JEFFERSON, Tex, Dec. 6.-Last night
one of-the heaviest rain and thunder
storms that ever visited this section
came upon us about 6 o'clock. For six
hours the rain fell in torrents, and all
the streets were like rivers. The sewers
on Polk street were overfowed and sew
eral bridges and street crossings were
washed away. The river is rising faster
than it was ever known before. Il has
risen six feet in twelve hours. Light
ming struck the east corner OF Torrau's
hardware house and knocked the entire
corner OF. The bricks we're thrown
clear across the street, and it then de-
scended and tore the sheet iron awning
in pieces. MIR. A. D. Banta, the cashier
of the Citizens bank, was walking along
the sidewalk st the lime, and was
knocked down by the shock, but not
seriously injui z.

MEN AND WOMEN.


NJ. Meissonier. the famous artist, has
been rather indolent since his recent
marriage, and claims that his life work
is done.
NJ. Tisza, the Hungarian ex-premier,
is said TO have smoked more cigars than
any other man in Europe. He smokes
necessarily and is so shriveled up and
withered that he looks TO be 20 or 50
years of age, although only go.
The richest men in the United States
gained their wealth in the peaceful pur-
suits, but the richest man in Germany
is Herr Krupp, the gun maker, whose
income was over 81 ESQ, 900 last year, and

DIR. Alice b. Stockman, of Chicago,
who has been doing" Russia, speaks of
the wife of Tolstoi as dressed in calico
wrapper, ,trundling her baby in the woods.
A beautiful woman she is, who although
46 and the mother of 13 children, has
still the freshness of youth in her face as
well as her heart
Living on claim near Rocky Ford,
Col, is Emma Aiken and her three
daughters. all of them widows. The
mother is 80 years of age, the eldest
daughter is IS, and the youngest 64. Not
aman has ever been employed about the
place, and during their two years resi-
dence they have done all of their own
work and truck gardening.
Only two votes were cast for Lincoln
in Georgia in 1860, one of them by
sUncle Billy" Powers, who is still alive.
The other man, Cyrus McCollum, was
conscripted and lost his life during the
war. Mr. Powers was formerly Bap-
tist minister, but now belongs to the sect
known as the Church of Christ. He lives
in northeast Georgia, and sometimes ap-
pears i'm Atlanta, where his quaint figure
always attracts attention.
The Car and Czarina recently visited
the military prison in st. Petersburg,
The beautiful Dagmar, like her sister,
the Princess of Wales, has kindly
grace of manner that wins confidence.
She inquired of each prisoner the reason
of his punishment, and as happy result

a reduction of sentence in the cases of go

General Jubal Early, one of the pet
cavalry leaders of the Confederacy, lives
well at Lynchburg on the money he re-
.ceives for lending his name to lottery
company. He has suit of rooms fitted
up with fine library, choice oil paint

boards around at different restaurants,
paying for his meals as he goes, and
running up no bills. He has many
friends, and when he entertains, does SO

trends home plantation bordered on
Caddo Lake, aud as there were quite a
number Of good places-or, they were

lconcluded 10 prospect, and Sabine went
with me as companion and guide.
-0ne bright morning we started of
toward Muddy Creek TO look at planta-

dwelling of the master before noon, and
after an early lunch we set out on foot
to explore BY and by we struck the

We could sit down. All found a seat

seemed pliable from age the seat was

The Astonlshlng spread of LeprOsy.

According to Doctor Morell Mackenzie,
leprosy, the scourge Of the middle ages,
has not become practically extinct
among Europeans, but is in reality
spreading. It has between 1000 and
1,2OO victims in Norway, is also found in
Portugal, Greece, and Italy, and is
rapidly spreading in Sicily, in the Baltic
provinces of Russia, and in France, while
the British islands are not exempt from it..
Inthe United States cases have beenfound
in California, in some of the States of
the northwest; in Utah and in Louisiana.
Many cases exist in New brunswick. In
the Sandwich Islands the disease first
broke out in 1853, and there are now
/. 100 lepers in the Molokai settlement
alone. The disease is extending in the
West Indies.

At the dinner station where we STOP
ped one day on certain Tennessee rail-
road, SAYS writer in the New York Sun,
almost the first sight which greeted the
eyes of those who got off was a rough
burial box on the platform, and seated
near it was an old black woman with
handkerchief to her eyes. When kindly
asked the cause of her sorrow, she
pointed to the box and replied:
"De ole mans in dar. +"
your husband?"
"Yes died two days ago back yere In
de kentry.
"And what are you doing with the
body here?"
Il wants to bury it up at Charlestown,
but hain't got money 'nuff to take it on
de railroad.
What nonsense I" exclaimed man,
as he came forward. What's the differ
ence where a nigger is buried2 They
want her to bury it here, but she won't
She's determined to take it TO Charles
town"
@For what reason Z" asked the passen-
ger who had put all the previous ques-
tions.
@'Kase, 81 h, all de1. chilPen is buried
up dar', an his mudder an sister, an de
poo ole man will be lonesome down
yere. I"
what bosh I" growled the kicker.
%Look here /" whispered the other, az
he went over to him. @Pd rather be a
nigger with her soul than be white man
with yours She's right Let the fam
lily dead sleep together.
He entered the express Office, paid for
the shipment of the body, bought the
widow ticket to Charlestown, and then
dropped $40 gold piece in her hand and
said
"Give him decent funeral, nanny.
and this will putup headboard to mark
the grave.
May the Lawd bless you for -"
But he hurried In to snatch bit TO eat.
While he was gone made inquiries as
to his identity, and finally found man
who replied:
@Wlay, that's Colonel Blank, Of Ala
bama. He owned over 800 negroes when
he war broke out.
