BILLNYE's TUMULTUOUS TIME
He Wrestles With an Adult Cyclone
and Gets Left.

Those who know me best will remem-
Der that have never, openly or secret
Iy written or uttered sentiment that
could in any way be warped into an adj
verse criticism on the cyclone. What
ever may have learned or observed de-
rogatory to the cyclone and its Preacher
Gus and cruel nature, have gone so far
as to stand up for and champion the
cause of the cyclone when its enemies
sought to damage it in my hearing.
did this until suffered personally
among men, and even the blue-nosed
and sore-eyed hoodlnm pointed at me
as passed and said. "There goes Bill
Nye, the friend of the cyclone"
And what is my reward for all this?
Like a peaceful Ute, stealing up through
the sheltering ambush to saw open the
windpipe Of a dear friend, comes the
ring-tailed peeler of the sky, scarcely
moving the green leaves as he steals
along the valley on his hind legs. The
air is like the atmosphere Of death. No
sound is heard except the dull thud of
the woodlands ak as he buFies it in the
heart of pine tree that belongs to some
one else. The sun has dropped behind
a dull grey cloud that's faced with pale
green. Still lower down the steel grey
and purple clouds come boiling over the
tree tops. The tree toad makes a few
desultory remarks, the katydid says
good evening"" Up from the southwest
comes a Sullen mutter, a crash, a roar,
like twenty cannonS in joint caucus, tn
rnSh of falling trees, the crash OF giant
hailstones, the thunder of falling water,
and like the deadly charge of heaven
artillery it is over. That is a cyclone
one of the adult variety when 1t is feel
ing well. When you see one OF that
kind sliding up to the sky, do not try to
twist its tail as it goes by. 1t takes q
strong, quick man to reach out over the
dash board and twist the tail of cy'
clone. He must be strong in the wrist
cool, and soon in his movements.

The Blaine Circus.

INDIANAPOLIS, October 21.-At Peru,
Logansport, Kokoma, Upton and Noble
vile, there were very large crowds,
probably averaging 10000 each, and
Blaine was everywhere received with the
most enthusiastic demonstrations At
each place he spoke briefly upon the
great importance to Indiana, and to the
other States that are developing manu-
features, of maintaining a protectiy e
tariff. 1t was about o'clock when the
train arrived at Indianapolis. The
demonstration here, if not the great
est that has yet been made on
Blaine's western tour, has GER
tainly not been excelled by any
other in either magnitude or enthusi-
asm. Immediately upon leaving the
train, Blaine entered a carriage with
Governor Porter and was driven in a
procession, escorted by large body of
Plumed Knights, through Washington
street, the principal street of Indianap-
lis, entirely across the city to the mill
tary park on this side Along the en-
tire route, nearly every building was
gaily decorated. Arrived at the park,
Blaine assembled the stand, from which
he faced a great multitude, and there
upon being introduced by Gov.
Porter. he delivered speech.
INDIANAPOLIS, October 21.-TO-mor-
row Blaine will go to Evansville, stop
ping at several places on the way.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 21.-SOme
ten DAYS ago Everett P. Wheeler, cOun-
sci for the Civil Service Reform Associa-
ton New York, sent a communication
IN President Arthur stating that Col.
Dudley. commissioner of pensions, WIS
absent from his post, and conducting a
canvass for the Republican party in
Ohio. to the entire neglect of his official
duties, and furthermore that he had
given orders that applications for pen
Sions filed by voters residing In Ohio
and Indiana be taken up out of their
order Of filing, and have preference in
their examination over those filed
nv persons residing in many
other States. The President referred the
letter to the acting secretary OF the IN
terror. who in turn sent 1t to y. L. u.
Clark, acting commissioner OF pensions,
who stC-day made a report IN which,
after recapitulating the subject matter
of the charges. says: q VIII state Drlefy
that Commissioner Dudley lett this city

AYalanches of the Alps.

The natives hereabouts know very lit
tie about avalanches; on the northern
slopes OF the Alps and in the valleys
they know all about them. They say
that the drifting SHOWS, or pOudreuses,
though often bulky enough when
avalanched to cover whole village, sell
dom commit any great havoc. The
tread of chamois is sometimes enough
to get them in motion. Neither do the
glacial avalanches commit important
damages. These latter are formed by
masses of ice detached from the glaciers
and falling down precipitous places
which of course, are for the most part is
uninhabited. The sliding avalanche
another species of the phenomenon.
This is a mass of snow descending slowly
down the sides of a mountain. Its
march is irresistible, but it is rarely des-
tructive. 1t is the rolling ava
lanche that inyokes the terror of the
Swiss mountaineer. This consists OF
a vast mass of packed snow, detached
from the sleeper mountain sides by the
action of the spring thaws. AS such
masses descend they increase in bulk,
hardness, and velocity, and acquire
such an impetus as to cut away the
rocks, corrugate the slopes of the valley,
and tear up or smash every object they
may encounter below. "They are
shrouded cars of Juggernaut," said my
Rh9tian friend and informant, land
under their wheels there is haught but

Village Burned.

QUEBEC, October n.-News from
Gaspe has just reached here that fire
started by people clearing brush land
spread during last night to the village
Of Chlory dormi, destroying all the
houses and boats of the place, rendering
twenty families homeless. The people
at first took shelter in the woods, but
were soon surrounded by fires and OBJ
liged to flee to the sea coast, where they
are utterly destitute and have not had
any food to eat to-day. Immediate as
sistance is necessary, but the fishery
along the coast having been very poor
this season, the neighboring villages can
render but scanty aid to the unfOrtun-
ate sufferers. One family is reported
missing. The poor people saved nothing
and their suferings will be very great
unless assistance reaches them soon.
Chlorydormi is situated about half way
between MotaRe and Gaspe.
