The total increase in population in the decade was, in round numbers, 12,000,000, and of this 2,390,228 was in the 100 cities specified. The" total population in 1880 was f>0.1C0,0C0; of this 9,098,154 was in the 100 principal cities. Thus we have almost twenty per cent, of the entire population in cities having 20,000 inhabitants aud upward. When it is considered that the wealth of a nation rests npen its mineral and agricultural ] roducts chiefly, tho census figures, .' bowing tho distribution of population, are startling. A largo proportion of tho city population is engaged in various industries, but the whole i# doi-venfirinf fnr cni.nnrf nnon tho lulinrs ftf I - "i jL?-- "f? ? the tillers of the soil, and it is probably within bounds to Fay that not over thiity-three per ccni.of the population of the country mo engaged in agricultural j pursuits. Yet tho latter constitute the life of the nation. Strike them out and the nation would die; but strike out those who have crowded iuto the cities, and the nation would still live. Yet, in the face of theEe facts, the tendency is to*cities and from tho country. This is particularly true of young men. The disposition is to get away from farm life, nnd this accounts for the greater proportionate increase of the ' population of cities as compared with ; that of tlie country. As it; is, tfiere are too many people in the cities and a deficiency of muscle in the coun'ry. It is also to be remarked that ninetenths of the poverty and crime of the nation are in the cities, and it was upon * this phaso, no doubt, the remark was fonndrd tlmt God made tho countrvand man the city. If it were possible to change the current, and within the decade show a 1 greater proportionate increase in the country than in the city, Eociety would be better, and the whole country would be better. There is a held in this direction for (dncational work that is broad and inviting. The composition, too, of this city population is worthy of analysis. Take, for example, a few of the largest cities, and we have these exhibits : [Millt>. Female. Native. Fnr'n.

Trninins a Ilrifrr. A heifer should be trained as soon as t is weaned. She should then be altered and made used to bo tied up nd handled and led bv the halter. She i ihould be carded and brushed, and her j idder and teats handled frequently j intil sho becomes used to it. A month \ )r two before she calves sho should be j ied up and brushed, and the udder j ubbed and the teats pulled ; taught; :o lift the leg and keep it out of ' ;he way of the milker, and generally : Jitciplined.

Dr. Lawes, of Rothampstead, Eng- ; land, found in the course of his experi- j ments in wheat growing that a certain ; field wet: 1.1 produce fifteen bushels of j wheat aunually per acre without the nUntAT-A. appilCtUlUll Ui ttUj mnuuio rruutciu. i The application of a small amount of 1 nitrogen enabled him to double the j crop, showing that for the time being, at least, nitrogen was in less supply than the other required elements. But he also found, that if he added the nitrogen in the form of stable manure, he was applying it at an expense of four or five times as great as if he applied it in the form of sulphate of ammonia. The lesson to be learned by such experiments is that there Is no best manure or fertilizer for all Boils, nor is the same manure certain to be the best for a given soil in all years. The soil is constantly changing under cultivation and cropping and the most intelligent system of munuring is the one which supplies just what the present crop re- j quires in order to reach a maximum j growth. Selling beets and potatoes noon exhausts a soil of its potash, and therefore potash must bo applied freely or some other crop grown that will require less. I'rcvnrioK ('nhbo p lor Fowts. A correspondent or the rouliry ButMii) and lircord gives the following mode of 6aviDg and preparing green food, especially cabbage leave?, for fowls in winter: It seems necessary for and benefical to chickens to feed at all times on same green food. Duriug summer it is quite easy to supply their wants, and our pets can get all they require if they are allowed free range, but i it is nfcjssary for us to provide for the hard winter months. A cheap and prac tical way to obtain green food duriDg winter is the following method: Take all the outside loaves of cabbage, which are generally thrown away as useless, and put them iu layers with common common rock salt, in either, for tbat purpose, earthen pits or clean barrels;1 stamp as solid as possible, cover it up j well and let it ferment. In a very i short time a veritable sour cabbage is j obtained which will keep through win- j tc-r and will prove, as an addition to j their regular food, very valuable to our j