slbly 500, 900 will be required for i'm
mediate use.
Precedents are not wanting that in
such emergencies as this, congress has
taken prompt, generous and intelligent
action, involving the expenditure Of
considerable sums Of mon%Y, with sat.
lsfs.tory results. In 1874, s60o, 900 was
appropriated, and in 1882, $3.50, 600 was
appropriated for relief in the same
direction, beside large sums in other
years.
Work Of the Ne m phis Committee.
The citizens relief committee OF
Memphis, which has taken prompt
action, has already cared for from 5000
to 7 900 refugees from the flooded dis
tricts, and they are still arriving IN
that city in large numbers daily. Sup
plies and provisions have been sent to
the various points in Arkansas and
, Mississippi, by this committee, but the
most that can be done by these efforts
is to partly relieve the most acute cases

! taken for the great majority OF the In
| habitants living i'll the interior, whose
! condition has already been described.
| Under these conditions, having ex-
erted themselves to the fullest extent,
the local authorities have reluctantly
confessed their inability to further cope
with this distressing situation unalded
by relief from the government.
1t has therefore seemed e me that
the representatives of the peof.e should
be promptly Informed Of the nature
and extent of the suffering, and needs
of these stricken people, and l have
communicated these facts in the hope
and belief that the legislative branch
of the government will promptly rein
force the work of the local authoritie
in the states named.

WARRINGTON, April S.-The presi-

like resolution was introduced in the
house by Mr.. Catchings of Mississippi
except that the amount was fixed at
$500, 900.
The senate passed the Jones resolu-
ton and the house the Catchings reso
luton. This would have left an awk-
ward situation, but the senate yielded
precedence to the house and recalled
its resolution, and then promptly passed
the house resolution, which went tC

The resolution includes the Red

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Appeal Made to Congress Which Brought
Quick Response.
WASHINGTON, April s.-The president
sent the following message to the sen.
ate and house of representatives:
Information which has recently come
to me from the governors of Arkansas,
Mississippi and Louisiana, and from
prominent citizens of these states and
Tennessee, warrants the conclusion
that widespread distress, involving the
destruction of large amount of prop
erty and loss of human life has resulted
! from the floods which have been sub
merging that section of the country.
These are stated, on reliable authority,
to be the most destructive floods that
have ever devastated the Mississippi
valley, the water being much higher
than the highest stage it has reached
before. From Marion, Ark. north of
Memphis, to Greenville, Miss, dis.
tance of more than $50 miles by river,
it is reported there are now at least 80
towns and villages under water, and a
territory extending from 100 miles
north of Memphis to 200 miles south,
and from to 40 miles wide, is sub.
merged. Hundreds of thousands Of
acres Of cultivated soil, with growing
crops, are included in the submerged
territory. In this section alone,
there from $4,000 to $4,000 people,
whose property has been destroyed.
and whose business has been suspend.
ed. Growing crops have been ruined,
thousands of cattle have been drowned,
and the inhabitants Of certain areas
threatened with starvation. AS great
majority of the sufferers are small
farmers, they have thus been left en-
tirely destitute, and will be unprepared
for work even after the floods have
subsidized.
The entire Mississippi valley in Ar
kansas is flooded, and communication
with many points cut off. In Mlssls
sippi like condition exists. The
levees in Louisiana, with single ex
ception, have held; but the water i
rising and the situation there is re
ported as being extremely critical.

Great interest has been created
in astronomical circles, says the
Scientific American, by some of
the results reached by Professor
Simon Newcomb in his more re.
cent Investigations. One of these
is that astronomers have been
overestimating the distance of the
stars, and the other that our uni
verse has, after all, a fairly we'll.
defined limit. The first of these
conclusions Professor Newcomb
bases on an idea that the stars
which are called the smaller ones,
because they are less bright, may
not be large stars at very great
distance, but perhaps smaller or
DINNER ones nearer at hand. The
old idea is familiar to all, namely,
that all the stars are of the same
brightness, and that the fainter
ones are at very much greater
distance from us than the bright
ones; this theory, however, has
been weakened by later discov-
cries, such as, for example, that ST.
RUS has a companion whose light,
if equal surfaces be considered, is
but fraction of that of its prin-
cipal; and astronomers have come
to recognize dim stars, or even
dark ones, like the companions of
Algol, about which 30 much has
lately been written, to be quite as
common, perhaps, in the universe
as the bright ones. Professor
Newcomb's proposition as to the
limits of the universe is regarded
as even more novel and striking,
suggesting, as it does, the possibi-
lily that some day all the stars
will be seen.

An interesting discovery from
a geological point of view was re
Gently made, says LIE Genie Civil,
by an explorer in the mountains
of Whites Hook, Natal. On the
summit of an extinct volcano, on
the edge of a lake that occupies
the crater, soundings revealed a
layer of sand inclosing small
diamonds. 1t would be interest
ing to know whether these
diamonds were there accidentally,
that is, as the result of washing
operations carried on by the
natives, or whether this discovery
corresponds to an actual mine of
diamonds, for the hills of Witzies
Hook are not situated in regions
known to be diamond bearing.
On the last hypothesis, the pres
ence of precious stones in the
crater of q volcano would doubt
less throw some light on the
formation of the gems in nature.

Have You
An Account?

This is a serious question
one at which some folks take
offense, yet statesmen are under
the necessity of asking it.
Some folks deal near home,
settle infrequently, never in
vestigate to see whether they
pay more than they should and
too often allow their accounts to
go long over due. If you don't
care what the family expenses
are it's a poor way to do if you
want to leave your children in
affluent circumstances when
you are gone. Now it is quite
an advantage to have an open
account at a well-known house,
who can execute your order
promptly. Often persons say
they don't want an account and
will pay in a few days. But
we cannot keep memoranda Of
charges; it isn't safe or good
business. The stock found in
ordinary stores is usually stale,
uninviting and inferior, while
the stock in our store is turned
so frequently and so carefully
watched that it is at all times
fresh. Our stock in trade con-

cacies from every civilized ma
