AND THE MACHINE SHOPS
The Queen City in Darkness!
The heavy rains, .commencing
on Sunday night aud continuing
with slight intervals until Wed
neoday noon, as we write, and
how much linger we cannot say,
is causing the most disasterous
flood ever known in the Hocking
Valley. The alternating snows,
rains and freezes of January
were in solid masses of ice vay
ing in deth from one inch to
three feet in the valley. This,
with the warm and heavy rains,
all went into the river, which
rapidly covered the low lands,
flooding the Gas Werks and ten
ement houses, and causing the
inmates to seek other quarters.
Our citizens, on Wednesday
morning, seeing the danger, ad
vised the families in the neigh
borhood of the Gas Works, to va
cate ttieir premises, and aided in
removing their household goods.
They were hot hasty in their ad
vice, for within an hour, the wa
ter was running through the
front doors and rapidly, reaching
the sills of the lower windows .
This was also the case of the fam
ilies residing along the canal in
Furnacetown and Bragtown. We
can not at t''is writing particu
larize, or give an approximate of
the immense damage now going
on in our locality, o casioned b'
the flood.
Froni dispatches, we learn that
all the towns and vilages along
the line of the Hocking Val
ley Road are b -ing crowded
within the limits of safety, and
the waters still rising. At this
writing, (Wednesday noon,) the
skies are still darkened and a
smart rain. falling.
Ihe track on the Hocking
Valley Railroad, at this place, is
covered with threo feet of water,
aud all railroad business is at a
stand still. We are without news
from any point, and it may be
days before we are placed in
communication with the outer
world.
The Gas Company worked no
bly all morning, with a large
force of hands, to prevent the
works from being deluged; but
the rain descended and the flood
increased until the buildings
were surrounded,when it became
necessary for the management
to open the pipes, permit the.
gas to escape, and shut down the
works until the flood subsided.
Hence our town, like many oth
ers, is in darkness.
The 'great flood of 1873, done
immense damage; but it is scarce
ly a circumstance to the flood of
to-day. Our Railroad and Canal
is wrecked; stock drowned,
bridges, roads, houses, fences,
and farm products swept away;
Our calamity is great, and the
end is not fet.
THURSDAY MORNING.
The rain continued falling' all
afternoon of yesterday and du
ring the night. The river took
another rise in theafternoon,and
at about 6 o'clock the splendid
and costly bridge of the Hocking
Valley Railroad, whioh spans the
river at this place, toppled over ;'
also the south walls of the rail
road machine Ehops.
The destruction to the railroad
at this point is very great, and it
will be weeks before the damage
can be repaired. It is rumored,
th'at many v of the railroad and
county bridges between Logan
and Sugar Grove have been
swept away, but this will not be
definitely known until telegraph
communication is again estab
lished between these points.
The winds have changed to
the westward, and the weather
this morning is somewhat cooler,
and there is a prospect that the
rain has ceased.
Next week we will give our
readers full accounts of the great
destruction of property in our
county.
Thore has been no loss of life
in this neighborhood reported.

