blast from St. Louis, or some other place
in that direction, blew steadily for a
week; thereby preventing the filling out
that otherwise would have occurred. But
this season is an exceptional one all over
the country, and we must as gracefully US
possible, put up with yield of 81 BUSH

wheat can be had on application, or seen
on exhibition among the products of the

Now, the foregoing shows conclusively
that crops can be grown in the valley Of
the James aud Pipestem streams; but
visitors enquire, Can your praine lands
produce like this: Do you think that
they will grow good crops: W. answer,
that potatoes weighing II ounces have
been raised on the prairie under the sod
breaking. merely throwing the potatoes
in the furrow and turning the next one
over them. Onions on Geo. Bnunes
place, sown broadcast on the sod and
washed in by the rain. have been weighed
this week, and one Of them pressed down
the scales t. the 6gu'e oi 8 ounces; and
it appears to be the candid opinion of
nearly oil of our citizens, that the lands
on the plateau out of the valleys of the
James and Pipestem. ore better in many
respects; will wear longer, produce
better. and retain moisture better than
those in the valleys.
These are facts, and not merely the
blowativencss Of a newspaper man who is
striving to Gil space IN his columns, and
vii: bear the strictest investigation.
The reason that this place, so long
settled, has not more farms opened around
it, is that those settled here were engaged
In selling goods, liquors, and fieighting,
and only the stimulous of tue coming
immigration, and the large yields of grain
on the Dalrymple farms induced them to
try agriculture as means Of making
money.

Terrible Tornado and Hail Storm.
Fargo, on the evening of the 26th inst,
was the victim of the most terrible tor.
nado and hail storm ever known on the
line of the N. P. r. R. since its inception.
The storm swooped down from the
northwest as people were at supper, and
by destruction Of buildings, furniture,
stock, window glass, &c., cost that place
u damage OF over $4,000.
The grist mill of G. A. Roberts was
leveled to the ground; also N. L. Shat.
tuck's feed and sale stable, loss of five
horses killed, and several injured. O.
w. Francis dwelling blown to atoms, IN
cluding all furniture therein. Mr.. Rob
bins dwelling and contents mass of
ruins. A. Rupert's incomplete dwelling
torn to bits r. N. Pray's dwelling
blown down. McLaughlin's agricultural
house unroofed. Benz s. Becht's brick
block was unroofed. The Episcopal
church was badly wrenched and consider.
ably injured, also steeplc torn off.
Chapin's barn was blown down and a
horse injured Side walks torn up, and
things s'Eashed generally.
A sleeping car was run off of the track,
and on the side track westward of town,
where large number of cars were stand
ing, 30 of them were blown eastward
down the track, ditching four OF them
and tearing the lumber loaded on some of
them from its fastenings, and strewing it,
with lumber piled near the track, in
every direction along the path Of the
storm. A thrashing machine standing
on one of the cars, was taken up bodily
and set down on a platform adjoining the
car.
The track was so obstructed by the
storm, which lasted only about twenty
minutes, that it took three or four hours
hard work before the western bound
express train could leave.
A number of small buildings were
moved on their foundations. The Sher-
man and Headquarters hotels were thor.
oughly shaken, and the damage by water
and hail through the broken windows
will mount up to some hundreds Of dol
lars in each. =.
Nearly every window y in the town,
fronting north or west, was broken by
the hail, many ofswhjch were described
as being as large as walnuts. .
A man by the name: of Lund was
caught out on the prairie, and terribly
bruised by the hail, and he found after
the squall woman and two little girls
lying PROSTATE on the ground, having
their clothes nearly torn off of them.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The convention did nothing yesterday be-
yond effecting a permanent organization and
appointing committee on platform and reso-
lutions. The work of this committee will be
laborious, no doubt, and the platform it shall
recommend will be the result Of long and
earnest discussion. The character of the
enumeration to be made by this convention we
believe to be OF much more than usual i'm
portance, and the action it shall take will be
watched with jealous eyes by both friends
and foes throughout the whole country.
What this action will be appears to be even
now matter Of speculation. The temper Of
the convention seems to be extremely concil-
iatory, and there Is an apparent disposition
to avoid any very extreme issue on the ques-
ton of q constitutional convention. We do
not believe, however, that the friends Of that
measure will allow it to be lost sight Of,
though they may not insist upon the conven-
ton making any recommendation, and consent
that it be RENTED to the people, who shall
make their wishes known in the character of
the men they shall elect to the next Legisa-
ture.
Yet we confess ourselves unable to see how
the large majority Of delegates from the
country parishes can carry out their nstruc-
tions without insisting on q positive declara-
ton on the part of the convention in favor Of
an early constitutional convention. What
was the need of instructing them If they were
not expected to take such a position? The
fact that they were instructed indicates the
desire and expectation of the people that the
convention should take a positive position,
and the delegates have no discretion in the
matter where they have been instructed.
The episode affecting the four delegates
from the tenth ward Is to be regretted, and it
is to be hoped that they will be able to excul-
pate themselves from the charges made by
Mr.. Houston.

all cockneydom Is in rage over a sup
posed insult to Mrs. Langtry, the reigning
British beauty. Some enthused Jenkins, hav-
ing exhausted the common hyperbole, COM
pared her eyes TO those of Jersey heifer, and
she felt herself dreadfully outraged, not re-
membering or perhaps not knowing, that the
metaphor Is Homeric, and that Juno, the
s'white-armed" spouse of "cloud-compelling
love-" was always described as "ox-eyed.'

