The Floods in china.

Washington, Nov. 20.-Consul Gen.
eral Leonard, at Shanghi, has reported
TO the Department of State the results
Of recent heavy rains in the Yangtse
Valley, China. The rains prevailed
continuously for more than q month In
September aud October, and on the
18th of October, the date of his dis
patch, fifteen million acres Of rice
had been ruined. Within week the
retail price of rice in Shanghai had in-
creased from $3.50 to $3.50 q pecul of
pounds. However, he says, total 1873
failure Of the rice crop in Yangtso VAL
ley would not cause distress ef starva-
tion, as the other products can be util-
lied. The cotton crop, Mr., Leonard
says, is also greatly damaged by the
rains, resulting in an increase of 30 per
cent. in the raw cotton. A similar re-
port comes from Consul Thomas f..
Petius. at Ningpo.

MRS. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.
fhe once Brilliant Autheress a AenIaI
Wreck.

Hartford, Conn, Nov. l9.-Mrs.
Harriet Bescher Stowe is mildly de-
mented. The fires of genius are dead,
and the once brilliant mind is ehoked
with their ashes. The heart once filed
with bright dreams and sunshine is
now haunted by ghosts and shadows.
She has become again child, and day
BY day she wanders around under the
bare boughs of the autumn trees, gath
ering their dead leaves. She is quite
harmless, and in fact so insidious has
been the approach of the disease that
not over 200 people in Hartford are
aware of her condition. Two genera
tions ago she wrung tears from the
ewes of the civilized world with the
magic of her pen. Only last week she
wandered out into the street alone, an
old whlte-haired woman, bent with the
weight of years, but simple and HARM
less as a child. A shawl which hung
from her shoulders dragged on the
ground, and her gray hair was in dis
order. She smiled and talked to her
self as she tottered weakly alsng, and
finally a crowd of rough street boys
were following her. They laughed
and jcered at the pitiful sight, not
knowing who she was.
"Only little" she said as she reach :
ed the corner, irresolute as to which
way to turn. At this moment a gen.
tleman came along who had known
her in happier years. Tears sprang
into his eyes at the sight. He
dispersed the boys. ana with some
difficulty induced tho aged woman to
return home. The foregoing was re-
lated by an eyewitness.
Mrs. Stowe is provided with nurse,
but is allowed freely to 60 about the
house. She is perfectly quiet, and has
no violent fancies. Her trouble seems
to be gradual wearing away Of all
the faculties. She is fond of grooming
the old church hymns Of fifty years
ago, and is constantly humming "Rock
of Ages and kindred ancient melo-
dies. One Of her favorite hymns is
"oh, come angel bandi
Come and around me stand;
Bear me away on yonr snowy wings
To my immortal land"
And so the author of @Uncle Toms
Cabin awaits the peaceful quiet Of
death and final folding of hands.

Sauce for Goose, But Not for Gander.

Washington, Nov. Ex-senator Sher-
man, who assisted in establishing no
gro suffrage in the South, and also in
the District Of Columbia, and who af-
forwards voted to take away the right
of suffrage from the negroes in Wash
ington, where he has since acquired
very large property interests, is the in
troduccr OF the principal bill submit
ted to the last Congress, by which the
Republicans hope to see established
negro rule In the Southern States by
placing the election machinery almost
entirely under the control of the ma
tional government.
It seems that several Of the most
earnest advocates of negro domination
in the South among the Republicans
eagerly assisted in depriving the peo-
pie of that race who are citizens of the
District of Columbia of the right of
voting. They saw or imagined the
evils that would result from negro
government of this district, where
more has been done for the negro than
anywhere else in this country, or in
the world for that matter. But they
pretend to think that the political su-
premacy Of negroes in other sections,
who are as q rule vastly inferior to
those of this district in education and
general fitness for good citizenship
would not result in disaster to the
communities where it should prevail.
When these inconsistent Republican
property holders of Washington study
the most recent criminal statistics Of
the district they will be less inclined
than ever to give the negroes chance
to administer the affairs of the district
1t is shown by the reports that from
80 to 75 per cent of the criminals ar
rested in the district are negroes, al
though the colored population is only
about onc-third of the whole. Th'
criminals are mostly young negroes
who have grown up under The new
conditions. and the best conditions fol
the Improvement of the race.
The colored people here have ever,
facility for enlightenment and prog
ress. Their schools, supplied by tn
district government, are equal to those
of the whites in every appliance ant
accessory; their churches are numer
GUS and handsome and there is no lacl
of avenues for employment.

A True Reminder.

Our citizens should always have
warm place in their hearts for Mr..
Green and bis excellent family; for
when in 1873 we were visited by yell
low fever, Mr.. Green left home and
camo like ministering angel to help
nurse our sick, and many homes in
those sad hours we're cheered by the
presence of this noble man, who had
left all who were dear to him, to come
and help our citizens in their time Of
need.-Spirit.
