\ ~~ SPRING FRESHETS. Great Damage Caused by Floods North and South'. Villages Submerged and People Driven from their Homes. Freshets in m my parts of the country have done groat damage. Many houses on the Tennessee river were abandoned, anl the water ran through the dx>rs and windows. The daniaga in the lower part of Lynchburg, Va., was heavy. One-third of the Richmond and Alleghany railroad from Lynchburg to Buchanan, forty miles 'A'a? submerged, and all the trestling was washed away. The village of Northp ?rt, Va., was almost, sub merged, aud thj iron bridge was under watt r at both ends. In West Virginia the Kanawha and Elk rivers rose rapidly. On 2-half of Charleston, W. Va., was under water, and many dwellings occupied by poor peopb were submerged. The Western Union wires were under water from that town lo Point Pleasant, sixty miles. Floods near Pownal, Vt., raised the Hoosac river to su.h af height that the Troy & Boston railroad track was covcred with five or six feet of water and debris. No trains could get through, and the company's telegraph wires were all down. Laud slides along the e.ist bank of the Hudson retarded travel betwceu Troy and Albany. A freshet along the Midland division of the Grand Trunk railway, Canada, stopped all trains, and travel was not resumed for s-ftvw-al davs. It was suowing hard there. In Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin there was j a heavy fall of snow lasting forty-eight hours. " The snowfall ranges from four to fifteen inches. I A heavy rain and melting snow back in the mountains, raised the rivers in Vermont 6o that great damage wa; done. Main street, in Berlin, across the river from Montpelier, was filled many feet hi^h with ice for nearly one mile. The W inouski 1 ranch was higher than at any time since I SO.'. A house on the bank of the river, occupied by William Lindsey, was swept from the foundations by ice. Tbe family was asleep when the shock came, but all escaped sateiy. a railway nnuge uu the Northeastern road at East Ricliford was carried away. At Lancaster, N. H., the ice from Israel's river formed in a big jam just below Mechanic street bridge and cause:! the river to ba partially turned from it* course, so that about one-half the stream ran down Mechanic street, carrying lingo cakes of ice along in its course. Nearly all the houses in that section of the village were flooded. The sash and blind works of Nicholas Wilson were carried away and are a total loss. The Stewart house, a small hotel, was flooded, but the gu.-ts and occupants were rescued from the second story by means of ladders and boats. William E. Robertson, with six French labond's, stated from Bradsboro, Vt., for Sears. " burg, where they wore all going log-rolling. When crossing Keith bridge, about a mile from auv house,t ho bridge gave way and the men and_horses were precipitated into the river. Toe waiter ?:?s very uign and omy two escaped. RolxTtsou and three Frenchmen were drowned. The greatest disaster l>v the floods in Ala^bama was along ?h? Alabama and Coosa rivers, iu Coosa, Klinore, Montgomery, Autauga and Dallas counties. "VVetumptka, the county seat of Elmore county, and the coiiutry around it were i:i a deplorable plight. Water was four leet deep in business houses of the town, ami o<xupuuts were driven out ot many 01 i ie residences. j\ wu vict farm was flooded and all hands had to I take to the rafts and theu floated for mil*s on these Ijelbre they could laud safely. One i farmer was drowned while crossing a stream, i There is not a bridge left in Elinore county, J and only one mill. Untold damage has b3en done further down the river. Selma wa> cut oft' from Ih > outer world by destruction of rail load bridges and tracks, and a vast area of farming country tributary to it was under water. Th* Coosa river at Gadsden was the highest ever kuown. Railroad fcrafticaml mail service were paralyzed nearly all over the .State. The James river at Riehntoud, Va.,ro;e steadily, and nearly all that part of the city known as Rocketts, occupied mainly by poor families, was submerge I to a depth of from fright to ten feet. Numerous families were driven <Yoni their homes and had to seek Shelter elsewhere. THE NATIONAL GAME. Thk baseball season of 18S6 is upon us. Four leagues have teen formed in Canada. The National league championship pennant will be a very handsome affair. Goldsmith, the once famous pitcher of the fhif'flcrnflc will r.if/?K nA nmro Ua tronfc or* umpire position. The Columbus (Ga.) club of the Gulf league is looked upon as the coming champion of that organization. The champion Atlanta*, of the Southern league, twice defeated the Louisville American association nine recently. The cities of the new International league, in matter of size, rank as follows: Buffalo, Toronto, Rochester, .Syracuse, Hamilton, Utica, Oswego and Birmingham. The New York a id Boston teams inaugurate the champioi s'lijj serson at New York on April 211. The New Yorks will bo the same a< hist year with probably one exception. The Southern 1< ague is just entering 011 its second year, but it has gained considerable notoriety in bas-ball circles already. There are some very strong clubs connsctei with the organization. It is the general opinion of experts that j this will tie th j biggest baseball season ever known in this country. Eight or ten leagues associations are busily preparing for the diamond field. In their different organizations there are over one thou:- aud men who receive not less than $100 cash for several months' worK. j THE MARKETS.

