Bismarck Not Expectations.


 The Prussian people believe that Bis rnrck is superstit ous. They say that he is awed by apparitions in uninhabited castl4s, shrinks from dining where thir- teen sit down at table, believes in un- lucky days, and adheres to the ancient belief of the influence of the moon on every living thing. But, according to Dr. Busch, this is all nonsense, with the exception of Q single story which happened at Schonhausen (where the chancellor heard mysterious footsteps in the ante-chamber of his bed-room) "Tbe jests about my superstitions, he said a few months ago, fare nothing but jests, or consideration of the feel ings of others. I will eat at table with twelve others as often as you like, and will undertake the most important and serious business on a Friday"

George Snn Ideal of Life.

To throw yourself into the lap of mother nature; to take her really fo1 mother and sister; stically and relig, iously to cut off from your life what is merely gratifed vanity; to make your. self humble with the unfortunate, to weep with the misery of the poor; to acknowledge no other God than Him who ordains justice anl quality among men; to venerate what is good, to judge severely what is only strong; to live on very little, to give away nearly al, in order to re-establish primitive equality and bring back to life again the divine
 institution; that is the religion I shall proclaim in little corner of my own.

sad Ceremony Conducted In n solemn
and Reverentinl Manner.
The spring wagon which served for a
hearse in this remote region was fol-
lowed by long line of carriages. farm
wagons and men and boys riding on
horseback. For miles around the peo-
pie had come to pay the last sad
tribute of respect to this aged Friend.
whose four-score years had been so
full of good works that sorrow was
universal. Child. grandchildren and
great-granic all were here.
The procession stopped before the little
meeting house The casket was taken
within. All being seated, the Friends
remained with bowed heads awaiting
the direction of the spirit as to how this
funeral service should be conducted.
Many minutes of silence followed.
Then middle-aged man with noble
countenance arose, and clasping his
hands above his cane, he offered up a
most beautiful prayer. commencing
the life of the departed one as a grand
example for the youthful to initiate,
reciting how through many severe
trials she had always preserved spirit
of calm resignation. believing that
He doeth all things we'll" When
later I gazed upon the placid face,
where time or trouble had left scarcely
wrinkle, and saw there sweet con-
tent and perfect peace written in char
acters all might read, knew he had
spoken most truly.
The prayer concluded, another Pc
riod of silent waiting ensued, when the
only daughter arose. and. with face
turned Heavenward, in trembling tones
she said: 'Into Thy hands. oh Father,
we commend her spirit. +" 1t was a
touching sight, all the more impress
sive because it was so different from
the established forms which govern
such occasions In other churches.
Now the people looked upon the face
of their friend and neighbor for the last
time, then followed her mortal remains

THE Usage Indians are about the
only example now left in the United
States of real aristocracy. They do
not depend upon Government rations,
as do the Cheyennes and others, but
have enough, as their own undisputed
property, to make them the wealthiest
community in the country. Besides
the land of the reservation, which be-
longs to them by title hard to assail,
they have about 100000 bearing 5
per cent. interest in the hands of the
Government. They are paid about
$250,O00 a year in cash. The entire
tribe numbers only 1000, so that they
are actually the richest body of people
in the country.

A MOST important experiment has
been made looking to the acclimatiz-
alton of the shad in the rivers which
are in connection with the hydro
graphic basin of the Great Salt Lake,
1t is believed by Colonel Mcdonald
and the Fish Commission that all the
conditions for the reproduction OF
shad are here naturally found. The
late Commissioner, Professor Baird
had determined to test by exhaustive
experiment the capabilities of these
waters. Accordingly 100000 shad
fry were sent to Utah and the young
fish deposited in the Jordan river
This first attempt will be followed in
1888 and 1889. The valueeof these
fish in Utah Territory can hardly be
estimated.

rown wrecked b, cyslons.


Mr.. VERNON, Ill.-The cyclone that
visited this city destroyed nearly three
hundred residences and places Of husi-
ness, and unhoused from 200 TO 1900
persons. In the fall OF walls many
people were buried under the debris,
and thirty-five were killed, while twice
as many more were injured, eight or
ten so seriously that their lives are
despaired Of Preceding the destruct-
i've wind was heavy fall OF rain for
half an hour, which drove all the in
hahitauts tO shelter. This was followed
by a slight hailstorm accompanied
with lightning, and then the furious
cloud, which formed into funnel
shaped cyclone, struck the southwest
portion of the city, unroofing every
thing in its path. Taking diagonal
course through the business part of
the city, il unroofed and dismantled
the superior court building and crushed
the Methodist and Baptist churches
into worthless masses. At one point
the destructive element jumped mp
ward and missed several stores and
residences, but it soon poUnced down
again, tearing down heavy brick build
ings, wrenching and tearing frame
structures out of all semblance, and
making useless mass out OF solid
banks. The massive court house that
occupied the public square was literally
torn to pieces. THE was the extreme
point to the north which the storm
reached. Fifty yards south the storm
seemed 10 be at it's height On the
corner of Washington street and the
public square, Crows block, three
story brick building, was demolished
and, then taking fire, consumed. The
owner, being caught in the falling
walls, was cremated. Across the street
was row of two-story frame buildings
with an occasional brick. The brick
buildings were caved in and the frame
buildings crushed out OF shape against
each other. Near the corner to the
south were a lot of frame structures
which served as dwellings and ware
houses. They were blown down and
then burned up entirely. The storm
was over in three minutes, and the
people who were unframed gave as
sistance to the needy. The fire com
pany, aided by citizens who had
organized into squads, began work
putting out the fire and removing the
unfortunates. The mayor called for
assistance from neighboring towns,
which was promptly given. What was
left of the supreme court building was
turned into a morgue.
The storm does rot appear to have
done any damage outside of Mount
Vernon. Had the storm occurred an
hour earlier, the loss Of life would have
been frightful, as the churches which
were destroyed were crowded at that
time.
Gov. Oglesby has issued a procla-
nation calling for money and supplies
for the sufferers.

because the government at Ottawa has
taken no notice of the destitution OF
these Indians, though repeatedly
brought to its attention.
