The New York World, of Monday,
says: "One of the heaviest tempests of
this stormy season set in early yesterday
morning. It extended along the entire
Atlantic coast. In this city and neigh.
borhood, much damage was done to
houses and shipping, and several painful
casualties occurred. The tide rose so
high on the East side of the city, that
the cellars along South street were filed
with water, and Fulton market was par
tally submerged. Houses were blown
down, and the roofs sent whirling
through the air in all directions. The
fall of portion, of the wall of the burnt
Phelan & Collendar building, in Crosby
street, came near crushing to death the
passengers of passing horse car. In
Brooklyn young lady, Miss Ellen Greed,
aged nineteen years, was dashed to the
sidewalk by the wind, an5 with such
force as to wound her head and cause her
death in two hours. A more serious &C.
cident took place in West Forty sixth
street, West of Eleventh avenue. A
badly constructed tenement house fell,
crushing q small one-story house by its
side, and killing whole family, consist
ing of q man, his wife and three chill
dren. Tho distressing calamity occa-
stoned much feeling in the upper part of
the city, and attracted large crowds of
people to the spot"

The bill for the enforcement of the
laws in Ireland has been passed by the
House of Commons, with an opposition
amounting comparatively to no opposi-
tion whatever. It is one of the strongest
coercive bills of modern times. It sub.
stantially places the Whole country under
martial law, and gives the local authori-
ties almosti unlimited powers, in certain
cases, to suppress riot. outrage and re-
sistance to the laws. 1t also provides for
very rigid censorship of newspapers.
The New York Express characterizes this
as Napoleonic measure. The bill is. no
doubt, designed as n powerful blow
against Fenianism, and in opposition to
the alleged practical workings that have
cropped, or we're likely to have cropped,
out of that sentiment and its banded
supporters. The growth OF this organi-
zation, the manifold disorders to which
it is said its progress had led, and a
spirit generally evinced which boded no
good to peace and order in the future,
are the pretexts the British Government
have availed themselves of for these
stern repressive measures How will the
Irish people receive this bill? is the
question upon every lip.

No act of the French Emperor since
his accession to power has given such
general satisfaction in France as the
writing of his late letter to NJ Olivier,
urging the completion of the constitn-
tionnl reforms. He has undoubtedly
gained more popularity thus than he
lost since the failure of his Mexican
policy. The Steele Opposition orgap)
pronounces the latter an antidoto to the
coup d'etat. The De6ats Opposition
accepts 1t as restoration of the parlia-
mentary regime, and the Orleanist party
are said to be warm in their approval Of
it.

stance-that IS, organic-7nd the I'M
ference is that good part oft comes
from the decomposition of our own
bodies as the process of life goes on. at
any rate, we are breathing in this organic
matter pretty much all the time, OF, as
the Professor elegantly remarks. "Al-
though we do not see the nastiness, we
are churning 1t with our lungs every day
and minute of our lives. A very small
portion of it may be fatal to man. Among
this dust the germs Of disease often float,
until they meet their proper food in some
human body, whereupon they enter and
set up growth, Just as the acorn, does
when ii is cast into the soil Cholera,
scarlet fever and smallpox are believed
by some to be so propagated If this is
50, Professor Tyndall shows how by a
very simple eXpedient, the risk Of contag-
ion may be greatly diminished; for by a
respiratOr of cotton wool, these minute
particles of organic matter may be caught
and prevented from entering the system.
If the poison of disease IS a gas, this
contrvance would have no effect; but
Professor Tyndall thinks it is not, and
that such respirator viii give fhc air

state of purity equal to that ofthe highest
Alps At all-eYents. he say he should
not be afraid to test its efficacy in his
own person, and would feel reasonably
secure in that case, from the danger Of
infection.
All this speculation grows out Of the
scOrching of a few notes in beam Of
light; and though the positive inforna-.
non contributed to science by this lecture
Of Professor Tyndall, in which he de-
sCrbed his experiment and inference, is /
but small, it will set everybody thinl1ing
about the matter, and will add another
to those already current IN
favor of fresh air and thorough ventila-
ton. We wish it might also give our
city authorities a hint about getting rid
of the smallpox; but if not, it ought to
show them, and all other filnctionVries,
that Of all the diseases that threaten the
public health the worst are those that
spring from foul air and oVercrowded
lodging-houses, in which the floating
dust becomes a blood poison as fatal as
the famous powder of succession, of
French and italian renown.

