pEATH AND RUIN.
Terrible Destruction OF Life and Property
by Floods in Mississippi.


COLUMBUS Miss, April 1.-THE last
four days have been the most distress
ing this section has ever experienced.
Wednesday morning the Tombigbee
river, already full, began rising rapidly.
BY Thursday morning all the low lands
were submerged, the river having risen
fourteen feet that night 1t continued
to rise all that day and by Friday morn
ing it was seven feet higher than was
ever known before. Black and Luxapil
creeks joined their waters with the
Tombigbee and Columbus was then
literally an island with five miles of
water in every direction. There has
been great loss of life, and immense
property destroyed. Fourteen negroes
were drowned within a few miles OF
this place. low estimate puts the
loss at fifty in this county. No whites
have been reported drowned.
The food has carried destruction in
all directions Hundreds Of homes have
been swept away, miles and miles OF
fences destroyed and the loss Of mules

creeks rose so rapidly that a great num-
Der of people were aroused from their
slumbers by the rush of water through
their houses and of course could save
none OF their household effects. AS
soon as the extent of the flood was
llnswn the city government had great
number Of boats manned and reScuing
parties began their labors of mercy.
Hundreds were saved and brought to
this city and are now being cared for
by the citizens. There are no less than
600 negroes here now being sheltered
and fed by the city and county jointly.
The loss has been SO great that the
mayor Of the city and the board of SUI
pervisors have telegraphed Hon. John
Allen. congressman from this district,
asking him TO appeal to the federal gov
ernment for aid

Gray squirrels Of Central Park.

Central park is the great squirrel center
of the county and prabably more of the
little rodents are found to the square acre
in this public pleasure ground than in
their most favorite haunts among the wild
nut groves. Their exact number has new
er been accurately ascertained, but irreg-
ular attempts to take their census have re-
salted in the remarkable disclosure of II
population running up into the thousands.
The gray squirrel colony increases rap
idly every year. So tame and lively do
they become in early spring while hunt
ing for food that they will often approach
visitors to the park and almost beg for
food. If nut is thrown to them, they
will approach within half dozen feet to
get 1t, and then run away to some tree to
nibble II.
During their breeding season they are
very wary and shy. They seldom ap-
proach their nests directly, but run up
neighboring trees and jump from branch
to branch until they have completely be-
wildered those below. Their antics at
such times are of great interest to all pc
destrians. When the young ones are first
able to run about the park is full of small
families running over the fields in search
of nuts.
AT one time the common gray squirrels
were so abundant in the eastern states that
they were considered a scourge by the
farmers and heavy premiums were offered
for their destruction. They destroyed
grain crops as well as fruit orchards. But
gunners and sportsmen have long since
reduced their numbers, SO that it is rarely
one finds large colony of them in any
woods -Harper's Weekly.

AFTER EIGHTEEN YEARS.

Belief Grows Stronger That the Lost
Charley Ross Has Been Discovered In
Missouri.
BLoDGETT, Mo-, April 11.-If James
Willett, Of Benton, Mo-, is not Charley
Ross, the mystery of his life is an as
founding duplication of the story of
Charley Ross as known for the past
eighteen years. Willett was seen Sun
day and talked freely of the strange Sc
cret lying somewhere back in the his
tory of his boyhood days, For eighteen
years now he has known that there was
this unsolved mystery in his life, but
with that knowledge he has also been
content TO grow up farm lad, making
no effort TO find any clew that might
lead to the discovery Of relatives.
The fact that he was stolen from
home, according to his own story, at
the identical time of the abduction of
Charley Ross that a picture Of himself
taken WITHIN year Of the Charley Ross
abduction bears striking likeness to
the Ross picture published in Harper's
Weekly in 1874, and other chcumstan-
tial evidence, has apparently made less
impression on Willett than any one else.
Willett describes his abduction by two
men whose faces and forms are still
vivid. He remembers being snatched
mp In front of house in city; also
hurried trips hither and thither, now on
rail and again aboard a steamboat. He
remembers having rode night after
night in an open slSiff and Of having
watched the stars Until sldmber came.
He was called a son by one OF his abb
ductors and remembers the childish in
dignation and responsiveness felt at
being called the mans child.

EoRGER RIpWELL.

Who swIndled tho Bank Of England,
Makes Curious Appeal for the Release
of Another Criminal.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 11.-George C.
Ridwell, recently pardoned by the En-
giish authorities while under sentence
for the noted Bank Of England for
geries, has made a curious appeal TO
: the San Quentin prison authorities for
che release Of John Mcdonald, who Is
serving q ten-year sentence for for
gerry committed here four years ago.
Mcdonald was convicted OF having q
wooden die Of S. sank Of England
note. Bidwell says hat McDonald's in
carceration is due, nut To an attempt TO
defraud the Bank of England by the
issuance OF forged notes, but TO use
them in an endeavor to secure the re-
lease Of his brother, George Mcdonald,
a pal Of Bidwell's. from the English
prison where he Is now serving life
sentence.
Bidwell claims that Mcdonald, in or
der TO get his release from prison, de-
vised a scheme TO bring pressure on the
bank. lie sent word to his brother John
TO procure die of a Is note, strike off
package of them and forward 1t TO an
agreed upon address in Paris. This done
George would make an appeal to the
bank for clemency on the promise OF
furnishing the location Of other forged
notes. The scheme was very cunning
one, but in some manner II miscarried
and John was arrested and imprisoned.

