tion. Were it not for the presence OF mind
of the officiating minister fearful
loss of life might have followed the crashing
in of the roof and walls. He noticed at
once that tornado had struck the church,
and feeling satisfied of the presence OF ex-
treme danger from the nature of the storm
and the weakness Of the building, he called
to his people to throw themselves under
the seats and thus secure some shelter
from the falling timbers and walls.
The expedient, which must have come to
him as the inspiration of a moment,
saved the congregation. The church iell.
but only few persons were hurt seriously.
The seats broke the force of the falling
ruins and protected the crouching and
panic-stricken people almost completely.
Such q quick comprehension of the necessi-
ties OF the situation is rarely found in men
whose avocations do not habituate them to
emergencies involving life and limb. and
we heartily compliment the minister Of that
Atlanta church on the presence of mind
which he displayed on this occasion and on
the safety of his congregation.

Tho Law OF the madhouse.

How many really sane people are con-
fined in lunatic asylums in this State is not
easily to be got at. Miss Dickie was un-
doubtedly one, and an inquiry, elsewhere
recorded by HERALD reporter in the Insane
Asylum on Blackwell's Island, undoubtedly
reveals two more Under the law as it
stands there is every opportunity for the
evil disposed to secure the committal
of relatives or friends who are ''in
the way" In the private asylums
the illegally detained have not very much
chance to get out, if their relatives are only
Jealous in reiterating the patients insanity
and rich enough to pay their board. In the
public asylums the patient has better
chance of getting out when cured or when
he has remained long enough to establish
that he never was insane, because he is
kept at the public expense, and the public
is interested in lessening its taxes
The great evil exists in the want
of safeguards against tho committal of
those who are not insane. When we reflect
on the terrible thing it must be for sane
person to find himself forced into living with
lunatics, and how great the chances are that
such u person would 60 mad in earnest, we
think that something should be done to
make such committals impossible. The bill
introduced into the Assembly by Mr.. Thain,
which is appended to our report
er's story, contains some excellent
provisions, chief among which is n
regular trial, of which the alleged
lunatic will have due notice, and at which,
except in clearly defined cases, he or she
will be present The bill may be suscepti-
BILE of judicious amendment, and it should
receive full discussion but the Legislature
should certainly make an end this session
of system which can be, and has been.
used to deprive sane persons of their lib.
erty. The changed law should apply to oil
insane institutions, public and private.

THE WEATnER.-Thc two storm centres
which are within the barometric trough that ex-
tends from Manitoba to the Eastern Gulf are
making very slow progress eastward. The
Southern storm, however, has advanced to Gcor
gia OH line about parallel with the coast from
Galveston eastward. The Northern storm il
now in tho Upper Mississippi Valley and
is approaching the lakes. OF the coast
Of New brunswick another depression
has developed Immediately eastward of two
areas Of nigh barometer, which are in contact
along the linc between Oswego aud Portland
Nc. The high prcssurcs extend over Canada
toward Manitoba, and from New England along
the Atlantic coast to South Carolina and east
ward into the ocean, respectively. Violent
gales with rains prevail ON the northern
margin Of the Northern storm. a tornado of
very destructive force was developed ycstcr.
day on the eastern margin Of the Southern
storm. The special despatch published else
where describes its effects mt Atlanta. During
The carly morning the wind ut Montgomery,
Ala, was very high, but tho tornado ut Atlanta
did not begin until eleven o'clock A. M. The
conditions ut present prevailing favor the devcl-
opincnt of these local wind storms, and we may
expect their frequent occurrence while the two
chief centres Of disturbance are moving to the
Atlantic coast. Vessels bound South, coast-
wise, will meet very heavy weather
during the next two or three days, and lake
navigation, where possible, will be very danger

Precautions against trcshcts should be taken.

tive for adopting some method Of settling
disputes arising out Of our Presidential cleo
tions, and this contest in New Hampshire
suggests a reason why such disputes are
likely to be of frequent occurrence in our
future politics. When all the preliminary
elections are done away with, and the loose
floating vote has no means Of judging be-
forehand, it will be divided between the two
great parties, and our Presidential elections
will not be 30 decisive as when they were
virtually decided by series of local con-
tests extending through the year. The
most important and urgent of all the duties
which press upon Congress is to provide
some means Of settling disputed Presiden-
tial elections.
We see no good reason why the Chandler
fasco should have much effect on the New
Hampshire election. Chandler's manifesto
was an arraignment of Mr.. Hayes Southern
policy; but, inasmuch as that policy is in
dorsed by the New Hampshire democrats,
Chandler's followers, if he has any, would
stultify themselves by voting the democratic
ticket. The supporters of the President
will not vote with tho democrats and thus
try to make it appear that his policy is
running the party. Nor do we see why the
removal of Collector Simmons should have
much effect on the New Hampshire contest.
What would the sympathizers with Sim
mons gain by defeating their own party !?
There is a multitude of local Offices to be
filled in this election. and republicans who
vote for their local candidates are likely to
support their State ticket. New Hampshire
is close State, and whichever party carries
it will probably succeed by the usual slen-
der n1aioritv

A. spring sunday In tho city.

The mild and delicious air of yesterday
enticed thousands from their homes, and
the city pallor thus brought to light was
soon overspread by warmer tinge When
of cold, bleak winter Sunday one wanders
among the great tenement houses Of the
east or west side and sees an ill-clad woman
or a half-clad child run shiveringly across the
windy street, like frightened wild thing
over path in the woods, the first thought
that comes is longing for spring, that the
calico dress of the woman and the broken
toed boot of the child may not be such
mockeries of protection against the ele-
ments. You do not wish the spring OF the
poets for them; you do not, in fancy, place
the woman by the cottage gate, looking
in gladness down the green lane, bordered
with towering thorn, or place the boy in
green field among violets, primroses and
daisies, where he gambols and gathers posies.
Not at ALL You simply wish Gods sunshine
to warm the dismal street; you ask for
sky of blue, with here and there heecy
cloud and gentle breeze that will keep
the air these people breathe both fresh and
sweet. When your prayer is heard, as 1t
was yesterday, when the spring-the city
spring, that does not wait for slow-bursting
bud or gently opening fower-has come, q
half-mile walk among the tenements will
cheer the heart of the humane, as the bonny
blithe birds of the groves cheer the votary
of nature. You will not see exactly the
stately, staid procession of well-dressed,
grown-up people who parade Fifth avenue
on the fine Sabbath afternoons, so rich
in silk and broadcloth, in beauty, manhood
and serene self-consciousness; nor is it the
more enlivening groups Of Sunday saunser-
ers that throng our beautiful Central Park
that you will see. But what an outpouring
Of humanity you witness! The sidewalks
are thronged with men and women who
chat and laugh and carry the blessing oi
the fresh air and the sunshine in their eyes.
The old are there about the doors, forgetting
| their winter pains; and the children, they
| are the greatest marvel of all. If you
live in a quiet uptown street you see
few boys and girls playing about in
the afternoons, but down among the tall
tenements you see them in hundreds on
every block. You recall all you have seen
of beehives and oil you have read Of hatch.
ing chickens by steam, and you fnd that you
have had no idea of how many small chill
dren can be drawn out of single tenement
house by the wizard forces of the mild ali
and the sunshine. AS you walk back to the
sedate world again you ask youself if, after
all, there is such need in this broad land O.
packing humanity so close, and wonder i
when rapid transit is cheap it will be posi-
BILE to spread this hived humanity out
little in the direction of the green fields tha
they never see now unless when they ar,
burying their dead.
