TIE TERRIBLE HURRICANE IN M1ss1s-
sIpPl.-The Paulding Clarion, giving an
account of the recent hurricane, which
crossed that county, killing nine persons,
mostly in one family, says:
The dwelling in which most of the fami-
ly were sleeping was newly built of heavy
green logs. These were carried, some to
the distance of several miles, and others
hurled together or against trees, and bro
ken like pipe stems. The heavy hewn sills
of the house were taken up and carried of
like feathers. The bodies of the dead
were picked up at various distances and in
different directions from the house, every
vestige of clothing having been stripped
from them by the wind, and covered with
dirt and mud, occasioned by the heavy rain.
Mrs. Moody, Sr., who was severely hurt,
and whose recovery is doubtful, says that
she and her husband heard the roar of the
storm; be sprang out of bed and COM
menced putting on his pantaloons. She
raised herself, and was also in the act of
stepping on the floor, when terrible crash
came, and she remembers nothing else un-
til restored to consciousness several hours
afterwards. The young man, Moody, who
escaped with nothing worse than some Sc
we're bruises, was scarcely conscious of
what was happening, until he found him
self about fifty yards down the hill from
the house, clinging to stump.
9, A number of incidents showing the ex-
treme force of the wind, as we'll as its sin
gular freaks, were noticed by those who
visited the spot. A field from which the
crop had been gathered, and which had
grown up to crab-grass, was swept nearly
clear of the grass, quantities of which was
drifted against the stumps and logs as
though it had been washed there by swol-
len stream. A cow, which must have been
one hundred and fifty yards from the house
when the storm commenced, was found
head foremost in the well. Another re-
markable occurrence worth mentioning
was the preservation of a parcel of stock.
In field, heavily timbered, the timber
belted and dead, there were five or six yoke
of oxen and several horses. After the
storm was over, to look at it, one would
have thought it hardly possible that cat
to have been there could have escaped be-
ing killed. Yet, singularly enough, of the
animals referred TO only one horse was
killed, and all the Others escaped without
the slightest injury.

Mr.. Miutufh in his travels in the East
thus snightehs our fashionable ladies' On
Cashmere shawls:
The shawls. nearly all come from the
Pupisub, only few from Cashmere. An
sbaHIs that come to this country from In
Al. are called Cashmere" or "Camels
Hair" but really there are scarcely any
true Cashmere shswis in America and
none anywhere of Cameps Hair. The
Cashmere shawl is made of the inner wool
ofthe Thibit goat, which is brought from
Ladak in Thibit, and woven into fabric
called pushmoena, which forms the basis
and center of the Cashmere shawl. The
embroidery of the shawls is sometimes
woven, sometimes worked with the needle;
in either case the works done by men and
requires an incredible amount of time. The
Kanarajah of Cashmere does not allow any
of the workmen to leave his domininions.
If caught attempting TO escape, they are
hung; but notwithstanding this risk many
of them have made their escape to Punjaub,
where at the towns of Labor, Loodiana, and
Umritsus they have long established man.
ufactories of shawls, from which the mar
kets of the West are supplied. Every
shawl manufactured in Cashmere has a
few. square inches of work left incomplete.
After the shawls is bought, ii is finished
in the private mandatory of the Mahara-
jab, where it pays him about one hundred
per centum of its value, as duty. This
regulation also gives the Maharajah the op,
portunity ofascertaining the party to whom
the shawl is sold-which be always wishes
to know, as he will not allow the shawls to
be sold TO the traders.

John Boggs was dumb with grateful emo
ton. Ho understood his wife perfectly. He
know how noble she was and he now real
izcd that If he had only given heed to her ad-
vice before, he might have been spared his
shame But he soon gazed up and his only
answer was to draw the faithful woman down
and kiss her
That very afternoon he commenced upon
a rule Of life which he resolved not to dcyi-
ate. lie posted Oft at once. and before night
he was tho owner Of eight yokcs of oxen.-
They were not such beauties as those he had
sold, but they were stout working oxen.--
Next he engaged his men. And when the
season for work commenced he went at it
with will. The logs were all out and de-
posted in the river, and he was the clear. net
gamer Of ono thousand dollars by the opera
ton
But that was not all he gained from that
fallen barn door lie gained the life lesson
he so much needed and from the rule it
gave he never after doyiatcd He never
again saw a thing upon his place that needed
attention without bcstowing that attention at
once. And the result was soon manifest -
Everything was in its place, and everything
was safe His wife was happy, for she had
no more occasion to perform that most un-
pleasant of all domestic duties TO tho true
witc-tho chiding of husband And there
was one more thing lie could put n fricnd's
horse into his stall without the danger Of the
animals making off during the night, through
a hole that should have been, but was not,
stopped by barp-door.

