Commercial Travelers' Home. The commercial travelers are great people. Nottoappreclatetbe Importance of their labors Is to acknowledge one's Ignorance of the methods of trade. They are the most intrepid nomads that are left on the earth. They live In kleeplng-care and hotels, brave the per ils of the rail, the lunch counter, and the hotel bed; live single or apart from their families, endure all weathers and any company that offers and all that the affinity between good goods and solvent buyers may be discerned and triumph. The attention paid to them during the late campaign attested their importance In ilie community, Great pains were taken, especially in Chi cago, to equip them with sound fiscal and political sentiments, so that they might scatter good seed wherever they went. Their national organization is luiiMing a home at Hiughamton, X. V., for worthy indigent commercial trav elers ami their dependent families. It Is to complete tills building that the Commercial Travelers' Fair is being helil in the Madison Square Carden. It began on the l'ith and closes on the 1'sth, and through It the travelers aspire to raise !M'M)')). It is a great fair, full of novel shows and managed by people of enterprise.

A fur ther half-inch rise ia the Mississippi means the devastation of property and prohaMy a loss of life uneqtialed in the Hood history of this section. The rise is threatened, because rain is btill fall ing. .Seventeen persons are reported drowned helow Curruthersville, Mo. A stretch of land over HXJ miles long-, from a point 70 miles north of Memphis to a point .V) miles south of the Tennes see metropolis, is submerged, in places to a depth of lu feet. The fertile val leys of '1 emiessee and Arkansas are completely inundated and many lives have been lost and stock drowned. Fencings and dwellings have been twept away, and the inhabitants are destitute nnd homeless, left to starve or drown by the remorselessly rising tide, llepoi ts from tributary streams show rains and rapidly rising rivers all of which w ill help to swell the rising waters. The floods now partake of the nature of a deluge. As far as the eve can see nothing but water meets the gaze. Six hundred people were rescued yes terday on the Arkansas side of the river and taken to Memphis, but there are flooded districts which relief boats can not reach the stricken ones. On island ;)0, one hundred sullerers and consider able live stock were rescued by the steamer Itasca. Neither man nor beast had tasted food for H'4 hours.

For many miles the country is Hooded, anil the water is up on the Iron Mountain track. Hundreds of hands are try ing to keep it back with dirt bags. At every station the negroes are gathering, waiting to be taken away. Many get on the trains ami are carried w ithout pay. The list of fatalities is siii.l to be long and probably never w ill be known. Several lives have been lost by the up setting of a 'Mug out," and many more fatalities are reported. A mountain if household goods is piled up at ev ery stotion. Whites and negroes beg for help from every train crew.

A special to the States from Vicksburg, Miss., says the river situation for the nest thirty days promises to be more than serious. There is a higher stage at Cairo and Helena, the two main points of observation, than since INNii, and bv their reported rain falls in the pasrt twenty-lour hours, both will score ex treme high water marks. The pressure is going to be excessive all along the levee lines. It will first appear between Helena and the mouth of the Arkansas. On that reach, levees have been put in front of the White river basin since the last high water, and the effect of this is now 1 o be tested. From there down the levees have been raised ami enlarged greatly and ought to hold unless the Hood is prolonged. Altogether, it is the most serious situation for the delta since ls'S'2. A dispatch from Anniston, Ala., savs a strong wind storm did great damage in this section, but no loss of life is re ported. At Jackson, Miss., andiciuitv the storm did great damage to property, but no loss of life is reported at this time. All telegraph wires are down. A dispatch from .Memphis, Tenn., of March is, says: The work of rescuiug the people in the flooded district is be ing carried on night and day and thiy morning half a dozen steamers brought to Memphis over l.oou refugees. The steamboat men tell some harrowing stories of suffering and death. One wo man who was rescued from an Indian mound. 15 miles west of here, held in her arms a dead infant that had perish ed from cold and hunger. Another fam ily id' lour when rescued, related that two small children were drowned in sight of their helpless parents. Islands Nos. 4n. :it; and ;I4 in the Mis sissippi river are completely submerged and the inhabitants to the number of about COO have abandoned their homes.

The valley of the lower Mississippi is u vast inland sea. 1'eath, desolation and distress is spreading from as fa north tvi llird's Point, Mo., to the country below Helena. Ark. The heavy rainfall of the past fortnight in the vaf ley and the subsequent floods are the inimeiate cause of the frightful swelling in tiie Mississippi in the vicity of Cairo and south of there. The break in the levee near Nodena, Ark., Saturday has wrought havoc in Mississippi county, v Inch is virtually at the mercy of the raging torrent. Many persons are thought to have perished iu the vicin ity. Twenty-live negioes are reported drowned in lushv Hayou. Three Murderers Lynched. A special from Oeala, Fla., states thai three negroes, named Kd Holmes, .liiii Miley and Jim (iilmore, were lynched at I'due Springs Station, south east of that place, at :; o'clock Monday morning, by an armed mob of over 4tK) men They confessed the murder of Postmaster J.

