A Lesson From the Ohio Tornado.
n. Y. Herald

The terrible tornado of Sunday
afternoon in Ohio occurred under
meteorological conditions which, if
carefully observed by Western
meteorologistS, may suggest the
means OF predicting such storms.
The barometic conditions for two days
previous in the Mississippi Valley
were marked by relatively high pres
sure waves on both sides of the valley
and long trough of low pressure be-
tween them, extending north and
south. As we have before pointed
out. VIII, his distribution Of pres,
sure occurs the great central valley,
the probability that tornadoes will be
formed is always strong. This genesis
of fatal tornadoes depending upon a
powerful movement of the humid cur
rent from the Gulf, this arrangement
of pressures in the Mississippi Valley
is at this season peculiarly danger Gus.
because the barometic trough between
the high pressure waves offers free
passage for the storm laden tropical
current. AS the continent is now
growing relatively warmer than the
ocean the air pressure over the former
is diminishing, and the rush of moist
air from the tropical seas when de-
preston is crossing the Mississippi
Valley is made easy.
On occasions when Sundays bar
omctrc conditions exist in the central
valleys it would therefore be well to
notify the districts most liable to tor
nadoes to look out for their develop
ment. 1t is generally supposed that
these tempests cannot be foreseen. 1t
may be a long time before it will be
possible to indicate the precise locali-
ties that will be ravaged; but it seems
possible even now, with an extension
of the State weather service in the
West. to forecast the time and section
in which torpadoes will occur. 1t is
worthy OF special note that the lorna
do conditions which developed the
fatal Ohio storm on Sunday had been
very conspicuously present for two
days preceding the calamitous exent.

Wives as Collateral.

a petition of the women Of Siam has
been laid at the feet of the king, pray
ing his royal serenity that he take
from their husbands the right to
pledge them IN the payment of gam
bling debts. 1t is said that the king
finds many difficulties in the way of
granting this presumptuous prayer.
In country where the husbands have
enjoyed the privilege OF utilizing their
wives as collateral In financing
troublesome liquidations. it is said
that they are strongly prepossessed in
favor of its continuance. Sometimes
an embarrassed husband may place
a wife in escrow and escape incarcera
ton. Then, again, he might deposit
her as a margin on deal in pork or
wheat, thus remaining a chance in
the lottery Of speculation, though not
possessed shilling in the other class
es of property. 1t is insinuated that
most husbands sustain the forfeiture
of their uxorial pledges of margins
with greater equanimity than that of
other property so employed, but by
many this is denounced as a SANDER
On the contrary it Is reported that,
through the opportunity to increase
their credit and commercial resources
offered by marriage, the youth of
S am usually rush into wedlock with
a recklessness not known in other
nations, where this custom has not yet
obtained footing. The hesitancy of
the king in acting upon the prayers
of his fair petitioners doubtless proves
that the opposition of his male sub
jects is general and profound.

A Hard Thinker.
The BATON

A Kentucky resident of Richmond,
who holds dear the traditions of his
state, not long since formed one of
a party who were discussing the
merits of by-gone statesmen and poll
ticians.
Yes, gentlemen. said the Ken
tuckiap, George d. Prentiss was a
great editor, and Henry Clay the
greatest orator and statesman of his
day, not excepting Daniel Webster
and John G. Calhoun"
CLAY was a hard thinker, certain
~" someone casually remarked.
Hard thinkerl Well, should say
he was Why, gentlemen, l have
heard my father say-and truthful
man he was, and a member of the
church-it was no unusual thing for
Mr.. Clay, when engaged on an i'm
portant case, to think hole clear
through two-inch pine board over
the fireplace in kis old law Officer
This, of course, was received with
yell.
You may laugh, gentlemen, if you
please; but my father used to say
further he had seen the holes, that as
Mr. Clay's practice got larger the
board became literally riddled."
After this settler" others were
ordered composed of a compound of
'old bourbon" mint, sugar. ice, and
straws in honor of a genuine Kentucky
first-class yarn, and the board" ad-
iourned.

In His Wife's Pocket.

A fire broke out in a dwelling house
the other night, and after the man
and his wife had safely reached the
street the latter said that there was
$50 in Tie pocket of her dress, which

and he plunged into the burning
building.
The flames ragged furiously, and the
man did not return. At the expira
ton of an hour the fire was extin-
guished and the lack building caved.
Firemen CROPPED their way up the
rear stairs through water and blind
ing smoke, and found the man In the
closet still fumbling al his wife's
dress looking for the money.
He was nearly suffocatea with
smoke, but had strength enough to
say that he thought he would have
found the pocket inside of two hours.
1t never occurred to him to seize the
dress and rush out with that. Some
men get so excited and nervous In

Dolly White,
Boston Globe.

