THE LESSON OF THE FLOOD.

One of the most difficult things to do
wish 10 learn it. The Mississippi
River has striven with all its vast
might to teach the dwellers on its
banks, or "shnres," as the Acadian
French call them, that its tremendous
torrent is not to be restrained within
narrow bounds in time of flood. For
more than a century and half has it
almost yearly demonstrated the truth
of this proposition by object lessons.
The chief of these is the latest The
powerful levees have broken in many
places and the surrounding country has
been inundated, causing great loss of
labor and property. The principal
crevasse was at the Raleigh levee, near
Vicksburg. Within fifteen minutes
after the break II was fifteen feet wide.
In five hours 1t had widened to 400 feet
and in thirty-siX hours it was 1000 feet
wide. 1t has since widened to 5000 feet,
and it was eight or ten feet deep. The
great volume of water it carried Off
lowered the river for distance of more
than twenty miles above and fifty miles
below Vicksburg,
The lesson of the flood is plain. To
prevent overflow, give the river an out
let through which the surplus waters
may pass peacefully to the sea. 1t is a
lesson old as history, and yet Alexander
of Macedon alone among rulers ap-
pears to have learned It,

ROCK CREEK Park.

Tomorrow is District day in Con
gress. Among the bills on the House
calendar which will come up is the one
providing for Rock Creek Park. The
official name of this pleasure ground
is TO be Columbus Memorial Park. 1t
is to comprise about 1000 acres of
ground. II is an admirable selection
Nature has done much for it, and
when it is further beautified by the art
of the architect and the landscapist, it
win be worthy indeed Of the Capital of
the great Republic.
In point of size it will rank with the
great public parks of the world. The
greatest Of these is Fairmount, at Phil.
adeIphia, 2,140 acres The Bois de
Boulogne, at Paris, contains 9, $50 acres.
London's largest park, Regents, is
acres, while Hyde Park has only 400.
Phoenix Park, Dublin, which gained
such q sinister fame a few years
ago as the scene of the murder
of Lord Cavendish and Secretary
Burke, contains l ,752 acres. Baltimore
boasts the nobest forest park in
America, Druid Hill, GOO acres in ex-
tent. New York's great pleasure
! ground, the costliest, and in many
ways the most magnificent Of all-Cen
tral Parks two and half miles long
by a-half mile wide, and comprises
exclusive Of building sites and
resery oi,s. Ge3 acres. It's reser.
voirs and artificial lakes contain
1S5 acres. Among its attractions are
five and a half miles Of road devoted tc
saddle-horse uses, nine and a half tc
carriage roads and twenty eight tc
walks, the entire area given up to thes'
uses being 100 acres. 1t has eigh
bridges over water and thirty. eight owe
roads which intersect at different levels
No two of these bridges are at all simi
lar in design, each being adapted to th
particular place where it is built.
Columbus Memorial Park is to cos
81, 100000, 4. C., the purchase money i
to be limited TO that amount. Centra
Park was bought at a cost of $6,250,
600. Fairmount was acquired at cos
of $4,000, GOO. Prospect Park, Brook
lyn, $50 acres, cost nearly $4,000, 900
St. Louis has paid out more than ST 300,
600 for 1,700 acres of parks.
Thus it will be seen that the nobl
park proposed to be established alon!
the picturesque Rock Creek, while i
will be one of the largest in the world
will be one of the cheapest. Their
should be no hesitation on the part o
Congress about passing this bill.

LITERARY NOTES.

full-pnge engravings, by Timothy Cole,
thc engraver, each subject being a "Ma-
donna aud CMldn by Giovanni Bellini;
namely, the famous altarpieces IN the
church of s. Xaccaria and the church of

Of cngravings made b. Cole In the very
presence of the greatest pictures. The
original relations of tone which are so sadly
confused in the photographs, especially in
those of the Venetian school, are retained
in all the accuracy possible to black and

Eliot Norton of Harvard University praised
this series highly. Mr.. Stillman's articles
in themselves form a little history OF ltal-
ian art, aud the series has now reached tho
painters in which there is the broadcst
popular interest.

THE OLD CLOCK.

From the NeW orleans PlcGyune.
Dingy and brown is the well-worn case,
Where the busy wheels go round,
On the mantel old, in its memoried place,
Ticks the clock with noisy sound.
How the FURNISHED hands o'er its homely
face
Once moved with leaden creep,
Twas sluggish pace, DER its circled
space,
But now tits a dismal sweep.
1t clicked all day with steely ring,
1t clicked in the midnight hour,
The steady swing of the well-worn spring
Uncoiled its iron power.
The hands still move with welcome noise
While softly purrs the cat,
buzzing fly the dog annoys,
As he growls from the deerskin mat.
The golden hours that made youths day
One dream of boyish fun,
Are shorter now, and the shadows play
O'er life's declining sun.
The clock ticks on, in its soulless race,
While the busy wheels go round;
The years are traced on its lettered face
As II clicks with soberer sound.

II ANYBODY wants to know all about
mortgages in foreign countries, let him
procure from the Secretary Of State Il
copy of the reports of the Consuls OF
the United States, Nos. 40 and ILL.,,
November ard December, 1889. From
these reports, which were gathered at
the request of the National Board Of
Trade, the seeker after information
may learn the mortgage systems Of all
TIE countries of all the continents Of
the earth and of all the islands of the
sea. To business men and lawyers and
lawmakers these reports will prove in
structive, and they are not much dryer
reading than some modern novels which
have had great run.