He Puts Corbett to Sleep lu the Four teenth Round by a IJIow Under the Heart. At Carson, Nevada, Wednesday after two years of doubt and vexatious postponement, the heavyweight cham pionship of the world was decided be yond cavil, when Robert Fitzshnmons sent James J. Corbett helpless to his knees, w ith a left hand blow under the heart, after one minute and 45 seconds, in the fourteenth round of their battle in the arena. The great contest was won in the simplest manner, and the knockout was the result of one unwarj move on the part of Corbett. The dis patch saj's that the ex-champion is al most crazed over his defeat, but says that it was a fair fight and that he was not satisfied and would have it over. After the result was declared Fitzsim mon's wife stepped np and kissed the bloody face of her victorious husband. After the big mill there were two side fights, which resulted: Hawkins put Flaherty out with a left sw ing in 40 seconds, and Green defeated Smith in the thirteenth round. Large crowds witnessed the fights, and it is impossible to estimate the amount of money that changed hands on the above results. COTTON (iltOWKKS. Meeting of Their Protective Associa tion in Augusta, ia. The meeting of the American Cotton Growers' Protective Association at Au gusta, Ga , was attended by a very representative body of men. President Hector 1). Lane, of Alabama, presided and addressed the convention. An ad dress was also made by ex-Senator Patrick Walsn. Resolutions were adopted urging the farmers to first make the cotton States self-supporting, and then the area devoted to cotton will yield more profitable than if they sought to increase the number of bales. While the reduction of the acreage to be planted iu cotton for the sole pur pose of reducing the size of the crop may be impracticable, the increase of area planted in food crops must inev itably bring prosperity to the cotton growers, irrespective of the size of the cotton crop. There has never been a time in our history that a movement looking to the increased production of corn, hay, oats, hog anil other food crops was also imjiortant ami neces sary. Illness of (ien. Hampton. Gen. Wade Hampton, the famous warrior-statesman of South Carolina, is dangerously ill at his apartments in the Metropolitan Hotel, Washington, and his recovery is regarded by some of his friends as doubtful. His health has been failing him for several mon'hs past, and in addition he has suffered greatly from the never-healing wound which followed the amputation of his right leg at the close of the war. His vitality has been further taxed recently by a distressing cough, which appears to have settled upon his lungs. The General is now nearly so years of age, and it is feared he has not sufficient re cuperative power to withstand the latest attack upon his already depleted syste n. Short in His Accounts. At Richmond, Va., the board of di rectors of the old Mutual Assurance Society of Virginia make public a de falcation of some Olio as the result of the examination of the books of the association by an expert bookkeeper.

