following in decreasing series, the last men;
toned being credited with seventeen ont OF
the siy hundred observed in the last eighty
seven years. Summers the season, and June
the month of greatest frequency, though no
month of the year is exempt. The great ma
jority of cyclones occur i'll the afternoon, and
move from southwest to northeast. The cy--
clone, as its name implies, is a whlrlwlnd
having two motions, moving forward as well
as whirling about an axis. The velocity OF
progression is moderate, varying from twelve
to sixty miles an hour, but the velocity of the
wind within the cloud vortex is variously es-
timated at from seventy to eight hundred
miles an hour, the average being three hun
bred and nnety-two miles. 1t is an interest
ing fact that the rotary movement is invarla-
bly, from right to left, or in direction oppo-
site to that of the hands of a watch. Thunder
and lightning commonly attend the develop
ment and progress of cyclones. 1t must not
be supposed that the Northwestern States en-
Joy monopoly in the production of cyclones
of a destructive character. New DIRK ana
Georgia, it will be observed, stand high IN
the list of States credited with storms, the
former having So on record to the 33 accorded
to Georgia. Meteorologists recognize, indeed,
three areas productive of cyclones: The
largest, lying west of the Mississippi, EMBRACES
Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. Inc
next in extent perhaps is that OF Georgia, ana
the third New York. Each Of these areas Is
capable, ''during the recovery OF the atmos-
pheric equilibrium" of generating gyratory
movement of the air which speedily develops
into a cyclone of wide extent.

The Great Southern Cyclone.

Baltimore San 1prH 70.
The latest estimates of the amount of dam
age done by the great cyclone of Sunday last
show that it was much more destructive than
at first supposed, swelling the total of casual
ties to 30O besides houses and other prop
erty destroyed amounting to several mil
lions in value The area of its ravages
is as remarkable as its violence. Des Moines.
Iowa, Morehead City, n. c., Americas and
Savannah Ga, Chattanooga, Tenn, Beaure-
gard, Mississippi, and many points outside of
the limits of the vast tract of territory which
line drawn through the places named would
inclose, besides hundreds of towns within
those limits, felt the force Of the great me-
neurological commotien of the 22d of April.
It is Unprecedented in the weather annals of
this country. A report on ''the character of
six hundred tornadoes," prepared about a
year ago for the weather bureau by Sergeant
j. p. Finley, of the signal corps, gives IN de-
tail the history of all the cyclones that have
occurred in the United States since 1875. From
this publication it appears that the most de-
structive tornado of which we have any reEa-
BILE record is that which on July 20, 1879, killed
one hundred and thirty four persons and de-
stroyed $500, 900 worth of property near Erie,
Pa Second to this in destructiveness was the
one which on April Is, 1880, swept over Wis
consin. Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois,
Georgia, Indiana and South Carolina, killing
at Marshfeld, Mo-, as many as sixty-five per-
sons, wounding over two hundred, and demol-
ishing two hundred buildings. On April 16.
1879. marlborough, S. c., suffered from a
cyclone which killed sixteen persons and de-
molshed fifty buildings. Louisville, Ky,
on 9th of August, 1854, was struck by a
whirling wind storm which killed twenty-five
persons, wounded sixty seven, and occasoned
great destruction of property. The number
of storms, indeed, which have destroyed from
six to twelve lives is surprisingly large. 1t
will be recalled that at 3.45 on the evening OF
October 6, 1875, cyclone attended by a fun
nel-shaped cloud blazed path extending
ENTHUSIASTICALLY twenty miles in length
through Hartford county, in this State, but
happily without occasioning any loss of life.
This storm was accompanied by loud, roar
ing noise, and in crossing the Chesapeake
formed water-spout. Kansas, with sixty
two storms, heads the list of States in the
relative frequency of its cyclones; Illinois,
Missouri, New York, Georgia, Iowa, Ohio,
Indiana, Minnesota, North Carolina, Penn
sylvania, Texas, Tennessee and South Carolina

