Summary Pullinger, the English
defaulter, has met his deserts in 4 sentence
Of twenty years penal servitude. The Eng
lish attend to affairs of this sort with promp-
titude and unfinching adherance to the prin
ciples Of natural justice which ought to make
US blush for the slovcnly administration of
criminal law in some parts at least Of this
country. No matter what mans seeming
character has been, his reputation or social
station, if he shows himself rogue in Eng
land, he is put relentlessly to the bar Of JUS
tice, is tried, sentenced, and punished, with
out regard to anything but the actual crcum
stances to which his own yillainy has reduced
him. OF a gentleman, good conduct is ex-
pected. If he becomes guilty Of crime, like
Puliinger. he forfeits his past reputation, re-
duces himself to the mere condition of a man
who is a scoundrel without any leadings or
sophistications Of any sort of him, and is
treated according to what ne is. not what he
seemed to be betore.-B0st0a Post

CHICAGO, June "A terrible tornado swert
over Eastern Iowa and Northwestern Illinois
last night, which has caused more destruc.
ton Of life and property, especially at Gin
ton, Iowa, than any similar visitation remem-
bered. The towns Of Camanche. Iowa. and
Albany, Illinois, were completely demolished
In the former thirty two dead bodies have al
ready been discovered and there were still a
number under the ruins of demolished build
ings. In Albany five or six dead bodies have
been found, and there are some fifty persons
wounded, some seriously.
The destruction was equally great at
Morrison, Illinois. Mrs. Richardson, Mr..
and Mrs. Dorr, George Rowerth and boy
named Barnam was killed and Thomas Dig
by, Benjamin Lath and wife. Mr. Richmond
and Hiram Mann were seriously injured.
At Lynden several persons were killed, and
fifteen persons in the vicinity were badly in
iured.
The storm passed two miles north of Am
boy, and it is reported that over ten persons
were killed there and a number badly iniur-
ed. Mrs. Moss and child named Bilisby

sixty. The loss in property has of course
not been ascertained, but must be very large.
NaEing Shoes By Steam.-The Haver-
hill (Nass.) Publisher gives an account of
steam shoe factory in that place, for sew
ing the seams and pegging shoes The
machinery is all worked by small five
horse power engine. In the basement of
the building are the machines for cutting, |
stripping, rolling and shaping the soles.-
These are then passed to the story above, |
where the shoes are lasted, and the outer
sole tackled on by hand, which process pre-
pares them for pegging. The pegging |
machines are simple in their construction
and mode of operation, but perform their |
work with great despatch and accuracy, |
driving the pegs at the rate of II a second. |
One Of the most curious operations of the
machine is the manner in which it manu-
features the pegs for its own use. A strip
of wood of the required width, and neatly
laid in a coil one hundred feet in length, /
is put into the machine, and at every revo-
luton it is moved forward, and a peg cut
off and driven into the shoe The rapid
ty and unerring accuracy with which these
perform their work is truly as
After being pegged, the shoes
are passed up to the third story, where the
bottoms are smoothed. scnnrad and hrush-
