A Tornado.

Press Dakotaisn.
The rain storm which passed over this
city Yesterday from the southwark was
much more severe north and west of US,
and was accompanied by high wind and
s"me hail. Near Pifffers store, eleven
miles west of Yanktou, the wind assumed
the form of cyclone or whirlwind of ex-
traordinar3 power which travelled north.
ward with great velocity, leaving ruin and
destruction in its path 1t was about a
quarter of mile in width, and had the
appearance of an immense tunnel, with
the small end on the ground. Nothing IN
in Its track escaped injury. In some
places houses and barns were demolished,
and in others they were unroofed and 9TH
erwise damaged. Wagons and other i'm
plements were torn to pieces and carried
away by the wind. In one instance a
wagon was demolished, and the tongue
carried through the air for distance Of
two miles.
We have been unable to learn the
names Of all the sufferers or the full ex.
tent of tue damage done.
The following are few Of the casualti .
Grant Mack's house and stables were
demolished, his wagons and farm ma
chincry torn to pieces and carried away,
and everything npon his farm more or
less damaged.
Joseps Cabalka's granary was destroy
ed, and his stables, wagons, etc., complete.
ly wrecked.
Another farmer, whose name we were
unable to learn, had his granery demolish-
ed. and 10 out of 1S bushels of wheat
scattered broadcast by the storm.
These are but few instances of the raw
ages of the tornado. Its power seemed to
be irresistible, and whatever stood IN its
wav was either demolished or left with
unmistskable MARKS of the power Of the
storm.
Fortunately, so far as we have been able
to learn, no lives were lost or personal in
jury sustained. We fear, however, tina;
when the full particulars of the tornado
reach US that some casualties will be re
ported, as it seems almost impossible that
amid so much destruction of property no
persons should be killed or MANNED.

Census Of Christianity.

It Is favorite assertion with many Of
the enemies OF Christianity that, after q
sufficient trial, it has failed to leave a
marked impression upon the world and
many superficial statistics are quoted TO
glue plausibility to that notion. A better
knowledge Of facts leads to a different
conclusion. The following statistics are
prsented by Prof A. ]. Schem, in discus.
sion of the diffusion of Christianity:
Total population Of the earth 1,3s6, 81, 900
Under Christian governments. ........ 6854s9. Al
Undsr nom Christian governments. I'll 3s2, 0s9
Total area Of the earth, square miles. $4,000 40
Area Of Christian Governments. ..... 32,4l9,o15
Area Of non-C Christian lands. ........ l9642,45S
Two results are here reached. One is,
that nearly half the population Of the
woald is under Christian governments.
the pther is that nearly two.tclrds of the
earth is under the domination of Chris
tian goveInemnt.-Er.

crease of four and a half per cent. What
tho next census will show, we can not
say; but it is certain that the population
of our State is still largely kept down by
emigration, as it has been for forty years
past that good portion of the best blood
and sinew of the State leaves it yearly, to
seek wealth and station in the cities or in
newer regions. The tendency of the popula-
ton which remains in the State to seek the
centres, is too obvious to be questioned
These processes will go on in the future, as
they have in the past, to greater or less

The FERMENTATION OF Mr.. CARPENTERS PIC

The FERMENTATION OF Mr.. CARPENTERS PIC
TURE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l2-In the joint SEES
sion OF the two Houses, to-day. Mr.. Gar
field made the presentation speech in the
presentation of Carpenters picture, repre-
senting the signing of the emancipation
proclamation. lie paid an eloquent tribute
to MIR. Lincoln as a character 50 unique that
he stood alone without model in history
or a parallel among men. lie alluded to
the causes which led to the signing of the
emancipation proclamation, and praised
the painting as vivid and accurate delinea-
tion of the scene which but for it could not
now be reproduced. He said that yester-
day one OF the persons represented had
died, and that only one of that historic
group was left alive.
Mr.. Stephens, of Georgia, said he had
known Lircoln well, having been in Con-
gress with him His heart had malice to
none and charity to all, and hr had native
genius far above the average. LincOlns chief
object was the preservation of the union The
emancipation proclamation originated more
from the necessities Of war than from pure
ly humanitarian views Mr. stephens
doubted much ii Lincoln knew at the time,
or realized, the great results OF the act
| The proclamation itself did not make or de-
clare free all the colOred race, but operated
only in those parts where resistance to the
government had ceased. Providence has
yet to determine whether emancipation was
boon to the cOlored race. The freedom of
the blacks was consummated only when the
southern states sanctioned the 18th amend
ment. Mr.. Stephens said slavery was not
an unmitigated evil. Nobody in the south.
however, would change the present condi-
ton of things. Secession was rojorted t. as
a remedy. but though he went with his
state Mr. Stephens stated that be believed
at the time the country would necessarily
be brought together again in some mode or
other. Down south, he said, We are dJins
the best We can Tor the cOlOrei people. lie
predicted noble- and grander future for
the nation than anything yet attained, pro
yided all anmO>ities he dlspelled.
After Mr. Stephens's speech ths Senate
retired and the House adjourned.
