Capt Thomas will make The Halliday

Prof W. H. Brewer, OF the Sheffield
Scientific School, suggests that the press
discourage the use of the word "cyclone' as
expressive of something much more terri
bic in the way of a wind storm than a tor
nado, whereas the reverse is the case. he
says the tornado has a narrow path and the
cyclone wide one. He also states that
the wind storms which do so much dam
age in the west, are not cyclones at all,
though usually a part of one.
Dir. r. II. Haslam, alias PONY Bob"
advance agent for Buffalo Bills Wild West
CO., was in the city yesterday and called at
THE BULLETIN Office to introduce him
self. Mr.. Haslem is quite a character.
His name IS connected with several of the
important events in our country's political
history, one Of which is that he carried
the news of Lincolus first election across
the mountains, making 10 miles in s
hours and using 10 ponies in the trip.
From this feat he earned the soLriQuet of
'Pony Pill.

q list of the names of the Eckfords, 10 or

used at the match game to-day and they
received the names of the leading Louis
vile club of professionals entire. If the
Eckfurds are composed Of the persons nam.
ed in the list sent, there is not a Paducah
| boy in the club is club of Louisville
professionals from pitcher to fielder. 1t is
probable, however, that the names are not
correct, for the Louisville club that is COM
posed of the men named in the list would
not condescend to play for, and in the place
of, amateurs.
The Chicago Times is dissccting the
favOrite boast of organs and orators that
the Republican rarty saved the Union.
There are no statistics directly showing the
political complexion of the soldiers com
posing the armies of the Union, but there
are statistics which pretty thoroughly es-
tablishes the emptiness of the boast, and
