Jay Cooke. whose failure precipitat-
cd the financial crash OF 1873, is now a
familiar figure along the country roads
northeast of Philadelphia, but he is not
often found mingling in the push and
uncertainty of 1.-THE street. An OBJ
server writes that he had seen him
dressed more in the garb of a country
man than that of a iinancier. His
clothes are plain and his white slouch-
ed hat, with its broad brim, gives him
the appearance of well-to-do farmer.
His hair aud beard were snow white,
and he was driving along with an easy
gait, as il perfectly contented with life.

The wealthy men of California seem
to be having a serious time with those
ladies of their acquaintance with whom
they have been gallant in days past.
This is no doubt owing to the glorious
character of the climate of that state.
which, like the Florida spring of Ponce
de Leon, seems to endow them with
perpetual youth. The affair of Senator
Sharon, in which court held that he
had promised to marry a young lady,
though the senator could not call to
mind any recollection of the event, and
the somewhat similar predicament of
Senator Fair, is now supplemented by
a suit begun against Moses Hopkins, a
brother of the late Mark Hopkins, by
Harriet Moore. Harriet desires S225,-
600 for broken heart, although Moses
is 20 years cid. Whatever the mistake
of Moses may have been, the fact that
he recently inherited 100000 from
his brother seems to have been his mis-.
fortune. Previous to that he was in
very Indifferent circumstances, and
could not have broken heart with a
dge-hammer; but since his windfall
he can 60 out any pleasant day and
gather broken hearts enough for mess.

Madison Matters.
From Our Regular Correspondent

fruH our regular correspondent.
The most interesting topic in Madison
during the past week was the terrible
storm which visited US last Wednesday
night. All the afternoon heavy mass
of blackish blue clouds in the west and
northwest threatened an unusual storm,
but it did not reach us till about $3.50 in
the evening when terrible wind came
roaring upon the city from Fourth lake.
The direction of the storm was from the
northwest to the southeast, and it struck
the city first in the vicinity of the Uni
versity. Several chimneys were blown
from the University buildings, some of
them crushing through the roofs. Along
Mendoza ridge the greatest destruction
was made. This section of the city
being situated on a high bill above the
lake, the furious elements had a clear
sweep at everything. The roof of Post
master General Villas residence was
badly shattered; the residence of DIR.
VIM. Jacobs was almost wrecked, while
his barn was completely demolished.
The boat houses and ice houses at the
steamboat landing were heaped in a
total wreck. A large mass of brick was
hurled against the residence of j. c.
Thorpe with such violence that it
crushed through the side of the house
and shattered the furniture, which it
broke into spinters. At the capitol the
windows Of the assembly chamber were
shattered to atoms and large part of
the tin roof above the north attic was
ripped up, lesting she rain pour down
through the ceili' IS and rooms below
But the most destructive scene of all
was in the park. The ground was liter
ally covered with limbs and tops from
the beautiful trees that ornament the
capitol square. On all sides of the
building the limbs and shattered
branches lay SO thick that the park
presented the appearance of swampy
forest; and now shattered and twisted
stubs are all that remain of some of the
finest trees that beautified the square.
Several large plate glasses were dashed
to pieces and goods that hung behind
them partly or totally ruined by the
wind and rain. Across Lake Monona
the picnic station at Winnequah suf-
fered terribly, not building of any
size escaping the wreck The farmers
from the surrounding country report
heavy losses on barns, sheds and crops.
Old settlers here declare it to have been
the hardest storm they ever witnessed,
and it is almost miraculous how every
body escaped being injured, when so
many were on the streets at the time it
broke upon the city. Several narrow
escapes were reported next day. One
man was standing on Wisconsin avenue,
near the Presbyterian church, and by
the light of a flash of lightning saw
the steeple of that edifice plunging
toward him. He had just time TO spiing
away when the huge mass fell crashing
in his tracks.
Work has now begun in earnest at
the University; the basement is dug for
the machine and carpenter shops.
There is some prospect of Madison
securing the tobacco sheds which are to
replace those burned at Stoughton on
the 9th inst, as the insurance compa-
MES refuse to insure them at Stoughton
where no fire department is maintained
