FOURTEEN INFANT GRAvEs.-In an
old graveyard in the north part of Graf
ton, Vermont, says the Rutland Heraid,
there stands double maidstone, on
one table of which is the following in
scription and epitaph:
Thomas X. Park, j., and II children of Thomas X.
and ReDcc, larF.
Youth, bei,Oli and shed a tear.
See fourteen children sluriber here;
See Their image how tney shine
Like flowers of fruitful vine.
The other table bears the following
inscription and epitaph:
In memory of Rebecca. Wife Of Thomas X. Park,
died
Sept. 30. 1903, in the 10Th year of her age.
Behold and hee as You pass by
My fourteen children with me lie.
Old and young you soon must die
And turn to dust as well as l.
The foot-stone is double, and on one
half of it is inscribed, "Mrs. r. Park"
OH the other, GA children" Mr.. Park
afterward had two other wives, and had
in all twenty-one children, sixteen of
whom died in infancy. Old people in
Grafton used to say that the death of
these children was in consequence of n
curse pronounced upon the family by
an old negro woman. This row of
graves, after more than seventy years,
is quite distinct; nearly all the graves
in the row can be distinctly traced.

Torrid Temperature.

The torrid heat yesterday reached an in
ture the highest of the season. One hum
dred degrees in the shade brings us to con-
dition of warmth that can scarcely be envied
by dwellers in the tropics; for it far exceeds
the average summer temperature OF the West
Indies, and is attended with dangers that
are unknown in that region. But oppressive
IS We found it in New York, we are enjoying
D season of temperate and enjoyable heat
compared with what our Northwestern
friends have been suffering during the past
few days. Points in the Upper Mississippi
Valley, such as Breckenridge, Mimi, and
La Crosse, Wis, and on the lakes, such as
Marquette, Mich, and Chicago, ILL.,, and
even Fort Sully, on the Upper Missouri, are
having q midnight temperature ranging
from eighty-two degrees to eighty-six
degrees Fahrenheit, while the heat at
New York at the same hour did not
exceed seventy-four degrees. Yesterday
morning these distant Northwestern cities
yweltered under the above named tempera-
lures, while New Orleans, La. st. Marks
and Punta Russa, Fla, and Wilmington,
N. c., enjoyed comparatively cool weather,
q difference of twelve degrees being recorded
between the last named city and Fort Sully,
Dakota 1t is to these extraordinary differ
ences of temperature and to the correspond
ingly high and low densities of atmosphere
accompanying the phenomena that the
fierce tornadoes that have swept the
Western States are to be attributed. The
relative temperatures of Breckenridge and
Duluth being eighty-four degrees and fifty
six degrees respectively, although situated
Dn the same parallel of latitude, indicates q
condition of the atmosphere which must be
productive of violent winds and thunder
storms. We may therefore expect to hear
of repetition of the ravages of tornadoes
in the Northwestern States, the lower Mis-
souri, Valley and on the lakes during the
next twenty-four hours At present the
area of lowest barometer is central between
the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, on the
forty-second parallel, and this depression
will bring with it violent storms, which may
be felt even in this city by Tuesday or
Wednesday next. We must expect even
, higher temperature in New York than
that recorded yesterday, and must wait as
patiently as we can for the passage eastward
of the area of low barometer before any
relief arising from the cooling westerly af-
terwinds can reach us.
