Working Badly.

Granite order regarding the enforcement
OF the ku-klux law, which was issued to the
CON manding officers several weeks since,
and which it was foudiy hoped would bring
to light prolific crop of Southern ou.rRFes,
is working badly, having, as yet, furnished
nothing whatever upon which can be based
a pretsxt for declaring martial law. The
officers have doubtless been very vIgilant in
hunting up outrages, hut the War Depart
ment is yet to receive the FIRST report OF any
violation of the law, Of which they can take
cognzanoe. 1t may yet turn out that the
ku.klux bill, which was intended TO operate
IN favor of the radical party, will result to
their disadvantage, inasmuch as it deprives
their emissaries of the opportunity for man

were wont to send North to the discredit of

"Aw, Z Beg Pawdon !"

Bon Piatt is responsible for the following
incident, which he relates in Washington
letter TO the Cincinnati Commercial:
The latest story that is going the rounds
here is told of one of the second Joints, as
the Secretaries we're called TO distinguish
them from the High Joints. This was an
elegant youth, rather slender and tall, whose
talk began aud ended in One short sentence
which said, Jaw, beg yr pawdon," which
drawled out has very pleasing result, and
Is being generally initiated by oar tree born
youths of America about Washington.
II seems that this sprig of English nobil-
Ity was invited TO pass some days at the
country house of a wealthy American, and
late at night before retiring, concluded to
take "a bath, you know and so, directed
by servant, he found his way TO the bath
room, and turning on the warm water, was
soon enjoying at full length the delicious
sense of an entire relaxation of his Aristo-
cratic person and repose Of bis aristocratic
intellect.
Unfortunately, the daughter of the house
also concluded 20 take dip in the tub, and
not knowing what their illus.rous guest
had Done TO himsel ( undressed in her room,
ran hurriedly along the hall for fear Of meet
ing some one, and darling into the bath
room, closed and locked the door. What
was her CONSERVATION to see head rising
lAnguidly from the tub, and voice exolaim;

She screamed q scream-I indulge in no

oeeded in opening the door, and fell fairting
IN the arms Of her frightened papa. SO soon

he could get in reply was

sulphurOus oyol one in Illinois.

A very destructive cyclone occurred
near Mason City, Illinois, last Friday June
I'd. AN Inky hued cloud or smoke like
column was observed gathering near the
earth surface on an opeu prairie SIX miles
rom that place, and from this column soon
shot out three narrower and spire-like cloud
columns, which continued to ascend rapidly
until they reached and seemed to Attach
themselves closely 10 passing cloud above
This frIghtful spparauon moved slowly
towards Mason City, but finally changed Its
course, much 30 the relief of the people OF
that place. A mile from its track al odor
much like that of burning sulphur was
inhaled by several persons. A gentleman
who stood out hundred wards from the
cyclone when 1t passed says that small
flashes of electricity were constantly visible
IN the storm column, passing from the earth
TO the clouds above, and that rapid popping,
cracking reports we're heard, reminding him
most foroibly of an infantry regiment in
battle firing their muskets as fast as posi-
Bile. The pathway of the cyclone was nearly
three miles in length and from twenty to
20 eighty feet in width, and in that pathway
not "a spear of grass, not a stslk of corn or
wheat, not q shrub, not particle of vegeta
tiou was left alive. For some distance the
earth was literally plougheG to the depth of
six. inches. The column Of whirling air
must base been intensely hot, as every green
thing in it's path was dried to crisp.
Another feature of the cyclone was that,
while Its rotary motion must have been Of
iuoonceivAbly great velocity. its progressive
motion was not above the rate of six miles
an hour. The outlines of its pathway we're
so we'll defined that five feet from the outer
line Of total destruction Of vegetation Of every
kind not vestige Of its effects could be
seen. Fortunately no house stood in the
tornado's limo Of march.

Friday EvsAing, June o. 1871.

In a late editorial, the New York Tribune
makes the statement that "the late action
of the Ohio State Convention scenes to us
foil Of danger TO the republican party
And we'll may il fear for no good, sound
reasoning republicans who read the resolu.
tions adopted at that convention, and
the speeches made by its leaders upon the
great vital Questions of the day car, fail TO
see that the democratic party in adopting
these resolutions plants itself upon the true
platform one that is Just aud right, and
fa7 in advance of that slow coAoh, radical
ism. Well may its fears be aroused for the
administration party which spends its time
in tawning upon its pet Ulysses, when the
entire democracy rises as one man and de-
clares itself for the right utterly repudiat
ing all dead Issues, and preparing to fight i
out on true democratic principles. The Ohio
Convention WAS the date of new era il
the annals of the democracy, new life anC
vigor have been infused into the party aut

their last fight and finished their course.
