There are nine railroads leading Into the city, making freight rates cheaper than for any city Hits sice in the west.

The actual needs of the homeless people in the Ohio valley begin with the falling of the waters. For weeks to come there will be many persons destitute of home comforts. Their houseB may be restored to them, but the*want will be for provisions and clothing. No one should think that the time for rendering aid has gone by for the contrary is true.

Monday morning wagons will be used to collect donations of clothing, bedding, provisions, or whatever you think you can afford to give, and that will be welcomed by the thousands of persons who have been made desti tute and homeless by the floods. In this way many articles can be gathered that would not otherwise reach the people in the Ohio valley who are now Buffering from the unparalleled flood Nearly everyone can in this way do his part in the good work of relieving distress. ______________

The air "of injured innocence affected by Bismarck's organ in discussing tbe proposed retaliatory legislation by congress, is grotesque. The North German Gazette says it is astonished that American statesmen should contemplate such action, and, proceeding upon the basis that this proposed legislation would be the inaugural step in a course of reprisals, says that Germany as an independent government, can only reply to any attempt at intimidation, by counter reprisals. That is exactly what is intended to be done by this country. The truth is that our government would be replying to attempts at intimidation on the part of Germany in excluding American pork.

YOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

St. Mary's of the Woods.

To the Editor of the Express. SIB:—We were agreeably surprised to And In your issue of February 13th, the well written article, "Voice of the People," by "A Protestant Patron." The object of this card Is to express our grateful thanks to the author of this spontaneous aot of benevolence, whoever he be. Owing to the fear caused by the Belleville fire, our patrons who accompanied their daughters after the holidays wisely assured themselves by personal investigation, that they ran no risk in leaving their daughters at. St. Mary's Institute. They all expressed themselves entirely satisfied as to our means of escape. We are deeply grateful to tliis one of the gentlemen who visited St, Mary's for the purpose of satisfying themselves, for his thoughtful kindness In giving expression to his iconvlction, and thus reassuring those among our patrons who have not Inspected the building, as well as the public, as to the safety of the inmates of St. Mary'8 Institute.

Globe-Democrat. The disasters by the Ohio flood already foot up several millions of dollars and a" poem by Will S. Hays.

Boston Herald. The house Is at least a month behind that of last congress In its work to the present time. And yet that body adjourned its first session with the reputation of being a "do-nothing congress, Do the Democrats mean to beat the record by doing still less?

Henri, What Are Your Intentional Atlanta Constitution. We have not heard whether Editor Watterson proposes to pass the Morrison tariff bill over the heads of the senate and the president, or whether he proposes to let it go by (default and appeal to the country for vindication.

The Water Not Well Distributed'. Fort Wayne Gazette. Now comes Mr. DeLesseps and declares his scheme for flooding the Desert of Sahara is about to become an established fact. If the great engineer could only manage to turn the Ohio into that parched prairie, the object would soon be accomplished. It is comforting that at least one portion of the earth wants more water.-:

Commercial Inactivity-

f..

Philadelphia Call. "Well, uncle, how are things to-day?" aflably asked a young man of an old fellow who runs an apple stand on Market street. "Very quiet, sir very quiet- 1 don't remember when things was so quiet as they is now." "Ah, yes," replied the young man briskly, as he paid for his apple, "I see your business is at a stand, still.

Xnoonragement for Mr. Edmunds. New York Journal. According to Mr. George Q. Cannon, the Mormon. leader, Mr. Edmonds -is one of the greatest benefactors of the Latter Day Saints. This light of the tabernacle declares that the Edmunds statute has welded the cburcb" together, Infused new life and spirit into the wavering, recalled the stray sheep to the fold, and, in a word, made everytb'ug lovely In the Mormon paradise. Why, then, denounce the Edmunds law as an outrage, a violation of the canstltution, and all manner of other horrible things? If Mr. Edmunds' has done for Mormonism what Mormonism could not do for itself, why abuse him The Vermont senator should keep his lance In rest against the Mormon host.

