The Szegedln Disaster
LONDON, March 12.—Forwell-nigh a week,
Szegedin.the second commercial town in Hun-
gary has-been in imminent danger of inun-
dation from the River Theiss, which passes
through the town. Notwithstanding that
every effort was made to save the city, the
last dam was swept away at 3 o’clock this
morning. The latest telegrams announce
that the flood, with terrific roar, is rushing
from two sides over'SZegedin. The horrors
of the situationbaflie all. description. ’ The
'town is, in fact, destroyed.‘ Two thirds of it
are now submerged, Whole rows of houses
are falling. The Orphanage and Synagogue
are destroyed. All the inmates of the for.
mer were buried in the ruins. Two manu-
factories are on fire. The inhabitants are
flying to New Szegedin. So far thirty~four
corpses have been found. The dams are
being cut in several places to allow the water
to run off. A hundred square miles in the
neighborhood of Szege‘din are flooded. The
crops in this district are lost. At7 O’clock
this evening the water had risen in the town
five feet. Sixty thousand persons are with-
out a roof to cOver them. It is feared the
loss of life has'been very great. The upper‘
floors of all the high houses are crbwded
with people in momentary fear of death.
It is thought a few houses, which are built
of stone may stand. There was a false alarm
at 9 o'clock on Tuesday evening raised by
some workmen on the embankment, who
wished to desert. Toward midnight, the
workmen, in consequence of the increase of
the gale, were continually overtaken by the
waves.‘ They were only kept to their posts
by a cordon of Soldiers. The water repeat-
edly pierced the embankment, at single
points. About 1:30 o‘clock Wednesday
morning the embankment was found to be
yielding. The General in command then
ordered the abandonment of the works. The
irruptiou of the water came at last so sud.
denly that the workmen barely had time to
reach town. An ample provision of boats
- had been made throughout the town, but it
is feared that such an inundation, happening
in the depth of night, cannot but have
drowned many persons. .
Szegcdin had a population of about 80,000.
It was built in a marsh, on both sides of the
River Theiss, and divided in a central town
or Palanka, in which the residences of the
merchants were grouped around an old square
Turkish’fortress, an upper and a lower town,
and New Szegcdin, on the east bank of ~ the
Theiss, which was reached by a bridge of
boats. The city, had a great market place,
numerous‘churches, convents and hospitals
andsMa'gyar theatre. Its trade was very
large, and it had many foetories. Some years
ago the Government received proposals from
an English engineer to furnish a remedy for
the inundation which the Theiss has threat-
ened each Spring, but the .expense of
the construction of the series of canals
which be deemed essential to his scheme was
considered too great. Had it been accepted
the terrible disaster now reported might
never have occurred. ‘ The Theiss is invari-
ably swollen‘ at‘the time of the year when
the ice begins to melt, and it has long been
looked upon as liable to cause great destruc—
tion to property, although the possibility of
luch'a catastrOphe as that which has sub-
mergedsnentire city could scarcely have
been contemplated at the moment the Eng-
lishengincer's scheme was discarded. Re—
liancehad been plaCed upon several large
dykel which protected the back of the town,
but these gradually succumbed to the force
of the water, and the inhabitants perceived
thattheir only safety lay in strengthening
the embankment of the Alfold Railway.
Desperate efforts were made throughout
Tuesday night,but early Wednesday morning
a gale arose, and, aided by this, the water
broke through. Many persons had remaind
up throughout the might, anticipating some
such danger, and these fled at once Others,
aroused by the roar or the great body of
water, sprang from their beds and hurrying
on some clothing, sought refuge on the house
tops. At'daybreakthe town was many feet
deep in water. Here and there a house, less
substantial than its‘neighbors, tottered and
fellwith a crash, and it frequently happened
that at the moment a boat was nearing a
window from which half distracted people
were appealing for aid, the whole edifice
would succumb to the torrent,amid the pitc—
ous shrieks of the inmates. Such of the in-
habitants as were so fortunate as to be able
to do so fled to New Szegedin and more
elevated parts of the town, hurriedly cross-
ing the bridge of boats which separates the
new city from the old. As the day wore on
whole rows of houses fell, and the flood
gained such headway that it submerged full
two-thirds of the town.

