TORNADOES.

The country has been visited during
the past week with terrible -tornadoes.
One passed over section of Iowa de-
stroying houses and barns, uprooting
trees and killing large number of per-
sons. 1t completely destroyed everything
in its course. The sound produced by
it was like the roar of battle. At one
place school house was blown down,
the teacher and every scholar wounded,
while little girl was carried by the fly
ing timber quarter of a mile, and was
mashed to a jelly. Other lives were lost.
And still another, accompanied with hail
and lightning passed over Long Island
doing great damage. Two men were
killed by the lightning.

remain quiet some time longer.

During and since the rebellion, much
trouble has been experienced by govern
ment and the inhabitants living along
the borders of Texas, from bands of In
dians and Mexicans, who. have crossed
the Rio Grande to plumber and steal, as
well as to smuggle goods into the Uni
ted States. The Mexican government
either could not or did not desire to pre-
vent it, so that it has been necessary to
station government troops along the lines.
These have not been able to put an end
to the marauding, as small force could
steal over the river, pick up its plumber
and return into Mexico, before they
could be attacked or overtaken. Col.
Mackenzie has carried the war into sthe
''enemy's country" by crossing over and
destroying camp and nearly all the In
dams that belonged to it. This will
perhaps teach the robbers a wholesome
lesson. but it is rather saucy business tC
60 into another country to do our fight
ing. especially when we are at peace
with the country. Mexico will doubt
less object to this style of procedure, bu
it ought to allow US to stop this busl
ness, if it has not power to do it itself

CONGRESSIONAL GAMBLERS.

The Washington gambling houses have
never been supported to any considerable
extent by the resident population
Members of Congress, particularly from
the South, Southwest and West, were
the largest contributors to the incomes of
the sporting men. Contractors and En-
glish traders were generally bold and
desperate players. Members of the
House frequently staked their mileage
and per diem at the faro-table, and they
played all sorts of round games, s.short
cards, as they were called, in the club
rooms. Probably the amount risked
would not constitute what is termed
thigh play in these days, but the loss
es of these men of limited means were
often sufficient to keep them impoverisll-
ed and embarrassed during their entire
Congressional service. Some men play
ed for excitement chiefly, not caring
much whether they won or lost. Thad-
deus Stevens was one of this description.
He was like Fox, who described win
ming at hazard as the greatest pleasure
in life, and losing at the same game as
the next greatest. Stevens lost and won
with the same apparent Indifference
He played with consummate GOODNESS,
never lost his temper, and never increas-
ed the amount of his bet either to re-
trieve his losses, or more rapidly to in
crease his winnings. His sarcastic re-
marks upon the discomposure of his fell
low players, who sometimes exclaimed
with rage and profanity at their i'll luck,
were always. witty as well as cutting.
While they were eating and drinking
with the voracity of cormorants, he new
er INDUCED in anything more stimulat-
ing than cracker and sip of water
The contrast between his GOODNESS and
apparent apathy and the eager, fierce
excitement Of others sitting at the same
table and engaged in the same pursuit
was amazing have rarely seen more
pitiable and painful exhibition than was
often presented by the ungoverned pas
sions Of gamester after a run of il
luck. 10 MIR. Stevens such displays O.
weakness seemed to afford amusement
rather than to excite sympathy or com.
passion. He was hard, cynical man
capable of acts of benevolence under
strong emotion, but gentleness or ten
derness was not his ordinary mood
He threw off more good things in con
versation without effort than any man
: ever saw, and his sayings were pointec
with degree Of epigrammatic force tina
| never witnessed in any other man.

The defeat of one party in the French
Assembly, has caused President Theirs
to resign and give up the Presidency to
Marshal MacMahon. Since the down.
fall of the empire, no party in the coun-
try has been so much in the majority
that it could safely undertake to control
affairs itself, and the government has
been virtually in the hands of the cele-
brated statesman, President Theirs. His
position has been one of great response
bility, and it has required great judy
ment to control the factions and elements
that were only waiting an opportunity
to plunge the country into another war.
The Bonapartists and the Bourbon line of
princes, the Communists, the conserva-
tive and the radical republicans are each
waiting for some event which shall bring
their cause into the ascendency. At
present the radical republicans are the
most numerous in the country, and a new
election will make them a majority In
the Assembly. The government is now
administered on republican principles,
and if wisdom and stability were char
acteristics of the French people, repub-
lican form of government could be made
permanent AS it is, it is doubtful. No
particular commotion has been made by
change of President, and matters may
remain quiet some time longer.

THEIRS AND IMAGINATION.

The greatest statesman of France in
our time, and, with the exception of
Richelieu, the most consummate master
of pUIIUICdI dndIro uIoUUry,
has just retired from the headship of
the republic. He has been succeeded in
that high Office by a distinguished sol
der, who, having been tried by both
extremes of fortune, has retained the
confidence of the nation as no other of
the veterans of the German war has
done. No greater proof of the faith re-
posed in the integrity of the defeated
marshal of the empire can be given than
that he should have been chosen COM
mander-in-chief. of the army of the re-
public. And the fact that a monarchi-
cal Assembly has passed by its repre-
sentative leaders-D'Aumale, De Brog-
lie, and D'Audriffet Pasquier-to offer
the headship of the state to the modest
soldier who was never false to his allie
glance to his country, is the best augury
which we can obtain in an alarming cri-
sis for the preservation of the interests
of good government in France. At this
time, therefore, a review of the careers
of the present and the late president of
the republic is interesting to all who
would seek in the experience of the
past some light for the guidance of the
future.
The life of Louis Adolphe Theirs is
identified with the political history of
France ever since he was old enough to
become interested in its affairs. Even
when youth, he exhibited that talent
for management which he has so skill
fully displayed in later years, and out
witted the royalist academicians of AK
into giving him a prize for his eulogium
on Vauvenargues, as in later years he
outwitted the monarchlsts of the Assem-
bly,. The son of the ruined cloth mer.
chant singularly unfavored in respect to
physical attractions, has risen to great
ness by virtue of his commanding ment-
al qualifications. Squat and stumpy IL
person, awkward in manners, and shril
and even screeching in voice, he caused
these disadvantages to be forgotten il
the wonderful quickness and versatility
of his intellect, his rare Conversations
abilities, and the indomitable earnest
ness which animated both his speed
and action. 1t was natural that h
should have found his way into journal
ism as the most efficient means of com
batting his opponents, and that his Pc
should have been effective in dethronin
Charles X.
Louis Philippe's reign is identife
with the genius of Theirs, and the fort
