a Grand storm Scene,

Jesse Barrltt, County Superintendent Of
Schools, IN Missouri, recently, while going
from Hillsboro to Butler, q village four
miles northwest. of Hlllsboro, Witnessed
one of the most magnificent sights he
ever saw and ono which, perhaps, few
men have ever had the opportunity of
seeing. Arriving at the top Of Cross
Hill, high eminence about two miles
west of Hillsboro, he says the air sud.
denly became entirely calm. producing
an oppressive, stlfling sensation, which
was followed by peculiar, sickening
smell. lie then saw five distinct cyclones
IN the west and southwest, which he
describes as huge balls OF cloud travel
ing in northcasterly direction at a
terrific rate of speed. All were dis
tinctly outlined and appeared at times to
come to the ground and bound into the
air to great height. They were in a
constant state Of agitation and as they
rose from the earth they became illuml-
mated; while near tho earth they ap.
pcarcd to be of grcenish color. They
were accompanied by dcafcning roar.
One of them passed Immediately over
him, but, fortunately, did not reach low
enough to do any damage. lie asserts
that he saw nothing of the funrel shape SO
often described, but that they appeared
most o. The time perfectly round. They
were number Of miles apart apparently,
hut all going in the same direction.
He says that while the display was
grand beyond description, he never wants
TO witness such sight again; but they
were evidently stragglers belonging to
the army of cyclones that passed over
our State an hour or TWO before, and
fortunately bad no time to unsheath
their devastating '.funnc" and strike tho
earth, Only those that appeared at a
great distance seemed to come to tho
ground. They passed ont of sight In
less than three minutes and were fol.
lowed by heavy wind and torrents Of
rain.

where you have been all this time? 1
made bold to inquire your whereabouts,
put your aunt gave Inc very unsatisfac-
tory answers.
"You did steal away in dreadfully
mysterious manner.
"From standing at my elbow you fed
into the vast unknown"
l could hardly speak for Joy; for the
light III Kenneth's eyes was clearly that
of love.
no longer accused myself of vanity
when l confessed with delight that he
really did think of me.
Well, it is the old, old story.
The next day I babe adieu to the
dreary farm, and with my promised
husband started for the city, on reaching
which we went to his sisters where l
stayed till we were quietly married.
Then we took rail to my aunt's, and
Kenneth introduced ME as "Ntrs.
Shields" to aunt and cousins.
They were astonished and ashamed,
and | confess that the sudden transfor-
nation from plain Mona Norton to Mrs.
Kenneth Shields quite stortled me:
They welcomed us in a tolerably hos
pitable manner; and for forms sake we
stayed to dinner; still u latent spark of
resentment fingered underneath the
show Of goodwill.
"Mona, DEAR" said my husband when
we were alone, "wero you resigned to
your fate, and would you have made no
effort to let me know your place of resi-
dence? You did not intend to forget
me?"
"Indeed 1 did not; and if you had not
come to rescue me, don't think could
have gone on living. But am happy
now 50 let us forget the past"

Lamps In Yokohama.

As the hour approaches for the lighting
of lamps IN the evening at Yokohama, the
sound of the patrol ls heard, and all night
long tho streets are perambulated by these
warning guardians, who beat two hand
slicks or clappers together with the regu-
larity of clockwork, giving forth Il sharp,
ringing sound that there is no mlstaking,
and they also have a regular note of warn
Ing, which they cry out at regular intervals
OF time, 80 that the necessity of precaution
ls present to the mind Of all the dwclIers in
tho city, throughout the hours of darkness,
whether they will or no. The lncendary

Tho Derby Course,

A young American who has travelled.
says in correspondence about the Derby
track at EPSON, that the course is en-
tlrely different from anything we have
in America. There nre not fifty yards
OF level ground anywhere. [ should
say that run of the whole circuit must
be about two miles long. On this side
the ground slopes rapidly down into II
deep valley, 80 that the horses run on
ground that slants up toward the out.
side rail. From tho bottom of the
valley the way up on the other side is
very steep, where the track runs along
the crest of ridge beyond, it must be
four or five hundred feet higher than
where we sit. Up towards the be-
ginning of the home stretch is the place
which they call Tottenham corner, and
all England tells you what terrible place
1T is for horse to come around. But
that is taf1y. There are worse turns at
Jerome Park and Sheepshead Bay.
The only difficulty about Thu ono is
that it occurs where the horses are
coming down slight slope. The
Derby raoes begin part way aound the
course, rs the distance they run is
abont mile and quarter, 1 believe.
They start Ill all upward slope to the
crest Of the distant ridge, come down
around Tottenham corner, into tho
straight stretch home, and end on a
down hill part of the track The
course is turfed, not turned up like
those i'll America. Much of the sl5ztce
down in the valley, inside the track
and up on the hill beyond, ia t,kon up
with rcfreshmcnt tents. Punch md
judy shows, those machines which
send wooden horses around in Il circle,
parties OF men with blackened faces,
singing and dancing without time or
tune, jugglers, acrobats and surging
mass OF people. From the grand stand
for half mile in each direction, out
side the track, thore is the same sort of
thing, added to tremendous crash of
carriages, from which tho horses have
been taken and housed for the day. a
third OF the people present want to aell
you something that is of no earthly
use, and that you wouldn't be found
dead with, and the other two-thirds
want to steal whatever you may have
around in your clothes. They are tho
most accomplished thieves I ever
htruck, and they will steal anything
they can lay hands on, no matter
whether it is worth anything or not.
L have seen some pretty big and some
rather promiscuous crowds in America,
but this one certainly captured the
prize in all respects. There must have
been six hundred thousand to one mil
lion people there. Nobody can convey
q notion Of such crowd with more
figures. 1t was at least ten times as
largo q gathering rs L ever saw at
race before

TRI-W EEKLY EDITION
A NORTHERN MAY.

: The robe of lace that decks her rounded
form
Is donn'd too early for the spring tide
feast;
Her cheek is pale, and on her bosom warm
A wind is blowing from the chill north
east.
In futile search for downy shelter there
Her shiv'ring arms upon her breast are
croSs'd;
The airy veil above her golden hair
Is all aglow with diamonds Of frost
And from her hands wreath Of daisies
slips,
And at her feet, in blighted beauty, lies;
The smile Is frozen OH her lovely lips;
An icy terror dims her dewy eyes.
Turn back, o May! turn back and warm
thy wings
In Times old cave, ut Winters funeral
pyre,
And come not forth till Earth, thy bride
groom, springs
10 clasp thee, glowing, to his heart Of fire!

"And / am ready" she answered, and