BRIEF IN RECOMMENDATIONS Session Called to Deal With Deficits and Prevent Same in Future by Passing a Tariff Hill. Washington, March 15. The extra ordinary session of the Fifty-fifth Con gress was opened by reading the Presi dent's proclamation con veniug it. Sixty eight Senators answered to the roll-call, and the galleries were filled to over flowing. Mr. W. A. Harris, of Kansas, was sworn in as successor to Mr. Peffer. After appointment of a committee to notif y the Presidhut and the House that the Senate was ready to begin its da ties, a recess was taken until 2 p. m. Assistant Secretary Fruden announc ed and presented the message, which was read by the clerk, as follows: To the Congress of the United States: Regretting the necessity which ha required me to call jou together, I feel that your assembling in extraordinary session is indispeusible, because of the condition in which Ave lind the reve nues of the government. It is con ceded that its current expenditures are greater than its receipts, and that such a condition has existed for now more than four years. With unlimit ed means e-t our command, we are pre senting the remarkable spectacle of in creasing our public debt by borrowing money to meet the ordinary outlays in cident upon an economical and prudent administration of the government. An examination of the subject discloses this fact in every detail, and leads in evitably to the conclusion that the rev enue that allows it is unjustifiable and bhould be corrected. We r!n I by the reports of the Secre tary of hi Treasury that the revenues for the fiscal yeur ending J uue !i0. lS'Ji, from all sources were 5M'J.r),8tjf ,it(0.2, and the expenditures for all purposes were 8415, !5it.b0t. 50. leaving an excess of receipts over expendituresof 8!','J14, 45;'. til!. luring that fiscal year $40, -,71 . 407. li.S were paid ujion the public debt, which had been reduced from March 1, 1881', ..V.,J7",8'JO, and the annual inter est charges necreased $1 1,04,570.00. The receipts of the govermeiit from all sources during tho fiscal year ending June HO, is;, amounted to $4:11,710,501 and its expenditures to S45,.,S74,)?!!i7, showing an excess of receipts over ex penditures of ,841,074. Since that time the receipts of 110 fiscal year, and but w ith few exceptions of 110 more of any fiscal year, have exceeded the ex penditures. The receipts of the gov ernment from all sources, during the fiscal year ending June 80, 1H'J4, were S:j7i,Nii!,4'.)8 and its expenditures S44'.,0i5,75S, leaving a deficit, the first since -he resumption of specie pay ments, of ?!!, nic-j, '.'00. Notwithstand ing there was a decrease of $10,70!, l'JM, in the ordinary expenses of the govern ment as compared with the previous fiscal its income was still not sufficient to provide for its daily necessities and the gold reserve in the Treasury for the redemption of greenbacks was drawn upon to meet them. Rut this did not suffice, and the government then resorted to loans to replenish the reserve. ' In February, 1804, 50,000,000 m bonds were issued, and in Xovember following a second issue of 850,000,000 was deemed necessary. The sum of $117, 171,7'.t5 was realized by the sales of these bonds, but the reserve was stead ily decreased until, on 1'ebruary s, 1ND5, a third saleof $t;?,:iL5,4oo in bonds for $50, llti, 'J44 was announced to Con gress: The receipts of the government for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1W:)5, were $:J'.0,87:J,!0:J and the expenditures ?4:i:;,17M,4'2ii. showing a deficit of SI?, -305, -:. A further loan of $100,000,000 was negotiated by the government in February, 18W, the sale netting $111, 100,240 and swelling the aggregate of bonds issued w ithiu three years to $202,315,400. F'or the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1800, the revenues of the government from all sources amounted to $400,475,408, w hile its expenditures were $434,078,054. or an excess of ex penditures over receipts of $25,203,25. 1 11 othsr words, the total receipts for the three fiscal years ending June 30, lsDO, were insufficient by $137,811,721) to meet the total expenditures. Xor has this condition since im proved. For the first half of the preseut fiscal year, the receipts of the government, exclusive of postal reve nues were $157,507,008, nnd its ex penditures, exclusive of postal service, $ lit.", 4 10, 000, or au excess of expen ditures over receipts of $37,002, 300. In January of this year the re ceipts, exclusive of postal revenues, were $24, 3 10,'.)! 14 and the expenditures, exclusive of postal service, $30,2(Ji,3SJ a deficit of $5,502, 8! for the month. In February of this year the receipts, ex clusive of postal revenues, were $21. 4oo,ini7 aud the expenditures exclusive of postal service, $28,7!0,00H, a deficit of $4, 305, 050, or a total deficiency of $l.si;,0(i1,580 for the three years and eight mouths ending March 1st, 1:7. Notouly are we without a surplus in the Treasury, but w ith an increase in the public debt there has been a corres ponding increase in the annual interest charge from $22,S!I8,N3 in 1802, the lowest of any year since lst;2, to$34, 3S7.207 in 1800, or an increase of 11, 41(3,414. It may be urged that even if the revenue of the government ha been sufficient to meet all its ordinary expenses during the past three j-ears", the gold reserve would have still been insufficient to meet the demands upon it, but be that as it may it is clearly manifest, w ithout denying or confirm ing the ' correctness of such a conclu sion that the debt wculd have been decreased in at least the amount of the deficiency, and business confidence im measurably strengthened throughout the country. Congress should promptl y correct the existing conditions. Ample revenues must be supplied not only for the ordi nary expenses of the government, but for the prompt payment of liberal pen sions and the liquidation of the princi pal and interest of the public debt. In raising revenues, duties should be bo levied upon foreign products as to pre serve the home market; so as to protect our own producers; to revive and in crease manufactures; to relieve and en courage agricultnre; increase our do mestic and foreign commerce; to aid and develop mining and building, and to render to labor in every field of use ful occupation the liberal wages and adequate rewards to w hich skill and in dustry are justly entitled. The neces sity of a tariff law w hich shall provide ample revenue, need not be further urged. I he imperative demand of the hour is the promi t enactment of such a 11 e isui e and to this object I earnestly recommend that Congress shall make every endeavor. Pefore other business s transacted, let us first provide suffi cient revenue to faithfully administer :he government without the contracting jf further debt, or the continued dis :urbance of our finances. Signed Wm. McKixiey. President of the United States. The message occupied the undivided attention of the Senators and of the audience in the galleries, but no demon stration followed its conclusion.

