Speaking OF cyclones and tornadoes
at the West. the New York Sun re-
marks: Recent experience shows, as
the meteorological history of the past
also attests, that there is hardly any
section of the country in which tor
nadoes will not occasionally form.
Only short time AGO one of these
terrible storms missed Philadelphia
by q hairs breadth, and wrought de-
struction in Camden, and still more
fatal tornado demolished the little
village OF Norwood, near the norther-
most border of New York state. 1t is
a singular fact that in the Adirondack
wilderness, not more than thirty or
forty miles from the scene of the tor
nado, there is huge swath through
the woods known as "the windfall,"
where the complete absence of trees
along a narrow tract, extending sixty
miles through the heart of a dense
forest, preserves the memory of
similar storm which swept through the
wilderness there thirty-five or forty
years ago, and lcvelled everything in
it's course. This is also evidence that,
although they may not be of frequent
occurrence, tornadoes are by no means
unknown phenomena in the neighb0r.
hood OF the Atlantic seaboard.

Ell and children, mostly strangers and
non-residents, to take him by the hand.
One fellow came cooked and PINNED
with 9 aot speech, He was near the
end Of the line, and as he got to the
PRESIDENT he raised his voice grand
l|oquently and said:
II am honored, sir, to be allowed to
take this hand. Now,is the winter OF

A little girl comes next and says:

An Ocean Steamers Lerder.

London Times: Few persons are aware
OF the extensive nature Of the victualing on
board tho great ocean steamers. Each YES:
sci is provisional as follows for tho paHscn-
gers and the crew: $500 pounds OF butter,
5000 i.ams, 1900 pounds OF biscuits, ex-
elusive OF those supplied for the crew; 8 900
pounds OF grapes, almonds, figs and
other dessert fruits; 1900 pounds
Of jams and jellies; timed
meats, G,OOO pounds; dried beans,
1900 pounds rice, 3 1000 pounds; onions,
1900 pounds; potatoes, 40 tons; flour,
300 barrels; and eggs, 1000 dozen. Fresh
vegetables, dead meat and live bullocks,
sheep, pigs, geese, turkeys, ducks, fowls,
fish and cssua! game are generally supplied
at each port, so that it is difficult to esti-
mate them. Probably two dozen bull
locks and sixty sheep would be u fair
average for the whole voyage, and the rest
may be inferred in proportion. During the
summer months when travelling is heavy,
twenty-five fowls arc often used in soup toE

No Fears of Cholera.

Surgeon General Hamilton, Of tho Marine
hospital at Washington says that there is
as yet nothing to alarm the people OF the
United States in the reports coming by GU
bic OF the spread of cholera. Despite
all that has been said about the
portability OF the epidemic reaching our
shores this year, essays there is not a single
circumstanceto render the risk greater than
it was last year. There is every indication
that this years outbreaks are to follow the
course OF those OF last year, the localities
suffering most severely being those which
have not taken the most ordinary prccuu-
tions OF cleanliness and Cisiniection. DR..
Hamilton says America s danger is mainly
from cholera in England orin Cuba. 1t has
been his impression that il it comes to the
United Stat. sit would come by way OF Cuba,
and for this reason the efforts OF the service
hav been directed mainly against contasiop
in that direction.
