A NOBLE GIFT TO VIRGINIA.-With
characteristic generosity and fine
sense Of patriotism, Mr.. w. W. Corco-
ran, of Washington, has presented to
the State Of Virginia his superb paint
ing by the eminent French artist, Lami,
OF the Storming of Yorktown which ,un-
til recently, has been on exhibition in
in the Corcoran Art Gallery. In his
letter to Gov. Holiday. bearing date OF
the ODD Of may, begging acceptance OF
the Gift, Mr.. Cercoran declares himself
impressed with conviction Of the prop
riety Of locating the work permanently IN
the State where the event it represents
occurred, and now offers it to that State
as an evidence Of his lad mlration for
the old Commonwealth " Gov. Hol-
liday replies that the painting will be
gratefully received by all the people Of
the Commonwealth, and that they will
cordially unite with him in returning
thanks. The picture itself is eleven ant
half feet high and sixteen feet il
width, with frame eight and three
quarters in bredth. Although it has
not vet been definitely determined
where the painting be hung, it is likely
owing to its size, that it will be sus
pended in the Senate chamber, at the
State capitol of Virginia, on the wall di
rectly facing the presidents chair. Sucl
a treasure as this, we need hardly say
will be priced as much in honor OF it
estimable giver as for the sake OF tn
precious memories which are cmbalmet
in its canvas.

The practical results Of the recent COM

the leading cities has been the general
awakening ofthe authorities to the ne
cessity for being always prepared. In
Philadelphia, for instance, the police
force now drill weekly, and the field
officers of the second brigade, National
Guard, have received orders to have
their men well IN hand, so that in case
OF sudden call they may be assembled
promptly. The men are to be kept full

cences and places Of bushes, are to be
kept in public places at the armerles, so
there may be no delay in getting the

4 Deselatlng Tornado.

CHICAGO, May 24.-About six
O'Clock last evening tornado struck a
settlement about three miles from
harrington, Chicago suburb and desc
lated the country for a radius of about
two miles. The farm house OF VIM.
Brunes was completely demolished.
Mrs. Brunes instantly killed, and two
young children carried through the air
by the whirlwind and hurled dead to
the ground, distance Of twenty rods
away. A laborer was lifted from his
feet and on striking terra firms his legs
were broken by the shock. No other
damage to life is reported, but the de-
struction of property was considerable.

reported from various points, but moth

MADISON, WIS.,, May 24.-Last
nights heavy rain storm was accompan-

ably from Mineral Point. Between Mt.

section of the State where no telegraph

has been received, however, to show
the devastation and sacrifice of property

south Of the equator and about two
hundred miles from the Brazilian coast
when the lockout discovered man on
a frail raft, followed by a school o.
sharks. He was picked up, and sale
his name was Manuel Francisco, ant
that he had been at sea ten days wher
rescued. Originally there were three
on the raft, but one had been washed
overheard and devoured by sharks be-
fore they were two days out. The
second died from exhaustion on thu
fourth day. He threw the body TO the
sharks, thinking thus to cause them t.
quit following the raft. But after they
had tore his comrade 10 fragments, they
only followed hun the more intently
He dared not sleep for fear Of walking
into their jaws. Water gave out OF
the 9th, and thirst was added to the
want of sleep, and his only food was
bread, which had become musty from
long confinement in kerosene can, ant
the eating of which only added to hi:
thirst without satisfying his hunger
His sufferings became SO intense thai
he was about to cast himself to the
sharks when the Carrie f. Long hove

were escaped convicts from the Brazil
