STORMS ABROAD.
The British isles and the Continent Suffer
from Fierce Gales.

LONDON, Dec 25.-Reports of the
storm received from all parts of Eng
land show that immense damage has
been everywhere caused by the recent
gales. Tie loss will reach tens of
thousands OF pounds. Many buildings
have been blown down and telegraph
wires have suffered greatly. Traffic
has been completely suspended in
many places on account of the floods
Many ships have been driven ashore
by the winds.
Over fifty persons have been reported
dead in different places as a result of
the storm, while hundreds have been
injured Eight persons, while at
tempting to escape from bark
driven ashore at Holy Head, were
drowned. a chimney at She field was
blown down and it is reported that
five persons were killed and many in
jured.
Three fishing smacks went down
Saturday night off Stornaway, on the
Scotch coast, and all three crews,
numbering twenty-five men, were
drowned. At Teelin house collapsed
and the three occupants were killed.
In Stanolar two persons were killed
by falling chimney.
Dispatches from the continent say
that northern France and Germany
suffered severely from the storm, al
though the loss OF life and property
cannot be estimated. At Hamburg
mar vessels went adrift and eollided
or grounded. The tide was the high
est seen since 1882. The lower parts
of Wilhelmshaven on the North sea
were flooded and the dykes would
have gone if the garrison had not
worked energetically for hours to
strengthen them. Lubbock and Col
berg also suffered much damage.
At least thirteen persons were killed
and sixty injured, many of them fatal
ly. by the wreck of the Manche ster
express on the London & Northwest
ern railway, at Chelford, Saturday.
The accident in reality was caused
by the recent storm, which has
wrought so much damage throughout
England.

GREAT MEN OF THE PAST.
New Hampshire Gives Congress Statues of
Daniel Webster and Ger. stark.

New Hampshire Gives congress statues or
Daniel Webster and Gen. stark.
WASHINGTON, Dec. %. The senate
devoted Thursday $ session TO addresses
in connection with the acceptance and
placing in statuary hall of the capitol
of the marble statues of Gen. John
Stark and Daniel Webster, presented
by the state of New Hampshire.
The one that attracted most atten-
ton was that of Senator Hoar rep,
Mass.) in relation to Mr.. Webster.
whose speeches, he said, were the
literature of American nationality.
They were to the American what the
psalms of David were TO the He
brew, what the songs of Burns
were TO the Scotchman. Up to
the nth of March. 1850, when he made
his speech in the senate in support of
the fugitive slave law, he was the ora
Gle of New England. But on that day
he put himself in opposition to the
conscience of the north. The voice of
law, as he interpreted 1t, and the
voice of God, speaking to the
individual soul then for the first
time in the nations history, seemed to
be in confiect. Nothing, said Senator
IIoar, could have resisted the domiu-
ion of Daniel Webster over New Eng
land, until he provoked an encounter
with the memorable conscience of the
Puritan. Senator Hoar.s concluding
sentence was warmly applauded. 1t
was: .Ile is the one foremost figure in
our history between the day when
Washington died and the day when
Lincoln took the oath of office"
Senator Morgan (dem., Ala.) fol-
lowed Senator Hoar, and took an OPP
posite view of Mr.. Webster's defense
of the fugitive slave law, regarding / =
as the most conspicuous evidence o
his moral courage, obeying the con
stitution of the United States rattle
than the clamor and sentiment of New
England.
Senator Chandler rep. n. H. spoke
of Webster's ancestry and his life and
services to the country.
Among others who spoke in eulogy
of Webster end Stark were Senators
Morrill, rep, VII, Davis rep, Mimi,
Lodge rep, Mass.), Gallinger rep,
n. HI, Hawley rep, Conn.,, Cullom
rep, III and Mitchell rep, ore.I.
At 2 o'clock Mr. Baker rep, n. H.
formally presented to congress in the
lower branch the statue of Gen. Stark.
lie was followed by Mr. Blair rep,
\. H.. who, in a short speech, pre-
scented the statue of Daniel Webster.
Other speakers were representatives

NIoBRARa, Neb., Dec. 25.-The suf-
fering among the inhabitants of the
drought blasted part of Nebraska, in
GLIDING three-fourths OF the residents
of FIVE counties, is becoming more in
tense daily, and immediate steps alone
can prevent many deaths by starva-
tion. Three years ago the farmers of
these drought-blighted counties raised
very light crop, and the past two
year the crops have been almost total
failures Many families have not
enough provisions in their homes for
one weeks subsistence and no money
to purchase the necessaries of life

President Mason, of the Nebraska
state relief commission, has been for
warded carefully-prepared report of
the number of destitute families in the

there was crop failure. The list is a

Nationality In the Swiss Army.

Switzerland, with its mixture of
races and tongues, is sort of modern
Babel, a fact WI ich causes much
trouble, in particular to the military
authorities. At Wallenstadt the other
day, at the recruiting station, there
was guard composed of five men.
The chief was lieutenant, VINO spoke
German only: the second lieutenant,
who spoke Italian only; the third a
corporal, who could speak French and
SPANISH; the fourth a private, who
could speak French and German, and
the fifth a private, who could speak
French and Italian. When the leu
tenant had t. transmit an order to the
sergeant he had to get the last-named
man to interpret for him; when he
wanted to communicate with the cor
poral. he had to requisition the fourth
man. and so on. great delay and con-
fusion beiTg thus occasioned.
