CONGRESSMAN GARFIELD ''rises to explain"
his vote in the back pay grab in letter ~ the
Cincinnati Times. He says he "does not
shirk any just measure of responsibility" for
the vote he gave. His constituents have just
measured the extent of that responsibility and
found the result. The sum of it is, they
request Mr., Garfield 10 RESIGN bis seat.

The Southern Tornado and the Great
Equinoctial Tempest.


The late storm proves to have been one of
the most remarkable Continental cyclones on
record. 1t originated !. tween the advancing
Spring currents from the Gulf and the north
erly Winter winds, which, at the period of
equinox, are in ceaseless and well-matched
struggle. The tornado of Friday night, whose
centre tore its disastrous way near Canton,
Miss, was, it appears only circumstance in
the vast general commotion which enveloped
every section east of the Mississippi River, in
preannounced by the Weather Bureau full day
in advance. The origin of the Southern and
Western tornadoes has been involved in much
uncertainty, but the present instance gives
clew to the explanation. The return
trade wind, which begins to blow from
the southwark in or about the thir-
tieth parallel at this season, is known
to be o rapid descending current; and as it is
forced northward, confined between meridians
which converge and gradually close in, it bursts
open for itself, in its fury, channel to the
North. The effect is similar to that of the
bore at the mouth of rivers, where the broad
and swift tidal wave is forced into a narrow
space as into cul-de-sac. The Friday tornado
must have had barometer nearly as low as
that of the celebrated Natchez tornado of Nav
z, 1910, when houses were blown, or rather
burst, outward, by the sudden removal of the
external atmospheric pressure, and over three
hundred persons killed. The fact that the
Canton meteor was in the evening and at
night and that the usual time of such phe-
nomena is from three O. clock in the afternoon
to nightfall, when the suns daily action on
the atmosphere has reached its maximum dis
turbing effect together with the brief duration
of the outburst-from two to five minutes
and the general track they pursue from SOUTH
west to northeast, all go to confirm the view
suggested by this most recent hurricane.
II yet remains to be seen whether meteorolo-
gists con bring these sudden and terrible tor
nadoes under the power of provision, as they
have done the great Continental tempests;
but, with ON effective and extensive weather
system. they may, no doubt, arrive ct their
philosophy, since Nature, like O coquettish
woman, disclosss her greatest secrets in her
angry and stormy moods. The fact that the
grand circular storm, of which the Missis-
sippi tornado was only an offshoot, occupied
more than twenty-four hours in making its
way from the Mississippi River to the sea-
board, gave ample time for forewarning ship
ping in the Atlantic ports, and proves the i'm
mense advantage the United States has for the
successful practice of forecasting the weather
The phenomenal rainy feature of the current
weather, which usually accompanies season
of frequent tornadoes, justifies the warning of
the weather-wise against stormy Spring.

The BANIsHMENT OF THE BoNAPARTEs FROM
FEANcE.-Prince Napoleon (Plon-Plon) has
again given proof that he is totally unfit to
represent and guard the interests of such a
family as the Bonapartes, especially under the
circumstances in which that family is placed.
His petition praying for the restoration of his
rights as o citizen and demonstrating against
what he considers his illegal expulsion from
France has resulted in worse than failure 1t
has led to the introduction of O bill into the
Assembly decreeing the Punishment Of the
entire Bonaparte family from France. 1t may
be found in the long run that the President
and his Ministers have erred in the course they
have taken, for it can hardly fail to awaken
sympathy in many hearts for the Empress and
her son. 1t is undeniable, however, that the
inconsiderate haste of Plon-Plon, by forcing
the government to take decided action, has,
for the present, done injury to the family of
which he is member. Prince Napoleon
would have acted more wisely if he had quietly
bided his time.

The Atlantic Ocean and parts Of the Arctic
Seas have been partially examined in the in
terest of the first maritime and commercial
nations, and yet we notice some great gaps
upon the chart. We allude to that portion of
the Atlantic between the United States and the
island of Bermuda also to the southwark of
the Newfoundland banks. In our opinion it
is time some vessel of the United States or the
English navy should be sent to execute this
say nothing of the intense interest surrounding
all matters pertaining to physical geography.
The condition of the depths of the SEQ, the
nature of the bottom, the force ana direction
of deep-sea currents, the temperature at great
depths, and, in fact, all the conditions affect
grown into great practical Importance in con-
nection with telegraphic communication by
ocean cables
We anticipate great results by careful and
systematic deep-sea soundings, and some time
back alluded with pride 10 the preparation of
eminent was about to place upon duty so
desirable to science. To make it the more
appropriate on our part, we hear that the
English Admiralty have equipped in their navy
the Challenger, one of the finest Of her class,
for deep-sea sounding, dredging and other
scientific researches. We hope that the Juniata
will be prepared in every way to make her
work as thorough as that Of the English naval
vessel 1t seems to us that the lifelong labors
of Professor Agassiz, of Harvard College,
should entitle him to participate in the results
of the Juniata's research, and the commander
of this vessel be instructed to gather for the
Professor specimens Of the oceans bottom at
all depths, with recorded temperatures at great
depths, so that he may be enabled to give to
the world his opinion upon them. By May
the Juniata should be ready to start, for then
the weather will be propitious.

