A Heavy Storm in Texas.

A special to the Fort Worth (Texas)
Gazette gives meagre particulars of
terrific wind and hail storm which pass
ed over the country south and west of
that place Friday evening. 1t was first
reported at Cameron, about $50 miles
south on the Santa Fe road, and seems
to have followed the line of that road,
doing great damage to houses and fences
until it reached Cleburne, thirty miles
south of that place, when it turned west
ward, and passed over Palo Pinto and
Mineral Wells, where it was last heard
from. At Palo Pinto the Masonic hall
and steam Touring mill were blown
down. Loss, $4,000. Several people
were seriously injured. Another storm
passed over Bonham from the same
direction, but four hours earlier. The
amount of damage is not reported.

The foreign exports offresh dressed
beef from the United States for last
month aggregated l2.665,042 pounds,
against 7,S45, 300 pounds during March,
1882. an increase of 5,329,752 pounds.
Nearly this entire product comes from
the west, and, added to the dressed
beef that is shipped to eastern cities for
domestic consumption, the aggregate be.
comes simply enormous. It is no won
der that western dealers resent the eff
forts of the railroad syndicate to control
this immense trade in their own interests
and against those who have built it up to
its present proportions.
There was novel expectation at San
Francisco lately. Two hundred sacks of
orange peel, valued at $1,000. were
shipped to Havre. It was the first ship
ment of the kind from that port, and is
the more singular because the orange
peel consumed in this country is i'm
ported, and in large part is from South
ern France. Orange peel is worth about
eight cents pound. Oranges are
80 plentiful in France, Spain
and Italy, as we'll as in
Florida and in the West Indies, that
peel is stripped from the fruit in large
quantities for bitters and marmalade, and
the juice is used to make acids. It is es-
timated that 100000 pounds of orange
peel was imported into New York last
week.
When the proposition was preached to
locate the southern Illinois penitentiary
at Chester it was asserted that that To-
cality was one Of the most unhealthy
spots in the state, and that it was little
less than booming man to death to

institution shows that the charges then
made were not wide of the mark. The
death rate for the last two years at

History of a Washington Lot.

Pittsburgh Dispatch: Henry, Clay
once owned the lot opposite the White
house, in Washington, and Commodore
John Rogers wanted it, but the old wing
persistently refused to dispose of it.
On his return from the Mediterranean
the commodore brought in one of Ills
vessels fine Andalusian jackass which
Clay wanted for his Kentucky stock
farm. All his offers were rejected until
one day the commodore said: "You
can have him for your lot opposite the
white house." "Done," was Clay's re-
ply, and the animal was shipped off to
Kentucky. The commodore now built
the historic house which Secretary Sew
ard occupied during the war. Here
Payne endeavored to assassinate him on
the night when Lincoln was shot. The
lot is now valued at $4,000.

day and started out for q pleasant little
excursion. Feeling the influence 81 tho
spring, however, his imagi alton soon
took the bit in it's mouth and bolted and
the reporter found himself struggling
helplessly with the American College at
Rome and a private yacht; with q lot Of
lords and ladies' in England, and ely.
sian cave belonging to jay Gould in st.
Louis; with an execution in Alexandria,
and Catholic priest in New York. He
was secured by heroic efforts at the end
oftwo and three.quarter columns, and
is reported to be doing as we'll as could
be expected.
The result Of his adventure was story
in brief as follows: James Chester. son
ofSir Archibald, and a ''dude" of the
first water. Lady Alicia De We're, sister
to Aubrey De We're, the poet,
people engaged, Of course. James
goes off for a years cruiselin his yacht,
after being kissed by the Lady Alicia
and Dante Gabriel Rossetti in the Liv-
erpool Docks. Incidentally he attends
q wholesale execution in Alexandria at
the invitation of his friend the Khe6ive,
and buys off one of the criminals for
5000. An English man-of-war comes
in, and the captain gives James copy of
the Times, containing the.somewhat ex-
traordinary announcement that "His
Grace the most Reverend Archbishop of
York" had married in St. Paul's Cathe-
dral "the Right Honorable William Law
renee Hyde, K. G. B., second son of the
Earl Of Clarendon, and Lady Alicia De
Vere."
James tainted, and on recovering
went to Rome, after which, having called
on Cardinal Antonelli (who, the reader
will be surprised to learn, lived in "the
Palazza Borghesi'), he entered the
American College. In three months he
was graduated and was made professor
of theology. After three years he came
to this city and was assigned to St.
st. Among his other duties he was
chaplain to ''the convent of the Visitation
in Forty-second-st." and the Hospital OF
the Alexian Brothers in Second ave.
James (now Father Chester) is called to
the Convent of the Visitation to see a
dying nun, Sister Mary Dolores. "James
Chester!" shrieks the nun. '.Alicia De
Verep yells the priest. Lady Alicia dies
and James, as usual, faints away. It is
all mistake. 1t was Lady Alicia's first

Northern Pacific Bonds Sold.

The New York Commercial Bulletin
of Monday says: The statement comes
from Messrs. Drexel, Morgan & Co., that
the syndicate that contracted in Deem
Der, 1880, for $40, 100000 Northern Paci-
&c 6 per cent. bonds, have within the past
few days sold the remaining $4,000, 900,
thereby bringing to q successful issue
the largest railway bond negotiation as
yet consummated in this country. This
secures the funds necessary to complete
the trans continental line in September
next.
The price obtained for the 100000
Northern Pacific general mortgage bonds,
sold to the banker syndicate, is said to
be 95 per cent. A large block of them

London Times on the Irish Con-
Venti0n.

