This extension is Wjw Vicksburg, Miss., but on tbe Vht or west side of the river, and is mainly due to a break 2,000 feet in yrtdth, in tbe lovee at Biggs. The out flow of water at tbiH poin; has totolly nubuierged our parishes (counties) of 1'i.uihiuim and partially overflowed five othtirs, while a break at La Fonrohe crossing in tbo southern part of the tame Stnto, has resulted in the submer gence of an additional area of nearly flOO square miles in La Fonrche and Teare Bonne parishes. In tbis newly submerged reeion there was in 1890 a total population of 83,350, in the pro IKtrtion of four colored persons to ne white. Tbe region contained at the last census 7,747 farms, with a total Veaofover 1,000,000 acres, of which 420,00 were improved. Of this last mentioned area, 213,000 oores, or over one half, were last year devoted to cot ton, over fll.000 acres to corn, 6,000 acres to sugar cane, 2,000 acres to hay and an inconsiderable acreage to other crops. The total value of these farms, inqludjrjg fences and tbe buildings, but xq)nsive of their movable equipment Vs in 1800 close npo 811,000,000 and the value of tbe implements and ma chinery and implements upon them was over 800, 000. On January 1, of the present year, they contained live t-toek to. the value of $1,500,000 nnd so lately as the first of lnroh they were estimated to have till o.n hand about $800,000 worth of the. crop of last season. The total value 1 iho farms submerged by the breaks 'in the levees that have occurred since tbe 10th inst., with their farm imple ments, live stock and crops on hand, is thoretoro close upon $14,000,000. This region produced last year nearly 100,000 bales of cotton, over 9,000,000 pounds of sugar, over 1,800,000 bushels of corn, besides hay, potatoes, oats and other itt'uor products, tho entire production aggregating a value, even at the low prices that have prevailed, of more than $4,350,000. "The total area submerged at this date ii over 20,000 square miles.' 1 1 con tained at the last census $4(1, 'JM farms, vitha totul area of 4,904,468 acres, nearly one-half of which was improved, apj a total population, agricultural and otherwise, of 402,041.

A Cuban Dollar Coined. The New York Journal says: The Cuban dollar will be on the streets with in a few days. It will be silver coin of the exact size of the Spanish coin known as five pesetas. One million dollars' worth of bullion is to be cor yei ted into the coin, which, even if it is no more than a souvenir of the Cuban struggle, will still be worth its weight. The Cuban Junta endorses tbe circula tion of a silver coin bearing the stamp of the Provisional Government. The Red and Kansas Rivers Spread, log Over tbe luterlor. A Memphis, Tenn. , special of April 20 say the river toward Vicksburg, Natchez and Helena aud St Joseph, La, , is reported either stationary or fall ing. This Condition is the result of a vast amount of water passing through the crevasso at Biggs' and Heed's levees, above Natchez, and at Honcock'si below. The levees in the vicinity Of Natchez continues to hold under the great strain, but tbeir holding is now f little interest to tbe plunters in Con cordia, Tensas and Madison parishes, as the water has backed up above and below will soon flood tbe rich lands of these parishes, and the result will be almost as disastrous as if other breaks had occurred. The Bed audKansas rivers are now swelling, almost running over tbe banks, and by tomorrow they will begin spreading over a section of 80 miles to the interior. Work continues on tbe levees, however, without abate ment, and everything possible is being done to hold the temainder of the levee system intact. At Memphis tbe river continues to fall. Reports fromOreen ville, Bosedale and Cairo state that an encouraging decline is noted. TENNESSEK CENTENNIAL. President SIcKlnloy Will Press the Ilutton and Start the Machinery.

A Ne braska suar refining company donated five tons ol beet seed to tbe Depart ment, and tbe Department purchased two tons additional. The supply is about exhausted by tbe demand.

