THE NEW YORK WORLD CORRESPONDENT HAS A PLEASANT WORD TO SAY OF SENATOR VANCE. Senator Vance, of North Car olina, has 'been under the weather and has been cautioned by Ms phy sician to be extremely prudent. He is troubled with facial paralysis and with sinking spells that makebreath in difficult. He has been similarly affected before. While he was Gov ernor of North Carolina a few years ago his life for a time was despaired of. There is probably no member of the Senate whose absence from the 'Chamber is more readily noted by his associates Mr. Vance is a wit, a philosopher, an inimitable story tel ler and the jolliest of companioas. He is the one member of that solemn nd impressive body who refuses to succumb to the heavy atmesphere of his station. He insists, though a Senator, on taking life naturally and pleasantly and his running and racy comments on the debates are about the richest; things heard in the Senate. Mr. Vance does not speak often, but he always commands at tention. Neither does he attempt to lay down the law when he does take the floor. His speeches illustrate the unconventional type of the man, be :ng full of homely phrases in vogue iu rural communities and of apt and breezy reference to every day affairs. The Senator enjoys a neatly turned pirody and has more than once shocked the Senate butdclighted his lnemis by quoting a bit of doggerel. Mr. Vance is sixty-two but he is lii-avy, And, like the majority of large men, he neglects to take sufficient exercise, and the results is some ser ious disorder of the system. His trip to iiurupe last year did not perman ently benefit him. Do nt Take Oub Word, But call your druggist to one side and asix hirn privately which of all the remedies advertised to cure Rheuma tism he would recommend. If he is posted, and conscientious, he will teil you that Dr. Drummond's Lightning Remedy is the only one that offers a reward of $500 for a case it will not cure, and for ordinary cases the money is returned when one mbottl3 does not cure. With sensible people thisMs the strongest recommendation. Price 65 Pr bottle. Sent to any address pre paid on receipt of priee. Drummond Medicine Co., 48 to 5O Maiden Lane, Tew York.

Whatever befell, O moon! don't tell, 'Tvvas nothing amiss, know very well. O moon! you knew, Long years ago, You left the sky and descended below. Of a summer night, By your own sweet light You met your Endrmion on Patmos height. And then, O. moon! You gave him a boon You wouldn't, I'm sure, have granted at noon. kTwas nothing amiss, Being only the bliss Of giving and taking an innocent kiss Some churlish lout v ho was spying about Went off and babbled, and so it got out, But for all the gold The sea would hold, O moon! I wouldn't have gone and told. So, moon, don't tell Whatever befeli My lover and me in the leafy dell. He is honest and true, And remember, too We only behaved like your lover and you. KNoAo 3ELUGED. Kansas is again deluged for the third time in ten days, and the last is the worst of all. On Thursday (May 12th) the rain was descending in torrents and the flood was at its greatest height. OneMhird of the capital city of Topeka is under water and the low suburbs are sub merged and made unfit for habitation, and the police and fire departments of the city are busy in aiding the unfor tunate residents. The Kansas river which flows through the city is at the top of its banks and there in a prospect of a disastrous overflow. Ex. THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD. Greenville, Miss, May 16. The cre vasse near Gaines' Landing, on the Arkansas side of the river is G50 feet wide and the water is flowing through at a depth of about fifteen feet. No attempt will be made to raise r. ctop of cotton in the flooded territory. So far tne efforts to tie the eiud of the break have proven futile. AND THEN FORGET IT FOREVER.
