CYCLONES OF LATE YEARS.

The tornado, or cyclone as it is termed
in these latter years, is getting to be an
| institution in the land and the frequent
recurrence of the phenomena is attract
! ing general interest. Here in Texas we
have been, until quite recently, compar-
atively free from the dreaded visitations,
save IN the shape Of coast storms, but
the scenes OF death, suffering and dam
| age to property witnessed at Savoy, Val
ley Mills and one or two other points in
the state, within the past three years.
I are warnings that no section of
! Texas can hope for immunity. Mete-
| geological science, making such rapid
! strides year by year, is perhaps the only
! quarter to which the people Of this and
| other states can look for teachings in
| regard TO cyclonic characteristics
and warnings of the approach of the
death-dealing forces. The signal ser
vice bureau, that has proved so useful
in other respects, may, in time, estab
lish its competency to announce
the formation of these storm
centers, their course and force,
and thus afford timely warning to SEQ
tions that are liable to be visited. Ger
tsinly it is to be hoped that the subject
may be deemed worthy the most intelli-
gent consideration of scientific men, not
with the hope of averting the evil en-
tirely, but of lessening its horrors. Alb
solute immunity cannot be had, but nit
igation Is not an unreasonable aspira-
ton. The signal service of the govern
ment has accomplished so much of good
that one is encouraged to turn with
something of confidence to its kindly
offices in this matter Nothing seems
more reasonable than that science
should eventually prove mans true and
best helper in the legitimate task of
warding off those dangers that come out
of the workings OF natures inevitable

"THROTTLED" BY JAY G

"THROTTLED BY JAY GOULD.
The Tyler Courier having said: 1--WE
favor three cents a mile Just as long as
Jay Gould holds Texas by the throat, &"
the Houston Age responds:
If he holds her by the throat, he only
does it that he may make her open her
mouth and let him fill it with money.
He is terrible fellow, Jay Gould is, and
he has terrified the inhabitants of Texas
by building railroad from Fort Worth
to Ell Paso, and another from Fort Worth
to Waco, and another from Austin to
Laredo. Too much railroads altogether.
The Legislature ought to serve an injunc-
tion on him.
The Ages sarcasm is iniRitable, and
what is more important, it is to the
point. Within the past twenty months
Mr.. Gould and his associates have paid
out in Texas something over ten mil
hon dollars, increased the taxable values
Of the state several million dollars and
added thousands of people to the popu-
lation. 1t is nice to be throttled after
such fashion, and Texas may well pray
(if this is Jay Gould's style) that his
hand may never be taken from her
! throat

Senator BayGrd has contributed to the
Christian Union d short letter on success
IN public life, in which he states his con-
vlction that such success does not at all
involve disregard OF tie eauons Of pune
tiliously honorable action. He says Of
the young American who engages in
politics that the discovery of much
weakness and unworth may often pain
and disappoint him, and he may weary
OF the work and long for rest; but his
hands can be as clean and his soul as
white at the end Of the journey as when
he set out upon it" The silvcr-tongued
orator may take heart and hope over the
words of Mr. Bayard.

AN ATHEISTS OATH.

The Louisville Courier-Journal thus
notifies the world of fact and Bob In
gersou of an opportunity, or privilege.
as the case may be-
The court of appeals of Kentucky has
decided that an atheists testimony is RB
Ingersoll desires to climb q Kentucky
witness-stand, here's his chance.
Noting this identical decision, the st.
Louis Republican makes the very ap-
propriate comment that it is remark
able mainly in the fact that such an
issue should be raised at all. All the
states provide for the affirmation Of
witnesses who object to being sworn,
and that il itself evidences the fact that
it is universally recognized in this day
that testimony does not rest upon
the religious belief OF a wit
ness. Such qualification once raised,
the courts would be led into mex
tricable ENHANCEMENT. An atheist is
not easily discovered except by self-con-
fession, and between the domain Of or
thodox religion and real atheism is a
broad stretch Of uncertain ground that
many people are accustomed to call
atheism, but which those who occupy it
do not concede to be such. How, then,
could the courts determine an atheist?
BY strict definition an atheist is one
who denies the existence of a supreme
being. Yet some Of the boldest and
most notable free-t thinkers of this and
past days, who are commonly called
atheists, believe in the existence of
supreme being and are not atheists.
Neither Herbert Spencer nor Tom
Paine nor Voltaire can be classed as
atheists, nor have they so classed them
selves. Infdels they may be called, but
an infidel and au atheist are two very
different creatures.

President EincOIn's Remains
said TO He Petrified.
Springfield Dispatch

The attempt to steal the remains OF MIR
Lincoln about three years ago will be re
membered by almost every one. Ever
since theu the public, in fact everybody
save half dozen persons or so, intimate
ly connected with the Lincoln Monument
association, supposed Mr.. Lincoln's re-
mains We're inclosed in the marble sarco-
phagus which stands in the vestibule
leading to the crypt, where other mem
bers OF the family are entombed This is
not so, as yeur correspondent learned to-
day tor the first time. All that remains
of Mr. Lincoln have been buried In the
ground, under some portion OF the i'm
mense granite pie forming his monument,
ever since the attempted, robbery. and
are now III complete state or pctrifac-
ton. This startling statement is from
one who knows; auG will be news to all
but a few persons, as it was understood 2t
the time that the embGmers' work at
Washington. Immediately after the death
OF Mr.. Lincoln, was not n success, but a
bungle. Soon after the remains were en-
tombed at this city, in lS65-66. it was
said they were in a bad state OF decOmpO-
sitiOn, and that the embalming was not
working. This seems to haye been an er-
ror, as there is no doubt but that the
statement, that his remaids have turned to
stone is true.
