improvement of the Illinois river and the en-
largcment Of our canal into q ship canal HIS
success in that undertaking thus far hc admits
to have been exceedingly limited but his all
Ure is no greater than that of his predecessors,

This last, however, is rather an unfortunate
statement, for Mr. Cook did succeed for the
first time in the history of congress, In getting
an appropriation Of $4,000 IN aid of the I'M
provcment of the Illinois river, an appropria-
ton which has been substantially renewed by
every congress since then, and which was so
important as an entering wedge that it ought
to have made it comparatively easy for subse-
qucnt representatives from this district to en-
large its amount and objects. Mr.. Hayes also
claims that he is the first representative from
the district who succeeded in getting the rest
of the Illinois delegation to unite with him in
a movement to obtain an appropriation for
our ship canal and river improvement, AS wit
ness the appearance few days ago of the
whole Illinois delegation before the committee
on commerce. But hadn't the recent Ottawa
and Peoria meetings more to do with that than
any labor cor influence OF Mr. llayesY
We must do Mr.. Hayes the justice, however,
to say that his congressional career has upon
the whole been respectable, and II the district
is fated to be represented by men of his intel
leCtual grade, his party can probably 90 no
better than re-nOminate him.

THE GREAT SUNDAY BLOW.

Sunday last will be long remembered as a
day marked by more fierce and destructive
wind thunder, lightning, ram and hail storms
than any day in many previous years. The
,gion peculiarly afflicted may be bounded by
Kentucky and Ohio on the East Texas on
the South, Kansas and Nebraska on the West
and Lake Superior on the North. II was not
one Storm but during the Is hours from
O'Clock a. m Sunday to 10 o'clock p. N. sew.
eral very remarkable storm centers appear to
have formed within the boundary indicated,
resolving them selves in some instances into
hercc and destructive cyclones. Thus ut d
o'clock IN the evening cyclone formed in
South. western Missouri, ravaglng district
about five miles in width and extending from
six miles south of Springfield to the Gasconade,
some 80 miles north. There is hardly a
building, fence or tree in that extended dis.
trict that escaped uninjurcd, while hundreds
of houses, barns, sheds, &c, were torn down,
miles of fences destroyed, and in many cases
human beings killed or badly injured. The
chief sufferer was the town OF Marshflcld, the
county seat of Webster county, Mo, on the
St Louis & San Francisco railroad, about 10
miles north east of Springfield and PIT miles
southw west Of st. Louis. The town had about
$500 inhabitants, the court house standing III
a square in the center, surrounded by tue
business houses The storm struck the cen
ter of the town, and in Is minutes not over a
81 lnft at, lima N adj
to the horror fire broke out in the wrecked
buildings, and completed the RUN. Thus far
50 dead have been gathered from the RUNS,
and oyer 100 are counted as badly injured.
Another cyclone organized itself the same
evening near Charlotte, Mich, less than n
mile in width, and ravagcd a district about
five miles in length Not "A house or tree was
spared though it seems no lives were lost.
Something like cyclone, the same night,
also swept over Champaign, ILL.,, dong great
damage to the University buildings, but NOV.
ing SO far above the surface rs to spare all but
half dozen of the houses in the place.
Aside from these special cyclonc nantes
tations, however the region we have indicated
was ravaged by furious WINDS, ram ana nan
storms, beginning at Lcavenworth, Kansas
City, &c, as early as O'Clock in the morning
and moving northward through Iowa; anoth
er beginning in Southwest Missouri at about
o'clock p. m, and raging in northeasterly
direction, striking Ottawa about halfpast six
| and the upper lakes about 8 o'clock.
The whole region shows the effects OF tn,
elemental fury. Everywhere in the six states
included within its destructive range, build
ings have been more or less damaged, tcnCc'
blown down, grain stacks scattered, trees de
molishcd, and here and there human beings
horses aud cattle killed or injured.
The effects of the tempest IN tins immedi
ate vicinity are noticed IN our local columns

JUPITER AND SOLAR DISTURBANCES

Neptune was discovered or supposed to exist
on account of certain perturbatiOns IN the

within bis orbit, why should not the near ap-
