in which he, signally among his coui<

prowess, and refleted an honor upon the
American name which these narrow
minded bigots can never hope to rival.
The ground upon which the dUtin-
guished gentkimn alluded to was to be
deprived of a pension, was also entirely
characteristic of his assailAuts. It was
only because he proudly refuses to turn
repentant sinner, confess himself an err

to bo a traitor, sue for forgiveness for his
crimes. Doubtless such men as Hoar

After a fearful night of anxiety all ef
forts proved useless. The water broke
through with immense force at three
o’clock, carrying away part of the rail ■
way station embankment and the rolling
stock, and within three hours the town
was many feet deep in water. Terrible
suffering is commencing. Shrieks and
cries from thousands are beard. Houses
are crashing by the score, and in many
cases carrying their inmates with
them. God only knows what we shill
do to-night. There is no gas, the works
being fifteen feet under water. I fear we
shall run short of food. One boat was
just going to save a large house full of
people when a fesrthl crash carried with
it the whole living freight. The scene
is simply heartrending. Over 80,000
people are out of house and home.
Hundreds are drowning and the water is
still rising rapidly.

Csongrad. The population in 1870
was set down at 70,197. It standsjon
a marshy plain on both banks of the
Thtiss River, by which it is divided into
two parts. In the summer of 1849

opinion everything Is subordinate to
money, and U doubtless seems to them
the height of folly that Mr. Davis should
persist in refusing to place bis honor and
self-respect above pecuniary gain. He,
however, has been reared iu a different
school, and sooner than stamp with
shame the cause for which he and
thousands upon thousands of his fellow-
citizens staked their all, and many of
them sacrificed even their lives, he would
yield up untold millions of pensions.
But these super-loyal patriots and real
traitors, who trampled under foot the
United States Constitution and the rights
of the American people when they stele
the Presidency, need not have so worried
their diminutive souls. Mr. Davis,
long siuce, of his own froc will and ac

name be omitted from the Mexican pen

of the bill, and work injury to his brave
co-survivors. And we can tell these

A Mlntake.
Some years ago, as a Mississippi
steamer came to a landing, a tall, un
gainly, gawkish-looking fellow, leaning
against a wood pile, attracted tho atten
tion of the passengers, one of whom, a
talkative and couapiouous person, re
marked to his friends tliat he was going
to have some fun. So he jumped ashore
when the boat landed, and, with a great
show of fierceness, approached the fel
low. Drawing a savage bowie knife, ho
■aid:
“So, old fellow, I’ve found you at last.
You're the man that stole a dog of mine,
and I’ve sworn to get square with you.
I’ve been looking for you for a year.”
The gawky ktily opened his eyes in
wondering amassment at first, as though
lie didn’t understand it. Then catching
sight of the lounging passengers looking
on from the deck he took in the situa
tion. By the time “ Smarty ” had fin
ished telling him how long he had been
looking for him, he had taken out of his
pocket a fist like a sledge hammer on
the end of the arm of a windmill. He
swung it onoo and knocked the man who
had been looking for him plump into the
river. Then, resuming hip place against
the wood pile, he raised his eyes to the
deck, and with a very lazy drawl, ho in
quired :
“ Is there anybody else on this boat
lookiag for me.’*
The joint resolution introduced in the
House by Representative Jorgescn au
thorizing and directing the President to
cause an investigation as to the funds
belonging to the so called Confederate
States iu deposit in the Bank of Eng
land, or iu the hands of private citi-
zeus of Great Britain, in its preamble
recites that it is believed that the so-
called Confederate States, while exor
cising the authority and holding commer
cial relations with the Government of
England, collected large sums of money
from certain citizens of the United
States and deposited the same, or some
part of the same, in the Bank of Eng
land to the credit ot the so-called Con-
federate States, and that a portion of
said sums of money still remain in said
bank. The resolution authorizes the
President to take such action to secure
the same wherever it may be found, to
the end that it may be refunded and
paid to the citizens who served as sol
diers, or colored men who worked on
fortifications or served as teamsters in
the so«called Confederate armies, and
who were disabled in such sewicc and
who are now in indigent circumstances
and a re dependent upon the charity of
the community for a living.

The Consul General of the United
States at London communicates some in
teresting facts relative to tho consump
tion of Indian corn in that citv. It is
v
not used mainly as food for horses. The
London General Omnibus Company I
with its seven thousand horses use no
other grain. It feeds from twelve to six
teen pounds of corn per day to each
horse. It finds the use. mixed with
other food, beneficial and economical.
The London Tramway Company has
adopted a similar course with satisfac

coming to be cousidered the best food.
