Now is the time to give
particular attention to the setting out of
shade trees. The importance of having
the streets and roads lined on each side
with overhanging and wide spreading
trees, is a question of more importance
than is generally supposed. Trees not only
give shelter from the hot burning sun in
summer, but also temper the cold air Of
winter, by acting as barrier to the strong
and sweeping winds that usually prevail
during that period of the year. In sum-
mer, the trees bring moisture from the
clouds and thereby prevent drouth and .
frying and cracking of the soil. After the
practical, comes the beautiful, and nothing
in nature is more 50 than we'll shaded
highway.
The following advice from the Miiwau.
kec Sentinel, is good in this connection !:
There are hundreds Of houses in this city
which little more attention than they re-
ceive would make beautiful. How often
do We see front yards neglected; yes,
filthy. The grass plat is cut with we'll
troddeD paths. or it is covered with rags,
trash, ashes, coal, or allowed to grow up
in weeds. Now, good friends, who are SO
fortunate as to own little home, you can
add much to the beauty of it, and much to
the happiness of your family if you will
give your yard a little attention. And let
US remark that he who does not admire the
rich carpet of green that good turf OF the
blue grass produces, is not worthy to live
in the blue, grass region. Why allow yards
to De trodden over until the ground is made
bare OF grass ? Again, by the expendi-
ture of few cents and with little labor,
say half an hour two or three times week,
flower plat can be made, and the yard
we'll adorned with the most enjoyable Of
all natures simple beauties. For fifty
cents. ten or dozen varieties of beautiful
aDnuas can be procured, which, for their
pretty bloom and sweet fragrance, are
worth fifty times the money paid for the
seed and the labor required for their GU IT,
vation. But this is another virtue which
flowers have, other than that of beauti
flying the home. The lady or girl that
loves flowers AMI enjoys their beauties,
cannot be coarse women in her feelings,
although she may bend over the wash>tub
for living. Beautify your homes. Let
the beautiful green grass enrich your yard
with its soft carpet, and plant flowers, that
,hei- beauty may please and educate your
family.

jacksonville, Ill, April 19.
A terrible wind and rain storm passed
over this part of the state yesterday after
noon, dong immense damage to houses
and fences In the little town of Ashland,
Cass county, few miles north of this city,
more tnan dozen houses were blown
down or unroofed. A school house. COM
pleted last fall at a cost of $4,000, was
blown over and literally torn to pieces.
One>h If of the roof was blown away from
Newman's Hotel, and good deal of dam
age done to the building.
At Petersburg, large Touring mill was
blown down, and fences in every direction
were laid fiat to the ground. A violent
rain storm, accompanied by lightning. has
prevailed here all day.
Ashland. ILL.,, April l9.
The tornado passed through here yester-
day, and blew down several dwelling houses
and new brick school house. Damage
from fire about $4,000. No one hurt, as
far as heard from.
St. Louis, April le.
The extremely sultry weather of yester-
day and this morning eliminated this afIe.-
noon In the most terrific hail storm that
has visited this region for many years.
The hail stones fell in most unprecedented
numbers and force, and varied in size from
that of a marble to that Of an English wal
nut. Thousands upon thousands of win
dows were broken, scarcely building with
western exposure escaping injury. Hun
dreds OF horses ran away, and regular
stampede occurred on the leyee, bat no
very serious results are yet reported. The
damage TO vegetation In the country must
have been very severe. The storm was
followed by very heavy fall of rain. A
very severe thunder storm also occurred
last night. the rain fell very copiousy dur
ing all the forenoon to~day. These storms
have extended generally throughout the
West, but, as tele graphic communication
cannot be ascertained.
Bloomington, April 10.
This city was visited, last evening, by n
wind storm which, for violence ard the
amount of damage inflicted by it, knows
no PRECEDENT in the history of this town.
The wind had been blowing quite strong
during the afternoon from the south, but
between five and six increased to perfect
hurricane, blowing down buildings, upset
ting and oyerturnng small out houses, and
doing vast amount of damage.
The new Catn' lie cathedral, which was
ieiI III dll unlniSneu cOnOltlOn iaSG 1aii,an
on which over thirty thousand dollars had
been expended, was blown down, and now
lies mass of ruins, completely blocking
Main street. A street car passing, heavily
loaded with passengers, narrowly escaped
being bnried in the ruins.
A new stable was also lsvcled to the
earth. Several dwelling houses in various
parts of the city were blown from their
foundations, and carried some distance
Balconies were blown from the residences
Of Capt. Roult and DR.. Psrke.
The whole amount Of damage done is
variously estimated at from forty to fifty

The velocipedes are exciting more stir in
the world than any other toy has ever sue
ceeded in doing. A Paris correspondent
writes that Micaux, the inventor, nearly
starved while he was trying TO introduce
the machine, and though it was only
eighteen months ago that he commenced to
sell seriously, he now works half thols-
and men and yet cannot supply the de,
mand. The New Workers complain that
the velocipedss in certain localities are be-
coming an intolcrable nuisance, and the
same will soon be true of other places. This
excitement about a machine that will prob
ably never subserve any other purpose
than that of amusement AMI heaithful ex-
ercise, is quito renarkabls.

Petty Spite.
From the Cincinnati Inquirer

From the Cincinnati Inquirer
We observe that Grant has removed
from small land office, in Greenyille,
Tenn, Andrew johnson, jr., a son Of the
late president. This act of petty spite to-
ward his predecessor this absence OF mag.
nanimity, which almost any other person
in this country would have observed--is
characteristic of the present president.
How poorly and meanly this contrasts
with the example of Gen. Taylor. When
he became president, in l849, he found a
son of his oppone t, Gen. Lewis Cass. the
minister of the United States at Rome.
Gen. Taylor continued him there during
his whole term. He declared that he
would not be guilty of an act which might
appear indelicate-which might subject his
conduct to misconstruction, and place him
in the attitude of being governed as presl
dent by leIsonaI feeling and resentment.
He therefore, left the son OF his late com~
petitor undisturbed in a most Important
Office There was in this action magnan-
Unity and delicarey worthy of Gen. Taylor.
Gen. Grant has none of it. There appears
to be nothing highninded or honorable In
his composition, but everything which Is
exactly the reverse.
