Need Firing, SO Says Collector
Bissel.

WAsHINGToN, Nov. 25.-Herbcrt
Bissel, collector of the port at Buffalo,
and brother of w. S. Bissel, the presi-
dents former law partner, was a caller
at the White House Saturday, in COM
pany with other Buffalo friends. Mr..
Bissel, as a friend, advised Mr.. Cleve-
land to dispose Of his country place at
the first opportunity. Mr.. Bissel said
that he voiced the sentiment of the
presidents many friends in Western
New York, with whom the belief was
general that for the president to con-
tinue as owner of the place would i'm
ply that he has been the victim of the
real estate sharks who sought to grow
rich at the expense of the good name
and generous heart of the president.
Mr.. Bissel also advised that immedi-
ate steps be taken to rchabilitate the
entire district government. If new
officers were appointed, he said, it
would rebound to the presidents
credit and win praise from his friends
in particular and the public in general.
1t was not long after Mr.. Bissels de-
parture before Mr.. Cleveland sent for
Marshal Wilson and had somewhat
extended conversation with him.

the state: it was like heightened cloud
burst, beginning at s o'clock and contin

river, which runs through a portion of

and from so to 100 buildings were swept

number more will yet be found. The
nearest approach that any train could
make to the city was three miles.

The possibility of a number of Indian
miIlionaires in this country in one or two
generations is one which has been barely
suggested, but is worthy of consideration,
in view of the fact that the number of the
Indians is rapidly diminishing, while the
amount of land belonging to them re-
mains the same and their funds are in
creasing. The value of their land is also
becoming annually greater, and as 100000
Indians now own 1874. 700 acres, it is easy
to see that the Indians are themselves
greatly profted by dying off as rapidly as
they can, since the faster they go the
richer will be the survivors. The aborig-
ines, therefore, in the persons of their
latest surviving representatives, will be
among the richest men in the country,
and will be howled at by the subsidized
press" as vile oppressors of the poor.

A Fearful Storm in Virginia.

WINCHESTER, Va, May IA fearful
storm passed over this place this evening
lasting Is minutes. Two clouds of a
greenish cast, hanging low, one from the
northeast and the other from the south
west, met and bursted Immediately over
the city. The wind attained a greater We
locity. Hailstones to the size of walnuts
fell to the depth of two inches to two feet
trees were stripped of their foliage, and
the rain fell in torrents, filling the streets
and cellars. Every house with western
exposure had all the window glass destroy
ed, carriages were overturned on the
roads, the occupants narrowly escaping
with their lives. The storm extended
only about mile on the other side of the
place.

No Good Effect Perceptible.
Boston Record.


The businesslike way that children have
of considering the most sacred things is
often a little startling to their elders A
little Lynn girl came home from Sunday
school one day impressed with her need
of divine assistance to enable her to be a
better girl. Her mother encouraged her,
and explained to her how she could seek
aid. but she said:
"No, mother, you speak to Him about
it; don't like to-"
A few days afterward she suddenly in
quired:
did you ask Him, mammar'-a the
same time explaining her question by an
upward jerk of her thumb.
Eyes, my dear, did
swell, He doesn't attend to His business
very well, then; 1 haven't behaved bit
better"

Jay GOuld's Exercise.
Hipci FnpI1irar

They tell story in Jay Gould's office
about his resolving, on the advice of his
physician two years ago, to take exer-
else.
Il don't wish you to exercise violently"
said the doctor. 'AIl you need to do is to
practice mild calisthenics an hour every
day."
''All right" said Gould: "show me ex-
actly what to do
Thereupon the medical man instructed
the millionaire in a variety of movements,
such as fexing and extending the arms
and legs, initiating the lungs and slowly
excluding the air, beating the chest with
the hands, and bonding the body sideways
and backward. Next day when the brok-
erage partners, Conner and MOrosini,
looked into his private office, where he
sat at his desk reading letters from the
mornings mail, they were astOunded at
the sight. Gould was going through
series Of contortiOns that indicated moth
ing less than raving madness. His eyes
were on the manuscript of a long epistle
and he seemed to be intently perusing it,
but his puny physique was undergoing
the strangest motions-his arms and legs
extending one after another in all direc-
tions and his body doing more genufiex
ions than were ever conceived of by
ritualist. Was he having a fit? No, his
calm face indicated no agony or illness.
Had he gone crazy? That was likely, the
two partners thought.
"What is the matter, Mr.. Gould?" asked
Conner, approaching rather cautiously.
'Is there something bad in the letter."
said Morosini.
s'No, no." replied Gould, setting an arm
revolving like a wheel with one spoke and
no rim; I'm exercising without loss of
time,"
