A cloudy pillar of fire has
descended in Illinois. Reach
ing the earth six miles west of
Mason city, it passed with slow
and cautious movement over a
space of three miles in length
by 20 to so feet in width, the
very blackness Of darkness
whirling, seething, and emit
ting fanny. electric discharges
like the cracking of thousand
muskets-when it suddenly
dissolved, like the baseless fab
ric Of a vision !; but unlike that,
leaving an immense wreck be-
hind. Along its whole path
way of three miles, not a stalk
of corn, not a spear of wheat,
not a blade Of grass, not a
shrub, not a particle Of vegeta-
ton was left alive. Everything
in its track was scorched and
dried to a crisp, and in some
parts the earth itself was torn
mp to the depth of ssix inches.
Five feet outside the track Of
this Enprecedent cyclone, ev.
erything was fresh aMd green.
No house, fortunately, was in
its way. If it had occurred in
the night, it would doubtless
have had the appearance OF fire.
1t took place on Friday hAOrn-
ing, June 2.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

The platform of the Iowa
Democracy, adopted by the
State Convention, held last
week, is substantially the same
platform adopted by the Dem
ocracy of Ohio and Pennsylva-
MIA. The Iowa Democracy
recognize that a change has
been effected, and have taken
q bold advance position. They
determined that they will not
fight the campaigns of 1871
and 1872 upon questions which
were live ones only in the past.
The Democracy of the entire
country seem determined that
the Radicals shall no longer re-
tain power by raising false is
sues, thus preventing the peo-
pie from passing judgment on
the baneful Legislation of Con
gress and the corruption of
Grants Administration.

MOoted Indictment Of Phil Sheridan for
Military Excesses.
VIII Gov. Palmer Endorse Martial
Law?

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2.-The Republican has
special from Springfield, which says Gov
Palmer has sent an official letter to Attor-
ney General Bushnell, directing him to take
steps to procure the indictment of Gen.
Sheridan, Col. Frank ]. Sherman and
others engaged in the killing of the city
prosecuting attorney, GrosyenOr, and Other
unlawful acts during the military occupa-
ton of Chicago.
The report that part of the 9Th United
States infantry have been ordered to Chi
cago for duty is not credited at Springfield
as Gov. Palmer has made no requistiol on
the Secretary of War for troops, and it is
not believed they would be sent except upon
his request.
CHICAGO, Nov. Pin explanat tion OF
the statements contained in dispatches to
the morning papers from Springfield that
the War Department had ordered four COM
panies of United States regulars to this
city it is proper to state that the companies
are ordered to the barracks here for the
winter as the headquarters of the army OF
Missouri, the same as companies are sta
toned at other Government barracks
throughout the country and it has no re-
ference whatever to any local use for these
soldiers.
In reference to the further rumor in the
same dispatches that Gov. Palmer had au-
thorized or Ordere& Attorney General Bush
nell to procure indictments of Gen. Sheri-
dan, Col. Sherman and others, for the mur-
der of Col. Grosvenor, it is only necessary
to say that neither the Governor nor the
Attorney General have any legal authority
TO do anything of the kind. E

~rHE RAGE FoRFALsE DIAMONDS,

The New York Tribune calls attention to
the mania that displays itself in an exhibi
ton of bogus diamonds on the person.
After telling us that il is not uncommon to
see diamonds-or what purport to be such
in the ears Of shop girls, or in the bosom
fronts of stable boys, and that the conse-
quence is that this class ofjewelry, eXpen-
sive when real and gaudy when false, has
been given up by the majority of honest
folks, bearls being worn instead. The Iri-
b1ule. ads: E...
"Atificial diamonds are made of pecu
liar glass called strass. This glass has
property of refracting light in the same way
as the diamond, and its manufacture has
been carried to such perfection that an or
dinary observer cannot distinguish gems
made Of il from real diamonds. After
few years these diamonds tend to crystalize,
50 that in ten wears they become turbid and
lose all their lustre. These stones, however,
can always be distinguished by practical
lapidary by various tests, such as hardness
and pecularities in the cutting. Diamonds
are also initiated by a system called
splockage, in which very thin
slab of diamond is cemented to some
stone, such as quartz or white topaz. Other
real stones, such as zircon and topaz, when
they are c0lorless, or only slightly colored,
are passed off as diamonds. tits generally
supposed that diamonds are white, but they
are of all colors, False diamonds are made
almost entirely in Paris. Alaska and Cali
fornia diamonds are only quartz or rock
quartz.
"The above facts about false diamonds,
etc, if generally known, would have the
effect of diminishing the wearing by Ameri-
cans of the real diamonds, just as imitation
gilt iewelry is now diminishing the use OF
real gold ornaments among people of good
taste and refined culture"

ALICE oARY,s ONLY LOVER.

Mrs. Mary Clemmer Ames writes TO the
New York Independent as follows:
"In the profoundest sense Alice Cary
never loved but once. The man whom she
loved is still alive; yet gossip, with its keen
est scent, has never found or named him.
With all her fullness of affection, hers was
an eclectic and solitary soul. He who by
the very patent of his being was more to
her than any other mortal could be might
pass from her life, but no other could ever
take his place. a proud and prosperous
family brought all their pride and power to
bear on son 70 prevent his marrying girl
uneducated, rustic, and poor. 4 waited for
one who never came back, she said. Yet
/ believed he would come till j read in a
paper his marriage to another. Can you
think what life would be, loving one, wait
ing for one who would nerer GOMEZ
'He did come at last. | saw him. His
wife had died. Alice was dying. The
gray-haired man sat down beside the gray
haired woman. Life had dealt prosperous
" with him, as it is wont with men. Suf-
fering and death had taken all from her
save the luster of her wOndrous eyes.
From her wan and wasted face they shone
upon him full of tenderness and youth
Thus they met with life behind them-they
who parted plighted lovers when life was
Young. BE was the man whom she for
gave for her blighted and weary life, with a
smile Of parting as divine as ever lit the face
of woman"
