Northwest Cyclone--A Zephyr from
Dakota Strays Away up into the Long
Lake Settlement-Trees, Houses and
Barns Scattered. but no one Reported
Injured.
REGINA, n. w. T., April 7tll.-Word
has been received here of a destruct.
i've cyclone that struck a settlement
on Long Lake last Sunday night. II
moved path thirty yards wide
through the bluffs, tearing green trees
up by the roots. Several houses and
barns were blown down and the logs
were carried fifty yards. No one was
hurt. Prairie fires swept II large are;,
of land Il mile or SO north Of Regina
last night.
The above dispatch, headlines and
all, is copied from the Winnipeg Free
Press. Long Lake is about 100 miles
north and fifty miles west of the near.
est point in Dakota; and yet the young
cyclone is a STRAY" from Dakota.
Why Dakota! Why not Montana
which is nearer, or Manitoba which is
about the same distance!.
We wonder that the prairie fire
mentioned was not denominated a

THE END.
The Senate and the People,

Mr.. James Bryce regards the House,
too, as RUTHLESS body" and empha-
sizes the wise check that the Senate
exercises over it. But it must be re
membered that Senate is far
stronger body than house handicap
pei by such name as a House of
Peers. The Senate can originate sup
ply bills, and it can completely alter
revenue bills by amendments. For
instance, when the present Tariff Bill
came back from the Senate, Major
Mckinley, in the House, openly as
serted that the House had made one
bill, and the Senate another, and that
as they possessed certain features in
common, conference ought to be APP
pointed to settle the differences. A
wise conclusion only the premises
went to the root Of all representative
government, viz, that seventy odd
gentlemen, representing Statehood
in no wise the people-could decide
how the people should be taxed. You
say that, representing Statehood, the
Senate does represent the people. /
say it does not, and for the incontro-
vertibility of my statement we need
only turn to the largest and wealthiest
State in the Union, New York, which
has had two Republican Senators ever
since Francis Kernans day, despite
the many times she has gone Demo
cratic. In my opinion, the Senate is
not irresponsible for many of the evils
which l have touched upon, through
this very power of checking the popu
lar will. If you wish an instance, 1
will take its action in refusing to con-
firm the forfeiture of unearned land
grants where it was clearly shown that
the railroads had failed to fulfil the
conditions on which the land had been
given to them. Probably no one
measure has had more to do with
building up these phenomenal fort
unes.-G Gen. Lloyd S. Bryce an North
american Revieao for March.

for a moment. And he, with the
knowledge Of her forgiveness, trust
and love made a strong fight for life.
Suffice it to say, that the fight was
successful. AS soon as he was able to
move they were married and went
abroad. The old house at Mountain
Top was re built, they living in it for
several years. In '75, however, Pill

day as was walking through the
woods, down yonder by the New
Hope, where the duel was fought, l
came suddenly upon Pillan leaning
against the trunk of the oak at the
root of which Dromgoole had been
buried.
"He told me he had come back to
the old place to live. He no longer
hates the place where his murdered
schoolmate sleeps, but rather takes a
melancholy pleasure in being near the
spot.
"But here we are at Mountain Top"
said MIR. Strong, as we drew up in
front of a rambling old fashioned
Southern house, from every window
of which streamed food of lamp and
fire light, "and look here young man,
if ever catch your writing what [
have said up in one of your comfound-
ed stories, Pll-I'll never send you
another ounce of North Carolina to-
bacco"

THE OLD NORTH STATE FOREVER

THE OLD NORTH STATE FOREVER.
By request we reprint the foil wing
verses so dear to the hearts of all true
North Carolinians:

Though the scorner may sneer at, and witlings
defame her,
Our hearts swell with gladnesz, whenever we
name her.
Hurrah! Hurrah! the Old North Safe forever!
Hurrah! Hurrah the good old North State!
Though she envies not others her merited glory,
Say, whose name stands foremost in Lberty's
story?
Though too true to herself, e'er to crouch to
oppression,
Who can yield to just rule more loyal submis-
sion?
Hurraht &c
Plain and artless her sons, bnt whose doors
open faster,
At the knock of the stranger, or the tale of dis
aster?
HOW ike 10 the ruu00eSS OIL thelr dear native
mountains,
With rich ore in their bosoms, an | life in their

Hurrah &c.
And her daughter, the Queen of the forest re-
sembling,
So graceful, 50 constant, yet to gentlest breath
trembling
And true lightwood at heart let the match be
applied them,
How they kindle and flame! Oh, none know
but who've tried them.
Hurrah! &c.
Then let all who love us, love .ae land we live
in,
(As happy region as this sids of Heaven,)
Where plenty and freedom, love and peact
smile before us,
Raise afond, raise together the heart-thrilling
chorusl
Hurrah &c.
