A CYCLONE swept over Callahan county,
Texas, last Thursday week night, doing
great damage. At the town of Buird, the
county seat, with a population Of 1000 peo.
pie, number OF houses were demolished.
A church was blown down upon an adjoin-
ing parsonage, killing young man named
Mays.
THREE survivors of the wreck of the
sealer " Alta " have arrived at San Fran
cisco. They tell tale of extreme suffering
after leaving their vessel in dense fog off
the coast Of Japan in April. They reached
the shore, but were refused a landing by the
natives, who spoke English. When the
men asked for food and water it was re-
fused. For nine days they lived on birds
which they killed and ate raw. After con-
siderable drifting they made a landing 100
miles from their first attempt
IRON and steel men in New York report a
great improvement in every branch of their
trade. Wages are being advanced as prices
60 up. The Lackawanna Iron and Steel
Company has posted notice at its factories
increasing wages of employees ten per cent,
to commence July 1. The advance affects
nearly 5000 men. The company, it is stated,
has orders for its south works which will
keep them running day and night for the
rest of this year. 1t is also said that the
Fair Hill Rolling Mills of Philadelphia have
advanced wages ten per cent.
The worst conflagration San Francisco
has seen for thirty years visited that city
last week Wednesday. More than fifty
dwellings and as many places of business
were destroyed on Fifth and Harrison

go down before the flames was st. Roses

AT the rooms of the American Board of
Com missioners for Foreign Missions in Bos-
ton it is authortatively stated that there is
no occasion for the sens ational accounts
which have accompanied the report that
the Board is about to send deputation to
Japan. The sending Of such deputations is
by no means an extraordinary procedure
on the part Of that society, since it is
deemed expedient that missions be visited
occasionally by secretaries and executive
officers. Any impression that there is
danger OF collapse of the missionary work
in Japan, or Of the practical driving out of
missionaries, is altogether unwarranted
The deputation that goes from the Ameri-
can Board will have to consider largely
questions of finance the expenditure of
money, the pending questions of mission
property and methods of cooperation.

Prizo Giving In French schools.

And while on this general oues-
ton of schools it occurs to me that
the French carry out an excellent
idea in the way of prize giving in
their schools. While in this coun-
try we give TO our school children as
rewards of merit a certificate, d
medal or a book, the most frequent
prize in French schools is a savings
bank book with a small sum to the
credit of the prize winner. The sum
thus deposited to the pupil account
is on an average about 5 francs, or
81 in our money. The result is that
early in youth the French child is
taught the lesson of saving money.
The girl or boy takes a pride in his
bankboolS, and his greatest desire
is to add co it and to ''see it grow y
The result is, as recent statistics
published in France show, that COM
Portable fortunes have been built
upon these small bank accounts. In

inculcated, and the accounts were
continued, while only in 30 per cent

Anew Noted Men.

Flavian Cherrier, who died last week
aged IS, was born in Prairie du CHEN
and lived there all his life. In his
boyhood Prairie du Chen contained
twenty-five families clustered about
the fort. His recollection carried
him back prior to regular commune
cation with the outside world The
families lived upon game and the
Indian corn they raised. The corn
they ground between concave and
convex stones. The flour was very
dark, but was sweeter than
that occasionally brought in. The
first regular supplies were brought in
keel boats from New Orleans and St.
Louis. The boats were propelled by
long poles and sails when possible.
Mr. Cherrier recollected when Fac
hery Taylor aud Jefferson Davis were
stationed here DR.. Beaumont was
his fathers physician He recollected
when the famous Alex st. Martin was
shot and brought to DR.. Beaumon for
treatment. St Martin had gun
shot wound that tore an opening into
the stomach. The doctor put in glass
window" and the flesh healed around
it. Mr. Cherrier used TO 90 to see
the doctor feed st. Martin and watch
the process of digestion. 1t was then
the table was made giving the length
of time it takes to digest certain arti-
cles. He also recollected the build
ing of the second Fort Crawford.

The agreement entered into some
months ago by the BARRIERS of our city
in regard to keeping their shops closed
on Sunday is working first-rate and
seems to give satisfaction. Those
who were in the habit of getting
shaved on Sunday morning lind it
just as easy to have it done Saturday
night. The same arrangement might
be made by our meat markets.
There is no good reason why meat
might not be procured on Saturday
evening for Sundays use thus giving
our butchers an opportunity of keep
ing Sundays same as other people. =
