Although a stranger to the Baron, aa I then thought, X yielded to my friend's : request, and we took tlie afternoon train, arriving at Staloff late in the day. The Baroness received ns gTaciously, regretting: that the Baron was unavoidably absent until dinner. Punctually at seven o'clock my friend and I entered the magnificent dining loom.

Those Silerian Wolf Stories. Now, as to S berian wolves, or, rather, I should say tl ose of Southern Siberia and Orenburg, I am compelled reluctantly to admit chat they are not in tbe habit of attacking travelers on the rood. Arrant cowards, they may bark at and follow solitary wanderers, but as a rule they confine their attacks to the farm yards of the villages, or watch their opportunity throi gh the day to get a young and jnic;' hore that has strayed av;ay from the dro to, or a sheep that has strayed from the flock and the care of their nomadic shepherds. During all our long jouru'iya we have seen ouly 'hirteen wolves, besides the in aginary oms in the Uiids. One evening, tlr ee dajs after the above adventure, about seven, while we were watching the ruoon-lit snoT Scape, my companion -houtrd, "Here they are!" I looked out and there saw seven of the brutes, as big again as good-sized foxes, passing Iri-nri'ly across the road immediately in rout of our sledge. After we had passed they stopp 'd and looked after us in the most leisurely manner. We ordered our yemsch k to stop the team, and getting out of the sledge, had time to take out weapons, load them and fire before they ever attempted to move from the spot; and then they went away quite Itosurely, as if they were not quite sure what was best to be done whether to remain in the line of lire, where they were- comparatively safe, or by running away to put themselves in the way of an accidental death. Another time two wolves crossed the road and waited for us to have a shot at tbem before they thought of loping off to safer (?) quarters. To show you how little danger there is from the attack of the Siberian wolf, I may add that drivers scarcely notice their presence, and that when peasants of the districts through which they have passed want to chastise the brutes tor robbing their farm yards and devouring a fat lamb or so, they mount their fleet little horses and, armed with a heavy club, they start out to hunt the marauders down on the steppes. This they can do easily enough when the snow is soft and only a foot or so deep, for the wolf soon becomes exhausted, nntil finally, panting for breath, he sits down on his haunches and quietly waits for the hunter to knock him over tbe head with hia club. As for wolves following the sledge, I am inclined to doubt tbat they ever do this on the great post route. It is the one absorbing risk of a traveler in Siberia to tell about the wild race before the hounding wolves ; to describe how he bhocts the one which approached nearest the sledge, and how the brute's companions stop to devour their former leader and companpanion, while theyemsoliik whips up the horses at a terrific speed until the danger is passed and the traveler is deposited in safety at the next post station. X know that a narrative of a Siberian sledge journey will be incomplete without isnch a wolf-huntd adventuro, but Siberian wolves on Siberian post routes are not plentiful, and if plentiful are arrant cowards, and scarcely more dangerous than foxes to travelers.

Weaver is a young fanner of good character, and his story is believed. Sokb eight months ago Miss Nellie Campbell, daughter of Harry Campbell, of Fort Wajnu, was attacked with inflammatory rheumatism, which settled in her right knee, producing anchylosis of the knee joint. She has been unable to bend her knee or walk daring the past six months, owing to the adhesion in the knee joint, ct.using it to grow together. The Fort Wavne doctors chloroformed Miss Campbell, the other day, and completely broke up the adhetuon, and expect to have the young lady able to walk in a few weckii. The operation is both dangerous anc; painful. This is about the season for swindlers and patent-rights' sharpers to infest the country. A young mau, "Van Emmons by name, stopped at Rochester, Fulton county, representing himself as an agent for a Logansport and Union City insurance company. By smooth talk he persuaded Wm.

That time having elapsed, Mogle telegraphed to the headquarters of the company, and was iiiform(!d that they had no such agent. Several farmers were "taken in " in the earne way by him. When Henry Smith, of Rossville, Clinton county, awoke the other morning, his first exclamation was, "Who's peen here simse I'se peen gone ?" for he found his safe shattered, the doors open and all the valuables carried away. The money obtained was about $350, while the accounts, notes and papers taken wero valued at $4,500. Smith hitched up his horse and drove to Lafayette a distance of eighteen miles having no difficulty in tracking the robbers, who had driven off with a horse and buggy belonging to Xr. Carson. They discovered the horse and outfit tied to a fence in Lafayette, but the robbers had fled, and no trace of them has boen found. ButtermMiu Few persons know, or seem to know, its value.

