SOUTHERN FLOODS

The Memphis Appeals Greenville,
Miss, special: The levees north of the
city gave way, despite the efforts OF
people, and the water poured in upon
the city which always before had been
above the level of the Mississippi at
its greatest height. The food Is a
tremendous one and the volume of
water pouring from three breaks above
is spreading out in all directions, in
undating plantation after plantation,
which in the Hood OF 1882, were above
water. 1t is estimated by engineers
that large portion OF the city will be
flooded and the greatest height the
water will reach in the low parts will
be three feet. 1t is greatly feared the
heavy wind and rain will cause the
levees to give way in new places. The
water from Austin breaks will have an
outlet into the Yazoo River, which will
mandate large section OF country in
Sunhower and Yazoo counties. No
lives reported lost and no actual suf-
fering anticipated.
LATER. Two white men and a ne
gro, crossing the river in skiff, were
drowned by the boat capsizing. Many
slight casualties are reported from
skiffs coming i'm contact with wire fem
ces and other hidden distractions.
Another dispatch says: Greenville,
Miss, is now an island. The town is
in great danger OF being inundated.
The situation Is unlmproved though
the levees are not yet gone.
Advices from various points regard
ing the Mississippi levees show no
marked change, except in the vicinity
of Skipweth, the water is steadily adj
vancing. The towns of Mayersville,
Titlers and Hayes cannot escape mum
dation similar to Skipweth. The peo-
pie are moving their goods as rapidly
as possible. There is no danger to
human life and most of the stock has
been taken to safe ground. In Meedi-
son parish the levee bank is crumbling
rapidly, but the new one being built
may be completed in time TO save the
country. The railroads in that vicini-
ty and all along the riverside are the
heaviest sufferers, Some divisions
have been entirely abandoned and
others will BE- soon unless the situation
improves. The town Of Rayville is in
immediate danger; four inch rise
will food it.

AFTER HER MONEY.
A Pennsy Ivanian Heiress IN Trouble
in Chicago.

Miss Leonore Ensall, the Pennsyl-
vania heiress, whose money Clarence
Kront is said to have conspired to Sc
cure, is still at the Desplaines street
police station in Chicago, where she
gave herself up. fearing that Kronl's
friends would attempt TO prevent her
from appearing against him. kront
was held to the criminal court under
81, 600 bail on the conspiracy charge,
and is now in the county Jail. Chief
Marsh has received letter from the
Binnscope q Brown Banking company,
OF Fayette, City. Pa, stating that Miss
Ensall's father was a depositor there,
and that they were instructed TO honor
all drafts made by Miss Eensall. This
communication greatly pleased the
latter and she will now prepare to re-
turn to her home. Kront's case will
be called in the criminal court at once
and the date OF the trial fixed. Miss
Ensall's romantic story as printed has
brought her dozens of letters from
wife-seekers who desire TO make her
acquaintance.

PUNISHED A WIFE-BEATER
Newman Matthewson Whipped and
Given Coat ofTar and Feathers.

Newman Matthewson, a prominent
and wealthy farmer living near Hart
ford, n. Y, was taken from his home,
whipped and given "A coat OF tar and
feathers by a band of masked men
who called themselves White Caps.
Less than year ago Matthewson mar
ried his brothers widow and recently
they have not agreed on account Of
the disparity in their ages. The stall
wart men of Hartford recently heard
OF an alleged brutal whipping admin
Istered to the young wife and con-
Guided to give the husband "A les son.
Matthewson was seized when he clme
to his door, stripped in the presence
OF Mrs. Matthe wson, who stood in the
door, and whip applied. This was
followed by a liberal coat OF warm tar,
which was finished of with feathers
in wasteful extravaganza. Mrs. Mat
thewson is said to have offered no re-
monstrance, but seemed TO think that
he was getting only what he deserved.
Matthewson was more dead than alive
when his tormen ers left him. He
says that he will prosecute the men
who so abused him il he can learn
their names, which is doubtful.

Thc North PoTo.

Dr. Nansen is now to make an ef- fort to discover the north pole. His hopes are founded upon the theory that there IS warm ocean current from the north coast of Siberia sweep ing across the ocean from that psint to and down the east coast of Green land. The north pele, he believes, is in the direct track of that current. He is convinced that this theory is true from the fact that soms. portions of the cargo of the ill-fated Jeanette were fonnd some two years after her wreck near the southern point of Greenland. He is confident that if he can place vessel in that current, which must be warm and m an open sea. he can reach the pole without any serious obstruction from ice. This was evidently the theory and intent of the lamented De Long. The day before the Jeannette left San Francis co harbor the writer of this paragraph had long and confidential interview with one of the members of the scien- ufc party on board the Jeanette, who told us that the first we should bear of the ship would probably be from of the east coast of Greenland; {; that they expected by sailing in northwest direction, after passing through Rehring straits, to reach northeasterly warm current which would take them directly to the east coast of Greenland. That the Jean nette actually reached the border of such a current Is evidenced by the fact that the floating materials from the wreck above alluded to could not have reached the place where they were seen upon any other hypothesis Mining & Scientific Prass.

Life a Continual Struggle.

The world being world of strug. gle, life teaches us the lesson that we live in order to fight; we must not blink at this truth, for we cannot shirk the combat. Ethics, according ly, if it is true ethics, and practical ethics, must above all be an ethics of strife. It must teach us how to strug- gle, how to fight, how 10 aspire. In order to teach us the how, it must show us the goal that is to be striven for, and the ideal which we should pursue. The progress of civilization changes the weapons and abolishes barbaric practices; yet It will never abolish the struggle itself. The strug. gle will become more humane, it will be fought without the unnecessary waste which accompanies tho rude warfare of the savage but even gol- den era of peace and social order wlIl continue to remaln an uneeasing strife and competition. You cannot abolish competition even in the most complete cooperative system. There will al- waysremain the strugglef for occupying this or that place, and the competition for proving to be the Attest wlil cen. tinue so long as the world lasts. There are ethleal teachers who imagine the purpose of ethlcs IS the suppression of all struggle, who depict state of so- cIety where there Is pure altruism without conflicting interests, state of mutual love, heaven of undisturbed happiness. The ethies of pure altru- ism is just as wrong as the ethics of pure egoism. For il is our duty to stand ap manfulIy in battle and to wage tile war of honest aspirations. - Current Literature.

TEc Nisarsgnp Canal.

The cost of the proposed Nicaragua canal is now placed at S65, 100000 The distance between the oceans is l69 miles, but only 29 miles of canal will have to be dug. The San Jaan rlyer must be deepsned and some arr tifcial basins constructed in the val leys of other streams Lake Nicara- qua affords 56 miles of free sailing.

New Msxico's chances for admissionl to Statehood during the present ses- sion of Congress are not hopeful. The opposition to the Territorys ap. peal in this direction, however, is not due to any partisanship or to any oth- CT consideration which its Democratic champions are likely to cite, but to s lack of faith Tn it's fitness to assume the larger political relations which 1t desires to enter upon The national census oi 1870 showed tbat a large portion of its population either had no acquaintance or an imperfect ac- qualntance with the English language, speaking and writing when they could write at all. the Spanish tongue only.