pets. The cabbago can be given raw, | but it is preierable to feed it cooked, in i a lukewarm condition. The chickens j eat it with great relish and thrive won- i derfully, -s it does not only add to their ! good condition during the hard and i cold winter months, but induces them j to commenco laying early and continue diligently. Experience lias shor/n in Germany the merits of feeding soar cabbfgt, and I can only advise the readetn of your valuable journal to give it n fair trial, as it in not connected with ai.y great outlay of either labor or expense, and I am certain that it will give satisfaction to all. Tomato Culture. The chief requisites, says Joseph Harris, in growing good tomatoeB are : First, good seed of a good variety; j second, good stocky plants, and third, | ?OJil warm, dry soil and good cultiva- ! tiou. The beet crop of tomatoes I ever j raised was treated in the following | manner: Seed sown in hotbed iu I March, in rows three inches apart and four or five seeds to the inch. When two inches high the plants were removed to another hotbed and set out in rows fire inches apart and the plants throe inches apart in the rows. As soon as the plants began to crowd each other tbey were transplanted into pots and placed in the hotbed, the pofs being plunged into the soil level with the surface. This last point should not be oveilooked. It gives the roots of the plants the needed "bottom heat," and tlie heat is much more uniform than if the pots are simply placed on the top of the soil in the hotbed. The j plants were allowed }>Ientv of air and! soon were hardened otf. The last week in May the plants weio set out in the open ground, in rows three and a half feet apart each way. The land was mellow and moderately rich. We made good sized holes with a spade wherer the plants were to be Bet out, and then with a rake or hoe filled these holes with fine warm surface soil and put a tablespoonful of superphosphate in each hole, and worked it thoroughly into the soil with a hoe. Oive the plants a thorough watering before removiDg them from the pots. Set the plants deep, or say till the first leaves are on a level with the surface. Tress the loose, mellow soil firmly around the ball of earth and roots. Keep the ground very loose and mellow on the surface by the constant use of the cultivator and hoe. If you have no hotbed start the plants in a box of light soil in" the kitchen window. "When the plants begin to crowd each other in the box transplant into other boxes, and when they are well grown harden them off by leaving the boxes out of door* during the day in fine weather. Good plants may be raised by sowing the seed out of doors early in the spring. Select a sheltered spot with a southern exposure; work into the soil some dry, sifted coal ashes. Sow the seed in drills, fif teen iuchcs apart. For raising jonng o;mato plants in this way the soil cannot be too rich. But the land whero the crcp is to be grown need only be in good average condition, except that it should be made very fine and mellow. Knrm and Garden Note*. Rubbing wet horses and other animals dry is very useful not only to eave ieat, but also to save cold taking. Fat hens rarely lay. If hens are fed so much or so often that they begin to Faten rapidly, they will soon etop [ivinr. % K rarpnip8 and Falsify are not injured by fmziug, and may remain in the ground and be dng as wanted, or during a midwinter thaw. English feeders often add ton pounds of linnet d oil cuke per duy to the usual rations of meal, roots and hay, in finishing off well grown bnllocks. It is f-aid that an acre of grass will make 200 pounds of beef; while an acre of corn that requires continuous labor, ?t double the cost, will do but little more. Sheltering all animals from cold iveatler, from chilling winds which by ;Leir rapid motion carry off heat more rapidly, is the way to 6ave food and to iave waste of fiesli. in seeKiug lor n sunstance which , vould destroy the microscopic animals n waterwithout injuring it for drinking jurfcsea, I)r. LangfeMt found that jitric acid (one-half gramme to every iter of the water) lulled all the living >rgarjisms, except cyclcps and those rith thick epidermis, within two , ninutes. , The Cultivator ami Cmm try Gentlennn says: It is important to f-ow >arley as early in the spring as the 1 ;ronrd can be Tclnced to good mellow condition. On snch eoilB : x will admit fall plowing without heir becoming compacted again by the genoy of rains and melting snows ome advantage in derived from the pera'ion, but it T.ill be found best i nore commonly to depend on thorough mderdraining on soils that have not latural drainage, and early spring jlowiog. The time at which tho seed nay be sown will of course vary with toil and latitudes. Ucclpct.

