Whatever their wants may be the States can
be nothing. Over four hundred millions, and
reckoned In our currency over SIX hundred

ney from Vsnetia to Vienna and now that
he Prussians are In possession OF tho line OF
railroad which connects Pardubitz and Prague
and the west, the re Inducements from that
quarter must ma ske a detour of many hundred
miles through Vienna in order to reach the
camp of Benedek Already the Prussians
have succeeded IN concentrating eight corps
Of their army, which they found il necessary
to divide in order to enter Bohemia but the
victory they have just gained will enable them
10 call in all their scattered corps, especially
those In the southeast of SIlesia, and to pour
down with overwhelming fury on the living
fragments of what was the great Austrian
army of the North. Nor is this all. For the
result Of their occupation of Pardubltz must
be TO cut off all communication between the
Austrians and tho Federal army of the West.
Henceforth, therefore. those opposed to
Prussia are divided into two distinct bodies,
which must act separately, and cannot come
GO the aid of each other. Tho Prusslans per-
ceive their vantage ground, nor is it probable
that they will relax their grip upon the army
of Benedek until it has either crumbled to
pieces, or until the Emperor, its master, sues
tor peace. To those who have watched the
progress of the war, nothing appears more
STRIKING than the extraordinary promptitude
of the Prussiap movements. From first to
ton. The plan Of operation must have been
clearly defined before a single man was moved,
or a single shot was fired The distribution
Of the troops, the roads which they were to
traverse, the length of time which each oper-
alton was to oc7upy, must have been accu-
rately foreseen, and the most admirable ar
r4ugements must have been made tor prOcur-
ing and forwarding TO the front the necessary
supplies. In order 60 move an army of 2OO,-
600 or 800 900 men, it is not enough that
ample supply of food ammunition, aud cloth
ing should be provided somewhere. The nec-
cessary amount of such material must be at
the par ticular spot and at the particular hour
at which they may be required. The Prus-
sian army is obviously Commanded by brave
and intellgent officers in the field !; but be-
sides this, it is equally obvious that the CHIEF
OF Staff and the Commissary General must
possess the highest capacity tor organization
aud arrangements.

TORNADO IN MINNEsoTA.-One of the most
fearful tornados that ever visited st. Pau, /,
Minnesota, swept over the city last week,
lasting about three quarters of an hour. A
number of buildings were injured. and a DR..
Schell fatally hurt. The scene, however,
which created the greatest conservation, and
threatened to result the most seriously, was
at Howe's Consolidated Circus, which was in
full blast when the storm came up, with
between two and three thousand persons in
the tent. Before any one had began 60 think
of danger, the Immense canvass was hurled
upon the heads of the inmates, burylDg them
all in one confused mass. The lights being
extinguished by the fall, the state of affairs
existing there was one which is seldom seen
in lifetime. The tent of. the great circus
was cut in shreds, and the audience, which .
few minutes before were enjoying the per
formance under shelter, had . delightful
shower bath, free of charge. .s.,,,.s,,

/ DEATH OF KITTY KENTUCK"- Saturday
morning Mrs. Catherine Touro, alias Callahan,
but better known as Kitty Kentuck was
found dead, on the floor of a shanty she had
, erected in the ''Bight after her residence was
burned by theigreat fire. As there were some
marks of violence upon her body, and as her
son, Michael Callahan, was the first one to report
the death at the Police Office, it was deemed
prudent to take him into custody until a coro-
ner's jury had investigated the matter
Coroner Gould was summoned and proceed
ed to hold an inquest after impanelling the fol-
lowing jurors: Stephen Emerson, Henry CALI
G.. Hayes. Stephen ID. Hall.
The jurors were in session all day. 1t was
in evidence that her son Michael had abused
and beat her ON two occasions a day or two be-
fore her death, and that she had complained of
it. 1t was also in evidence that she was very
drunk Friday night, having drank half pint
of whiskey at one draughti also that Mike was
intoxicated that night -df ura
The jury Saturday evening returned a yer-
dict that she came to her death from excessive
use of intoxicating liquors and from abuse and
beating by her son Michael Callahan. ~
Upon the rendition Of the verdict Coroner
Gould ordered Michael into custody, to await
an examination before the Municipal Court.
The deceased has borne notorious character