A New Use tor Birch Bark. &<•) Scientific Press. The subject of absolutely waterproof clotb has long occupied the attention of scientists. Some years ago an Italian, Signor Muritans, supposed that he had satisfactorily solved the problem of Egyptian cloths being entirely indestructible, and he patented a material of the kind, the only objection to which was the cost. And now M. Peron, a Belgian, comes forward with an invention of a similar nature having ascertained that bands used tc smooth the heads of Egyptian mummies were impregnated with a kind of resin, he has had recourse to a substance from birch bark, and which is now used to perfume Russian leather. When the fine white bark of the birch tree is distilled it yields a red oil, nearly one-fourth of which consists of the special phenol or carbolic acid which gives a well-known odor to Russian leather. It is now found that the residue of green tar of the birch yields neither acid nor alkaloid, and it-forms with alcohol a solution of great fluidity, which, however, when once dried, is unacted upon by alcohol. It is this substance which will unite with the most brilliant colors, and is used by M. Peron for treating textile fabrics.

Happy Mary Anderson.

Olive Logan's London Letter. Walking this Sunday morning past the Brompton oratory I met the beau teous Mary leaving that renowned Romish sanctuary. The fine face of the suddenly famous actress was lighted up by a smile of almost rapturous joy. In good sooth, her lot is an enviable one. Young and courted, rich and in good health, happy in her religion, successful in her art, virtuous and fancy free, this epoch in her life must be one of almost unclouded happiness. She was walking with her brother, the handsome youth who so much resembles her, and Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Gilbert whom she says she really' loves. She was richly dressed in a long, tight-fitting velvet ulster, trimmed with sable, and wore the small bonnet of the period, a black veil, with tiny dots, being tied tightly across her almost classic featuieB.

A Case of Hallucination.

Belgravla. On my mentioning this to Mr. Fur nival the antiquarian and Shakesperian scholar, he told me of a still stranger case of forgetfullness or hallucination or both. "A well-to-do old gentleman," he said, "of his acquaintance, worth at least £70,000, always spoke ef his penury, and of not knowing where to turn for bread from week to week for want of money he was no miser, and not by any means a lunatic, but he labored under this fixed idea," Mr. Eurnival hit upon the following advice: "Let me," he said, "draw a check for £2,000 on your banker you sign it send it up, and see if it is not honored." No sooner said than done. But the old man merely remarked: "Well, I suppose I am not so badly off after all.' But the impression did not last, and he took up his parable of penury again.

Truth Stranger Than Fiction. Engineering. A good joke is often spoiled by dwel ling too long upon preliminaries, and we shall therefore avoid discursiveness. In these days of school boards and science departments, of examinations and certificates, it is hard to realize the following: The electric power and storage company had occasion recently to lend a secondary battery charged and ready for use. For the carriage the railway authorities claims 22s. and 6d. A remonstrance was made to the excess of charge in one direction over that in the other, which was met by the reply: "Oli, but the cells were fully charged going and returned empty, hence the difference in carriage."

On tbe Safe Side,

Texas Sittings. Uncle Mose, of Austin, was seen to hastily emerge from a theater, and was asked his reason for leaving so quickly. "Nuffin much," he replied, 'ceptin' a 'oman on the platform got to talkin' 'bout family 'fairs wid de husband of annuder 'oman, an' I didn't perpose to stay. My ole marster in Vireinny got shot plum to pieces for doin' dat berry foolishness.

Car's

allers trouble whar

dat Bort of foolishness is gwine on, an Ise a judisshus nigger, I is. I don't want to be shot in de leg by mistake, or be brunged up as a witness in de case when it strikes de courts."

White House Customs. President Arthur has managed to distance all his predecessors in one respect—he has squeezed forty-eight per sons into the state dining-room at the White House. Thirty-six has been the limit before, and that number could only be seated by putting four of the third-rate diplomats at the corners of the table. It one should notice all the customs of the White House it would appear that the president of the United States if? always treated according to the notions of George Washington. For example, at a state dinner, even if royalty be present, the president is always served first.

