As Mr.. Johnson, who is figuring in the

Eli Johnson in Cincinnati from 1858 to 1864.
He was in the pork-packing business then,
and was reported TO be worth $150,000 He
married Miss Coffin, of Richmond, Ind. In
1868 he came to this city, having presumably
met with some reverses in Cincinnati,
for he was financially stranded. About
two years afterward we went into the
commission business together, forming the
firm of Johnson & Cassard. My partner was
an anomalous character and l have often
thought since that he was partially dement,

became an ardent Presbyterian, and his fer
vor as an exhorter and temperance worker
was something remarkable. The curious
thing about him was that in money matters
he seemed to have no conscience whatever.

ventured TO draw his attention to the incon-

prayer and religious enthusiasm which they
call Eli Johnson's day He has also been
employed by the Brooklyn Temperance So

Heavy storm at New York.

New York, May S.-A short and heavy
thunderstorm passed over the city this after
noon, and the streets were deluged with rain,
while signs were demolished and telegraph
wires damaged. At Paterson, N. j., great
damage was done; several mills were par
TALLY unroofed, and the unfinished spire of
St. Johns CATHEDRAL demolished. Lumber
piles were scattered, trees uprooted, the tele-
phone system demoralized, and several
people slightly injured. The clatter
of tin from an overturned peddler's
wagon caused two teams to run away, and
one horse in each was killed, being impaled
by the shafts in the collision. The driver of
one team, John Farquahar, was badly hurt.
Coal sheds were blown into the Morris canal,
impeding navigation. AT Trenton the main
tent of Forepaugh's circus was blown over
and the canvas torn into shreds, seats thrown
over, and all the aerial apparatus destroyed.
Fortunately the people at the afternoon per-
Torrance had LETT.
The hag-pole on the st. Nicholas
hotel was blown down. probably ia
tally injuring Henry Clark. A team
of horses attached to hearse, in Greenwich
street were frightened at the lightning and
ran away, smashing the hearse.
In Brooklyn several buildings in course of
erection were demolished, also many Chin
neys. Adam Aster, at work in one of the
buildings, was badly injured by falling
walls.

What kind of tariff plank are the Dem

"a moderate one, presume. We have
got to raise too much money to carry on the
government to talk about free trade, and
tariff for revenue only amounts to nothing.
| would like to see a tariff law passed that
meant anything else than a tariff for reve-
nue.. There never has been and there never
will be. So it brings US down to the consiG-
Grafton of reform in the tariff, wise DIS
erection in atfixing duties, putting on luxu-
ries all they will bear, and admitting a good
deal of raw material where it will not i'm
pair the traffic in such material at home.
II will be this ability to discriminate and
wisely impose duties that will command the
attention of our legislators, and a wise tariff
modification will meet with the appropba-
ton of the whole country. Neither protec-
ton nor free trade ought to enter into the
tariff platform OF the party, when we speak
