DISASTROUS Cyclone En the West.

ABILENE, KANSAS, June 10.-A
storm, accompanied by rain and hail,
struck the solomon valley last evening,
al j O'Clock. At Beloit great deal OF
glass was broken out of the windows
but the fury of the cyclone was greatest
at solomon City, where nearly all th9
glass was broken from the north win
dOwS and Il number Of ihOuSeS destroyed,
but no lives were lost. Four miles
northwest, Dennis Morgan aud his SIS
ter were instantly EiIiel and their house
totally destroyed.
AT Bennington, on the Valley read,
T. miles northwest OF solomon City, Il
farmer named rockingham, his wife
and hired hand We're killed ami the
house completely demolished. In the
same vicinity three stone farm houses
We're blown down, but the inmates were
III the cellars and escaped without Scr-
ious injuries. A large number Of houses
and barns along the valley between
Solomon City and Minneapolis, Il dis
tanCc of 20 miles or more were blown
down, but further loss of life has not
yet been reported. Hailstones came
down very thiCkly, and some Of them
were larger than walnuts, and con-
tanned in tn" centre small pebbles.
The cyclone did not extend so far east
a@ A bilene, but rain and hail came down
for about 20 minutes at lively rate,
and the damage to window glass is CON
siderable The cyclone proper was fun
with the small end down
ward, and at times, as it moved onward,
the heavy top would careen over toward
the Las aud large jets would shoot out
in various directions. The display las
ted about 20 minutes, and the duration
Of the storm WAS about one hour. The
damage to houses and crops is heavy.

VIRGINIA Politics,

The action OF the Virginia Republican
Executive Committee at Richmond, on
Thursday, was i'll accord with President
GarlicliS views.
Under the plan now decided upon,
the Republicans will hold a Straight-Out
convention, rake steps to maintain Il
strict and separate partys organization,
and adopt platform stating their prin-
cipleS. They will then, asa distinct or
gani2ation not agreeing with the Read
justers in some Of their political tenets,
accept and support the Camerou-LcwiS-
Blair ticket III the pending contest as
the most ctf4ctual means to defeat the
BJurbOnS.
II is understood that Lewis, the Re-
publican on the ticket, will be given a
strong RradiuStGr support for Senator.
Iiddlcbcrger'S opposition to Lewis
nomination was largely due to this fact.
Cameron is likely 10 be Il candidate also,
and in the event OF his success Lewis
would become GoveruOr-were the
Fusion ticHet to win.
There are some Straight-outS who say
they will not bow the knee to Baal, and
who, rs between the Malone and the
regular ticket, will support the latter,
But the probability is that the largest
pai1 Of the RepHbiican strength will 90
to Cameron ana Lewis.

Quebec Fire.

The excitement in Quebec, on account
Of Wednesdays contlagration, is su bsid-
ing, and the fact thar there is less dis
tress to relieve this time than on former
occasions is one of the most encourag.
ing aspects of the situation. A great
deal OF furniture ana other goods, indis-
cciiainatrly piled up in various places
of safety during the fire, has been re-
luorseessly pillaged, as no one could
identify owners, and no one has been
questioned when removing articles. 1t
is said that the fire originated in the
stake of the carter Laporiere, ana was
communicated by drunken man who
was seen to enter. Fortunately for the
sufferers there were 800 vacant houses
in the city, and they were being rented
rapidly. There are no individual losers
by the fire to the amount Of Sl5, 00e.
The grea1or portions Of the buildings
were of wood, and in that portion of the
city built mp with residences Of the mid
die classes. The ladies of the Good
Shepherd were distributing food yester-
day to any in need. The provisions in
tended for the vice-regal ball have been
distributed by command Of the goyer-
nor-general. |

GettingPhOtographed.