'Four thousand miles from New York. I“
were a Gothamite to stroll through these
streets after nightfall, :the whistle of the
small boy exultant over his recently acquired
“Grandfather’s Clock,” or the strains of a
Strauss Waltz fl ting through some halfa
opened window,- ht easily lead him to
imagine the distance less than forty. Should
he take the same path in broad day,he would
note the familiar'E'astern sort of look of the
dwellings, and could not but be astonished at
the number -of faces recognized in 86380118
pastas belonging to Broadway or Fifth Ave-
nue. This localitv is the center of semi-tropi-
cal productions in the Golden State. From
Colton on the line of the Southern Pacific
Railroad, seven miles from town,the distance
by rail to San Francisco is 538 miles, The
first house was erected seven years ago ; now
the colony beasts a population of some 1,800.
Nearly every male inhabitant is owner,in part
oriu whole, of a fruit rauch,varying in extent
from two and a half to sixty acres, from the
profits of which. he hopes to be enabled, in a
few short years, to casgside forever the hoc
and the plow, and to a ume the pleasanfer
role of capitalist. The orange is the King
favorite, and of this alone there are now esti-
mated to be no less than 400,000 young trees
set out in orchard form. Next in point of
favor to the orange comes the lemon; afte!
that~the lime and olive and various deciduous
varieties. A deciduous orchard will probably
contain a few trees of each,the apricot,applc,
almond, nectariue, peach, pear, plum, prune,
pomegranate, persimmon, and walnut. Most
of these trees are, in this valley, wonderfully
abundant bearers of largecsized and full-flu-
vored fruits. Our attention was recently
called to two seven-year-old apricot trees that
last Summer, between them, yielded a ton of
delicious “Moor-parks.” In addition to the
orchards there have been planted numerous
vineyards of the "‘White Muscat of Alexan-
dria" grape. It is from this variety that the
best California raisins are made.
In this place,last week,the Southern Califor-
nia Horticultural Socioty held its first exhi-
bition of semi—tropical products. There were
present delegates from all the fruit-growing
sections of ’the southern part of the State,aud
not a few visitors from further to the north.
The display of fruits was magnificent and
bore ample testimony to the kindliness of the
climate and the surprising fertility of the soil.
This" valley proved itself the true home of the
orange and lemon by capturing all the pre—
miums. The specimens displayed by River-
side were notably large, clean and bright in
appearance,tind of an agreeable, sweet flavor.
So marked was the superiority in the appear—
ance-pf the home fruit that outside growers
accused the Riverside orchardists with bur.
nishing their samples. Had thercarpers gone
into any of the adjacent bearing orchards,
they .would have found that Nature and not
man had done the burnishing.
The Riverside raisin is making for itself a
name in the San Francisco market, and will
ere long,find its way into the Eastern centres.
The specimens presented at last week’s exhi-
bition were finer than any of the imported
article ever brought to the notice of your
correspondent. The committee on raisins
inserted a clause to the same effect in their
report.
ORANGE Guovas.
The settlement is of snob tenderpyears that
comparatively few trees in its miles of orange
groves are as yet in bearing. The fortunate
ownersof these are obtaining from $30 to $50
per 1,000 for the fruit. The trees are general-
ly purchased and placed in orchard form
when four years of age. A ten year-old tree
will bear 1,000 oranges. As I25 trees are
usually allowed to the sore, if present prices
could 'be reckoned on, a modest man would
require but a wide fraction of “God's foot-
stOol” to be rendered independent for life,
Everyone here is orange crazy. The average
orchardist talks, looks, cats, and works
orgnges all the day. and retires at night only
to reap the golden harvest in his dreams.
Orange raising is no pursuit for the absolutely
poor man to follow, for beside the first cost
of land and trees, the intending orchardist
must have sufiicicnt capital to support him
till his crops become remunerative. In cul—
ture and refinement the massof the colonists
are far above the class usually found in new
settlements. If is strange to witness one,
perhaps, formerly not unknown in Boston
or New York drawing-rooms, ‘in old boots
and slouch hat checrily following a plow
down_his rows of trees. Should you call
upon him in the evening, you would find him
the same as of yore, except, perhaps, a deep-
ly brouzed countenance and an increased
breadth of shoulders. He is still surrounded
by his books and papers,but his conversation
is not of the Hoosac Tunnel or the course of
“Lake Shore,” it is rather of fruits, scenery,
or climates.
* THE ounsrn.
The climate of this section of California is
said to stand almost without a rival. There
are more sunshiny, thoroughly pleasant days
here in the course of a year than in any other
part of the Globe. New York City has an
annual average of one hundred and twenty
clear days; the upper Santa Anna Valley
three hundred and forty. To-day, February
21st, at noon, the mercury stood 78 Fall. In
Summer one invariably requires a light blan-
ket on the bed.
As a consequence of the small rainfall all
trees, flowers and vegetables are aaiscd by
irrigation. The, water for this purpose is
furnished by the Riverside Land and Irriga—
tion Company, and is drawn through canals
from the Santa Anna River.
The scenery 'of this valley is grand and pic—
turesque, especially at this season, when the
surrounding mountain tops are covered with
snow and the million hucd flowers are begin-
ning to peep through the green carpeting of
plain and foothill.

