A Miniature Whirlwind.

Persons OH South Water street,
in the vicinity Of the market, short
ly after 1 o'clock on Wednesday
afternoon, witnessed curious freak
OF the elements. There was not a
cloud to be seen, but suddenly there
came burst of wind that sent sand,
pebbles and small particles of every
description in a whirl. 1t struck a
pile of shingles, some Of which were
hurled into the air to such a height
that they were lost sight of. Men
at work Oh the yards in Ahe vicinity
were so badly frightened by the
commotion that was going on that
they ran away from the spot. Gem
tlemen who witnessed the phenome-
non say the air in that particular
spot was full of fragments of vari-
Gus kinds, and pieces of paper, chips,
etc, could be seen whirling in the
air at a great height. The minia-
t,rre hurricane, or whatever it may
be called, lasted about five minutes.

large British expedition was needless
He only wanted a few hundred Eng

to clear tAe country of rebels from

In the House of Commons to-day
Mr.. Gladstone again declared that
the Egyptian conference would be
limited to discussion Of the finan-
cial situation. He promised to lay
before Parliament before the con-
ference meets whatever result may
be arrived at from the preliminary
interchange of views between Eng
land and France. No agreement,
he said, would be CONCLUDED with
France without reference to other
Powers. The Government contem-
plated al European engagement and
not a separate one with France. AL
though preliminary negotiations
were taking place with France due
regard had been given to Eng
lands rights and privileges.

A Mysterious Death.

Peter M. Tuttle, Of Germantown,
Stokes county, yesterday boarded
the train at kernersville and paid
the conductor his fare to Greensboro.
After the departure of the train
from Salem Junction the telegraph
operator at that place discovered
dead body on the track at that place
where the train stops to change the
switch, and upon an investigation
it was found to be the body of Tut
tie. 1t is evident that only the hind
trucks Of the rear car passed over
his body, and how or why he got ON
the track under the car when the
tram stopped is IA mystery. $50 in
gold and a tax receipt was found OH
his person. His remains were
brought to Greensboro and are being
held for further identification. Other
developments will be given in our
next issue.-G,eensboro Patriot.

Travellers up the Western North
Carolina Railroad We're treated
day or two since to a most remarka-
bic sight, being what they term a
hail spout on I. mountain side. The
scene was witnessed one mile east
ofAMarshal Station. Properly speak
ing, it was Il water spout at the be-
ginning, but before it ended it turn
ed to hail. The spout broke out on
the mountain above the railroad and
came tearing down directly upon
the track. AS it swept down the
mountain, it brought trees, timber,
rocks and dirt with it, and lodged
them in confused mass on the
railroad track. The hail, our i'll
formant says, could have been raked
up by the basketful, the whole noun
tain side being as white as any snow
fall could have made it. The hail
storm, appeared, confined itself to
the vicinity Of the mount tain in ques-
ton, there being heavy rains, but
only slight falls Of hail on the neigh
borins mountains. Itrequired sever
al hours TO clear the railroad track
of the debris brought down by the
hail spout.-Ch0riotte Observer.

has been entertained by the Domo-

while it does not dlssappoint them,

puts them IN much better shape for
fighting the battle through. Had
