SHOCKING CALAMITY.

A terrible calamity occurred at indianapolis
the other day. Through the center of the city
is a small creek called Pogue's run, which
in dry seasons is little more than mud pud-
die; but in the event of a sudden and heavy
rain, the extent Of country which it drains
makes it very dangerous. A tremendous
rain-storm, during which two inches of water
fell, swelled this stream to an unprecedented
height, and flooded the northern part of
the city, infictlng pecuniary damage
amounting to several hundred thousands Of
dollars The most terrible thing IN connec-
ton with the food, however, was the dreadful
loss of life. There was fraiI, half-rotten
bridge spanning Pogue's run, near the Union
depot. The water reached almost to the floor of
it, and was running very fast. On this were at
different times from ten to twenty-five spec
tators watching the flood. They were several
times warned that this was not safe, but paid
little attention to this Finally. when the
flood was at its highest, the bridge gave way,
precpitating twenty or more persons into the
water. Many of these were young girls who
worked at an adjoining factory, and nine of
these were saved by bystanders. The remain
der went through the tunnel, which is a square
in length, and strangely enough three of these
were rescued alive. The dead bodies of eight
persons were taken out within a few hours,
and it is believed that the list Of drowned viii
reach dozen.

MISCELLANEOUS GLEAN1NGs.

The crop reports from Minnesota and
look for spring wheat and other grams. In
Kentu,ky the prospect is excellent for wheat,
corn and tobacco. In the northern part of Ili-
nois corn is "doing as well as could be expected
under the circumstances" and there are
hopes of fair yield. The reports of the OPP
erations of the army-worm in Ohio continue to
show great devastation in rpenng fields of
wheat and barley. From Michigan the show
ing as to wheat is extremely favorable, and the
great boom in Kansas crops is undated In

Gov Sherman has issued the following pro-
clamation:
$40 the people of IoaoG: The tornado which
passed through the central portion of the State
on the night of the 18th inst. has proven one
of the most frightful calamities in the history
of the commonwealth. Along the path of the
storm, and especially at Grinnel and Malcolm,
there was not only great destruction of prop
erty, but an appalling loss of human life, and
many who escaped death in their ruined
homes are left in condition of suffering
and need which appeals earnestly to the gener-
osity of the people. Ready hands and gener-
GUS hearts have already done much to care for
the wounded and shelter the houseless, but the
results of so frlghtful disaster must be long
lasting, and others further removed from. the
scene only await an opportunity to aid their
stricken fellow-citizens.
81 do, therefore most heartily recommend
that all contributions for their relief be sent TO
the Hon. J. B. Grinnell, who is fully authorized
to receive them, and to whom such trust of
generosity may be most confidently committed.

From the above it appears that Kan
sas heads the list of increased farm acre
age since 1870, followed in order by
Georgia, Missouri and Iowa. The most
active growth of Illinois was between
1850 and 1860. The same is true of
Wisconsin, Indiana and California. In
all the Southern States the past decade
was one of unexampled growth. In that
period Alabama, Florida and Georgia
more than doubled their farm acreage.

The Three Cold DAYS Of Anril.

Few weather phenomena In this
country are more remarkable, and seem
at present less easily explained, than the
borrowing days." as they are called,
between the 10th and 18th of April,
when usually the temperature falls con-
siderably below that due to the time of
the year. The cold at this time is, at
any rate, sufficiently marked-hrst, to
have attracted long since general atten-
ton; and, secondly, to affect in a very
obvious manner the average tempera-
ture for these days during the last eighty
years. We find these three cold days Of
April, which, before the change of style,
were the first three days of the month,
thus described in doggerel lines in the
North of England:
March borrows from April
Three days, and they are i'll;
The first of them is wan and weet.
The second it is snsw an sleet
The third of them is peel-a- bane,
And freezes the wee birds neb lac stane.
The following lines are given in the
"Glossary of Scotch Words and Phras-
es :"
Said March to April,
Gle me three hoggs upon yon hill;
And in the space Of days three
I'll find place to gar them die
The first bitter blast did blaw,
The second 1t was sleet and shaw,
The third it came sac full freeze
The birds nebs they stack to the trees;
But when the days was past and game
The three puir hogs came hirplin hamS.
This is manifestly an imperfect version
of the lines in the poem called the
"Complaynt of Scotland, where the
borrowing of three April days is much
clearer tin the above account March
borrows hogs not days.:
March said to Aperin
see three hogs upon hill;
But lend your first three days to me,
And I'll be bound to gar them dee
The first it shall be wind and weet,
The next it shall be shaw and sleet
The third it shall be sic freeze,
Shall gar the birds stick to the trees,
But when the borrowed days were game,
The three silly hogs cam hirplin hame.
This is, I believe, the Oldest version
of the doggerel. It belongs a to time
when the three cold days of April really
were the first three days of April. The
other was modified to correspond with
the new style, according to which the
cold days fall in the heart of the month,
and cannot be very well imagined to be
borrowed from March. 1t is worthy of
observation how correctly common OBJ
servation has indicated the true position
of these cold days, for in the tempera-
ture curve derived from three quarters
of century of accurate observation at
Greenwich the depression corresponds
exactly with the days which before the
change of style were the LIST, Cd, and Sd
of April.-R. 4. Proctor, IN Knowledge.

Mrs. GARFIELD.-G. A. Townsend (Gath)
contributes the following bit of gossip about
Mrs. Garfield and her wealth
Mrs. Garfield is just as modest and quiet a
little woman as ever, though she is rich
woman, now-that is to say, she is so much
richer than she ever was before that she is
considered rich by herself, her friends and her
neighbors. l would like to take you around
to see her if you come to Cleveland. She is a
great pet in our town, though she does not
seem to know it. Cleveland worships the
memory of Garfield. She has $300,OOO in
Government bonds, the result of the subscrp-
ton. Then her husbands life was insured
for $50, 900, which she promptly received. She
also received the salary of the President for
the unoccupied first year amounting to about
$4,000. That makes S4O0, 900, does it not ?
Very we'll. Then add to it $50, ,0GO-the total
value of Garhell's estate. That was the total
amount that he was able to accumulate in a
life of fifty years. suppose that the income
from this total of more than S40O, 600 will be
$4,000 a year. She is also put on the pen
sion list at S5, 600 a year. So she is comfort
able and can raise her children well; but the
loss of Garfield was Il blow that will leave its
scar as long as she lives. Just think of that
little woman, almost dying at the White
House, when he took her to the seaside, and
returned to meet his death wound, and then
ralying, watching over him for months, sur
viving him and being well to-day.
