WASHINGTON, March 30.-Senator Nc
MILAN to-day presented a petition of the
city council of Lake City, Mimi, setting
forth that navigation through Lake Pepin
is frequently hazardous for want of safe
harbor of refuge. 1t is the most dangerous
portion of the Mississippi river TO RATS and
vessels, and the amount of SIS. 600 now
appropriated for a harbor at Lake City is
wholly inadequate to complete the work as
planned. A larger appropriation is urged.

WASHINGTON, APRIL II, 1886.
THE KrpwELL CASE.

The citizens of the District will
generally be glad to learn that the At.
torney General will proceed at once to
institute n suit against the Kidweil
heirs to test the validity of their claim
TO any portion of the Potomac Flats.
II is a matter of more Than merely local
interest, for uwould seem that on the
carly disposition of this veXatious case
depends the continuance or suspension
OF the pending improvements. 1t thus
becomes matter of national concern.
Every citizen of the country is inter.
ested in having the work proceed with
out delay, and especially interested in
the loss which is certain to accrue
should the improvements be left in their
present unfinished condition for want
of an appropriation.
But why should this embarrassing
condition of things have occurred?
Whose is the responsibility? 1t seems
that the Department of Justice had the
Kidwell claim under consideration n
long time ago. The law clerk who had
the papers in the case went off to Ohio
and died, and to all intents and pur.
poses the papers appear to have been
buried with him. 1t is only since the
present agitation was started that any
effort has been made to resurrect them
There has certainly been great negli-
gence somewhere, and considering the
interests of the Government at stake in
this behalf, amounting to a mil
lion of dollars or more, 1t
deserves to be rebuked as criminal
negligence. Not hand has been
turned to quiet the Kidwell title,
though there have been years to do 1t
in, and now the works on the flats arc
threatened with stoppage, and what
has been done subjected to serious
hazard all through the fault of the law
officers of the Government.
What Congress ought to do now. is
not to wait on further judicial proceed
ings, but make the needful appropria-
tions right away with the reservation
suggested by the Department of Jus.
tice. No negligence in the past will
excuse negligence in the future.

This shred Of song you bid me bring
Is snatched from fancy's embers;
All, when the lips forget to sing,
The faithful heart remembers
Too swift the wings of Enylous Time
To wait for dallying phrases,
Or woven strands of labored rhyme
To thread their cunning mazes,
A word, sigh, and 10, how plain
Its magic breath discloses
Our lifo's long vista through lane
OF three'score summers roses
One language years alone can teach:
Its roots are young affections
That feel their way 10 simplest speech
Through silent recollections.
That tongue Is ours. How few the word.
We need to know a brother
AS simple are the notes OF birds,
Yet well they know each other.
This freezing month Of ice and snow
That brings our lives together,
Lends TO our year living glow
That warns Its wintry weather,
So let us meet as night draws nigh,
And life natures and mellows,
Till nature whispers with sigh,
Goodnight, goodnight, old fellows"

THE TERRIBLE TORNADO.

The tornado, with its weird phenom-
ena and catastrophe exploits, is one
thing, at least, with which we do not
become familiar by frequent visitation;
that is, in the same sense that we do
with ordinary disasters by land and sea.
These we can explain aud understand;
and shocking as they may be to our
sensibilitics, they have ceased to
startle our intelligence.
Much as meteorological science has
otherwise accomplished, it has done
little towards revealing the awful mys-
terry of cyclone and tornado. Many of
our readers, no doubt, have traced the
whirlwind's pathway through some old
forest and wondered at the tremendous
ruin it achieved, but the secret of its
mighty forces--the nature of its eyolu-
tion-has never been disclosed.
We simply know that these storms
occur, that they have certain motions,
that they produce certain results. We
explore the track of desolation which
they leave behind and find general
similarity in their characteristics and
effects; but how it is that their havoc
is wrought--how it is that flying boards
are driven into the trunks of solid
trees, the spokes of wagon wheels torn
off clean with the hubs, hickory sap
lings twisted into shreds like the
loosened strands of whip, big oaks
snapped Off like pipe-stcms, church
bells hurled through the air like shells
from mortar, heavily.freighted rail
way trains swept off their tracks like
card houses, yet human beings lifted
to immense heights and carried long
distances, only to be let down alive, as
not infrequently happens-how it is
that all these marvels happen-by what
subtle agency or process, we know
next TO nothing. We are as ignorant
also Of the means to prevent their re-
currence as we are of their origin and
elements. We are as helpless as ever
at their approach, excepting that many
of the farmers of the West have learned
that the only refuge of safety from
their death dealing terrors is under
ground.
The scientists inform us that the
tornado is species of electric storm;
that it has seasons of its own, peculari-
ties from which it does not deviate,
directions from which it seldom varies
that II has rotary motions, vastly excel.
ling in velocity the rate Of its forward
movement; that II bounds and rebounds
along the earth until it cxhausts itself
and much more of the same sort, and
with such vague glimpses into the
mystery of this "horror of horrors
we must for the present rest content.
II Is of interest to note however, In
connection with the late terrible TEN.
pest in Minnesota, that there were sew
eral storms of precisely the same charac.
ter, ON the same day, at about the same
hour and on about the same course,
but at widely separated localities-at
jamestown, Oak; at Mayville, Mo. al
Extra, Iowa; at st. Cloud and Sauk
Rapids, Mimi The inference, there.
fore, is that while thus isolated, having
no connection with one another, ex
cepting general family relation, they
were, to use a vulgarism, "hatchet
from the same nest"-products Of SINH
lar electrical and atmospheric condi
tions. But where was the nest, ant
how were they hatched?
