Devastation Everywhere. Reports from op and down the river detail a most deplorable state
of affairs. Captain of the Belle of i
Shreveport, arrived at IiouisTiHe on Wednesday from New Orleans, sayg that all tbe small towns down the river are overflowed, and that tbe people are noddling around fires built on the highest points of land to be found. They are without food and shelter, and the coffering must be intense. 8ome of them still remain in the top stories of their houses, but are iti constant fear of being washed away. The boat was two weeks eoiuing up from New Orleans, owing to
the feet that she had to run slow, so as not to create large waves
which would have swept the inundated houses away. The rail roads are badly damaged and trains are running irregularly. Necessarily the mails are all delayed. -m-m-At Louisville on Wednesday the water was two feet deep over the bridge across Beargrass creek at Broadway ,and vehicles found difficulty in crossing. Ballard's mills were surrounded by water, and a strong embankment has been thrown up around the William Tell mill to keep out the water. The Broadway line of street-cars have constructed a temporary turntable at Shelby street and cars are run no further than that point.

An ex-conductor tells a Leadville Chronicle reporter how some porters in the sleeping cars accum
ulate wealth: "A Pullman
enger tumps aboard late at some
intermediate station. He is tired and sleepy. He wants to go to
bed at onee. Usually the berths are made np. 'Why, certainly,
the porter says, 'tumble right in
Just give me your fare, and when the conductor comes along I will turn it over to bim.' The passen
ger is delighted with the courtesy
He pays his Pullman and car fare,

tires for tbe night. Meanwhile
the conductor has got a number of
trip checks, most likely from the hats of Borne fellows who are dozing away in the smoker, and, pres
ently returning, he inserts one un

low places and the town was surrounded by water. The steady rise continued till Thursday morning to encroach upon the people as relentless as late. The water over the State-street pike was two feet deep. The water extended from there down to the Ohio, spreading oat like a vast Jake below Mainstreet bridge. The Corydon pike was flooded six feet deep below the toil-gate. Tbe water at the loot of Main street was so deep
that Kdorf s brewery wagon came near being swept away and one horse narrowly escaped being drowned. The Air line railway was compelled to abandon all trains east of Huntingburg. The passengers who went oat were conveyed in a large fiatboat from Broadway to Hoffman's station, two miles below this city. Lawbknceburg Deserted. A dispatch from Lawrencebnrg says: "Individual cases of suffering this year are lew as compared with 1883, as tbe city is almost forsaken. The streets are amply guarded and patrolled by tbe pofiee. ThogiB8-betisB are filled with firemen, all ready to rash to doty at tne tap of the bell. About four hundred organs and pianos are afloat among the household furniture. Tbe fair ground is totally ruined, and all the fences are down. Sheds and stables and some booses have floated off. The Ohio & Mississippi railroad levee
is washed out for n distance of 100
yards, and u still washing at a fearful rate. The Ohio A Mississippi oflkaalc estimate their loss at 9-100.000, in this one Hem. not

