The Great Storm.
Chicago Times Oct. II.

Chicago Times oct IL.
Beginning at a. IN. on yesterday,
the wind blew here all day at the rate
of thirty-fve miles an hour. The brick
casing on one side of the Illinois Cen
trail elevator A was blown out. Two
freight cars of the Illinois Central road
were blown from the pier into the
lake. One side of Munger, Wheeler
& Co.'S elevator, at the foot Of Four
teenth street, was blown out, and the
wind tore off the iron roof of the
elevator that firm is building at the
junction of the north and south
branches of the river. A large quaint
ity of lumber was blown out Of the
yards, and in the coal yards men found
it impossible to work. The wind blew
the water out Of the river, lowering
the level three feet, one result of
which was the grounding Of a pro-
peller and barge in the Madison
street draw. The north and south
ends of the unfinished stOck-hOuse of
the steel-works in South Chicago were
blown down, allowing the roof to fall.
The fall of the north end injured sew
eral men, two of whom will die. Only
one sailing vessel entered this port on
yesterday. Her captain reported see
ing the spars of sunken schooner off
the marine hospital At Milwaukee
the wind blew harder than here.
Several vessels off that port dragged
their anchors badly, and were in much
danger. Off Two Rivers point fish
boat capsized, and two men were
drowned. The schooner Reciprocity
waterlogged off the same point, but
the crew reached the shore safely.

Simple Language in Sermons.

Chambers Journal.
In addressing the multitude, simple
ity of language is highly desirable, there
being the danger of the unlearned at
taching very different (and sometimes
very awkward meanings to the grand
and uncommon words which even care
fu' clergymen may be betrayed into
using in the pulpit. One of those, when
in his stndy and in the act of compos-
ing a sermon, made use of the term sos
tentatiOus man." Throwing down his
pen, he wished to satisfy himself. ere
he proceeded, as to whether a great por-
ton or his congregation might compre-
hend the meaning of said term, and
adopted the following method of proof.
Ringing the bell, his footman appeared,
and was thus addressed by his master
"What do you conceive to be implied
by an ostentatious man?" can osten-
tatious man, sir?" said irhomasE"Wh

the vicar, "what do you imagine an os-
tentatious man to be?" "An ostenta-

Mr.. Thos. Meehan, in note in the
Bulletin Of the Torrey Botanical Club,
says: find that the behavior Of bees is
governed by circumstances. When
flowers are abundant they visit those
only which they prefer; at other times
they examine anything which comes in
their way. At the time / am writing,
May 18th, there is dearth OF garden
flowers. Those of the early spring are
gone and the later ones are not well
formed. But Columbines in many spe-
cies are in bloom. The humble bee
bores the ends Of the hectares and sucks
the honey stored there; and the honey
bee follows and sucks from the same
hole what may be left, or what may be
afterward generated from the honey
gland. have often watched closely to
learn whether the honey bee bored for
honey. It's quick motions are unfavor-
able to correct observation. l thought
once had caught it boring lilac flowers,
but l afterward counted all the flowers
that had been bored by the humble bee,
and then watched the work of the hon.
ey bee on the cluster, and there were
no more bored afterward than before.
The Columbines (Aquilegi@,) with
curved nectaries, such as A. vulgaris
and A. olympica. are very favorable for
observation, as the slit is made Oh the
upper side Of the curve, and the honey
bee can be easily seen after the crumbs
that have been left on the strong ones
table. / have no doubt, however, that
it would bore for itself if it had the
power, and perhaps it sometimes does.
The humble bee and the honey bee are
evidently not the insects for which the
Columbine had this beautifully con-
trived nectar cup provided to induce
cross fertilization and what particular
insect was designed to be the favored
one, SO that it, and no other, could
turn its tongue around these twisted
spurs to get at the honey in the end, l
think no student has yet discovered.

Gen. Hancock on the Tariff Question

The following letter in reply to one
addressed to Gen. Hancock by Hon.
Theo. =. Randolph, of New Jersey,
asking for more definite expression
of his views on the subject of tariff:
GOvERNOR's ISLAND, n. Y, Oct. II.
My DEAR GOvERNOR-I have re-
ceived your letter of the 10th inst. In
my letter of acceptance l express my
full sympathy with our American in
dustries. l thought / spoke plainly
enough to satisfy our Jersey friends
regarding my tariff views. am too
sound an American to advocate any
departure from the general features of
a policy that has been largely instru-
mental in building up our industries
and keeping Americans from the com
petitions of the underpaid labor of
Europe. If we intend to remain honest
and pay the public debt, as good people
of all parties do, and if we meanto aC.
minister the functions of government.
then we must raise revenue in some
way or other. With a united and har-
monious country we shall certainly in
liiiiC pay VII luC 'ubllC uSDt, buU Vic
necessity of raising money for the adj
ministration of the government will
continue as long rs human nature lasts.
and all parties agree that the best way
for us to raise revenue is largely by
the tariff. So far as we are concerned,
therefore, all talk about free trade is
folly. But the tariff in question vii
probably be treated with justice to all
your interests and people by some such
bill as Eaton's. | believe that COM
mission of intelligent men representing
both the government and American,
industries, will suggest tariff measures
that will relieve us of any crudities
and Inconsistencies of our present
laws, and confirm to us system which
will be judicious, just, harmonious and
incidentally protective as well as stable
in its effects.
l am very truly yours,
lSignedl w. ;. HANCOCK.

