Houses are continually tumbling into the flood, and one wide scene of disaster every where prevails. P‘ cple who wer< only a few days ego comfortable and happy, have had their homes and all their property swept away by the insatiable waters—thousands are houseless and homeless, and the amount of human suffering is incalcu table.

He is more decidedly aristocratic since the old white house has been scrubbed up and new window curtains hung Now \V?,idsor castle is quite a simple home compared to the executive man sion of the republic. Bed tape flutters in every corridor and liveried lackeys guard every door from the approach of ordinary mortality. When all the out. side splendor is penetrated and one stands in the presence of “His Excel lency,” the climactic effect is reached, and one wonders lmw lioseoe Conklmg, with all his arrogance, could allude to this man as £ a prize ox.” Some of the presidents old chums, who used to drink and clnt with him in New York club rooms, and even after he came here as Vice President are wofully hurt at his chilly reseive.

When the bank failed, its creditors represented by Judge Bleckley and Hopkins and Glenn sued the stockholders for the 50 per cent, of subscriptions still due. Many of the stockholders, Governor Brown among others, bought up claims of de positors at a low price, and hold them as offsets agiinst these unpaid subscrip tions. Mr Ellis now decides that they aie liable for the 50 per cent, unpaid, and hints that the law will not sustain the settlement made by buying up de positors claims at a discount. If the decision stands, and the $200,000 is collected, it will pay up all claims of the broken bank. It will be appealed, however. The Constitution prin.s the decision in full. ♦ Augusta New-* : A negro entered the warehouse at Johnson's station S.
