Last week it was said some one had died leaving a legacy of 911,000,000 worth of proporty to the United State subject to certain claims. Subsequently the report was denied by tho Treasury Officers. Now it Is ascertained such a will oxisti, but the testator has not yet died, and hat power and richt to chance his will. So the United States will have to pay its own debts for a while, kecplnr on good beha viour in hope of Wing remembered in the rich man's last will, at last.

THE INUN0ATEO CITY. THOLBAMOai or FAMILIES! IIO.U- W I1W 1 A Million Dsllar'a WorlU of Froaerljr Deatroyed. VI Prom the Louisville Courier-Journal, June 8, The details of the inundation ol the city of Now Orleans', ar givoa In our, ex changes', are mournful, in the cxtfemc. Mora than oco-balf tho cityi s undbr wat er, and a nw break tn the canals, or an unfavorable wind might still further in crease tho damage Tho waters of Lako Ponchartraln, swollen to tho Immense torrent pouring in from tho Mlsslsilphl by the Bonnet Carro crevasse, and raised still further by an east wind blowing fiercely from tho gulf, appear to have broken through thu banks of the canal. Tho New Orleans 1'ieeyunt ssys: "Tho water now floods Canal street to Dry a del street) and on Common street the waters extends to lUinpart. In tho nnclo of the citv formed by tho Old Basin, Claiborno street, and Vlv.lu.i VI.1I- .1..1 a s i it.iA' Mtj.iat, ,nu. .miu in uui ,lttlC water; only such, indeed, us arise from overflowed aewers. But between Ulysiun Fields street and Lafayetto nvtnue, , and far beyond Florida Walk, tho flood ex tends uninterruptedly to a vast lako a miniature sn. Nor does It stop here: but covers all tbc vast area below Canal, St., from Bayou St. John to Jourdan avenue, and from'Eagan avenue; up Pdydras, to Rampart street. Nearly every homestead in this wioe extent is surrounded! by water."- Thoutanrk of families are shelterless and without food, and their privations. anu .sunerugs must continue to increase. Tho city authorities aro showing torn mendable a;tivity in taking measures to relieve the distress, and citizens respond heartily to too appeals ror aid. On Mon day morning the. distribution of cooked provisions to tno needy ocean at tho Ulair borno market, and those who were unable to coma vr.re notified that any signal of distress would be heeded by the police;1 The Commercial Jlulletin urges upon.' all to pass this itformation from moutti to mouth as mo tniy wav uy wnicn u coutu reach tho poor Ot course seMshnu.4i) nud villainy seize upon such tines of excitement to prey upon tho defeisclcss. The most extort ionate charges aro mado by tho boatmen for removing persons and property, nnd open robtenes abound in tho flooded dis tricts. Tic pollco detected four miscre ants in tie act of cutting the lerco' on Clairboree canal in tho rear of "Poland street, but unfortunately tho escaped, uf ter having cut tho canal in flvo places. A crenoral meetintr of citizens was hold on Sunday, and C. Oovoroc, Prosldent of the bank of-New Orleans, A. Fortier, President of the bank of America, and II. Slocum, Esq., were appointod to re ceive subscriptions. Tho Young Men's Christian Association, tho clcrirv of tho I city and tho various cnaritablo organUa-..i tions nre an doing tneir utmost to ancviaio the unfortunates. Though our latest telegraph dispatches report the flood as abating, the danger is by no means over. There is a flood in .tho Missouri, and lha upper Mississippi is rap idly rising. The damage to property in tho citv can hardly fall short of a million. of dollars and, if tho many reports as to the gross carelessness nI incom Tjetencv of those in charge of the levees Upon which tho safety of the city depends are true, there is a fearful record 1 of loss and Buffering for which tBoy arc responsible , Tlio flood of 1869 was, ajwarning1 to.fhe .Department of Improve ments; andtlough tho prosont overflow was six incVes higher than the point reacho-i by the waters then, it was not bo yond human foresight and skill to havo providedfjagainst this disaster and pro vchtod it.' Tie river Is ever at their dotjrs, and n watchful oversight over tho whole levee system should bo constantly main. talnod. Jt' is asserted, wo know not with how much trutb, that tho crovasse at Bonnet Carro, probably tho ultimatocauso of the destructive) flood at Now Orleans, owed its origin to a contomptlblo quarrol as to whoso business it was to close a road, mado through tho leveo fur local purpotss whothor tto entire neighborhood should repair tho brooch, oi tho person who had ...1.1 .

