FOLLOWING upon the destruction Of
property by the floods in the Ohio Valley,
the sum of which exceeds perhaps one
hundred millions of dollars, there comes
the particulars of immense loss of life and
destruction OF property throughout the
country from the Pacific to the Atlantic,
the result Of the rain-storms and
cyclones which ragged with unusual
fury during Monday and Tuesday
Nothing like this has ever before been
known in the history of America. Be
ginning at the Pacific, rain-storm of un-
usual violence, which prevailed for two
days, flooded the country and destroyed 100
miles Of the roadbed of the Southern Pa
cifc railroad. which cannot be put in run
ming order in less than two months. No
such visitation as this was ever known
in California, and it has literally ere
ated CONSERVATION among the people
In Dakota the blizzard advertised by the
Signal Service made its appearance on
time, and the result on Monday was the
loss of three stages, with all who were on
board of them. Supplementary these disas-
tiers, there was some loss Of life and of val
uable property in Franklin, Ky, on
Tuesday, by cyclone of unusual
violence and the same wind swept the
little towns Of Fairplay and Scufiietown,
on the Ohio, out OF existence. Coming
still nearer home, Starkville, Miss, was
on Tuesday visited by terrific wind and
rain-storm, and Clarksville, Tenn, was
yesterday visited by two destructive cy-
clones, by which q number of people were
seriously injured, but none killed out
right Then there is the awful, and, in
this section. the unparalleled loss of life md
property in the Cahaba Valley, Alabama.
and in the vicinity of Atlanta, Augusta
and Macon, Ga, by cyclone or Tuesday.
the particulars Of which are heart
rending record of destruction. The same
storm swept the country in the vicinity Of
Wilmington, y. C, and killed fifteen per-
sons. Supplementing this record OF ma
ture's handiwork in two days, we have the
particulars of the explosion of a coal mine
near PIttsbCrg, Pa, yesterday, by
which fifty persons were killed
and great many were injured. Up to
date 1884 tar surpasScs 1883 in the de-
str2ctive results of atmospheric phenome-
ma, and it is difficult TO imagine what else
can overtake us that is worse, save an
overwhelming earthquake. Death and
destruction have had full swing on this
continent since Monday morning.

Special % the Appeal
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, February 20.-Two
more Of the persons injured by yester-
days cyclone in the neighborl, cd Of
Leeds, sixteen miles east nj Birmingham,
died this morning, making ten persons
killed. Those who died this morning
were John Poole, farmer, who lived three

ming from the storm. Poole was
the father OF the youth and little

Freaks :About Marriage.

The proposition of France to tax bach
elors finds its parallel in the records of
the Secretary of States Office at Charles
ton, s. c., in petition bearing date 1888,
and addressed to the Governor by score
or more of old maids. 1t reads:
C,Whersas, we, the humble petitioners,
are at present in very melancholy con-
ditiOn Of mind, considering how all the
bachelors are blindly captured by wild
Ows, and we are thereby neglected: In
consequence of this our request is that
Your Excellency will, for the future. or
der that no widow shall presume to
mary any young man until the maids
are provided fer, or else to pay each of
them fine for satisfaction of invading
our liberties, and likewise a fine to be
levied upon all bachelors as shall be
married to widows. The great disadvan-
tage it is to us is, that the widows, by
their forward carriage, do snap up the
young men, and have the vanity to think
their merits beyond ours, which is a
great imposition to us, who ought to
have the preference. This Is humbly
recommended to Your Excellency's con-
sideratiOH, and we hope you will permit
no further insults. And we poor maids,
In duty bound, will ever pray, ETC."

Lost in the Mugwump swamps.

Very early in the campaign it was
gravely stated that there were 64.124
pledges Of Republicans against Blaine
which were OH file ut the Independent
rooms. Later on the number was set at
86.524, or some such figure, and the con-
scientiOus precision of these statements
was extremely impressive. Then it
was said that in addition to these anti
Blaine voters there were many thOus-
ands of others who would not commit
themselves in writing, but who could be
relied upon to vote for Cleveland. Then,
on the eve of the election, the chairman
of the Independent Committee jubilaDt.
ly claimed that Cleveland would
be given fully as lalgs plurality
as he had received for Governor, viz:
$4,000 Where now, we would inquire
with friendly solicitude, are the 64,124.
or the S6,624, or the $4,000? Where, in
a word, are the Independent hosts for
whom the Post and Times and Harpers
Weekly assumed to speak. and of whom
Mr.. Chairman Deming was wont to boast
so unanimously? 1t Is clear that they
did not materializv to any considerable
extent on election day. If they had done
80 the whole country would not be watch
ing, as at present to see which way the
narrow plurality in New York may turn.

on to that tubular bllsr hat and see me
