Sudden and Violent.

The change from the summer to the
fall season is so sudden and violent here
in the West that few can get through
the winter months without having a
cough or cold of more or less severity
fastened upon them. The seeds Of
that dread. disease consumption are
usually sown in one of these much
dreaded months. Browns Expector-
ant is a sure cure for the most violent
coughs and colds, and will arrest con-
sumption if taken in time

HE was a brand new office-boy,
young, pretty-faced, with golden ring
lets and blue eyes. just such boy
as one would imagine would be taken
out of his little trundle-bed in the
middle of the night and transported
beyond the stars. The first day he
glanced over the library in the edito-
rial room, became acquainted with
everybody, knew all the printers, and
went home in the evening as happy
and CHEEKY as a sunbeam The next
day he appeared, leaned out of the back
window, expectorated on bald-headed
printers pate; tied the cat up by the
tail in the hallway; had four fights
with another boy; borrowed two dol
lars from an occupant of the building,
saying his mother was dead; collected
his two days pay from the cashier;
hit the janitor with a broomstick;
pawned coat belonging to a member
Of the editorial staff; wrenched the
knobs off the doors; upset the ice
cooler; pied three galleys Of type; and
mashed his finger in the small press.
On the third day a note was received,
saying: mi Mother do not want to
work in such dull place. She says
I Would make Good preacher. so

CUPID's CONQUEsTS.

The telegraph records the sorrows Of
two illustrious victims of disappointed
love- One is the bright and attractive
little actress, Lolita. According to the
story, mutual attachment sprung up be-
tween her and young Philadelphia.
The youthful Quaker was entrusted with
the handling of her funds, of which he
distributed $13, 900 among poker and wine
rooms in the most approved fashion. The
lovers quarrelled, and the young man soon
after died, presumably from remorsc.
Since then the little actress has been
downcast and sorrOwful, and regularly
visits the spot where his remains repOse.
The other story refers to no less a per
sonage than the sovereign of the British
empire 1t is stated that since the death
of her servant, John Brown, the queen
has been subject to fits of depression, has
paid frequent visits to his grave, and has
given evidences of q broken heart-in 6
word, the queen of England was mashed
on Brown in much the same manner as
the ordinary school girl who elopes with
her fathers coachman.
The little god with the bow and arrow
has reason to feel proud of these illustri-
GUS conquests-the one the undisputet
queen of the variety stage, the other thu
sovereign OF the most powerful empire tht
world has ever seen.

CHAMPAIGN. H., June 19.-Since last re-
port agricultural prospects have frightened
somewhat in this region Frequent showers
prevent much cultivation, but the weather
has turned warm and things are beginning
to grow Complaining is about finished,
while some of the earlier planted is six and
eight inches high. Oats promise heavy yield,
but it is yet too soon to gamble on the crop;
dry weather, rust, chinch bugs and other ills
may yet ruin it, as they did in 1881. The
yield of hay will be enormous, yet the old
stock on hand is held at Sc to s. per ton. But
little farm produce of any kind is being
marketed.
ST. LOUIS, June 19-The river has risen

their houses in both northern and southern
parts of the city on the river front, and also

AMERICA AND GREAT RR1rA1N

There is no occasion for war between
the United States and Great Britain, and
no such lock of amiable feeling between
the two countries as can justify any one
in straining to break the existing friendly
relations. Recent events have given
each country an opportunity to sound
the depths of this friendship, and with
the testimony so lately given, in the
death of Garfield and when Queen Vic.
toria was thought to have fatally injured
herself, of the firm bond of union that
really exists between the child in the new
world and the mother in the old, we have
proof no one can gainsay of the earnest
wish of the masses of both nations fol-
the unbroken maintenance of our present
harmonious and peaceful relations. These
are facts that must always be remembered
when the Incorporate utterances of noisy
and irresponsible demagogues seem to in
dictate the existence of different feel
ing. Such uncalled-for remarks as art
reported as made by Gov. Butler at the
banquet given Thursday evening, by tn,
Boston Lancers, to the visiting compan.
from New Orleans, reflect in no degre
the feeling or the wishes of the American
people. 1t was well enough for him t.

There has been considerable complaint
and fault-finding with the action OF the
British government in sending to this
country great numbers of Irish and Scotch
families unable 10 sustain themselves at
home. The ground of complaint has
been that these people were largely pau
pers, who would become burden on the
country. It is stated as result of inves-
tigation, among those who have landed
that they are nearly all able-bodied and
not at all Objectionable from the cause
named. In other words, the assisted
emigrants are no more Objectionable, as a
class than those who come by their own
means. OF course they have little or 20
money when they land, but they can work,
and that is capital in this country.

PI7rsBURG, Pa, June ia special to The
Chronicle, from Steubenville, O., says: "Hun-
dreds of people visited the scene of the
cyclone to-day and viewed with astonshnent
the destruction Of property in the city. The
storm appears to have formed about one mile
west of here, in Union cemetery, and moved
eastward until it reached the high hill over
looking the northern portion of the city, when
it descended with terrific force damaging
and destroying almost everything in its path
as it swept across the city, distance of half
a mile, and plunged into the waters of the
Ohio, lifting them up, in the shape of a
waterspout, to the height of 100 feet. To-day
Photographic views are being taken of the
destruction The loss is estimated at S12,O 600
to $4,000. The most remarkable thing is
the fact that no one was injured, though the
storm passed over thickly inhabited part of
the city and its path swept the finest resi-

and seriously but not fatally hurting several
persons. Lumber yards were stirred up and
shade trees twisted, but no serious damage
was caused to buildings. The storm center
was just outside the town. Two years ago
Colfax was terribly devastated by a cyclone
MENDOZA, Ill, June 19-The storm did
much damage in the vicinity of Arlington
ten miles west of here. Several corn-cribs
were blown to fragments, many cattle were
injured, miles of fences were blown down,
orchards were leveled to the ground, and
there was much destruction of property gen
orally; but no loss of life is reported. The
same tornado struck a section of Troy
Grove, fifteen miles east of Arlington,
and did similar damage. It was fol-
lowed by deluging rain, that raised the
creeks and water courses several feet high
in the course Of very short time, and
flooded all the lowlands in the vicinity and
washed much corn and other cereals COM
pletely out from sloping lands. Crop pros
poets are much better than had been expected
three weeks since, and the great trouble now
is to keep down the weeds, which is no small
task,