Baiting- With Jlinnows. For a long time Mr. FurneBs studied upon some plan to crush the milkman and make him acknowledge tlie fraud he had been practicing for months, and at last an idea struck him. He hunted up "hie son's fiblipole and started for the lake, and after some three hours of patient fishiDg on the government breakwater returned home with half a dozen perch, that would average about four inchea in length, and placed them in the aquarium. Then he told the hired girl to be sure and call him early enough in the morning so that be could go out and get the milk when the milkman came along. He said ho wanted to see the milkman particularly, on business, and she said she would be sure and call him, and she did. About 7 o'clock there j was a rush of wheels, tho jangle of a | bell and the milkman was at the door. Mr. Farness seized the pitcher and then rushfed tj the aquarium. Only three of the fish were alive, the others >? /1,'a/I /Ini-innr Hin niorlif MV | Ui?ViU? UlCVi Furness seized tbe live ones, thru6t them into tie pitcher and rushed out. By holding the pitcher pretty highnp tbe milkman was prevented from seeing what was in it, an 1 he poured in the milk, all unconscious of tho trap that was laid. Mr. Farnets then handed over the milk ticket and said it beat all what weather wo were having. Tbe milkman said he never paw such weather sinco tho fall of '47, when there was a period of seven weeks that the 6un never shone. " For goodness sake, my friend,' said Mr. Furness, " what on earth is in this milK?" " I don't know, I'm sure," said the milkman; "let's see." And he bent over and looked into the pitcher. " Why, it's something alive!" ex-1 claimed Mr. Furness. < "Here," said the milkman, "let's pour it out." And he took the top off a milk can and held it while Mr Fnrnefs poured out the contents of tbe pitcher. " Fish, by the Lord Harry 1" said the astonished milkman. ' Well, I should say fish I" ejaculated Mr. Farness, indignantly, and looking at the milkman in a searching manner. " What does" it mean ?'' " I'm blessed if I know," said the poor milkman, holplossly. " Well, I'm sure I don't," 6uid Mr. Farness. There was a long pause, and then Mr. Furnees said: " I want you to tell me candidly, dow, just Low much water you put in your milk, and whether you put in anything else besides water." "Well, you see, sometimes I am a little short. When 1 have milk enough to go around to all my customers I don't put. in any water; bnt when I have sale for?well say?a hundred quarts, and only have ninety or ninetylive quarts of milk?woli, I can't afford to lote my customers, you know." "Are you short very often?" Mr. Furness asked. "Well, no-not very often," and the man blushed and no cd uneasily on the feat. "I see the subject is becoming painful," said Mr. Furness, stiffly, "and I will not pursue it further. But don't you think tbat herealter you can furnish me with a little pu:er article of milk, and we will let by-gonea be bygo fb." 1V!_L T II " xes, sir; iuiue. x cuu.

The first valuable power in a reasonable mind, one would say, was the power of plain statement, or the power to receive things as they befall, and to transfer the picture of them to another mind unaltered. 'Tis a good rule of rhetoric which Schlegel gives: "In good pro6e every word is underscored;" which, I suppose, means never italicise. Spartans, stoics, heroes, saints and gods use a short and positive epeech. They are never off their centers. As soon as they swell and paint and find truth not enough for them, softening of the brain has already begun. It seems as if inflation were a disease incident to too much use of words, and the remedy lay in recourse to things. I am daily s^rnck with the forcible understatement of people who havo no literary habit. The low (xpression is strong and agrc?ahi/>. The citizen ; dwells in delusions, liis dress and j draperies, house and Btables, occupy J him.

