THE GREAT VIENNA HAIL-sToR1r

Shortly before seven O'Clock this
morning Vienna was visited by
terrific hail-storm, the like of which
has never before been witnessed in
the Kaiserstadt. Thelast great hail
storm, in 1S4S, was exceeded in
violence by that of today. There
were numerous accidents, some of
which proved fatal. Deaths were
caused in three cases by falling trees,
Many horses took fright, and their
boiling was the cause of a number of
more or less serious casualties. The
worst OF these occurred in field out
side Vienna, where detachment of
artillery, with thirty-twO guns, was
overtaken by the storm. The horses
attached to the guns became I'M
manageable and ran away in all
directions. In few minutes thirty
Several were run over, one of them
being killed. Three officers were also
severely injured. In the town itself
large number of people who could
not find shelter in time were much
hurt by the falling hail. The stones
were on an average the size of hazel
nuts and came down in streams.
1t was about a quarter to seven
when the first signs of the rising
storm became visible. Dense clouds
of copper red hue darkened the sky
in the southwest. They rose with
alarming rapidity until they cover
ed the armament and produced semi
darkness. A violent hurricane drove
up the dust in columns to the height
of the fourth floor of the houses.
The hail, which was preceded by
heavy drops Of rain an accompanied
by slight sheet lightning, lay in the
course of a few minutes six inches to
eight inches thick on the pavement.
| The noise can best be compared to
that of severe storm at sea. The
appearance of the capital, which at
this time of the year looks its best,
was transformed in less than a
! quarter of an hour into that of a
| besieged town which had been
bombar1ed. Upwards of hundred
thousand windows were smashed.
In one government building alone,
the ministry of commerce, over FIVE
hundred panes of glass were broken.
The palace itself had six hundred
panes smashed. On the upper floors
of the wing where the emperor :
quarters are situated hardly a
window remains intact. In large
mill on the Danube, which contains
over four thousand panes of glass,
only about fifty escaped. According
to Austrian law the landlords will
have to replace the broken glass.
The storm worked havoc in the
beautiful parks and gardens OF
Vienna. The trees were almost en-
tirely stripped of their foliage, and
all the flowers have been DESTROYED.
The Ringstrasse and the principal
thoroughfares presented a pitiful
sight when the storm was over.
The avenues were strewn with fallen
leaves and broken branches, some OF
the young trees lying across the
pathway. The succeed fronts OF
many houses looked as if they had
been subjected to a volley OF
musketry.

takes longer time before it can put
up the new growth. When clover
has fallen down it is better generally
to carry the swath,' cutting
against the clover as it has fallen
If the attempt is made to cut the
other way a good deal of clover
will be run over by the knives with

GOOD ADVICE.

Every patriotic citizen should give his
personal effort and influence to increase
the circulation of his home paper which
teaches the American policy of Protcc-
ton. 1t is his duty to aid in this respect
in every way possible. After the home
paper is taken care of, why not sub
scribe for the AMERICAN ECONOMIST,

Tariff Lacquer One of its correspon-
dents says: "No true American can
get along without it. Iconsider it the
greatest and truest political teacher in
the United States"

February Forecast. 1894.

The month is most likely to open
fair. attended by relaxing temper
allure which will grow in warmth
till the disturbing forces eliminate
in storms: in the east the cold snap
s..sa.T5:.ing at the closing of January
will still be holding tight rein,
and in the west storms will be in
process Of organization. From the
2nd to the 9th threatening condl-
tons of weather will prevail, which
Will be attended by storm parox-
ysms that may form daily repeti-
tions through much of the period.
Rain, sleet and snow will material
ize-however, not in excessive guam
titles. About the 9th the weather
will clear, when some freezing and
excessive white frosts, frescOing all
objects within its touch with its
silver like gems, will prevail.
Threatening weather will be re-
newed about the 9TH, Sth and 9th,
attended by rain and snow, and
then a cold wave will follow the last
section of the storm train. About
the 18th the weather will soften and
grow warm, with storm manifesto
tions in sight, which will center on
the 18th, then another cold snap
will follow about the 18th or 10th,
which will hold its grip to the next
period of storms, which will center
on the Goth, which is likely to man
ifest much rigor in the sense of
cold in the west and north, whence
the disturbance will reach the pro-
portions of a northern blizzard.
the last period of storms will be
from the 25th to the close of the
month, which will make it's exit in
ice. February is not likely to be
30 interesting month as January
has been to many of our citizens,
except coal merchants. Storms of
more violence, magnitude and
wider spread are likely to be reali-
zed in February than were in Jan
uary. Much of March will see cold
weather, especially the first part,
while the latter part will be change
able and wet.