A Unique Post Office.

Probably the smallest and most unique post office in the world is a barrel, which Bwings from the outermost rock of the mountains overhanging the Straits of Magellan, opposite Terra del Fuego. Every passing ship opens it to place letters in it or take them out. Every Bhip undertakes to forward all letters in it that it is possible for it to transmit. .The barrel hangs by its iron chain, beaten and battered by the winds and storms, but no locked or barred office on land is mor* secure.

A Large and Eccentric Family. Augusta (Me.) Journal. Twenty years ago there lived in Bel grade a large family, the father of which was a very eccentric individual There were nineteen children. They lived in a big house, but one room of which was plastered. The head of the familv daily dealt out in stated amounts the food required by the family. The wife was an invalid. Many of the children took pecular eccentric turns. They nearly all had remarkable retentive memories. Several were entirely carried away with reading. One would sit for twentyfour hours at a time, neither eating nor sleeping, perusing history and sacred writings. Although appearing idiotic, he could talk intelligently on almost any subject. Another child was fascinated with literature of the dime-novel character. Three of the boys were drowned at once in a lake in Belgrade, while gunning. One of the daughters, a little puny girl, died, and her father procured a coffin for her of dimensions suitable for a man. One of the girls, now a woman past the prime of life, is in the insane asylum. One evening last week an Augusta lady, who, twenty years ago, was 5 years of age, and lived" a neighbor to the above family, visited the asylum. While moving about among the female patients, she was astonished to hear her name spoken by one of the unfortunate#. "That is you,

said the patient. "I should have known you by

your

father." Thus this

woman, broken in intellect and shattered in health, recognized the lady, whom she had not seen for twenty years, and then only"as a 5-year-old rirl. But two children of this large :amily now remain alive.

The Vandalia shipped two cars of provisions to the flood sufferers yesterday afternoon. Their destination were Jeffersonville a.nd New Albany, and contained seventy-five barrels of flour each, beside large quantities of canned goods, bread, potatoes, etc.

The meeting *of master mechanics which was to have taken place at the 0. & M. shops at Yincennes, yesterday, to examine the mechanism of two new and powerful engines which are about completed, has been postponed on account of high water. The meeting will probably take place next week.

About one hundred and sixty men are employed in the Ohio & Mississippi shops at Vincennes. They are now all working on half time, i. e. half of the number work the fore part of the day and the remainder in _the after part. There was plenty of work for this force before the floods, and it is thought that when the road recovers from its deluge the men will returtn to full time.

Water still continues to impede the movement of all the roads entering Louisville.

R. K. Lord, of Indianapolis, is in the city negotiating with the Vandalia company for the exclusive privilege of navigating a pleasure boat on Lake Maxinkuckee during the coming summer. The boat he intends using is 36 feet long, 9 foot beam and propelled by a ten-horse power engine. The hull is made of iron and made in the very best manner. She was built at a cost of $4,000, by a wealthy Cleveland gentleman, and used as a pleasure yacht on Tifllrft Erie. She will seat about fifty passengers very comfortably. Mr. Lord informed the reporter that if he gets the privilege he will have his boat running by the first of April.

AFTER TWENTY YEARS.'

A Missouri Romance in Real tlfe That Could be Wrought Into an Excellent Domestic Play. St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald. "Lena Ratti!"

The words were uttered in stentorian tones by the deep-chested Isaac Veitch, as train No. 1 on the K. C., St. J. & C. B. road steamed up to the union depot yesterday afternoon."Lena Ratti!"

And as the door of each coach was opened and the words of the depot master rang out above the clanging of the dinner gong and the shouts of the cabmen and hotel runners, the passengers turned in their seats to observe whence the voice came.

Presently a tall, handsome young lady arose from her seat in the rear coach, and glancing slyly at the uniformed official, was seemingly inspired with confidence, and responded: "That is my name, sir."

The official stepped quickly to her side, and after the interchange of few words in an undertone, they left the coach together.

On the platform stood an elderly man, Qggerly scanning each feminine form and face as the passengers emerged from the coaches and hastily entered the waiting'rooms or hotel.

