At Charlotte, says the Observer, the
storm burst in its wild fury about mid
night or a little after, and continued
from that time with no abatement
whatever, but rather increasing power.
The trees lashcd each other as do the
waves during Il great storm. Limbs
cracked and fell; fences were prostrated;
mighty trees uprootcd; roofs blown off.
chimneys blown down; telegraph poles
and wires for miles laid low, and the
streets from one end to the other streun
with limbs and fragments of limbs The
city looked like tornado had swept
over it.
Sleep was impossible. Numbers of the
inhabitants rose, terrified, and dressed.
Mornings dawn brought no lu!l. Nature

and brave was the man who veutured

Nof Obtained "a EoothoId Here.
Free Coinage for High Prices.
WAsuINGroN, ID. c. Aug. 3O.-In the
Senate today, after routine morning
business, the bill for the repeal Of the
Shcrmt act was taken up, aud MIR.
Sherman proceeded to address the Sen
ate. He said that if the repeal of the
purchasing clauses of the act of Iuly.
1890, were the only reason for thccxtra-
ordinary session, it would seem to him
insufficient. 1t was, however. justified bv
the existing financial stringcncy. On
one thing, he said, Congress and the
people were agreed, and that was that
both gold and silver should be continued
III use as money. MonO1n eta1lism, pure.
and simple, had never gained a foothold
IN the the United States. If the Senator's
wanted cheap money and an advance in
prices the free coinage of silver was the
way to do it, but they should not call it
bimctallsm.
The House has resumed consideration
or the new rules. General debate will
close at o'clock.

OF commission largely Monday and Tues
day THE CITIZEN makes up part of its
story of the storm from CONTEMPORARIES
that have come to hand in the mails. The
Charleston News and Courier speaks of
that city as 'almost in ruins; but this
is probably an cXaggeration. At least,
the total loss is given in the News and
Courier's editorial columns as a million
OF dollars, and Charleston "almost in
ruins could not be repaired for any
million dollars the world ever saw.
Here is an account of the condition of
the city from TUESDAYS paper:
The sight that met their gaze was
strikingly familiar. y city almost in
ruins; the streets and thoroughfarcs
strewn with the debris from the roofs of
store and dwelling; the roadways
blocked up by hundreds of giant trees
uprooted from the earth; the sidewalks
strewn with crunbling brick and NOR
tar; the courts and alleys and by-paths
under water; Il magnificent water front,
with its costly docks, where the fleet of
a continent could be berthed piled with
wreckage; some of it's churches unrooied,
more or less injured. Water and wind
had played havoc in the old City by the
Sea.
Charlestons beautiful Battery pre-
sented scene of desolation Monday
morning. The terrible flood of waters
which had dashed their angry waves
over the ramparts throughout the pre-
ceding night had done their work et.
iectually, and the reccding torrent when
it swept back to the sea, carried with it
the glory of the handsomcst water front
that ever graced a city.
1t is, of course, impossible at this time
to make anything like an accurate csti-
mate of the losses caused by yesterday S

The Miner.

An interesting essay on the subjec,
The Miner" written by Colorado
school girl, has been published in the
Colorado Mining Journal. It reads az
follows:
1T is time something was written in
defense of the miner, if only to correct
the idea the eastern people must have
OF him. For years he has been held up
to the delighted eyes of Magazine read
ers as wild and woolly individual. OF
course he wore red shirt, big boots
generally, with bowie knife in the leg
of one of them, and he invariably talked
in dialect, the like Of which never
existed outside the pages of the monthly
magazine. He seems to pass his time
mainly in betting fabulous sums, and
taking an occasional shot at a. friend.
Now, since / have lived in zlpen,
have seen manv and known a rImber
of miners, and they are vefy different
people. They generally weagxas good
clothes as banker or merchant and
are just as we'll hammered as any one
could be. When you see one on the
streets it is rather difficult sometimes
to realize that the well dressed man be.
fore you is the one whom you san but

bucket and creepers in hand, his blue
digging clothes yellow with on and
spotted white with candle grease.f 1t is
difficult to give even slight sketch of
the miner in so short q space. Volumes
might be written concerning his weak |
ness aud virtues, for he has plenty of
both. With him bravery is not a virtue.
merely being matter ofcourse. "A man
is not apt to be coward who daily faces |
the thousand unseen dangers of the
underground world He faces death in
the falling bucket, the caving ground,
the deadly giant and the numberless
other ways that the human foresight
cannot guard against. He faces it
bravely, too, and is as ready to laugh
md Jest as he would be on the street.
He does his work regardless of the many
iiscomforts that surround him. He
oils away In the darkness and wet, and
t he does kick little sometimes who

lis money he generally invests his sur
'lus in little home, or more often, on

frequently, ignorant or uncouth. On
he contrary, many Of the graduates of
ur best colleges may be found in the
mines, earning his living at the end of