. r Yankee Wit.
Many years ago a Pittsburg iron firm
purchased a lot uf condemned bomb
shells for old iron. The shells were not
loaded, but in order to melt them it was
necessary that they should bo broken
up. This was attempted with sledge
hammers, but the laborers made but
little progress and it was finally given
up as a bad job. One day a long, slim
Yankee came along and said:
I understand you have a job for .a
man nere. ... j .
"Yes," was the reply; "we want that
pile of bombs out there broken."
"How much will you pay?"
"We will give you a up apiece (six
and a quarter cents) if you will agreo
to break them all."
"I'll take the contract," answered
the Yankee. Tho day ivas a cold one.
and the thermometer down to zero.
The man immediately went to work,
but disdained to take the large sledge
hammer which was offered him. The
Yankee laid every bomb out on the
ground with the hole up. He procured
a bucket, filled them all with water;
then he came into the house, made out
his bill, and said ho would call around
in the morning for the money. Every
one was much mystified, but in the
morning their astonishment was great.
The water had frozen during the night,,
and in the morning a pile of scrap iron
was found, as the freezing water had
broken every bomb into at least a dozen
pieces.
m m
American Booms.
The correspondent of the London
Times with the Hutch party wrote that
journal from Minneapolis' as follows':'
"Boom" is one of the most expressive
words of recent American coinage, and
the significant meaning seems to be
finding its way across the Atlantic
Originated to signify the outward and
public results of the secret wire-pulling
resorted to for the advancement of the
fortunes of the wily politician, the word
has passed into general use as a term
designating the efforts made to push
into notoriety anything or anybody
needing it. Thus there has been in
American politics the "Grant boom;"
there has also been and will probably
continue perennially a loualy-sounded
and far-reaching "Chicago boom," in
dustriously expanded by its vigorous
citizens; and there has recently arisen,
and is growing to steadily larger pro-,
portions, an untiring "boom of the new,
northwest," which the world will hear
much of in the future. The prodigious
energy and fever heat with which the
development of the far northwest is bcr
ing pushed since the Northern Pacifie
railway has been constructed to open
it to settlement, is somctumg amazing
to the eyes of slower going people from
the seab'oard or from Europe. Of much
of this I have already writton in chron
icling the progress of this tour to the
Yellowstone national park; But starting
on the return journey and going back
f ?m the outposts of civilization through
tlj new frontier towns, within a few
days after having first visited them on
the outward trip, has shown actual and
tangible evidences of their rapid
growth. Two classes of settlers go
to the frontier, and start the new set
tlement, the hard-headed pioneers
measuring them by the "go-ahead"
proclivities they develop. When the
white man first arrives, and shows re
servo and caution, he is known as a
"tenderfoot" carefully feeling his way.
When he "learns the ropes," shows a
reckless and daring spirit", and begins
to "catch on" to the infectious and
restless spirit of the "boom" that is all
around him,, he becomes in border
phrase, a "rustler." He rushes in to
get the prizes, starts new town sites,
"perjs up" the quotations of eligible
corner lots on the prairie, and bubbles
over with sonorous adjectives in his de
scriptions of the new settlement's
achievements, merits and prospects.
The return journey after ten days spent
in the park, demonstrated that the
"rustler" w:is out in force, all along
the Northern Pacific line, and had not
been talking only, but was at work. In
Livingston, just at the entranco of the
pass leading to the park, an entire new
street of good wooden houses not very
large or pretentious had been built,
and. sonic were already occupied, all
done since we Were thore, beside start
ing a new "national bank." Miles City
and several other plans displayed new
hotels and "saloon-;" Steele had sev
eral new houses, and similar reports
were made from Pvramid Park, San
born, Jamestown, Glendive, Fargo, and
other towns. Hillings was endeavor
ing to dot down some more buildings
on its widely expanded town site.
Glendive, you will be glad to hear, has
done the handsome thing by starting
the Times as the daily newspaper that
is to take care of its "boom. "The
Times Office," in large letters, adorns
the front of a HttCs cubical-shaped,
white-painted wooden house, measur
ing about fifteen feet each way, from
Nvhich this email, but very energetic
newspaper is issued every morning.
The editor varies the monotony of leader-writing
by conducting a lively and,
I hope, profitable tralitin town lots.
Mandan, since our rorent visit, added
a large new hotel and suvaral substan
tial dwellings to its domain. Bi-marck,
which is always dLspln; tug prodigious
energy, bc-idc many m-w houses, had
also .started a second newspaper, find
ing one sheet entirely inadequate to
looking after all its interests. Thus is
the now northwest "booming" two
thousand miles and more beyond New
Yoik, while every arriving train brings
more settlers to seek their fortunes in
tho land that ten years ago knew few
inhabitants other than soldiers and
Sioux. As Whitticr ha3 significantly

The Princess Louise as a Housewife.
Her Royal Highness is extremeh'forid
of sun, and the early morning visitor is
welcomed by flinging back the curtains
"the first thing of the day." Every mom
ing before breakfast the Princess takes
a walk of three miles overthe estate of
the Government Houso and the road be
yond, walking briskly over the snow in.
winter, aided by a cane and accom
panied by a favorite dog. She is more
fond of sketching and painting than
other accomplishments, but she is what
the Germans call a notable housewife,
and goes into the kitchen every morn
ing to give orders for the day. The
Canadian servants did not at all like
this, and rebelled, so her ladj'ship got
out servants from "home" who were
more used to the expressions of supreme
wills. Like many energetic people, the
Princess is hot-tempered, and the ser
vants were disposed to think her as
peremptory as the Queen in the story
of "Alice in Wonderland," who ordered
"heads off" at every moment. She
sets an examnle of industry, and cer-
tajnjy considers life quite worth living,
as she sets apart for her work or recrea
tion specified regular hours. She has
music playing in some part of the house
nearly all the time, though the early
morning strains are those most grate
ful to ner husband's Scotch ear the
bagpipo. Lord Lome has his own fav
orite piper with him. The" Princess is
a good cook, and takes pride fn this ac
complishment. At her dinner en fqmille
some one pretty dish is sure to have
been cooked under her own supervision
or prepared by her own hands. Some
time ago a young mother and her babe,
who were visiting: the Princess, were

the food and carried it with her own
hands to the sick visitors. She made
the bed, smoothed the pillows, read
and talked to the patients, and nursed
tho mother back to life, though the lit
tle one died and was buried in tho cemetery-
near the hall. t--.l "

FOR RESTORING CRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
It is a most agreeable dresslqgirlilcK
Is at once harmless and effectual, for pre
serving the hair. It restores, with the
gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray;
light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep
black-, as may be desired. By its use thia
hair is thickened, and baldnes sftem
though not always cured. It checks falling
ofthe,hair immediately, and causes a new
growth in all cases where the glands art
not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The Viooit cleanses the scalp, caret sal
prevents the formation of dandruff; and,"
by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing
properties, it heals most if not all of ta
humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases of the scalp sal
hair are impossible.
As a Dressing for Ladies' Hsir
The ViaoR is incomparable. It is coktv
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will
not soil white cambric. It imparts ail
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as am
article for the toilet it is economical a4
unsurpassed In its excellence.

. This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
yegetable alteratives StiliiogiaMan
drake,YellowDock withthe Iodides
of Potassium and .Iron, and is tho
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended lo cure.
Its ingredients are to skilfully
combined hat the full alterative
effect of cacli is assured, nnd while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still so' effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys in. derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent physicians all oven
the country repose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, .and are . con
stantly being received, and as many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of,
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla
over every other alterative medicine.
Sd generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than to assure the public,
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