The Times in an editorial says: The
Irish convention at Philadelphia began
with a clap-trap of folly and malignity,
and closed after the same fashion. The
whole scene would be painful, were it
not supremely ridiculous. The only
practical suggestion made by the conven
ton for injuring Great Britain is the adj
vice to the people Of Ireland to buy
nothing from England unless obliged to.
It is confession of Importance when
Irish malace is driven to such paltry
expedient, which, if tried would only
injure its adopters. The lesson for
Great Britain is to ignore the Irishmen,
and abandon all hope of bringing them
to better frame of mind by the contin-
uance of unmerited favors. They have
already convinced the rest of the world
that they are unfit to have national in
dependence, and they must be made to
feel the strong hand Of the law.

Observation-Disclosures.

Mr.. Charles Reade wrote one or two
letters some time ago to morning
paper condemning the practice of
nurses and mothers who discourage
their children from using the left hand.
and thus render it comparatively un-
serviceable. Nature, he maintained,
has left extremities of the body; and
but for the existence of a foolish preju-
dice in favor Of the right hand, both
limbs might be rendered eq ually useful
DR.. Gaetan Delaunay has just commune
Gated an interesting paper to the French
Anthropological Society, in which he
seeks to establish that right-handedness
is not an acquired habit, but is natural
attribute characteristic of the superior
races. Savage tribes, he states, and
communities in IN inferior state of
civilization show mucil larger proper
ton of left-handedness than high
ly civilized people do. The Annamites
for instance. are noted as a..left-handed,
people; and negroes, according to Hart
ing, are equally developed on both sides
Of the body, the right and left extremi-
ties possessing exactly the same power
and weight. Idiots and epilleptics again,
offer a very large percentage of left
handed individuals; and there are more
lett.handed women than mon. Infants,
DR.. Delaunay says, are left-handed at
first (Mr. Reade adduced this act in sup
port of his theory; as they grow older
they become both-handed, and eyentu-
ally right-handed. In old age, however,
there is q marked tendency to both
handedness again. His general conclu-
sion is that in the evolution Of the spe-
eies there has been steady tendency to
the developement of the right side of
the body at the expense Of the other,
and that the examples of leit-handed-
ness still to be met with in the Superior
races are mere "survivals." -St. James
Gazette.

The outlook for winter wheat is little
better as the season advances but the
yield will be far short of the crop of last
year. The Ohio commissioner of Agri-
culture says that State is apparently
worse off than any other State-"We are
badly hurt, and there is no use in deny
ing it. 1t is the first failure since 1875
and 1876. before we had began to raise
100000 bushels and over. You can
discredit any talk you may hear of over
25 100000 bushels for Ohio this year."

Meteorolegists recognize three areas
productive of cyclones: The largest,
lying west of the Mississippi, embraces
Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska.
The next in extent perhaps is that o
Georgia, and the third New York.
Each ofthese areas is capable, during
the recovery of the atmospheric equili-
brium," of generatinga gyratory move
ment of the air which speedily develops
into cyclone of wide extent.

the Secretary of the Treasury an opin-
ion that, under the provisions of the act
of March 3rd last, "no tax can be col
lected on the capital and deposits of
National banks since the first day of
last January, and no tax on the capital

that duties are not assessable and col

A NeixhbOrn Fight.

Mrs Catharine Conner, and Mrs. X att
Feeney are near neighbOrs on Front
street, between Monroe and Adams, and
there has been a growing difficulty be-
tween them for some time. Matters
eliminated yesterday morning, when
Catherine took clothes prop and cares
sed Mrs. Feeney. That lady FASTENED
70 the Mayor, and had u warrant issued
for Mrs. Conner arrest, and as soon as
she found this out she took base ball
club and went on the war path for Mrs.
Feen-y. She, however, found her
match this time, as she had only struck
one blow, when Mrs. Feeney thinking
that forebearance had ceased to be IA
virtue, " went for her." and thrashed
her until the neighbors pulled her off.
The matter went before the Mayor
last evening, and the evidence showed
that there was considerable billingsgate
used, and a trihe of whisky and beer at
the bottom of the trouble. After lear
ing the evidence the Mayor sentenced
Mrs. Conner to pay a fine Of
s. and costs, and as she was not able to
comply, officer Peterson showed her
to the ladies parlor on the second floor,
and locked the door to prevent her be-
ing disturbed,

The Baltimore Sun of yesterday says
The work on the Philadelphia Branch
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, for
which lettings are to be made next
month, is to be commenced mile and
a half east Of Bayvew and to extend -
miles, which will bring the line within
~ miles Of the Susquehanna. That
~ miles is easy work, and it was not
thought necessary to let it at this time.
The Susquehanna, it is understood, will
he crossed at Watson's Island by truss
bridge, 80 to 100 feet high, at what is
known as the upper crossing. On the
Delaware Division the grading and ma
sonry work to be let will commence
several miles from the Susquehanna
and extend 33 miles to the Pennsylva-
mia State line, beyond Wilmington.
Proposals for work on the Susquehanna
bridge will be asked as soon as the speci-
tication and other details are arranged.
