Davis majority oyet Remmel in Jefferson county was All This isn't as large as it should be, but considering the fact that Jefferson was once the banner Republican county in the state and the strenous efforts put forth by the opposition, it is not probable that Coy Jeff will accuse his Democratic friends in this neck of the woods of disloyalty to the party or himself Press Eagle.

 From the above it will be seen that the court house ring is trying to square itself with Jeff for the small majority polled for him in this county.

Close Friend for Life.
 Lord Rowton, a very thin, pale man with the quietest manner imaginable. is not ones ideal of a dashing Irish man, but at the same time he is a de- lightful talker, with a witty tongue, and has a charming manner. says a writer. His old nickname, was Monty Corry." and when a young fellow he was brim full Of fun and frolic. As may be supposed, he was a much de- sired guest at country houses, where he invariably proved the life of the party" It was under these cireum- stances that he first attracted the at tenuon of the late Lord Beaconsfeld. Disraeli was never happy when one of a house party in the country. His wife used to declare that, feeling bored and not in toqch" with the rest of the party, he used to sulk and eat too much instead Of talkin at dinner. This made him inclined to be bilious, and she would be under the necessity of taking him home to Hughenden to re- cover. One evening, when in one Of these 1oW-spirited moods, he heard shouts and peals of delighted laughter proceeding from a room near that in which he was sitting, and on inyesti- gating found that this state of liveli. ness-so unlike what he himself was feeling-was produced by the singing, dancing and infectious good spirits of the good-humored young Irishman. Monty Corry.e Lord Beaconsfeld crept Into the room and hung on the fringe of the circle of laughing guests. and very soon an unwilling smile was seen to creep around his mouth, the said smile ending in hearty burst of laughter, which effectually scattered the last shadow of the weight of de- pression which had been smothering him. Soon after this pleasant intro duction he made Monty Corry' his secretary, and they worked well to- gether for the remainder of Disraeli's life.

THE GAHHEST0N= HORROR.

< 111< V ~Ax< ' 1<P1 A - At "A @A11A V 1sANs
 The most disastrous cyclone and food in the history of the United States, both from loss of life and property, occurred at Galveston, Texas. last Saturday and Sunday, when the Texas coast city was wept by tidal wave. No city in the United States is more unfavorablY situated for such disastrous Visita- tiou than Galveston. Tbe city is only SIX feet above =tbe sea level, and is located on an island extend ing east and west twenty seven miles, while its greatest width is only seven miles The is and is con- nectfd with the maitland by bridges on the north side. There arc a num- Der of railway bridges and wagon bridge two miles inIeng h, the lorg est wagon bridge in ahe world.
 The isolated and flat condition of the islapd capses it to be constantly menaeed by wind and wave.
 While Saturdays storm was the seYerest in point of loss Of life and property in the history of Calves ton, it is not the first time that the Texas coast city has been the victim of terrible and destructive tidal waves. Ia 1872 the entire east end of the island was swept by a tidal wave, followed by terrific hurri cane. which did great damage to the city and coast for miles around. Then the eastern lands of the city, upon which many buildings stood, were washed away, and the work of replacement and rebuilding has been going on steadily ever since. But the destruction of last Saturday covered larger area, and the elements were more severe and destructive than ou any former occasion. Almost the entire residence portion of the city was swept by storm and water, and the property loss is estimated att $10.000 eco. The loss of life is va riously estimated at from 1000 to 6000, and it will require several days yet to form ar estimate, approxi-I mately correct, of the total numb mber Of lives lost
 
 Il addition to the loss of life, the disaster to the numerous elevators, some of the largest n the world, will be most sorely felt. The dam age to the shipping interests will sorely cripple Galveston ard con tiguous territory for some time to come This is calamity to the country no less than 10 Galveston itself.
 Many millions of dollars a,e in vested in the wholesale and retail interests ot the city. On Strand street alone there are ten blocks of business establishment that are. said to represent an invested capital of $127 ,000, GOO When 1t is remem bered that the dispatches state that water stood six feet deep in tbe Fremont Hotel, the highest point in the city, some idea can be conceived of the extent and damage done by ahe water

PLENTY OF GRAIN IN INDIA.
Returned Missionaries Say That RAJ

j. W. johnson and family and Mrs.

Mrs. Moyser is at Akola. Mr.. johnson
has been in Kahamagon eight years.
Speaking of the conditions in India he
ssid
"When we left India, on May IS,
6,0Oo,0OO people were on the govern
ment relief lists. On June 1 we heard
that cholera had broken out. In All
medabad. place of 10000 people, over
600 died in the course of the week be-
fore we started. When we left, the
government was transferring 1000 or
5000 people from place to place because
OF lack OF drinking water In my sta
tion, where they are 40, 900 people, there
were only two wells left with water in
them. The people were hauling the
water from wells sunk In the bed Of a
stream never before known to go dry.
Since the last famine, three years ago,
the government engineers have discov-
cred that the level of the water in the
ground has sunk Is feet, which Is the
cause OF all the difficulty. The railroad
engine at our place is obliged to go
IS miles for water. The railroad COM
panles are building tanks and hauling
water from place to place. Cholera,
smallpox and diarrhea are now follow
Ing the famine. We heard at Genoa that
there had been floods at Bombay. Rains
now would be worse than the famine,
for they would cause the grass and
weeds TO spring up. The natives would
seize upon this growth as soon as 1t ap-
peared above the ground, and boil and
eat the mess. Being In such famished
state, this would have very disastrous
effect upon them. There Is plenty of
grain in the country, II the government
would only put little pressure upon
the greedy merchants"
