A Terrible Storm.

Dispatches from Atchison, Kansas,
dated June 1st, say that terrible storm
of wind and rain passed over Northern
Kansas, Southern Nebraska, and part
of Missouri during the past forty-eight
hours. 1t extended through nearly the
whole northern tier of counties in the
former State, but was most violent be-
tween the Blue Rapids and Centennial
stations, on the Central Branch Rail-
road, and about thirty miles apart. The
storm moved in direction little north
of east and passed into Nebraska through
Richardson county.
The town of Irving, ninety miles
west of this place, was nearly destroyed.
AT that point the storm took the char
acter of a cyclone and leveled every
thing in its path. About forty build
ings were destroyed and fifteen persons
were killed, while from thirty to forty
were wounded.
The cyclone crossed the Big Blue riv-
er at the mouth of Mill Creek, uproot-
ing trees and destroying grain cribs,
fences, and crops at Manhatten.
In the neighborhood of Frankfort it
seized everything in its embrace like
some terrible monster, gathering up
houses, barns, live stock, and human
beings, twisting huge timbers and trees
like reeds, and leaving death and de-
struction in its wake. Four persons
were killed at this point. Farm houses
were blown over, and in the town sever
al houses were destroyed. AT Centralia
several houses were destroyed. Trees
were uprooted, fences laid fiat, and great
damage was done to the crops. At Beat
ty, on the st. Joseph and Denver rail-
way, numerous houses were blown
down. At Denison Mills, Neb., on the
Atchison and Nebraska road, the Cath
olic church was totally demolished, as
was also the store of Meade, Reilly
& Co. One lady was severely in
jured, and several residences were more
or less damaged.
Three miles east of Lees Summit the
house of Mr.. Warren was totally de-
stroyed. Two members of his family
were killed, and others severely wound
ed. Further on the house of Alexander
Scruggs was unroofed, and his wifes
skull was fractured. The houses of DR..
Huntington and Mr.. Underwood were
destroyed, but their families escaped un-
harmed. The residence of Mr.. Hutchins
was torn to pieces and the family badly
hurt. Near Blue Springs, Mo. the house
of Mr.. Harris was demolished, the hus.
band, wife and children being carried up
into the air and dropped at different
places and in different directions from
the site of the house they occupied,
the distance varying from 100 to 2OC
yards. Mrs. Harris and her child were
killed outright. Mr.. Harris died severa
hours afterward. One of the other chill
dren was found in pool of water fifty
yards from the house with straw anC
grass wrapped SO tightly around his heaC
and shoulders that it could only be re

COUNTY AUDITORS used to be con-
sidered mere machines, but of late they
show that they have some ideas of their
own. The Auditors of Franklin coun-
ty, in overhauling the accounts of the
Commissioners, have refused to allow
some six hundred dollars for mileage,
hotel bills and livery which it has
been customary for years to charge
against the county.

THE storm which swept over portion
of this county on Thursday seems to
have extended from the Alleghanies to
the sea coast. In Lancaster, Chester
and Berks counties, much damage is re-
ported by flood, hail and wind. In
Chester some streets were rendered i'm
passable by uprooted trees, and even
one hand was blown from the court
house clock.
Altoona, Tyrone, and in fact all towns
along Juniata valley, seem to have
suffered more or less from this storm.

Curing a Husband.

It used to be said in early times
in Denver, when the free and easy
life of pioneer days was thought a
necessity, that ladies sometimes
masoueraded in male attire-cs-
peciallv at night-iust to see what
it was that detained their husbands
down town so late. One in particu-
lar had a very attractive husband,
and. woman like, she was fond Of
him. 1t seemed to her that SO pre-
cious a possession should be guarded
iealouslv, and she did her best to
keep him in view. But his incom-
ings and outgoings were frequent.
Like the Irishman's flea, he was
anywhere but the place which he
expected to be found. Nevertheless
she plucked bravely down to her
mission, and few were his ~escapades
that failed to come under her per
sonal observation. One night she
traced him to q dance hall, and Just
as he was about leading II Of the
reigning bellies of the place to form
a set in q cotilion. Il handsomely
dressed boy interposcd between
them.
81 BEG your pardon, sir, but |
have a weakness for this girl my
self" remarked the youth land with
your leave I'll have q dance with
her"
Before the astonishcd gentlemun
could gather his senses about him,
the youth and girl were whirling
away in the mazes Of the dance. 1t
was the look andStone of the intru-
der which had dumbfounded him.
He had see that face somewhere, and
tile voice was familiar to him as
spring violets.
He looks to be every inch 4 boy,
and vet I'll swear it's Il woman he
muttered doubtfully.
In u few moments the dance was
over and the boy came close to
him.
Aren't you tired:' he inquired.
'Well, yes" replied the citizen, "a
little"
well, lets go home suggested
the youth.
"Go-homcr' interrupted the cit
izen, in tones long drawn out, while
a faint inkling Of the youths ldentl-
tv began to dawn upon him. Then
he stopped and peered wistfully III
to the face wrcathed with smiles.