QUARANTINE MATTERS.

"The reign of terror, yellow fever terror
continues, Or, rather, has increased with
such rapidity that the very commerce and
business of the country is virtually suspended
because yellow fever prevails here. People
not reading the papers from other cities can
scarcely imagine the panic prevailing every
where in the South panic that must have
fatal effect upon many persons of nervous
disposition.
1t is impossible to give the number of towns
and villages that have quarantined New Or
leans. Mobile. Natchez, Vicksburg and Gin
cinnati seem the most terrified and panic
stricken. The first, in its terror, has over
stepped the law; Natchez Is quite military
with it's quarantine and guards the ap-
breaches to the city as if it feared an armed
invasion; Nicksburg has undertaken to quar-
antine not only the railroad, but sixty miles
Of river front.
The Natchez Democrat gives some particu-
lars of the manner In which quarantine is
carried out in that city, and it's neighbor,
Vidalia, on the Louisiana side of the river.
Vidalia allows boats to put ashore provisions
two miles above town, but forbids them land
ing nearer under heavy penalties. To carry
out the provisions of it's quarantine law mil
itary company has been organized and sworn
in within the week. Not only is the river
front protected, but all the roads to town
are vigorously guarded by this company.
Every one is refused admission, unless fur
nished with health certificates, sort Of pass
port issued by the Board of Health of Vidalia.
Notwithstanding all these precautions d New

MIR. Philip Sydney Post, Consul Genera. at
Vienna wants the United States to interfere
iii behalf Of American hams. These as Mr..
Post shows, are treated in q most outrageous
manner, slandered most grossly. Prof.
Heschl, of the University of Vienna, and
other learned and scientific persons, have
started the story that American hams are
filled with trichine, and liable to produce the
terrible disease of triehinosis, The consul called
these gentleman to account, and offered them
American hams to eat and test, an offer
which they positively declined. Being unable
to do anything to establish the fair fame Of
our hams, Mr.. Post has written to Mr.. Evarts
calling attention to this matter, and suggest
ing that it be made the subie3t Of an interna-
tional conference with the Austrian govern
ment and that, If needs be- a gunboat or two
be sent to Trieste to look after American inter-
ests. 1t is true this government has shown
little disposition to protect American citizens
abroad, and has even allowed several Of them
tD DO shot In Cuba, but 1t should at least do
something determined to put an end to these
unworthy reflections upon the health and
qualities Of our American hogs.

Never has such zeal been shown as in the
Democratic Convention that met at Mount
Vernon, Ohio, last week. The convention met
day after day for more than week. taking
no less than 1886 ballots before q nomination
could be made In the convention at Zanes-
willie, Ohio, 1t was much the same story, and
ut Kansas City, Mo-, nearly 400 ballots were
required for nomination. 1t Is no wonder
that this experience should have Disguised
some Western Democrats with nominating
conventions. Certain Is 1t that hundreds
OF them advocate giving up the convention
system and nominating by primary cleo
lion, the person receiving the highest number
of votes to be nominated. Such at least, is

Orleans man found his way into Natehez q
few days ago, but was detected and soon
chased out Of town into the woods SINH
lar occurrence happened at Shreveport. That
town quaranhned New Orleans effectually, as
it thought, only to discover that New Or
leans coffin drummer had got into town In
some mysterious manner and was trying
to sell his wares. How residents Of New
Orleans are treated in Vicksburg the tel
egraph has told The Vicksburgers do
not hunt them out Of town, but arrest them
and lock them up at the quarantine station as
criminals. Indeed, q citizen Of New Orleans
travelling just now In Alabama, Mississippi
or rural Louisiana, is rated far worse than an
outlaw Or criminal, Is regarded as O. hosts
itt11Gni generi. beyond the pale OF the law,
and hunted with shotguns. That all these
places suffer from their action in this matter
it Is Unnecessary to say. The worst victim,
however, Is PascagouIa Jackson county,
Miss. Mobile quarantined Pascagoula and
Pascagoula quarantined New Orleans. The re-
suit is that this small place is entirely cut
off from the rest of the world Provisions
have already given out and the town will
really suffer from famine in @ very short
time unless some arrangements can be made
to supply it with the necessaries Of life
proposition was made to the Mobile road, we
believe, to allow freight train to carry pro-
visions from New Orleans into town, but this
proved impossible, and the Pascagoulans are
already reduced to half rations and begging
for aid.
Il is not singular that all these quarantine
provisions have failed to quiet the panic; in
deed, they have had exactly the contrary effect,
and there is scarcely one of these towns that
have quarantined New Orleans but are sus-
pected and accused Of the disease themselves.
Vicksburg, Shreveport and Mobile are all
charged with yellow fever by their neghbors,
and these rumors injure them just as much
as Ii they were true,
Among the towns that have preserved q
dignified and sensible GOODNESS on this sub
iect are Louisville, Atlanta and most OF the
seacoast towns Of Mississippi; these have all
refused to quarantine New Orleans, relying
on their natural healthiness and their clean
streets to prevent any spread of the disease.
And these very towns have escaped not
only the disease but all rumors Of it,
All of which must remind one of Poe's story
