FEARFUL .FRESHETS.

LONDON, ONT July 11.-Thirty two per.
sons lost their lives by freshet on the Thames
to-day. tornado, accompanied by heavy
rains, broke over the western part of the city
shortly before daylight. The river was soon
beyond its banks. The food swept over the
whole of the lowIands. In less than an hour
the entire western suburbs were under
water. Large buildings and mills were car
ried away as though they were straw. The
POI ulation of the suburbs, some 1000 in
| number, were driven from their homes in
their night-clothes The villagers were sleep
ing when the storm burst upon them, and
woke to find their dwellings floating away in
| the stream. Some of the houses were over
turned by the floods and the occupants
drowned in their beds One house caught
| fire while going down stream and lit up the
whole. awful scene, showing some running
wildly about on the roofs of their float inc
| houses and others at the windows screaming
to be rescued. One house was ~impeded in
its course by trees on the bank of the stream.
Parties went to the rescue of the occupants,
but before they reached the building it was
overturned and the inmates were lost The
scene is described by eye-witnesses as dire
full in the extreme. Mothers were wailing
for lost children and children crying for
mothers. Many of those in the floating
houses would have been comparatively Sc
cure had they remained indoors. Many of
them in their terror rushed wildly out into
the water, and were swept away in the food
All the bridges were swept away, and COM
munication with the west side is cut off
Railways were also swept away and traffic
stopped The waters began to fall about
noon, and the waste caused by the food be-
came appar mt. Business in the city was
suspended all day, and parties 10 rescue

assistance to The rescued were formed. Their
efforts were attended with sadness AS they
bring bodies to the dead house, sorrowing
friends and relatives had up TO the last
hoped that their mourned ones would have
been found in buildings, wa iting for assist
ance to come. The damage is placed at &c.,
100000, though it is not poss IDLE to obtain
the exact amount as yet. Tonight 800 was
subscribed for the relief of the sufferers. As
London West is still under water it is i'm
possible to get detailed list of the casual

HoLToE, KAs., July ] l "A tornado struck
Soldier City. town of 200 inhabitants
eighteen miles west of this city, on the Kan

o'clock, and completely demolished sixteen
buildings and injured number of others
Among the buildings blown down were two

some fifteen were injured, several seriously.
The storm passed from the north directly

REFORM IN THE HIGHER
STUDIES.

Conservativ es may reason as they
will, it will sometime turn out that the
old-time course of the higher studies is
not immaculate. Charles Francis
Adams, Jr., recently delivered an ad-
dress at Harvard College, in which he
severely criticized the too much study
of Greek and Latin. Mr.. Adams took
the ground that the study of Greek
and Latin, especially the former, was
a useless waste of time; that the ac-
quirement of these languages are of
infinitely less Importance than is GEN
orally attached to them. He fortified
his position by citing four generations
of the Adams family-John Adams,
John Quincy Adams, Charles Francis
Adams, and himself, Charles Francis
Adams, Jr. These all, after leaving
college, dropped their Greek and Latin,
and whatever of success they may
have attained as diplomatists In foreign
lands, or statesmen at home, their
Greek and Latin resources were not
drawn upon. Added to the foregoing
testimony, hundreds of cases might be
cited of men in the various professions,
and holding the highest official stations,
who, without a knowledge of Greek,
have been fully the peers of those who
have given much time to the study of
the classic languages. Charles Francis
Adams, Jr., is not the first to attack the
over-estimated Importance of these So
called higher studies; there are multi
tudes of men who rest their reputation
on their Greek and Latin attachments,
but who have shown their unfitness
for the profession of the law or the
ministry, and who lack the ability for
the business avocations of life.

THE CROPS.

There has been a remarkable change
in the harvest prospects throughout
the country from that of few weeks
ago. Dependency in many quarters
has been succeeded by feelings of buoy
ancy. In the sections of country where
the wheat harvest has been completed
the crop in most instances has much
exceeded the expectations of farmers
In various sections where corn has
been reported failure, it has taken a
fresh start and promises we'll. In this
state, which was reported month ago
as having the poorest crop outlook of
any northwestern state, the gatherers of
harvest statistics will probably revise
their reports, and give us better show
ing.

CHOLERA.