Around his old homo ho wus somebody's son ; in his now homo ho was somebody cIjo' apprentice. Around his homo the doors of respectability were opened to somebody's son ; In his new . ., , f . 1 ! . . . Homo tno uoors oi rcspeuiaunuy wuro closed tightly against somebody's nppren- I tlce. 'ibis was u now order ot tilings, anu surprised him vory much at first yet, when ho reflected cooly, ho did not much blamo respectability for its sclf-preserva-vlon. There aro doors that open easily to every comer. Thcso ho shunned. Thoro are apprentices In every village that will bear shunning ho did it. Tho important question was, ""What should ho do?'' After discussing this, amid the din nnd dirt, ho said to himself, "Well, if I can't go whero I ought, I will not go at uli." Easy to say bard to do ; because ho was just like you ho liked fun as well as you do, and u nioco of mischoif too. Ho must do something. In self-defenco ho bocan to read. Tho old svstem of apprenticeship in tho country used to rcauiro tho boys and journeymen to work nntil 8 o'clock in tho evening in tno wintor timo, anu auer wus was dono it was common to loaf iiboui tho oorners, stores and tnverns until 'J, 10 or 11 o'clock.

For ono of his ago It Is a mar vol to see him circulate ovor thousands of miles nono tho worjo for tho fatigues of tho journoy. If tho purchase of Alaska had not in ado the Irrcprcsslblo Sowanl immortal, his grand tour Je monde. would havo done It. Wo havo followed hit progress through tho far F.ast with a stirpri'o nkin to ad miration. "Wo found him in China hob nobbing with tho Son of tho Moon and many minor constellations.

"Wo publish to-dnv an interesting letter from Bombay, announc ing Mr. Seward's arrival and his reception by tho Govcrnor-Gcnoral of India. The Bioulla Club in Bombay gavo a grand din ner in commomoration of his visit, and tho banquet is described as a vory brilliant af fair. "Well might tho chnlrman of tho oc casion say, as ho did, that a septuagenarian making tno tour of Asia was a raro phe nomenon. Tho rcsponso of Mr. Soward was in his usual vein that is to say, a very sensible ono.

Sho stitched her namo inside tho lining of a hat beneath the statement : " I am thlno j wilt thou bo mine?'' and sent it adrift. After various vicissitudes it was purchased by a gentle man, and took a position on his head, Ono day the lining became loose, and in en deavoring to i'inton it his eyes rested upon tho sentiment and namo, and., ho involun tarily exclaimed, 'D n fool.' "When Martha returned to her homo that day she was taken to a retired part of tho cottage and warmed with a strap. Tho gentle man who got tho hat was her father." Sodn Water. Now that thu soda water season Is fully upon us, a low observations as to tno make up ot this popular bioou-coonng uovorago will bo in order. Every popular fruit lias Its representa tive syrup, tho customer paying his money anu taKitig ins cuoicu. x no raen timt tuuo syrups nro tho puro extract of tho fruit is n popular delusion. Butyric ether is tho huso of nil fruit nyrups. Butyric ether is mado sometimes of rancid butter, though old rotten chceso is gonorally profcrrcd, tbo loudest varioty of Llmburgcr affording tho best quality of other. Tho checso is treated with sluphu rle acid, and if a particularly nlco and finely flavored ether is desired, a few chips of old leather Is added. Any sort of leather will do, but old boot3 and shoes are preferred, btrnw berry syrup ts mado of VJ parts of butyric ether nnd ono part of acotic ether diluted with alcohol and wator. A pint of real strawborry syrup added to tho gallon of mixturo will im prove tho syrup, but Is not absolutely ncessary; color witu cocnincai. Raspberry syrup is mado after tho namo formula, oxuopt that a pint of real rusn- borry syrup is nddod, if tho chomist has It. If not, ho takes n Jar of his strawber ry smn. colors n littlo darker and chnmrea tho lablc. Sarsiiparllln is tho simplest and nastiest of tho syrup. .Molasses is its base, with a utile essence ot sassairas nnd wintcrgrcen added. A few roots of sarsaparillu "tilled" in tho mixturo will do no harm and no good. Vanilla syrup is mado of tonqua beans and fresh bay. Pineapple syrup is mado of butyric and formic cthor. Formic other was formerly mado by tho action of Bulphurlc acid on red ants, but latterly it is mado of glycor ino and soap. Peach syrup Is mado of bitter nlmonds and acotic other. Twenty drops of oil of bittrrnimonds will Kill a man. Nectar is formed bvmixinc various svr tips and adding a littlo Madeira wine tho wino being compounded of neutral spirit, logwood, sugar and raisins. Lemon syrup is tho purest that can bo obtained. It is mado of citrio acid and sugar, with perhaps a few lemon peels. mo citric nciu is iiiituo oi lemons.
