A Town in Splinters.

A. correspondent of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat writing from Savoy,
Texas, after the late storm:
have witnessed inmy life many har-
rowing scenes. [ have seen the destruc-
ton wrought by fire and water; l have
been in towns destroyed by lombard
ment; l have never seen anything to
compare fol utter desolation with what
| witnessed to-day; words fail me when
l start to convey an idea of the COM
pleteness of the work of destruction.
Where few hours ago there existed
one of the liveliest, brightest little towns
in Northern Texas, there is to-day
prairie strewn with the debris of the
storm. The very materials Of which the
houses were built are dissipated-gone,
no one knows whittier, except that the
prairies between the recent site of Savoy
and the Indian Territory are strewn
with fragments, mere splinters of what
were plan!ss. Of the business part OF
The town nothing is left, except the half
of one frame shop, that seems to have
been just on the edge of the cyclone.
One half of the station house or depot is
also left. Luckily two or three large
buildings several hundred yards from
The town-a school house, Masonic Hall
and boarding house-were outside of
the track of the storm, and escaped al
most entirely. The boarding house,
large two story frame building, must
have been on the extreme edge OF the
line of the force wind, electricity, what
ever it was), for it was bodily twisted
about quarter turn around, but was not
injured a particle. We found eight dead
bodies and fifty-four seriously wounded.
Five of the wounded have since died.

The Kite String.

1t was small boy, says the Balti-
more American. that tied the brace OF
baleiul tomato cans to Il ours tail and
sent him down Charles street in the
height of the fashionable promenade. 1t
was he who slung the two cats, tied to-
gether with string at the tips of their
caudal excrescesces, over the doorknob
of wealthy citizen on Mount Vernon
place, thereby causing an uproar in the
neighborhood, from which it has not yet
recovered: and many other sportivc lit
tie tests may be laid at his door, y es-
terday he turned up in new place. He
wanted some kite cord ami had not the
wherewithal to purchase 1t, so he laid
him about for the means to procure 1t.
An idea struck in the center of his pro-
life brain, and having in his pocket a
boarded penny, he hied him to a neigh
boring drug store, where he asked for a
cents worth of licorice. Now, the small
boy had with him scraggv, NANCY
dog, which had been his playtellow from
his earliest day, and to this hounds tail
he attached strongly theend Of the ball
of cord, which, rs all know, rests in a
case on every well regulated merchants
counter Having tied the string and
fixed it so the corn would run easily of
the ball-all the while the druggists
back was turned-hc gave his dog a
kick and told him in harsh tones to "get
out r The dog got out at full run
down the street towards home, while the
boy, with calm judgment, waited until
he thought the dog had run two or. three
squares, and then cut the Irvine, the lat
ter end Of which shot out Of the store
in twinkline, and receiving the lico,ice
from the unsuspecting man, who had to
rummage around to find it, decamped
quickly, and with his hands in his peck
cts, sauntered around the corner, set out
for the house, which he reached almost
as soon as the dog, and gathered in his
harvest of Irvine. 1t Is also reasonable
to suppose that he flew his kite.

Untold Millions of Human Beings.

Although we have not, nor are we
likely to | ave for years, any accurate
statistics of the population of the interior
of Africa, there is very little doubt that
we have greatly moderated it. Much
important information has lately been
gathered on the subject, especially con-
corning the distribution and density of
the inhabitants of that far off land. In
the great lake district, forinstance, there
are territories as thickly settled as many
European States, relatively small areas
possessing millions Of people. The ne
gro regions are by far the most populous
while the dessert portions are the re-
verse; A French geographical society
gives the estimated figures Of various
subdivisions of that continent as follows:
In the Souden the population is oO,OOO,-
600, or about 6fty-ttree persons per
square mile. The town of Bida, on the
Niger, for example, contains fully co.
900 inhabitants. East Africa is rated
at 10000, 900, and equatorial Africa at
some 100000 souls. A late author
ity on ethnology sets down the negroes
as numerically 13p,OOO,OOO, the Ham
ties, 10000, 900; the Bantas, $4,000, 900;
the Foolah, 100000; the Nubians, l.
100000; the Hottentots, 50,O0O-mak-
ing a total of l72,55O,000. These fig
ures-only approximate, of course-are
considered too low by both German and
British geographers, the former estimat-
ing the population as high as 2OO,0OO,-
O00 Much hope has been repeatedly
expressed of the future of Africa, which
is rich in mineral products, and capable
of maintaining prosperous commerce
with other parts of the globe. Along
the coasts and caravan roads the chief
trade has been, and continues to be, in
slaves. 1t is thought that recent effort
will yet do much toward abating the
odious traffic, as the natives are capable
of something better Many Of the tribes
are above the condition of savages. They
have fixed habitations, though merely
mud huts, defended by stockades, and
have some laws or customs favorable to
commerce. Among several tribes the
native merchant is greatly esteemed, and
his property is safs even during war
The land is cultivated, the inhabitants
wear dyed cotton clothes; gold and iron
are ingeniously manufactured, and Ger
tain kind of intelligence seems to be
slowly spreading. What Africa most
needs is free commercial intercourse with
the outer world, and that must arrive.
Who knows but that, in the coming cy-
cles, the highest civilization may be
found where the first civilization arose.

The Austrian CarrouseL

For the last few days all vienna mas
been taken up by the Carrousel, an
equestrian pageantry gotten up by the
aristocracy, the proceeds Of which are
destined for the relief of the distressed
districts of Silesia, Galicia, Istria and
Moravia. There are to be three repre-
sensations, the first of which was held
yesterday, and certainly the display, by
its historical accuracy, the gorgeousness
of the dresses and equipments, and the
precision of all the evolutions, presented
show probably unique of its kind. As
on the celebration of the silver wedding,
with which it agreed in more than one
particular, the locality chosen for the
Carrousel was the Imperial Manage, one
of those fine buildings erected in the be-
ginning of the last century. The walls
of the building were hung with specl-
mems of the most valuable Gobelins ia
pestry, in themselves an art treasure.
Twenty-seven electric lights, softened by
glass globes, illuminated the scene,
which was brilliant in the extreme.
Their Majesties and many of the men,
bers of the Imperial family were in the
court box, while the elite of Vienna So
ciety was distributed along the gallery
running round the building. The epoch
chosen for the pageant was that of Ger
man renaissance at the end Of the fif-
teenth and the first halt of the
sixteenth century. Nowhere, perhaps,
have the traditions, the models
and specimens of this period
been so amply preserved as in the Aus
trian provinces. Not only is there the
imperial collection, but many Of the
seats of the old families are filled with
objects dating from that time. AS
usual in these displays, the heralds
opened the cortege, followed by men-at-
arms; then came deer and chamois hunt
ers on horse and foot, with hounds and
all their apparel; then followed the fall
coners, twelve ladies and as many gen.
tlemen, in two divisions, one headed by
Archduke Wilhelm, the other by the
Archduke Eugene; then six ladies, fol
lowed by pages; eight ladies in gor
geous huntington after them the wild
bear and boar hunters; then two car
riages and pair and two carriages and
four, and at the tail of all the hunting
car, covered with the spoil of the chase,
making in all a brilliant procession OF
226 persons and l42 horses. The pro
cession first slowly went around the hall,
with the sound of martial music, and
then made room for series of equestrian
displays. When these various cvolu-
tions were over the whole cortege once
more paraded before the imperial box
the standard and flag bearers waved
their flags; the snational anthem re
sounded, and the pageantry was over.
Despite the high prices the seats for the
three representations are all taken, so
that as charity fete it will be great
success. London Times, April 10.