Imaginary Birds. Tho phoenix, as everybody knows, gathers dry sticks to make its funereal pyre, which it then contrives to set alight:, and is presently consumed in the flumes. From its ashes a worm crawls out, und, being gradually covered with feathers, takes the form of its parent bird. The eagle, which fears nothing else, dreads the approach of venomous serpents. To avort evU from its eaglets it plaices two agates in its nest. When its beak grows too long it breaks off the snpeilluous piece against a rook. The sorre is a very powerful bird, and takes immense fligtits. It is fond of the comp my of ships, but if a vessel happens to lie tin unusuully swift sailer, it closes its wings and sinks to the bottom of the fca. A sentimental bird is the female turtle-dove. Should its mate chance to

! die, it never again alights on a leafy I tree. It is remarkable for its chastity,

but is averse from melody, if it hears the warbling of other birds it groans dismally. In winter time it loses its feathers, and shelters itself in holes and hollcws. It is related of the woodpecker that if any one drives in a peg to close the entrance to the hole in the tree in whioh its nest is built it flies off in quest of a particular herb with which it touches the peg, whereupon it falls out. This, too, is curious. The hoopoe is unable to moult in a natural manner. Its young ones, therefore, pull out its feathers, and cover and feed her till they are full grown. The stork's young ones are not less filial. So long as the parent bird has provided for her brood, so long will her brood provide for her. On the other hand, the male crow is cruel to its offspring, and pecks at and bouts them till their feathers are as black as bis own. The vainest and silliest of all birds is the peacock. When it looks upon its brilliant plumage it is so delighted that it spreads out the g' cries of its tall, but when it looks down upon its feet it is so disgusted and so ashamed of itself that its tail droops to the ground. It is said to have the voice of a fiend, the head of a snake, and tbe gait of a thief. The E.wan likes to be accompanied by a harp, and is most melodious during the lost year of its lite. It is also interesting to learn that the swallow in capable of restoring tight to its "callow brood" when carried away into captivity and blinded. Any one gowing where snakes abound will do well to take with him some burned vulture's feathers. The heart of a vulture wrapped in the skin of a lion or of a wolf frightens away demons. It is quite untrue that vultures were originally a :race of men who were cruel to the pygmies. But how is it that medical men do not make greater use of the colodrius ? If this beautiful, snowwhite little bird, which is a native of Jerusalem, be held in front of a man whose death is certain, it averts its head, and will in no wist' look at him ; hut, if on the contrary, the sick man is destined to live in spite of his physicians, the caladrius turns to him, as Johu Trevisa expresses it, "faunynge and playsynge." All the Year Hound. Distance of the Sun and Moon. There are several methods of determining the sun's distance from the earth, some of which it woold be difficult to explain satisfactorily to the reader not already familiar with the subjeet of the terms used. Tbe refined investigations of modern science, says Professor Newcomb, have brought to light other methods, by at least two of which we may hope, ultimately, to attain a greater degree of accuracy than we can by measuring parallaxes. Of thoxe two, one depends on the gravitating force of the sun upon the moon, and the other upon the velocity of light. And the same author says, in regard to measuring tho distance of the sun by the velocity of light : "There is an extraordinary beauty in this method of measuring the sun's distance, arising from the contrast between the simplicity of the principle and the profoundness of the methods by which alone the principle can be applied. Suppose we had a messenger whom we could send to and fro between the sun and the earth, and who could tell on his return, exactly how long it took him to perform his journey ; suppose also we knew the exact rae of speed at which he traveled. Then, if we multiply his speed by the time it took him to go to the sun, and we shall at once have the sun's distance, jusi; as we could determine the distance of two cities, when we knew that a train running thirty miles an hour required seven hours to pass between them. Such a messenger ia light. It has been found practicable to determine, experimentally, about how fast light travels, and to find from astronomical phenomena how long it takes to come from the sun to the earth. In 1801! Foucault found by experiment that light traveled about 298,000 kilimeters, or 185,200 miles per second. In 1874 Coruu found by' a different series of experiments a velocity of 300,400 kilometers per second. In 1879 Ensign A. A. Michelson, IJ. S. Navy, found the velocity to be 290,940 kilometers per secoud. The result of Micholson's is for more reliable than either of tho proceeding ones. Combining them alL Professor D. P. Todd, in 1880, concluded the most probable value of the velocity to be 299,920 kilometers, or 186,860 miles per second. Now, we know from the phenomena of aberration that light passes from the auu to tho earth in about 498

seconds. The produa of those two numbers gives the distance of the sun in mill's. These two methods of determining the distance of the sun may fairly be regarded as equal in accuracy to that by transits of Venus when they are employed in tho best manner. How the Queen Vinos.

TERRIBLE TORNADO.