Too MucU Good Credit. Elkhart Review : "One of the great business evils is the habit of over-estimating the financial ability of men. The role holds good that
uot more than one roan in ten is
worth as much by half as tbey are
usually conceded to be. Any witle
awake man who is duiag a comfort
able business, especially it he is disinclined to talk about his affairs, is usually estimated at from eight to fifteen thousand dollars : but when
after death his administrator pays his indebtedness, the estate is usually found to be insolvent. Tins
practice ot over-estimating, (and it is common everywhere,) has many
bad features, prominent among which is the inducements held out for overbuying. A grocer or merchant who has this fictitious valua
tion placed upon his ability to pay,
is often prevailed upon to buy be
yond his needs, or beyond the de
mands of his business, and tbe re
sult is assignment, or a constant
struggle to meet bills. ' Letter from Soothers Cali
fornia. W. J. Allen has kindly permit
ted the Progress to publish the fol-
owing extract from a letter written
to bim by John Kerr, who, with
Robert Gamble, removed to Cali
fornia to September, 1882:
Anaheim, California, Jan. 28, 1894.
Friend Allan . The weather
here is to line that a person can work out
doors almost every day in the year.
have been out on the worst days we have
bad since we came to this country, so you will understand that we have but little
rough weather. It was raining si
most Ml day yesterday, and still raining to-day, so I am staying in the house and
giving it a chance, as we do not have
much rain here. You have more rain in
a halt hour than we do in twelve months.
and we have to rob tbe river of its liquid
treasure, and then we are to some extent
independent of rain. This, however, re
quires a great deal of labor of i.he hardest
kind. It is a great deal like fighting fire one can work himself down before
he is aware nf it. Still then are some men here who are able to irrigate for two
or taree uays ana nignts wilnjut rest or
sleep.
K. Jtt. Gamble and I have some forty
or fifty acres sowed to wheat nd barley
We intend to plant some corn pumpkins
and potatoes. By the way, v i are eating potatoes that we planted last September.
I understand yon have been hiving some
cold weather this winter. While vou
are shivering and freezing, it a as pleas
ant here as May or September in Indiana.
We have sold all of our buy that we
intend to sell, getting from 11 1 to $13 per ton at the stack; sold about 3.i tons; Lad 640 sacks of barley; have ISO yet to sail, bare been selling at $1.12 per sack!
Don't know what it will be worth after
this rain. This is one of the very few
days that the sun has not shown himself,
yet perhaps he will before night.
The principal crops hare are grapes
and fruit of various kinds. Corn, barley and wheat are raised to some extent, but
the grape pays much better when once started. So I think this part of the country will eventually be set to vines and
trees. Grapes last a long time here; it is only fow weeks sinoe they eve out. We have plenty of tomatoes on the vines and more growing. Health is good here.
I consider my own health improved I
have not used Sets worth of medicine since coming here. Mrs. Kerr has not been troubled with sore throat sine com
ing here.
Tours Truly, JOHN E.ERK. Tbe following has been received from R. M. Gamble, and through the courtesy of Mr. Allen, the Pro
gress gives to its readers such por
tions as are of general interest : Anaheim, Cel., Fab. ad, 1884. Friend Allen : -yy, M aaT. ing a rain like those you have in Old
Monroe. Rain has been falling, off and on, for mere than a week, and last niirht
it fell in torrents, and Bay and I decamp
ed, for fear wa would be washed away. A
neighbor was irrigating, adjoining farm
and we spread midnight lunch for two.
At 12:1ft they came to the house to eat sup
per, and' by tbe time the meal was finish
ed, the water was all around and under tbe house ; in fact tbe fields seemed to be
one vast sea of water. Getting- out mv
horse I placed Bay behind, and the ethers with lanterns leading and feeling carefully for the read, we went to Mr. Kerr's on our upper ranehe. It was a nice torchlight procession, ssldom seen at 3 a.m.; tbe water rose until it was at Kerr's door-step, and by that time it was daylight, and we could see the flood in all its grandeur, as it moved majestically to tbe ocean, covering thousands of acres. The ground is now thoroughly wet, and wa feel easy en that point for one more year. Health is good, work plenty, and all feel happy. I see by papers that cold weather has been knocking at your doors, while we are warm, and not too warm. A delightful sua-land is this, and to fully appreciate this climate one must come and stay for year or two.end by that time one will feel its life-giving sepbyrs in such a manner as tbey have never dreamed of. Coal oil has been found four miles from here and should a good flow be obtained it will help us greatly. Oive my regards to Mart, and Jim Alexander, also to Grimes, Strong, and all, but be sure to remember us to Mrs. Allen and family, I will sand you a few mammoth water
melon seeds, and you must plant tasm the
same as any other, and see what you can do. These seeds came out of a melon weighing 79 lbs. Write soon. Bcgards to all. R- M. GAMBLE.
so, notwithstanding. Wa look out I upon hill and mountain, and a flno piino- j raraa is spread before us : The foot-hills look green and velvety, while the mountain tops are covered with snow and seem so near that one could almost reach out and make snowballs, and jet the distance is 65 miles. There is no u.e to go to Europe for scenery, for I verily btdiero we can double discount an j thing there. Tell Jas. F. Blair that it was impossible to get to Anaheim for a few days, on account
of water, and that water ran all around and under my house, and that Porter's farm was all under water, that the flood reached John Kerr's door stop and was
nearly all ovsr our Grape ranches. Hen
ry Kerr was digging a vault, and went six feat and found no dry ground at all, so we are thoroughly wet. Land now is
worth SO per cent, more than it was a
few days since. Well, I am anxious for it to dry up now so I may gat my vines
replanted and cleaned of weeds. W eeds
grow much raster Here tnan anywnere else, and they soon take one. I think this will be a good year for corn, and hope
to have a good crop. Corn is always a good price.
Yours truly, K. M. GAMBLE.

