ssTheTornado,o Lincoln J Carter's realistic play which received it's ini- tial presentation at Havlins about a fortnight ago, will return to thu same theater for the coming week. The realistic features of the piece as shown by it's previous presentation proved to be the most elaborate of any of the attempts in that line that have been seen in Chicago. The tor nado scene, in which buildings are swept away and whirling masses fly hither and thither on the stage is a more ambitious effort along the line of realism than the storm scene in the Davenport production of Sar- don's Cleopatra. The play which the author has fitted to his realistic effects contains human interests and natural results and combines with the mechanical to make an interest l. ing production. "The Torn ado" is already booked in some of the large cities of England, although it has had less than month Of existence. Chicago Tribune. At the Opera house Friday night.

Rough on the Assembly.

Sir Herbert Maxwell, M. P, retells a tale about the lord high commissioner ship of the general assembly of the Church of Scotland. When MT. Disraeli was forming his administration in 1874, a certain noDle earl, noted, in addition to many estimable qualities, for his fe- cundity of orcible expletive, expressed a strong desire to become master of the buckhounds. Well, said Disraeli, "I had myself thought of that post for your lordship, but the truth is that her maj esty is very particular about the Ian guage used in tEe hunting field, so I have determined to submit your name for her approval as lord high commits sioner to the general assembly P And to that post he was appointed accordingly.

No Kick Coming.

One day when coupe driven along Broadway at the rate of ten miles all hour had come within q hairbreadth of running me down followed it up for three or four blocks until it came to a halt beside the curbstone.
 "Do you know. [" I said to the driver, who grinned as he saw me approach, that you nearly ran me down ten min utes ago?''
 Yes, sir, , he promptly replied.
 "You had me in between your car riage and a cable car, and it was a close call. y
 Yes, it was, sir. |"
 You didn't even try to pull up your horse, persisted.
 "No, sir. ,"
 'Then you didn't care whether you ran me down or not?"
 "No, sir. '
 Well, that's cool Are you in the habit of killing people who may be crossing the street as you come along?"
 Not in the habit, no. sir. You see, it was this way. A gent picks me up at the Fifth Avenue and wants to git down to the Star theater in five minutes. I can't git him there ill five, but can in eight if there isn't a block and the wheels stay on, and does it and gets 30 cents extra. :"

SLAVE RAIDS IN AFRICA.
More Than Hundred Villages Destroyed
 In One Campaign.

More Than Hundred Villages Destroyed
 In One Campaign.
 As we approached the falls we saw that the river banks had been depopulat cd and the villages were in ashes. We passed dead bodies floating ill the river. Canoes were standing on end like hol- lowed columns; crowds of fugitiyes were afloat and hiding among the reedy islands. These were all signs of gen era1 terror, but we could get no infor- nation of it's character. Vague ideas of an invasion from some savage tribe came to our minds, and now and then we had misgiving that there must be Arab slavers in the neighborhood.
 Continuing our ascent. on the third day we came in sight of huge Arab camp on the right bank, and before long we discovered that the Arabs of Nyan- gwe (Livingstone' farthest point), hay ing heard the most exaggerated reports of our successful descent of the Kongo in 1877 had hastened after us to reap q harvest of ivory and slaves They had been too successful. Over 118 villages uuU De6n uBSblOy0O DGlOW Cb1h1l10J Aa445 alone, rich plunder of ivory was in their camp, and several hundred slaves, old and young, were herded like goats and heavily fettered in the slave pen. It then appeared that while we had been negotiating with the negro chiefs along the river, making roads, building sta tions and hauling steamers overland. the Arabs of Nyangwe had been coming down the river, laying the country waste. We had at last met, about 90 miles below the falls. A glance at the scenes of the camp was sufficient to re- veal what q future awaited the Kongo valley had we not conceived the project of opening the river to civilizing infu- ences There was not moment to lose. We had no authority to open fire on the miscreants. They were subjects of the Prince of Zanzibar, who was protege of Eng and to plunge into hostili- ties with them might possibly involve us i'll serious complications. But while we dared not use force we believed that by continuing the same system we had found so successful with the native chiefs we could check the audacity of the slavers by our mere presence among them. After some days spent in cautious and friendly negotiations with the Arabs we were permitted to establish a station at the falls, and after seeing it we'll advanced we turned the prows of our steamers down river toward Leo poldyille.

SAYS the Arkansas Democrat. "A constitutional convention could be had at an expense of $50, 900 to $40, GOO. The relief it would bring to the tax payers in equalizing the burdens of taxation, in granting relief to town and county in local improvements, in giving longer terms of office to State and county officers and in re ducing the number of elections, would be worth millions to the peo- pie. Mississippi ought to be an ex- ample to us of what can be done by a change in the organic law in these respects.
