fBy telegraph TO the Dispatch.l
ST.. LOUIS. NO.. May 1.-THE river .!
this point reached height OF $40 Zee.
this afternoon, which Is only eigntesn y
inches below the big food OF 1888, ana q
rise of about a foot since last night. As
the water rises more and more land IN the
northern and southern parts OF the city
become submerged, and hourly ehcroach,
ments are made on the railroad tracks anu
other property bordering on tne liven.
More land is also inundated on the eastern
s,da ~ the river. and nearly all the ground
on the south side Of East st. LOUIS TO last
Carondelot. distance OF about hve miles,
;s under water. A large section OF country
north OF East st. Louis. reaching up 20
the National stock-yards, Is also sud-
merged.
within these boundaries scores OF houses
ara flooded and their former occupants
bsve been forced to abandon them. Along
the levee in the central part OF the clty rhe .
situation is not materially changed. Ing
water continually creeps up the BANK anu
the ground-hoor stores are being in'a ns
and their occupants are moving out. Inc
prospect is now that three. perhaps Tour,
feet more OF water will come from the upper
streams and that there will be not only
great Inconvenience to business, but I'm
mense destruction of property.
CONSTANTLY ISCREAsINd DAMAGE.

butaries of constant ralns. of streams All

Another feature of the situation is un;
easiness in Iowa, Missouri. Illinois, ana
Indiana about this years corn crop. In
yery large sections the felds are under
water or water-soaked. and not a furrow
has been turned, where ordinarily at TINS
date plouehing mas been finished and much
of the seeding has been done. 1t VIII take
some time for the water TO run on the
lowlands after the rise is checked, ana OF

An Engineers Strong Arm.

An imaginative gentleman relates an
experience which he had while pulling a
fast mail train over the Rocky mountain
division of the Union Pacific. He was
coming down through canyon with a
heavy train behind him. 1t had been
raining heavily for long time, and the
ground was soft and sticky. The track
was wet and slippery, and the heavy
train was running at fearful speed.
His engine was ''doing her best to hold
'em back" but in spite of his efforts he
began to fear that the train was going to
get away from him.
just as he was wondering what he
could do to check the tremendous speed
of the train he shot round curve, and
there on the track, not hundred yards
ahead of him, wasa little girl asleep.
To stop by ordinary methods was abso-
lutely impossible. To go on was certain
death to the child. In the fraction of a
second he had formed his plan.
AS he says it. III shouted to Jim, the
fireman, to choke her. and give her the
grit, and then slid out on the running
board and down on her nose and jumpnd
off. AS she came by grabbed hold OF !,
spoke in the driver and socked my he
in the mud, and, if you'll believe it,
stopped the train right there. Broke nj
right arm in two places, though, an
knocked every blamed car in the trai
clean off the track. But | saved til !,

The business of the country is in
provokingly healthy and flourishing Con
dition. Imports during the fiscal yes
ending June 30 were greater than tho
of any former year, amounting to 1888
100000, while exports also exceeded II
highest record and reached the enormC3
aggregate of 1,027 100000. Railr' !.
earnings for the first six months of III
year are greater than those for a
similar period in history and the outpl
Of manufactures has been greater thu
ever before. Business failures for tn
first half of the present year have bee
1000 fewer in number and $40,00O,0O
less in gross liabilities than they wer
during the corresponding period of 1891
New industrial enterprises for manufa
turing iron. cotton and wooden fabric
are going into operation in various Sc
tions; and while the margin of profits
small, business is on solid foundation
and the outlook in every direction
hopeful and encouraging. The gra
crop is promising, money is abundan
and collections are easy. In the face
such condition of things, the calami
bowler must remain silent.

In napkin fine and fair,

" For one like me to wear"
So never at morn or evening
put my garment on;
Itlay by itself under clasp and key
In the perfumed dust alone,
Its wonderful broidery hidden
Till many day had gone.
There were guests who came to my portal,
There were friends who sat with me,
And, clad in soberest raiment,
1 bore them company;
i knew owned the beautiful robe,
Though its spl0ndor none might see.
There were orphaned sought my care;
1 gave them tenderest pity,
But had nothing else to spare;
had only the beautiful garment
And the raiment for daily wear.
At last. on feast days coming,
thought In my dress to shine;
would please myself with the luster
OF it's shifting colors fine;
l would walk with pride in the marvel
OF its rarely rich design.
So out from the dust bore it
The lavender fell awav-
And fold on fold / held 1t up
To the searching light of day.
Alas the glory had persisted
While there in its place it lay.
Who seeks for the fadeless beauty,
Must seek for the use that seals
To the grace of a constant blessing
The beauty that use reveals.
For into the folded robe alone,
The moth with it's blighting steals.

EXPLORING MARS.
some remarks by Prof Hall, Who Mad
ObserVatiOnS.

some Remarks by Prof. Hall, Who Made
Observations.
During the recent opposition Of the
planet Mars, Prof Hall, consulting di-
rector Of the Washbuln observatory
conducted 2 series Of b5ervatiOnS at
the naval observatory in Washington.
The situation Of Mars III the last OppO-
sitiOn was unfavOratlc to astronomers
north Of the equator, but much better
opportunities will be had at the next
opposition, which occurs in 1891. The
detailed reports Of the observatory at
Arequppa. Peru. are looked forward
to with interest by astronomers. The
observatory is situated at an altitude
Of 5000 feet, and this in connection
with the fact that the opposition was
naturally seen to better advantage III
the southern hemisphere than i'll the
northern, will, it is thought, make the
results attained ut ArcQuippa more sat
iSfactory than those secured north of
the equator Prof. Hall thinks that af-
ter all the drawings of the planet while
in opposition are acceptable Il very good
map Of the surface Of Mars can be pro
duccd. lie is Of the opinion that it
will take long years Of observation to
explain the reason for the changes
which are said to occur on the surface
Of the planet. lie IS inclined to the be
lief that these changes are due to the
varying conditions Of the atmosphere
Of the earth or to that Of Mars, if the
planet has an atmosphere.
Prof. Hall made u very close study OF
the two satellites of the planet, PhOebuS
and DrimaS The inner SatalIito he
found the brighter che of the two The
WhitcnesS around the north pole of the
planet was visible to the professor, us
WAS also the white spot near the south
pole. This spot changed during the op-
position, diminishing very much in size
rs the sun shOne, which induces the be-
lief, and that it is snow. The professor
says he does not know of anything bet
ter to call it than snow. The snow
spot was also observed with Il view to
determining the position Of the equator
and the axis of Mars The professor
thinks tie OBJ ervatiOnS will show the
position of the axis to be about % de
@rees from the elliptic. He failed to see
the double lines on the surface Of the
ct supposed to be canals, which were
discovered by the Italian astronomer
Shaperalli and which were seen at the
Lick observatory on the night of Aug.
Il lie saw dark lines during his OBJ
servation but not double lines.
