iron bridges and other property have
been destroyed. A special from Chip
pewa Falls reports great destruction in
Chippewa River valley. all railways
report washouts and no trains from
north or west will reach Milwaukee I'M
til this evening.
Black river falls was in danger and
the west wing was blown down to save
the rest of the structure. This sent a
vast food down the valley on Black
river falls.
The water sweeping down Black
River valley struck River Falls at one
o'clock this morning. The fire alarms
were rung and the people hurried from
their homes to aid those living in the
lower part of the city. The dam Of
the prairie mill checked the rush of
water for few minutes, but gave
way Two big bridges were swept
from their fastenings. Several small
buildings followed. Mealy's starch fac
tory went down the stream. Another
large bridge went next, but all families
on the low ldndS were rescued Al

dred thousand feet of logs. Every
bridge in Tiffany creek is gone. Many
dwellings in the lower part. of the vii

MRS. cLEyELAND,s RECEPTIONS.

A young woman has written to the
Cleveland Plain Dealer an account of a
visit to the White House made by party
of women from Cleveland She says:
Eve passed through the main vestibule
the Red room to the Blue room, where our
hostess smilingly awaited us. great
many of us were very much surprised
when we caught the first glimpse of her,
as we did not expect to see such ma
jestic-looking woman. Her hair is dark
and she wears it away from her forehead
coiled simply at the back. Her eyes are
blue shaded by dark lashes. and her COM
plexion pale, but not not w with the paleneSs
sweet smile. With what feelings we APP
preached can better be imagined than de
scribed Here we were trying to realize
that smiling woman before us was the
highest lady in the land AS we drew near
her our names were announced by our
chaperon and our hostess greeted US with
a warm hand-shake, and 1 say warm
hand-shake in the true sense of the word
for the hand was ungloved. over dark
skirt she wore a very light tan three
quarter coat, finished with a broad brown
velvet collar, which was edged with lace.

sculpture and once adorned the temple
of Minerva, in Athens, as member of
a group of female forms It was brought
to this country long before the war by
Commodore Boyle, before Lord Elgin
carried most of the Athenian works OF
art to London. Commodore Boyle pre-
scented it to DR.. Boyle, of White Sulphur
Fauquier Springs, Va, and it stood in
the doctors garden until the war broke
out During the invasions of the South
Union soldiers used the old garden statue
as a target for indiscriminate gun prac-

and so mutilated it that it lost all sem
blance to its former self. During pro-
tracted course of vicissitudes it fell into
Mr. Flannery's hands, and now stands at
the door of his workshop, merely for the
traditional respect it inspires in his heart.

MARRIAGES THE RESULT OF PANIC.

mot few marriages are the result of a
panic on the part of the women" declares
one who has had the courage of her COIL
victions. and who has chosen to remain
single rather than marry simply for the
sake of being married. In the early part
Of her girlhood a woman is apt to think
all she has to do is to wait and amuse
herself in the interval; that the future
holds the fairy prince who is sure to pre-
sent himself sooner or later, and that he
will be all that she would have him be.
She has made UP her mind what he is to
be like, and what must be bis various
qualifications, and she even chooses men
tally the color of his eyes and his general
appearance. She is so sure of her future
and that the right man will finally put in
an appearance, that she gives little or no
throllght to present suitors, and remains
in maiden meditation fancy free until
suddenly she realizes the awful fact that
the wears are passing, that her chances
are becoming lessened and that the fairy
prince is a mirage after all.
.'It is then that the average woman will,
in nine cases out of ten, take the first
available candidate that offers, rather
than remain unmarried. Her family eX-
pects her to marry, she is brought UP to
no occupation; what the world will say
she has been accustomed to consider all
important So, rather than run the chance
of remaining single, she elects to unite
herself. for better or worse, to some COM
paratiVe stranger, who may be utterly I'M
congenial the match being, as 1 say, simp-
ly the result of a panic. New York

HOW HARD TIMES MAKE SOLDIERS

1t is in interesting fact that hard times
usually bring plenty of recruits to the
United States army A recruiting ser
geant told me yesterday that it is easier
now to recruit a good class Of young men
years.
You see,' he said. there are hundreds
of young fellows who usually earn good
enough wages in the mills and factories
of New York, Newark, and other cities
in this city, who have been out of
work during the past winter. When every
other resource seems to be exhausted
many of these young fellows turn to
Uncle Sam and enlist in his service
'It isn't patriotism nor love of adven-
ture that impels them to put on the
blue. 1t is stern necessity. The pay is
poor and the task hard, but they enlist,
many of them, rather than turn to beg
gary or theft.-New York Herald.
