MEMPHIS TENN. MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY g1 1873

Terre disappeared, and one Of the cap.
tains, happily escaping, recounted how
his brig had been seized by the hurrl-
cane and lifted Out Of the water, so that
be had, so 10 speak, been shipwrecked
in the air." Broken furniture, and a
quantity Of ruins from the houses Of
Guadaloupe, were transported 70 Mont
serrat over an arm OF the sea fifty miles
wide. From the mountains Of ST.
Thomas the immense black whirlwind
was seen from afar 10 pass across the
sea, and over the Islands OF Porto Rico
and Santa Cruz.
The mos. terrible cyclone Of modern
times is probably that Of the 10th Of
October, 1880, which has been specially
named "the great hurricane. Starting
from Barbados, where neither trees nor
dwellings were left standing, il caused
an English feet anchored of 81. Lucia
TO disappear, and completely ravaged
this island. where six thousand persons
we're crushed under the ruins. After
this, the whirlwind tending toward Mar
Unique, enveloped a convoy Of French
transports, and sunk more than forty
ships, carrying four thousand soldiers;
on land, the town of St. Pierre and other
places were completely razed by the
wind, and nine thousand perished there.
More TO the north, Dominique, st. Eus-
taiius, st. Vincent and Porto Rico, were
likewise devasted, and most Of the ves-
sells which were on the path Of the
cyclene foundered, with all the crews.
Beyond Porto Rico the tempest bent
to the northeast toward the Ber-
mudas, aud, though its violence had
gradually diminished. it sunk several
English war.ships returning to Europe.
At Barbados, where the cyclone had
commenced its terrible spiral, the wind
was unclaimed with such fury that the
inhabitants hidden in the cellars did not
hear their houses falling above their
heads; they did not even feel the shocks
Of earthquake which, according to Rod
ney, accompanied the storm. The rage
of man was arrested before that Of Ma
ture. The French aud English were
then at war, and all the ships which the
sea swallowed up were ladened with
soldiers seeking TO destroy one another
At the sight of such ruin the hatred of
the survivors was calmed. The Governor
Of Martinique caused the English sol
diers, who had become his prisoners in
consequence Of the great shipwreck, to
be set at liberty, declaring that, in the
common danger, all men should feel as
brothers. - The Ocean. by Etisee RectuS.

I besought him that he would leave me.
For his touch was chill and strange,
And he laid his hand on my baby,
Who straightway seemed to change.
His pale little cheek grew whittier,
IFS bright blue eyes grew dim.
His clasp on my fingers grew lighter.
The victory was TO him

Let the superstitions be that to every
one spilling salt at dinner some great
peace of good luck will occur before the
day is over; let seven years of good
fortune be promised to the person who

The Mormon Problem.

Speaker Blaine, in his recent interview
with Brigham Young, uttered some plain
truths, which must have tendency to open
Brigham's eyes a little, and to bring mat.
ters in Utah to crisis. Il has been too
much the habit with leading eastern men,
when brought in contact with Brigham, to
mince matters, out Of regard to that old
sinners supposed feelings, and because they
we're his guests. But Mr. Blaine, when
appealed to, expresses his mind fully and
fearessly. He crosses swords with the
Mormon prelate, and disarms him with the
utmost ease. To Brighams plea, that
Congress had no right to interfere with az
fairs in Utah, the Speaker replied by re-
mindng him that the Presidential cam.
paigu Of 1861 was fought partly on the
question Of Congressional authority over
the Territories, and that the organic law Of
Utah, by its own provisions, can be altered
or amended at the pleasure Of Congress.
And Mr.. Blaine reflected the determine.
lion Of our people, when he told Young

the Mormons, and supported by the Church,

The situation in Spain grows more in

rendered the proclamation of federal re-
public certain, aud the Cortes has taken the
step without any delay The new ministry
is composed Of men who are mostly un-
known on this side of the Atlantic 1t is
clear, however, that it is Of very radical
character, though perhaps less so than the
mob outside desired. Meanwhile the con-
dition Of the country is far from peaceful.
In many districts the word anarchy alone
describes it. The government is not strong
enough to make itself respected or feared
and mutinies in some of the provinces
are only the counterpart of Alphonsist
operations elsewhere. What is to come
out Of this sad state Of things nobody can
guess From all appearances there is
neither capacity for government nor willing
ness to be governed No usurper is strong
enough to seize the crown, and there is no
virtue in the people, This result is a
natural consequence Of the generations Of
misrule, and we shall be greatly surprised
if the excited and disturbed condition Of
affairs passes away without terrible blood.

events now seem to be tending, but com.

A curious proposition has been intro
duced into the Ohio Constitutional Con.
vention. 1t is to establish what is called
the principle of "recall" in the case of men,
bers Of the Legslature-that is, permitting
the majority Of any constituency to recall
and dismiss their representative from the
service Whenever they get tired of him,
whether his term has expired or not The
adoption of such principle would proba-
bly, prevent the Passage Of 'ring" schemes,
and would make member keep at least
one eye constantly at home. 1t would also
permit ireaky and capricous constituency
to keep up a sort of perpetual ballot, and,
on the whole, we rather think Ohio will
conclude not to try it.

Victor Emanuel will soon have regular
army of 100000 men Of all arms, and a
reserve militia Of 100000, Of which it is
expected 100000 will be effective. This
will give half million Of fighting men,
with over thousand pieces of artillery.
For a nation having less than -thirtieth
part of the extent Of the United States,
this is pretty heavy draft from the classes

six millions We have more than forty
millions, and a Legitimate use for troops,
