One of those terrible tornadoes Or cy- clones which have proved so destructive in the West, swept over the southern and eastern part of Wisconsin on Thursday night last Striking Dane county south of Madison it swept e4stWardIy towards Milwaukee. Photographic reports from Madison state that thirty lives were lost and from fifty to one hundred people were injured in Dane county alone In Wau- kesha great damage was done, houses were unroOfed and the buildings about the mineral springs blown down. The track of the storm is everywhere marked by desolation and ruin Its width is from quarter to half mile. It lifted in several places, only to come down in others with renewed fury and force. It was accompanied by thunder and lightning of tLe most terrific description.

Tbe Methodists of Waterbury have complet- sd and dedicated new church and chapel at the corner of North Main St. and Abbott Ave nue in that city It is of brick and will seat about 800 people, costs about $50,OO0, and has fine new organ built by Messrs Hook X Hastings of Cambridge. The dedication took place on Wednesday afternoon last.
 Among the distinguished clergy ofthat denom- inaiiOn present was Dr. Fowler, editor of the Christian Advocate. On his arrival he found that a heavy debt, to nearly the amount Of so. 900, would rest on the new buildings. He at once opposed any dedication until measures were taken to remove that encumbrance. For nearly an hour the services were delayed while this matter was being discussed. but finally the financial effort was postponed till the evening service At that time a tremendous effort was made, and the sum required to clear off en- cumbrances on the church was raised within 1000 It is expected that this will be clear ed away by the donations of the present week.
 The political editors are jolly again. Those Of the Democratic persuasion are bawling, Fraud" and the Republicans are printing, Revolution" in the biggest type admissible in the editorial business We of the independent order take comparatively little interest as yet believing that neither side means anything mere than to beat a sort of political reveille tc wake up their respective armies to action il the coming campaign. This has been bat winter for the political editor. In the rov over the New York appointments the, ''stal wsrt" Republican journal hardly knew wheth CT to side with Conkling or the President. It heart was with Conkling, but it was awar that the people sided with the President. So too, the Eastern Democratic editer has beel worried with the tendency of his Westerl brethren, and of fraction of the party east towards Imitation. Plainly the Fraud inves igatiOn is a godsend to the political press

A Chinese Devil on the Rampage

The Chinese religious festival
which lasted for several days and
nights, and was accompanied with
so much noise and tawdry display,
eliminated early yesterday morn
ing in a grand sacrifice to the evil
spirits. At about four o'clock yes.
terday morning a remarkable In
cident occurred which has set all
Chinatown to talking. and led to
much theological discussion be-
tween the so called Christian Chi
namen and the original "heathen
Chiuee.n
The food that is offered as sac
rifice by the heather worshipers,
after 1t has served its purpose of
appeasing by its aroma the spirit
ual appetites Of the devils, is con.
sumed by such of the Chinese as
have the courage to eat viands that
have once been laid before the
powers of darkness. But at the
time mentioned above, and before
the conclusion of the cere monies,
probably goaded by hunger and
tempted by the epicurean fragrance
of the palatable pork and the nu-
tritious rice, hardy Chinaman,
without the fear of man or devil
before hi. eyes. snatchrd a few
morsels from the sacrificial pie.
The movement was so quickly ex-
ecuted that no one had an opportu-
nifty to interfere; but instantane-
ously the Chinaman was seen to
fall, and commence bleeding from
the nose and mouth. He remained
unconscious for quite a while ami
aprarently dead, being attended by
two or three heather priests. u,
on regaining eOnscinusn- Ills
first words were, "Don't pray
against me!'
The Christian Cinnamon say be
was caught In a gust of wind which
knocked him down; the heather
say that he was felled by the angry
demon. Take your choice.

We have one rival for the rs. Il.
1s60-Xu of Drake's Plantation Bit
ters. 1t Ia to be found in the
magic letters 1. Y. L., as connected
with the phenomenal auction store
In this city. When we come to re-
alize fully the significance of Sher-
if "Towney's" auctions, of which
these enterprising men are the
agents in Los Angeles, we cannot
help thinking that this Sheriff
must have been u "towney" of
theirs to enable them to sell goods
so cheap. Talking of Blake's
Plantation Bitters, we were once
one of q company in the East, in a
drug store, when Drake, who is a
very genial fellow, made his APP
pearance. We finally reached the
stage of intimacy of asking him
what his "S. T.-1S60-X" meant.
"Why," said Drake, "my dear fell
low, the explanation is very sim
pie. Considering the extent to

ness since you'll hardly believe II,

and were intendedi to tell, story,

with his force, proceeded to the

men claim that they are on their

railroad, but as the railroad COM
pany generally furnishes passes to
its employees, this story is consid-
cred rather thin.
The Gazette reports that the An.
aheim Tanuery is now in complete
working order, and in readiness to
manufacture light leather, such as
calf and Kip. An inspection of the
tannery and the manner in which
it was fitted up gives an assurance
that it will produce very superior
line of leather. The process by
which leather is tanned there is a
great improvement over the old
method of making it. Mr.. Ander-
sons long and thorough experience

The Sprague Appeal.

(Ventura Free Press, Oct. l9th.l
Below we give the order of Judge
Fawcett, directing Clerk Eastin to
strike from the files the bill Of ex-
ceptions on appeal offered by the
counsel of Sprague:
In the First Judicial Court of Cali.
fornta.
The PEOPLE
F. A. SPRAGUE
o der refusing to settle bill of eX-
ceptions.
On the 18th day of September,
1878, the defendant delivered to the
Clerk of this Court and caused to
be fled with him proposed bill Of
exceptio in this case, running as
follows:
"Be it remembered that upon
the trial Of the defendant Sprague,
the following testimony and evil
dence was given, rulings had and
exceptions taken"
The foregoing Is prefixed to the
reporters transcript Of the pro-
ceedings at the trial, consisting of
twelve hundred and fifty-eight
pages of legal cap paper, and con-
tanning the testimony by questions
and answers, the rulings and ex
ceptions scatl lered through the
mass, arguments of counsel, and
all else that is usual in verbatim
reports. In short, it is proposed to
make the reporters transcript the
bill of exceptions in the cause.
This transcript appears to be even
more unintelligible than usual,
and the proposed bill Is obnoxious
to all the objections stated by the
Supreme Court with references to a
similar case, in People vs.. Getty,
40 CAL, 5S4, and other cases. More
over, 1t appears that no notice has
ever been given the District Attor-
ney of the filing or delivery to the
Clerk of said proposed bill of ex-
ceptions.
The duty of the Court in this case
has been clearly indicated by the
Supreme Court in the case above
cited. The court should refuse to
settle the proposed bill of excep-
tions, and strike the same from
the files, and it Is so ordered.
Done this 18th day of October,
1878.

District Judge.

are not lawyers enough to prognos-
ticate. 1t appears, however, that
one of three things must happen.

Did you ever notice what a different as-
pect everything wears in the sunshine from
what it does in the shadow? And did you
ever think what an analogy there was be-
tween the sunlight of a cloudless sky and
the sunshine that CLEANS into the darkened
shadows Of the human soul? flow bright
and beautiful are the golden beams that
break the riven clouds to light up the world
again, after a succession of dark and stormy
days. How happy and how peaceful are
the blissful words Of hope and cheer that
touch the heart and fill the soul with emo
tons Of peace and Joy after a long period of
sorrow! There are none living who do not,
In a greater or less degree, have an influence
over the earthly happiness of Others. The
sense OF contributing to the pleasure of
others augments our W happiness. Un-
%selfishness, Christian charity and loving
kindness are sunbeams of the soul.
