LET IT BE UNDERsrooD-It is a we'll un,
derstood principle that the democracy op.
pose all monopolies; let them declare in
their next county Convention that they are
in favor of sending men to the Legisla'
ture who will be in favor of reducing fare
on the Pacific Railroad one-half, also the
freight charges in like proportion. This in
famous monopoly is eating out the sub
stance of the people and the Company is
buying up other railroads in order to
own the State politically and financially
We have warned the people Of this some
time ago. and We perceive that even the
Sacramento Union is getting alarmed. 1t
is time! And it is also time that every
citizen, be be Democrat or Republican
should wake up to this question.
We are we'll aware that Conness, Crocker
e. Co., have got active workers in the Radi
cal ranks that are at work to carry out their
deep designs 1t has heen ntimated to u:
that some Of these agents may even
get into the Democratic ranks and try aDc
do work for the railroad, and assist in
its dirty schemes. We have no positive in
formation on this head, but if we get any
we shall be very free to publish it. We viii
denoupce and expose them without stint OF

TERRIBLE TORNADO ON THE MIS-

A correspondent of the Vicksburg Herald
describes tornado which swept over the eoun.

He says:
One OF those terrible phenomena, a water
spout, which appals the heart of the stoutest
passed through this neighbo1hoed on Friday
evening, February lst. 1t came from the west
crossing from the Louisiana shore at the Nor.
gan plantation, sweeping through Island 81,
making line through the timber some four
hundred yards wide, and striking with full force
the residence of Mrs. E. r. Nelson. In mo-
ment every building on the plantation was pros
trated, fences blown down, and everything that
offered resistance to its fury swept away. The
rails of a fence, for a considerable distance,
were blown probably for mies-as they have
not been found on the plantation. A gentle
man who witnessed its passage through Island
81, says he distinctly saw trees that had been
wrenched from their trunks, hundreds of feet
in the ar.
The residence was apparently only touched
by the outer portion of the column, but one row
of the quarters and some other buildings were
struck with full force, and the earth for con-
siderable space-over two hundred feet-eives
evidence of tornado Of water having passed
over it, removing everything and hurting
through the air heavy pair of timber wheels
for the distance of sixty yards. Bricks have
been found hundreds Of yards from the dwell

was carried in an opposite direction to the
course Of the wind some ninety feet, overturned
and smashed, and the mules lying partially IN.
der the wagon. could name many incredible
things that must be seen to be believed.
Would to heaven [ had only to recount the
destruction Of property in this communication.
Mrs. Nelson has large family Of children and
grandchildren, numbering in all eleven. When
Dir Samuel Nelson saw the dwelling would be
struck by the approaching tornado, he called to
all the family to leave the house, but unfortu-
Dately, some of the younger members were in
the interior Of the house, and Mrs. Nelson, ever
wstcbful over her bel pless flock, went in pur-
suit of them, and they were found, after The
storm bad passed off, buried under the fallen
timbers within few feet of each other. Mrs
Nelson only lived half an hour. The two chIl.
dren found under the bricks of a fallen chin
ney, one of them seriously injured. Every
member of the family were more or less injured
Mr. Baldwin Marshall's plantation, four miles
from Raymond, was also visited by the tornado.
1t swept away the workmen's quarters, killing
negro woman and child, eighteen head of cattle,
four mules and horses; carrying one of the out
houses two miles of. The corncrib was blown
away, not leaving vestige Of corn. Mr. Mul-
lens residence was blown away. Up to last ac-
counts he had not found it. One portion of the
town of Raymond struck by the tornado,
and the residence of Mr Robinson lifted from
the foundation. The current is supposed TO
have been about one-eighth of a mile in width.

A CALCULATING BRIDEGROOM.

/ I've known some very mean men in my time
There was Deacon Overreach; now he was sc
mean he always carried hen in his boz
hen he travelled, to pick up the oats his horse
wasted in the manger, aud lay an egg for his
breakfast n the morning. And then there was
Hugo Himmelman, who made his wife dig po
tatoes to pay for the marriage license. | must
one, and good stories, like potatoes, aint as
plenty as they used to be when was boy
Ii ugo is neighbor of mine though consider
ably older than be, and a mean neighbor he
is, too. Well, when he was going to get mar
red to Gretchen Kulp, he goes down to Parson
Rogers, at Digby, to get license.
"Parson, said be, "what's the price of a
license?"
''Six dollars" said he.
"Six dollars" said Hugo; "that is a dreadful
sight of money! Couldn'. you take less?'
"No,' said be, that's what they cost me at
the Secretary's Office at Halifax"
"Well, how much do you ak for publishing
in church, then?"
"Nothing," said the Parson.
"Well," said Hugo, that's SO cheap, [ can't
expect to get any change back. think I'll be
published. How long does it take z"
"Tbree Sundays"
"Three Sundays" says Hugo, "well, that's a
tlulc tOO Dut tulce Uuly MAKE
fortnight after all; two for the covers and one
for the inside like; and six dollars is great
amount Of money for poor man to throw away"
So off he went jogging toward home, feel
ing about as mean as new sheared sheep, when
all at once bright thought came into his head,
and back he went as fast as bis horse could car
ry him.
"Parson," said he, Give changed my mind
Here's the six dollars; I'll tie the knot to night
with my tongue that 1 cannot unite with my
teeth"
"Why what in natur' is the meaning of all
this?"
"Why," said Hugo, "Tve been 'cipherin' it
out in my head, aud it's cheaper than publish
ing after all. You see, sir, it's potato aiggin
times; if wait to be called in church, her faith
er will have her work for nothing, and as hands
are scarce and wages big, if marry her tonight
she can begin to dig our own tomorrow, and
that will pay for the license, and just seven
shillings over; for there aiu't man in all Glenn
ents that can dig and carry many bushels in
day Gretchen can. And, besides, fresh
wives, like fresh servants, work like smoke at
first, but they get saucy and lazy after while"