Iiivcrside,as its fame travels,g‘rows in favor
as a resort for invalids and those who fly from

are well patromd. A small one, “Glen-
wood Cottage,” is filled almost exclusively
with New Yorkers. These'people are very
merry in their new home, and with picnics,
horseback excursions, and long tramps, do
not find the time hanging heavily on their
hands. It is from material such as this that
the better class of Riverside’s population has
been recruited, and no doubt, the Eastern
capital and Eastern energy thereby enlisted
has had not a little to do with the rapid de-
velopment of the colony. Along the grand
drive, “Magnolia Avenue,” fine mansions are
being erected. One, that of an ex-New York
banker, is said to be the finest residence in
Southern California.

Retiring from Business.
There is scarcely a more wretchedclass
of men than those who, after spending years
in active business, go into retirement in the
'prime of life, They become drones, of
very little use to themselves -or_ to‘ others
There is now and than among such men'a
student, whose intellectual pursuits afford
him an incxhaustable spring of enjoyment.
But, as a general‘thing. long addiction to
the close pursuit to business disqualifies one
for anything else, and retired business men
are, consequently, without any°occupstion
worthy of the name, and seem, ridiculously
enough, to be standing .around and just
waiting for their time to come to die ; which
we have no doubt, comes much sooner
than it would if their minds wane diverted
by some. useful pursuit. Life'is short, at
best, if all of it.is occupied;‘but to sit
down in idleness in one’s prime, is like do-
stroying half our days. Rest and rust are
synonymous terms. Industry is indispen-
blc to happiness at whatever stage of our
existence; and to retire out of one’s ac-
customed occupatiOn is to retire into mis-

