sonal experience with a cyclone The actual occurrence which came near cost ing him his life and the miraculous means of his cure, are given below:
 Cyclones are of two kinds, viz: The dark maroon cyclone and the iron gray cyclone with pale green mane and taH, It was the latter kind that frolicked with at the time alluded to.
 My brother and I were riding along in the grand old forest, and I had just been singing a few bars from the opera of 'Whoop lem Up, Lizzie Jane," when I noticed that the wind was beginning to sough through the trees Soon after that I noticed tna~ I was soughing through the trees also, and I am really no slouch of sougher either when l get started.
 The horse was hanging by the breeching from the bough of a large butternut tree, waiting for some one to come and pick him. I did not see my brother at first, but after while he disengaged himself from rail fence and came where I was hang ing, wrong end up, with my personal effects spilling out of my pockets. told him that as soon as the wind kind of softened down wished he would go and pick the horse. He did so, and at mid night party of friends carried me into town on stretcher. It was quite an ovation To think of q torchlight pro- cession coming way out there into the woods at midnight and carrying me into town on their shoulders in triumph! And yet was once only a poor boy.
 Mr. Nye received the warmest sym pathies of the press, and to Q personal friend connected with the Chicago Times, who wrote to him immediately after, he replied as follows:
 Hudson, Wisconsin.
 My Dear -: Tve written a good many letters relative to that blasted cyclone of mine, and get madder and madder as the incident gets further and further away. My leg is getting along very well, but I shall not feel like going on the stage With it. The knee is swollen considerably, and it will be some time before I can get my pink tights over it.
 It's krobby, but it's nice.
 I could play Richard III" this winter, but can't appear as Romeo" It wouldn't do to delay the balcony scene for the pur- pose of rubbing St. Jacobs Oil on my knee. The public would feel justly incensed and the galleries would make jeering remarks.
 Sincerely yours, Bill Nye.
 Upon another subject MT. Nye has written as follows My little daughter recently burnt the palm of her hand very severely, and after had wet it well with a remedy and put my handkerchief on it she did not even cry. So tried it again the other day on the frozen cheek of little girl two years old. It worked like magic.

NEWPORT, R. l., Jan. 3O.-The report sent from Providence of a dynamite explosion in Newport harbor for the purpose of breaking ice was wholly incorrect. Prof. Munroe of the torpedo station states that all the dyna- mite in this vicinity is in his charge and that he has not given any of it out. The shock felt here was caused by genuine earth quake. The Wiokford boat was able to make only two trips to that place from here to-day and the Providence boat was unable to run at all. The ice has not yet begun, to break up, although the weather was warmer to- day.

The State should indicate to the Secretary of the Treasury what is it's will in that regard. He also decided that if there is no agricultural college or station in a State or territory but there is college, such State or territory would not be entitled to the benefits of the. provisions of said act of March 31, 1887, unless an agricultural college be established or station connected with some college already established; that the establishment of 8 station disconnected from the ordinary college will not suffice.
