TIE GREAT GLE.

Willie the miners of Avondalc were bringing
ont the. bodies of their comrades from the
deadly pit on Wednesday evening, disaster
of another kind, frightful in its nature but for
tunately not so destructive of human life, was
sweeping over our orth-Eastern shore. A
storm of almost unexampled violence devas-
tated belt of country stretching from Con-
necticut to Maine, and very probably its
ravages at sea may have been worse than on
land We cannot tell the extent of the dam
age for the telegraph wires were all Frustrated,
and are not yet entirely repaired, and the
losses ut sea may not be known for many
days. In Providence a great number OF build.
ings were thrown down or seriously damaged,
and a rising of the river flooded the houses in
the lower part of the city, so that the inmates
were removed from the windows in boats.
Seven or eight persons are reported killed, ana
the losses will probably amount to at least
S200O,OOO. At Boston fortunately the tide was
out and the harbor was not exposed to the
full fury of the blast, so there was no flood.
Only one person was killed in that city,
though the Boston newspapers speak Of men
being blown out of stable-lofts, and whirled
about the streets like so many dead leaves.
Church steeples were toppled over, and crashed
through the buildings below them. Houses
were unroofed, trees were torn up by the roots
cars were lifted from the track q Methodist
church was entirely demolished, normal
school building was destroyed, all the streets
were strewn with ruin, and in the
harbor vessels were driven from their
mOorngs and dashed against each others
sides. The Common was shockingly disfgured,
many of the finest trees being utterly
ruined, while nearly all were stripped of their
foliage. The frog pond was dashed into fury
and large limb was torn from the famous
old elm, which any Bostonan would rather
part with leg than lose. We are gratified to
learn that police officer was promptly placed
on guard over the sacred fragment, to protect
it from relic-hunters. In this, however, he was
not entirely successful,s for all the leaves and
twigs were stolen, and at latest advices the
officer was standing over bare branch. The
worst disaster of all was the destruction of the
Coliseum. AT half-past six the east end gave
way with a tremendous crash the west end fol-
lowed, and the monster roof was lifted off and
blown into fragments. The festival decOra-
tons which still draped the walls were de-
stroyed; the famous Jubilee organ is total
loss; The big drum is no more Almost every
town in Eastern Massachusetts, has suffered
severe damage. The coast of Maine is Uttered
with wrecks, and here there has been sad
loss of life, though the full particulars are not
yet known. In Portland, the spre of the new

was blown down, crushing n house. and the

In no department of labor is the wonderful
progress OF the present day more manifest than
in our textile manufactures. Two hundred
years ago cotton was actually unknown in
England, the goods which bore that name be-
ing composed of wool or flax Then the spin
ming jenny had never been dreamed of. The
old weavers beam and shuttle, the same az
described in the book of Job, were still in use
and had not yet been converted by the magic
touch of Arkwright into the complex machinery
of modern times. Hand-weaving to-day is still
practiced by many Oriental nations. The Hin
doc, seated on the ground with his legs in a
hole, and the welt of bis muslin tied to the
branches of couple of trees throws his shut
tie with skill that in the end produces the
most beautiful muslin or calico; but yet such
is the superiority obtained by the use of ma
chinery that the cotton grown on his native
plain can be brought 10000 miles, cleaned,
spun, woven. dried, packed, and carried back
again, and then sold in the province where its
woolly fiber first silyered the bud, at less
plce than that of the cloth produced by the

the place of the rod, and there VIII De no
more scolding and ill-temper In short, we
can imagine no more useful apparatus, whether
in the family, the school-room, the college, or
we may add, in the church, for we assume
that the process will act as beneficentiy upon
adults as upon children, and we see how easy
it will now be to reform mankind. MISSION
aries can make short work with the heather
and Gen. Grant need only send good supply
of machines out to the Plains, when the Indians
will fall into most peaceable frame Of mind
and quietly sit at the feet of the Broad

If the discovery had only been made during
the days of Slavery, a planter might have
given his darllies a good shock in the morn
ing and they would have gone to work with
out the least necessity for an overseer. Bu
we see a triumph in the immediate future o.
the most important nature, for it is one which
cannot fail to put an end to many of our Difficult

The spirit of the resolution of the Assistant
Aldermen in honor of the Harvard crew is
better than its style, and so we are glad
it has passed, even though it subjects the gal
liant oarsmen to the attentions of City Hall
Committee We should have been sorry if the
young men who have done themselves so much
credit abroad, and who represent the best re-
suits of certain kind of American culture,
had been allowed to pass through New-York
without some sort of an official compliment
A popular welcome certainly awaits them, and
it will be quite as sincere and cordial as if
they had made their four miles six seconds

We print herewith a letter from Gettysburg,
Pa, indicating the Battlefield Memorial As
ISOLATION for its late effort to have the positions
and lines of the great battle properly fixed
and indicated in the presence of officers who
fought on either side in that struggle.
The vindication is perfect, but we cannot
realize that it was needed. Whatever NAV
have been the motives or objects of this or
that promoter of the gathering, the movement
was wise and timely, and the result is worthy
of all acceptation. Hundreds of thousands will
yet visit that battlefield, and will better COM
prehend the battle because of the landmarks
just established. Wherefore, let the heather
rage.

The loss of life by the Avondale disaster is
happily less than at first reported, 10 being
the full number of the dead. That includes
all who were at work inside when the fire
broke out, and the two who sacrificed them
selves in the effort to save their comrades.
But there are SO widows and 100 orphans in
the most pitiable restitution, crying for imme-
date relief, and we trust the efforts already
making to raise a fund for their benefit will
be zealOusly continued. We shall be happy to
receive contributions at THE TRIBUNE office,