Look out for Paris Green Potatoes

DR.. j. lack Taylor, of Oxford. Nd, pub
fishes in the Easton Star the following: The
time has arrived to warn the whole people
against buying Irish round potatoes that
are green in color, either for planting or eat
ing purposes. Examine your potatoes, and
if you find dark or green spots, thrust your
finger nail into it and remove part of the
skin or peel and you will find the potato is
green. This is caused by the use of Paris
Green and other preparations of arsenic upon
the vines to kill the potato bug. Writes a
correspondent to the Boston WdtchmdH:
1.-The great bulk of green potatoes are evil
IDENTITY poisonous and not fit to be eaten by
man or beast" And further, "a man might
as well say that external applications cannot
affect the internal organs of the body as to
say Paris Green applied to vines cannot and
will not affect the roots. '!Of course" said
he, "a certain percentage of the article is APP
propriated by atmospheric changes; but it
must not be forgotten that the earth is great
absorbent, and from repeated applications,
scores of times during the growing season,
enough would be taken into the soil to pro-
duce the banetul effects described" How
shall we get rid Of these poisonous potatoes?
Don't buy them, either as food or seed. How
shall we prevent the using of Paris Green and
other arsencal compounds upon potato vines?
Legisate against it. What shall we use as a
substitute for Paris Green and other deadly
preparations to kill the potato bug? | think
the following is sovereign remedy, besides
it is a good fertilizer to both the plant and
the SOIL Unsaked lime, l peck; water, 10
gallons; mix and stir until slaked; then add
10 pounds sulphur; set this on the fire andlet
itboi an hour or SO, then remove from the fire.
This is called Liquid Sulphide of Lime, which
will kill rose bugs, practitioners and other
parasites. Next take 10 pounds snuff dust
refuse found at the factories), or 10 pounds
tobacco refuse (snuff dust preferred) and
pour 10 gallons boiling water. upon it, and let
it stand half day. Then mix the sulphur
lime mixture with the snuff dust mixture to-
gether, set on the fire and let it come to a
boil, stirring all the time; set aside to cool.
Then after stirring the mixture, sprinkle as
much as is necessary and as often as neces-
sary on the vines containing the potato bugs,
and the result will be gratifying indeed. Per-
sons with small patches of potatoes need only
make portion of this mixture at time. |

The Next Democratic Candidate.

From tile Netr York Sun:
At the present state of the discussion DIS to
who shall be the next Democratic candidate
for the Presidency, the name of Samuel j..
Tilden has risen into greater prominence than
any other. The representatives of several
newspapers have lately visited Mr.. Tilden at
his home at Greystonc, and their report upon
the condition of the retired statesman phys
ical vigor is such that he is once more men
toned as candidate for 1884, and the posi-
bility of his leading the Democrats to victory
is again discussed by the press, both Repub-
lican and Democratic.
The sentiment among the Republicans, as
expressed through the journals of that party
and through several of their political leaders,
is that if Mr. Tilden should emerge from his
retirement and appear again at the head of
the Democratic ranks, the idea of their elect
ing their ticket in 1884 would practically dis
appear. If the Democrats should offer to put
in office man of such vast experience and of
such known wisdom as Mr.. Tilden, the great
majorities that swept away the Republicans
last fall would be held by the Democrats in
the approaching campaign, and the long career
of Republican corruption and extravaganza
would be finally brought to Il close.
On the other hand, what an end to all petty
disagreements and useless chickering's would
L
crats 70 have once more at their head II
leader who knows and honors the principles
of Democracy, of a wisdom and knowledge Of
public affairs far superior to men of his time,
and of an intellectual power that could en-
graft the fruits of his political stndes upon
the perverted system of our Government and
make it such a Democracy as was outlined by
Thomas Jefferson! Theorists of every kind
in the Democratic party, protectloniss free
traders, men who believe i'll hard money or
in soft money. would all follow Mr.. Tilden' $
guidance, because there would be no doubt of
his ability to deal with the mighty task of re-
forming the Government, and because of their
confidence in the wisdom of his Judgment
when applied to all questions of national
interest
And yet how does this candidate, who would
fill the Democ ats with enthusiasm and the
Republicans with anxiety, correspond with
the sort suggested by various members OF the
Democratic party? If Mr.. Tilden is not to
lead his party in the approaching contest,
what must be the principles of the standard
bearer who shall be chosen? Shall he appear
as representative mainly of the pure and
equitable doctrine of free trade, a theory
which the immense Indebtedness of this coun-
try must, for many years to come, render i'm
practicable? Or shall he be a man capable
of graphing with the vital needs of the coun-
try and ready to head the enormous army of
voters who drove out the majority of the last
Congress because of their riotous eXtrava-
gance and Indifference to the necessity of re-
ducng the burdens of our taxes?
This is a question for genuine Democrats
to think over