While Judge "Walton was at work in ^ his chamber at Portland one day many * years ago drawing an opinion in a knotty case a certain lawyer came in. This 1' lawyer (he is now deceased) was a thin, a tooth-pickish, dudish sort of man, whom the judge did not like very well, and t than whom he had rather seen Daniel 11 Pratt himself walking into his chamber, j "Well.

"erryboat on a small creek, and named lie place "Death's Ford," at the same ;ime inventing a musty legend to the effect that it was thus named because so nany lives had been lost in an attempt to ?ross it. The stream was not more than i dozen yards wide, and the water lowhere more than two feet, deep, but he igged up a flatboat and pulled it b.ick ind forth by a rope contrivance. "Wheniver the prospectors crossed he regaled hem with hoirible tales of the treachery )f the stream, and the remorseless quicksands which had drawn so many men md mules to terrible deaths. In the night when he ferried people >ver he would caution them not to get ;oo near the edge of the bo.it, as a fall )verboard was certain death. By letting he dim old lantern go out, and making ;lowtiine. he frequently impressed the passengers with the idea that the stream vas half a mile wide. For night trip? le charged $5, but if the wind was hi ?h tnd the weather bad he struck sanguine prospectors for much larger sums. In the lay time $1 was his modest charge. He vent along in this way for several nontlis, the men who rushed to the hills ooking upon him as a benefactor to his ace by this conquering of so formidable tn obstacle to travel as ''Death's Ford." One day Charley Stoddard, the pronoter, appeared on the bank with a mule ind boardvd the flatboat to cross. In he middle of the stream, iust when the erryman was telling how dangerous the )lace was, the mule grew restive and ell overboard. One leg caught on a ope, and he got his head under water, md, unable to extricatc himself, was Irowned. When he was cut loose he ay there in the middle of "Death'}) rord;" half out of the water, so that all vho Ciirae along saw what a miserable ham the ferry was, and that any fourooted animal eou!d walk across.

The supremacy of the toy pistol and he rabid dog as agents of destruction is icing seriously threatened by a powerful ival. The rival is the modern hanging [imp. A few months ago the use of hese illuminators became again so genrul as to constitute what might be ailed a hanging lamp renaissance, aud 1 though the fashion is not yet worn out he effect of wear seems to be discernible pon the hangings of some of those I'hich were earliest in use. At any rate he lamps are beginning to fall.

As the season of thunder storms is at hand, a few practical directions for lightning rods may be found useful. Quarter inch naked copper wire, such as is used for street electric lights, will do for the rods. Two of such rods are better than one, each rod to be continuous, or if jointed, the joiats to be soldered. ?A At 3 JttUIl 111C Upper CliU Ui IUU aiuuuu vuv edges of the chimney, and the peaks and edges of the roof; bend so as to leave a looped point at each corner; points to be six inches high. Fasten the rod directly to the exterior of building with staples, no insulators. The bottom of each rod should be wound around the metallic street water pipe (or gas pipe, if there is no water pipe). Better solder the rod to the pipe. By means of branch wires or rods con nect tlie lower cnas 01 tne water icaaers, also one end of each metallic gutter, also all metals and metallic roofing, if anj', with the rod; solder the connections, and run rod to ground and around the water pipe, as before stated. Several separate rods may be used. The more the better, if properly grounded. The essential rule of safety is to have the rods well connccted with the earth. For this reason soldering to the underground water pipe is advised. If no metallic water pipes or gas pipes exist, then dig a very narrow trench four feet deep, cone-shaped bottom, and fill into bottom a contiuuous layer of coal j-.-i. ? j ji-~ ai uusc una my uiu ruu uieicin. nuj muu of coal dust, charcoal, hard or soft coal will do. The trench with coal dust layer and rod therein should be, say 100 feet long. Coal is an electrical conductor. The object of placing the lower end of the rod therein and extending the rod so far is to secure good ground conduction and connection for the rod. The great majority ot rods now erected a- e deficient in their ground connections, and consequently are practically useless. This is the reason we hear of so manv instances of damage, even when buildings have rods. In general, the rod is simply stuck down two or three fe?t deep into dry earth, which is about the same as if the lower end of the rod were inclosed in a bottle; such rods are fatally defective. Now is the time to look to your rods. Correct the main defect by making a first-rate ground connection, as above described, or take down your rod. The only chance for safety is with a good ground connection. The risk of damage is less without a rod than with-one badly connectcd to the earth.?Scientific American. Money Lenders and the Babylonians The greater part cf the so-called Egibi tablets are agreements for loans in which the borrower biuds himself to return the amount together with the interest prescribed in the contract. Some of these contracts are really statements recording a loan, which were drawn up when the payment became due, in order to levy execution ou the borrower. vvnen a Babylonian wanted to begin business he often borrowed upon his own property, so as to get the necessary capital. Several tablets record the agreements of two parties mortgaging their houses with the (stated) intention of creating a capital and of starting business. The system of taxation in Babylonia also made money lenders indispeusible, especially to agriculturists, who had to pay their | taxes before harvest, a!id were therefore obliged to borrow on their future crops. Interest was generally, though not always, Eaid by the month, and capital was paid ack by installments; the interest was about one-sixtieth per month, or twenty per cent, per annum. But what increased the profit of the money lender was tne system, wmcn is .mil in use in Asia Minor, of paying taxes in kind. The agriculturist had to buy grain when the price was high, and when the harvest came to realize at a low price. Ifence a money lender was often also a corn and grain lender; many contracts record loans of corn and money,and the time mentioned for repayment is generally harvest time. ? Contemporary Itevieio. Y.A/incf Turaalniia JUWUCV au | Htjavaiu* The records of locust-plagues in the warm countries of the east, in modern as well as in ancient times, almost surpass belief. Kirby and Spcnce mention an army of locusts which ravaged the Mahratta country, extending in a column five hundred miles long, and so compact that it ob-:cured the sun like an eclipse. Near the close of the last century, so many perished in the sea on part of the African coast that a bank three or four feet high, and about fifty miles long was formed on the shore by their dead bodies, and the stench of them was carried one hundred and fifty miles by the wind. In another part of Africa, early in the Christian era, one plague of locusts is .said to have caused the death of 800,000 persons; and in 591 nearly as bad a plague occurred in Italy. Again, in 1478, more than 30,000 persons perished in the Venetian territories from famine caused by locusts. The dream of the socialist is to live without labor.

