad, covering al
the farms on both sides and extending
from the bluffs on the Illinois side tt
the high bluffs in Missouri. The scene
of dissolution between Quincy ant
Hannibal is simply pitiable.

A Curious Composition.

1 send unique composition, which
was originally published in Philadel-
phia paper over hundred years ago.
It may be read three different ways.
First, let the whole be read in the order
in which it is written; second, read the
line downward on the left of each COM
ma in every line; third, in like manner
on the right of each comma. In the
first reading the Revolutionary cause
is condemned, and by the Others en-
couraged and lauded:
Harki bark! the trumpet sounds the din Of wars
alarms;
O'er seas and solid grounds doth call MS all TO arms.
who for King George doth stand, their honors soon
ahall shine;
Their ruin is at hand who with the Congress join.
The acts OF Parliament, in them much delight;
hate their cursed intent who for the Congress fight
The Tories of the day, they are my daily toast;
They soon will sneak away who independence boast
Who non-resistance hold, they have my hand and
heart.
May they for slaves be sold who act the whiggish
part.
On Mansfield, North and Butte, may daily blessings
pour;
To North and British lords may honors still be done
wish block or cord to General w ashington.

A Modern Miracle

Mrs. ]. W. Wentworth. of Elkhart, Ind,
was long subject to pain in the side, shortness
of breath, weakness, pain in the side, slight
cough, swelling of the ankles and other
symptoms of serious heart disease. She was
expected to die at any time. Doctors in New
York, Toledo, etc., failed to help her. But two
bottles of Dr. Miles New Cure for the heart
cured her three years ago and she has re-
mained well ever since. Heart disease can
be cured. Sold by /. Leist.

The Great BIutberry Bog In Northern Waldo.

Leroy l.. Libby writes To the Pnt~ field AdvcrtiS
1t will undoubtedly be Il matter Of interest to
your numerous readers in the vicinity of Northern
Waldo TO know something OF the extent and loca
ton of the bIucberry bog located between Burn
ham and Troy at the inlet of the Twenty five mile
pond (so-caledD
This bog or morass contains nearly l,0Go acres
marked on the maps as blue sky, Yet an ownership
has been granted by possession, which now is con
ce(lcd by all to lie vested in Mrs. Margarc. Ben
nett of Troy, whose ladyshp will form your ac-
quaintance before you have tangled your feet long
in the bushes, or have tasted very many of her
delicious berries. And he to the unlucbv
ulchin, or, for that, the full grown man or
woman, who has rentured on to the bog without
the very essential dime, the fixed price of pick.
One look from the honest, bronzed countcnanre of
the female owner of these hundreds of acres of
fruit bearing shrubs, is sufficient to cause spas
modc jerk of the hand for the cash pocket which
if found empty and the fact made known, the un-
lucky respasscr will clutch at the air and pray for
a balloon, for up they must 90. A glance of her
eye means pay or get.
1 was informed by this lady owner that the aver
age yield per day of her bog about twenty
five bushels, and the annual income WAS not far
from fifty dollars. As l agreed to write up the
blueberry ranch | was allowed to rcvel in the
luxury Of all these fine fat berries have all could
cat free of cost, besides promise of free pass
for the editor of the Advertiser. And with that
days experience ! can cordially recommend it to
be a fine spot for an invalid or a dyspeptc. The
effort of selecting tcn-quart pail full of good
large berries from the smaller ones one wishes
to tio who pays ten cents for the days privilege
get our moneys worth is desirable to all, and the
stopping position the picker is obliged to occupy.
both tend to give elasticity to the back and to
a vacuum that no remedy is more applicable or
efficient than old-fashioned baked beans. So my
parting injunction is try Mrs Margaret Benz ett's
blueberry bog, and be sure and he prepared with
the dime rather than ruin your health paying a
larger sum for some poisonous patent medicine or
languishing away in some close curtained parlor,
denying yourselves the curative properties of a
| scorching sun surrounded by the beautiful floral
| display Of the blueberry bogs.