HE IS BESEIGED WITH QUESTIONS. Correspondence With Old Friends Great Pleasure to the Sage . of Bartow. Request Mude for 40,000 Ofllces The Washington Dispatch says: "A delegation representing the league of Republican clubs of America held an extended conference on Saturday with iresiaent luciviuiey, xne delegation asked that something like 40,000 ofllces should be restored to the .status they occupied prior to Mr. Cleveland's last civil service extension. These offices include chiefs of divisions in the va rious departments, confidential clerks, many employes in the different post offices and custom houses throughout the country, those engaged in the in ternal revenue service and all the high officials now exempt from removal for political reasons. " More Settlers Expected. It is expected that 1,000 Waldenses from the Alpine valleys will arrive in Tennessee this spring to join tbe col ony of 310 that established itself near Morgautown, N. C, in 18113. Tbe first colony that came to this country set tled in Hurke county. North Carolina, in 181)3. Under the leadership of Dr. Teoflio Gal and Rev. 8. A. Tron, the colonists purchased several thousand acres of land aud obtained a period of twenty yoars in which to pay for it Turks Completely Repulsed. The latest from the Greco-Turkish war says that after desperate battle the Greeks captured and burned Da masL Vigllia is still resisting. An other division of the Greek troops, it is reported, has traversed the Keveni pass and captured three block houses. This division has almost rAnnlia.1 Damasi, where it will effect a union with the force that captured the town The 20,000 troops under General Smolentiz, displayed the greatest bravery. Populists to Reorganize. The committee of the National Re form Association have decided to waee war on Marion Butler, as chairman of the Populist party, and also n ganize the party, owing to he Butler refusing to call the national committe together. The committee's call is for convention to be held at Nashville, Tens., July 4th, next, with one uele- frate for 230 middle-of-the-road Popu ist votes cast in the recent PresidAnt .1 election. Broke Its Record. Italy broke its record of emigration in 1890, the nnmber of persona leaving the country being 80fl,098, three-fifths of the number intending to stay away permanently. Sixty-eicht thousand persons came to the United States. Devoted to Negro Education. There are in tbe Southern States nearly 100 endowed schools and col leges devoted to negro education. These institutions represent an invest ment of nearly $10,000,000 and ore maintained at an annual expense of bout $4,000,000. Corbett Challenges Fltzslmmons. James J. Corbett has formally chal lenged Robert Fitzsimmons to meet once again in the prize ring, and has deposited $5,000 as a forfeit There is perhaps no invention or contrivance that has brought more comfort to mankind than that of let ters and their easy transmission by modern postal service. How wonder fully cheap they are and how swiftly they come and gol Only 2 cents to the utmost limit of the United States. say 4,000 miles, and only 5 cents to be carried across the ocean. It takes only 'i cents to carry a letter to the City of Mexico, but it takes 5 cents to bring one back. My wife says that it is hard on Carl for besides his weekly letter to us, he has many friends, and the girl he left behind him, and his postage is quite a tax. She thinks I ought to write to President Diaz and Mr. McKinley and demand reciprocity, just for Carl's sake, but I compromised with her by promising to inclose a dime in every letter I wrote to the boy. In almost every mail that comes she is on the lookout for a letter from some of the absent ones, and when she gets one she reads it two or three times and Hies it away on her side of the room. The morning and the evening mail has become an important an event in the routine of our daily life as our daily meals. It is an event that has grown on us and become indispensable. Time was when neither she nor I received a letter a month, for she bad no lover but me, and I had none but her and our postal system was a darkey boy. It was like that of Zeb Vance, who received a note from some fashionable woman in Washington with the myste rious letters, "R. S.V. P." endorsed on it, and when he answered it he put on one corner "S. B. A. N.," just to keep up with society, he said. When she afterwards asked for an explanation he smiled and said: "Oh, they stood for 'Sent by nigger.'" I remember when the postage had to be paid at the last end of the line by the person who received it, and it was 25 cents if it came 500 miles. If less than that, but from out tbe state, it was 18 