A tornado on the 30th ult., nearly demolished
the-town OF Madison, Neb., having 1000 in
habitants. The railway buildings were wrecked
and most of the private residence are believed.
to have been laid level, and two persons
are known to be killed. Telegraph wires
down. The Union Pacific Railway sent out
a train to the homeless people and for the use
Of its Offices. The storm also swept over STAN
ton, blew down twelve buildings and injured
twenty persons, one, a lady, fatally. Many are
homeless, and have lost all they possessed. A
dispatch of same date, from Empora, Kansas,
says: "Thelong drouth was broken here by
one Of the heavsest rain storms ever seen in
this section. The streets were literally flooded
in half an hour, and rRvines ran like rivers.
After this storm subsidized another arose in the
west, which soon turned into violent and
destructive cyclone. A dark, greenish-looking
cloud made its appearance about $50 p. M,
which attracted attention, but it was not be-
ieved it was fraught with danger at this
late season of the year. The cylone
seemed to have started at point
few miles west of the city, and travelled in
northeasterly direction, leaving Emporii only
about mile and half from its track. Nothing
is heard of its dew station further than point
fifteen miles northeast of here. It was one of
the most destructive storms that ever visited
this section Of the State, and in this city there
are now lying four dead bodies of people killed
by rs fury, while along its track lie debris Of
many ruined homes. As many as q score Of
buildings were utterly demolished. The loss
of property is very great, and large numbers Of
people were injured by falling stones, flying
timbere, ETC."

The string that tied the dog fetched loose,
The dog came bowling on:
That misadventure cooked his goose,
His cup Of joy was gone.
Swiftfor the picket fence he sped.
As swallows skim the plain;
Two inches scant the dog has led;
He never smiled again.
Bright eyes were passing on the street,
Soft voices laughed in glee
And merry shouts from happy hearts
Called other hearts to see
He reached the fence, he strove to climb
With sudden, mighty strain;
Sore was his neei, scant was his time
He never smiled again.
Where erst like robins in the spring
HIS sweethearts voice he heart,
He hears her fathers accents r,ny
With many hear:less word.
One leg the bI istling fence bestrides,
But iiastening in Ills train
The naughty dog his speed derides-
He never smiled again.
Around him whirlcd the giddy thruna
With happy fancies bl st;
Around him rose the registering song,
Th'. laugh, he merry Jest;

Ere sorrow breaks it, Chain;
But that dog chewed him all torlOrr--

The Queen and the Poor Peasant.

The accident of royal notice and pat
ronage has often lifted worthy persons
and families of humble birth into refine
ment and places of distinction. An ad-
venture pointing to such a result is re-
lated in this recent story of the Queen
of Italy.
- It appears that, as she was driving to
the royal wood of Licalo the coachman
mistook the road, and one of the gentle
men asked countryman the way. The
man, seeing the fine carriage and horses,
and the servants livery, and all the gay
company, thought he was being fooled.
GAS if you did not know 7" he said, with
big grin. The Queen laughed, and
assured him that they were lost. Then
only did the countryman condescend to
point out the way, after which he walked
off as if fearing to be laughed at again.
"Giye him 20 francs for his trouble"
said the Queen to one of her escort, who,
going after the countryman, said to him:
Here, my man, is little present from
the Queen of Italy, who thanks you"
i" The Queen I" cried the countryman,
returning to the carriage. Forgive
me that I did not know thee. But had
never seen thee before. Thou art as
beautiful as MAJ rose. God bless
thee" And the carriage drove of.
Now the countryman, who had once
seen the Queen, wanted to see her pretty
face again, and the following day he
presented himself at the palace.
"I know her, you know" he added,
mysteriously. spoke to her yester-
day, and I want to speak to her again. -
Thinking he had to do with madman,
the porter was about to have the poor
fellow arrested, when the very gentleman
who had given him the 20 francs APP
peared, and, recognizing the man, told
him to wait. He informed the Queen of
his presence. "Bring him here, by all
MEANS" was her answer.
When the man was, for the second
time, before the Queen, he said Yes,
tits thou. I thought had seen fairy.
Thou art Just an angel I did not tell
thee yesterday that I had two little ones
without mother. Wilt thou be their
mother ?"
"That I will, said the Queen.
"Then there's the 20 francs thou
gavest me yesterday. I thank thee, but
/ want no money" And he went away,
crying and smiling like child.
The Queen has adopted the two little
ones, and they are in an institution un-
der her special patronage.

Hostile Apaches.

A San Carlos special says the son Of Saco,
formerly war chief of Victorio, died, and the
father applied for permission to kill squaw,
charged with bewitching him. Permission was
denied. The surrendered hostiles Of the
Sanchez and other bands number 60 bucks, IS
squaws and 76 children. An officer Of General
Carr's command reports that when they re-
turned to Cioicu they found the Indians had
exhumed the b5dies of Captain Hentig and the
soldiers killed there. The dead men had been
buried in canvas tents, which the Indians had
carried OF, leaving certain articles they did not
want. Captain Hentig's head was mashed with
large stones, the body mutilated, and one hand
aud foot gone. The command buried the re-
mainder and fired q salute.

E. A. Gordon, editor of the Times, published

President. Finding they could do nothing else,
the citizens, irrespective Of party, burned the

The Trouble in Tunis. ,

An important engagement has taken place
south of Susa, Tdnis. The Arabs admit the
loss Of fifty killed aud many wounded. The
French loss is unknown. The probable de-

exciting the Moslem world, and will tend to
consolidate Moslem antipathy to Christian rule

volt. A dispatch from Paris says 2,S00 troops
have embarked at Toulouse for Tunis.

It appears, according to recent developments,
that the difficulty some time ago between the
Guard Magill and Guiteau was an attempt on
the part Of Magill TO kill Guiteau. At the
time and since, Magill has been unable to ex-
plain the cause for his presence in the cell.
When by Guiteau's cries for help succor came,
Guiteau held Magill from behind, having his
arms pinioned, and Magill was making an
effort to lse pistol which he held in his hand.
1t was only Guiteau's superior strength, and
his constant watchfulness that he was not
killed.

A Lonely Home.

Mrs. Garfield and her family have return d
to their Mentor home. OF this mournful re-
turn writer touchingly says: "What sorrow
crowded into the months that have passed since
they turned their backs upon Mentor to enter
the White House. First, Mrs. Garfield was
stricken by disease, and fingered for weeks, ap-
parently between life and death. Then the hus-
band, father and President, was shot down, and
from July until September 19 was the care
of the mother, and children, and friends. Trou-
BILE met the family almost upon the threshold
of the Executive Mansion, and left it not until
the soul of its head took its everlasting fight.
Then the homeward journey began. What
q mournfhl trip it was! The remains of the
husband and son and father were left by the
way. All the rest respond to the roll call at
the farm home. There is only one vacant
seat in the family circle, but what vacancy
that is 1t is place that can not be filed.
When the departure was made for Washington;
the ranks were full and the cup of Joy was run
ming over. The return is made with broken
ranks, and the cup of sorrow is full to over
flowing"