A very common complaint against
photographs is that they do not repro
duce the ordinary expression OF the sit.
ter, they are not good likenesses, al,
though they may be good photographs.
The fault is generally with the sitter.
| Leaving out of consideration the i'll
effects of touching up" and good pho
tographs need very little touching up, il
may be affirmed that the camera has, in
all cases Of good photographs, faithfully
reproduced what was set before it. NOne
might as well blame the mirror for Civ
ing bad reflection as the camera for
producing an expression not III the sit
ter's face at the time the photograph
was taken. To get good photograph,
do not make formal visit to the gallery.
Drop in some day when you are out
shopping or down town on business.
Your everyday dress is very likely to
he we'll suited in color and texture to
the purposes of photography, whe!ea
your SUNDAY ClOtheS," OF those you
are apt to put ON in which to be photo
graphed are very often strong in color,
and with ladies almost always of silk or
some other glossy MATERIAL the high
lights on which will be sure to be very
white. Besides, in every day costume,
you will look as you generally appear
to your friends, your hair will be "dOnc-
up" in the ordinary way, and, if it is ~
little diSordered, so as to show some
freedom of line, all the better. Having
dropped into" a gallery with ont pre-
vious preparation, do not worry your
self about the result Of the Sitting-ict
the photographer do the worrying; that S
his business. Above all, do not try to
put on any particular expression; make
no effort to lock especially smiling
or otherwise than your own natural
way, and your picture will come
ont all right. Finally 50 to Il gallery
where good photographs are made. a
good picture Is worth all that is charged
for it in any gtllerE-1 bad picture is
worth less tnan the piece OF paper it
Spoils. Getting II photograph taken is
not Il serious matter after all, and there
is no good reason why the Sitter re
uuired to be still for Il lew seconds,
should put on IN EXPIRE 'alon Indicative
Of great mental suffering and Il fixed de
termination "tO do or die" There is no
better way Of getting rid Of this feeling
and the expression with it than to 60
into a gallery without mach previous
about il or preparation therefore and
having one : picture taken as Il matter
OF course.
In Wilmington the place to 90 is to A.
p. Beechey's Gallery 3lj Market St,

Six Sailors Drowned.

MONTREAL, June ll.-News arrived
here yesterday morning Of terrible
wreck on the st. Paul Island, in the
the Gult Of st. Lawrence: by which the
whole crew of tie Norwegian bark Net
tie Margr"the, with the exception Of
FIVE seamen, were swept from their YES
SclS and drowned. The bark was com
mandrd by Frederick ChriStOphcrSru,
of LorwiG, Norway, and was hound
from LoniOn 70 MirLmlChi, New BrluS-
wick. Size had had Il moderately fair
passage and WAS within Il day or two Ot
making port when she WAS caught III a
severe gale, and to make matters worse
her position could not well be asCt rtain-
ed owing to III" dense fog that prevailed.
On the morning Of the 81 inst, la 1T
WAS sighted ard breakers almost ut the
same moment, when, with hardly Il
mOmrut' 5 warning, the ship went crash
ing against the rocks at some distance
from the lightShip. She hung there but
Il short time, during whicn the second
mate and four OF the crew who were
upon the turrcaStIe at the time escaped
by jumping upon the rocks. Before the
remainder OF the crew could escape the
bark slid into ,tc"pc- water and went TO
pieces in Il very few moments. Those
who had escaped did what they could
10 rescue their mates, but 50 furious was
the surf and 80 dense tn" fog that they
were pUwcT.eSS TO DO anything. Cap.
tain f. CristUHhrrsen, Carl SUmUe, first
officer; p. Mathescan, ships carpenters
seaIuen Carl and kriSen, and Edwards.
the cabin boy were irowed. The surv-
vors, after some difficulty, made their
way to superintendent Campbell, of the
lighthouse, vino treated them kindly
and scnt them to Sydney, Cape Breton,
where they arrived yesterday. The
names OF the Survivors are not yet

THE RIGHT TO sEEL A WIFE.
A DelusiOn that Exists Among Ig.
nOrant English WOrkmen.

A correspondent writing from Lon
don, saws: "Time will probably be
found for one question which an Irish
member of the House desires to put on
q social subject, which some people will
be surprised to see raised at all. The
Government will be asked whether it
can take any steps to make the fact
known that the sale Of wives is illegal
in England. 1t appears that two
days ago % workman at Sheffield sold
his wife to another man for quart of
beer, and it is stated that the practice is
by no means rnCOmmOn in England,
though it may be presumed that IL wife
OF average good looks and morals would
bring more than quart of beer. French
men, us we all know, believe that Eng
liShnen sell their wives at Smithfeld
with halter round their neckS, the Hal
ter being thrown in as sort Of make
weight TO the bargain. The custom is
not so general as our French friends
imagine, but there can be very little
doubt that i'll some parts Of the country
u few laboIerS aud Worllingmen still
remain who fancy that they have clear
right to sell their wives if they could
find customers for them. The delusion
is of course confined to the most ignor-
ant portion of the population and the
government can do nothing TO destroy
it. When the new generation, which
has been brought up under the influence
of school boards, has married and set
tied down, wives will cease to be sold,
or if sold at all it will be for Il more sub
stantial consideration than Il quart of
beer The wcrkingmen will perhaps
take a hint from the world Of fashion,
where wives, in commercial language,
sometimes chang" hands,, but always
by "private contract.