Have the best implements, and keep them
scrupulously clean, well-scolded, and often
exposed to the sweetening influences of. the
sun. The milk pail and pans should be of
the best quality of tin. A reliable thermom-
eter is a necessity to every good dairyman.':
MILKING.
The milking should be done quietly and at
regular times, and the utmost cleanliness ob-
served. Nothing is tainted quicker than milk
by foul odors, and surely at times with near-
ly'ail cows' there is enough animal odor to it,
without adding any more.
same.
Strain the milk slowly into the pans, four
to six inches deep. It is an excellent plan to
strain the milk into a large can set in cold
water, and cool down to 60 degrees before
putting into the small pans. The milk must
be set in a purejatmospherc, at such a tempera-_
ture as will permit the cream to rise in from
thirty to thirty-six hours after setting. In
order to do that the room should be kept at
about 60 to 65 degrees, and not allowed to
vary much either above or below. =
In hot weather keep a large piece. of ice in
a tub in the room. Cover it over with a thick
blanket, and, if arranged so that the water
will run off, it will keep a long time, and
keep the room very'uniform.
In cold weather some arrangement for
warming the milk room should be adopted
SKIMMING.
Skim as soon as the milk begins to turn
sour. Do not neglect this rule, as it is im-
possible to make good butter from cream that
has become old and sour. When, you pour
your cream into the cream 'jar, splash as little
as possible. Stir the cream every time you
add more to it, and wipe the sides of the pot.
Keep the temperature at about 60 degrees,
and the cream pot in the coolest part of the
house, covered with aflne gauze netting strain
ed on a hoop, not with a tight cover. If cOv-
ered too tight, fermentation if often too rapid.
- CHUBNING.
Churn often, as there is nothing gained' by
long keeping. Bring the temperature of the
cream in the churn to 58 ° , and not allow it
to rise.abovc 64 ° . Churn early in the morn-
ing whilefilt is cool. First scald the churn,3
turn the paddles a few times; then pour off;
and pour in cold water and turn the paddles;
pour off and pour in your cream. In churn;
hing revolve the paddles with an easy regular
motion, not too fast nor too slow.
The butter should come in about forty
minutes, a little more or a little less if the
temperature of the cream when put in was
about 58 ° , ascertained by the thermometer.
wonerG AND SALTING.
When it has “broken" and there is a diffi-
culty to make the butter gather, throw in
some cold water and give a few more turns.
Some, and I think a majority,of the best but-
ter makers of to-day wash their butter with
'cold water before removing from the churn.
Gather your butter with the paddle and lift it
out into the tray, press it gently and incline
it. and let the buttermilk run off. Work it
gently with the paddle, with acutting, gentle
pressure, but not to mash it; or, better, put
into the butter-worker.
Salt it about an ounce to the pound, or to
the taste of good customers; only with the
best suit, and free from lumps and coarseness.
Work the butter only so much as to expel
the butter-milk, but not to work it too dry.
This can be done by the use of a weak brine
prepared for the purpose. Put the bowl away
in a cool place. . After standing twelve or‘
twenty-four hours, gently press out with a
ladle or machine, the remaining buttermilk,
and any brine that will flow out with it, care
being used not to work it too much. If this
is done the butter has lost its grain and be-
comes snivey, and its keeping qualities are
greatly injured.
PACKING.
Pack in vessels which will impart no impu-
rities to the butter. Fill within half an inch
of the top. Place a thin cloth wholly over
the butter. Over that pour cold brine a;
strong as can be made of hot water and. the
purest salt, or cover with a layer of fine salt..
The whole procrss of making the butter,from
drawing the milk to the placing of the butter
in packages,shonld be hurried, as milk, cream
and butter are going to decay every moment
when exposed to the air, however pure it may,
be. Such butter irrea‘dy to keep or to sell.,
If to be kept long before selling, surround
every package with coarse salt, by placing
them in boxes prepared for the purpose. This
process keeps the butter cool and hard, and
free from sudden changes of air. When all:
these things are attended to promptly, and
with as much uniformity as is under the pow-
er of man to control, there will be a near ap—
proach to'uniformity in color, richness and
purity. If the new beginner follows these-
rules, and keeps doing so, he will soon com—-
mand the highest figures.
. Cleanliness and common sense applied
from beginning to the end are absolutely nee-i
essary to insure good butter that will bring.
the highest price in the market.--Rural New
Yorker.
The report that Governor Nichols, of Lou-
isiana seriously contemplates resigning his
office is confirmed. He feels that he cannot, -
with any regard to his personal honor, share
in the disgrace of repudiating the State debt. '
He regards the State debt as a sacred con-
tract between the'people and its creditors,
and the five and a half mill tax as an obliga-
tion which the State cannot honorably escape.
Should the constitutional convention, which
meets next month, repudiate the debt his
resignation will be promptly handed in. He
is, moreover, disheartened 'at the altitude of
the democratic party in not seconding his
shorts to keep the pledges he made to the
country when he entered ofiice. Murders
are frequent and there are but few convic-
tions or even arrests. The treasury is empty .
and whereas Governor Kellogg, carpet-bag?
ger though he was, found no difiiculty in
negotiating loans with the democratic ban-
kers of New Orleans, they refuse to lend a}
cent to the present State administration. She
revolution by which the legally elected re-
publican government was overthrown has,
not brought either peace or prosperity to "
Louisiana, though both were promised as its
result—Palladium. ,
Aletter from Paris says: “M. De Cock-
ery,the new minister of posts and telegraphs,
has submitted a bill to the chamber under
which the post-office will undertake the
collection of bills and other debts not ex-
ceeding 500 francs. The creditor will send
a registered letter to the debtors’ post-office,
which in case. of failure will return it to
him without being bound to assign any
reason. The letter will cost 25 centimes.
Postman will be allowed 25 centimes, and
the collecting office will charge 25 centimes,
but the two latter sums will be reduced to 10
centimcs in the case of any debt under 10
francs. A remittance will be sent by post-
ofilce order by the usual rule. [The post-ofilce
may also receive subscription for news-
papers and magazines at a charge of 3 per -
cent. The experiment will, at first, be con-
fined to the principal towns."

