which was received late tonight, fixes the loss in that little town and it's immediate vicinity at s5OO,0OO.
 Many farm houses were carried away by the mad waters, the occupants barely es- caping with their lives and the number of cattle destroyed was great. A great many gins and mills were washed away, and many saw mills saw their lumber piles melted away as if by magic. Nearly every bridge around Columbia was swept down stream. Pearl river is now higher than it has been known for many years. Miles and miles of the New Orleans and Northeastern are still under water.
 Honey Island Under Water
 Honey Island, the rendezvous of the noted train robber, Burch is under twenty feet of water. and the island which has for years been one of the naI1ral game preserves, is now devoid of wild animals. Hundreds of deer were drowned, and the hills near the banks of the Pearl river are now the temporary abiding places of all manner of four-footed life. The log booms in the neighborhood of Pearlington were carried away, and the loss sustained in this direction alone amounts to thousands of dollars Distressing news comes from Hickory, Miss. a small town on this road, which is now completely surrounded by water and inundated in many localities. Hundreds of hogs and cattle near this point were drowned, and miles of fencing and valuable timber washed away The latest advices from the town of Enterprise state that the losses there have been great and much Restitution prevails. Half a score of towns are completely cut off from the out side world as they have been since the early part of the week. From Chunky River swamps, near Enterprise, comes the news of a heavy loss of life.
 The Illinois Central road is crippled bad l ly. The New Orleans and Northeastern, | the East Louisiana and the Yazoo and Mis- sissippi Valley are as yet unable to move trains, and the Mobile and Ohio is also a heavy sufferer.

 Once upon a time the Rev Thomas K. Beecher of Elmira, N. Y, brother to Hen- ry Ward Beecher, got into some sort of a quarrel with man named Smith down at Cohoes. Thomas K. Beecher wrote the presumptuous man a defiant little note, saying curtly
 ''Do you want to get into quarrel with the Beeeher family?"
 And the man wrote. back with snarl:
 "Do you want to fight with the Smith family?"
 And no Beecher could stand that. Thom- as K. laughed and hastened to make terms

$3,OO0,0OO LOSS
The Extent ot the Disaster Not Fully
 Realized

Memphis, Tenn, April 2O.-A special to the Commercial-Appeal from New Orleans says:
 '"The flood which commenced the early part of the week has already caused, at a conservative estimate, fully $3000,0OO loss in central and southern Mississippi, to say nothing of the damages by the railroads. The extent of the losses have not yet been fully realized, and it may be some days yet before an accurate total can be reached, for mail communication has been totally cut off between those localities which have suffered most and the outside world, and telegraph lines suffered greatly, so that the news is just now beginning to arrive by wire.
 In Louisiana, too, the damage done by the unprecedented rains was great but in this state they are more inferential than positive. A special from Columbia, Miss,

OF all animals the camel would seem

self at a race yet camel races are held
regularly in the south of Algeria, where
valuable prizes are offered for the IA
enlargement of the breed OF racers:
and as much interest is taken in their
preparation and performances rs IN
that of race horses at IatOnia. The rae
ing camels are the result of very care
full breeding through many generations.
and In size, temper and appearance
they are so different from the ordinary
beast of burden that they might almost

mails. Perhaps the most conspicuous
characteristic of the ordinary camel IS
its extreme slowness Nothing on earth
will ever induce 1t to hurry. Twenty
five dollars will buy very fair Specl-
men, but for mehart or racing camel,
five OF ten times that sum is paid. The
racer. however. can be depended on for
nine or ten miles an hour. kept up !or
sixteen or seventeen hours almost win
out a stop. The pace in camel race IS
generally fast aud furious at the begia-
ming. when all the animals are together
