DEATH IN THE 1 n
Destructive Effects OF the Tor.
nadO Last Night.

After a close, sultry day, with the
temperature ranging from sixty seven
to seventy-nine degrees. and drench-
ing showers at intervals, between
which the clammy air seemed like it
often feels during the rainy season in
the tropics, a tornado followed and
passed over the city IRON the west,
between the hours Of nine and ten
o'clock last night. The wind had
blown lightly from the southeast dur
ing the day. An hour or so before
the great blow, it came in aitful
gusts, intermixed with light rains,
lasting a few minutes at a time. There
we're also short periods when the at
mosphere was perfectly still, a dead
calm in reality, and just such weather
as often precedes a destructive gale.
The blast, as before remarked, came
straight from the west, shortly before
ten o'clock sweeping over the city
with fierce effect and whistling
around the street corners,
through passages and by-Ways with
piercing and at some points withterrify-
Ing force. A number OF houses were
partially unroofed and other damages
resulted. The most appalling effects
ofthe storm, however, occurred out
on Madison street, near the corner OF
Wellington. The wall of Christian
& Co.'S. cotton-shed was thrown down
a distance Of 200 feet, instantly crush
ing to death Miss Kate Yancey, bury.

into eternity without the slightest
warning, her head being badly broken
aud her body aattened aud badly dis

by her side at tie time, was covered
with brick and mortar, and when OK

The Remedy for strikes.

To the Editors of the Boston Daily Advertiser
 The heading of your notice of the trouble at Cohoes raises question that strikes at the root of all our great industrial interests. You say, "The issue is whether the unions or the employers shall determine who shall be em- pIoyed" It may result in an 'sirrepressibie conflict" which, if it cannot be settled, may involve both parties and the country in ruin. The industrial classes are no longer ignorant serfs they have at least that slittle learning" which the poet tells us 'is dangerous thing" They know their power, and that union is strength They may pull down the pillars of our property and be crushed in the ruins, but they know that their employers will share their fate.
 There Is but one way of establishing per manent peace among the parties; and that is by the employers seeing that those who serve them have an interest in stable property. Philadelphia is the greatest workshop in the United States Why do we never hear of strikes in that city? Every workingman there owns his house, or is certain of owning It hence he is as conservative as the wealth jest man in the place. Stephen Smith, well known philsnthropist of New York, in 8 re- port to the Public Health and Dwelling Re- form Association of that city, says After two days search about Philadelphia, he found dozens of squares of two and three-story houses with bright red brick fronts, marble steps and wide board shutters, but that he could not find tenement house in the place.
 This result has been produced by the CO., operative loan and fund associations Cor build ing societies) of which there are 56O, holding a hundred millions of capital, in that city. They are managed, almost exclusively, by workingmen, who thus acquire g knowledge and interest in business which cannot be at tained through savings banks, where they are treated as helpless children who must be taken care of. There has never been failure in one of these associations. They pay to de- positors, who do not borrow, more than double what they can get from savings banks, and enable borrowers to obtain small sums on mortgage which can never be procured from those institutions.
 These associations have been introduced during the last two years into this State and city. They have all been successful. They have found immediate employment for their money, on small mortgages, payable by

 RED WING, MINN., April 7. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 As NIT. T. B. Osborne in his reply, pub lished in your issue of April 2, to my article in which I claimed to be the prior inventor of the Electric Purifier, has made his claim so apparently strong by remarking that 'sMr. Baker says his interview with MT. Smith oc- cured September 4, 1879 I can prove by abundant testimony that I had commenced the construction of my machine long before that time" as to warrant the head lines TT. B. Os- borne knocks the bottom out of E. l.. Bakers claim," desire to say by way of rsjoinder that I did not SO state positively, but said S'date procured from St. James Hotel register, and believe it is correct" Not having any means of fixing the date of Ar. Smiths visit at my command at the time I hastily penned that article, except the hotel register, and not knowing the initials of MT. Smiths name, may have been in error as to the exact date of his visit However, 8 month or two either way as to the date of that visit will hardly avail to establish their claim in this case, and MT. Osborne must not rely too much on Mir. Smiths statement that he had mads experi- ments directed to this end long before he ever saw Mir. Baker. Having publicly made the claim with sufficient defnteness to fix the at tention of the public interested, I recognize my obligation to sabstantiate it fully in the proper place. Knowing that 6 newspaper controversy settles nothing, except public opinion, I remain, Yours truly,

George Abrahams was extravagantly fond of cold cabbage, and one day seeing that quite dishful was left after dinner asked his wife to save 1t for his salad at night.
 About midnight George came home laboring under stress of heavy weather. Feeling hungry and thinking of his favorite cabbage, he asked where it was
 His wife replied, 'Iu the pantry on the second shelf"
 Down he went, found the cabbage, got out the oil, mustard and vinegar, cut up the cab bage, dressed it to the Queens taste and ate it all.
 In the morning his wife noticed the plate of cabbage where she had placed it the day be- fore, and turning to her ''Dear George" in nocently asked why he did not eat the cab bage.
 'I did, he said.
 ''How did you like it ?"
 'Oh not very well, it was tough and stringy."
 ''But there is the cabbage now, where did you find any more ?"
 ''Why, on the second shelf, where you told me-"
 A quick look at the shelf by the wife and then a cry of agony.