cents, and if within the state, it was 12 cents. We had no decimal currency then, but we had the seven pence (12 cents) and the thrip (6 cents) and they were worn to the quick from constant use. Nothing told their value except their size. We received the great United States mail twice a week and the tooting of the stage dri ver's horn as he rose to the brow of the distant hill aroused all the people of the little village, and most of them gathered at the postofflce to hear the news. Perhaps there were as many as twenty weekly papers taken in the town, but none of them made mention of murders or suioides or lynchings or elopements or baseball or football or bicycle raoes or the fashions or re' wards for guessing or advertisements of celery compound or photographs of men or women or babies or the arrival of anybody less than a president or governor, iiut in our state papers there were some little pictures or outs of hasty departures runaways and all were uniformly advertised: "Ran away from the subscriber, my boy Dick, etc.. and I will give f 10 reward for his apprehension." But now the letters ah, the letters that come every day! Besides the family letters from kith and kin, there re scores from good people who are working for church or charity, or want information about Florida or Mexioo, Very often am I cemforted with com pliments which I love to receive, and very often I get good, long letter from some old-time Georgian who for half century has been living in Texas or Arkansas, or somewhere in tbe great west It pleases me to re ply to all and make the best answer that I can. But perhaps I had better say just here that I have long since ceased to write compositions for the school girls or to assist the boys in their debating societies. I wish sin cerely that I had time to help them. but I have not. I know how it is, for I need to get help myself. .But .some of these letters are amus ing. One received few days aeo is very urgent to have my opinion upon the propriety or impropriety of chris tian man digging a storm pit and get ting in it when the cyclone gives its warning. Is it sinful or not to show such lack of faith in God? He says they are making church question of it in his community. I have had sev eral letters asking for assistance in guessing the missing word that The Constitution offers thousand dollars for. These letters, of course, are con fidential, and some beg me not to mention it even to Mrs. Arp. But the delicious humor in one of them is fhe offer to give me half the reward if I will disclose to her the word. That is very like the generous fellow who told the boy that if he would furnish his own hooks and lines and bait he would give him half the fish he caught Since my last letter about how to raise children was published I have had several very comforting epistles from friends and some from strangers. Bev. William H. Strickland makes mention of several families from old Gwinnett whose children are all grown and are esteemed by all who know them as good people honest law abiding and temperate. He names the three sons and five daughters of my old friend Jim Dnnlsy. Also the eight children cf Rev. D. H. Moncriof. one of whom now lives in Atlanta, and has five sons and five daughters, all grown tip and all good men and wo; men. John and Mary B. Sajnuioun, his wife, had thirteen to grow to ma turit, and they were all good. How rich these parents were! richer than Vanderbiltor Astor. And so were the Children of D. W. Spence and Wash Allen. One had eight and the other ten. ' . . Wellt now, one of the reasons is that all of those families come from old Gwinnett, and most of tlie cbildrer) were front that old Sammo'ris stock that lived on Alcovy creek when I was a boy. The first couple 1 ever saw married outside of my father's house was Jim Dunlnp and Rebecca Sam mons, and Jim outmarried himself when he got her. That was an old fashioned, country wedding, nnd it Was a big one. They had turkeys and roast pigs and pound cake amazing, and they had thousand-dollar candle sticks all about, for eveiy likely negro boy had a torch. But my wife and I left there forty-six years ago, and did not know that these good people had had bo many children. May all such be perpetuated. And I have A good letter from Buena Vista, telling of old Dr. Reese, who bus raised seven boys and two girls, and they are all good, sober, industrious, Christian children, and had a gentle, kind, loving, Chris tian mother, who is now among the angels. That is it, after all the mother the mother the gentle, kind, loving, Christian mother. So I am encouraged to recall my ap prehension concerning the black sheep being in all large flocks of children.