/ In an article in the last A05zh imez-
iran Rl51szg, Chas. T. Adams, IT,, ot
Boston, expresses. his opinion of the
/ railroads and other mOnOpolies as fol
lows:
| Our political system cannot much long
( er sustain the conflict with corporations.
/ Modern civilization has created a class
of powers which arc too strong for the
| government. The machinery of com-
bination and perpetuity is too perfect
! The failure in this matter IS IN some de
gree foreshadOWed by the past Once

ment, and it could only be thrown off by
the CONFUSION of civil war. On one
other occasion the government became
involved IN ascouhict with private cor

country was disturbed Both of these
were the episodes of earlier and simpler
days. What is the aspect of the pres

" owned by corporations within their
limits. New York Is governed by two

States is struggling painfully with half
dozen, great combinations Of private and
corporate interests, and no well-inforna-
ed man doubts that to-day It is in the
power of any one Of them alone to die
tate to the national government any pol
icy it may desire, and to compel its
adoption. The simple fact is, that on
the people who with us are the source of
all power, these combinations, through
their material influence and their power
to create or allay disturbance, exercise
more control than officials and reform
ers combined How, indeed, could it be
otherwise? Compare the things of to-
day with those of yesterday The Uni
ted States Bank, in the days of its great
est. pride, boasted a capital of S35 900,
600. The slave power was welded to-
gether by nine hundred millions Of prop
erty, but controlled only one section Oh
the country and could be combatted in
another. The Bank was overthrown
through its own folly after a nine years
struggle; the destruction Of slavery was
accomplished after twenty-five years of

There IS a charm about a handsome
little women, one of those beflte. .gossips
that always carries a man by storm, no
matter whether he is old or Young. The
tai stately lady, looking a queen in her
attire and Inein, impresses you with awe
aswel as admiration. She is calm. and
speaks methOdically, and saunters slow
ly and so quietly along that you scarce
~ note her progress. If she has Il lover
she never allows him to go beyond the
bounds of a mere speaking acquaintance,
and, if married, and a mother, she fon-
dies her child in public, at least, as if
she was its aunt, come from long way
off to look at, but not Caress it, for fear
its little wee fingers would disturb a col
lar or pluck one of those frigid flowers
from her bonnet.
All is different with little women. If
they want charitable subscription, you
can give it out the moment they enter,
for they never leave without it. They
go at you with a rush, know you in a
minute, and, so long as you are a gentle
man, they will rattle along, gossipping,
chatting of fashions, music and business
in way that makes old hearts pinch
and ache to be young again. They have
no false dignity. IF they want to run,
they run they toss a baby as if he was
a cat, sure, if he fell to alight on his feet
without harm. and if clothes are ruff1ed
or ribbons pulled away, they don't care,
for little woman never looks any other
way but handsome, dress herself as she
will. And how they coaXl They are
veritable lawyers TO argue and dispute
you with the coolest audacity, laugh at
your arguments, and, as a last resort,
put on 'pout'' that is a clincher on
anything belonging to the human fami-

A little woman never lives to old maid
enhood. They can't help but marry, for
they have to do it to keep the peace, and
settle the veXed question among their
adorers. Where a handsome tall wo-
man waits for one lover, the little befifs
runs away with the hearts of twenty

They are born to attract attention, and
they know it. and how they sympathize
Let child fall on the walk and the little
woman rIbs off the dirt, adjusts the
clothing, chases away the tears, and
rattles on with "poor child, "nice boy,

the urchin dream every night for a month
of fairy forms and angel beings. If
sick, the form of little woman is like
sunbeams, her little boy is all over the

Little men are ridiculed by the female
sex, and they do look odd. but little wo-

But the question may be asked, how
can duties be remittcd and At the same
time increase the revenue? l have
shown, in a former letter, and a little
thought will teach any one that. as pro
lection on articles. We produce rebounds
to the benefit Of the producer at home

producers aboad and So reduces the
revenue. The little Congress don't know
much, but It knows this

ed, SI5, ,625, 900. Now let us see how
Congress can remit taxes on fifteen and
half millions, and by so doing benefit
the people SI27, 100000.
The total value of Noolen fabrics is
some S25o, ,ooo, 900 the average rate of
duty IS upward of seventy per cent. If
the cost of these goods is enhanced to
the consumer only sixtE per cent, the
people pay an annual tax on one Of the
prime necessaries Of Gleef SI5o. 600, 900.
Were the duty lowered 0He-a aalf-to tlir-
ty-five per cent.-the h3ss of revenue
would be 81 900, 600. The revenue from
pig-iron IS 81 100000, EWhile the duty
causes an increase Of price to the people
of 81 ,OOO, 900. The revenue from hides
and material entering into the manufac-
ture Of boots and shoes IS s., 500, 900,
while the increase on the cost price of
these articles, caused by the tariff, is over
$40, ,oOo, 900. The revenue from salt IS
81 ,ooO, 900. The annual consumption is
at least a busheI per head Of population,
and the increase Of price caused by the
tariff is fifteen cents per bushel. Con
while the people are taxed

Cincinnati previous to the war was about

eight cents currency. The revenue from
lumber is 81, ,262, 900, while the enhanced
cost of it, due to the tariff, is $40 900, 600.
1t is thus shown how Congress can re-
nit some fifteen and a half millions of
revenue now derived from protection, |
and by SO doing relieve the people to |
