A few days ago Malone came to

wanted Boiling removed.
The President did not bother
about it, but left the whole matter

farmers in Kansas have construct
ed these dug-outs-simple holes
IN the ground. covered to protect
the inmates from flying timbers,
where they can run in the event
OF tOrnadoes. Under no eircum-
stances, whether in building or
cellar, ever take a position in a
northeast room, or in a northeast
corner in an east room, or against
an east wall. Remember that the
tornado invariably moves in
northeasterly direction. This sim
pie rule will save nineteen twenti-
eths of the lives now sacrificed to

you have no cellar, always take a
position against the west or south

If you are out of the house
avoid forests and groves, make
for the open field and throw your
self, face downward, toward the
east and your arms over your head
to protect it.
Such are precautions to be ta-
ken, well understood in Kansas
and Iowa, but little known in Mis-
sissippi. 1t is due to a compre-

Grant and COnklIng Speak.
Estate Ledger.l


Hon. Roscoe Conkling has at last
broken his long silence. His ut
terances are remarkable. General
Grant and himself were the princi-
pal speakers at the Nav dinner of
the Saturday Night Club, in New
York city. Grants speech was
mainly devoted to an attempt TO
boost the Mexican treaty, cooked
up by himself and Trescott in the
interest of the railroad specula-
tors. One of his strongest points
was the curious idea that the alli-
ance of Mexico would be very inn
portant to the United States in
ease of a foreign war
Mr.. Conkling naturally indorsed
Grants position on this subject,
but he eaid a great deal more on
other subjects. Speaking of the
last Chicago Convention he made
very suggestive reference to the
treachery of the Blaine delegates,
whose action defeated Grant. lie
said he believes MS firmly as he be-
lieves anything that the results Of
that convention have held this
country back ten years.
Conkling said the Democrats
were about to take control of the
country. Two years ago tho Re
publicans came out of stoutly
fought battle victorious from sea
to sea, north of the Mason and
Dixon line. II fought the greatest
political battle ever fought; it was
a battle heavily weighted, but the
Republicans rallied under the old
leaders and gloriously won. That
was but two years ago, and now
the speaker could think of but
three of the Northern States in
which the Republicans were victo'
rious.
Mr.. Conkling sneered at the out
cry against leaders and bosses
contending 1t was merely a raid
upon superiority, aud he suggested
that there were n thousand greater
questions before the Congrcssmel
than the appointment of clorkshipI
In the departments.

ling not only assumed that thu
Democrats are going to take con
troll of the government, but did 81

The New Principle in steamships,
TO CROSS THE ATLANTIC IN THREE
DAYS.

Sometime ago we published an
account of am invention by Mr..
Gartner, of Dallas, Texas, of an
Improvement which would greatly
increase the speed Of steamships,
making II possible, If the inven.
tion was success, for ships sup
piled with this Improvement to 90
across the Atlantic in three days.
BY the st. Louis Globc.Democrat
of May Sth we learn that Mr.. AL.
exander Hexter, Of Dallas, who is
a partner of Mr.. Gartner, has been
exhibiting in st. Louis model OF
a ship supplied with the peculiar
feature patented. The theory is
simple, aud as demonstrated by
the practical test Of the model,
was pronounced feasible. MT.

and model to a critical test In the

What Is the Use OF Snakesl

9. G. Hopey, in his very inter
csting work on "Snakes," writes
Of their usefulness as follows:
"Persons who dislike snakes
continually ask, what is the use
of themi' That they are not with.
out a use will, ] hope, appear in
the course of this work, were IL
necessary to preach that all things
have their use. But in one habit
that offended Lord Bacon, namely,
of 'going on their belly hes one
of their greatest uses, because
that, together with their internal
formation and external covering,
enables them to penetrate where
no larger carnivorous animal could
venture, into dark and noisome
morasses, bog jungles, swamps,
amid the tangled vegetation of the
tropics, whore swarms ofthe lesser
reptiles, on which 80 many Of them
feed, would otherwise outbalarce
the harmony of nature, die, and
produce pestilence. AHH"ii
Wondrously and exquisitely con.
structed for their habitat, they are
able to exist where the higher ami.
mails could not and while they
help to clear those inaccessible
places of the lesser vermin, they
themselves supply food for a num-
Der of the smaller mammalia,
which, with many carnivOrous
birds. devour vast numbers of
young snakes. The hedgehog, wea-
sci, ichneumon, rat, peccary, badg-
er, hog, goat, and an immense num-
her of birds, keep snakes within
due limits, while the latter perform
their part among the grain devon
ring and herbiyorOus lesser crea.
lures. Thus beautifully is the
balance of nature maintained"

The influence OF Fiction.

