On the 10th inst, the town OF Ell.
dorado, In Kansas, containing about
1000 people, was demolished by tor
nado. The Walnut Valley Times,
extra, gives the following account:
Last evening Eldorado and sur.
rounding country was visited with
one OF the most terrific storms ever
known In this part of the State. -
About 8 o'clock In the evening a
storm came up from the northwest.
accompanied with wind, hail. and
rain, and before the people had time
to make any preparation for it, the
hurricane. swept through the town.
The clouds We're of inky darkness,
the vivid flashes Of lightning, accom-
panied by crashing thunder, caused
our citizens to feel that the storm
was of no ordinary magnitude. Ev.
cry moment the gale increased, and
rain came down In torrents the situ-
alton became more fearful. Every
momentary lull In the storm only
seemed to increase its fury, and, la
fifteen minutes from Its commence
ment, men, women and children
could be seen flying through the
streets. seeking protection from the
houses. BY this time tho air was
filed with flying timbers. Large
houses were completely demolished
others were unroofed, while others
were lifted from their foundations
and carried ty the wind from forty
10 two hundred feet, 4 And yet there
seemed to be no lull In the storm
As we stood by the window, gazing
outward, we could plainly see houses
toppling over. The roar of the storm
was terrible, and the earth seemed to
tremble beneath our feet. -~.~.5
1t was indeed the most terrific
spectacle we ever witnessed, and
hope we may never bea witness to
such scene again. s. ...... >t
We have been unable to get any
particular news from the surround
ing country, but for four or Ave miles
around, the same Wholesale destruc.
tion seems to be visible. Houses
were blown down, fences destroyed,
aud the crops ruined. Many Of our
people are left In destitute circum-
stances. s@ ..A @@r5t
Our town this morning presents
most woe-begone appearance. Peo-
pie who were in comfortable circums
stances yesterday, are to-day left
without anything. "tt" .t~t''.a "a
The storm, from the best informa.
ton We can get, did not extend very
far east or west Of town. Towanda,
eight miles west, was not damaged;
and chelsea, eight miles northeast,
had but one house blown down.
Augusta, twelve miles southwest, had
one house blown down.

In milk, were yielding each over %

Mr.. s. who has reached the age Of
53, is still hale and vigorous, and
watches every important matter daily
on the farm, but Is now inclined to
take life easier, and cultivate the So
cial virtues more than farmers once
thought practicable. Although In
his early life the common schools of
fered few advantages compared to
those of the present, yet he Is fully
Impressed with the benefits Of a
thorough eduration for the farmer. =
He thinks the farmers success de.
pends as much upon accurate BRAIN
work as that Of the engineer or build
er. A you see him In his pleasant
sitting room with books and the best
newspapers about him, or riding In
his easy carriage behind a sleek horse

helpmeet for 40 years--he wears his
honors so gracefully you would hard
ly suspect that he had spent so many
years in the severe toll of Telling the
giants Of our dense primeval forest.
But has this laborious life brought an
adequate return-has IL paid? The
answer to this question depends upon
ones ideas of compensation. In 35
years he has accumulated clear cap
ital of $4,000, reared family of sew
en- children, provided for their edu.t
cation at the Academy, aud has since
been providing for their prosperous
settlement in life. This has all been
accomplished by common, legiti-
mate farming-no outside strikes in
oil, or stocks, or asurious money
lending. And this, too, has been
accomplished in department of
farming thought by many to pay the
poorest-the dairy. There has been
no sudden infiowing of gold, but
honest industry has been rewarded
by a generous living. with the means
OF enjoying most rational pleasures,

small per cent. of mechanics, or mer-
chants ever command, and above all

An Indians Word Of Honor--Keepiug
his Parole and Meeting His Doom.

A gentleman of Jonesburg, Mo-,
recently returned from Texas, relates
an extraordinary occurrence which
took place a short time since In the
Indian Nation. A Choctaw Indian,
having committed a willful murder,
was arrested, tried and sentenced to
be shot TO death. He asked for twen-
ty days In which TO prepare aud visit
his friends, giving his werd of honor
as a "bravep to return ut the appoint
ed time, aud was allowed TO go forth
without guard or bail. 4. r......-
At the expiration of the twenty
days. according TO appointment, the
hour for the execution arrived. and
the Indian. true TO his word, at the
very hour aud minute, galloped up
to the place where the sentence was
"a, be carried out. In company with
three ofhis sisters and three broth
ers, all appearing as cheerful as
though, they had come TO dance or
frolic. The coffin was then brought
on the ground, but some one remark
cd that IL was too small, upon which
one Of the doomed Indians brothers
told him to lie down In IL and meas
urs, which be cheerfully did, and
laughingly said, ''It fits all right"
The crowd meanwhile appeared to
be In the most cheerful spirits, and
cracked jokes and laughed.
At last, when all was read
the doomed man was ordered
TO sit on the ground. A handker-
chief was then placed over his eyes
by his sister. While the sheriff held
one hand, one Of the condemned In
dian,s brothers held the other on
each side OF him. The deputy shsr-
ifY then stood In an old house, about
ten steps In front of the condemned,
with rifle. From some cause the
rids went Off accidentally, the bullet
passing up through the roof OF the
house. The Indian, believing he
wss shot. drew himself up and shud,

There are $4,000 acres under the pillow
