PRINCIPAL STREET, ALEXANDRIA, MO.
The late food presented many curious
sights From the high front of Keokuk the
spectator looked over a vast turbi1 lake, COM

the high bluffs many miles from the river,
as it did in the quaternary age The govern

steamers ran over the rapids with no diff

Alexandria, the most northern town in Mis-
souri,, was turned into Venice; the people

several days. At least $1,000 acres of fine
bottom land were submerged on the Missouri
side, with immense destruction to live stock

But the greatest destruction was Of the
great "Sny levee," which was completed
some dozen years ago, at a cost Of near ST.

Illinois legislature were declared void by the

Something About Recent and Historical
Elooals of the Mlssissippi River.

Something About Recent and Historical
Floods Of the Mississippi River.
At Hannibal City, Mo-, the Mississippi Is
exactly one mile wide at ordinary level ''be
tween ferry stakes" as the riparian residents
say. At Keokuk, La, the width varies sud-
denly, as the rapids cause sudden widening
and narrowing-the river making great q
towards the west-and that city is usually
assumed as the head Of the lower Mississippi,
geologically speaking. It is only below those
rapids that we hear often Of such mighty
floods as those which have lately inundated
400 square miles Of Illinois and Missouri, and
still threaten destruction to all the low land
dwellers between Memphis and the Gulf.
Above the rapids, at which Prophet Joe
Smith located his religious capital, Nauvoo,
with the idea that a wing dam would be con-
structed and great manufacturing city
built, the river occasionally rises high; but
the low lands are 50 narrow and bor-
dering bluffs so high that little damage is
done and the world hears but little about it
Below that point, about once ip seven years
on an average, there is a flood like those we
read about in eastern mythology. That Of
1851 surpassed all before it Of which white
men have records, and the recent flood outdid
that Of 1851 OF course the Indians have q
tradition Of much greater floods, and 1t IS
quite likely they are correct; for the Mound
Builders" works show plainly that they had
to locate on higher ground than the riparian
residents Of today. These immense spring
floods are generally due to late thaw1ng Of
the snow and ice Of the far north, contem-
porary with or followed Immediately by

ne engaged IN that remarkable discussion H
Salt Lake City, with Orson Pratt, the Nor
mon apostle. DR.. Newman delivered a sermon
in Washington which was generally taken a.
an official utterance Of the purposes of tho
administration towards the Mormons, and
their church paper, The Deseret News, de-
nounced him for attacking that people at a
distance, suggesting that he come out and
meet one Of their champions in debate. Dr..
Newman promptly accepted the challenge,
and after much ''sparring for position"
Brigham Young put forward Orson Pratt,
the only man of any learning in that COM
munity, and the debate came of in the sum-
mer Of 1870, in the great tabernacle of the
Mormon capital. The question broadly stated
was, Does the Bible sanction polygamyl The
debate continued through three days, each-
champion taking an hour of each day. Some
Of DR.. Newman's admissions gave Apostle
Pratt rather free course. The Mormon judg-
ment of tho debate may be seen from the
fact that they published 1t in full as ''can-
paign document"
In 1874 DIR. Newman was appointed inspec-
tor Of United States consulships in Asia and
made a tour around the world. On his re-
turn he was again appointed to the Metro
politan church in Washington and was after
wards transferred to the Central church in
that city. In the winter of 1882 he accepted
a unanimous invitation to become pastor of
Madison Avenue Congregational church in
New York, where he served for two years
and then resigned. Bishop Newman is best
known as the pastor who ministered to Cen
Grant in his last illness. He has been thrice
elected to the general conference of the
church and has considerable reputation as
an author. His principal works are "From
Dan to Beersheba, +" Babylon and Nineveh'
and america for Americans" While his
election was in doubt he sat in conspicuous
position in box in the lower tier of the
opera house, and as each ballot showed de-

DOM PEDRO II.

EMPRESS OF BRAZIL.
ever, private associations were formed at
Rio de Janeiro for the purpose of redressing
the immigrants wrongs and giving them in
formation upon arrival, es is done under SIM
liar circumstances at Castle Garden, New
York, and immigration, principally from
Germany and Switzerland, is now taking
place, aided by the Brazilian government,
which pays part of each immigrants pas
sage money.
Dom Pedro has been abroad great deal
since 1871 At that time he left his empire
under the regency of his eldest daughter,
Isabella, and made an extended tour through
the United States, the continent Of Europe
and England. He is related to nearly every
reigning family in Europe, but is extremely
republican in his habits Instead Of crossing
the water in an imperial steamer, he has been
accustomed to use the same conveyance as
ordinary mortals.
-Four children Of Dom Pedro are alive, the
eldest being Donna Isabelle, at the present
time the princess regent in Brazil. She was
born July 29, 1916, and was married Oct Is,
1864, to the Comte d'Eu, by whom she has
three children, the Oldest being Prince Pedro,
born at Rio de Janeiro, Oct. Is, 1875. In
case of Dom Pedros death Princess Isabelle
will be empress, since, according to the Bra
lillian constitution, the heir to the throne is
the oldest child without distinction of sex
King Louis l, of Portugal, was born Oct
81, 1888, and is consequently nearly 80 years
of age. In 1861 his brother, Pedro V, king
of Portugal, upon the breaking out Of yellow
fever in Portugal applied himself to the as
s:stance of his stricken subjects, and died
from exposing himself to the disease. Pedro
had inaugurated wise policy for remedying
the unfortunate condition of the finances
consequent upon the wars through which
Portugal had passed during the earlier part
of the present century. Louis, after his &C.
cession to the throne, continued to tighten
the public burdens and promote the arts of
peace. In 1868 he abolished slavery in the
Portuguese colonies In 1866 and in 1872 he
instituted exhibitions in Oporto, and in 1873
succeeded in consolidating the floating debt.
However, Portugal, at one time one Of the
two great rival nations Of the Spanish penin-
sula, like her neighbor Spain, has almost en-
tirely lost her position as power. While
she has been retrograding, her former colony
Brazil has been gaining. While Louis has
had worn old narrow strip Of land to work
upon, Dom Pedro has had a rich and fertile
territory, productive Of coffee, sugar, india
rubber, dye woods, wool and other articles
which are staple, and with proper cultiva-
tion are extremely profitable With immi-
grafton, peace and agriculture, there is no
reason why Brazil should not continue in her
prosperity Perhaps some day she may take
her old mother Portugal under her protec-
ton and provide for the little old lady in
true filial style.
King Louis will be succeeded by Prince
Charles of Braganza, whose wife is the Prin-
cess Amelie of Orleans.