YTritUr-tnf vof>^i/?Hrkn or nr?Kmnfir* I glories, and he sees whether you fee j straight also or whether your head is addled by this mixture of wines. i The common people diminish: "a , cold snap;" "itr.iin8ea.-y;" "good haying weather." When a farmer means to tell you that he is doing well with : , his farm, ho says: "I don't work as', bard as I did, and don't mean to." |. When he wishes to condemn any treat- j j ment of soils or of stock, he says, " It j ( won't do any good.'' Under the Cat- , skill mountains the boy in the steam- < boat said: 'Come up here, Tony; it ( lookaprett/ out-of-doors."? R W. Em- ( e'son, in (he Century. Baltimore's Beautiful Women. Baltimore has a high reputation for . the beauty of her women. " We live ; on the /. n? of beauty," says the Ani'ri- j " !n,?1 wlmffver is bonutiful in the diverse races of men renches its ultimate perfection in this lat'tude. In fact, ugliness can't; stand this climate, j It has not to die out or emigrate. It is ! true that there are some strongly markod families who hold out wonder- ' fully against tho beautifying influences ; of the climato and nurtnre, but these are exceptional.*' The writer confesses, however, that the basis of Baltimoro ' beauty is imported, for he adds: "It is j easy to find in this city the finest c-x j amples of tine Celtic Irish beauty, the ^ fairest blondo Saxons and Norse types, the Norman-French type, and the J tal- 1 ian and Spanish brunettes. Some of the most beantiful examples of the ' Hebrew typo that the world can show , are found in this city." Rev.

After we'd bad a drink, as we both needed a 6have, we started for the barber shop. He got in ahead of me and got my regular barber's chair, fo I took a pap<r and waited. Then I took my time and went to chatting with Henry?that was his name, Henry Jnmpertz?just as I always do to the old boys that shave me at the different places." "My quiot friend, who had given the name of Brown, courteously waited for me until I was through, and I says to him: " Say, Brown, Henry gives a man a mighty good shave, don't he ?' ' Yes.' he replied, ' he's a splendid workman, ho keeps sharp razors I' "Of course I didn't pay any attention to encli a remark as that at the time. When we got out into the t ffice Mr. Brown thanked me for the pleasure he had had in my company ; and, just as he was about leaving me, said : 'Mr. Florence, to be frank with you, I am a deteotive. I have been looking for a murderer; I have got him. Good day, Mr. Florence.' "I had some engagements further west and after I had played tbem 1 came back, went to theMatteson house, as usual, started in to get shaved, looked around for Henry, oouldn't find him, shouted to the 'boss' and asked him where he was. 'Why, didn't von know about Jumpertz? Well, well, well I Why Jumpertz was arrested for murder fifteen minutes after he shaved nnn fVm i?ot. mnmiTiff von were in here. JXJIA ? * ------- -and the man who had his shave ahead of you was the officer who arretted him.' " Of course I was perfectly paralyzed, but found, on inquiry; that Jumpertz had been arrested for the murder of his mistress. Ho was charged with murdering her, cutting her in pieces, packing her in a barrel and shipping her East. I never heard what become ofjampertz, but the whole business kept running in my head ever since, and I never get into a barbei chair without I wonder if the man that's shaving me isn't another murderer I" "Yes," said Florence, reflectively, as he resigned his seat to your correspondent, " I really am going to write a barber story aud have it published in Scribncr's." Of course all this was very interesting, but your correspondent thought it would be a good idea to verify it, as actors are rather inclined to fiction. So I stepped over to Pinkerton's deftctive agenoy, ?;nd ascertained that Florence had told the exact truth in the matter. The facts are: Henry Jumpertz lived with a woman named Sophie Werner. Tiring of her, as it was conclusively ro ven, ho murdered her here in 1859, cut her body in pieces and shipped the remains to Troy, N. Y. This was under the police aamjniBtration 01 onpFnntendent C. P. Bradley. He was arrested