William Steele Holman, of Indiana, the oldest member of Congress In point of ser vice, died at Washington, Thursday, after an Illness of several weeks, hplnal menin gitis was the dlreet cause of death, and the venerable statesman had been un conscious for days preceding the end. Congressman Holman was nearly seventy. five years of age, his birthday falling in September. He was serving his sixteenth term. Mr. Holman would hove been callod the Father of the House" during late years were it not for the fact that for over twenty years he was known, both in and out of tue House, as ' the watonaog oi tne Treasury." Many Confederate Veterans Will Visit the Tennessee Exposition. FOGLE MADE HIS OWN COFFIN. Diversified Parnilda Will' be Well Represented Krtrisorn to Dellve the Address. THS LATE W. S. BOLMlKiy William Steele Holman was born In Dear born County, Indiana, in 1822. He had a common sohool eikuoatlon, supplemented by a two-yr-r oourse at Franklin College. Then he t Rut school to support himself while he studied law. When twenty one years of age he was eleeted Probate Judge. He served also as a proseouting attorney, was a member of the Constitu tional Convention of 1850. Then he en tered the Legislature, and later on was re turned to the Bench. His Congressional career oommenoed with the Thirty-sixth, and out of the twenty sessions of that body whloh have followed he hai been absent from but four, the Thirty-ninth, Forty-fifth. Forty-sixth and Fifty-fourth, a reoord unparalleled In American publlo life. Personally Mr. Holman was of a genial and approachable disposition, whloh did much to reoonolle his oolleagues to his course on publlo matters, notably appropriations. Frank James In a New Role. Frank James as a guard on express trains cnrylng large amounts of money or valuables is one of tbe novelties tbe express people are now arranging. Ne gotiations huve been In progress now for several weeks, but the probabili ties are that they will be closed up within a few ditys. The ef'ect of James' name. In view of bis former prowess In robbing trains himself. Is what the express companies are aiming after. They do not know, they say, that he could stop a determined robber any more than one of their own mes sengers, but they think the ordinary train robber would hesitate to tackle him. James is willing to accept tbe position, and guarantee that no train in his charge will be robbed except over his dead body, with one single provis ion, and that Is that the express people put up a bond of $20,000. this amount to go to bis widow In case of bis death. Tbe express people are Inclined to yield to this, though there Is some opposition. James has .been firm In standing out for It, and will not go out on tbe road unless the bond is fixed up to his satis faction. Since be became a respectable and law-abiding citizen be baa taken very good care of bis family, and be does not propose to commence doing anything else now. When the negotia tions were first begun he was asked If be could shoot with both Lands. "Well," he replied, "It used to be that I could, and I guess I have not forgot ten bow yet." James has been working steadily for some time, but has never been able to make an exorbitant salary, and for that reason would be willing to tnko the rtak of 'this venture. As one of bis friends says: "It is not as much risk as he has tiken on hundreds of occasions before, when out on one of bis raliK The only difference would be that In this he would have the law cn his side." Mr. Augustus Fogle died Monday from the second attack of pneumonia, at his home in Salem, aged 77 years. Mr.,Foglo was sheriff of Forsyth for six years and mayor of Salem sevornl terms. He made two trips by private conve3-ance miny years ago tft the Cherokee nation. He went there after Bishop Herman, of the Moravian church, who died on the return trip, in Missouri. Mr. Fosle was buried in a walnut coffin, which he made with his own hands from a tree planted near the hoineplace by his mother. He made forty-three pulpits for churches and presented them to various danominn tions. He also made by hand a few years ago a "map tule" showing the various States in the Unton, each one being represented by various kinds of wood, lie leaves a diary of his nan v life, and books giving detailed accounts of bis travels by rail and private con veyance. - -4 The Bnloigh News and Observer s.ivsi "No State will be better repre sonted at the Keunion of United Con federate Veterans, to be held in Nash ville, Teun., in Jiluo, than will North Carolina.

He is now getting up a list of the mines. He will also visit quarries. It is conceded Ihat fire insurance rates on farm property in this btate are too high and they have proveutedmnnv farmers from'insuring. It must be ad mitted that country risks have not proved a profitable class to most of the companies. 1 ho rates nre now sure to be reduced and this will please the furmer .Wilmington Messenger.

New York ladles have beon dlsmsslnff the Inroads made on the home by club life and bewailing modern innovations generally. One roman declared that homes are broken up that tbe home- maker may obtain leisure for lectures and clubg, and even babies of 6 are smitten with the fever. Ctirdd bas no privacy In which to shoot his darts and can only make his advances under tbe cover of a hundred eyes." But, worse than all thte, was the statement that the fin do siecle woman bad no time to make mince pies. It bas been found by experiment that tea retards digestion. An Infusion of 1 per cent of tea causes a perceptible delay; a 8 per cent Infusion will delay the digestion, sometimes, as much as twelve times tbe normal period; a 10 per cent decoction arrests the diges tion of all atarch v foods.
