Laying Bare Their Claws.

The writer of the following communi
cation to the New York Times is un-
doubtedly an intelligent exponent Of the
feeling INDUCED in by the entire Irish
Catholic element Of New York; and the
worst thing about his boasts is that they
are true:
After printing so much against the
Roman Catholics, and, more especially
condemning them for suppressing the
Orangemen, suppose you print little
OH the other side You people cry out
and say your liberty is invaded because
we refuse to allow the Orangemen to
parade. DO you consider that the sights
you enjoy you hold only on sufierance
from us? Did we not make the whole
city government OF New York? And
is it not right that we should say what
shall and shall not be done in this
city? Do we not make and unmake
the rulers here? And they must do
our bidding. About this parade of Or
| angemen, we, the Irish majority here,
did not propose to be insuted by the
exhibition of flags and mottoes that
were carried when we were defeated on
the Boyne, and we intimated to our
Mayor Hall whom we made and can
unmake, that he must stop it, and he
has done 80. In thus obeying our
orders he has redeemed himself from
the odium that has hitherto attached to
him by reason of his formerly being a
Know Nothing leader. You Americans
complain of this, but we could elect
Hall tomorrow by fifty thousand ma;
jority.
You may IS we'll understand it first
as last, that we, the Irish citizens, rule
New York. Some of our Irish leaders
have been endeavoring to keep us qui-
ct, and not assert our authority until
we can get more strength, aud then
from controlling New York, VIC can
grasp the reins of the government of the
United States. ask, "when shall We
be stronger?' Have we not the most
absolute control and power over every
officer in this State from the governor
down: Can we not always, by over
fifty thousand majority in this city,
carry the whole State? You Ameri-
cans talk Of putting US down. DO you
remember the way we stopped the
draft in this city: Do you claim that
you conquered Us then? Why we got
everything we started for. Did not the
draft cease? Did we not clean out the
niggers? You talk OF furnishing US.
Who have you punished Of all the
thousands that were OH our side in the
draft fights? l should like to see you
get our man Kelso to arrest any of us,
or our friend Judge Garvin to prefer an
Indictment against us. Garvin has
behaved well, and we propose to elect
him to the Supreme Court bench this
fall. His assistant, Mr.. Sullivan, will
take his place. We can rely on Sulli-
van. He hates you Yankees for locks
ing him up in Fort Lafayette during
the war. Besides he is an Irishman.

Hon e,tead Law-To illustrate that
the Homestead Law was great thing,
it was stated at late meeting Of the
farmers Club in New York, that a
young man and tho girl to whom he
was engaged, emigrated from the East,
each entering q homestead of l6o acres,
and as sana as the patents were obtain
ed, they married, and as result of
their native shrewdness, became the
wealthiest persons in their section.
This story was beat by another, Of 6
married couple who went to Oregon
when that State gave $40 acres to set
tiers; as they wanted to obtain all the
land they could, they got q divorce.
This enabled them to receive 800 acres
apiece, after whicl, they became revuit-
ed, and held $40 acres of land.

A Wonderful Phenomenon in Hi.
nois-A Fiery Whirlwind.

A Dispatch from Jacksonville Illinois
says:
Il most remarkable tornado occurred
in Mason county, near Mason City last
Friday morning. The first indications
were that Of dark cloud gathering
near the earth, about six miles west of
the city, but ere long it assumed the
shape Of huge boat, having three
distinct smoke stacks, or columns,
extending upward, and connected with
the clouds. This wonderful phenome-
non was fully charged with electricity,
and from these columns sparks were
constantly issuing, and making a noise
and cracking similar to the regular
firing of a thousand muskets. Although
the rotary motion of this fearful appari-
ton was such rs to tear up by the roots
all vegetation that lay in its path, its
progressive motion was not more than
five miles All hour, and 1t was watched
with fearful anxiety by the terror-strick-
eh inhabitants. Its path was from 20
to so feet In width, and about three
miles in length, and upon this space
nothing was left alive. Hedging was
burnt to crisp, green wheat and corn
was turned yellow, and prairie grass
presented the appearance of having
been pulled up aud dried in a two weeks
August sun. Just previous to the ap-
pearance Of the tornado, the air was
very sult:y, and its origin may probably
DC attributed to electrical influences :;
for, besides the heat and sparks which
it exhibited, it had all the appearance
OF the water spouts on the ocean. The
scene OF its destruction is being Wis
tied by hundreds, and II will at least
hrnish grand subject for scientific
Investigation.
| Another account says:
From great, black, smoky looking
column, the base Of which rested on the
'arth, shot up three distinct and well
defined but narrower and spire.lik
loud columns, which continued to as
tend until they reached and seemed to
,ttach themselves closely to q passing
tloud eastward directly toward Mason
City slowly, but constantly, for some
ffteen minutes then changed its course

An Underground Fire.

