HEAVY GALE.

A heavy gale prevailed here to-day,
and telegraphic communication north
and south is broken in many places. In
this city signs, hats and wells fly freely
through the air. Dispatches from the
outside report the tearing away OF roofs
and sIeeples. .
In Washington the ferceness Of the
blast awakened many persons, who sought
security in the lower rooms OF their
dwellings. The tower Of Methodist
church was blown several feet out OF
perpendicular, and great crowds are in
the ncighboring streets awaiting ita fall.
In Philadelphia much damage was
done at the Centennial grounds. The
tower OF the Agricultural Hall and Of the
New York State Building were consider
ably injured. a thrce-story frame Struc.
ture at 41st street and Elm avenue and 4
one.story brick building at Add street and
Lancaster avenue were blown down. The
tin roof OF the Transcontinental Hotel,
near the Centennial grounds, was partly
carried away, US was the roof OF the Farm
crs' Market in Camden. The roofs Of six
houses on Sixth street. were blown q dis
fance OF seventy feet. Communication
from points south OF Philadelphia is very
fitful, but the line men expect to re-estab.
lish connections everywhere by evening.
All along the coast, from Maine TO Flor
ida, the danger signals flying.

The Kenneth impeachment.
Thc court having reassembled the ex

The court having reassembled the ex.
animation Of witnesses was continued.
Ell. Bill, Clerk In the Auditors Office
was called and stated that he knew very
little about the insurance transactions,
they not coming in the line OF his duty.
He thought the Auditor kept private
record OF them in the office but that there
was no official record.
Mr.. Geo. Adams was recalled. He
brought the draft Of the Auditor on the
First National Bank Of Wheeling dated
the 2lst Of March 1878 and also mem
orandum Of his own, showing that the
money was charged 10 theState about the
llth OF April 1873. The draft Of the
Auditor came to him through the Ma
tional Bank OF West Virginia, and the
money was paid to that bank, He held
the money in allegiance until correct
power OF attorney was sent to his cores
pondent bank in New York.
William A. Cracraft, also clerk in the
Auditors office, was next called, and sta
ted that more than twenty-five foreign in-
surance companies were actually doing

1874, and 1875. There being no official re-
cord, he could not tell the amount OF fees
paid to the Auditor by these companies.
Probably forty certificates were issued in
1875. Some Of the companies, however,
withdrew their agencies from the State.
lie was Of the opinion that the fees were
not uniform in all cases. The witness had
sent some Of the bills to the insurance
companies, but did not recollect the
amounts OF the fees charged. As rule,
the Auditor sent the bills himself.
A conference with the counsel for the
respondent being desired by the managers
in relation 10 certain information which
the managers expected to get from the
Auditor respecting the fees obtained from
foreign insurance companies, the counsel
for the respondent agreed that il cor.
rect statement OF such fees was presented
by the managers, they (the counsel) would
concedc It's correctness without other
proof being required.

Helen Tracy's wistiul blue eyes were
lifted 10 her husbands lace as he came
into the sitting-Toom with his overcoat on.
He was a tall, stately looking man, with
high forehead and clear brown eyes,
aud the pleasantest OF smiling mouths ;
but Helen's face had somewhat in its
blonde, oval beauty that reminded you
of the hunted fawn or the wild bird
stricken down by the sportsman's shot.
She was fair as lily, with hair of bright
iippled gold, and large, violet-dark eyes

Taking the Hat Around.

\ correspondent writes the following
interesting story from Paris. which is too
good not to be true Some time ago there
was in London Tor the season a lady who
is very well known in the French fash
ionable world. Que day she happened
tn see IN the streets monkey begging
pence from the public in the prettiest
manner for the benefit of his master, an
organ grinder. The marquise took
fancy to it, bought it, dressed it in the
gaudiest raiment. and made it pet. The
lady the other day had in Paris fash
ionsble reception for the benefit OF the
InondeS. and, of course. her pet was the
wonder OF the room.
In the course of the evening young
lady sat down to the piano. and accom-
panyiug herself, sang with exquisite taste
little drawing room song.
As soon as the lady had finished. the
monkey, who, though now partially civ
iized, had not forgotten his former
duties, seized a hat. and holding it before
each guest, according to his custom,
commenced q collection. The vocalist
laughed, the msrquise looked vexed but,
to the amusement OF everybody, the ami
NAL went the rounds and collected
large sum.
His task ended, he jumped upon the
knee of the singer, and, amid shouts Of
laughter, deposited the contents Of his
hat in her lap. The collection was, of
course, devoted to the charitable fund,
but Bibo made q distinct hit, and monkeys
are just now in strong request in fash
! ionable society.

Keepin0 the Hands Smooth.

A writer in the American Grocer says
that glycerine is not used in the right
way. She asserts that to preserve the
smoothness and soltness of the hands.
keep small bottle of glycerine near the
place where you habitually wash them,
and whenever you have finished washing
them and before wiping them, put one
or two drops OF the g.ycerine on the wet
palm and rub the hand thoroughly with
it as if it were soap, then dry lightly with
towel. Household work and bad
weather will not prevent your skin from
being smooth and soft if this plan OF
using glycerine is followed.
