THE MIRAGE.

with apologies to woodward Riplingl.
A genius there was and he pondered much
CAS- others are doing today
Over Indian poems and ballads and such
That read like mixture of Zulu and Dutch
They were writ by a man who'd his mind on a
crutch
(But Rudy would twitter his lay)
Oh the worry we had and the furry we had
And the midnight oil we burned,
On the word of genius who did not know
land Row we see plainly he never could know
Though be he ever so learned.
A geuius there was and much did be pore
tAs geniuses generally dol
Der the tommyrot slop of an Indian bore
In jingleow, iungleow, bungalow lore
Quintessence of abracadabra galore
(And he told us to read it through,
Oh, the reason we lose as We follow the muse
Through its qualifications unplain-
Ambiguous sentences there to confuse,
Euuivocal verses drunken with booze,
Problematcal stanzas that cause you to snooze-
Great wonder it is we are sane.
But the genius would cling to the qualmisl
thing
(As a turtle hangs onto your toe)
Endeav'ring to master the erudite fling
And the mass of conglomera ting-a-llngIlng-
The genius he died and his soul it took wing,
And his friends they did lay him quite low.
It's the thinks that we wasted and winks tina
we wasted
That to our great Misty do lend;
It's coming to know that we never could know
but there's comfort to know that the other
don't know
And never did comprehend.

THE RIVERS.

Several hundred Bryan people
visited the Brazos river Sunday at
different points,their reports Of the
flooded condition Of the bottom be-
ing much the same Bs those hereto
fore given.
4 Parties who went out east Of
town Sunday afternoon encounter
ed another terrific rain of an hour
or more which flooded the creeks
again, adding to the volume of
water in the Navasota river, which
has broken all high water records
during the present flood. 1t is
reported from two and a half to
three miles wide and seven to ten
feet higher than ever before in the
history Of the streem. This in
formation is given out by parties
who have lived on the Navasota
for years, an old colored man going
back as far as 1851. Nobody has
crossed the Navasota, so far as.the
reporter has been able TO learn for
several days, and there has been
no communication with Madison
Vile or other points across the
river. The Navasota rose nine
inches Sunday and five inches Sun
day night, and had been coming
up rapidly previous to that time
for twenty four hours, during
which rise of forty-four inches
was reported up to Saturday
morning. There are probably NJ
county bridges left on the Navaso
ia river, anywhere along its cours'
from miles above Bryan to Tho
Iti5razos.
II. w. McConnico crossed th,
Brazos at Pitts Bride, pulling hi
boat across the toll bridge Sunday

ABOUT CROPS.

The general opinion is that crops
IN the Brazos bottom are gone be-
gond redemption. Practically all
bf the bottom is under water. Parts
lof plantations in the western part
Of the bottom adjacent 10 Pitts
Bridge appear to have escaped.
The water was reported muddy
yesterday from Little river flowing
in above which in the minds Of
many destroys any hope Of the
cotton coming out. Some reports
ofreplanting have been current,
and some have advised that if the
cotton is cut off just above the
ground as oon as the water goes
down il will come out and make
something. supt. J. NJ. Lee is one
Of those who holds to this latter
view.
| Capt. Geo. w. Smith, one Of the
best known cotton men in the state
fwired New York Sunday afternoon,
in response TO inquiry, estimating
the loss on the cotton crop i'm the
bottom from Waco TO the guilt at a
half million bales. Others who
are we'll posted say this estimate is
conservative.
Late reports indicate that crops
OH the hills are not much hurt in
many places, and some claim cot
ton will make much more than II
the rains had net come and a
drouth, such as was threatened,
had ensued. Corn will also come
out very well on the hills it is
thought.
In the creek bottoms the situa-
tion is more serious. In many
places the crops have been washed
down, washed completely away OF
remained under water for some
time, and are destroyed. In other
places they have Jared better and
tits hoped they will make some
thing.