precisely as stated' by R^r. Florence, who will undoubtedly be glad to get tbo additional facts in order to complete his story, tried and convicted twice, but on the third trial was acquitted. This case came about through the friendship Jumpertz had 1 formed for another murderer then confined in the CooU county jail, who took 1 an oath that, were he icquitted, he would spend half his fortune?he was a man of wealtl ?in securing Jumpertz's acquittal. Jumportz's plea was that the i woman committed suicide and that fear- < ing that ho would be charged with the < murder, he took this means of disposing ] of the remains and averting for a time, i at least, suspicion Mr. William A. ; Pinkerton, from whom I received the , facts iu the matter, informed me that j he last saw Jumpertz during the war, in Vicksburg, in 1862, where he wag then sergeant in a regiment belonging to ( the regular army. j Lemon Juice as a Smallpox Remedy Last April Dr. James Moore, of Ironton, Ohio, published his experience 1 with lemons as a remedy for smallpox. It is as follows: I I was taken sick April 14 with what j I supposed was a severe cold, having t had my hair shingled the previous Fri- j day. The 14th I was quite feverish wifii a fievArfl nftin in the head and back. Saturday, 16th, I was no better; Sunday, fever somewhat reduced, I preBumo by the aid of aconite, which had been administered to me by Dra. Morris and Dunn; eruption veiy indi6tinot underneath the skin. Monday morning, 18tb, eruption unmistakably that of smallpox. Tuesday morning eruption very abundant, crop increasing rapidly in size and number. Wednesday morning a very dense crop all over the faoe, forehead, scalp of head, neck, and soles of feet. Upon the aril's, hands, legs and body, they were pretty evenly distributed,,.but not so closely packed as upon the above mentioned parts. By evening I was suffering intensely from those on the soalp. By 10:30 o'clook the pain was almost intolerable. My nurse had retired and was sound asleep in bed. My feet were so tender that I dare not let them touch the foot-board ol the bod. Mv head I could not Buffer lo lie on the pillar. 1 lay, riuseu uu iuj ciu?n, neck resting upon my band. I had by < ibis time become so nervous I dare not. < shut my eyes from fear cf 6oeing un- t pleasant visions. Pul t> about ninety, c I bad upon the table at my bedBide a paper of lemons, al60 one of orangep. c These wero all the agents within my t reach. I recollected that lemon juice in suf- { Scient quantity was a sedative and t would lower the heart's action, and by t ?o doing might relievo mo of those un- . pleasant visions. I therefore squeezed ill the juice I possibly could out o one of the lemons into the glass, to which I added about two tablespoonfuls of water and drank it. I then opened the rind and-sucked the balance of the juice. Ir ?*bout twenty minutes I H took another lemon and U6ed it in the r same manner. In a Bhort time I felt h very cold, as if 1 were lying in close a proximity to a large mass of snow or ^ ice. My pulse had dropped to sixty. I p shut mv evi-s to see if the unpleasant a visions were gone. I not only found \ that they were gone, bnt by placing my j v hand upon my head I found the pox j q bad gone also. I laid down and slept j two hours comfortably. I awoke, I i 0 presumed, from cold, although I had I f plenty of cover over me and the tire j j, was still burning in the grate. I felt i f so well pleased that I took a little more j j lemon juice. I kept my pulse at from J sixtv to sixty-seven for thirty-six | ? lioure, when all eruption and elevations J '' had disappeared /row ray skin. I then > bid good-by to lemon j'lice and small- i J pox. So strongly I am convinced of tbe a power of lemon jnico to abort uny and " 2very case of smallpox, if adminissteied 0 is I administered it mvsoif, that I look '' upon it as a ppccifio of as muck certainty and power in smallpox as qninine D is id intermittent fever. I therefore publish my experiments, hoping that every a physician having a case of smallpox trill give it a fair trial and report tbe ? rosult to me.

The rules were suspended, and the bill passed amii applause.

