AN APPEAL FOR AID.
Citizens of Victoria, Tex, Ask Assistance for
Sufferers by the Recent Great Storm.

VICTORIA, Tex, Aug 25 The citizens of
this place held meeting last night in the court
house, for the purpose of devising measures for
the relief of the sufferers by the recent storm,
the devastation being so wide spread that the
impending suffering is beyond local aid A re-
lief committee was appointed which issued the
following address, requesting that it be sent
out for publication in the newspapers of the
Unicn:
ITO the Charitably- inclined People of America
Last Friday this section was devastated by
the heaviest wind storm ever known on this
coast, and many of our citizens are without food
OF shelter. Not alone We're the accumulatons of
years, in many instances, swept out of
existence by the fierce hurricane, but
growing crops were destroyed in the fields.
But few of our citizens escaped the general
calamity, and many are irretrievably ruined.
But we are threatened by worse danger.
Gaunt famine follows close upon the whirlwind's
track, and men. and women, and innocent
children suffer for food and clothing The peo-
pie of Victoria county, themselves heavy suffer
ers, are doing all and will continue to do every
thing in their power to relieve the distressed,
and give them temporary assistance until they
can arrange for new start in life; but the fast
multiplying demands of their destitution are ex-
hausting our resources. and unless help can be
obtained from the charitably inclined through
out the United States, our best efforts must fall
largely short of the existing necessity. We
therefore, with all confidence in the just
ness of our undertaking, sure that the
great heart of tho American people
throbs in sympathy with the distressed
of every nation and of every color, issue this our
appeal for help Food and clothing are impera-
lively needed. Without them the growing pangs
of hunger will be succeeded by sickness and
death. Out of your plenty, unswept by storm
and secure from the rush of the CULTS mad
waves send us moiety, be it ever little. 1t
Is only for those who are helpless and in cruel
want, both white and black, that we appeal-not
to replace what has been lost but to reduce hu-
man suffering and check, as we may be able, the
torrent of human woe ROW surrounding so many
of our once happy homes

RALEIGH,sN c., Aug. 25.-Evidence in a trial

rough customers. Each fell in love with the
others wife, They were friends and trade
was proposed. The husband of the blonde gave
the husband of the brunette 81. 20 to cinch the
bargain, and the trade was made. A few days
later the new husband of the brunette concluded
that he got loved his blonde wife as well as his
newer mate. and to settle the matter in the cas-.

circumstances, accrues to them. Besides these
appointments number of peers are given on ad-
dition to their incomes by their wives receiving
salaries for being lay figures in court tomfool-
cries. Total, Ell0,00 to peers and sons of peers.
Besides this the Duchess of Buccleuch receives
1000 as Mistress of the Robes, and eight peer

'The more" says John bright, ''you examine
this matter, the more you will come to the
conclusion which / have arrived at that this is
neither more nor less than a gigantic system of
outdoor relief for the aristocracy of Great
Britain" These salaries would give ESQ per an
mum to 2, 722 persons who are not peers or sons
of peers. Exclusive of royal dukes and minors
there are SOB peers; Ella 500 divided among them
would give f6l6 per head. 1t must not how
ever, be supposed that this is all that our hered-
itary lmpets ges from the public exchequer.
Many of them have pensions and many perma-
nent salaries, while the patronage that they dis
tribute among their relatives and dependents is
enormous. With Whig and Tory gang COM
peting for these spoils and condescending alter

them, it is about as likely that either gang will