dant on the translation of an angel Did not
sucecedi WAY, his whole life was a series
OF successes. In every conflict he came off
the victor, and now the victors crown is on
his brow Any grasping, soullcss, selfish
man, with share of brains, may gather in
money and learn tho art of keeping it but
not one in hundred can bravcly conquer in
the battle of life as Edmonson has conquered,
and step forth from the ranks of men, chris
tan hero. No. no he did not die poor, but
rich-rich in neighborly love. and rich in cc-
lestial affections. And his heirs have an in
tcrost IN the administration of his estate. A
large property has been left, and let them see
to 1t that they do not lose precious things
through false estimates and ignorant depreci
atons'
"Nou have a now way Of estimating the
wealth of a man" said the one who had at
first expressed sympathy for the deceased.
"ls it not the way Z" was answered -
There are higher things to gain in this
world than wealth that pcrishes Riches of
priceless value ever reward the true merchant
who trades for wisdom, buying it with the
silver Of truth and the gold of love. He dies
rich who can take his treasure with him to
the now land where he is to abide forever,
and hc who has to leave all behind on which
he has placed bis affection, dies poor indeed

rard or an Astor: his monument is built Of
good deeds and noble examples. 1t will

It will be rccollcctcd that the Union some
weeks ago characterized large proportion Of
the Government clerks in this city as "miser-
able scavougers, who devote four or five hours
Of indoepcc at their desks. and declared
that "it is notorious fact that more than
half of the patronage of this Government is
bestowed upon such unworthy and untrust-
worthy men"
Although we have never applied, and do
not now apply the offensive opithets of the
Union to these officials vet we have often
charged that many men are appointed to In
cratiyc offices in the Executive Departments,
not because their official services are needed
by the Governments but merely to reward
them for party services, or to CRAFTY promi-
nent and influential politicians. We have Of
ten charged that numerous persons are retain
ed in office, at high salaries, whore there is
little or nothing for them to do, and who
spend but very small proportion of their
time, even in the nominal attendance to any
official business whatever. We have charged
that these facts, existing as they do under
the very eyes of the President and his Cabi-
net, prove that the professions of economy
and retrenchment, on the part OF the Admin
istration, are hollow and insincerc. We have
never, like the Union, abused the recipients
Of these Executive avors for we believe
there are many very honest men who would
not resist the temptation of fat Office, with
salary paid in gold at the end of every
month, and nothing to do. We think those
who appoint these men to Office, and retain
them therein, are the proper persons to hold
responsible for such palpable abuses.
AS an instance Of an abuse Of this kind, we
state the following facts, which have been
communicated to us from such source as to
leave no doubt of their correctness in all ma
terial points.
We are informed that near relative of a
distinguished Southern politician has held a
twelve hundred dollar clerkshp in one of the
Government Bureaus for nearly three years,
during which time he has never done single
day work in his office, although he has reg
ularly drawn his one hundred dollars at the
end of every mouth For about three months
last past, he has hired a substitute at sixty
dollars per month, but during all the residl o
of the time, he has received his salary regu-
larly, without in any way rendering the slight
est equivalent therefor. - Washington Repub.

ANOTHER BALLOON LOST.

BALLOON AND CHILDREN FOUND SAFE.
We copy from the ST. Louis Democrat the
following account Of the escape of a balloon,
with two children in the basket, near Centra-
liza, ILL.,.
Mr.. q. w. Brooks OF this city, an eron-
aut of considerable distinction, was advertised
to make an ascension from spot contiguous
to the Fair grounds on Friday evening, after
the closing exercises Of the Fair Instead,
however, Of going up himself, be yielded to
the solicitations of a young man who had
been travelling round with him, learning the
theory and practice of ballooning, and who
begged that as the evening was so fine, he
might be allowed to test the value of his
knowledge by little experience. The young
man, whose name has escaped the recollection
of our informant, made the ascension in beau
uful style, in the presence Of thousands of
admirng and wondering people. The atmos-
pherc was so quiet that he rose almost verti-
cally to great height, and then, when it was
supposed that he would descend, the balloon
passed into current Of air, which bore it
gradually away to the southeast, and finally
carried 1t out of sight.
II was said that Mr.. Brooks was much an
noyed at his pupil for refusing to descend be-
fore striking the current of air which bore
him away from the scene of the ASCENSION
