sensible Advice.

A Kansas editor. in renarking upon the
destruction caused by the late tornado. in /.
lulges in some suggestions which are apII
plicable 10 all localities: -
The question naturally arises how we
can guard against these damages from
storms In the first place We must build
better houses; IL of wood. they should be
built solid and strong, no sham work should
be permitted; If of stone. ten or twelve
inch walls will never answer. Stone hous-
es in this country should stand on founda-
tions at least two feet thick, the lower sto
ry should be eighteen inch walls, and the
second story fifteen inch walls. Windows
should be put in firm and sIrong, il would
indeed be better if all windows were pro-
tected with good shutters or blinds. forsif a
window blows out in storm the house fills
with the wind, and the roof or wall Is al
most sure 20 give way. Last. though not
least, every house, whether of log. stone or
brick, should be protected with good
lightning rod Nature has given Us
means to colloect the electricity in the vi
eini,y of our buildings.s and dquietly carry
il 10 the earth on these rods, and prevent IL
from collecting and exploding to the dam

TO do it. -..-..sif. ....ss..l

Mr. Douglas Letter.
WASHINGTON. June 2.

WASHINGTON, June "a.
The friends of Judge Douglas here, are
in possession OF the following letter. ex
planning hls position on the subject of the
Presidency, and of which they have per
mitted a copy To be taken for publication:
- WAsHINGToN, June 92.
Ny DEAR SIR:--I have read your letter
inquiring whether my friends are at liberty
TO present my name to the Charleston Ctn-
ventioui foF The Presidential nomination.
Before this question can be finally deter
mined il will be necessary to, understand
distinctly upon what issues the canvass is
TO be conducted. Ii, as have full faith
they will. the Democratic party shall deter
mine IN the Presidential election of 1869,
To adhere to the principle embodied in the
compromise measurespt 1850, aud ratified
By Tie people in the PresidenualI election of
1852. and re affirmed in the Kansas Nebras-
ka Act-ofs 1854, and Incorporated into the
Cincinnati PLATFORM Ia 1856. as expounded
by Mr. Buchanan in his letter accepting the
nomination, and approved by the people in
| his elsction-in thar event my friends will
be at liberty 10 preSentmy name to the con-
ventlon IT they see proper TO do 81. If, on
the contrary, it shall become the policy of
! the Democratic party, which / cannot an
ticipate. TO repudiate their Iime-honored
principles on which we have achieved so
many patriotic sriumphs, aud in lieu of
them the convention shall interpolate into
the creed of the party such new isms as the
| revival of the African slave trade, or a
Congressional slave code for the Territories,
and placing it beyond the powers of the peo-
pie legally 20 control it as other property,
il is due to candor to say, that in such an
event, could not accept the nomination if
il was rendered to me. Trusting that this
answer viii be deemed sufficiently explicit,
am very respectfully. st,f s,5ss5 o'A So.

CHAPTER II-CoNcLUsIoN
Rapid Maneuvering.

The army of Napoleon was landed at Ge-
noa., on the 18th of May and had up to our
last advices been in the field but twenty
seven days. Those twenty seven days have
been productive of as rapid and brilliant
results as the campaigns of the first Napo-
leon. II the battles have been less frequent,
the success. has been equally decisive. Tu-
rim has been saved from capture. Victory
has crowned French arms a second time at
MontebelIo. Two victories have been won at
Palestro.1 The Austrians have been driven
out Of Sardinia. The French have invaded
Lombardy. Como has been revolution
Eized. The Tuscan sovereign has been de-
throned. The Parmesan Duchess has been
compelled to fly. Milan has thrown of the
Austrian woke, and Magenta has been the
scene of as bloody conflict as Marengo.-
'.In months time said Napoleon, ''I
will date my proclamation from Milan. -
He kept his promise.-1 Topeka Tribune.

the. Consti,u ional Convention OF, Kansas.
represents with his associate. Mr.. McCuE
loeh, The Seventeenth Distrieteinathis body!
This district comprises the counties of
Breckenridse,0 ,0sase,~C Chase and Morris.
Mr. Winchel resides Al Superior 10 Usage
County. E.o. :s-s-,
He is one of the "Old Guard, of Kansas,
having emigrated from the State of New
York to the Territory in the fall of 1854.
He has taken al. active part in the many
memorable events which have occurred IN
oar midst since the celebrated entity me
braska Bill" was brought into the world by
the obssetrical ingenuity of Senator Doug
las. He has held commission as Colonel
IN the Free Stale Volunteers and As one Of
tile correspondents of the Il. Y. Times
outside of Kansas, performed good work
for Kansas. He was appointed Auditor
under the Topekaf Constitution, and was
als9 one of the active me ,bers Of the Leayi
enworth Convention. s...auO 80 >ry-,.s5 .f.s.
Mr.. Winchell7is about FIVE feet, six inch
es in height, spare but. wiry frame; with
neryous-blllOus temperament, giving him
considerable powers of endurance both men-
tai and physical. His head is small but
well proportioped, and presents fair har-
mony of mind and body. He is mol man
of large powers of.mind,a but all heihas, and
they are. considerable. are at all times aEaila-
bic. This strikes the observer as the char
acterislic of his mentality. As "a presiding
officer he is dignifed. cool, prompt and al
ways ready to give reasons for his decis-
ions. As a speaker he is calm aud fluent.
using 6t words with confidence and seldom
misplacing them. He is an acute, logical
thinker within the range of his vision, and
as writer for purity of diction and ele-
gance of style he is not surpassed in the
body over which he presides. 81
Mr.. Winchell's face is worth studying,
for there is much of will, cool and reserved
force written on it. His keen, clear, blue
eyes gleam with light which mark him a
man Who pursues his purpose steadily, and
when he wills thing is much in the
habit of attaining it. HIS features are
small. frame slight, movements quick yet
deliberate. hair very dark, and light brown
beard. Such are heprincipal points which
strike the observer in noting the peeuliari-
Ties uf Mr.. Presidents. In politics this gem
lleman belongs 10 the radical school of Kan
sas Republicans. He acted in the States
with the Free Soil element, and voted for
john p. Hale in the contest of SO. In the
! Leayen worth Convention he Introduced a
resolution granting the franchise to all per-
sons of adult age. without regard TO sex.
etc, provided they could read and write.
