| miles per hour, while the progress was on
ly 45 per hour. At the rate of l72 miles
an hour the velocity is one fifth that of a
cannon ball
The Cincinnati storm was distinguished
for its breadth, and especially for high
progressive velocity. In this latter respect
it stands pre-eminent The progress was
so rapid as to obscure the rotation. and to
render it difficult in some parts to detect
it at all From the cursory examination
which the writer has yet been able to give,
it seems probable that if there was gen.
eral whirl reaching across the track, it was,
at the surface of the earth, broken up into
several subordinate whirls, at one time act
ing separately, again cOmmingling either
in conflict or to unite their forces in more
deadly energy. This irregularity is just
what any one, acquainted with the nature
of elastic fluids, would expect under the
CIRCUMSTANCES.
No tornado of considerable breadth
could maintain regular rotation along a
surface so broken as the valley of the Ohio.
The case, if as supposed, is not entirely
singular. Clear evidence was obtained at
one place in the Brandon tornado, that
two whirlS co-existed side by side. This
was supposed at the time to have been due
tc the fact that about one-third of the
breadth of the storm was laboring at that
point in a dense forest, while the rest was
sweeping over cleared ground.
Along the center of the path of lorna
do the barometer stands lower than the
average, and on the borders higher. The
lowest depression is directly under the
place of greatest violence; but as the top
of the whirling column inclines forward, its
base does not reach any given place till
the lowest depression of the barometie wave
has passed. This explains fact mention
ed by our correspondent from Walnut Hills;
that the barometer began to rise just before
the severest part of the blow.
Ihave entered, Messrs. editors, upon no
explanation of the cause or causes which
can keep in action forhOurs, and sometimes
for days, such enormous forces, except so
far as the great currents spoken of may
serve for an explanation.
All the steam power on the globe fall
far short of the Cincinnati tornado.

Z. L. De FOREST.

The New Haven Palladium says
We have very carefully compared the
manuscript of the letter with the other
manuscripts of Mr.. De Forest, and find
the resemblance most striking. The only
marked difference is the small d. In his
other manuscripts the top of the d is
thrown to the left in a curve-but in this
last letter it is the ordinary d, similar to
this one which we print But all the 9th
er words and letters have the same appear
ance in all the manuscripts. Even the
loop on the back of each small f is the
ames in all.

of butcher. Beneath his sleeves and apron
he wears the costliest broadcloth-none Of
the inferior grades, but of the finest pro-
ductiOn of French looms. His linen is as
faultless as his exterior garments, while the
glistening surface of his marble counters is
no less striking than the glOssiness of his
hat and boots. In the center of his shirt
bosom sparkles single diamond stone
of six carats weight, and of the first water
Upon the little finger of his left hand gilt
ters a circlet of diamonds, six in number,
whose aggregate value is considerably more
than that of the garniture Of his shirt
bosom. His complexion is a clear red
and white-just that style of complexion
which Partisan ladies produce by dainty
eommixture of carmine and bismuth. He
is man of fine physique, and has an
avoirdupOis of about 200 pounds. His
address is polished, and his manners court
ly and suave. He commenced life with
out dollar, and is now taxed for some
$4,000 in real estate, yet is as polite and
deferential to his customers as m the day
he first embarked in the business of con-
verting quarters of beef into chops and sir
lOins. A benevolent lady of large fortune
first noticed him, and placed at his disposal
a fund upon which he has raised the su-
perstructure of his present fortune. He is
now rapidly advancing in wealth, and will
retire upon the eighth ola million.
And all through the influence of that
specific against adversity-pOliteness.

THE DE FOREST MYSTERY.

So many mysterious disappearanees occur
that our readers can hardly charge their
memory with them. Day after day they
excite moments discussion, or point a
newspaper paragraph, and then fade from
the mind of all. save the family friends Of
the missing. into whose heart the sorrow
sinks like lead. The dread uncertainty,
perhaps, is solved by the finding of man.
gled corpse, or worse than that, ever hangs
over life's journey, feeding a constant hope
that the lost one may return, and causing
a start at every foot fall, distorted by fan
cy into the familiar tread of the long ab-
sent one.
A wealthy young man-E. L. De For
est-Of Watertown, Conn, left the Metro
politan Hotel in New York, January II,
1859, to 60 over to BroOklin to SEE an
aunt and make final arrangements with her
for transatlantic tour After leaving one
of the Banks, from which he drew a con-
siderable sum of money, he was no more
seen. All that love, wealth and persever-
ance could do to solve the mystery were
uuavailing. Mr.. De Forest was mourned
as dead; his great estate went into the
hands of an Administrator, and last year
as we rode past the rural cemetery of Wa
tertowm, on our way to Litchfeld, we saw
the marble monument to his memory
But a New Haven dispatch has told us that
the cashier of the New Haven Bank has
received the lnllnwinn latter.

There is a charm in the Sea. The freedom
there is in its sweep, the grandeur there is in
its pillows, the music there is in its roar; its
round horizons beaded with white foam; red
with the wine of morning light, and tinged
with the ruby sun that descends into its
waters and dissolves.
The ship, so like bird, that spreads its
white wings, and skirts the sea-encircled
world; the wild tales Of strange lands and
strange adventure; the gems and gold that
stow its caves; the coral groves touched with
eternal sunset; the bubbles that have broken
upon its surface and released the passing
souls; all these have shrouded the sea with a
mysterious charm.
And then to think, that the sea is the
Memory of the world; that an angels voice
shall summon it, and it shall surrender it,
dead to air and light again: that the lower
half of heaven is hidden like a jewellsd cup in
its bosom; that the ever going sun has worr
no path thereon, and the long caravan o.
ages has left no footprint as it went.
And so we, who have never laid a hanC
upon its name, do love the ocean, locked il

sown with neutrality-suspicious. Of stars

The Champs Elysees and the Bois de Bou-
logne, the principal lungs of Paris, have
assumed their gay garb, for the summer OF

commenced his admirable open-air concerts,
in the elegant inclosure in the rear Of the
Palais de rIndustrie On the other side oi
the avenue, three or four cafes chantants rival
ize with each other in profuse display Of
gaslights and an inexhaustible flow Of sour
beer A little further up, the Paris circus
has entered summer quarters, with the SAME
old pad-riders and balloon-splitters, worn-oui
spangles and thread-bare jokes.
