THE FLORIDA CYCLoNE.-Will. Wallace
Harvey, who is well known in Louis
vile, recently wrote description of q
cyclone in Florida, where he now re-
sides, with an admirable piece of word
painting. He says 1.-The wrath of this
tempest is glorious to look upon. The
air was in swift, dark gray stresks of rain
almost parallel to the earth, resolving, at
little distance, into dark gray solid
bank. These threads of rain seemed
knotted to every object, tree, house,
fence, land and lake, and drawn to ex-
IRENE tension, as if some fierce, invisible
power had wrought the nimblc atoms
into iron gray strands, and was pulling,
pulling with irresistible might, to draw
earth, air, wood and waterinto the fierce
/ vortex of its irresistible force. Every
| thing shook and trembled under it, till
the house and solid land felt throes, like
those OF little steamer, quveFing under
1 the fierce energy of immense, over-pow-
erful engines Everything seemed In
motion swift hurried, dangerous mo-
I ton. As one In car sees the land ap-

IHE TEMPERANCE IN QUEsrloN.-The
temperance men of this aud other States
who believe that the ends at which they aim
can only be reached by political action may
learn lesson from the policy pursued in
Michigan. In that State law was passed
making liquor dealers responsible for the
consequences of putting the cup TO their
neighbors' lips. The temperance men, hay-
Ing secured this law, at once organized to
secure Its enforcement, and they have con.
Quoted the campaign so vigorously that the
| liquor-sellers In many places are clamorous
for truce. In one town all the hotel and
saloon-ketpers have agreed to be bound by
the following rules and regulations ia The
sale OF liquors, wines aud beer.
81. No liquors to be sold to mluo,s

heavy upon them that the law requires
them to be at great expense In putting

A FEARFUL REPORT.
The servants at the TIemont house
were in the top story Of the hotel at the
time of Its conflagration, and as none o.
them have been seen since, 1t Is feared
that they were burned to death. There
were about forty of them.
