Terrible Work OF the Flood In the MlssIs.
sippi River-Extent of the Damage.
ST.. LOUIS, March Sl-Mr J. Hogan,
Of the Memphis Commercial, arrived
yesterday direct from along the flooded
districts OF the Mississippi river, having
just completed thorough tour and in.
vestigation Of the devastated districts.
He says the situation is alarming, and
in his opinion the food has not reached
the highest notch.
In the Laconia circle, which is situ-
ated in Desha County, Ark, and COM
prises about 20, 900 acres. the scene is a
heartrending one. This strip Of country
is now inundated to a depth Of from five
10 twenty feet and the inhabitants,
numbering between 1000 and 5000
men, women and children-are perched
in trees, house tops and barns and hay
stacks.
Starvation IS telling on the stock that
has not already perished, while the
human victims are in a not less deplor-
able condition.
From Helena the entire Mississippi
delta reaching from Nicksburg west to
Shreveport and down to New Orleans
seemed doomed 70 destruction. Mr.
Hogan reports that all the people in the
vide district threatened who realized
the true situation are fleein.- for their

SAGE SAYINGS.


True practical philosophy makes the
most Of little pleasures, and the most
Of every thing.
HAEsH counsels have no effect; they
are like hammers which are always re-
pulsed by the anvil.
WE gain nothing BY falsehood, but the
disadvantage Of not being believed when
we speak the truth.
HALF the things which We groan over
tonight will right themselves before to-
morrow night, II we let them alone.
Coon nature, like a bee. collects honey
from every herb. Ill-nature, like a
spider, sucks poison from the sweetest
flower.
DON'T waste your ammunition on dead
ducks. Many a man gets into a Wrangle
with some one who is utterly beneath
notice.
IT was long since discovered that
though it is easy 70 crown an ass With

WASHINGTON, April The Commits
sioner Of Indian Affairs, In accordance
with Instructions OF the Secretary OF the
Interior, has issued a notice TO all whom
IL may concern, whether white men or
Indians, that all cattle and other live
stock held on any Indian land in the
Indian Territory under any pretended
contract or arrangement with the In
dians for the use and occupation Of any
part OF any Indian lands for grazing
purposes, must be removed not later
than October I. 1890, and so much earlier
as any special circumstances affecting
the lands or concerning any OF the cattle
may make such removal necessary.
This removal is based upon a decision
OF the Attorney-General, who holds that
in the absence or any law derived from
treaty or statutory provision Indian
tribes can not lease their reservations.
The effect of this notice in conjunc-
ton with the Presidents proclamation
Of February II, 1890 will be the re-
moval OF all the cattle from every part
Of the Iudian Territory by October next

THE GUEss-BooKs STILL OPEN.

The Examiner closed its census guess
books on Monday so far as it relates to in
terror towns. Although the census of this
city is more than half taken people are still
invited to pay for the privilege of making
guess on returns that are partially known
to several parties. a newspaper man with
any experience will give close estimate Of
the result of an election before the vote is
half counted. The same skill would enable
a eensus-guesser, with one-half the returns
before him, to come very close to the final
figures. OF course the ordinary run Of
guessers do not have the partial returns to
base their calculations upon. Whether the
partial returns are at the disposal of a few
favored ones will appear when the prizes
are awarded. The public generally did not
take much interest in the gamble, but there
is now very general disposition to see
that the prizes are not awarded to persons
who from their relation to the Examiner
crowd may be supposed to have been
favored with look at such returns as have
been in the hands of the Inspector since
demonstrating commenced. OF course the
Examiner crowd will think it ungenerous
to suspect them. An Inspector may think
his official dignity insuIted by suspicion

losing venture. But wiser man than
either the Inspector or the proprietor of the
Examiner has remarked that the appear
ance of evil should be avoided as well as
evil itself. To avoid the appearance of evil
the guess-books should have been closed
the day the taking of the census COM
menced. If that had been done the public
would have felt some confidence in the in
tention of the Examiner to give guessers a
fair chance. 1t might still have been pos
sible to bring in guesses made after the
census was partially taken, but there
would have been presumption of fair