This doggerel,while it will provoke a smile,
eKln'csses the feeling of many a tired over-
worked Woman;
Here lies an old woman
. Who always was tired,
Cause she lived inu house
Where help wasn’t hired.
. I-Icr very last words were ;
“Friends, I am going '
To where there’s an end
0f darning and sewing;
Oh! everything there
Will be just to my wishes,
’Causc where they don’t eat
There’s no washing of dishes
So, friends, do not grieve
That from me you must sever,
For I expect a good time
Doing nothing forever.”
Then she folded her hands
With life's latest endeavor,
Sighing “Nothing, dear nothing,
Sweet nothing, forever.”

[IA Colored Voter’s Advice to
Grant.
(The Pilatka’IIerald.)
After the arrival of General Sherman in
this City on Thursday one of our colored
men visited him in the Larkin House parlor,
and, extending his hand, opened fire thusly:
“How yo' is, General i”
“How are you; how are you ? Where did
I first have the pleasure of your acquaintance?"
replied the General, shaking hands.
“Oh, I was wid yo’ down dar at Shiloh ? I
reckon yo’ must hab seed m'e, forI was dar.”
“Who was your officer and what regiment
were you in 7”
“Well, now, I don’t zac’ly 'mcmbcr dat;
but I was (hit, an’ was wid yo’ up at Colum-
by, Souf Kaliny, too. By dc way, Geq'ral.
whar’s Gcn'ral Grant i”
“Ah, he is in Egypt, and is about to ‘ visit
Eden 1” was the reply.
“Haw, haw, haw, Dat's too good, too
good; but look here, Gen'ral Grant’s a
moughty smart man, and we gcnmen of de

stay dar, for he monght nebber get de chance

Away at the southern end of Fourth
avenue live two promising youngsters, whose
father, being an upright. and conscientious
gentleman, has an enduring admiration for
George Hatchet and his little Washington.
Of course, he took his hopefuls on his knees
and told to them, as he trotted them to Bar-
naby Cross, the story of the evergreen and
eternal cherry tree. In the course of events
and time he bethought him to make his two
cherubs a present of a hatchet each, and in
the course of events and time he discovered
a. cut on_ his cherished dwarf pear tree.
Suspectiug the culprits and calling his pos—
terity to him, “Boys," he said, frowning
gloweringly, “who cut this pear tree .5” And
then he waited in suspense to see wether he
had another Washington in ' his family.
Posterity No. 1—“1 did it, pa, wif my little
hatchet. I cannot tell a lie." Posterity No.
2—I“No, he didn’t, pa; I cut it wif my hatch-
et ; and I’m the one ’at can’t tell no lie.” No.
1—“You didn’t; I cut it myself.” No. 2
—“Woopcc! You didn’t do no ouch thing i”
No. 1—“Yes, I did, pa, for there wasn’t but
one pear tree, and we drawd straws which
’ould cut it. and —” No. 2—“And I drawd
the short straw and cut the —., No. 1—
“Ain’t you ashamed? I drawd the short
straw and cut the tree, and you got mad au’
went of and cut up our new carri’ge.” Pa—
“The -——” No. 2—“00—ooh! I didn’t do no
such thing! He cut it his-se’f, pa.” No.
1-—-“I d-i-d—n-’-t, now.” N o.—2—"Yoii're a
li—‘a fibbcr!” And then the fond father took
his posterity each by the nape of the neck
and marched them to the carriage house.
The mournfnl ruin that had been wrought
there was harrowing to contemplate, and the
sounds that went up from the carriage house
excited the wonder of the neighbors and the
_cachinations of the chickens for two squares
around. The father has confiscated the
hatchcts and now declares that too much

