The GREAT SToRM.-No such storm
as that which occurred on Wednesday
of week before last has been known for
twenty years. Many lives were lost
both on land and sea, and the damage
to property was immense. 1t traversed
the entire length of the state of Massa-
chusetts at the rate of, at least, 70 miles
an hour, and the whole of New England
in varying decree was included in its
sweep. The path of the storm was
marked by ruined crops, uprooted shade
trees, shattered chimneys, demolished
roofs and broken steeples. In Lanesboro,
Mass, hailstones are said to have fallen
seven inches in circumference. North
ampton, Mass, was almost despoiled of
its beautiful shade trees for which it is
noted, some fifteen being uprooted on
Elm street alone. The greatest loss of
life was on the water. Some twenty
deaths are reported in the vicinity of
Boston. from the capsizing of pleasure
boats and other casualties.

MANLY RETORT.-In the Louisiana
constitutional convention now in session,
Mr.. Allan, once a slave. recently made
an able speech in opposition to abolish
ing the Office of superintendent of public
instruction. At its close an ex-sIave-
holder offered resolution deriding it,
because of mistake in grammar, and
providing for its translation into all
modern languages. To this Mr.. Allan
responded: "Mr. Chairman, l was for
merly slave. The results of the war
emancipated me, and simultaneously
placed me under obligation of fitting
myself to discharge the duties of citizen
ship. While the gentleman from Orleans
was perfecting himself in all these Lam
guages to which he refers, l was picking
cotton. The years that l spent in pick
ing cotton he devoted to his moral and
intellectual improvement; yet think l
may be pardoned for saying that he
might have put his varied accomplish
ments to more creditable use than in
thus striving to ridicule and deride me
in my effort to promote an end l consider
right and proper"

Chastine Cox, the murderer of Mrs.
Hull, has another chance for his life.
Judge Noah Davis has granted writ
of error which was then taken before
Judge Potter, who thereupon granted
stay of proceedings in the case. Cox
was at once informed of the propitious
turn in affairs, and the condemned man
is reported as overjoyed at the news,
although he has at no time seemed very
dOwn-hearted. The writ is returnable
to the Supreme Court on the first of
October, and the murderer thus escapes
until that date. Judge Cowing, who
sentenced Cox to be hung, is reported
as saying that the appeal for new trial
will delay the hanging until next spring,
as it will take two months to reach the
case after October in the Court of APP
psals if taken from the Supreme Court
to the last court. A murderer's lease
of life is about as long in New York as
it is in Vermont.

GOOD OMENS.


The omens for business of all sorts are
certainly better just now than they have
been for years. Manufacturing is re-
viVing. Wool. iron, cotton. and their
manufactured products, are in demand.
Employment for men and women is
found. Labor is wanted. Manufacture
ers and traders are busy, and the pros
pect is fair for occupation. even though
the margin Of profits is small. as it must
needs be in the sharp competition of all
pursuits. The growing crops are prom
Using we'll for agriculturists, even though
prices are fallen to the ante war point.
The people, too, arc beginning to feel
that the talk of better times is not all
empty whistling to keep the courage up.
1t is substantial fact. Even real estate
is feeling the quickened impulse, and if
anybody wishes to bay farm, he had
best do it soon. With a currency equiv
alent to gold. every paper dollar now
means just what it processes, dollar for
dollar; and the poorest man, as we'll as
the richest. knows what he gets when
he takes it, and also what he can buy
with it, better than he has at any time
for the last eighteen years. Now let
everybody put his hand with manly
courage to plain honest wages, with plain
honest economy and prompt payment Of
his debts. and more than the old time
prosperity will bless the country.

portion of the Grand Jury to have
Recorder Hackett removed from Office
as he had sat in court only thirty out of
three.hundred and sixty-fve days, be-
ing. it is said. both mentally and ply
sica!ly incapacitated from attending to
his official duties. A presentiment in
accordance with these facts was made
by portion of the Grand Jury. but it
was lost Notwithstanding this nomi-
nal amount of work done the Judge has
regularly drawn his salary ofS1 900 per
month, considerably more than is re-
ceived by the Chief Justice of the Uni
ted States Supreme Court.
The presentment, however, had the
effect of calling attention to the condition
of some of our State and City Courts.
Much dissatisfaction has been expressed
at the extent to which business has &C.
cumulated in certain Courts, though as
this has often been due to the severe i'll
ness of the judges, no one has cared to
undertake the ungracious task of at
tempting their removal.
There are grave reports coming to us
concerning the probabilities of a yellow
fever epidemic along the Mississippi
Valley this Summer. The outlook is
bad in Memphis, and though it is claim
ed that the cases so far reported are
sporadic, there is fear that the disease
may become epidemic. Our quarantine
regulations will be very strictly en-
forced.
| There has been considerable excite
ment over peculiar affection which ha
assumed an epidemic form among tn
girls employed in Lorillard's tobacc'
factory in Jersey City. There was
rumor that the sickness originated iron
the germs of yellow fever with which to
bacco from New Orleans was impregna
ted. Jersey City doctors, however. throy
discredit upon the rumor. and say tina
the sickness may have been produced b
ice water, or by simply working in tn
tobacco, the poisonous fumes of whic
might produce the hysterical symptom
to which female humanity is prone.

WELL PUT.-Secretary Evarts' power
of condensation is remarkable. See how
he tells the story of the extra session !:
"They began by saying to the President
Sign our political measures or we will
withhold SAG, 100000 of the appropria-
tons for running the government That
does not brighten me, replied the Presi-
dent; i shall 60 ahead and do my duty
just the same Very WE'LL said the
Democrats, if that's your intention we'll
keep back S20,0OO,Oo0.' Finding the
President still unmoved, they cried out,
If you don't back down We will refuse
you S1O.00O.OOO.' AS this had no effect
they finally held back 100000 and ran
away. 1t was a remarkably we'll devel-
oped case of the small end of the horn. :"

It is no new thing here In the East for sweet
sixteen femininity to espouse decrepit three
score and ten masculinity, but out West II
seems to be considered remarkable; 50 that
when such match occurred, the Rocky
Mountain Ne6s sent reporter to interview
the young lady.
The reporter describes her as pretty and
piquant Indeed" he says, the wealth OF
delightful portralture is made In the state
ment that she Is sweet sixteen and radiant as
d butterfly with brilliant summer plumage."
"How came It," the reporter asked, that
you wed q man so much older than your
self" sSsaaRs
because love him." was the pert reply.
sThat Is a reason, certainly. But should
have thought lady so beautiful would have
chosen younger mate.'
"Would you? Well, now. Ill tell you. A
young man Is very hard to please, and it Is
very difficult to displease an old one. You
know the old adage: "A young mans slave
and an old mans darling am rather fond
OF being darling aasssilsS
81 should think so" stsssFR
s'Would you, indeed2 Then / don't think
there is anything In the world SO charming as
9 lovely young, widow, and such thing Is
possible for me"
Then you are already counting on the old
mans death? gfss ss%
mo, am not counting on 1t exactly, but I
live Ia hopes;;" and with q radiant smile the
guileless thing went off to join the dancers.
It liz not necessary to pursue the subject
further. Any one can see that there Is some
thing very bewitehing about sweet sixteen.