It was the first time in all the years of Depot Master Veitch's experience that he had not been called upon to introduce a lady to her own father whom she had "never seen. He performed the service gracefully, and affected important business elsewhere, as the-two strangers embraced and were each in turn almost smothered with kisses. It is Beldom that an active railroad official, after years of inti mate associations with the traveling public, has time or inclination to share in the sentimentalities of those with whom they come in contact, but this time Mr. Veitch's voice was husky and more than one glistening tear drop coursed down his cheek and fell upon his new gray uniform.

Twenty years ago Joseph Ratti of Gentry county, Mo., was married to Miss Tickermer. Both families were in good circumstances and the young ieople Were highly esteemed. But the ride's mother had objected to the match, which was the outgrowth of a long courtship, and while reluctantly consenting at last to the marriage, it was apparent that sbe never cherished for thl young man that tender affection which has made the mother-in-law an object of special interest and admiration throughout the world.

Soon after the marriage Mrs. Tickremer expressed a desire that the entire family remove to Saline connty. Mr. Rattij who was comfortably situated where he was, objected to this arrangement, presuming that his young wife would approve his decision. But the influence of the mother was more powerful than that of the husband, and when the old lady took her departure, almost before the honeymoon had passed, the daughter and bride went with her.

It was a crushing blow to the young farmer, to whom a new life and a n«w

world had just been revealed, and whose hopes of happiness were thus crushed and shattered in a day. But although be endured it philosophically, and made no effort to induce his wife to return, still from that day he was a changed man. He prospered and accumulated wealth, but it was apparent to all that his sorrow was a heavy burden. Hard lines came in his face, his form was bent and his hair and beard were prematurely sprinkled with gray.

Several years later he was officially notified that his wife had instituted proceedings to obtain a divorce. It was easy to defeat this effort, and after the trial was over he began suit in Gentry county against his wife, alleging desertion as a cause of action, and obtained a decree of separation.

During these proceedings he learned for the first time that he was the father of a beautiful girl, just budding into womanhood.

The remainder of the story may be briefly told. The mother-in-law died, and the wife repented of her error. Bv her consent, Lena, the daughter, who is now nineteen years of age, wrote to her father a pretty letter, full of tenderness and devotion, and expressed a long-cherished wish that she might see him and be with him in his declining years. The letter delicately hinted of a spark of the old love lingering in her mother's heart for the jusband whom she had wronged at the instigation of another.

The past rose up before him like a dream. He had learned to hate his wife, but after a mighty struggle within himself the gates of his soul were opened and a flood of love poured in to drown all the bitterness that existed there.

He replied to his daughter's letter, and sent her money to pay her fare, together with some token of good will for her mother.

Yesterday's meeting was the result of this correspondence. Lena was coming home, and her father had hastened to St. Joseph to meet her. He had never seen her, he said, and solicited the assistance of Depot Master Veitch, who discovered her in the manner above described.

A few hours later the father and his daughter were speeding homeward, over the St. Joseph & Des Moines railroad, as happy as a bridal pair.

There is still another scene to be enacted in the interesting drama. There will be another meeting at the St. Joseph Union depot. Another wedding wUl occur in Gentry county, and Joseph Ratti and his bride will complete the celebration of their honeymoon, after twenty years.

POTASH

Iodide of Ptftassium is one of the strongest of the minerals used in medicine, and has produced much suffering in the world. Taken for along time ana in large dotes, it dries up the gastrin juices, impairs digestion, tbe stomach refuses food, and the patient declines in health and weight. Persons with Blood or Skin Diseases should be careful how they take these mineral poisons, as in most instances the effect of them is to almost permanently impair the constitution. To take the place of these poisons we offer yon a safe, sure, prompt and permanent relief from your troubles. Swift's Specific is entirely a vegetable preparation. and it is easy to convince you of Its merit.

I have cured permanently Blood Taint in the third generation by the use of Swift'8 Specific, after I had most signally failed with Mercury and Potash.
