ST. PAUL, Minn., July Is.
Another tornado prevailed in the viciu-
ity of Birds Island, Mimi, recently, doing
great damage to buildings and crops. No
loss of life is reported. The new Baptist
church was lifted from its foundation and
totally wrecked, with several dwellings
and large number of outhouses.
Late reports from the storm which de-
vastated Fairfield show that it was the
most destructive storm ever known in Min
nesota. It began in Dakota ana the South
west, and swept over a strip Of country
one mile wide and forty long. Going in a
northeasterly direction, it crossed the
Hastings and Dakota road 1t Odessa, near
Ortonville. Here four buildings we're de-
mOlished. Then itswept farm houses along
its course for thirty miles, increasing in
fury as it went. Houses, barns, and farm
machinery were streWn in all directions,
and stock killed by the wholesale. 4 small
hamlet called Fairfield, ten miles north of
Appleton, was in the track Of the cyclone
the buildings remain to show where the
village stood. About fifteen persons were
killed and wounded. Some were not re-
covered until the following morning, hav-
ing been dropped half a mile away. The
people are still i'll most pitiable plight,
with no shelter or clothing.
4 young woman who was arrested the
other day for bathing in the Serpentine,
in London, pleaded that it was $50 very
hot" and was accordingly dismissed BY
the amiable magistrate with an injunction
to cool off in some more secluded spot.
Mr.. Labouchere, after recitin9 somewhat
similar case which has just occurred at
Uurlingham, where man who had been
bathing from a boat and could not get
back to it terrified a party of ladies by
lodging about from tree to tree in quest of
some means of capturing the craft, calmly
tells the following pleasing tale of himself:
The same thing once occurred to me at
venice. had a room on tf1a .s'1> - = coy,
iii hotel on the Grand Canal. About l
O'Clock in the morning everything seemed
quiet, aud it occurred to me that should
like to battle; SO l jumped into the water
from my window. Having swum about
for some time, | thought ! would return
to the hotel. What was my horror to find
that an English family-papa, mamma
and five daughters-had established them
selves on the steps Of the hotel. There
was no help for it, SO calmly landed and,
bowling respectfully to the ladies, rega1ned
nv room. The next day sat opposite the
family at dinner. They told me what had
occurred, and deeply sympathized with
them in their Indignation against those
sshorrid and disgusting" Italians.

Queer Bedroom Companions.

experience one may have in trying to
get natural sleep in var1ously populated
India. What would some Of your read
ers think, while lying quietly in bed be-
meath the inevitable mosquito net, If
they were to see, gazing intently from
the ceiling right above, long, green
lizard or centipede, challenging each
other to mortal combat; the centipede
loses his hold, drops down on the sheet
and whips under the bed; you involun-
tarily shut your mouth quickly, and
turn over on your face, wondering
whether or not he went down your
throat or under the bed; you next closely
scrutinize the horizon line of the mat
tress, and only being gifted with the
power of seeing in one spot at the same
time, you pivot around ON your knees
with a pillow appraised, ready to smash
him the moment you see his eye peer
ing over the edge-but he comes not.
Your attention is next called to half
hundred black bugs, which are indulg-
ing in a game of lawn-tennis on the
floor, when in steps bandicoot, rat as
big as 'yaller dog,,' and devours this

Monkeys.

Some sailors belonging to vessel an
chored near Columboo, while ashore,
tried to capture monkey. AS soon as
they put hands on him he gave series
of yells, when, as if by magic, every
tree swarmed with indignant monkeys.
An order to make for the boat was
promptly obeyed. When the monkeys
saw their enemy on a full retreat they
formed in solid body and followed hur.
riedly in their wake. Sticks, stones,
and every available missile was hurled
furiously at the heads of the flying sail
ors. In vain did they drop their prize,
hoping that it might pacify their en-
ragged pursuers. It was not so; only one
dropped out of the ranks to gather in
its hairy embrace the unofending object
of the fray; while the others rushed on
more frantically than ever. Reaching
the boat, they had not time to jump in,
but showed her off from the gunwales,
and crawling in only when some distance
had been placed between them and their
implacable foe. When they had arrived
at safe place to lie, they rested on their
oars and curiously scanned the infuri-
ated army on the beach. There ap-
peared to be thousands of them, run
ming up and down in wild confusion, and
hurting stones far out into the water in
the direction of the boat.

What Might Not a Beetle See?