again inquired.
1t was hardly necessary to have
made the inquiry. 1t was evident
that he had begun to comprehend
the situation. But he heaved a
sigh as he replied cordially;

1t was his last night out. The
places that knew him once knew
him no more. Pleasure taken I'M
der such espionage had ceased to
be pleasing. The gentleman is now
one of the pillars of society.

Postoffice Nepotism.

EDITOR HERALD: Times are

hardly justify our Postmaster in
importing strangers to fill positions
in the Postol1ice. Colonel Dunkel-
berger Is man Of infinite good
nature, but it would seem as IL one
Mcdowell were enough for Il small
sized office. Both gentlemen of the
same name are no doubt
aud obliging; but would it not be
we'll to distribute these petty of
fees around among the faithful of
Los Angeles? Both these Macs are
"to fortunne and to fame un-
known" and so far as party benefit
Is concerned their influence
amounts to zero. 1t would be well
for Perkins aud Pacheco (the 2 PSI
to look after this thing and fill the
Postoffice with "stalwarts," who
can be of some service, as they
will need all the strength they can
muster. We are now Oh the eve of

considerations should Induce our
gallant and, we must say, cOmpe-
tent Postmaster to appoint some

King Humbert and His Queen.

Rome Letter to the PhiIa. Bulletin.
The King, I am sorry to say,
looks remarkably i'll. He is only
thirty-four years of age, and his
hair is quite gray. Besides, he is
so wan and thin that he is quite
pitiful to behold. 1t is the opinion
of some that'he will not live over
the year; but this, l think, Ia a
little exaggeration. He is certainly
not we'll. II he were not so well
guarded by his faithful Piedmon-
tese, l should be inclined to think
that he was being slowly poiso ned.
But the Piedmontese are devoted,
heart, body aud soul, to the House
of Savoy. There is not man
among them who would not rather
suffer thousand deaths than that
hair of the head OF its chief
should be touched. The Queen
grows prettier every day, and
dresses with great taste. She pre-
fers white to oolors, and wears 1t
on all possible occasions. On the
day of the review she was dressed
in blush white. She is also very
fond of white tulle mantillas,
which she wears in preference to
hats and bonnets, especially in
summer timej and these tulle man
tillas are so pretty, with rose in
the hair and another on the shoul-
der, that the wonder is that every
other lady does not follow the
Queens example aud wear white
mantillas instead of hats a pAn-
giaise, which are adopted by the gen.

to initiate the English rather than

The Microscopic Test for Marriage
[British Medical Journal. ]


DR.. G. Heitzman (ArchiVes of
Medicine, New York, January,
1879 tells us that marriage should
be allowed in doubtful cases only
upon the permit of q reliable micro
scopist. "Last season." he says, "a
young physician asked me whether
1 believed in marriage among kim
dred. lie had fallen in love with
his cousin and his cousin with him.
1 examined his blood aud told him
that he was a nervous man, pass
ing sleepless nights and having u
moderately good constitution. The
similar condition being suspected
in the lady, marriage was not ad-
vised, for fear of degenerate off
spring. So great was his faith in
my assertions that he gave up the
idea of marrying his cousin, offer
her the last chauce, viz. the exam.
ination of her blood. This beauti-
full girl came to my laboratory and
very much to my surprise, found,
on examination, her blood of first.
class constitution. The next day
told the gentleman, you had better
marry her.'o