Chilblains. Chilblains are always susceptible of relief, and generally of enre. The treatment consists of putting them in water, morning and evening. Perhaps while the suffering is greatest it maybe much more frequently done, say once in two or three hours. The feet are always to be gently and thoroughly rubbed while in the water. The temperature of the water is always to be determined by the feeling in the feet. If cold, the water should be cold; when they burn, Ihe water should be hot. But the great secret of care is to be found in wearing soft woolen stockings whioh are changed for fresh ones every day, and wearing shoes with soles so broad that not the slightest pressure is made upon the affected parts. Arctic overshoefi should be worn when the temperatiro is low, so that the feet shall never become cold. This treatment will never fail to relieve at once, and is certain finally to effect a complete cure. Rather Enthusiastic. The Wilmington (Del ) Daily R publi- > can lately contained the following item of popular interest: Dr. J. F. Speck, who is connected with the Wilmington Every Evening, speaks rather enthusiastically of St. Jacobs Oil. Dr. Speck states that he uses the oil in his family as a household remedy, a sort of universal panacea for all aches and pains, and has always found it to actmoitt happily. His attention was ca led to it by the many testimonials in its favor, and he one day used it upon himself Jor j sore throat. Two applications were sufficient to effect a cure. He also used it ou j his little girl for sore throat with gratifying i success The same child had scarlet fever ' this winter which left the tendons or one 1 leg much contracted. The little prattler couldn't walk without assistance and Mil- 1 fered much inconvenience and pain. Several applications of St Jacobs Oil restored her limb to its normal condition, and she has not experienced any trouble since. Dr. 1 Speck states that he has also seen the Oil i act charminsly in toothache. He thinks ' St. Jacobs Oil is a sterling remedy, and ' does not hesitate to recommend it for rlieu- 1 matism, etc. Pensions. 11 The United States commissioner of j pensions lias rendered a decision that wlien a soicner was sonna ai tue ume of bis capture, and when released is found to be suffering frcm disease incident to prison life, he is presumed to have contracted tbo disease in line of duty, and is therefore entitled to a pension. Also, when a man was captured in the lino of duty, and there is evidence that he has never been heard from nor exchanged, he will be presumed to be dead, nnd a pension will be granted 1o his widow. The Nebraska City (Neb ) Press says: ! St. Jacobs Oil strikes heavy blows for good j all around, and its virtues for rheumatic I pains are lauded upon every hand. Try it, i all ye who suffer. Bnlwer says: We live in an age of ! overmental culture. Wo neglect too | much fimple, healthy outer life, in I which there ia so much positive joy. In ! ! turning to the world within us we grow blind to the beautiful world without, i HEATY FLOODS. 3reat Damngc Done In the Sooth and Wrat by R;iIdi Waters. The following one-day's dispatches from various points in the Souih and Wost will conrey a vivid idea of the widespread destruction oansed by the recent heavy rains and floods: From Sr. Louis: The river has risen over fivo feet since last evening and is now 211/. feet hi(?h, & total rise since Sunday of about 17 feet. The only train from Chicago this morning arrived over the Vandalia road, and the only eastern train camo in by the same line. Tho incoming trains on all the other roads were cither abandoned or have been indefinitely delayed. At St. Charles, on tho Missouri Pacific, there are several landslides within fifty miles of the city, and considerable of tho track is overflowed. The rise in tho river hore is said to bo unprecedented. No such amount of water was ever known to come down so suddenly. Tho rainfall amounted to within 17-100 of an inch of as much as the averago fall fur the entire winter for the past eleven years. The telegraph linos weBt of here aro still prostrated. From Lawrenceburg, Ind.: This city is entirely surrounded by water. All communication with neighboring towns and cities is cut off, exeppt by way of water. The Ohio and Mi?A!?Hinni railroad track has been washed out for neatly a quarter of a milo between Lore and the Miami river. Several Jmndred people, driven from their homes, have flocked to the court-houee for shelter. From Cincinnati: Tho Ohio river is now higher than it has been sinco the great flood of 1874. At 11:30 o'clock this morning it was filty-cight feet six inches, and rising half an inch an hour. High winds prevailed this morning, and colder weather, with light snow. This will check tbo rise, though not immediately. The track of tho Cincinnati and Baltimore road has been abandoned, owing to injury to tho Gest street bridge. All freigta* business is practically suspended. The wind this morning blew down many of tho telegraph lines. All of tho coal yards are submerged, and are obliged to BUBpond business. From Marietta, Ohio: The river is rising rapidly. The lower part of the town is flooded, and it is feared the principal business streets will be under water before many hours. From Chicago: Dispatches from Rock Island eay that a part of the great government bridge thcro, a solid stone and iron structure, was blown down last night Advicee from Yandalia say the Okaw river has overflowed it? uanKs, ana mo ixnvum iuuub, ujui^uDiii)j ?