st. Paul, Mimi, July "a telegram
addressed to Governor Clough from
Barnum last evening, signed William
Cain. village president" stated that a
portion of the village had been de-
stroyed by cyclone and flood. The gov
ernor was asked for aid for building.
Governor Clough has not yet returned
from his trip to Gettysburg with the
members of the First Minnesota and
the telegram was forwarded to him.
Executive Clerk Angel wired to
Barnum for further particulars. He
asked if clothing, food and shelter
were wanted. The reply said that the
village was able to care for all it's
people, but needed aid for building
sidewalks and bridges.
Specials state that a cyclone, followed
by a cloudburst, passed south OF
Barnum Saturday. The Moore Horn
river rose rapidly and in five hours the
water stood three feet deep in every
house on the level ground and a raging
torrent through Main street. compelling
every one to make a hasty move up
stairs. Several families could not re-
move their effects. Every bridge in
town was washed away, and the streets
were torn uD completely. The houses
of j. Murphy, William Nevers, and
Fred Mcguire were blown away and
Mr.. and Mrs. Murphy badly injured, the
former probably fatally. The St Paul
& Duluth lost several bridges and
several miles of track. A great many
logs and ties were washed away. The
water has subsidized but the town looks
deSolate.

Paying the Cook.

In old times to dine with a nobleman
cost more in tips to the servants than q
club dinner. James Payn relates that
Lord Poor, well named Irish peer, ex-
cused himself from dining with the
Duke of Ormond upon the ground that
he could not afford it. ''If you will
give me the guinea have to pay your
cook (fancyD, will come as often as
you choose to ask me, % which was ac-
cordingly done. The duke, however, had
not the pluck to stop the practice Lord
Taafe, general officer in the Austrian
service, did what he could. He always
attended his guests to the door. When
they put their hands into their pockets,
he said: "No. If you do give it, give it
to me, for it was I who paid for your
dinner" To Sir Timothy Waldo must
be given the credit of putting an end to
the monstrous practice After dinner
with the Duke of Newcastle he put a
crown into the cooks hand 1t was re-
jected. IT do not take silver, sir"
Every good, and I do not give gold. !"
This courageous rejoinder caught on, !"
and the day Of walls to cooks was over.