THEARmY ANDTHE RIOTERS.

The OregOnidn of October End, pub
fishes vigorous defence of the army by
Col. Thomas M. Anderson, in answer to
the refusal of some of the Labor Unions
of Chicago to take part in the Column
clan parade, because the military head
ing the procession had been used against
organized labor at Homestead, Buffalo
and in the C1ur d Alene country. Col.
Anderson says: "If the laws made in the
interest of labor were forcibly violated
by capitalists, we should be used on the
side of labor and should act as willingly.
The whole department of justice is ex-
pressly organized, as Blackstone says,
first, to protect the rights of persons, and
next, the rights of things. If there is any
law which presses unfairly upon labor,
the remedy under our form of govern
ment is not resistance, but repeal. The
army Is not an enemy to labor or friend
to capital. 1t is simply an instrument.
1t is the spearhead of the spear of pOpu-
lar power. The communists seem to
think that they would have an easy task
if they could get rid of the soldiers. This
is grave mistake. 1t is the farmers
they will have to fight when it comes to
to fight to a finish. This will be very
hard to do, for your honest granger not
only fights most Internally, but the rest
of the world is dependent on him for
something to eat" Col. Anderson
further shows that the combinations in
this country TO resist authority, are of
foreign importation. In the only instance
he recalls wherein the regular troops
have fired on mob, it was composed en-
tirely of foreigners. That was in the
Bowery, in New York city, during the
draft riots of 1868. A mob attacked two
companies of the 18th Infantry, with the
result that the street was covered with
the bodies of killed and wounded rioters.
There was, he says, not a native or nat
uralized citizen among the ten thousand
miners brought down to kill the Chinese
during the Evansville riots of 1885 on the
Union Pacific railway. Of the 200 pris-
oners taken during the Ceur d'Alene
riots only ten per cent. were born in this
country, and these were of foreign par
entage.
Col. Anderson's article suggests the
question that is speedily coming up for
settlement in this country; that is, as to
how far we can permit the rurthcr indis-
criminate importation of men so utterly
foreign in spirit that we can never infuse
them with American nationality.-Free

minute particles of vegetable matter
brought to it by the water. They have
no jaws nor teeth, and breathe by means
of membraneous plates attached to the
inner surface; they have no power of 10
c0motion; it is said, however, that they
can turn themselves if placed upside
down. Some writer's say that oysters
have eyes; they are certainly sensible of
light, for in passing an oyster bed have
noticed that whenever the shadow of the
boat reached it they closed their shells
with swapping sound. .........
Great quantities of the young some
times attach themselves to the shells of
old ones by a calcareous growth and
thus form 'oyster BANKS which fill up
shallow parts of the sea, and form walls
which effectually resist the waves and
tide. These banks are called 'raccoOn
banks;" the 'coons' come down at
night and feed upon them. There are a
great many along the alluVial shores OF
Georgia and Florida.
This calcareous growth is very strong,
and frequently great numbers of shells
are fastened together, forming what
looks like an irregular shaped rock. In
beds along the Florida coastI have often
tried to pick up an oyster, and brought
out large lump or cluster which proved
to be a dozen or more fastened firmly to-
gether, requiring considerable strength
to break them apart.
Looking from my window in Florida
last winter, used to see the fishermen
standing near the waters edge In their
rubber boots, busily opening oysters for
market. 1t was interesting to watch
them and see with what rapidity they
executed their work, their only equip
ment being barrel turned upon one
end, Ratchet, knife and bucket. With
the Ratchet the sharp end of the shell
was broken, then with a quick twist of
the knife, the oyster was forced open and
landed in the buckt; the shells were used
on the streets, and few roads are more
smooth than the shell roads of Florida.
The growth of the oyster is slow, it
being but little larger than half dollar
at the end of siz months; in favorable
situations, however, the common oyster
Crews rapidly, and is ready for the table
in year and a half or two years. A
common size is five to six inches long,
but it grows to a length of foot and
from four to six inches wide.
The wholesale oyster trade of New
York city is said to be twenty-five mil
lion dollars annually. The pearl oyster
is found along the coast of tropical coun-
tries, great numbers together being at
tached to submarine rocks at considera-
BILE depth: the inside is covered with a
thick layer of nacre or mother of pearl. T"
These oysters are too rank and coarse to
be eaten. When taken from the sea they
are exposed to the sun until they die,
then the shells can be easily opened and
the pearls sought ford. W. DOugherty,
