affairs OF this life decision Ia frequently
more important than a right decision. One
man makes up his mind and acts, It may be,
wrongfully, but, If So he finds out his mis-
take, correots aud retrieyes It, before an
other man acts at all. II is possible TO waste
more by talking, over actions. First thoughts

expanding your intellccts by study.
II Is well to take up some subject Though
with proper discrction), outside your school

that you need not do. And whether your
subject be literature, art science or politics,
II viii serve 10 brush the cobwehs from your

that the idea of culture has occasionally been

Large Areas in Arkansas Covered With
Water.

The Mississippi river levee broke yesterday
morning on the Arkansas front at Laporte,
twelve miles below Granville, and on the next
place below Sunnyside Landing. The crevasse
was 200 feet wide when the first news came to
Memphis from Greenville, Miss. The levee
that has given away was constructed during
the past winter season, and for the building Of
which much Of the supplies and material re-
quired was shipped from Memphis. This
levee broke, flooding the lower portion Of
Chicot county, Ark. in which county the cot
ton production annually averages Is, 900 bales.
The back portion Of the county has already
been flooded by the water out Of the lower
Arkansas, passing over the country and back
In & mp from the rear.
The break may also flood the upper por-
ton of Carroll parish. a rich cotton-producing
region living in the Arkansas basin between the
Mississippi river and the Bayou Macon. The
overlooked land will not be relieved Of water in
time to make a cotton crop this year.
The first news of the disaster was received ct
Memphis BY inquiry from New York as to its
extent 1t is natural that business circles should
be agitated over the matter.
Parties from above Memphis interested in
cotton plantations report large areas under
water up about Centennial Islands and around
Bradley's, twenty miles or more above the city.
flooded and nearly all subject to inundation is
now under water up that way.
The river at Memphis is close to the 80 mark
on the gauge. and is within six three inches
of the highest on record, which was at
tanned in March, 1890.
A dispatch from Greenville received at
O'Clock yesterday afternoon said that the levee
was over 200 feet wide and that portion of
Arkansas was all under water, which was flow
ing down toward Louisiana 1t WAS reported
that Arkansas City would be under water by
night.
The outlook is not fiattering for any immedi-
ate reief.as the rise is expected to continue for
two or three days yet. Well-posted observers
believe it will reach the level of extreme high
water and ii may break the record.
a slight decline has set in at Cairo. The
level there was last night three feet scant below
the highest ever known record.
The lower Ohio river Is forty feet deep, and
Its decline will be very slow for some time to
come. Meantime the water continues to flow
across the upper portion Of the ST. Francis
basin and it is covering that fine country very
fast.
At Pittsburg. Tenn, yesterday twenty-three
feet SIX inches were reported on the gauge. a
rise of about four feet in a week. The levees
along the tntire 1azoo front continue firm and
will doubtless hold against the water to come
against them. The Arkansas side however, is in
jeopardy, and it is feared much injury will
result from floods now going over its tillable
lands.
