Malone Oh Dress Parade.

Malone of Virginia, is seen almost
daily on the streets. He is quite an
object of curiosity to people who have
meyer before seen him. He doesn't mingle
with crowds, and has only been ove- to
the White House once or twice since
Harrison became President. Malone
goes on the street for exercise appar-
emily. He sticks to his SLOUGH hat, and
his hair and beard are very long, which
gives him an odd and picturesque APP
pearance. He is wearing low-quarter
shoes with wide strings and his trousers
are big and baggy in the legs. The
Northern Republicans who have never
before had chance to gaze upon the
defeated boss look at him with astonish-
ment whenever he is pointed out. He
almost invariably smokes long Key
West cigar when sauntering down the
street, and appears in deep meditation,
as if he were wondering when the man
in the White House intends to give him
show in the control of the Virginia
patronage.

1.-THE water rushing upon tie molten

and grinding OF the flood, made a terrify

Turning 20 TIE other side and looking

otcer and looked terror-stricken upon the
rising flood. IL had all come SO quickly
that none of them seemed TO realize what
had happened.
1.-The conductor Of my train had Eeen
pulling franticahy at the bell-rope, and
the train went spinning across the bridge.
i sat in nv seat transfixed with horror.
Houses were spinning through beneath the
bridge, and l did not know at what
moment the structure would give way
under the strain.
The conductor kept tugging at the
lel-rope aud the train shot ahead again.
We seemed to fairly leap over the yellow
torrents. Ny heart gave pound OF re-
lief when we dashed into the forest on the
hillside opposite the doomed town.
LAS the train sped along at rate of
speed that made me think the engineer had
gone mad ! took one look back upon the
valley. What sight it was The popu-
lous valley for miles either way was
seething, roaring caldron, through whose
boiling surface roofs of houses and the
stand pipes of mills protruded. The
water fairly piling up in n mill farther
up and / saw the worst had not yet corre
Then l turned my eyes away from the
awful sight and tried not 10 even think
until Pittsburg was reached.
Il can not see how it is possible for less
than D, 600 lives to have been sacrificed in
JohnStown alone. At least two thirds of
the town was swept away. The water
came so quickly that escape from the low
district was impossible People retreated
to the upper floors of their residences until
the water had got too deep to allow their
escape.
when the big flood came the houses
were picked up like pasteboard boxes or
collapsed like egg shells. The advance of
the flood was black with houses. logs, and
other debries so that it struck Johnstown
with the solid force of battering ram.
None but eye-witnesses of the flood can
comprehend tbs size and awfulness rs it
came tumbling, roaring down upon the
unprotected town.

At Cambria City, Pennsylvania, there are
pro ably "A dozen houses in what was a

No estimate can be formed Of the amount

terrible. There are at present fifty Ives

who are without shelter, and no means Of

A short man is said to be quicker on

with short name is said to come out

the United States the man with the
fewest syllables in his surname always

the cases of Burr and Hamilton Bar

that it had been true ever since David
