by the rapid rolling of a heavy body, as
an iron safe or heavily laden truck,
over the floor. Accompanying the sound
there was perceptible tremor of the
building - not more marked, however,
than would be caused by the passage Of
street car or dray along the street. For
perhaps two or three seconds the occur
renee excited no surprise or comment.
Then by swift degrees, or perhaps all at
once, it is difficult to say which, the sound
deepened in volume, the tremor beanie
more decided, the ear caught the rattle
Of window sashes, gas fixtures and other
loose objects. Then the long roll deep
ened and spread into an awful roar that
seemed to pervade at once the troubled
earth and the still air above and around.
The tremor was now rude, rapid culver
that agitated the whole, lofty, strong
walled building as though it were being
shaken by an Unreasonable power. with
intent to tear it's joints asunder and scat
ter its stones and bricks abroad, as tree
casts its over-ripened fruit before the
breath of the gale. There was no inter-
mission in the vibration of the mighty
subterranean engine. From the first to
the last it was a continuous jar, only
adding force at every moment, and as it
approached and reached the climax of
its manifestations it seemed for few ter
rible seconds that no work OF human
hands could possibly survive the shocks.
"The floors were heaving under foot
the surrounding wall and partitions Wis.,
IDLY swsyed to and fro, the crash of fall
ing masses of stone, and brick and mortar
was heard overhead, and without the ter
rible roar filed the ears, and seemed to
fill the mind and heart dazing percep-
ton, bewildering thought. None ex-
pected to escape. A sudden rush was
simultaneously made to endeavor to
obtain the open air and flee to place
of safety; but before the door was
reached all reeled together to The totter-
ing wall and stopped. The uproar slow.

we dashed down the stairway and out in
the street already on every hand arose
the shrieks, the cries of pain and of fear,
the prayers and wailings of terrified wo-
men and children, mingled with the
hoarse shouts of excited men. Out in
the streets the air was filled to the
height of the houses with a whitish
cloud OF dry sitting dust from the lime
and mortar and shattered masonry,
which falling upon the pavement and the
roadway had been reduced to powder.
On every side were hurrying forms of
men and women bare headed, partially
dressed, some almost nude, and many OF
whom were crazed with fear or excite.
ment. The tall buildings on either hand
blot out the skies and the stars and seem
to overhsng every foot of ground be-
tween them. Their shattered cornices
and coping, the tops Of their frowning
walls seem piled from both sides to the
center of the street. The mysterious re-
verberations swell and roll along like
some internal drum beat summoning the
people to die, and it passes away, and
again is experienced the blessed feeling
of deliverance from impending calamity "

THE EARTHQUAKE.

A distinct shock of earthquake was ex-
perienced on Tuesday evening of last
week in large part of the country lying
east of the Mississippi River. Telegraph
ic advices show that it was felt from the
Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes and
westward from the Atlantic Coast. OBJ
servations OF the direction In which the
seismic wave travelled were, Of necessity,
hasty, and, in some instances, no doubt,
inaccurate. But it seems to have trav-
eled from some center in the Appalachian
range of mountains in North Carolina.
The disturbance was much more severe
and prolonged in South Carolina than in
any other State. There is much appar-
ent incoDgruity in the reports of the time
at which the shock was felt. But the
dispatches come from belts in which two
stand ards-an hour apart are in use,
while in many towns solar time is still in
popular favor.
In Charleston, s. O., the shock culmi-
mated, and the city was we'll nigh de-
stroyed. Some sixty or more were
killed by the falling buildings, two hun
dred injured and six millions of property
destroyed. The Nelcs and Courier, of
Charleston, gives the following particu-
lars:
while engaged in his usual duties in
the second story room of the Nelrs and
Courier office at the time of the first
shock, the writer's attention was vaguely
attracted by sound which seemed to
come from the Office below, and which
was supposed for moment to be caused

TIE AMERICAN FLAG.

The most serene confidence in the jus.
tice Of the principles for which the rail.
road strikers are ~contending in the West,
has been shown by Mr.. John Mangan, a
railroad workman in st. Louis. AS a
freight train was pulling out of the sta
ton. carrying fifty policemen on the en-
CINE and tops of.the cars, and with every
switch guarded for miles, Mr.. Mangan
approached Mayor Francis with an Amer
Jean flag in his hand, and said: "We are
now as helpless as this flag. but you will
yet see us rallied under it in defense
of our principles" So long as Mr..
Mangan and his comrades stick to the
principles represented by the American
flag, remarks the New York Sun, they
may rest assured of ultimate success and
the constant sympathy of the great mass
of their fellow citizens at present en-
gagged in other industries and pursuits.
1t is only those who depart from those
principles by attempting to interfere
with the lawful rights of other people.
who forfeit popular sympathy and cause
the elements of justice in their cause tc
be swallowed up in An overpowering cur
rent of general condemnation. The aal
is the thing to stick to.
