RESTLESS RIVERS.
WATER SLOWLY CREEPING INTO THE CITIES
OF THE SOUTH.
The Situation at New Orleans Cairo and Ar
kansas-Actiye Efforts Made to Strength
en- the Levees-A Gloomy Feeling
Pervaiing the Towns

New ORLEANS, March 16.-The water
which flooded a portion of New Orleans
yesterday was merely temporary, and
did no harm beyond causing a scare.
The levees at New Orleans stand from
eight to fourteen feet above the streets,
the latter slanting back to Lake Pont-
chartrain. with fall OF eight or ten feet
more. The highest water ever known here
that of 1874, rose l6 $40 feet over what
is known as low water. The levceS were
built sufficiently high to stand seven
teen feet save in the business center OF
the city, along the sugar, cotton and
grain landing and at the landing OF the
English steamers at the foot Of Jackson
street. They were but sixteen and a
half feet above low water, to accOmmo-
date business. this being supposed 10 be
sufficient to withstand any flood.
Above the city yesterday, accompanied
bv a south wind, blew the water against
the lcvecs, and it rose temporarily sew
cntccn feet, or seven tcnths OF iOot
above the highest mark known. This
rise drove water over the cutters. and
the latter were unable To carry it of.
The result was flooding of the
front streets. Freight on the levee had
to be removed. but no actual damage
was done. \ slight additional
rise would have been very
damaging. however. as the flood on Canal
street came within two inches of the
floors Of the leading dry goods stores.
While no injury was done, the flood
caused a panicky feeling. 1t had been
believed here for years the flood OF 1874,
the most disastrous in. the Mississippi
Valley. would never be exceeded, and
here in few hours the river beat 1t
nearly Il foot.

CATS GONE WILD.

Felines With HydrOphobia.
HARRODSBURG. Ky. March lG.-There
is a great scare in the Mt. Moriah neigh
borhood, near Burgin. Ky. 1t appears
that sometime ago a cat in that vicinity
was bitten by mad dog. The inOcu-
lated feline spread the disease, until
now nearly every cat in fine township
has the rabies and the people are almost
panic stricken. The bruteS are far more
fcrocious than mad dogs, and actually
pursue people. \ few days ago Miss
Agnes Bonita. one Of the bcst-known
Young ladies of this county, while walk
ing through the yard. was attacked by
one of the rabid animals, which pursued
her to her room and kept her there un-
I'll she was rescued by members OF her
family.
More than dozen persons have been
bitten. and Mary Heath, Jane Ellison,
Katie Nanderpool and Tommy llildcr-
brand. all school children, were badly
mauglcd by cats. Nearly all the do
nestle animals in the neighborhood
have been bitten. and there is no telling
where the thing will end. The schools
are closed and the men are hu4ing
cats. and the pop Of the rifle is heard ON
all hands.
An organized effort will be made To
kill every cat in the township. and
every animal that shows the least sign
of rabies will be killed instantly. The
bitten persons are in the hands OF ply
sicianS. and every effort will be made
To- save them from hydrophobia.

GREAT RUSH OF WATERS.
The Ends of the Crevasse Gazing Rapidly
and much Damage Feared.

New ORLEANS. March l6.-The Times
Democrats NickSburg special says: y
personal visit made TO Raleigh or Pecan
Grivc to-day satisfied your correspond
ent that the report had exaggerated
the extent of the damage. At three
o'clock this evening the crcvaSSc was
one thousand feet or more wide. and
the ends were cavng 50 rapidly
that it was foolhardincSS to approach
them. The lcvee is nearly - feet high
and the immense volume OF water was
rushing through in stream 10 or more
feet deep. The extent OF the crevasSc
and the immense amount OF water de-
livcrcd by it may be estimated by the
fact that i'm the twenty-four hours end
ing this evening the river. has fallen
three inches at NickSburg and four inches
at Lake Providence. Though rising
steadily prior to the crcvaSse Assistant
Engineer Thompson who arrived at the
crcvaSsc this evening. is quoted as
saving that no crevasse at any point
along the line Of fifth lcyce district
could occasion such serious results as
the one at Raleigh.

RepIv 10 Rev. Joseph Cook.

PIrrsBURG, March 1G.-In a sermon
to-day Rev. Dr. j. G.. Townsend, the
founder of the new theology movement
in New York and Western PennSyl-
vania. now pastor Of the Unitarian
Church here, answered Rev. Joseph
Cooks attack upon UnitarianiSm as
follows: Mr.. Cook is warning inilu-
cncc to-day ON account of his cgotiSm.
arrogance and a certain brutality. He
has an undivinc incapacity to
sec good outside Of the peck
measure of thcologic system. He
stamps his own character who calls
Herbert Spencer charlctan and
John FiSkc its echo. The beautiful
strains of Claiming. Of Parker. of En-
crson. make harsh the notes of Cook.
Mr.. Cook measures UnitarianiSm by its
church buildings and calls it a cripple
and a corpse. but he cannot measure the
spread Of its ideas. How many ortho-
doX ministers get their intellectual force
from the depth Of UntarianiSm? Mr.
Cook calls us humanitarians, and we ac-
ccpt the name. for We would not have a
church 50 full of God as to exclude men.
