Two Hundred and Fifty Perished by the
Rise I'm Tombigbee River.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
ABERDEEN. Miss. April 1a-The water in
the Tombigbee river is subsiding. leaving
q black, desolate waste. Late reports
which have reached here indicate that the
loss by the flood will be greater than
at first estimated. From the most reliable
information to be obtained from the flooded
district it is known that the number of
lives lost will reach $50. while
all vestige of household property
has been swept away by the raging tor
rent. Relief parties have been sent out,
and moro than 80 bodies have already
been recovered. Thousands of people are
rendered homeless, and the suffering is
intense. A relief party to-day rescued o
family of nine persons. who had been adrift
on raft for six days without q mouthful
of food. They were insane from
hunger, and went wild over the sight
of food. One of the party. lad of four
teen years, had become eIbbering idiot.
and devoured raw beef like q wild beast.
A coiored woman and her infant
were found floating on q mattress.
They had been without food for three days
and the babe is so emaciated that
it Will die. Her family of eight chill
dren were all drowned. The loss of
property is so great that 1T cannot be
accurately estimated at present. Thou
sands of head of cattle have persisted,
and the swamps are strewn with car
cases. The country In the flooded dis
tricts is fiat and devoid of hills,
thus giving no refuge except tree-tops to
panic-stricken negroes. when the water
came rushing down upon them. 1t will be
several days before any thing like q correct
estimate of the damages can be obtained.
The citizens have appealed to the State au-
thorities and the general government for
aid.

Christianity Growing.

Infidels talk of Christianity dying
out, but statistics show wonderful adj
vance ever since its introduction. 1t
has had to fight its way against the
greatest opposing currents, but it has
moved forward until it has obtained a
wondrous hold among all the civilized
nations of the earth. The Army Chap
lain has been figuring up the progress
which it has made during the inter-
vening centuries, and reaches the fol-
lowing cheering conclusions: "Three
centuries after Christ there were 5,000,-
900 Christians; eight centuries after
Christ there were 30, 1000, 900 Christians;
ten centuries after Christ there were
100000 Christians; fifteen centuries
after Christ there were 100,000,000
Christians; eighteen centuries after
Christ there were 174,000,000. Now
there are 100000, 900 Christians. The
followers of the three religions, Con-
fucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, all
combined, are less in number than the
Christians alone. Including the latest
division of Africa among the European
powers, about four-fifths of the land of
the world is under Christian control"
So much for figures; but what of the
gospels general influence upon So
ciety and its moulding and uplifting
power in the temporal as we'll as in the
religious condition of mankind? To-day
Christianity is the great ameliorating,
civilizing and regenerating agency, not
only in Christian, but in pagan lands.
1t constantly evinces it's right TO live by
its fruits. Nations as we'll as individ-
uals are benefited by its dominance.
1t would be the height of cruelty, if it
were possible, to Danish it from the
home, from society and from the
race.-The Presbyterian.

Girls Who Have Push.

There is an interesting group of bright
girls at the New England Conservatory
of Music, in Boston, who represent the
quality of push characteristic of the
American girl. There are some thirty
five of these girls, and they are being
unsteady and vocally educated by The
LADIES' Home Journal of Philadelphia.
Some time ago this magazine offered,
as stimulant to girls to get subscrip-
tons for it, free educations at the con-
servatory. The American girl is quick
to see chance, and one by one these
thirty-fve girls have come from all
parts of the country to Boston. They
receive the very best the conservatory
affords, the most desirable rooms in the
building are theirs, and they have all
their wants carefully looked after by a
wealthy periodical. Perhaps in no
other country on the face of the globe
could such thing be possible. These
girls, too, the reporter was told, belong
to nice families, but preferred to earn
their own musical education rather
than depend ON the family purse. Of
course, the particular girls are unknown
to the scholars at large, and to all in
tents and purposes they are paying their
own way. And they certainly are. II
is said that the magazine is also educa-
ting number of other girls at Welles-
ley, Smith and Vassar Coll eyes.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucuous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube gets in
famed, you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out, and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an intlamed condition of the mucuous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, etc.
