The Condition ofPar,s.

Gen. Geo. w. Clark writes to the
Register from Paris that the only
Chicago relief fund raised in that
city was by Americans temporarily
sojourning there. General Clark
continues:
"There is no comparison between
the calamities which have befallen
the cities of Chicago and Paris. The
latter, today, in material and COM
mercial point of view, is about as
well off as it ever was. All the prop
erty destroyed here during the siege
and Communal instruction has
been estimated at 100000, 900, and
that was nearly all Government
property. It consisted of palaces,
churches, theatres, monuments, etc.
This estimate also embraces the viii
lagos in the environs of Paris, which
were destroyed, but which were no
essential part of the city. The beauty
of the city has been sadly marred,
but its wealth not materially di-
minished. The individual losses
were comparatively light, except in
the interruption of business and the
high price of provisions during the
seige. Tosee the gayety of the pop
ulation now, as they fill the places of
amusement, and throng the boule-
wards of an evening, one can hardly
realize that a few months ago this
was the scene of bloody revolution,
while the city was surrounded by a
foreign foe.
The impression that Paris is in
ruins is a very erroneous one. 1t
contains a third more people and
twice the wealth of the whole State
of Iowa, but not half as many
Christians"

No NepOtism After All.

Grant is efficiently defended by the
Times of this morning from the
charges partizan Journals have made
against his personal character. 1t
positively asserts that mot dollars
worth of property has been given to
General Grant since he became Pres

Senaca Stone Company was pur-
chased in 1867 for $4,000, and "has
never paid him cent" 1t reviews
the famous list of "the Presidents
relatives appointed to Office, TWEEN
ty-five in number, so often published
by the SIN, and finds that thirteen
of them are not relatives of the Pres
ident at all, while several of the
others were appointed by his prede-
cessor. In short, although some of
the Presidents appointments are bad
enough, and one of the worst is that
of Mrs. Grants brother-in-law, Jas.
+. Casey, as Collector of New Or
leans, there is no reason for any
charge against him Of family consid-
erations in selecting officers; still less
of any corrupt or pecuniary motive
in his official acts"

ST. Louis was visited by severe
storm last Saturday forenoon, by
which some damage was done 10
buildings and other property. In
the afternoon indianapolis had it.
At LAFAYETTE, Indiana, by the same
storm, a large number of buildings
were unroofed, and several persons
were injured.
LOUISVILLE, Dec. 23.-About noon
TODAY a terrible tornado passed about
four miles below New Albany, Ind,
breaking down timber and destroy
ing 700 feet of trestle work on the
Ar Line Railway, infiicting dam
age of several thousand dollars. Two
men were on the road in a buggy IN
the track of the storm, and the horses,
buggy and men were lifted UP, ana
carried forty feet, but escaped unhurt.
The timbers Of the trestle were t"io'-
ed off like whip-cord.
The Report of the Chicago Keller
Committee, as published, proves
xerv incorrect-not giving credit for
anywhere near the amounts contrib
NED We hope there has been no
intentional wrong anywhere.

TIE GRAND CENTRAL HorEL.-These
modern days Of wealth and luxury de-
velop frequent enterprises that startle,
while they compel us into admiration.
A visit to Gotham" never fails to i'm
press this truth. The Grand Central
Hotel, on Broadway, New York, whose
palatial walls cover almost an entire
block, is notable instance of what
wealth, taste and enterprise can accom-
plish. Although themany descriptions
given of it are highly eulogistic, the
Visitor will find, like the Queen Of Sheba,
that the halt has not been told. In
richness of appointment and complete
ness of detail, not even the palace
Louvre of Paris, nor the far-famed
Lappham of London, can surpass: while
it surpasses them both in size and ca
pacity.
Under the management OF Il. L.
Powers, the proprietor, whose genial
sterling, administrative qualities fairly
claim him to its charge de affairs, with
his affahle corps Of gentlemen in the
office, there. is a quiet determine
ton to make this modern palace Of taste
and luxury outrank any other in the
world.
One would suppose from the appear
ance of the Grand Central that the in
come OF prince would be necessary t.
enjoy its hospitality, when, in fact III
prices are only from three to four dol
lars per day.

goods for gentlemen's wear. This stock

Hughes reputation as merchant tailor
extends all over this State, and to wear
a suit made at his establishment is a
guarantee Of its being of the best mate
rial, and faultless in fit and style.