1df0 YOU over pduSCu AOI ~ uOuiOho
to consider how much man loses for
want of that microscopic eye, upon the
absence of which Pope was apparently
inclined rather to congratulate his fell
low-beings than otherwise? What a
wonderful world we should all live in if
only we could see it as this little beetle
here sees it, half buried, as he is, in a
mighty forest of luxuriant, tall green
moss. just fancy how grand and
straight and majestic those slender
sprays must look to him, with their
waving, feathery branches spreading on
every side, thousand times more grace
fully than the long boughs of the lowell
est tropical palm-trees on some wild
jamaican hillside. How quaint the tall
capsuls must appear to his eyes-great
yellow seed vessels nearly as big as him
self, with comical, pink-edged hood,
which pops off suddenly with bang,
and showers down monstrous nuts upon
his head when he passes beneath. Gaze
closely into the moss forest as it grows
here beside this smooth, round stone
where we are sitting, and imagine you
can view it as the beetle views it. Put
yourself in his place, and look up at it
towering three hundred feet above your
head, while you vainly strive to find
your way among its matted underbrush
and eense labyrinths of close grown
trunks. Then just look at the mighty
monsters that people it. That little red
spider, magnified to the size of sheep,
must be gorgeous and Strengthening
creature indeed, with his vivid crimson
body and his mailed and jointed legs.
Yonder neighbor beetle, regarded as an
elephant, would seem terrible wild
beast in all seriousness, with his solid
coat of bronze FURNISHED armor, his huge
hook-ringed antenn@, and his fearful
branched horn, ten times more terrible
than that of furious rhinoceros charg-
ing madly through the African jungles.
Why, if you will only throw yourself
honestly into the situation, and realize
that awful life and death struggle going
on between an ant and a May-fy before
our very eyes, you will see that Living
ston, Serpa Pinto and Gordon Cum
ming are simply nowhere beside you;
that even Jules Verne's widest story is
comparatively tame and commonplace
in the light Of that marvellous miniature
forest. Such a tumble of puzzle mon
keys, and bamboos, and palms, and ban
yam trees and crags, and roots, and
rivers, and precipices was never seen;
inhabited by such terrible and beauti-
full phantasmagoria of dragons, hippo
grifs, unicorns, rocs, chim@ras, serperts
and wyverns as no medieval fancy ever
invented, no Greak mythologist ever
dreamed Of, and no Arabian story-teller
ever tabled. And yet after all, to our
clumsy big eyes, it is but little patch

Estate Airs.

I have often seen piano-forto players
and singers make such strange motions
over their instruments and song books
that I wanted to laugh at them. Where
did our friends pick up all these fine &C.
static airs? would say to myself. But
one day I bought me a canary bird, and
hung HIM up in cage at my window.
By and by he found himself at homo
and began to pipe his little tunes, and
there he was sure enough, swinging and
waving about, with all the droopings
and fittings and languishing side turn
ings of the head, that I had laughed at.
And now should like to ask who taught
him all this? And me, through him,
that the foolish head was not the one
swinging itself from side to side, and
bowling and nodding over the music, but

Il Funeral and Eitn.

The Conemaras held an ex-post facto
wake last evening, with beer attachment,
resulting, as was to be expected, in a
free fight. John Coony, the unfortunate
man who was crushed by the falling of
an embankment On Friday, was buried
yesterday afternoon. After attending
the funeral the Conemaras assembled
last night to talk matters over and have
a little festivity with key of beer. They
had it decidedly, and about IL p. M, the
festivities eliminated in a general row,
during which Martin Tierney's house
was stoned, the windows broken, and
Tierney's head cut open. The police
were summoned, and officers Getchell,
O'Keefe, Lynch and Moriarty responded
and placed under arrest Coleman Welch,
Martin Tierney, Val. Neatly, Michael
Neatly and Ed Neatly. The prisoners
were taken to the city hall and locked up.
Unfortunately no one was killed.

DON'T be In a Hurry.

It's no sort of use. We never knew q
man who was always in a hurry who
wasn't always behind time. They are
proverbial all over the world for bring
ing nothing at all to pass, Hurry,
skurry, bluster-what does it all amount
to? Not straw. If you want to ac-
complish anything as it should be done,
you must go about it coolly, moderately.
faithfully, heartily. Hurrying, fretting
and Tuning and spluttering, will do no
good-not in the least. Are great works
of men done in hurry? Not at all.
They are the product Of time and pa
tience-the result Of slow, solid develop
ment. Nothing ought to be done in a
hurry. 1t is contrary to nature, right,
justice and common sense. Your man
of hurry is no sort of character at all.
Always in confusion, loose at every
point, nnhinged and unjointed, blowing

The Capital City Guards.

The Capital City Guards, is the name
of city military organization, organized
and conducted independent of the state
militia laws. The company has been in
existence some four months, during
which time it has held weekly drills, up
to this time, being without arms, simply
in the school of the soldier, in which it
has become creditably proficient.
The company now numbers some
forty-seven members, and steps have al
ready been taken to purchase breech-
loading muskets, which has been decided
upon as the style of arms to be used.
Before doing anything in this direction,
however, it has been determined that the
membership shall number fifty, and it is
hoped that number may be early secured.
The next drill meeting will be held Tues
day evening next at 7:30 O'Clock, at
Market hall, at which recruits who can
pass the muster will be received.

The GluttOn0us Laps.

Laplanders are blessed with very
hearty appetites. The peasant Of that
country is said to consume ten times
more flesh than the natives of Sweden.
A deer is just enough to last family Of
four one week, and Won Buch, the trav-
eler, says:
81 have seen reindeer flesh cooked in
the huts for the whole family in large
iron kettles; when cooked, The meat was
Immediately torn asunder by the master
Of the house, with his fingers, and the
eagerness with which each of the in
mates received share, and strove, as if
for wager, to tear it with his hands and
teeth, is almost incredible. When the
flesh is devoured, broth in which it was
boiled is mixed with the reindeer milk
and taken with the same avidity."
