A TOUR OF INSPECTION.
Early yesterday morning iSTgLLI'
GExcER representatives made tour on
horseback from the mouth of the run
back into the county TO some distance
beyond tho toll gate, making careful in
quirics ms to the losses, with view to
forming some estimate, but everything
was in such chaotic condition that it
was Il matter Of impossibility to form
anything like n correct estimate.
The newspaper men were not the only
ones who visited this path Of ruin and
devastation. The sight-seeTs began TO
flock TO the place from all parts Of the
cily at an early hour, and By 10 O'Clock
there were from two to three thousand
people to be found viewing the desolO-
lion between the EoH street bridge and

siderable drift wood. There were seven
ladies and four men, beside the crew,
aboard. A few of the men walked to
town. Below this point near the creek
the road turned bottom up. The only
means Of reaching St. Clairsville now is
via Warnocks, on the Baltimore 4 Ohio.
There are eight slides on the Big Hill,
out the St. Clairsville pike.
Beyond st. Clairsville the only damage
was to crops and fences.
A heavy wind which accompanied the
storm frightened the people there, and
many took refuge in the cellar thinking
another cyclone was coming.

A Beggar's "Guide.
London Telegraph.

The census of Paris beggars, which was taken recently by the prefecture of police, has brought to light some curious facts regarding mendicancy. It is matter of history, of course, that Paris beggars have always been a peculiar set of people from the days of the Court de Miracles to our own but the g1en1 seem to thrive more than ever in these times, when money is made with comparative ease and dis tributed with generous hands. The Paris beggars have accordingly grown prosperous with the age, and we are far from the days of genuine rags and squalor of the Miracle court.
 The beggar is nowadays well trained in his profession. There is the novice who begs indiscriminately from door to door, and the told bird" who only rings the bell of mansions. The gueux have directory of their own, in which the names and addresses of rich philanthropists are given, as well as the dodges to be used for the un- loosening the purse-strings. This is called the "Guide of the Grand Jeu, !" or "big game," and costs six francs. There is a smaller volume for "petit- jeu," which gives the addresses of mere bourgeois people, and only costs three francs. These guides are care- fully compiled and are constantly in- creased by new additions, each beggar who has discovered donor selling the name, address and charitable qualities of the philanthropist to the publish CTS for franc or two. Full instruc- tions are given to the mendicants in the guide books as to how they are to demean themselves before those to whom they apply for aims.
 Rich radicals, they are told, give largely to the poor who represent themselves as victims of the reaction aries, or even to those who allege themselves to have suffered as com munists at the hands of the Versailles government. Others are told what clothes they are to wear when on duty; for a prosperous beggar is SUD- posed nowadays to have a wardrobe. Some philanthropists, for example, give generously to those who affect "clean poverty'-that is to say, pow erty with a well-washed face and faded clothes. Others are munifcent to shabby genteel people who have been ruined in trade; while some are only fetched" by famished jaws and absolute rags. M. Jain, police in- spector, lately came across in noted haunt of beggars man who had been a notary, and who, to show the officer what he know, babbled legal phrases in Latin. Members of parliament are, as rule, great mark for beggars.

MT. c. H. Owens, who as commer- cial traveller, became SO we'll known throughout the country, now has charge of the Hotel Trulock, at Pine Bluff, Ark. Having stopped at many bad hotels, he now knows how to make 2 good one, for he who is ac- quainted with an evil, is often the most apt in practicing virtue.

Didn't Know the Secretary.
Baltimore Sun,

Secretary Endicott is not frequent visitor to the capitol, and therefore it is not strange that the doorkeepers of congress do not know him when they see him. He had occasion to visit the senate to-day, and when he applied to one of the doorkeepers for information regarding the whereabouts of a cer- tain senator, the senate employe, in a most indifferent manner, replied "You will have to go around to the ladies' reception room. We don't hand in cards here."
 "But," said the secretary, "I simply wish to ascertain if Senator - is in his seat"
 "And I tell you," insisted the door, keeper grufiy, "that you must go around to the ladies' reception room" It was very embarrassing moment for the dignified secretary of war, as several newspaper men whom he prob ably knows by sight were present. He drew back, saying that it was very strange that he could not obtain such a trifing bit of information without so much ceremony. Mortified and confused, he bumped into Senator Voorhees, who was entering the senate chamber. The latter came to the as- sistance of the secretary and escorted him triumphantly into the Democratic cloak room, where he was first intro- duced to glass of senatorial lemon- ade, after which he was given an op- portunity to consult the senator he was looking for. The doorkeeper de- clared that he did not know the secre- tary when he came to the door, and had he but mentioned the fact that he was Secretary Endicott there would have been no difficulty. "Such is fame" soliloquized the secretary as he took his carriage back to the war de- Dartment,
