Devastating E6ects u nm Overflow Of the
Mississlppl.
The heart-rendinR and tremendously
tragic Genes Of Q food in . mountain
gorge ARE wholly lacking in . Louisiana
flood, says the the New Orleans Picayune.
When . great levee breaks in our low
lands there IL a terrible rush Of waters at
the immediate scene of the crevasse. but q
short distance from the locality the scenes
arc entirely different.
The water does not 60 roaring and rag
ing through q narrow valley, sweeping
everything before it. The yellow flood
pouring through the gap, often enlarged to
the fiat country, filling the vast shallow
basin that it really presents. Day
after day the turbid waters climb
up around and into the dwellings,,
the stables, the stock yards, the
sugar houses, the cotton sheds, and gin.
houses. while the pastures and cultivated
fields are covered. The submersion goes
on until the country is inundnted from
from four to twelve feet deep over vast
areas. The people retire to their upper
rooms, unless, as is often the case with
the smaller dwellings,, their inhab-
itants are ioated away. The domes-
tic animals encompassed by a sea
OF waters perish by thousands from ex-
haustion or starvation. The muddy water
deposits its silt in the houses and upon
the growing crops, covering everything
in its reach with a Shiny mud. The coun-
try roads are extinguished, the bridges toat
away, the railways are disabled, and boats
alone afford o means of communication
with the population beleaguered by the in
undation.
Many people are drowned under these
unusual circumstances, many more sicken,
and not q few die from the exposure and
priyations which they undergo, while TIE
suffering for provisions is often SO great
the destitute people over vast areas
of submerged country are dependent
on charity. The flooded region is
often twenty to fifty miles wide and
100 miles long, and in all
these limits there is scarcely a
spot Of dry ground. .Such a state of things
may last one or two months. before the
waters subside, and then dry land fit to
stand on, much less to plough, is slow in
making its appearance.
Such is q food in Louisiana. If it has
not the overwhelmingly terrible and in
Simultaneous oataolysmio features of a
Johnstown tragedy, it is sufficiently deadly
and dreadful. Let It not be considered
lightly,
