Tho Memorial Diplomatique gives
the following interesting account of the
density Of population in the great CEN
ters ofhumanity throughout the globe.
There are nine cities having a popu-
lation exceeding one million souls, viz
London, 3,25l 600; Soochow, 2,0000 600 ];
Paris, 1,554,000; Canton, ], ,236, 600 ;
Constantinoplc, l,075, 900; Siang-tan, in
the province OF. Human, 100000 and
Tchan-tchaon-f foo, in the province OF
Foiken, 100000. 1t win be seen that,
although London holds the first place,
the Chinese empire can still boast OF
possessing more populous cities than
all the civilized States of the West
The nunbero of cities possessing pop
nlation ranging from above half a mil
lion up to a million is twelve, viz
New York, Vienna, Berlin, Hang.
kaow, Philadelphia, st. Petersburg,
Bombay, Calcutta, Fowchow, Tching,
Bankok and Rioto. Twenty cities
have population Of from 100000 to
100000 Inhabitants, thirty-three oil
from 100000 to 100000, and ninety oil
from 100000 to 100000 inhabitants.-
Europe alone possesses one hundred
and seventy-one cities containing more
than fifty thousand Inhabitants, at the
head of which. stand London, Paris
Constantinople, Vienna, Berlin, and
st. Petersburg.

THE STORM.
Great Loss Of Property, and Several
Persons Injured.

Great Loss Of Property. and Several
Persons Injured.
From the Des Moines Republican, May 22d.
Last night about midnight terrific
storm of wind and lightning and hail
passed over this section. Itcame with
great power from the southwest. The
belt, north and south, was not wide,
but 1t shows the marks of the terrible
sweep of the wind. The damages to
farm houses on the uplands must be
very great.
A messenger came. in from the West
at an early hour for surgeon to 60 to
the aid of Henry Seibert who lives
Ayres Grove road. His house, which
was on the high prairie, was complete
ly demolished, and Scibert was seri-
onsly injured, and his wife, it was
thought, fatally hurt. "
There were in the house, 1.-THE time
it went down, eight persons, Mr.. 8.
wife, and six children, and it is won
der that number of them were not
killed-Mr. Seibert was badly hurt
about the head and shoulders, and
Mrs. Seibert had her collar bone bro
ken, and received other severe injuries.
Two of the children were considerably
bruised, and four of them came out of
the wreck unharmed. s83
Mr.. Oscar Lee, of Perry, was stop
pingat the house Of Mr.. Seibert, but
just before the house went down he
had ran out of ii, and thereby escaped
injury. Mr.. Lee says the house was
struck by lightning. m
Mr.. Meyers house, opposite Seibert's
was entirely removed from its fonnda-
tion. as was also new house, not qui to
finished, belonging to Enoch Casebeed,
and also enc belonging to I'D. Burt.
Miles of fences along the road to
Ayers Grove are scattered over the
prairie. M 5
The church at Hanover was blown
down, and is perfect wreck. Several
houses in the vicinity of the church
were also more or less damaged. Some
were thrown from their foundation,
and some had portions blown away
A man who came to the city from
there this morning, says he passed
places in the timber where wide
swath was laid of large forest trees.
The new Methodist brick church at
DcSoto was badly damaged. One end
was blown down and the roof torn of.
At Stuart, man whose name we
could not learn, but who had arrived
yesterday from abroad, to visit relatives
about two miles from the town, was
killed while in bed by lightning
stroke. e.
Passengers on the Rock Island train
from the West, to-day, report that all
along the route the fences were nearly
totally destroyed, and the material
scattered in every direction; while in
the timber, trees were wrenched and
twisted by the hundreds.
From Mr.. j. p. Foster, who was at
Altoona last night, we learn the storm
was fearful. The house Of M. Madi-
gan was blown from it's foundation in
northeast direction about five feet,
ands was badly damaged. Several
small buildings were overturned, and
fruit and shade trees uprooted. y
p. S.-Since the foregoing was put
in type We learn that the damage done
at Hanover was more serious than at
first reported. The houses of Mr..
Dongherty, George Mccormick,
ana Mr.. Webb. were blown down, and
the barn of Richard Chafters nnroof-
ed.

warriors. Captais1ack, it is supposed

With these figures showing these
facts the press of the rebellion prefer
to rejoice over every triumph from the
lava beds of the Modocs and every at
tempt of the mob in Louisiana to pro-
mote and produce trouble, and then
have the assurance to solicit the conf
dence Of the people who have no other
interest or can have in party organiza-
tions except to see that equal justice is
done to all in the administration of the
laws, and that no policy will be tolera-
ted that looks to oppression of one Sec
ton over the rest. Besides the infor-
nation impaired it would have a salu-
tsry effect in allaying the angry pas
sions and removing many Of the pre-
judices which the late unfortunate con-
fiict created and engendered. The one
would be true craftsmanship the other
is the still burning embers Of bitter
and disappointed partisanship, which
has no principle for its guide or honor
for its purpose. GEORGIA.

| A Constitutional Convention is now
in session in the State Of Ohio. A,
one marked innovation upon a long
established custom or rather Consti-
tutional provision, it is proposed to
not exempt church property from tax.
alton. According to the census of 1870
there was at that date, in the United
States. church property to the value OF
$254, ,4S3,5S1. All this we believe, es-
capped taxation under the laws of the
various states. In cities, the wealth
accumulating in church property
from year to year is immense.
Much trouble is continually
arising among the officers Of the law
to determine just what is church prop
erty and what not, and in very many
cases we have no doubt, the law is be.
ing sadly abused, and much property
escaping taxation that the letter Of the
law does not warrant. What we
have said however in respect to church
property may with more or less of
propriety be applied to many other
kinds of exempted property. Though
it would be TO effect very serious up
roofing of a long cherished benefit, we
have for some years had grave doubts
about the policy of making these ex-
emptions being the best for the State
or organizations to which 1t is extend
lcd.a If taxes are raised from property
belonging to religious denominations,
to colleges, school-houses. and all this
class of property, 1t Will only be so
much Of relief to the people at large,
on their individual property, and to
to whom this exempted property be-
longs, and this in large measure will
operate only to take from one pocket,
money to transfer to the other. and
would have the merit Of avoiding the
endless trouble about determining
what property is justly entitled to ex-
emption. We shall look with much
interest upon the progress Of this move
in Ohio.
