UNUSUALLY HIGH TIDES.
Fall River and New Bedford Floods.
 NHerch andise Swept from the Wharves

Fall River and New Bedford Flooded.
 HHerch andise Swept from the Wharves.
 FAs& RIVER, Mass, Jan. 13.-An ex- traorSinary storm and high tide pre- vailed here and caused considerable dam- age. The wind blew gale from the south and the waters were piled up un- til the principal wharves were flooded. A large quantity of merchandise was swept off Rodman's wharf into the river and bales of cotton and casks floated in all parts of the harbor from the Fall River line dock to Shades Ferry bridge. The waters are receding.
 NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Jan. 13.-The storm in this locality was particularly severe along the water front. The wharves are under water and several small buildings on them have been blown over. Water is breaking 20 feet high against tho sea wall at the head of Clark's Cove and several skiffs have been driven ashore. A large part of Palmer's Island is under water.

GIT is hard," says . western paper, "for free born and intelligent Americans to transport themselves in imagination back to the old medieval days when knights of all kinds and degrees ruled the roost." But is it so hard? There are to-day in the active operation Knig hts Templar, Knights of Pythias, Knights of Columbus, Knights of the Forest, Knights of the Key, Knights of Old, Knights of Charity, Knights of the Golden Circle, Knights of the Silver Cross. Knights of of Temperance, Knights of Labor and a hundred odd other species of knights. As a matter of fact, you couldn't throw a pebble in any street in any city in the country without hitting a knight, every one of whom is entitled to wear a uniform, the goreeousness of which would have made a medieval knight feel poor and cheap. Seriously, the fondnsss of Americans for knighthood is amazing, as we'll as amusing, and seems to be en- tirely out of relation to their other characteristics.

DAMAGE BY FLOODS
Several Rivers and Streams
 Swollen Into Torrents.
ALARM FELT AT JoHNsTowN, PA
Wharves Along the New England Coast
 Flooded by High Tides.

The Lehigh River Overlows and Many
 People Compelled to Seek Refuge in the
 Upper Stories of Their HOmes-Ice
 Causing Trouble.
 ALLENTOWN, Pa, Jan. 13-The floods in the Lehigh Valley yesterday were the greatest experienced in the region for snow and the heavy downfall of rain swelled the river and other streams into torrents. Thousands of tons of ice were swept away with the current.
 The waters of the Lehigh river rose at the rate of more than a foot an hour, and at midnight, when the stram reached it's highest point, it was twelve feet above low water mark. The river over flowed its banks and inundated the low lands along its course and carried away everything that was movable. Logs, stumps of trees, telegraph poles and sec tlons of fences came down the stream in large quantities, and for several hours last night the river was blocked with ice from bank to bank.
 The Lehigh Valley Railroads new passenger line through this city was partially flooded when the freshet reach OA AOS hASACob poAAI1 anu uO COulu be run for nearly 12 hours.
 At number of places gorges formed, and it was with difficulty that they were removed. The tracks were washed out at several points.
 The first floors of the Adelaide Silk Mills, the Iowa Barb Wire Works and the furniture factory of Johnston & Swartz were inundated, and there was a temporary suspension of operations.
 The yard of the Pennsylvania, Pough- keepsie & Boston Railroad at Slatington was washed out by the flood.
 The village of Franklin, slate town, about 20 miles northeast of Allentown, was almost entirely submerged. The place is in the lowlands, and the water flooded the first floors of the houses, and the people were compelled to seek refuge in the upper stories. There are 50 houses in the place, and scarcely one escaped the flood.

IT begins to look as if there would be an extra session of the fifty con- grsss. There remains only 42 working days of the present congress, and not one of the appropriation bills has yet passed the senate. The question of an extra session is wholly in the hands of the republicans. The democrats have no desire to force one, but they do not fear it. If the republicans choose to prevent an extra session they can do SO, but unless they manifest such purpose as once an early meeting of the fifty second congress will be unavoidable.

DUBLIN, Jan. 13.-Archbishop Walsh replies in to-day's Insuppressible to MT. Parnell's assertion in his speech at Linn erick that the opposition of the bishops to his retention in the leadership is without moral effect because it came too late. The Archbishop states that before Mir. Parnell's reelection to the chairman ship he wrote to prominent Parnellites, advising that MT. Parnell be retired, un- less he could clear himself of the cloud resting upon him.

Strictly speaking, the only precious stones are the diamond, ruby, sapphire and emerald, though the term is often extended to the opal, notwithstanding its lack of hardness, and to the pearl, which is not a mineral, but strictly an animal product. Popularly, a gem is a precious or semi-precious stone when cut or polished for ornamental pur- poses.

When Jackson was fifteen years old he lost

and Islander were opened not only upon him
self but upon his wife. and even his mother
was assaulted with vindictive calumny.
On ono occasion during the campaign
his wife found him weeping. In re-