Just after the stroke of noon few
days ago a Chelsea and Boston car
was going up Broadway past a large
manufacturing establishment, when
the attention of the passengers was
called TO queer little woEaan in an
old fashioned poke bonnet, who hur-
ried down the street with a tin pail in
her hand and went to the factory gate
and knocked for admittance. An old
gentleman who sat in the forward
rlght-hand corner of the car looked
up and said:
Hello! there goes Dolly again"
dolly who Z" asked a girl at his
side.
"Why, Dolly White. Crazy Dol
ly, as she is called by all who know
her"
What makes them call her crazyln
queried the girl, puckering up her
pretty little mouth until il looked like
a period under her hooked interroga-
ton point of a nose.
oh, it was long time ago, when
she and Charlie hadn't been married
but few years aud she used to come
down here every noon and bring him
his dinner. that the story commences.
They lived in house on Washington
avenue and had two little children to
to take care of and they were
just as happy as they could
be. for Charlie was making a
good living and had the promise of
bosship in the fall Well, one day
at noon she came In with his lunch,
as was her custom, and just as she got
to the gate it few open and out came
four men bearing the dead body OF
her husband, who had Just been killed
by fallen timber. Dolly tainted
away at the sight and fell into fever
that did not abate until poor Charlie
had been buried and another man
hired to take his place in the factory
As soon as she got able to go out she
went to work and secured up the old

Sudden Rise in Beef.
Wall Street News


When the federal general Wilson,
made his raid into Alabama, his for,
aging parties were out in every direc-
ton as the column moved on. One
of them called at a farm house in
search of meat, ana finding a likely
steer on the premises, the farme,
was offered So in greenbacks for the
animal.
Gentlemen, that ar steer is wuth
a good deal more'n that" he replied,
as he looked the party over; but,
seein' it's you I reckon l shall have
to sacrifice sunthin'. ="
One of the federals was trying to
catch the animal, when the farmer
suddenly cried out;
Gentlemen, beef has gone up over
100 per cent. in the last five minutes
You can't have him fur less'n So"
The federals hadn't time to ask why
the market had changed so suddenly,
for a troop of confederate cavalry,
which the old man had been the first
to sight, came charging out of the
woods, and in the riot which took
place the beef question was run out of
sight down toward Wilson's lines.

At fifteen minutes to IL she put on

Three of us walked into the office
of hotel in a little town in Missis-
sippi one night, and when the LAND
lord had been aroused from his nap
behind the stove, a big dog kicked off
the only bench in the room, and the
smoking lamp turned up so that we
could see each other, he sized us up and
said:
Gentlemen, I'm poor landlord
but truthful man. In the first place,
I'll have to put the three of you into
one bed In the next place, it's a bed
so dog goned mean that you'd heap

Don't believe you kin. There's

leaks, and there's no show to build q
fire."
'What sort of tavern do you keep
anyhow"
Poor -miserably poor I'm no
landlord, my wife runs all to
poetry, and the building is mortgaged
for morn its worth?'
"How about breakfasts"
well, you can count on bacon,
'taters and hoe cake, with mighty
poor coffee. The table-cloth Is full
o holes, we never use napkins, and
maybe there won't be forks enough to
go round"
"See here" growled the drummer,
you'd better get out o this and give
room TO somebody who can keep
hotel"

and how shall | go2 l couldn't raise

"Well, It's creek water, and purity

Any more wood TO keep up the
fire?"
Not stick, but I'll cut some in
the morning"
The fsur of us stood looking at each
other for long minute, aud it was
the landlord who spoke fist. He
said:
Gents, it's no use to kick. I'm
sorry, and that's all can do. I'll light
another lamp, bring out pack of
keerds, and We'll play seven-up while
the hired man comes in and fiddles for
us. It's only six hours to daylight and
eight to breakfast, and a shilling plug
of tobacker pays the bill for the hull
three of you"
But when we left the next forenoon
he wouldn't even take that. He said
our society was recompense enough.

A BATTLE WITH THIEVES.
Desperate Encounter Betw cen a Sher-
ff,s Posse and Outlaws.


A fight between posse of officers
and gang of burglars is reported to
have taken place on May Sd, in hol-
low near Manorville, Westmoreland
county, and several men are reported
to have been killed. No definite par
ticulars can be obtained because the
telegraph Office nearest the scene of
the occurrence is closed. The post
office and store at Manorville were
robbed on that night of about $500
worth of goods by Daniel Mitchell
and Solomon and George Haines, all
ex-convicts They were observed
concealing their plumber by farmer.
He notified officer Stiveson, of Kit
tanning, who secured the assistance
Of two men and went in pursuit of
them. He found them, but as they
were doubly armed with heavy self
cooking revolvers and threatened to
take the life of himself and his I'M
armed aids if he persisted in his at
tempt to arrest them he returned to
Kittanning. District attorney Bu-
chanan led a posse OF twelve men to
the woods, and when they encounter
ed the thieves desperate tight oc-
Cured. This information is from a
gentleman just from Kittanning, but
he was unable to furnish details.
There have been great many rob
berries recently in Armstrong, Clari-
on, and Jefferson counties, and these
desperadoes are believed to be the
leaders of the gang responsible for
them. When Stiveson met them IN
the woods Mitchell addressed him in
this style: "Stiveson, the best thing
you can do is to return home. We
see you are onto US, but We don't pro-
pose to be taken. You are married
and have children. If you persist In
attempting to arrest US your children
will be fatherless Now mind what
/ say" This was emphasized by a
held in each hand by each
of the thieves. Stiveson concluded
that under the circumstances it would
be wisest for him to temporarily fore
go his determination.