feeling of satisfaction at the decisive character
of the result The State Government, the
City Government and three-fourths of the
Legislature had been placed in republican
hands, and there could be no divided respon-
sibility. Had the democrats carried the city
and the republicans the State, or had the Leg
islature been less Overwhelmingly of one po-
litical complexion, there might have been some
excuse for delay, hesitation, intrigues and bar
gains but with everything in the hands of
one party it was believed that o thorough re-
organization and reform of our municipal gov
eminent was thing assured. The people
were Indifferent as to the distribution of the
Offices; they only asked that incompetent
officers might be removed, that harmony
might be restored, that vigor and enterprise
might take the place of parsimony and petty
intrigue, and that the machinery of progress
might once again be set in motion. They
were prepared for any political change that
might be made in the municipal government,
notwithstanding the democratic character of
the city. They had tried democracy, and it
had turned out ON imposition and a fraud.
They had tried a mixed government and it
had mserably failed. The republicans might
have taken every Office under the municipality
if they had done so in q manly, straight
forward manner, with the avowed purpose of
giving us real reform under party that had
not yet been tried in New York, and the
people would have been contented with the
change.
In place of prompt and decisive action we
have had three months of disgraceful
wrangling among the victors over the division
of the spoils The first blunder was made in
the quarrel between the new Mayor and the
Custom House Ring over the appointing
power; the next in the discord among
the republican Senators and Assemblymen
over the Same bone of contention.

a fearful tragedy occurred at the de-
pot at Spring Hill, in this county, Tues
day evening James McKissack killed
his father. 1t seems that the young
man, with his family, was about to start
to New Orleans, and his father went
with him to the depot. The old man
gave him hundred dollars to pay his
way. He said he wanted three thous-
and. His father told him he did not
have IL, and asked him what he did
with the hundred he gave him. Jim
said he had hid it up the road, and went
to show his father where it was. When
the old man stopped down he stabbed
him three times in the back; after he
raised up, three times in the breast. He
was taken back to Spring Hill in almost
a dying condition. Jim was put on the
train and brought to this place, and
committed for safety. About two years
ago the same young man tried TO kill
his mother, sister aud himself, and
came very near accom-, ishiBg his pur-
poses, while in a state of mental aberra-
ton. After he did this act his mind
seemed to be partially restored to him,
and it was thought thaC he would re-
cover entirely, until this last act.
There can be no doubt that the ex-
element of leaving home overthrow
his mind and led him to the deed.
ar insanity do possess the brain,
IL so distufbs and blasts the form of things,
As fantasy proves altogether vain,
And to the mind Ia true relation brings.
We knew Jim McKissack years ago,
when he was a bright, congenial boy
and no sorrow had dispelled the rosy
tint from iife's beauteous morn; when
no ''rain had fallen into his life, -
though In all lives it mHst-when his
10y was free and untrammelled as the
mountain air, and his hopes as bright
rs the sun-gilded cloud. But now
poor man, his reason is dethrOned, and
in madness lie raves; and his life is as
iitful and convulsive rs the breast of
dreaming sorrow. We hope he may
yet be clothed in his right mind and be
able 10 exclaim with the brilliant Has
X, II, when he again received his;
mint: 20 God, thou hast saved me,
ask no more, take me home to heaven
and thee.n
We have always heard that he was,
while in his right mind, Kind and obs-
diept son and very fond of his parents.
We have no idea that any criminal
charge will be preferred against him.
We have learned since the above was
put in tyre that Mr.. Mckissack is vet
living, n5t in a very prccarious condi-
ton Columbia Herald.

columns of the New York Graphic, in a
report of a visit made by him TO lana-

\ few years ago Lora was a beautiful,
happy girl in New York. Trouble and
disappointment came. and her beautiful
blue eyes, which used. 20 light mp hap

Her happy heart is sad, and her tongue,
once silvery, u specifies. For two
years Lora has not spoken word. For
hours she looks vaguely, rs IL looking
in the great hereafter. Love made her
lunatlc. Loa was engaged 10 be
married two years ago to a young ply

lovers. Her father failed in business
and died. Then LOra went into store
to earn money enough to buy her a
