THE TEXAS FLOOD.-The weather
bureau has issued q special bulletin on
the recent flood in the Brazos River
district, Texas. The bulletin Is accom-
panied by q map and tables showing
phenomenal rain falls.
Prof. II. A. Hazen, in an introduct-
ory article, says: "It must be said that
after allowing for all the conditions we
still have most serious difficulty in
accounting for such rains, which are
analogous to so.called cloudbursts,
about which almost nothing Is known"
|. M. Cline, tho Texas forecast
official, says In his report that in places
the river was more than twelve miles
wide. The damage to crops has been
very great. There vas large acreage
In cotton, corn, sugar cano and other
crops. Cotton planters have suffered
most. Sugar cane plantations In tho
BrazOs bottoms have suffered much.
In some places half the crop has been
destroyed. Farming implements, stock
and many OF tho small tenant houses
in the bottoms have been washed away.
Total Iosse', judging from reports and
other available Information, will az
gregate nearly $lO,O00,000.
Action has already been taken by
some farmers to plant other crops
where cotton and corn have been de-
stroycd. Some cotton will be planted,
but to what extcnt cannot DO even ap.
proxlmated. 1t is desired to make tho
district self-sustaining as soon as pos
stbie, and many who have interests
along the Brazos River consider this
the best course to pursue.

FORTUNE FOR MRS. TALMAGE.-
After little more than year Of welded
bliss, the Rev. II. Dewitt Talmage
finds himself the opulent husband Of q
woman with brand new check for
$lS0,000. The check bears the sigma
ture OF officials Of the big hoop trust,
and represents Mrs. Talmages interest
in the Lindsay s. McCutcheon cotton
tie mills. Several weeks ago Thomas
G. McCutCheon and James II Nc.
Cutcheon, active members of the plant,
were approached by agents of the hoop
combination, who offered $G50000 for
the concern. Then and there the deal
was settled. Mrs. Talmage's part in
the transaction rests upon the fact
that she Is daughter and heiress of
James McCutcheon, who was the
founder Of the old firm. She is q sister
Of James 81 and Thomas G. McCu.ch-
con. When she married the well
known divine she was the widow Of
the late Charles Collier. The wedding
took place in Allegheny over year
ago. The Rev. w. J. Robinson Off
ciated and it was the social surprise
OF the year. Now Mrs. Talmage
brings to her clerical husband a for

NOT A WELCOME ADDITIONAL
couple OF tourists who were journeying
on horseback In the rural district OF
the South had ridden many miles when
they came to q email log cabin, out of
which children of all sizes and ages
came swarming out like bees from q
hive.
The tourists were tired and raven
ously hungry. Hailing an old negro
at tho cabin gate they told him that
they had come to take dinner with
him.
"Yo' is wolcum, gemmen I" he said.
" ain't got much to eat, but I'll do the

Then raising his voice to shrill
yell, he said :

one OF the tourists.

Carl Sumner was a man Of great
qualities and of small defects. His
bIemishes, which were easily discerned,
were temperamental rather than NOR
al. He had not the sort of imaglna-
ton which enables a man to enter
easily into the feelings Of others, and
this deficiency on his part sometimes
resulted in unnecessary rudeness, says
the Atlantic Monthly. Charles Sum-
ner's appearance was seriously meta
morphosed by severe attack Of ty-
phoid fever which he suffered, l think.
In 1S43 or 1874. After his recovery he
gained much in flesh and entirely lost
that ungainliness of aspect which once
led friend to compare him to a geom-
etrical line. length without breath or
thickness" He now became a man OF
strikingly nne presence. his great
height being Offset by corresponding
fullness OF figure. His countenance
was strongly marked and very indi-
vidual. the features not handsome In
themselves, but the whole effect very
pleasinsly impressive. He had but
Nttle sense Of .humor, and was not at
home in the small cut-and-thrust skir-
mishes Of general society. He was

amusing anecdotes have been told. At
an ohicial ball in Washington he re-
marked to a young lady who stood be-
side him: I'VE are fortunate in having
these places for standing here; We
shall see the nrst entrance of the new
English and French ministers into

replied, II am glad to hear 1t. I like
to see liens break the ice." Sumner
was silent for few minutes, but pres-
emily said: Miss -, In the country