THE discovery of prehistoric villa
in Mexico is the latest sensation report
ed in that country. Messrs. Lorillard
and Charney have been making some
excavations near Tula, and have m-
covered house containing twenty-five
rooms, fifteen stairways and twelve cor
ridors. Attached to it are two cisteIns,
with clay pipes, which were used to
convey water to different apartments.
Some of the household utensils are of
coarse clay, few of porcelain and one
of glass! Tollan, the capital of the
Toltee empire, covered not only the site
of the present town of Tula but the
spot where Mr. Charney discovered the
villa, and now he is mearthing near
the former building large palace
Perhaps during these excavations he
may find historical data that may clear
up all mystery with regard to the origin
of the first inhabitants of the Western
continent.

estimated the mortality from excessive
use of alcoholic liquors to be 10000
deaths per yer, one-third being due to
direct effects upon the topers them
selves, and two-thirds of the deaths
due to starvation, disease, accidents or
violence occurring to other persons by
the intemperance of the topers.

q Cut in Passenger Rates

Chicago Times Oc.. -.
War has been declared between the
Wabash and the Chicago and Alton rail-
ways. The former commenced run-
ming trains on its Chicago and st. Louis
route, yesterday, and, for the alleged
purpose of compensating the travelling
public for the nNenient location of
it's depot, cut rates one dollar 90 nearly
al points west, ami announced its pur-
pose to l-eep one dollar under rates Of
all other roads. The Alton met the
cut at once, and if the Wabash goes
still further down it will bo followed
into the ditch. Fall tourists will OBJ
serve that the prospect is a cheerful

Now THE NEGRO CANNOT help
having the deformities and the repul-
sive features the Republican attributes
to him. 1t is not his fault that his
legs are crooked and his hair kinky
and the GAZETTE has never INDUCED
in pointing to the defects, yet the Re
publican, while boasting of its friend
ship for the negro let's out its ill-con-
csaled contempt for him, while it begs
his vote, in making sport of deformi-
ties that an All Wise Creator for some
inscrutible purpose imposed. 1t says:
''To the editor of the Gazette, the
bow legs became straight, the gently
curved instep of the foot appears
where before there was but fiat sur
face. The kinky hair straightens
right out. The unpleasant effiuvia
which so often became SO offensive to
the Gazette editor, all depart the mo-
ment Sambo walks up and deposits
the Democratic ticket and joins the
white mans party"
Such is the thin sincerity of the Re
pubIicdn's party. All it wants is the
vote of the negro to put its office
seeking people in places where good
salaries will fill their pockets.
The Republican has yet to learn
that the Democratic panty 10 the
white mans party, and that while it
asks no colored man for his vote,
nevertheless will protect all colored
voters who choose to cast their ballots
for Democratic men, whether they
have straight or crooked legs.
The negro ought to have seen by
this time that the Republican party
care nothing for him beyond securing
his vote, and may therefore very pro
perly conclude to vote for party that
gives him security, equal rights be-
fore the law, and the cheapest and
best government that can be found
anywhere on the earth.

CANNOT BE ELECTED.-The Penn
Monthly, Republican paper, in an artl
Gle upon the prospects Of the ex-Presi
dent, and his third term prospects, says
Mr.. Grant was very far from being an
unexceptionable President. Through
the mellowing influences of time his
faults, like the sins of the rebellion, have
been hid under charitable oblivion ;
but his candidacy, If secured by the sup
port of the most Objectionable and un-
scrupulous men in the party win bring
everything back into the hard, stern
light of day. II will be remembered
that his mismanagement forced large
section OF the party into revolt at the
end OF his first administration, when the
party was still strong enough to ignore
such revolts. (The Southern Republi-
can vote was reality in those days, aud
Northern States which have long been
reckoRed doubtful were solidly on the
Republican side.) During his second
tenn of office he continued and intensI-
fed all the faults of the first. He asso-
ciated the name Of the President with
those of such worthies as Belknap and
Murphy. BE stood stolidly in the way
of every measure of political reform. He
broke down the prestage of the party
even in the North, until the 1000
popular majority in 1872 became a Dem
ocratic popular majority of PSI, 900 in
1876. 1t is true that there has been q
turn in the tide since 1876; but it is not
SO great and so decided as to warrant the
Republicans in taking any risks. Gen.
eral Grant, as the nominee of the Conk-
lings and the Camerons, cannot COM
mand the undivided support of the party.
Mr.. Blaine cannot; Mr.. Sherman can
not. And the candidate chosen in
Chicago should lie one who can.

OUR EsrEEMED CONTEMPORARY, tn

OUR EsTERMED CONTEMPORARY the
State Sentinel, will please bear in mind
the fact that the GAZETTE has always
held that the Democratic party Is the
white mans party, and when we declare
1t rs our intention to insist that the
negro shall be protected in his choice OF
ballots we only claim that he shall be
allowed to vote the white mans ticket
without being beaten or driven from his
home therefor. If he is the free man
that the Republican leaders proclaim
him to be, he is entitled to, and yet they
deny him the right to choose for whom
he will vote after putting the country to
the cost of thousands of millions of dol
lars and hundreds of thousands of valua-
BILE lives to free and enfranchise him.
Such Is Republicanism. 1t promises but
does not intend to fulfill now any more
than it did when every negro expected
TO receive 40 acres and a mule, and to
this day has received neither.
