in such an intrigue. The simple truth is that if what is gingerly termed manipulation" of legislatures is to be stopped at all if must be stopped by the union of the moral men of both parties in putting down that prevalent species of immortality. We ask no Democrat to do more in repudiating Vim. H. Barnum than we shall ask Republicans to do in repudiating Republican candidates who practice the Bar nuns method There is like to be no lack of opportunity to practice this sort of political virtue on either side, we fear.

Frlday's s Tornado.

At about 6 p. m. of Friday, the most de- structive tornado ever known in this vicinity struck the village of Wallingford, destroying over thirty houses, killing thirty people, and seriously wounding as many more..
 The village lies east.ef the New York and New Haven railroad track, the better part be- ingon hill about half a mile from the railroad, and the hill, is the poorer quarter, mostly in- habited by foreigners. Main street runs along the hill, parallel to the railroad and Colony street in the same direction between them. Wallace Row and High stceet run easterly joining Colony and Main streets. The first that was noticed of the hurricane was when it took up the water in the Community dam in a water spout. It struck the village at the Catholic cemetery, little north of the depot in front of which was the Catholic church. Here the fury of the hurricane was inconceiv- able; the largest monuments were torn down, and in many cases broken, grave stones were crushed to the earth, the sod torn up, and or namental trees taken up by their roots! The church fell in an instant, and was literally crushed into mass of broken timbers and boards, the debris giving no sort of an idea of the character of the building which had stood there. From this place the tornado cut a clean swath about an eighth of Q mile wide across Colony and over High streetan Wallace Row to the hill. It was on this fiat, among the Irish population, that the loss of life occurred Onthe Hill lthere was much damage to property; the High School, and several other fine buildings were completely wrecked; but nobody was seri- ously hurt. Says the Courant. 'The track of the cyclone on the plains loeks like meadow af- ter flood, the whole surface covered with de- bris, but very thinly. Words cannot adequate ly describe the force of the storm, but few incidents may give faint idea of it's force. The heavy cornices of the High school were carried over one hundred and fifty feet pieces of the same building crushed in parts of house at least three hundred feet distant. A house on Elm street, owned by s. B. Parme- lee was blown all to pieces and . house by it's side, owned by the same, was blown upon it's 
 blown down like straws.
 The destruction of life in the Irish quarter was most horrible. The bodies were brought into the lower room of the Plains District school house as they were recovered from the ruins, and the wounded, numbering some for ty or fifty, were cared for as soon as assistance arrived. Thirty deaths are repoEted, and few more are probably mortally wounded.
 The loss of property was about $2OO, 900. Subscriptions are being taken up for the suf- ferers in Hartford, New Haven, Meriden and other places.
 The losses of property occasioned by this tornado in New Preston are detailed in the in- teresting letter of our correspondent from that place. Luckily no one was seriously hurt. We hear that in lower Morris and upper Beth lehem there was great destruction of fences and orchards, and our Kent correspondent mo- tices the damage done further west.

MT. David A. Wells estimates that in this country 2, 800 millions are invested in railroad stocks and bonds which are net paying inter- est or dividend that 800 millions mere are tied up in unproductive furnaces and factories; and that 800 additional millions are invested in equally unproductive shipping. Here are $3, 600, 900, 900 sunk in only three species of improbable investment, without attempting any estimate of the depreciation of real estate or of other personal property. Turning to the census of 1870, we find the total personal property of thecountry assessed at but $4, ,S16,- 659, ,6O9. No doubt the real value of personal property at that time was twice its assessed value. At least Onehaf the personal property of the country, therefore, has become unpro- ductive, and it is doubtful whether it's real es- tate is worth more than half it's estimated value in 1S70 A depreciation of enc half in nations property, is difficulty that no eur rency tinkering will remedy. The national burden is there. Trickery may indeed throw it off the shoulders of one class upon the shoulders of another class; but the loss is one which no legislative ingenuity can remedy. Honesty, industry and economy are the only means of restoring prosperity to country which has been SO nearly ruined by precisely the opposite qualities, and by one of those f. nancial tornados against which no financial in- telligenee knows how to provide.

EMERsoNIAN.-Spencerc compares the state to the individual. 1 have been thinking in reference to the following our town is in its childhood:
 Freedom from awe or restraint with what is above. Does not know that it cannot look it through observe it's motives and canvass it completely.
 Changeableness. Filings down one play thing for another, in it's settlements sffec- tions, fashions, &c.
 In it's theories which it does not practice. A little child has the process in it's mind but on account of its weakness and lack of exper- fence it is net able to perform. Its Christ is not it's disciple.
 It's schools resemble it's plays, desultory and not vigorous drill for professions: The rich have mostly the preparation for work, who are not expected to do much.
 The library which should be almost wholly ideas, embodies stories It is well to have an infancy, but not to continue. We should grow. Where higher purpose can be appre- ciated and lower is chosen itinvolves wrong. Because there are many it is not less an effect. As long as an individual remains dc not know as he can become separate from com munity in it's consequences. The removal of the higher is starvation to the higher. Since our interest is vital, MT. Editor, please to in- struct those who exert influence in our repre- sentative system whether they are to count our faces or heed the principle of growth. X.
