An Ice-Storm,

On the 20th ult., some parts of Kansas
were visited by terrible storm Of ice
the smallest Of the pieces had the size of
hens egg, and many were as large as q
quart bowl. Several ice balls Of pro.
digious weight were picked up, one
weighing q pound and a half. Quite
number of persons were severely injured,
and live stock was killed some Of tho
hail stones pierced the roofs Of the houses.
The foregoing statements and the follow
ing extract are from the NeoSho Register |:
"During the latter part Of The afternoon
Of that day rumblings Of distant thunder
were heard, giving warning that storm
was approaching, and at about six O'Clock
dark clouds began to gather in the west.
The clouds increased in magnitude till
within one half hour OF sunset, when slight
drops Of rain began TO descend. At this
juncture, the most magnificent, yet fear
fully portentous scene burst upon the view
that the human eye could possibly be-
hold. The heavens seemed to be en-.
veloped in mantle of complete darkness,
with the exception Of small space in the
yioinity Of the sun, and though the sun
was in full view, yet it afforded no light,
and il was as dark in town as a moonless
midnight. We hardly know how to de-
scribe the appearance of the sun at that
time unless it might be said to resemble
one OF lta rays when peering through the
knot-hole of closet"
The Jeffersonian Democrat. [volume] (Chardon, Ohio) 1854-1865, 1860-05-25
Working in the Music.

True to the life, and true to nature, is this
beautiful sketch:
A wee bit of philosopher is our little
Mary, aud the truths which sometimes fall
from her cherry lips are as good as "pearli
and diamonds" of fairy tale memory.
A few weeks ago, Mary and her mamma
were sitting in tho sunshine near an open
window Mamma was sewing, and Mary
not in very good humor, with slate and
pencil on her knee, was trying. with oil
earnestness, to copy the straight trunk Of q
locust tree, whose flower laden branches
almost touched tho window-sill. Four or
FIVE times she had brought the slate to
mamma, asking, as she pointed to strokes
as curved as rainbows:
"Ma, ain't it right this time :"
"No, darling" mamma wonld cay, rubbing
out the lines, "the real tree is straight yonrs
is very crooked; try once again"
"No, won't" said Mary a: last, petulant-
ly; 81 am sick with trying nobody could
draw that old tree straight, and I'll just lot
is alone"
Mamma sewed on very quietly. Mary
pouted prodigiously a few minutes, then,
without saying anything took up her blank
slate and again sat down. A golden breast
ed oriole was skimming through the leaves
like an arrow of light; she watched him u
moment, then as her little white fingers
again clasped the pencil she began to sing
almost unconsciously. Now her eyes once
more sought the abused tree; her hand
moved slowly ovor tho slate, faster and
more merrily she sang, quicker and lighter
grew the pencil tonehes, until suddenly
bringing her song to an abrup: finale, aud
springing to hor mothers side she triumph
sntly displayed correct drawing.
"Mamna," she asked. after it had beor
sufficiently admired, "do you know what
made it como right this tinei l just
worked the music in |"

The Japanese.

A letter from San Francisco says that the
officers of tho Powhattan have but one fault
to find with the Japanese, and that is that
their books aud little toilet articles are COW
cred with pictures which a Christian would
be ashamed to have about him. They do
not possess our delicacy in this respect.
10 Lord Elgin's Mission to Japan, &C., We
find the every day manners Of the people OF
Nangasaki described thus:
As We traversed its entire length, no foul
odors assailod our nostris, or hideous ou-
taneous objects offended our eyesight; nor
did inconvenient walls or enviOus shutters
debar us from inspecting,as We passed along,
the intornal economy of the shops and
dwellings on each side. Light wooden
screens, neatly papered, and running on
sides, are for the most part pushed back in
the daytime, and the passer by looks through
the house, to where the waving shrubs of q
cool back garden, invite him to extend his
investigations. Between the observer and
this retreat, there are probably one or two
rooms, raised about two feet from the
ground; and upon the scrupulousIy clean
and we'll -wadded mating, which is stretched
upon a wooden floor, sem-nude men ana
women loll and lounge. and their altogether
nudo progeny crawl, and feast themselves
luxuriously at ever present fountains. Tho
women seldom wear anything above their
waists, the men only scanty lion cloth.
