The most severe storm, con- bining wind, hal and rain, which we have ever witnessed in this section, visited Clifton Saturday evening, coming from the south, following the river. South Cliff ton felt the force and fury of the storm which dld considerable damage, demolishing the lower and middle suspension bridges and unroofng a portion of the depot. Canvass roofs and tents were removed from their fasten- ings, leaving those who sought protection from the pitiless storm at the mercy of the clements For half an hour rain fell in tor rents and the thirsty earth, like a thing of life, drank the generous water which so copiously descend ed upon the just and unjust. The storm purified the atmosphere and was peculiarly gratifying to those burning with fever. The cattle, upon thousand hills, have the promise of abundant pastur- age for the season of rain, so long delayed, seems to have commenced and the fears of a prolonged drought dissipated.

Rev.

The Times says: During his residence in Tucson, Father. Jouvenceau made hosts of friends, not only among his own people but also among the citizens without regard to relI- gious affiliations, and many will be the good wishes that will fol- low him to his new field of labor and earnest the expressions of hope for his future success"

 Barrett's Circus opened last
 night. Performances were given
 from half-past elght till half-past
 ten. "Circus is circus" as the dea-
 con remarked, but there are cir
 cuses and circuses, and of Barrett's
 show 1t must be said that it has
 many strong features of great in-
 terest, and is in every respect
 equal to what was promised by
 advance agents and advertise
 ments. The geological collection
 is remarkably good, a huge rhl
 noceros. a pair of black tigers and
 a handsome gnu forming some of the unusual features. The strongest parts of the amusement programme are tho riding and the acrobats, and young gentle man who gives tight rope per formance which is simply marvel ous. As daring, graceful and and skilful bareback rider, Rob inson has probably no equal, and Stickney is unapproached in his particular line. Miss Lakes man ege act is wonderfully we'll done, but we must protest against the cruelty of checking horse up so tightly as Pride of the Desert" was when performing. The poor brute almost cried with the pain and discomfort, and quite a mum Der of people could have been heard to remark that the cruelty spoiled all their pleasure in the pretty performance. Miss Ashton, a pretty little girl of about fifteen, gave a most graceful performance on the flying rings, and the bat toute-leaping of whole band of acrobats was remarkably good, and the double somersaults sufficient to arouse the envy of the whole Olympic Club. The strong man of the company is a veritable Sam son, who toys with S0-pound can non balls and whisks about a 150- pound dumb-bell with marvellous case. The Zamites-roller skaters are better than the average, and the Melrose family of bicycle ri- ders are nothing remarkable ex- cept in riding on one wheel. The aerial bicycle act is good, and the tumbling splendid. James Stow and Robert Stickney, in six horse act in separate rings, brought the show to a close amid thunders of applause. The acts were brought out without a hitch, everything was done promptly, and the ar engagements for seating by the ushers were satisfactory. The whole show is specially pleasing San Francisco Daily Evening Post, July 31, 1885.

SENATOR JONES

Yesterday all the Legislative
proceedings necessary to make
John p Jones a United States
Senator for another six years, were
gone through in accordance with
law and the gentleman has been
chosen by the people to succeed
himself.
At this present crisis in the af-
fairs Of silver he will be placed in
a position to do great benefit to his
constituency. From present appear
anccs the battles of silver must all
be fought over again and in fact
it would seem that as often as the
gold ring in Wall street is driven
to the wall, it may be expected to
make its appearance in Congress
again to renew the fight.
There is another measure in Con-
gress which should receive the
hearty support Of Senator Jones,
and this is the Reagan Bill, which
recently passed the House by a
handsome majority 1t abolishes
many of the railroad evils of which
the citizens Of this State have long
complained.
After haying won "a victory for
the silver dollar, and assisted in
passing the Reagan bill, Senator
Jones may rest upon his laurels aud
feel that he has given good return
for the honors he has received from
his Nevada constituents.

The condition of labor in this coun-
try Is not always a. rosy as it Is painted.
The annual report of the New Jersey
inspector Of factories and workshops
reveals to the public that he found 15,-
600 youths and children at work in 500
factories in the State. The average
age at which they went to work was 8
years, after one or two yeara 81 school
ing. All Of then had been accustomed
70 work ten hours day, and many Of
them even fourteen hours. Those who
had entered the shops the earliest in
life were the puniest and mosi icnor-
ant. Some Of thA..i were at work az
90 tender an age that they could not
tell where they began. The weekly
Y:Ses Of the children do not average
-. The inspector has remedied good
deal of this, and sent good many Of
the children to day and night schools.
The New York Bureau Of Labor
Statistics has also found bad state of
infant labor. It appears from the evi-
dencc taken at Cohoes that the little
slaves of the mills there are kept at
work, under their drivers, eleven hours
. day all the year round; that
various subterfuges are adopted for
employing children not vet in their
teens; and that overseers are permitted
to apply the strap TO their backs as we'll
Is to slap them. Tho fathers them-
selves, it appears from the testimony,
have been turned out Of the mills, be-
cause the children and women can bo
got to work more cheaply; and so the
men are described as worthless set Of
do-nothings, after fashion, on the toll
Of the ofisprings. The Superintendent
Of one of the mills admitted: "Fami-
lies come here from Ireland, and the
girls are as healthy and rugged and
rosy-eheeked as yon would over see,
and yet in two years the girls would be
in consumption, and half the family
would be gone in seven years" The
Commissioner says: 1T is an estab-
lished fact that parents would be
unable to support their families with
ont the wages earned by children, and
that even with this ad,li ion to the fam.
lily income, "a majority of families bare
" manage to make both ends meet al
the close Of the year, while consider.
able number actually find themselves
in debt" We ought to let Europe alone
for awhile, and turn our attention to
our own pauper labor. Cincinnati