One OF the most remarkable fires Is
said to be raging underneath property
of considerable value almost in the cen.
ter of the town Of Sheffield, England.
The scene of this singular occurrence is
Trinity Works, Eyre street, where a
firm carried on the business ofmanufac-
turing cutlery and doing a general mer-
camille business. They let off large
portion of the premises to other persons
in the cutlery trade, and to Mr.. Wilson,
glass grinder also supplying their
tenants with steam power. In connec-
ton with the engine is an immense
boiler, thirty feet in length. For some
time past this boiler has been observed
to be gradually sinking, but this has
not gone on to so serious an extent as to
warrant a careful investigation. The
cause Of the subsistence was discovered
early few mornings since in most
singular manner. Mr.. Holden, the
engineer in charge Of the machinery,
raked his fires as usual on Saturday
evening Q7th), but on examining the
boilers some time afterward he found,
to his astonishmcnt, that the withdraw
al of the burning fuel had not had the
steam. This discovery was the cause of
much bewilderment, and the extraor
dinary generation of steam remained II
mystery. Mr.. Mastin, builder, was
for Il IF
tion made by him and others was that
layer OF shale in connection with a
seam of coal extending beneath the
works, and passing Immediately below
the boiler, was found to he on fire. A
number of men were at once set to work
to remove the burning material, but 1t
was found that the fire was not confined
to that particular spot. The excavators
have been engaged in the cellar below
that portion Of the building rented by
Mr.. Wilson, and the result Of their
labors was that a quantity Of burning
shale was removed. The seam Of coal
and shale extends beyond the works,
passing underneath an adjoining dwell
Iinghouse occupied by Mr.. Holden, the
engineer, and to the cottages on the op
posite side of Eyre street. the inhahit-
ants of which, state that they have
observed peculiar exhalatiun from
their cellars. The fire can only be
overcome by means Of the spade. Its
origin Is at present mystery. 1t must
have been raging for long period,
probably for some years. The boiler, Of
course, cannot be used, and operations
at the mandatory, at which about 400
men are employed, have consequently
been brought to a stand still.

torn in pieces by the angry elements
Alter moving some fifteen minutes lon
ger, suddenly the awful apparition dis
appeared, as if it had been but a vision
of dream.
AS fearful as was the appearance Of
this column of columns, more marvel
Gus, if possible, was its destructive work
upon the earth in its pathway. Not 9
spear of grass not stalk Of corn or
wheat, not a shrub, not a particle oI
green vegetation, was left alive. Had
the fires of heaven descended and fallen
In the pathway Of this tornado, as they
did on Sodon1, the destruction of every
living thing of the vegetable kingdom
could not be more complete. For some
distance in its path the earth was liter
ally plowed up to the depth Of six
inches. In passing over the unbroken
prairie, SO inconceivably rapid must
have been the rotary motion of the
wind Of the tornado, that the earth was
gathered up from the deep roots of the
prairie grass, and the turf, with its bare
roots as clean as if they had been wash
ed, was lifted from the earth and left
strewn in the storms pathway.--
Where the course OF the tornado led
through wheat field, every stalk Of
wheat standing in its path was torn
down and twisted into every conceiva.
ble shape, aud where an csage hedge
lay across its way, for the width Of its
path, the hedge bushes were torn into
shreds.
But the most remarkable phenomena
connected with this tornado il that the
column of wl'irling air must have been
intensely hot, as is shown by the fact
that every spear of grass, stalk of corn
and wheat, every green thing in its
path, were literally dried to crisp. The
prairie grass along the storms track,
which was luxuriantly green before the
tornado passed, was left as brown and
dead as it is found in mid winter. The
leaves Of the hedge where the tornado
passed across in its way, crumbled as do
the dead, dry leaves Of the forest after
tho blasting autumn frost has done its
work. The young corn, which stood in
its way, is as black as if withering fire
had passed through it.
Another feature of this tornado was
that, while its rotary motion must have
been of inconceivabIy great velocity, its
progressive motion was not above the
rate Of six miles an hour. The outlines
Of its pathway were so well defined that
five feet from the outer line of total dos
tuction of vegetation of every kind, not
a vestige of its effects could be seen-
Fortunately, no house stood in the way
of the tornado's line of march. 1t pass
ed between farm house and barn, hut
both escaped. It's onward movement
was SO slow that man or beast, if in
its way, could easily escape. The pro-
gressive motion of a tornado is usually
at the rate of forty to sixty miles per
hour the fact of this one moving at
the rate of only six miles per hour is
most remarkably. The path of tor
nado 10 usually quarter to a half a mile
in width this one was but twenty to
eighty feet in width.
