Tho situation along the lower
Mississippi is verv critical. The
river was already at high water
mark, before the recent floods
from the Ohio and Missouri
poured in. There is much dan
ger of the levees giving way,
which would mean destruction
to thousands of farms and
homesteads.
Later: The levees are broken
in many places and the low
lands are being rapidly sub
merged. Tuesrday, April 1st. was "All
Fools' Day." The origin of this
day of practical jokes seems a
trifle obscure. Iy some the cus
torn has been traced to the scene
in the life i" Jesus when he was
sent from Pilate to Herod, then
back from Herod to Pilate,
which occured at this time
Away back nearly a hundred
years in the Clavis Calendania,
mention is mane of the first
of April as "All Fools' Day,"
and Scotland's poetry and song
is replete with anecdotss and
jokes perpetrated on this day,
and among the Hindoos a day
of fooleries, the Ifuli Fest, is
also observed. Among the Hin
doos all kinds of jokes and like
silly species of witticisms are
saved lor this day.
The Boyle trial is ended. The
Jury rendered a verdict of not
guilty. We have not read all
the evidence, so can express no
opinion based on it. Whether
the pitiable girl is innocent or
guilty, whether Boyle is technical
ly guilty or not of the nameless
crime, probably n one knows,
save themselveor ever will, out
these points are not nowmaterial
But it is material and high'y
important to unaarthand ferret
out if possible to what extent
money was used to secure the
above verdict. The first Ju.-y
said, "guilty," convicting him
to suffer death as a slteM r,en-
anc6 for the blackest and most
infamous crime in the catalogue;
the second verdict is "innocent"
sending him scott free and the
rabble applaud Yes wliether
technically guilty or not,yet by
his own admissions he is damned
m the eyes of all respectable
men a moral leper, one for
whom lynching should be con
eidend a merciful fate.

A Disgraceful Scene at the Capital of
the State.
Clinton, N. C, March, 31st,lS0O.
Editor Caucasian: The clos
ing paragraph in the Messengers
Raleigh "Special" of yesterday,
says: -'At ll:o0 to-night the
jury in the Boyle rape case
having been out nearly two
hours, rendered the verdict of
not guilty. The announcement
was greeted with great applause
by the great crowd which pack
ed the court room "
Well, there are crowds and
crowds, but what a foul gather
ing of heartless libertines and
profligate wretches that Raleigh
court house crowd must have
been. Think of it. A lecherous
priebt of the Romish church,
vowed to chastity, ruins a lamb
of his flock, a Wake county jury
s.iys he has done no wrong, and
the verdict is greeted with ap
plause! Great heavens, to what
a pass things have come in this
southland!
Now it makes no difference
whether the poor young victim
"resisted" to the lasc or not,
the iact that the crime was
commited by a priest, and that
it was consummated, too, in the
very church edifice in which
the priest officiated and his
victim worshipped, made the
perpetrator doubly deserving
death.
But, while a crowd of heart
less vulgarians in the Raleigh
courtroom my rejoice over the
acquittal of a sanctimonious
villain, it is somewhat consoling
to reflect that.about all respecta
ble people at this distance
(which distance is, by the bles
sings of (Jod, a safe one,) from
the Capital of the State, reli
giously believe that the time
has come when it h the sacred
duty of every father, son, hus
band, brother or next of kin, to
slay in his tracks, on sight, any
salacious wolf in priestly vest
ments who shall tamper, or at
tempt to tamper, with the
virtue of a female meuibar of
his fold. T. J. L
1 S. Since writing the above
we read in the papers that in less
than an hour and a half after
his acquittal Boyle was aboatd
a train bound for Pennsylvania,
accompanied by Father Charles
of the Church of the Sacred
Heart, Raleigh, which latter
fact would tend to confirm the
belief of many who have closely
watched the proceedings in the
case, that, from the beginning
to the end of his trial, so-called,
Boyle was aided by the influence
and money of the Romish
church. And who doubts it?
Further comment unnecessary.