An umbrella figures in a Boston romance,
which might be named “One Winter.” On
January 16th as the Hub correspondent of
The Detroit Post and Tribune tells the story,
two people, with umbrellas tilted forward,
met in a driving storm. One was a hale and
hearty gentleman of about fifty years, and
the other was a little, slight woman, perhaps
a year or two younger. He was coming
around the cornor from the Washington-st.
side; she was going around the same corner
from Winter-st. Both were in a hurry
Natural consequence, a sudden collision of
umbrellas, the shock of which caused the
little woman’s feet to slip upon the trench-
erous walk. The gentleman picked her up,'
thereby gettiuga good look at her face, when,
exchanginga few astonished exclamations,
the pair recognized in each other longdost
friends, and walked 0115 together. Thirty
years ago she was a factory girl in Lowell,
and-he was amedical student at Harvard.
Both were poor in pocket, but rich in love
and hope; he worked hard at study and she
worked hard to raise the money to help him
on through his course. When the California
ever broke out in 1849, he resolved to try a
quicker route to fortune, and started for the
golden shore, sending back a letter of fare-
well to his young girl. The upshot of the
separation was that letters became less and
less regular, and at last there was silence.
The years passed on; he grew rich and
influential, completed his studies and became
a noted physician of one of the largest Cali-
fornia cities ; he married and had two
children. Two years ago his wife and
children were carried off by fever. A year -
to a day before the meeting in. the snow-
storm, he dreamed that his youthful love
was living, and in distress, and the dream
made such an impression upon him that he
sent East and made inquiries, which resulted
in his coming on himself to search for her.
But six months had been spent unsuccess-
fully, and he had just despaircd of ever
finding her, when the two bumped umbrellas
at corner of Washington and Winter-sis.
And she—poor soull—had married late in
who were too 'young to work much, and
whom she was trying, ,withjhcr old devotion,
to keep at school.

When young Hyson, who is a commission
merchant and an importer came home to
dinner one evening last week he found Mrs.
Hyson just parting with a caller and de—
scribing some "lovely” Chinese lanterns she
had bought at Veneer’s on Washington
street. Hysou‘s face grew dark as the
narrative proceeded, and when the door
closed upon the visitor he turned to Mrs. H.
with a lowering brow and asked, “What have
you been fooling money away on at Veneer’s?”
“Don’t be such a bear, Harry," said Mrs. H.,
“I only bought a dozen of these lovely
lanterns, nice for ornaments and they were
onlyadollar each; did you ever see any
like them before 'f” “See "em!” groaned
Hyson. “ it; they sent me four thou-
sand of ’em in the Mandarin, and I have
only sold one lot, and that was a hundred

Dons PaonmrrroN Paommr i—Are we
never to know the exact truth, or even the
approximate truth, respecting the operation
of the Prohioitory Law in Maine? A report
has Just been made by Mr. Portland, which
is full of discouraging statements. Accord-
1ng to Neal Dow, who sends a letter to that
effect about once a month to be published in
England, . the policy of Prohibition has
succeeded perfectly in diminishing crime, in
lessening the aggregate of pauperism, and in
reducing cases of drunkenness. Mr. Ingraham
tells the Legislature in his report that under
the operation of thelaw, druakenness- has
increased ;‘ the number of lunatics made so by
hard drinking has nearly doubled in the
hospitals; Massachusetts and the Provinces
have supplied Maine with liquor, draining
the state of millions of dollars, while the
amount paid by counties for enforcing the
law reaches ihe sum of $200,000 each, annual
Ty. Who is right, Mr. Dow or. Mr. Ingraham ?
