The presence of n destructive Hood is felt liere very per ceptibly today. While estimates here tofore limited the flood to sixty feet, de velopments today make it appear that figure will be exceeded. Incoming pase engcis on the roads that use the Grand Central depot were compelled to debark nt Eight-street transfer depot. Up Mill Creek valley one of the sad dest ulghta is tno utter destruction of vast areas of hotbeds, where innumer able vegetable gardeners earn a living. Every foot of the rise from now on adds vastly to the discomfort and loss that must ensue to families driven to the up per stories or out of their homes. Wnters are Itecerilng FiTTsnuno, Feb. 24. The great flood has done its worst, and the waters are uow recoiling. A cold wave broke the back of the flood. Reports from all points between Pittsburg and the head waters indicate ttie danger passed. The river in this vicinity reached a high er stage than at any time since 1S84. The Monongahela registered 29 feet C in ches, and the Allegheny ."0 feet 9 inches. At 10 o'clock this morning the water had fallen a foot since midnight. Haidly a point on the Monongahela river from Fairmount to Pittsburg escaped damage. Mills built supposed ly out of harm's way were submerged. The damage is not less thau $1,500,000 in the Monongahela valley. From the head waters of the Youghog heny also came a torrent that brought destruction to valuable property. The railroads were unable to move trains. Trolley lines were badly wrecked. Beneath several feet of debris there are millions of dollars worth of valuable machinery. Poor people who live in small houses along the banks have been made utterly homeless. In McKeesport the damage will ex ceed $500,000. In tliis city the water covered Duquesne way trom Ninth street to the Point. On the North Side (Alle gheny) over 3000 people were cooped up in the second story of their homes, all night prisoners, tho only means of escape being by boat. Many Allegheny manufacturing concerns were rendered idle. Deafness C.-inuoc lie Cured !by local applications, as they cannot Teach the diseased portion of the ear. 'There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless tho inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine eas;s out of ten are caused by catarrii, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous sur faces. Wo will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused ly catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hull's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free. T. J.

Washington-, Feb. 24 Senator But ler, from the committee on postoflices and postroads, today made a minority report, proposing a substitute for the Loud secund-chua matter bill. The sub stitute provides for tho purchase of rail road cars for transportation of maile, de claring it to be the policy of tho United States to carry mail in cars belonging to tho government, and pay tho railroads mileage rates for hauling them. Sena tor Butler gas in his reuort that to make the changes provided for in the Loud bill would be to leap into the dark, and the adoption of his substitute would cover all tho evils complained of. A few months ago, Mr. Byron Every, of Woodstoo'', Mich., wus badly afflicted with rheumatism. His right leg was swollen tho full length, causing him great suffering. Ho was udvised to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. The first bottle of it helped him considerably and the second bottle effected a cure. TIib 25 and 50 cent sizes are for ealo by Bhikeluy & Houghton.

A wild boar hunt was the exciting sport a number of the young men of South Jacksonville had looked forward to last week with a great deal of pleas ure. The wild boar was a razorback hog. He was installed in a ncn und fed red pepper, gunpowder and dynamite, and became as fierce as his reputed cousin of the Black Forest. On the day of the hunt a cavalcade as sembled at the meeting place armed with javelins and spears made of bam boo, with hunting knives tied to the end. The wild boar was liberated and trotted away into tho woods. He squealed a half contented, inquisitive, where's-the-rest-ot-my-family sort of a squeal, with no thought of the pur suers, who spurred and whipped their horses into furious pursuit. The wild boar trotted along just simply and cooly trotted. He didn't look as if he were going, but ttie gait soon distanced his pursuers, and they were thus robbed of the pleasure of "jibbing" him fnll of holes. Florida Times-Uuion. A Cure for l.amc ISuclt. "My daughter, when recovering from an attack of fever, was a great sufl'erer from pain in the back and hips," writes Louden Grover, of Sardis, Ky. "After using quite a number of remedies with out any benefit she tried one bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and it has given entire relief."

"There is nothing," v are told, "that n.-tonishes the stranger visiting Aub stralia for the first time vo much ns the nriety ami beaut of its Mowers." Au stralia is, indeed, n, land of floral loveli ness, and nowhere has nature lieen mom lavish in her gifts of bud and blossom than, in New South Wales. The landscape is an endless ponorania of surpassing beauty. There is a plethora of color in the flowers that everywhere meet the gaze They tire not placed here and there only, to give one the impression of limit; they cover mountains and vsillcys in all kinds of forms and shades .ii' beauty. Climbers, in rich crimson and inter spersed with every color.aro multiplied by millions and scattered with n prodi gal h.'iud that knows no Htintnorboimd, saw that Of infinitude iUelf, until every shrub and plant und bush, rolled in splendor, makes the. country gay with blue and gold und many colored dyes. The gor.geous coloring of the Austra lian floral kingdom is hurdly to be ex celled anywhere. Among the favorite i:itive flowers Js tho stately warafah, or native, tulip, as it is fcometlimw in correctly designed. It grows to the height of four or five feot, the slender stem being surmounted by. a. largo dahlia-shaped flower of the deepest crimson. It "is sometimes grown as a arden flower, but thrives iK-st in the .Utah. The native rose, which has no csemblance. save in its delicate pin); tint to tho favorite garden (lower, is ex ceedingly plcnti'ul. The blossom is small and modest, but wonderfully en during and forms u charming addition to an Austr.ilinni bouquet. Tim rock Illy, of which n beautiful specimen, imbedded in ice, was latelv sent to thu queen, is so called from its being most abundant in rocky country, where its masses of yellowish-white blossoms stand out in picturesque re lief from the dense background of dork green foliage, The. gigantic Illy is, )er haps, tho most magnificent of Austra lian native flowers.
