TSees-Anects tho Rivers.
rom the Atlanta Constitution
The disastrous flood now sweeping
through the Mississippi valley may not be
he greatest one on record, but there is
nothing in this supposition to afford any
pomiort Of those who have lost everything
by the present visitation.
In various parts OF the country, for many
ears past, the floods and the losses caused
by them have been steadily increasing. OF
.purse, explanations have been offered,
Ind nearly all Of them fail 10 satisfactorily

ongry waters.
| 4 Perhaps the favorite theory Is the one
hitch ascribes this threatening state OF
1airs 10 the wholesale destruction OF our
8mber supply. More than once in these
columns the salient proofs OF this theory
1ayo been given. II Is well known that
|nhen the slopes OF water courses are
hickly wooded, the shade OF the trees II

kround Is covered with thick layers OF

takes time for the wnter 10 penetrate
Through all this covering, and II finds its
way gently and by slow degrees 10 the
|strcams and rivers. IL Is no with the deep
hows Of the north and west when they
melt in the spring. There Is no immense
volume Of water turned loose all at once

Eisappearance OF the forests, however, all

onper cover the bleak hillsides, and every
shower, or deluge, or snow thaw plungcs
hcadlong with mad fury down the slopes
Of the valleys until the streams and rivers,
unable 10 carry Off such tremendous vol.
umc. overflow their banks, and millions oil

Scientists and close observers declare
that Tho evil Is growing worse, and the
next generation will find the situation UNI

hillsides OF their trees. When those WI

4 Whether II be in the natural or political
atmosphere, or whether it be a special
|l|spensation of providence TO punish the
hateful wickedness rife in this section OF
be globe, it is nevertheless fact that de-
nngement of minds is on the increase.
6ince the LIST Of January last there have
been between twenty-five and thirty pa
tents received at the county poor and in
Rne asylums. OF these about 4 half
oxen have been consigned to its walls
Turing the past month.
While on recent visit to Nashville,
DR.. Gragg, the superintendent and physi-
ian in charge OF the asylum, visited the
Btate institution, to familiarize himself
With the methods employed there in the
are and treatment OF patients. OF course
bere is no comparison between the facil-
ies OF the two institutions. That at the
hpital is especially designed for the in
hne, and contains all that science and
Experience have brought to light for this
lass OF unfortunates. BY this means
lures are effected wherever there is q pos
ibility OF il. The State has been and is
very liberal in preparing accommodations
or its helpless wards and giving them
he fullest advantages for recovery. In
his great deal OF the expense is borne
by relatives and friends OF the inmates,
who would not for moment be content
<re anything left undone to bring about
complete restoration TO mental healthful-
hess.
DIR. Gragg was very much impressed
With what he saw and heard from the au-
horities OF the State asylum. He returned
painfully aware OF many deficiencies in his
harge, but better prepared to make the
most OF what he had at his command. But
cannot be denied that Shelby county is
poorly equipped for the heavy demands
low being made upon her in this respect.
Is an observant citizen remarked, after
becoming acquainted with the statistics,

.dge Of local humanity, 81 believe the
whole county is going crazy" The insti'
ution is, in peculiar sense, what It's

highest sense primitive, and the furnish

tor that permanency was the ruling idei
