A TEXAS CYCLONE.

The Lone Star State Visited by Destruo-
tive Wind and Hail Storm.
LoNGv1Ew, Tex, March 2O.-A cy-
clone swept over this place at 1 a. m.
accompanied by hailstones of immense
size. The greatest fury was six miles
east of here, where it struck the large
country home of John Cain, lately oc-
cupied by large family of negroes.
The house was in an ancient grove Of
oaks, 20 in number. Every one of them
was uprooted and piled up in terrible
confusion with dead fowls, dogs and
cows, and five dead and eight badly
wounded negroes. Old Alexander Les
ter was found 80 yards away, entirely
nude and dead. His old wife, Sarah,
was pinned under tree, mangled and
dead. Alexander Lester, Jr., was man
gled and is dead. Robert Lester, 9
years old, was found near a tree without
a mark of violence, dead. Jasper Col
Inns was pinned under large oak,
snugly covered in bed with his head
crushed and limbs broken.
Many others were badly aud some
fatally injured.

the forest, all limbs and sprouts
should be removed as soon as possible
up to desired point. This can usual
~ be done with an ordinary knife, or
even the hand. In considering the
removal of a sprout the question
should be, will branch be desirable
at that point? If not, let it not re-
main to rob desirable parts. The
height at which branching should be
allowed to commence must be decid-s
ed by individual taste, which will also
indicate the looping off at other points
of those branches which are i'll formed
and not in harmony with the general
appearance. Dead and decaying
limbs should be promptly removed.

Rio JANEIRo, March 13.-The war is

ing in this city at the elimination OF the
struggle which has continued SO many
months with no object seemingly but to
hamper business and destroy property.
The rebel forces have surrendered un-
conditionally. almost without firing q
shot. The officers of the insurgent fleet
have taken refuge on board French and

WISE WORDS.

These were pure words and true in
the Pioneer Press one day last week,
when that great daily said "the rich
est mines of gold or asbestos which
can be worked are those they will find
everywhere under their feet in the
fertile soil of Redwood county, when
mixed flaming shall take the place of
the present wasteful system of hus-
bandry."
It was clever hint to the farmers
of this county not to allow themselves
to be carried off by any gold, asbestos
or coal craze, or be deluded into any
one particular line of farming, but to
fall into that grander and more profit
able system of mixed farming that
will cause their little accounts at the
bank to grow, rather than diminish,
and to give those farmers who are
not fortunate enough to have bank
account one that they will point to
wide pride. The sturdy yeomanry of
this county form the only foundation
for the steady and successful progress
of the county, and the sooner it falls
into the line of diversified farming the
sooner will come the stability of the
county. The abandonment of one line
and the exclusive adoption of another
will never prove a perfect success, and
the best advice is to gradually work
into the different lines on a small
scale,and by SO doing to lift the mort
gage from every farm in Redwood
county during the next three or four
wears,

AN INHUMAN CONFESSION.

The grand jury of Redwood or
Brown county has duty to perform
when it again convenes. A citizen, a
member of the jury that found Mad
igan guilty, has published over his
own signature, statement that he
knowingly, found an innocent man
guilty, of heinous offense. In this
letter, the substance OF which is given
in another column, he reveals the pro-
ceedings of a jury in a criminal action,
in a manner for which we can find no
equal. He states that he believes
Madigan was innocent, according to
the evidence, but in order to reach a
verdict, he cast the veil of shame over
a high official, his wife and his child
rem, and their children of future gen.
erations. We know of nothing that
will equal this confession. We have
read of the degradations of the human
race, in fiction and reality, and we
have yet to find case that will equal
this, wherein human being, believing
man innocent, would brand him
felon and put shame on his loved
ones forever. We do not know wheth-
er there is a law Furnishing jurors for
revealing the proceedings of jury in
criminal case; we know not whether
there is law furnishing man for
sending fellow being to the peniten-
tiary when he believes him innocent;
but if there is, the grand jury of one
of the two counties should find it, and
bring this man to an accounting for
such strange, sensational and inhu
man confession. It is a blow at the
jury system, blow at our personal
safety.

INSURGENTS SURRENDER.

The Appearance of the Government
Squadron Has the Desired Effect.
Rio DE JANEIRo, March 13.-At 12
o'clock precisely the bar fortress opened
fire on Fort Villegaignon. In short
time the government forces at Fort Ar
macao and Fort Gragoata joined in the
bombardment. The fire was not re-
turned by the insurgents. The bonn
bardment was continued until o'clock,
when it ceased. CASTILLO, San Bento,
Saude, Curvello and all the city batter
les then opened furious fire upon Fort
Villegaignon and the insurgent warship
Tamandre. The fire was also directed
upon the insurgent works at Cobras
island and at other places. The forces
at Enchadas lowered the hospital flag
and hoisted the insurgent ensign. The
garrison at Governors island also took
part in the attack on Fort Villegaignon,
which was badly hammered by the gov
eminent guns. The works on Cobras
island took fire, but the flames were
soon extinguished.
No Great Damage Done.
The firing of the batteries lasted for
an hour. No great damage was done.
The insurgents did not fire shot, hus-
banding their ammunition.
At o'clock the government fleet ap-
peared off the harbor, the torpedo boat
Aurora leading. The other vessels in
the fleet were the Nictheroy, America,
Itaipu, Bahia, Tiradentes and Parahyba
and two steamers and five torpedo
boats. Immediately upon the appear
ance of the squadron the rebels hauled
dowa the white ensign from one of the
ships which was lying at Enchadas, and
hoisted signal which was answered
from shore. A launch containing an
officer then went from one insurgent
ship to another and each vessel lowered
the white flag. Two torpedo boats from
the government fleet outside then en-
tered the bay. One Of them went to
Fort Villegaignon. and it was shortly
followed by the launch from the rebel
ship. A few minutes later the white
ensign came down from the fort and at
quarter to + o'clock the government
fleet came up the bay. being welcome
sight to the anxious people on shore.

THE FOREST.
Majestic and Delightful Appear
dnCe.

As trees grow quickly together in
the forests the lower limbs die and
drop off while they are small. But
in cases of isolated trees the conditions
are SO different that unless pruned
they are often i'll shaped and insight
ly. Many people enormously imag-
inc that as tree grows the limbs will
be raised higher, whereas, from in
creased weight, they droop and be-
come really lower. The common
practice is to neglect pruning shade
trees until the view is obstructed by
large low limbs, which are then hero
ically sawed off, leaving large knots
and scars, which must ever remain to
offend the eye. These useless branch
es were grown at the expense of the
main trunk. Such trees can never
present the fine and majestic appear
ance of those which have nearly uni
form diameter from the ground to the
lowest limbs.