Since the repeal of the inter
nal revenue tax on matches, a
great many have been coming into
the United btates from oweuen.
The manufacture ot matches is an
extensive industry in Sweden.
From the fact oiks in Jonkoping,
in Smaland, Wenersburg and Mar-
icsbad, at the foot of the great Inland lakes Wettern and Wenern,
tbe homes of the civilized world
are lighted up. Already very
rich and powerful, these factories
are growing more so since the United States has become their
greatest customer. At Joukopiug
is the oldest and greatest match
factory in the world. It was es
tablisbed one hundred years ago. j There are shown specimens of the match in use when tbe nineteenth century begun. They are big fagots of wood, with a handle and tip to dip in a sulphur tub. They are tbe giant ancesters of the delicate little slivers nsed for matches today. Millions of the latter are turned out in a day. There was a time when they did not make a million of the big matches in a year. The wood is taken from neighboring forests. They parcel the forests out in fifty sections.
Every year they cut one of these sections and then replant it with young trees. Death of Anna Malott. Vincennes Commercial. Kiss Anna, daughter of Judge Newton F. Malott, of this city, died at har home on Seventh street, at one o'clrck, Saturday afternoon. She was 19 years old on the 27th of last Hovember, and was highly esteemed by all of her large circle ef friends and acquaintances. Bar ailment was a chronic affection of the kidneys and she has been in poor health for about two years, but has been .confiued to her room the past two months. Sbo would have graduated in the University two yaara
ago, but was compelled to quit scnoal a few months before she had completed her course on account of poor health. She was an intelligent and cultivated young lady, cut down by the relentless haad of death in tbe bloom of womabood. The occurrence of her death leaves many bereaved and saddoned hearts among her numerous associates. The grief-sticken family have the deepest sympathy of tbn entire community. She was a member of tbe Presbyterian Church aad the funeral took place at throe o'clock Monday afternoon from the family residence.

The Evils of the Dance. That excellent family religious paper. The Midland, has this to say of "Dancing," in which the Progress fully concurs : "Dancing excites sensuality, and this word is not used in the vicious sense. What is meant is that the animal nature is aroused. A distinguished professor of music affirms that tbe violin acts on tbe senses so as to control the spirit, thereby dethroning the higher nature. Test the assertion, and you will readily perceive its force. After an evening at a ball sit down and carefully investigate your state if such a thing be possible. What are the predominant sensations? Is there a calm of soul such as enables one to contemplate futurity ? Is there not a contusion of merely sensuous feelings? Strive to steady the mind to consider grave questions, and the attempt is like that of a drunken man to walk. The nervous excitement, tbe impressions, render it impossible. What then is the judgment of the mind in its normal condition? It must be tbat the fleshy controls the spiritual. Is this according to scripture ? Is it safe, in the light of facts ? Does the carnal
need cultivation? Cross-examine
the witness as much as you can, the
evidence cannot be broken. It is
the sensual on which tbe dance lays hold."
