The following tribute is from tue
New York Mail and Express;
There is nowhere visable q finer ex-
ample Of old fashioned American
pluck and industry than that pre-
scnted by the farmers and planters
in The lower Mississippi valley,
whose lands were recently swept
away by the great food. These UNI
daunted victims of misfortune are
already hard At work restoring iheir
devastated farms; vast areas but
lately covered first with the waters
and then with the debris OF the angry
freshet. have been reclaimed and are
again smiling with the. tender yer
dure OF budding corn and cotton
and the Whole vast region, which on
Il 4 few weeks ago seemed like
hopeless desolation, is once more
sunny garden rich in its promise 9
harvest returns. For the grit an
energy with which they have met tn
results of the destructive overflow
and for the cheeriulness, conddenc
ant! success with which they have III
dertaken the task OF rebuilding the
-
wrecked estates, the people OF u
fiood-swept region are deserving I
III nraise. They are Americans
the true sort, and no disaster ca
keep them down.