>u area of eome three or four square miles, is one vast aheet of water. A largo amount of livS stock and immense quantities of lumber havi been swept away. At Carlinville, 111., it hat rained for forty-eight hour?. All the trains have been abandoned. Bridges and houses have been swept away, and great damage has been done to farms. From Louisville, Ky.: The Ohio river at thii point is higher than it has been since 1817. It resembles a great lake here now, the entire territory covering the falls being submerged, making a throe-mile width of water. The wind has been blowing a terrific gale all day, and navigation is entirely suspended. The flood has submerged all the^ upper and lower part of Louisville on the rfver front. All the large manufacturing establishments and the distilleries have been compelled to stop work. In the direct front of tho city from Seoond to Tenth street the water has reached the second stories of the business and dwelling hous?s. Hundredi of families have been forced to abandon their bouses and in manv cases leave their furniture behind. A dozen frame houses are being tossed around on tho water to-night by the wind. Skiffs and small fiatboats have been all day removing families to places of safety. Several brick houses have caved in, and on Fourth street, 100 foet from Main, this evening one of them injured sevoral persons in its fall. Tho river is now on a stand, and it is hoped it will be falling by morning. The reports from below are distressing. All of the bottom lands are submerged, milo? of fencing and hundreds of houses have floated away, and crops are mined. Diepatchca say that all that part of PriMnnrlnn nnd nth or counties in Arkansas lying on the river is covercU with water and tnat its cotton crop is destroyed. In New Albany tho water has reached the business pait of the town. Depaam's glass works has shut down, and tho water will do it great damage. The extensive ship yards at Jeffereonville are also submerged, and to-night all trains arc from threo to twenty houra' late. From Jackson, Miss.: At a meeting of the senators and representatives from the river district held this evening in tho office of Governor Lowrv active measures were taken for tho relief of the sufferers from the flood. The legislature will bo requested to make appropriations. The governor was requested to solicit the aid of the chambers of commerce of Now Orleans, Memphis and St. Louis in relieving the sufferers, and to call for government aid through tho Senators and Representatives in Congress. From Memphis, Tenn.: At many points between Memphis and Vicksburg the river is twelvo radios higher than was ever known bofore*. This is accounted for by tho fact that the Mississippi rivtr has overflowed itfl banks abovo Osceola, Ark., ninety miles up the rivtr, and a large volumo of water pours through that country into the headqnartoivDf St. Francis river, and again finds its way ba?k into the main stream fifteen miles above Helena, Ark., where tho 8t Francis river empties into tho Mississippi Every plantation between Memphis and Friar's Point, Miss., is submerged, and the water extends back from eittior shore fifieen miles.

To (he Readers of Ihe Brooklyn Eagle: The facts contained in the following article aro related by C. M. Farmer, Esq., 1G9 Third avenne, New York, who will impart the full particulars of the case, and the name of the party, to any one seeking the same. Deference to the wishes of the gentleman bonefitod in-! duces us to withhold his name anc^, advise tho ' sourco of information as above. In a neat frame cottage on a high elevation overlooking the East river and the islands in tho stroam below Hell Gate, dwell Mr. and his wife. Three yoara ago the. husband was prostrated by rhoumatic gout, whioh, in the courso of a few weeks, invaded every vulnerable part of his body. His feet and hands became not only useless but most unsightly members, bis fingers becoming so swollen, distorted and twistod that they looked liko the tanglod claws of a crab. Being the owner of his home, and having some monoy laid by from his former salary, oarned while bookkeeper for a prominent commercial house, he sought relief from pain and utter holplessness from the best sources, and paid doarly for it. He obtained temporary reliol irom nia pains, Dm no memcal skill availed in straightening oat Lis distorted limbs or ep*Wing him to rosume his former avocation. Thas he lay bedridden &a *li3 tedious months went by; meanwhile his stock of money was being rapidly exhausted, uutil only a small sum remained at his command. Among his kind and sympathetic neighbors, a few months ago, was one who came with a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil in his packet and urgently insisted that it should be tested. But such was Mr. 