The presence OF the cholera in
Egypt, and its steady increase, very
naturally excites apprehension in
Europe, and hence the usual precau-
tions in the leading commercial cities
to guard against its introduction
Should the cholera unfortunately find
it's way into European ports, danger
would follow to the Uuited States.
1t is unnecessary to sound an alarm,
for with the modern sanitary regula-
tions which now prevail in all civilized
countries the danger of cholera reach
ing this country from over the sea is
remote. But still it may be men
toned, as a matter of history, the
cholera Of Asiatic type which visited
Kenosha with so much severity in
1850 was traceable to foreign impor.
tation. The reason for it's violence in
this particular locality was never &C
counted for; there were no unusual OF
known causes calculated to invite dis
ease.

POLYGAMOUS UTAH.

Much Importance is attached to the
election which will be held in Utah
Territory on the 9th of August next.
The law governing the election will be
the "Edmunds Law" so-called. the au-
thor of which was U. S. Senator Ed
munds, of Vermont. The law re-
Quires a registry of voters, and that
the commissioners appointed to make
the list shall allow no one who is a
pOlygamist to register as a voter The
law contemplates the exclusion of all
polygamists from voting, also from
holding any elective Office. Members
of the legislature and other officers
will be chosen at the August election.
The chief interest which attaches to
the election is whether it will result in
taking the law-making power of the
territory out of the hands of the Nor
mons. The issue is doubtful; the
Mormons have a faculty of evading
the laws of the United States.

THE COMING ARIsT0CRAcY.

Arist0cracies have existed in every
nation and under every form of gov
eminent. Our own country. which
boasts of freedom and equality, has
never been without a class who have
occupied the place of an aristocracy.
1t has not been an aristocracy of birth
and inheritance as in England, still
ancestry has had much to do with it.
The distinguished families in the older
states a century ago, transmitted to
their descendants the prestige of rank
and position; hence it is not uncommon
for persons to pride themselves on
their ancestry. So strong is this feel
ing that poverty Or other misfortune
cannot efface the pride of it. In the
last quarter of century wealth has
been the chief element in the creation
of an aristoeracy. Men and women
have bowed low to moneyed families,
and paid them greater difference than
to- those less favored by fortune.
When the rich man, with splendid
equipage, drives along the street the
crowd stand back and gaze respectfully.
When he dies multitudes press to his
funeral, listen with eager attention to
the words spoken to his memory, and
long train of apparent sympathizers
follow him to his last resting place.
When the man who moves only in the
common walks of life passes along the
thoroughfares, he is scarcely noticed
except by now and then familiar
faiend; when he dies, a few neighbors
gather to pay him the last rites Of a
decent burial.
But the power of wealth as an ele-
ment of aristocracy is diminishing /;
especially has this been true the past

TENDER last, and located lands at some
distance from human habitati0n.
Other families soon after began to
settle around them. Three months ago
the Waterburys found themselves the
center of quite population and at a
natural business point; they accord

let for ten new dwelling houses, a

of the new town remains to be told.
The best legal talent was employed to
prepare form of contracts for lots
sold, to the effect that they should be
forfeited if any intoxicating liquors
were allowed to be sold on them. The
new town has been visited by saloon
keepers proposing to keep drst-class
establishments and have endeavored
to convince the proprietors Of the lots
that the place cannot grow up without
saloon. The proprietors reply, if the
town cannot be built up without
liquor saloons, then they will plow up
the town and plant it with corn. The
proprietors further say they intend to
make Waterbury city of refuge, to
which all those who desire to be away
from the curse of rum may find place
of safety.

During the month of June probably
a larger number of Americans sailed
for Europe than in any month in pre-
vious years. A great majority of
these persons went abroad for the en-.
joyment of European travel or for
healthful IMMIGRATION. Should that
dread of nations and of peoples, the
cholera, penetrate European cities,
much of the anticipated pleasure of the
American tourists would be cut short,
and vacations abroad abbreviated. 1t
is, however, reasonable to hope no such
calamity will happen.

STILL THEY COME.

The Democrats are gradually falling
into line in the suppression of the liq-
nor traffic. The leading Democratic
paper in st. Louis says the newspapers
of Missouri are almost unanimous in
favor of the new license law of that
state, which requires saloon keepers
to pay license of $500.
The Democratic paper at Stevens
Point, in this state, gives cogent rea-
sons in favor of high license.
In this part of the state we do not
yet hear of any falling out of the
Democratic ranks; they stand firm for
cheap whiskey.
