TEMPERANCE.

THE HUMkELLBk . bOAsIs
Say! What is the use Of this noise and
abuse2
Those temperance cranl8 can't expect me
To quit selling gin, just bee ,use Of their din,
While I've licease and law to protect me-.
They scold, rant and pirate; but they don't
hesitate
To take Of my profits to build them
A poorhouse or Jail, and when did I fail
To furnish the subjects that fill them?
The stories they tell OF the liquors l sell,
And my other ill-deeds, are a libsl.
For such borrid abuse they can find no ex'
cuse;
Though they claim that they can in their
Bible.
vt, why should 1 care? Though sometimes,
I declare,
Their abusive remarks are provoking;
While I'm the r~ight-bower OF the party In
power
1 can treat item as though they we're
joking.

Madison parish, Is flooded by Biggs
crevasse, though not deeply.
NATcHEz, Miss, April 20.-A tale Of
woe comes from Bayou Videl, in the

the people there unprepared and un-
aware of danger. Word was sent out

be dispatched at once, as the people
were drowning. How many were
actually dead is unknown, but Thomas
Blackburn, his wife and infant are
known to have been drowned. 1t is

THE FLOOD DISTRICT.
A Disastrous Break il, the Louisiana .evees.

LITTLE Roca, ARK, April Il. Gov.
Jones to-day received telegram from
his privatcsecrctary, whois distributing
funds in the flooded district, stating
that u most deplorable state of affairs
exists in Monroe county. He estimates
that there are 1900 people and 1000
head of stock in that county in need of
immediate assistance to prevent strarva-
ton. This estimate, he says, is con-
servative. The people have been tenn
porarily relieved by the Memphis and
Little Rock relief committees, but the
stock is dying FOR want Of food. No
crops Were made there last year on ac
"oeut If tle DROUGHT and there is no
FEED in the county.
NIcKsBuRG, Miss, April 1.-THE
clevasse in the Biggs levee, La, about
SIX miles below this city, was LEO feet
wide at last reports and rapidly widen
ing. The water is rushing through
with q roar like Niagara and all day
long refugees have been fleeing to this
city with their stock and other pro-
perty. The water was fifteen feet deep
against the levee when it broke and
the men who were on the spot say that
it poured through in vast circular
masses or whirlpools twenty feet high.
A large part of Madison, Tensas,
Catalonia and Concordia parishes
were overhowed by it and the resulting
distress will he very great, The num-
Der of refugees in the city has been
largely increased and they are coming
on every boat. The water flooded the
Vicksburg, Shreveport & Pacific Rail-
road in few hours and the trains
west of this place are abandoned in
consequence. The town of Delta is
overhowed deeply, and planters say
that the water will back up to NELLIE
kins bend, sixteen miles north.
Three white I.prsons, two men and
woman, passed twelve hours in the
midst of the fury of the crevasse,
perched in tree. The water reused
them from their beds and they had
only time to seek safety in its boughs
when the mighty flood was upon them.
They made their presence known by
pistol shots during then right and
several attempts to rescue them were
made, but it was not until 10a. M,
when an adventurous crew from the
steamer Eta Ethridge.
Mate John Birdwell and Deckhands
Frank Goodrich and Henry Hubbard,

ri know it is unprecedented, my DEAR"
said the popular minister to his wife, with
a look of firm determination upon his face.
Il know the public will consider me a sensa-
tional, unorthodox innovator, but some
thing must be done to fill the church and
bring me into notice"
But" said his wife, consider what an
abnormal, extraordinary and unparalleled
thing it is you propose. l have never been
in favor of your discussing in the pulpit
subjects that will startle and invite criticism
from the congregation and public. Why
not confne yourself, as other preachers do,
to matters that they naturally expect from
a minister of the gospel?'
''They no longer attract attention" said
the minister ''The people now demand
something new and electrifying, and | think
have hit upon plan of discourse that will
create a furore in the religious world. [
have decided to abandon the old beaten
paths and give them something next Sunday
that will come like thunder clap upon the
congregation"
Very WE'LL" said his wife, with sigh of
resignation, ''if you have fully determined to
take a text from the Bible l will try no
longer to dissuade you Chicago Tribune.

From the News, Hamilton, Ohio.
From no one in this city has DR.. Williams
Pink Pills received more unstlnted praise
than from Miss David, of No. Is, North B
Street. Hamilton, Ohio. Seldom one hears
of such favorable results from the use OF
medicine, as was effected in the case IN

prompted to make public statement OF her
are unfortunate enough to be afflicted, and
no one among Miss David's large circle, OF
friends and acquaintance could possibly
question the lady's motive in making such
a statement Miss David has resided IN this
city for years and is connected with the
Traber family, one of the Oldest and most
honored in Butler county.
Speaking to News representative, Miss
David said:
although I have resided in Hamilton
for quite a while, l am originally native
Of Pennsylvania, and it was while on visit
in Philadelphia number of years ago, that
| suffered very severe attack of diphtheria,
it being in the most malignant form. Sub
sequently, my whole system became affected
IN sympathy, as it were, and it was only a
short time until became so debilitated and
run down that l had given up nearly all
hope of recovery. [ tried many remedies
and spent much money in an effort to regain
my health, but to no avail.
Zone day in looking over a Philadelphia
paper, my attention was attracted to the
Pink Pill advertisement and | resolved to
give it trial. Not anticipating results so
soon, you can imagine my great surprise and
pleasure to soon notice beneficial results.
The old numb feeling in my limbs, for | had
also received a partial stroke of paralysis,
gradually disappeared as if by magic-and
my whole system was soon on the mend In
fact, at the very outset the medicine worked
a wonderful change in my whole body and
thanks to the efficacy of the little Pink Pills,
[ am \ greatly improved woman to-day. I
only wish that everyone afflicted could try
this remedy, for l feel certain that speedy
cure would be the inevitable result

He is Gathering His Forces for an At
tack Upon Peshawur.
LONDON, Sept. 2.-The Times Thurs
day morning publishes dispatch from
Chakdara saying it appears that Had
dab Mullah has abandoned the idea of
attacking the Khan Dir and is gather
ing his forces for an attack upon Pes
hawur. All the tribes in this district
have been quiet since its occupation.
The upper Sway country hither-
to has been comparatively I'M
known 1t has not been visited
by organized troops since the time
of Alexander the Great. The Swatis
deemed their country inaccessible,
the only entrance to it being by a mar
row causeway barely wide enough to
admit one man at time, hanked on
one side by raging torrent and on the
other by precipitous cliffs fortified by
stone breastworks
The news regarding the Indian from
tier troubles is indefinite and fragmen-
tarv, and it is difficult To follow the
varying movements of the British
forces which are apparently decided
in consequence OF the quickly chang
ing gatherings of the tribesmen
News has been received of fresh
accessionS to the forces of the
insurgents and of the appearance of
various fanatics who are endeavoring
to stir those ,tribesmen who are re-
luctant to join the revolt to attack the
British. There is every probability
that al attack will be made by the
British at some point within few
days The attack upon the British
post Gazarbund, Beluchistan, is not of
great Importance. The station at
GaZarbund is small one.
The ConstantinOple correspondent of
the Daily Telegraph says that after
careful inquiries, be is convinced that
the sultan's personal influence among
the MuSsulmans in north west India is
non-eXiStcnt.
There is no doubt, the correspond
ent says, that the suggestion that the
sultan instigated the trouble is fiatter-
ing to his vanity, but it is quite clear
that nothing can restore to the sultan
his prcponderance in the MuSSulman
world.
