which in the twink]ing of an eye converted
order into chaos and dealt out death and de-
struction to everything in it's track. In the
village of new U]m there is not a building but
what is more or less damaged, while many of
the finest structures are complete wrecks. -Four
persons were killed and many wounded. It
can be safely said that $25O, 1000 to $500, 900
will not put the town back to where it was be-
fore the awful calamity. At Cairo, Renville
county, four and one-half miles northwest,
four persons were killed and at West Newton
five bodies were found. There were many
wounded ones at this point also. Crops in the
path of the destroyer were ruined beyond re-
demption.
On the 10th inst. heavy rains and q water
spout caused great damage in Marshalltown,
Iowa. Linn creek rose to so great height as
to float about forty houses. Some thirteen
manufacturing establishments were more or
less wrecked. In the city the damage amounts
to 5000, 900, while outside the loss in crops and
farm implements is very large.
A storm in Central Iowa on the night of the
10th inst. was principally destructive to the
railroads. Miles of track and many bridges we're
washed out on the North Western road, between
Des Moines and Ames and Ames and Grand juno
ton. Three miles of track on the Rock Island
road were washed out in the vicinity of Colfax,
also the greater portion of the track between
Pello and Eddyville. The Des Moines and Ra-
coon rivers rose rapidly, the latter swelling into.
a .veritable lake three miles south of Des
Moines. The storm just east of the centre of
the state partook of the nature of a water

Condition Of the President.

President Garfield continues to improve from
day to day, and the attending physicians are
almost confident of his ultimate recovery.
Suppuration is progressing naturally, the
wound has natural appearance, and there is
little to dread from the secondary hemorrhage
OF blood-poisoning. The patient continues to
take more nourishment each day, and there
has been no gastric disturbance recently. DR..
Woodward states that the patient has suffered
from "circumscribed peritonitis " since the
second day, but that it's extent has been re-
duced each day until now it is scarcely percept
ib!e. He says that the abatement of the in
tlammation shows that the bullet is doing no
harm: On being asked if there were other
signs Of improvement, he said that persons
without any medical knowledge could not fail
to recognize great improvement in the Presi-
dents condition by simply looking at him.
His eye is brighter, his color better, and he
moves with less difficulty.
One evening before going to sleep the Presi-
dent asked DR.. Reyburn what was the news,
and the doctor replied by telling him that the
governors of several states had in view to issue,
when the President would be out Of danger,
proclamation for general Thanksgiving to God
for the answered prayers of the nation" The
patient seemed to be greatly touched and graft
fed at this information. COL Rockwell re-
marked to the president that "the heart Of the
nation was in bis room." The words seemed to
impress him greatly, and afterwards he mur-
INJURED in his sleep: ''The heart of the nation
will not let the old soldier de-"
The refrigeration apparatus constructed in
the basement of the White House works ad-
mirably. It supplied the sick room with 1s, 1000
cubic feet of pure day daily at temperature of
81 degrees. The GOODNESS of the room has an
excellent effect on the patient. Guards are
still kept about the grounds on patrol duty and
will probably be continued until the President
is able to be about.
On the 10th inst. advices from Washington
pointed to speedy recovery of the President.
The healing process of the wound progresses
satisfactorily, and it was thought the patient
would be able to sit up in about ten days. The
surgeons now allow the President to order
whatever he wishes for his meals.

Washington Gossip.

G,nteau's confession has been made public
by District Attorney Corkhill. It shows
that the william had been contemplat-
ing the deed since the 18th of May last;
that he dogged the movements of the Presi-
dent continually and on one occasion arranged
10 shoot him in church, hut refrained from do
ing SO because he was afraid of missing him
and biting some one else. The confession
makes no mention whatever of an accomplice,
but rather strengthens the impression that
Guiteau was alone in the dastardly work.
Ex-senator Conkling called at the White
House on the 14th, but did not see either Mrs.
Garfield or the President. He left the as
surance of his heartfelt sympathy and hopes
for the Presidents recovery.
General Dudley, the commissioner of pen
sions, has recommended the discharge of over
100 clerks and the reduction in pay OF over 60
clerks of the pension bureau, because of the
shortness of the appropriation made by the last
congress. The remains Of tie appropriation
unexpended 1874, 4,070, and if the present force
is continued at present salaries 1881, $50 would
be required.
The secretary of the interior has decided that
in case an inmate of q soldiers homo leaves
the institution without the permission of the
manager, he is entitled to receive bis pension.
Guiteau, the assassin, passes his time, at
Photographic reporter furnished by the district
attorney. He still expresses regret that his
bullet did not kill President Garfield. District
Attorney Corkhill states that the prisoner does
not exhibit any symptoms of insanity.
A lady, one of the maudlin, sickly-senti-
mental kind, no doubt, called at the Washing
ton Jail on the 10th, to give Guiteau some
broiled chicken and sweetmeats. The food was
denied him.

Albany Matters.

committee representing the Conklingite
members addressed a public letter to State
Senator Mccarthy, chairman of the republican
caucus committee of the New York legislature,
urging that new caucus be called, on the
ground that the one at which Lapham and
Miller were nominated was irregular, and that
the nominees IN are not the choice Of the republi;
that the election of Lapham and Miller to the
United States senate will endanger the suprem-
acy of the republicans in the next house of
representatives. Senator Mccarthy has re-
that each of them, and every republican mem
ber of the legislature was invited by public
notice, by circular, and personally, to attend
the caucus at which Lapham and Miller were
nominated; that two-thirds of the republican
legislators did attend; that the caucus and the
nominations were regular It is thought the
deadlock will soon be broken, as the feeling
favorable to the holding Of CAUCUS satisfac:

June 21st. The day before leaving she spoke
the whaler Progress, Captain Barker, and from
her learned that the Indians near East Cape
had found the two missing whalers, Vigilant

three corpses only on board the Vigilant.
From their appearance it was evident that they
had died in the first year of their captivity in
the ice. The Indians brought away from the
vigilant some money, a spyglass and a bomb
gun. No one, dead or alive, was found on the
Mount Wollaston. The revenue cutter Corwin

In the desert mountain ranges of California
and Arizona no rain falls. The area is covered
with cactus plants of every variety, and they
are juicy. Millions of land tortoises feed on
these plants, and the Indians make soup of
them. Inside of each is an anatomical tank that
holds about pint of water. Many are cut
open to get at the tank. The water is palata-
bic. Thus meat and drink arc supplied, and
the dry cactus makes excellent fuel.

Mr.. GARFIELD was haunted for years by the
presentiment, that he could never shake off,
that he would die by violence, as his father did,
and at his fathers age. The more he under

not until about six years ago, when he passed
tho age, A, at which his father died, that the
impression was weakened.
