BRooKHAvEN, Mss, April 9th.
A terrible cyclone struck Monticello, the
county seat of Lawrence yesterday. 1t
wrecked the town. The Courthouse, jail,
brick stores, bank and every business and
dwelling house in the place were demolished.
Ten persons were killed instantly-fve
whites and five eolored. The names of the
whites are as follows: H. Wethersby, Chan
Gerry Clerk; Allen Sharp, Mrs. Cannon and
baby and Rev. S. w. Dale. Out of a pop
ulatiou of about 100 very few escaped with
out some injury Between Is and 20 were
seriously injured, some it is thought, fatally.
Ex-Sherif Butler and wife are painfully
injured. Jake Myer had his collar-bone
broken and was injured about the face.
Charley Cohn had his leg broken. The store
of Mr.. Cohn, after being blown down, was
struck by lightning and entirely consumed.
There was not a tree left standing in the
place. The fne residence of Hon Sam.
Hickman, Representative in the Legislature
four miles southwest of Monticello, was en-
tirely demolished; no one was hurt.
Among the accidents was the blowing away
of a lady who has not been heard of Allen
Sharp, and Mrs. Carlisle and daughter were
among the injured. The people are in a
sad condition and need help. X. y.

President Arthurs statesmanlike and
Timely Message on the Mississippi
River Question.

1t is a brave and timely manifesto
which President Arthur has made to
Congress on the Mississippi River ques-
ton. 1.-The hour and the man have
both come" When Others were wayer-
ing, uncertain what TO do, he has met
the issue squarely. He has taken the
responsibility and has spoken the right
word at the right time, He admonishes
Congress that the improvement of the
Mississippi river is the duty of the gen.
eral government that its performance
will not admit Of delay that it should
not stand upon the order of doing, but
do at once; that it being government
work. it does not resolve itself into a
question of dollars and cents, and should
be done if it cost thirty millions or
more. Nor does he stop to look at the
subject in its sectional aspects, if any
it has. He takes q higher stand and
impresscs US with the pleasant reflection
thai if the occasion has demanded a
''clear mind, true faith and a ready
hand he ha. supplied the need of the
hour-and that in this emergency, if
never again, he has shown himself:
a tai. m .n--sun-crywned, vino lives above
the fog,
Ia public duty, and in private thinking"
When President Arthur delivered his
annual message without even so much
as abiding to sectional question, much
less following the example Of his pre-
decess0rs, Grant, Hayes and Garfield
in upbtaiding the South for imputed
shortcomings, we referred to it as a rift
in the clouds, betokening 'an era of
good feeling between the two sections.
Close upon his message, comes tbs
timely document with its broad, liberal
and staiesmanlike recommendations,
and our hope derives new strength that
such an era is indeed dawning, and that
peace and good viii are once again to
shed their halcyoa influences over the
land

The following handsome tribute to
Miss Sallie B. Morgan's book, of which
we had occasion to speak in recent
number, is from the Virginia City (Ne-
vada) Enterprise
TAHOE, OR LIFE IN CALIFORNIA. A romance,
by Miss Sallie b Morgan, Atlanta, Ga James
z. Harrison & Co., publishers
Miss Morgan, a Mississippi lady, spent last
Summer at Lake Tahoe, and the book which
she now gives to the public is the result of
her experience in California and at the
Lake. There are some charming bits of
descriptive writing scattered through its
pages, particularly those relating to Tahoe
scenery. The plot is sensational, the charac-
tiers well drawn and the interest in their
movements well sustained. A charming
love story, clandestine elopement and
bank robbery afford some thrilling situa-
lions, which the author works up for all
they are worth. The Chinese question she
also incidentally touches.

EDITORS CLARION: A Cyclone passed
over Monticello, in Lawrence County, last
Saturday, about u o'clock, destroying the
entire town, except two buildings which
were left standing.
So far as l can learn up to this writing,
the following list comprises the names OF
those that were killed, to-wit:
Rev. S. w. Dale, of the Monticello AdYo-
cate.
Mr.. Hez. Weathersby, Clerk Of Court.
Mrs. DIR. Cannon and daughter
Allen Sharp, Lewis Coon, aud four ne
groes.
A great many whose names l could not
learn are wounded, and We understand that
the utmost suffering and restitution pre-
walls, as provisions, clothing, in fact every
thing was totally destroyed.
The citizens Wesson are raising con-
tributions this morning to send to the suf
ferers.
a gentleman of who left there yesterday
says the scene of destruction is indeed
awful, and beyond description.
Have heard nothing of the effects of the
storm beyond Monticello, but fear the worst,
as utter destruction was in its path. It's
direction wasfrom about southwest to north
east. Yours truly,

1t said mo more Chinese immigra-
ton except for travel, education and
commerce" Gen. Hancock accepted
the platform with the nomination, and
said he would maintain" it. The three

more Chinese immigration" obeyed
their will.

The Oregon Republican State Con,
vention condemns the Hiawain recipro-
city treaty as an imposition on the
Government and people and should be
abrogated regards the Presidents veto
ofthe Chinese bill as unwise and unjust,
and condemns the policy which prompt
ed it as opposed to the prime iples Of the
Republican party, as expressed in the
platform of the last National Republican
Convention, and demands that their
representatives in Congress persist in
the restriction of Chinese
immigration. The Democrats Of Oregon
have passed similar resolutions.
