High Waters.

A serious crevasse occurred last
Sunday in st. James parish, 9 miles
by river below the famous Nita Of
1890, which put a number of large
plantations under water.
Tallulah, La, May 23.-Back wa
ter is rising rapidly in the Tensas
basin from the Arkansas break. It's
OBJECT is felt here in backing no the
bayou.
St Louis, May 23.-A trip here
from Carlo by boat presents a sad
scene. The river is from 10 to 20
miles wide, eating away homes, drown
ing stock, submerging lands and
islands. 1t is estimated that 1000
people are rendered homeless and
500. 1000 acres ofgrain destroyed COM
pletely. To detail loss is impossible.
Everyone within lowlying districts

along the river have been driven from
home and ruined. The picture is
too terrible to draw with pen.
Pine Bluff, Ark, May 22.-The
restitution of food sufferers up and
down the Arkansas river is fearful
Fourteen hundred refugees were
brought here this morning. Two
women and a child drowned by fall
ing from a skif. Their husbands
climbed trees and were rescued
There is not single farm on the river
between here and little rock that has
sufficient dry ground on which to
place the stock. Thousands upon
thousands Of cultivated fields are
submerged. God only knows what
these people are going to do. They
have no means and there is no work
for them, even those who have been
considered prosperous planters and
good pay are now refused money and
are entirely without food.
Hope, Ark, May 22.-The river is
thirty-two feet and rising-higher
than known by the oldest inhabitant.
The rise has been gradual for two
weeks, and moe rapid in the last
twenty four hours than previously
Fifty Thousand or more acres are
overfowed, thousands of dollars
worth of property wrecked and 5000
people made homeless. Little re-
planting can be done and the outlook
is indeed gloomy. People are flock
ing from the overlooked district into
Fulton, and the town is crowded.
No trains are runninp through on
the Iron Mountain, and will not fof
several days. The river is twelve
miles wide. The Iron Mountain is
handling its travel via Camden over
the Cotton Belt.
Ozark, Ark, May 23.-Reports
from Mulberry, White Oaks and
Altus show that at least 10000 acres
of the best farm land in this, Franklin
county, are covered with water to
the depth of from six inches to three
feet. It is now settled that county
cotton average will be reduced 80 per
| cent. many families are homeless,
| and but for the kindness of neigh
bors would be starving. The loss
and damage to the farmer can hardly
be estimated until the water RESIDES,
| which will be at least ten days. The
lowest estimate is 800, 900, and the
highest S25o,o0O.

4 Valuable Book.

EVIDENCES OF FUTURE LIFE. From
Reason and Revelation. By Luther
A. Fox, D. D., Professor in Roanoke
College. Philadelphia: Lutheran
Publication Society. Price, $1.25.
A neatly printed l2mo. of 37s
pages. This society has of late been
sending out some very valuable
books, of which this is one. The
doctrine advocated is almost univer-
sally admitted, even among heather
nations. The wild Indian, when his
friend dies, never supposes that he
has ceased to exist, but gone to dwell
in some place and some way unknown
to those whom he leaves behind
Hence he is buried with his weapons
of ofense and defense, or it may be
his dog, his horse, or even his wife
are killed, that he may have company
in the land to which he has gone. It
is scarcely too much to say that the
existence of Great First Cause and
the immortality of man are, in some
sort intuitively perceived and almost
universally accepted. Many works
have been written in the English
language on the subject and as many
more in other languages The sub
iect is Of vast Importance, and to
antagonize or even to debut it's truth,
seems to be contrary to the deepests
instincts of our nature.
The present volume is after the
general manner of discussing the
| subject, and it is well such books are
! published and sent abroad The one
| under notice is well worthy of close,
careful reading and a wide circula-
| tiOr.
