A TERRIBLE hail storm, which lasted
thirty minutes, is reported to have visited
the town of Essex, Iowa, the other night,
breaking nearly every pane Of glass in the
village and leaving banks of hail from
four to five feet deep on the windward side
of the houses. Farmers Said that the corn
all through that region was entirely de-
stroyed and wheat was so badly tangled
that it would be difficult to harvest it.

The Era of "Bossism - Ended,

Dezendorf has answered Secretary
Chambers sarcasm with an array of
crushing facts about the use of y the
Norfolk navy-yard in doing the work of
Boss Malone, which will certainly
impair the future efficiency Of that part
of the Virginian machines even if y, the
abuses charged are not wholly stopped.
Let the result be what itnaay, however,
the era of 'sbossism''' in, Virginia is
nearly at an end, and with it sendSsthe
prospect of that development OF politics
springing up and thriving i'm the Sddth,
just at the moment it is dying out if its
old strongholds in the Republic can States
of the North. Malone thought he had
accomplished the transplanting. and
Chalmers fancied it was a job within
the scope of his powers also They
knew there was one political element in
the South more favorable to boss rule
than anything tolbe found in, the North,
the negro being by nature and habit
eminently adapted for the political peon-
age this sort of one-man domination
enforces.5 They had not brought into
politics such wisdom from their time of
slavery as would teach them to rebel
against voluntary vassalage to a self
constituted master, while their whole
political experince so far has been gath
cred under ''boss" rule,i their status
since enfranchisement having Been that
of mere voting cattle, except in rare
cases during the reconstruction period.
The certain subserviency of the negro
voters is not sufficient, however, to as
sure Malone, Chalmers and their imi-
tators in other Southern States, the sue
cess Which Conklihg. logan, Cameron
and other Northern Republican leaders
enjoyed for soklHRhy steSls! Ii IS safe
to say that the day has gone by when
any SouthelnsStata car be dominated
by the solid grosvote,, and the necent
elections in Virginia show that these
ambitious renegades can not, bring a
sufficient body of Write voters under
their feet to establish their despotfc per-

it is hot evehs possible 3that there are

The Horse who Clears the Track

ltrom the New York Tribunc.)
A remarkable exhibition may be seen
daily at various points on several of the
Brooklyn car routes. 1t is never wit
messed for the first time without clicitipg
exclamations ofsurplise, and dexplanatiops
from the car conductors that the animal
has been doing the same thing regularly
for years. He is small gray horse.
nearly white in fact-about III years old
and is driven to butchers wagon
Many of the car routes in Brooklyn run
double tracks through streets too mar
row to admit the passage of the cars
when au ordinary wagon is drawn up 6:
the sidewalk; and it happens that this
butchers delivery route is through
several of these narrow thoroughfares
near the ferries. When standing in n
broad street this horse pays no atten-
ton to passing cars; but when in the
narrow ones he hears car approaching
he waits until it is within few feet Of
him, then deliberately looks around,
bows or mods his head twice, turns in a
wide circle, drawing his wagon after
him, and after allowing the car to pass
returns to the place to await his masters
coming. He never fails to do this in the
narrow streets, and never does it in tn ,se
broad enough to admit of the passage of
the car. That he moves on when he
hears the car approach is perhaps not so
remarkable as that he makes the circle
Of so great radius as not to upset the
wagon he draws.

Bathino Costumes.
from N. Y. Letter In Utica Observer,

from N. Y. Letter In Utica Observer,
When it comes down to cast.iron pro-
priety of costume, captious person
might find fault with the bathing suits
worn by many of The girls when they get
out sixty miles or go from their city
homes to thu south side OF Long Island.
L have this week seen Fifth Avenue
bellies summing themselves on Long
Island sands in suits that left less to be
inferred than the bathing costumes of the
persons at Coney Island, Rockaway and
Long Branch who are improper by occu-
patton. But to my way of thinking it is
not 80 much the suit as it is the way of
wearing it. Barelegged Innocence is
better than show of prudisbness made
by a mistress of brazonry. The daugh-
ters of rich New Workers go out to the
south shore to swim and dive aud float,
to be Drowned by the sun and the salty
wind, to get up appesites and acquire
good firm flesh, to give way to their own
sweet wills; and all this is done limo.
Gently and with propriety. Even the
old maids-governesses and that sort of
thing-who happen to be around, under
stand this; and though they themselves
go down to the water in swaddling
clothes OF heavy and sombre brown, they
seem to find pleasure in seeing the girls
enjoy themselves. And what about the
men we find there? Heads of families,
who take miss Of eighteen on eacharm
aud go romping down to the surf and
pitch them i'll ina fatherly sort OF way.
Young fellows in their twenties, who get
up at three O'Clock in the morning and
go off cunning after snipe, aud OCCASION
ally get around to the beach i'll time to
take a plunge with the Others, and who
care more for double -barrelled shotguns
than for girls in blue ilannel. Still
younger boys who are expert swimmers,

sins and even their auuts admire them

A Little Girl Sent by Express.

at the Buffalo, New York and Phil.
adelphia station, yesterday, on the ar
rival of the 2:55 train, there stepped
down pert little Miss OF possibly four
winters and as many summers. Upon
her hat was pinned label, with the
words "Titusville, Crawford County.
Penn.," and similar one decorated her
waist. These labels tol1 more of her
than she herself could tell, for she only
knew that she was Maggie, the daughter
of John Brennan. 1t seems that she
came from Smethport, starting yesterday
morning, and though without ticket or
money, had come through direct and
without missing a connection. Inquiry
further developed the fact that several
days ago Brennan, who resides at Sci
kirk, or Grand Valley, inquired at the
express Office for n girl who was to come
through by express. 1t was this knowl-
edge that enabled McVella, of the ex-
press company, to tell where the preco-
cious child belonged. James Pettigrew
took her in charge, and she will be sent
out to her father to-day.

Three or four years ago a farmer liv-

about forty bushels of corn to sell, but
who was not satisfied with ruling prices,
determined to hold on. He nailed up
his corn crib and sat down with deter.
mination to let the country go to ruin
unless buyers came to his figures. To
his great chagrin and disappointment
everything went ON as usual for several
months, when one day man from Obi

What's corn worth ?" asked the
farmer. s

brisk. Some of the lots contained
as many as one hundred stamps, and
the prices were only considered fair. In

Speaking of postage stamps, buyer
said he had been for years a school
master, and could always tell boy
when geography came up who indulged
in the collection of stamps. Boys who
did SO knew more about foreign coun-
tries, and the very possession of the
stamps, as rule, induced them to
study up the history of the places from
which they were issued. The sale net