Skating iu Old Rays. While skating ia now me of the most popular sports of the winter season, it is only comparatively a few years since it has boaeni3 so in this city. Yl12n the Central Park was beinqf contracted in 18'JO, and the small artificial l.ke at F'ifty-ninth street nearly 'oaipleted, the Park Commissioners announced that it would be thrown open for the use of skaters. A few men took advantage of the invitation, but women could not be induced to go on the ice. The skates then in use where of the most antique pattern, some of the runners extending a long way in front of the foot, ending in a ring like curl. In a crowd the skates were quite dangerous, and the first year skating was any thing but popular. During the next winter the larger lake at tne upper end of the Mall was in such condition that it could be used for skating. Here there was more room for the sport, but still the wo men could not bo induced to venture on the ice. A number of gentlemen determined to overcome this prcdjn dice and organized the Xew York Skating Club, having a regulation patterned skate, almost even with the Hole of the boot, which wai laced up tight to the ankle, whilo the objec tionable strap was done away with, the runner being fixed to the sole while in use by a ball and socket and held firmly with a clamp, Thesa be came popular that winter with the men, and a lighter kind was made for women. The prejudice, however, still existed among the latter, until the club invited a lady, who was a fine skater, from Portland, Me., to visit the Central Park and skate with the club. This lady wore a pretty and appropriate dress, similar to that worn in winter by women skaters in Europe, and she created such, a sen sation by her artistic skating as to at tract much notice. The result was that before the season ended several young ladies were induced by the club to venture on the ice, and the season of 1802-3 found many, with pretty costumes, enjoying the 6port. A series of carnivals were arranged by the club during the following sea son, and skating in the evening be came one of the fashionable winter amusements. Xew York Mail and Ex press. California Woodpiles. Grease wood roots are of all sizes, and of all shades of rich, deep browa. More like tubers than roots, they seem globules of hard, resinous wooi. From each bulb protrudes, as if it were an afterthought of nature, a slender stem, the base of the ever green fchrab, which makes a good handle for lifting the main balk. These grease wood roots are a study. I remember the first pile of them which I saw in a neighbor's yard, writes Elizabeth Grinnell, ol Califor nia. They were etacked with great care in a round, even pyramid. I thought the rustic mound a novel at tempt at open-air decoration, and wondered that it was not in the front yard instead of at the back door. "Why don't you have it varnished?" I said. "Varnished?" and my neighbor laughed. "That's oar stove wood." Wo have oak roots, also, dug like the grease wood, but they are harder and less resinou?. More costly, too, by half. Another unique woodpile in this disirict is ono of grapevines. Many of the old mission vineyards have died; the vines, prancd back from year to year, are like tree trunks. Jt seeais a pity to burn them, bat we lose all sentiment when comes a rain storm in Jannary, nnd we welcome anything that will warm us. Perhaps the most peculiar woodpiles which wo see about us are the peach and ap ricot stones of the canneries. During the fruit-preserving season the pits are heaped together, ton3 upon tons, where they dry until needed for win ter fuel. They are as gool as coal, nnd lie, like corn when the blaze is out, glowing, red, perfect shapes. The peach btones are dimpled, whilo the apricot pits are 6tnooth. Ameri can Agriculturist.

To make churning easy an Illinois genius attaches two bellows to a rocking chair connected with the churn mechanism by tubes, the mo tion of the rocking back and forth "bringing the butter." A Fatal Whirlwind. A whirlwind visited the town of Mingo Junction, O., Saturday night, doing considerable damage and at tended with fatal results. The wind lifted up the iron roof of the cast house, which collapsed, the tall brick walls, which were held by log chains, falling iu. Frank Hobsoii and Earry Fahey were cauuht under the falling walls. A force of men was put to work to rescue them ami Fahey was taken out dead. Frank Hobson, a'ged 20 and single, was so seiionsly crushed that he died three hours afterward. John Weikas, a Hungarian, was struck by falling tim bers and bricks and badly crushed. 1)11 THE LINE ON CHINKS.

