some time past the inhabitants of por-
ton of Northwestern Iowa, particularly
in the counties of Lyon and Osceola, are
suffering severely for the lack of the act

sufferers are in need of everything in the
way of food, fuel and clothing. Several

The conviction of Tweed has carried
dismay to the old Tammany ring of New
York city. Several others are to be
tried, and as justice il melted out to the
big rascals and swindlers, we may expect
an improvement in public virtue the

The Cuban Massacre.
FIENpIsH BRUTALITY.

Ii appears that the Virginius was
chased by several Spanish war steamers,
during which they threw overheard all
munitions of war, aud after twenty
four hours chase she was captured near
Port Albourd, by the Tornado. Shells
we're thrown at her, two of the balls
striking her hull and smoke-stack. The
Virginius then hove TO, still flying the
American colors, Varona advocating
blowing up the powder magazine so that
they should not fall into the hands Of
the Spaniards, Capt. Frye said they
we're in neutral waters and under the
American flag, and Varona and his fol-
lowers seemed satisfied. An officer from
the Tornado boarded the Vilginius and
demanded her papers. The officer, after
the inspection, said they were correct,
but they must consider themselves his
prisoners. Varona said he considered
himself prisoner because there was no
English or American vessel present to
witness this scandal. The American
fac he considered their protection, but
he knew he would be victim, since the
Spanish Government all along had hated
him. They were taken aboard the Tor
nado and put in irons. The Virginius
was taken in tow and the vessels arrived
at Santiago, October 81, at 6 o'clock P.
NJ. Verona's and Ryans behavior won
the admiration of the Spanish officers.
The news of the arrival spread rapidly
through the city, and the effects of the
news ere most brutal The Spaniards
paraded the streets, shouting death to
the pirates They demanded that
troops from the neighboring garrisons be
brought to the city and 1000 were sent
in. At midnight the captives were par
AIDED through the streets, two and two,
handcuffed, and marched to Jail amid a
yelling and shouting crowd. On the
morning of the 9th, Cespedes, Del Sol,
Ryan and Varona we're taken to a place
of execution about mile distant. The
four victims were surrounded by a strong
escort of Spanish soldiers. Varona was
calm and collected. Cespedes and Del
Sol were forced to kneel, in which posi-
tions they were shot in the back. Ryan
and Varona were next directed to kneel
but refused, and were seized and thrown
to the ground, hand-cuffed all the time.
The two victims begged their tormentors
to let them die standing, and, having of:
fered further resistance, were murdered
standing. Ryan was not Immediately
killed, and Spanish officer thrust a
sword through his heart. Varona died
easily. Then, down upon the corpses
yet warm, came the blood-thirsty mob
and, severing the heads of the victims
from their bodies, placed them on pike;
and carried them through the city.

A new and novel method of forecasting
storms is being discussed in the foreign
journals, the system in question being due to
the investigation of Mr.. Wenly, well-known
meterologist. The plan adopted by him for
learning the form Of the aerial wave which
is passing over any given place is to take a
sheet Of paper ruled with perpendicular lines,
and across the middle of such sheet o
strong black line is drawn to represent the
average or mean line of the barometer, and
fifteen finer lines above and below, at inter
vals Of about one-tenth Of an inch rise and
fall. The lines being dated at the top to
so as to correspond with the days Of the
months, the observer begins by noticing how
many tenths of inch the mercury may stand,
say at eight in the morning, above or below
the average, or twenty-nine and half inches;
q dot is made in the line corresponding to
the date at the required height, and the
same thing is done the next day at the same
hour, drawing pen across from dot to dot
continuing this daily gives the wave FORM
It is found far better to mark It
twice q day, namely, at eight in the evening
that is, half way between the daily lines.
A sailor might mark it every watch Ac-

children of these take another rise, and by
and by descendants Of the present laborers

gress. It is by attempting to reach the top

recommended consists in bringing children up

example of industry, sobriety, cleanliness

good living proceeding from labor, and thus
remove from them the temptation to get the

means.