Its efficacy has been proved in thousands of cases. All Druggists. No quarters or halves have been coined since 1878. Hints to Consumptives. Consumptives should use food as nourishing as can be had, and in a shape that will best agree with the stomach and taste of the pa tient. Out-door exercise is earnestly recommended. If you are unable to take such exercise on horseback or on foot, that should furnish no excuse for shutting yourself in-doors, but yon should take exercise in a carriage, or in someother way bring: yourself in contact with the open air. Medicines which cause expectoration must be avoided. For five hundred years physicians have tried to cure Consumption by u ing them, and have failed. Where there is great derangement of the secretions, with engorgement of air-cells, there is always profuse expectoration. Now Piso's Cure removes the engorgement and the derangement of the secretions, and consequently (and in this way only) diminishes the amount of matter expectorated. This medicine does not dry up a cough, but removes the cause of it. When it is impossible from debility or other causes to exercise freely in the open air, apartments occupied by the patient should be so ventilated as to ensure the constant acccssion of fresh air in abundance. The surface of the body should be sponged "" with wflfor U3 W11C1I CVD C? VI J l"?i v*. iJ..; ff.w. .. and a little soft-soap. (This is preferable to any other.) After thoroughly drying, use friction with the hand moistened with oil, Cod-Liver or Olive is the best. This keeps the poics of the skin in a soft, pliable condition, which contributes mate: ially to the unloading of waste matter from the system through this organ.

Fast Train Time. "Talking about fast running," said an old railroader, "reminds me of a little story of A. J. Cassatt. By the way, Cassatt is one of the greatest railroad men this country ever produced, and I predict that when George Roberts dies I lie will be called to the management of the Pennsylvania. Well, Cassatt was on the lit e between New York and Philadclohia on:, day a few years ago, and at j Jersey City got up into the locomotive with which Jim Sanford -was starting for | Philadelphia with Xo. 13, the flying train, which then, as now, made the ninety-mile run in 112 minutes. When he got along down by Menlo Park Jim thought he would have some fun with Cassatt, and so he kt her out. When she struck an easy grade two or three miles were coverea at the rate of fortyseven seconds to the mile, which is frightful running?nearly *eventv-seven miles au hour. Jim kept looking over to Cassatt, hoping the vice-president would show some signs of fear. But Cassatt kept looking out of the wind >w of the shaking, plungirg. orrceniiig engine without:i change of color or expression on his face. Finally he turned to Jim and inquired: "Say, is that the best she can do? Can't she go faster than this?" "That was the last time Jim Sanford tried to scare A. J. Cassatt. 'Why,' ; says Jim, when he tells the story, as he pretty often does, 'I was a lcctle scairt myself, not bein' sartin if the machine i would hang together at that frightful pace, and when Cassatt up and wanted i to go faster I give up in despair. Never I saw such a man in my life."?Chicago J Herald. ! , ? Prevent your hair from becoming premature- | ly gray by using Hall's Hair Renewer.
