TME terrible cyClonic storm which visit
cd portions OF Kansas, Nebraska and Mis-.
souri, on Friday night was one of the
most destructive to life and property that
ever devastcd hut section. The rapid in.
crease OF population is the reason for this.
Storms Of equal or greater fury are not
inirequent in many parts Of the great
tornado belt, but when the country was
more sparSely settled the whirwind could
vent its force without enCountering many
human ~habitations. 1t is q sad thought
that the frequency and violence OF these
cyclones are not lessening; nor does there
seem to he n natural reason why they
should. The peculiar conformation OF the
country aud the varying temperature Of
air.currents insure conditions which are
liable at any moment to result in storms Of
terribly destructive force. As that country
becomes more and more crowded with
settlements it will be well nigh impossible
for one Of these air bolts to strike the
earth without consequences awful to con.

suspicion got abroad that he and Jay
Gould we're not such enemies as
they pretended to be, but that
they were secretly working into
each others hands. and aiding
and abetting one another. This caused
the break, and last week grain was con.
tracted for from Chicago to New York on
a basis Of seven and one.half cents, a
cut in passenger rates has also occurred.
An unfortunate feature Of the contest Is
that 1t is only through travel and through

ElitOEs lu.slligeneer:
In the DAILY ISFELLteESCEE Of May 20
there appeared a very ~apprecable letter
from T~rladslphia, containing an account
Of the n. L. ministerial meeting, May 20
and q, and signed ]. P. ssson. The let
ter contained many facts. but not all the
facts. l now wish to give further partic;
ulars, and to correct some u~nintentlonal
misleadings by the letter. The letter said
preparations were made for the enter.
tainment Of said ministers, by our good
Bros. Nichols, Springer and Sisson; also
our Presbyterian friends, DR.. s.. Greer and
Dr, StorrGr, opened their houses for their
reception"
Now the communication is misleading
in this: that the reader would infer that
no one else opened their houses to enter
tain the ministers, while the fact Is that
others opened their houses also. Dr.,
q. \. CraCrait, Messrs. Joseph Feay, Jacob
Kruser and II. S. Thornburgh all made
application for ministers, and were all on
handtoreCeive theirguests but Mr.. Kruser,
who was providcntially hindered.
The letter represents the dinner at the
parsonage, 80 as to make the impression
that all the association enjoyed the priv
lege Of the social at said parsonage. It il
only necessary to say that the dinner was
prepared by those from the country who
could not take their guests home to din.
ner and return in time for the afternoon
service. The friends near by took thell
guests home with them for dinner.
state the above fact, that those who were
not at the parsonage may understand why
they were not invited, I now take pleas,
ure in expressing my gratitude to all fol
the liberal manner It which they enter
tanned the association.
The letter was not too highly colored, AZ
to the appreciation be the friends or the
performances Of the association. 1t was
a rich treat. We all enjoyed the meeting
much. We should not object to have the
parsonage invaded often in the same man
