THE unprecedented storms in the
Middle States, the very general and
severe rains throughout the country,
together with the cyclone in South
Carolina, and lastly the vast and
fatal floods in China, make the
month Of August a remarkable one.
These phenomena are SO general and
varied as to attract the attention Of
even the most unthinking and un-
skilled, and to call for the best
thought of the scientist.
1t has been the custom for the
East to look to the West for these
weather maryels. The "blizzard"
and the "tornado" were supposed to
have no counterpart beyond Dakota,
Nebraska, Minnesota and neighbor-
ing sections, but the march Of these
remarkable ana memorable storms
has been eastward, and the loss Of
life and property all along the line
has been frightful.
From a lengthy article on "Flood
and Storm" in the Inter Ocean of
Saturday this is CLEANED.
Probably the most remarkable
year in the history of the United
States for cyclones was 1878. They
began in Georgia, where, Feb. sth,
one killed several persons and left a
track of desolation miles in length.
In southern Wisconsin, May %, a
terrible cyclone began at Mineral
Point and swept across the state to
nearly Milwaukee, leaving ruin
everywhere; in some places entire
families were killed, "and cattle,

Mule Thief-Mr. Bob Carr, who
lives Ii the neighborhood Of Piney
Flats, had two young mules stolen
from his stable Monday night. The
thief went "a Bristol, and after regis
.tering at tho Thomas House as Levi
Guy, took the mules and sold them to
Mr. Il. ID. Pendleton. Guy remained
in Bristol all day Tuesday and at
nightcame TO Johnson City on the
freight train, where he hired two
horses from Mr.. G. H. Matthews liver
ny stable, saying he wanted to go five
miles beyond Curtis store in Johnson
county. Mr.. Matthews sent Grant
Williams, aAboy sixteen OF seventeen
years old, with him to bring the
horses back. They started about 9
O'Clock Tuesday night from Johnson
City, but at this hour, l p. m. Thurs
day, the boy has notreturned. Mar
shall H. G. Caldwell and deputy Sher-
iff w. 7. Sullivan came down from
Bristol last night, and this morning,
accompanied by constable Wilburn
Hodges, Of this place, went up the
Narrow Gauge railroad in pursuit Of
the thief. If he is in the country
they will get him Guy is said to be
desperate character, and it is feared
he may have dealt foully with young
Williams in order to make away with
Matthews horses.

DREAMS AND VISIONS.

Miss Hods9n was in no kind of anxiety
or embarrassment about this visit. She
had quite sufficient reliance on her own
tact, and when, going along to the doc
tors cottage, she found Meenie alone in
that lltie room OF herssEhe, explained the
and naturally. Two girls thrown togeth-
er in this remote and solitary place, with
scarcely any one else to talk with, why
should they not know each other? That
was the sum and substance of her appeal
with little touch here and there about
her being n stranger. and not sure of the
ways and customs of this country that she
found herself In. And then Meenie, who
was perhaps a triile overawed at first by
this respendent visitor, was almost in
clined to smile at the notion that any
apology was necessary, and said, in her
gentle and quiet way:
" Oh, but it is very kind of you. And if
you had lived III one or two Scotch par
ishes you would know that the minister s
family and the doctors family are suppos-
ed to know everyone
She did not add, " and be at everyone's
disposal for that might have seemed a
little rude. However, the introduction
was over and done with, and Miss Carry
set herself to work TO make herself agree
able-Which she could do very easily when
she liked, As yet she kept the invitation
to dinner in the background; talked of all
kinds of thjngs-the salmon-tshing, the
childrrn's soiree she had heard of; Ron
aid; Ronald's brother the minister: and
her wonder that Ronald could be content
with his present position; and always
those bright dark eyts seemed to be
scanning everything in the room with a
pleased curiosity, and then again and
again returning to Meenie's face, and her
dress, and her way OF wearing her hair,
with II frank scrutiny which made the
country mouse not little shy in the
presence of this ornate town mouse. For
Miss Carry, with her upper wrappmgs
discarded, was not only very prettily at
! tired. but also she had about her all kinds
of knicknacks, and bits of fineIy, that
seemed to have come from many lands,
| and to add to her foreign look OF course
| a wOman's glance-eVen the glance OF n
shy Highland girl-takes note of these
things, and they seemed but part of the
unusual character and appearance of this
stranger who seemed SO delicate and
fragile, and yet was full of IN eager vi
vacity and talkativeness, and whose soft
large, black eyes, if they seemed to wan
der quickly and restles-ly from one object
to another, were clearly SO fun of kindness
and "A wish TO make friends. And very
friendly She was; aud she had nothing but
praise for the Highlands and Highland
scenery, and Highland manners, and even
the Highland accent
- ! suppose have an accent myself; but
of course / don't know it, she ratified
on. Even at home they say our West
| ern accent is pretty bad. Well l suppose
| have got IL; but anyway l am not
ashamed of it, and am not In hurry 81
| change it. l have heard of American
! girls in Europe who were most afraid 10
speak lest they should be found out.