A Test of Civilization.

Not simply comfort and conve-
nience in the daily intercourse of
social life. but economical consider
atlons of vast Importance are in
volved in the question of improved
roads throughout our country The
most cursory study Of statistics
showing the distance over the aver
age wagon roads of our country
through which load of wheat will
pay its own transportation is a con-
yinclng object lesson to any man
concerning the wealth producing,
labor saving, food cheapening effect
of good roads. A farm II miles
from "a railroad station in a district
with good roads is worth more than
one equally good three miles re-
moved from the railroad where the
roads are as bad as they are in
many farming districts where the
land is rich.
Civilization has been well defined
as the aggregate manifestation of
the mastery which mind has at
tanned over matter among a given
people at a gwen time" This
definition will bear careful thought
and a few physical tests more i'm
mediately Indicate the degree of
civilization which a community has
reached than does the condition of
its streets and roads.-Merrill E.

Co-operatiye Matchmaking.

The system in New Zealand of
constructing roads is by what are
called cooperative contracts. In
these a small party Of men. gener-
ally six in number, is allotted a GER
tain section or length of road; one
of them is elected "gauger" and
trustees for the others to deal for
them with the government. The
government engineer states a price
for the portion of work, and as this
is done by an unprejudiced officer
it is generally accepted without a
murmur by the men. The results
usually have been very satisfactory.
Progress payments are made fort
nightly for the benefit of the mems
families, and the whole amount is
paid up in cash on the work being
passed by the engineer. 1t is the
intention Of the government to pro-
vide small farms of 10 or IL acres
each for these workmen in village
settlements so that they may be
induced to make their homes in
county districts and thus in some
degree nsutralize the centralizing
tendency of modern industrial life.

ASSAULT ON BALD HILL.
far below range from the works on the
crest. Finally the brink was reached,
bayonets were lowered, and with Il savage
cry the line swept forward up to and, in
places, across the barrcade. Then was
another memorable fifteen minutes of des-
perate, frenzied action, blows with bayo-
nets and the butts of rifles freely given and
received.
The heat was intense, so that officers on
horseback were Frustrated, and sunstroke
laid out many gallant fellows whom the bull
lets spared. The lieutenant colonel of the
Sixteenth, the adjutant and two captains
were wounded in the charge. After driv-
ing Cleburne out, Forces men fortified the
hill, and before the day ended repulsed
four distinct efforts on the part of Gle
burne's men to retake it.
The next day, July %, when the Con-
federate commander, Hood, made his ia
nous second sortie against Sherman's lines,
Forces brigade was again put on the de-
fensive to hold Bald Hill, as it is known to
history. Strange to say, the defense was
made at times by the Wisconsin men
standing back to back The Confederates
broke through the lines of one corps and
swept along the works lengthwise, taking
Ball Hill both front and rear. Like bees

federstes swarmed around that hill, surg

hours the battle ragged about that thicket,
and the southerners aptly named it the
Hornets Nest"
All the energies of the south were con-
centrated there for the time, for Prentiss
divisionw would have to be wiped out before
the Confederate line Of battle could sweep
forward. Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston re-
ceived his death wound while inspiring
renewed attacks on Prentiss' last strong
hold. Grant visited the line there and saw
the heroic efforts of Prentiss' men to cope
with the enormous odds in the field against
them.
In the first assault the Confederates
marched boldly through the fringe Of
wood toward the thicket, and only learned
what magazine of death shots was
planted there when the Union bullets began

While speaking Of the industries which have gained for Pine Bluff a wide reputation we must accord one of the first places to the Pine Ruff Mill and Elevator Company, owned and operated by some of the princi- pal business men Of Pine Bluff; gen tlemen who have been foremost aside from their business activity in ad- vancing the material welfare of the city. It is getting to be pretty well known that there is no moreimport- ant or available and widely distrib- uted clements of wealth in the State than her grain interest. The great resources in this line cannot readily be oyerestimated.