The greatest damage to ' life and
property ha-, been at Louisville, Ky.
Twenty-five hundred buildings were
destroyed, nuny hundred j ersons
perished and thousands vereinjured.
Tho New York Star says :
The cyclone passed directly thro
thr heart of the city. For six blocks
wide, scarcely isa buihlingleft stand
ing. Cn Market, Main, Jefferson
and Walnut streets more than four
hundred business houses were level-;
ed. A large force of men have been
at work nil day on the ruins search
ing for the dead and dying. Xotone
of the handsome wholesale houses,
on Main street, from Eiphth to Four
teenth streets, remain, but on .Mar
ket street, where Falls City 1 1'iJ I
stands, the most harrowing scenes
were witnessed.
Sl'OllKS KILLED AT l'KSTI V1T 1 1
The building was four stories high
of stone, brick and iron. Jtwastneto
the greatest loss of life probably oc
curred. In the lower rooms of the
hall were at least one hundred ami
fifty persons. They included fifty
or seventy-five children, with then
parents nnd relatives, taking danc
ing ie.-,soiis. On an tipper lloor of
the hill were about one hundred
mre persons, attending a lodge
meeting. Theentire structure in less
than five minutes was a shapeless
mass of brick and mortar, burvim?
200 helpless victims, of which num- f
her few escaped uninjured. Cooser-!
vative estimates place the loss of life
at ICO, while other reports indicate !
the number nearer two hundred. i
Tho Courier-Journal, in an extra,
says : The mighty stroke of the tor
nado fel' with a suddenness that
scarcely gave time for quickened
heartbeats before those hearts were
stilied in death. Twice before the
wrenching asunder of life and homes
and castles of trade the impulse of
the gale fought impatiently to ac
complish the work reserved for the
whirling tiger of the air, whose avant
couriers they were. Twice, for five
furious minutes each, they strove,
and passed on screeching in their
bullied rage. Then came a lull, but
only for a little space, and then the
tornado tiew over the doomed terri
tory, with terrible lightnings, from
Eighteenth and Maple streets, diag
onally across the city, crushing dwell
ings and business blocks like egg
shells, toppling down church steeples
and wrenching warehouses to frag
ments, the dread visitant passed to
the river front, leaving, to mark the
boundaries of ruin, a broad swath of
wreckage and dead and mangled u-
manity impaled and weighted down
or burning in the ignited debris.

The last meeting of the club, on
last Thursday evening at the resi-
t'ence of Miss Brown, was the most
interesting and profitable one since
its organization. .Miss Sudie Fai
soa's paper on the character of Othel
lo was voted the best and ordered to
be published, but her modesty has
deprived our subscribers of the plea
sure of reading it. The following
are some of the finest passages as se
lected and read by Miss Nela Fowle:

your paper, styled "Sampson's Bill
Arp"(I do not know the gentleman),
in an article on tho weather, in The
Caucasian of March 20th, writes 'a
whole column, which to my mind
is well calculated to stimulate if not
to generate a spirit of sacuileok,
in the minds of many who read the
paper. I would not for a moment
suppose your correspondent had any
evil intent; but there surely sa woe
ful want of reverence for him who
holds the reins of the universe. He
talks of sending weather iv tele
graph and speaks of "Old Prubabil- '
lties" as having put up a job on him,
and changed the seasons, vx. Now
who is this "Old Probabilities," be
ginning with capital letters? Does
he mean the author of the seasons?
What else can lie mean ? Surely he
did not mean to say that the mind
of God became shaky and in this
condition made his will and died;
and the various changes of weathe
is but the result of a big lawsuit be
tween the seasons. This is the ex
act meaning of his language, so
far as his article refers to the weath
er bureau at Washington, if I read
it correctly. The West, Ohio, Eng
land and politics, I have nothing to
say; but when a man s-ays he feels
like saying "dum" the weather I
would in all the kindness of my
heart advise the editor not to print
it. I hope, Mr. Editor, you will ex-
use what may seem to be audacity

The importance of purifying the blood can
not be overestimated, for without pore blood
you cannot enjoy good health.
At this season nearly every one needs
good medicine to purify, vitalize, and enrich
the blood, and vre ask you to try Hood's
Pun 1 1 in r Sarsaparma. It strengthens
rcuuuai and DUilda np a,,, 8yStcmt
creates an appetite, and tones the digestion,
while it eradicates disease. The peculiar
combination, proportion, and preparation
of the vegetable remedies used give to
Hood's Sarsaparilla pecul- -r- i
Lit curative powers. No O IXSCIT
other medicine has such a record of wonderful
cures. If you have made np your mind to
buy Hood's Sarsaparilla do not be induced to
take any other instead. It is a Peculiar
Medicine, and is worthy your confidence.
Hood's Sarsaparilla is sold by all druggists,
rrepared by C. L Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.