For the Greenvllle Times.
The influence of fiction upon
thought and style has very greatly
affected the style, mode of narra-
tion, and assisted in the delinea-
tion of great historical characters.
Great writer's, when weary and
oppressed by the severe and cx-
acting labors of composition, turn
to this agreeable field of literature
for recreation. II is related of
the distinguished DR.. Warbuton,
when he was engaged upon his
lifelong work, "The Divine Lega.
ton of Man." that when oppressed
and exhausted with study and
work, he would retire for several
days and read works of fiction,
plays, dramas, and he would al
ways become refreshed, and re-
sumo his work with renewed ar
dor. The celebrated historian,
Prescott, devoted several hours
each day in the midst of his great
labors to reading works of fiction.
especially those Of Scott, Dumas,
Dickens and Sue. When we are
delighted in reading his brilliant,
clear pages, his graphic descrip.
ton, we can easily detect the in
fluence exertel over his style of
thought by the reading the works
of those accomplished artists. The
historian Motley, before engaging
upon the preparation of his histor-
ical works, composed two novels,
as a practice to form a clear style,
and to delineate character. 1t is
well known fact that Mac Auley
was an avaricious reader of all
kinds of fiction, and we can easily
see its influence in the charm that
delights all readers in the essays
and in history. This same influ.
ence is exerted upon orators and
statesmen, and their style and
mode of thought much controlled
by it. The peerless Prentiss, of
this State, whose whole life was a
romance, had his mind deeply
stepped in old romance, and this
gave strength, beauty, brilliancy
and triumph to the spoken word.
This same controlling influence
added to the efficiency and gran
deur of the written and spoken
words of the younger Pitt, Fox
and Canning. Let any one COM
pare the writings of Fielding with
DIR. johnson and see the difference
in the style and thought of the
reader and writer of fiction, and
one who had no patience with it.
Whenever you find a writer in our
language distinguished for clear,
simple, sparkling, brilliant, forci-
BILE, readable style, and for dis
eliminating, happy deIincation OF
character, and those peculiar slight
shades of difference in manners,
conduct aud general department
among mankind and nations, you
may conclude thai the author is a
reader of fiction and this has i'm
pressed it's influence upon his
mind. The two greatest schools
of thought in our time are the
reading of the best works of fic-
tion and the English Bible. These
two combined form the highest
type of style and thought.

Dublin, May l4.-Joe Brady was
hanged Mt s O'clock this morning.
A vast eoneourse of people gath

hoisted over the prison at three
minutes past $. Almost immedi,
ately after the flag was raised a
hearse and coach with mourners

The Great ,IIssissIppI Tornado.


New York Herald, April q.
Apart from the great fatality
and destruetiveness of Sundays
tornado in Mississippi the phenom-
enonIs of special interest as atype
of the Mississippi Valley whirl-
winds. The tornado struck the
town of Beauregard at four o'clock
in the afternoon, which is the mean
hour at which tempests are expe-
rieneed. Extended observation in
dicates that these storms generally
form in or near the southwestern
quadrant of deep barometric de-
preston, where the warm, moist
Gulf currents are brought in con-
tact with relatively cold, dry eur
rents from the northwest. In this
respect the formation of the Beau
regard tornado was normal, the
deep depression which on Satur-
day was central in Colorado having
moved on Sunday over the South
ern States. The usual local pre-.
monitions-high southerly winds,
heavy thunder and the deep rum
bling sounds-0ccurred for some
minutes before the tornado wind
proper struck the town. In still
more important particular this tor
nado conformed to the apparent
rule, that in the opening of the
season the grand tornadoes de-
scehd on the Gulf States and then
extend their geographical range
nOrthward with the suns move.
ment in declination.
These facts are of tho utmost
Importance as exhibiting the man
ner in which tornadoes are gener
ated and borne along and as show
ing that they may be predicted a
few hours at least by local obser'
vers. The "terrific gale from the
northwest which struck West
Point, Miss, at 20 minutes past l.
p. m. on Sunday was accompanied
by torrents of rain and 1.-THE larg
est hail ever soenn there. This
cold gale was the signal that the
only factor requisite for creating
tornadoes (the warm current from
the Gulf having been previously
set up) was supplied. The West
Point gale, which must also have
been felt at places lying north and
west of that town, took place ovel
three and a half hours before tn,
Beauregard tornado did its mos
fatal work. II is obvious, there
fore, that, with the barometric ccn
ditions known TO be then existin:
in the South, telegraphic warningl
might have been sent by local oh
servers at any points where th'
northwest gale was felt in time t
put exposed towns on their guar,
against the desoluting meteor. II
such cases, as we recently pointc,
out, local weather kilograms ma,
often be the means Of forewarnin,

approach of a tornado q single hal

those which have already Stat

in arranging a system of tornado