The CnriatUa should be a Chris tian In both walk and talk. Cheerful giving always makes the giver rich. Unless the heart first gives, what the band bestows Is not a gift. God's grace is ass much beyond our needs as the air we breathe. Don't try to be an assistant book keeper to the recording angel. The revival must begin in the end of the church that contains the pulpit. In wishing for his neighbor's posses sion!, the covetous man loses his own. When we are doing our prayerful best let us remember that it Is all God ex pects. It Is only by giving with the heart that any man can know what it means to lie rich. Strength is not a blessing when it Is used to take advantage of a brother's weakness. There is nothing like the word of God for changing a dark prospect into a bright one. If we do not make a good use of what xve have, it is a proof that we have been given too much. The artist gets a glimpse of heaven in the meadow, where the farmer sees only so much hay. It will do no good to ask God to 6end fire, unless the broken down altar has first bees built up. It is blessed to have God's mark upon us, even though it may be made with the point of a thorn. Christ came to show the world God In the flesh, and had to go to the cross to complete the work. One way to avoid having stereotype prayers is to make a new one whenever xve have a new need. Paul didn't say that he could do all things through Christ, until after he had the thorn in his flesh. KEY. 1R. JONATHAN WHITELf S WIDOW STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS. But She Has Been Cured- Lxnp May She Live and Loni Live the Krtnedy to Which She Owes Her Life. From the Oazette, ifeadnille. Pa. The following iuteregtius: interviews con cerning the efficacy of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, have lately been re ceived at the office of this newspaper: The fl rst embod ies a con versat ion wit b Mrs. M. A. Wuitely, the widow of the late Rev. Jonathan Whiiely. D. P., an eminent iiv ne of the Methodist jenomiuation. Mrs. Whltely spoke us follows: "I consider it my duty to tell for publica tion the immense benefit 1 have derived from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Three years ago 1 xvasftrieken by paralysis, aud lay helpless for months. I was at last advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which after many mis givings I concluded to do, as I had lost faith in all medicines. The first box helped me much, and the continual use of the pills has worked and is working wonders. To-day I ha va driven twelve miles wit bout fatigue. 1 cannot say too much in praise of Dr. Will iams' Tink Pills for tnoy have done me a world of good." Mr. John W. Beatty, who is a contractor and builder of Meadville, of the highest re spectability, says: "Although I have passed the meridian ol life, I am jilad to be able to say that I have but liltle or no use for medicine of any kind. Uut my wife is not so fortunate. During the last few years she has been a sufferer 'roin dropsy and disease of the heart, and at times sutTered Kreatlv. A few months ago she be hhu taking Dr." Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and hai been greatly benefited by their use. She experienced a numbnet-s anil coldness in her limbs nnd at times coul'i scarcely walk by reason of poor circulation oftheblood. All these nnplensant symptoms have disappeared and I confidently hope to see hern well woman ere long. 1 will ol.-o take the liberty to speak for a brother-in-law of mine, O. W. Myer, who resides at Shenk leyvilie, Mercer County, Pa. 80 great was his affliction by reason of erysipeias in the face and n general breaking down ot the tys toin that last winter he was Kiven up to die. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People have made him a new man and be is as one res cued from the vpry jaws of death." Mr. Prentice Fry, of Meadville, testifies a follows: "My wife and daughter have been failing in health for some time and the treatment of physicians in their cases have been fruit less. So much has been said of Dr. Williams' Pink Tills for Pule People that I resolved to try them, and myself and family will always be glad that Prox'idence threw such a medi cine in our way. The pale faces and wasteJ cheeks of my wife and daughter have disap peared, aud the ruddy glow of health has re appeared. Pen cannot record my feelings iu the matter, and ali i can say is that I trust all whonie bowed down by the heavy band of physical infirmity will learn that there is a remedy that cares and place suffering humanity where they ran enjoy this earthly existence. Ood bless the maker of Dr. Will iams' Pink Pills for Pale People."

When you think of it how contradic tory that term is. For there can be oly one best in anything one best sarsaparilla, as there is one highest mountain, one longest rix'er.one deepest ocean. And that best sarsaparilla is ? .... There's the rub! You can measu-- mountain height and ocean depth, but how test sarsaparilla? You could if you were chemist-:. But then do you need to test it? The World's Fair Committee tested it, and thoroughly. They xvent behind the label on the bottle. What did this sarsaparilla test result in ? Fvery make of sarsaparilla shut out cf the Fair, except Ayer's. So it was that Ayer's was the only sarsaparilla admitted to the World's Fair. The committee found it the best. They had no room for anything that was not the best. And as the best, Ayer's Sarsa parilla received the medal and awards due its merits. Remember the word "best" is a bubble any breath can blow; but there are pins to prick such bubbles. Those others are bloxving more " best sarsaparilla n bubbles since the World's Fair pricked the old ones. True, but Ayer's Sarsaparilla has the medal. The pin that scratches the medal prox-es it gold. The pin that prick the bubble proves it wind. We point to medals, not LubUes, when we Bay: xne Dest sarsaparma is .Aver s.