's obitinate objection to everything bearing the name or suspicion of a proprietary medicine that he positively refused its use, and for a week afterward he lay groaning in his bed whilo St. Jacob's Oil stood nntouched on the wife's dressing table. One night hia sufferings were unusually severe, and after a long entreaty Mrs. was allowed to anoint her wretched husband thoroughly with the Oil. Whon he awoke in tho morning from the first easy and peaceful tleep he had enjoyed for many months, he Baw before him a ne w lease of life. .Bepeated applications of this wonderful remedy, night after night, for two weeks, restored the man to his n <rmal condition of health, strength and activity, and to-day he is occupying a position of no little labor and responsibility, and at a fino salary.in a prominent business boase in the lower part of the city. Learning these facts from his wife when I called at the pleasant cottage home above mentioned, tbo writer made an appointment to meet him the next day. " I am happy to learn," I said to him, " that yon have recovered your health after a long and painful illness. Mrs. informed me thai you Qwe your present happy condition to a proprietary medicine." " Yes," he answered, cheerfully. "I call it a miraculous medicine. The world owes a debt of gratitude to the diaooverer of St. Jacobs Oil, which, with all its wealth, it will never pay, because it will never fully appreciate the grfeat virtues of this remarkable remedy. Look at me. Do I look like & man who for three yeare has been an invalid and a cripple ?" " Yon look like the picture of health," I replied, "and while I congratulate yon, I moat request .that yon allow me, as a pross reporter, to make your case known to the public for the benefit of those nho have suffered like yourself." "Excuse me, sir," he returned, "but I would rather not." " Why, what objection can you have ?" I asked somewhat puzzled. "Well, you see," he said, " 1 am peculiarly situated, and, while I have a sympathy for all who suffer, I would, for certain reasons, be jeopardizing my own interests by allowing my name to be published in this connection." "Very well," I said. "Your wishes shall be observed. But don't you think you are a little selfish in this matter 1" '! Perhaps I am," ho answered, " but St. Jacobs Oil has so many other testimonials from prominent men in its favor, that mine would be of little consequence." Although the writer regretted this refusal to allow another name to bo added to the long list nf t/wHmnnials to the efficacv at the Great Opr. man Remedy, it was felt that perhapa the gentleman's reason for each refusal might oatweigh in lile's scale of economy what looks on . its face as a queer caeo of selfishness.?

Stevens, Esq.: Dear Sir?About two years ago a cancer made its appearance on my face, left side of my nose. When I li r?t noticed it, 'twas about tho size of a pin-bead (very small). It increased in size, and spread on mv face until it bocaniu as large as a common cent. I tried all kinds of remedies. and advice from a Physician. It was spreading and eating into my flesh very fast. I was very much alarmed. I went to see a physician who cured cancer*; he did not Rive me much encouragement. It pained me very much; I suffered night and day. It would bleed at times very profusely. Everything was done that could be to try to cure the caucer. My brother had a canccr on his lip; he submitted to an operation, being well discouraged.- I was one day in Mr. Woodberry's apothecary store, of this town. He cave me your pamphlet, containing many cures by the use of Vegetine. I found on page 19 where Vegetine had enred a concur 011 a lady'a nose. I then bonfjlit a bottle ot i vour Vegetine, and it proved a great blcMintf to me; I could see good efleets from it right away. After taking three bottles it stopped tho spreading of the cancer about tho edges; it checked tho eating into I my flesh. I could seo it was gradually healing. I I kept on taking Vegetine. the canccr slowly disappearing, until I had taken sixteen bottles aud it completely enred it. It has left a large scar on one side of my nose; and I feel it my duty to recommend Vegetine to all like sufferers, as it is certainly a great "Blood Purifier." I am now sixty-three years of age, and Vegetiuc has greatly improved my general health. lours moat respectfully, WM. *>. CLEAVES, 34 Federal St., Beverly, Mass.
