WHEELING, March 27.-The most
severe hail storm known here since
1869 occurred about two O'Clock to-
day. It was short but severe. Hail
stones. many of them as large as wal
nuts. fell with Incredible force ana
rapidity. A brisk breeze blew from
the West, and the hail pelted expes-
ed sides of buildings like rifle balls.

north end, and the damage at the

SALT LAKE CITY, March N.-In
some cases, as of City Councils, whore
the body is empowered to I'LL vacan-
cies. the polygamists are resigniDg at
once, and monogamists are being
elected in their places. What is
gained is not apparent, for no one has
proposed to supersede the polygam-
lists in Office save by election under
existing laws. The Mormon Ne,gy
strongly advocates the appointment
of non-residents for election commits
sioners under the Edmunds bill. 1t
says most appointees to federal posi-
lions in the territory are scalawags.
But even these would suit them bet
ter than residents, because a commits
sion of strangers would mean the
failure of the scheme of the plotters-
that is, things would be left pretty
much as they are. The Gentiles are
the plotters referred to. The Tribune
(Gentile) says that there are residents
of Utah we'll qualified in every way
who would willingly serve gratuit-
ously rather than see the commission
made up of men who do not UNDER
stand the situation here, and who
would possibly be hoodwinked. trick
ed or cajoled. The Gentiles consider
the Mormon unanimity for COM
mission of strangers a strong argu-
ment against it.

A Better Outlook.

VICKsBURG, March q. - The
steamer Carroll, from Sharkey, on
the Tallahatchie river, reports a fall
of Is inches at that point. and that
many planters are preparing to re.
sumo work. 1t was reported that
the Clubhouse of d, G.. Pepper had
fallen in, killing and drowning a
number of people, but this report was
not credited by the officers of the
Carroll. A man named Louis STAN
ley was drowned at Mrs. Dams place,
near Chotard, on Saturday. Two
negroes were capsized in a skiff at
Major Higgins place. in the same
neighborhood, and both were drown
ed. The house of Henry Davenport,
On Peeler's place, was washed away,
and everything he had lost. The
compress here. which has been under
water, was opened to day fer busi-
ness. The steamer Sunfower, from
Fasonia, 215 miles up the Sunhower
river, arrived this morning. and re-
ports the river as falling at that
point, with total fall of two feet at
Campbellsville, 80 miles up, and fall
ing one inch in "a hours.
An unusually heavy rain fell there
last night, of several hours dura-
ton.
From passengers by the Sunflower
we learn that there is much dissatis-
faction up the Sunfiower river with
the manner in which the rations
were distributed by the United States
steamer Anita on her trip up. Plant
ers and laoorers object to merchants
acting as distribution agents. The
steamer Ike Bonham, from Little
Deer Greek, came in to-day with 70
of the stock and 43 passengers, 1000
sacks of seed and AZ bales of cotton.
A fall of seven inches is reported in
the creek, with a strong current.
which indicated general decline of
water. The Bonham went as high
as Gibbons Landing, Sharkey coun-
ty. She reports but little destitute
in the section. Planters generally
think good crop will be made.

tions, and many places are beginning
to show up and blowing is going on.
The town of Mayersville is out of

Planting is going on at Lelahds
and Vacluses, in Arkansas; land is
in sight at Sunnyside, Lake Port,

cher's Point, Wilson's Point, Cotton
wood. Villas Vista, Point Lookout,

planters are very busy. Planting in
the Deer Creek country generally
commenced last Saturday. A large
portion of the Sunfiower country is
still under water, but is falling at the
rate of three inches per day, The
total fall at Johnsonyille has reached
about three feet. 1t is the feeling
generally among the planters in the
above mentioned districts that the
water will now run off in time to en-
able them to make good crops.

Last weeks events al Annapolis
have shown to the managers that
Governor Hamilton is not weak
enough to be misled by the promises
or intimidated by the threats of those
who want to use him to serve their
selfish purposes. Promises of future
supportdid not have the desired effect
of inducing him to withdraw from
the Senate the names of respectable
men obnoxious to certain bosses. and
threats that the nominees would be
rejected had as little weight. 1t is
strange that the Bourbon leaders will
learn nothing by experience. They
pursue the same old tactics session
after session, with very little varia-
tions, and live in the happy delusion
that their offers of peace will be earn
estly considered by men to whom the
same propositions have been made
time and time again, only to be bro
ken. Two weeks before the close of
the last session the bosses, in full
strength, waited on the Governor to
assure him of their pacific intentions,
although they had fought him uncom-
promisingly since the beginning of
that session. 1t was soon found that
the object of their visit was to pre-
vail upon Governor Hamilton to ap-
point their favorites as supervisors
of election for Baltimore city. The
Governor turned a deaf ear to their
advances, and the peace conference
proved to be a huge failure. The
same experiment was attended with
similar results this session. A few
of Senator Germans friends appar-
emily intend to keep coquetting with
the Governor for while longer. The
state senator from Mr.. Germans
county, and who is known as the
Iatter's particular friend, voted for
several of Governor Hamilton's re-
jected nominees, including one to-
baccO inspector and one of the Demo
cratic supervisors of election. 1t was
safe to do this, for the majority gainst
them was large. When the bill to
take from the Governor the appoint
ment of supervisors of election was
on its passage before the Senate the
senator kept up appearances and
voted against it, but when it was
found that the bill could not pass
without his vote, he quickly changed
his mind and voted for the bill. A
few days after Senator Bans defeat
for police commissioner, when the
German adherents were full of hope
that they would succeed in effectine
coalition with the Governor, a GER
tain prominent Democratic member
of the committee on executive NOM
ination ventured the remark that he
did not see why the Governors nom-
nations should not be confirmed
that Governor Hamilton meant well
and that he would be reasonable in
his future actions. But all this is
changed now. Governor Hamilton
proposes to stand on his record. II
Senator German wants an alliance
with him he must come over to him
and subscribe to his principles and
platform, and abide by the issue.
But Mr.. Hamilton will not listen to
compromises. He will seek no en-
tangling alliances and put himself
under no obligations. He will con-
tinue as he has. and those who do not
fancy it must remain where they are,

THE THREE LITTLE CHAIRS.

They sat alone by the bright wood fire,
The gray haired dame and the aged sire,
Dreaming of days gone by;
The tear-drops fell on each wrinkled cheek,
They both had thoughts they could not speak,
And each heart uttered sigh.
For their sad and fearful eyes deserted
Three little chairs placed side by side
Against the sitting groom wall,
Old-fashioned enough there they Stood
Their seats of flag and their frames of wood,
With their backs so straight and tall.
Then the sire shook his sivery head,
And. with trembling voice, he gently said;
Mother, these empty chairs!
They bring us such sad thoughts tonight
Wen put them forever out of sight
In the small, dark room upstairs"
But she answered: Father, no; not yet;
For look at them and forget
That the children are away;
The BOYS come back and our Mary, too,
With her apron on of checkered blue,
And sit there every day.
johnny still whites a ships tall masts,
And Willie his leaden bullets casts.
While Mary her patchwork sews;
Az evening the three childish prayers
Go up to God from these little chairs
So softly that no one knows.
Johnny comes back from the billOw deep;
Willie wakes froI. the battlefield sleep
To say goodnight to me;
Eary's a wife and mother no more,
But tired child whose play-time Is DER,
And comes to rest nj my knee.
q So let them stand there though empty now,
And every time when alone we bow
At the Fathers throne TO pray,
Wen ask TO meet the children above
In our Savior's home of rest and love.
Where no child goeth away"