Digest of iLaporlamt L.c'nl Decisions, Whrn a person contracts to do a thing which needs not be done by him in person, his sickness cannot be set up as an excuse for any failure to carry out his port of the contract, in the opinion of tho Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in Smith, administratrix, vs. Perm Mutual Insurance Company. National banks in California are allowed to charge and receive such rates of interest as may be agreed upon, as they n.ay under section 20 of the Natio ial-Bankiug act "charge on any loans interest at tho rate allowed by the State or Territory where the banks are located, and no more," the Civil Code of Calif ornit, section 1,918, providing " that parties may agree in writing for the paymoni; of any rate of interest, and it shall be allowed according to the terms of agreement, until the entry of judgment," in the opinion of the Supreme Court of California, in Hinds vs. Marmolejo. MnJiEBS who were engaged in manufacturing dour, mixing for the purpose red and white wheat, and who had wheat in store for the purpose, and who were receiving wheat in store for others and issuing warehouse receipts therefor, applied to a bank for a loan, and were allowed the loan on condition of their giving a warehouse receipt for 18,000 bushels of wheat as security. They gave the rtieeipt accordingly, stating therein that they had received in store 18,000 bushels of No. 1 white winter wheat and No. 2 red wheat, the same or an equivalent in flour to be held by the bank as security for the payment of a note of $20,000. Tho millers subsequently failed in business, having put a fraudulent mortgagee in possession, and the bonk replevied from him such wheat as was found in store 3,000 bushels No. 1. white winter and took Hour manufactured from wheat in store for the remainder. Upon these taots the Supreme Court of Michigan held: First, that u warehouse could make a valid pledge of grain in store by issuing a warehouse receipt therefor, without the ceremony of making actual delivery of the grain. Second, that the pledge in this case was not invalid liecause of its specifying two kii.ds of wheat, but that the pledge was entitled to take an equal amount of each kind. Third, that, not finding the requisite amount of wheat, the bank might legally take an equivalent from tho flour, as they did. Tnre authorities of a city imposed a flue upon A for violation of a city ordinance in rehifiing to fill up certain sinks on his property after they were declared to be nuisances, and recovered a judgment for the amount of the fine. A appealed in this case Tho Mayor, etc., of Monroe vs. Gerspach and the Supreme Court of Louisiana, in June, afiir jimI the judgment. Judge lievy, in the opinion, said: We think the right exists in the Council of a municipal corporation to determine what in its nature and use it deems a nuisance, and to direct its reremoval or (discontinuance, under the penalties whioh it is by legislative authority authorized to impose or inflict. The power to abate nuisance is & portion of police authority necessarily vested in the corporations of all populous towns. The question of nuisance or no nuisance is always a question t fact in relation to which the opinion of individuals will necessarily differ. It therefore becomes necessary in all populous towns to regulate such matters by police ordinances; and public policy requires that the corporation of tho place should not be disturbed in the exercise of their powers unless they have clearly transcended their authority, A person was injured on a boat from an accident, and the Captain took him for treatment to the family physician, but he was absent, and then he took him to the office of another physician who was also absent-.. He left him, however, at the latter' s office with instructions to Lave every necessary attention given to him, and to have him ready to return in the boat ou that day. The physician sued the Captain for his services, Berry vs. Pusey, and recovered. The Captain appealed, and the Kentucky Court of Appeals, in March, affirmed the judgment. Judge Prior, in the opinion, said : " The person injured occupied no such relation by blood or employment to the Captain as would create an implied promise to pay, but he brought him to the surgeon to have his wound examined and dressed by him,' and this wound had been caused by some negligence of those in charge of the boat.

Having carried tho young man to the j office of the surgeon, the Captain left j

instructions to uave nun attended to so that he might return on the evening boat. This was done, and the surgeon should be paid, and upon the facts of this case the jury had the right to say

Uitptaiu," uraastrf.et Journal, A Reckless JoTornment. When Lee invaded Pennsylvania hay was $17 per ton around Chambersburg, One day a Confederate forage-master drove out into the country with his wagons, and, halting at a farm-house, he atiked if they hod any hay tu sell. "I might spare two or three tons," replied the f aimer. " What is it worth?" " Wal, being you are enemies to the Government, I shall have to charge you $20 a ton." " All right, I'll take alt you can spare," si iid the officer, and he loaded up, and then mode out his receipt and an order ou tho rebel Quartermaster General fox the money.

It was only after the farmer had discovered that he could get nothing that ha explained : " I don't keer so much for the loss of the hay, but it aggravates me to remem- ' tier how mighty reckless them robs was wheu I tucked on $3 a ton.

Crinmelii, I own, Visited by a Cyclone of .'Phenomenal Violence A f.nrire Number of People Killed H.a.vages of lUn storm lUseivhare. V liigLtful storm, or series of stormn, inept ovor a large soction of tho Northwest on tha 17th and 18th of Juno. GruuteU, Iowa, seems to have oeen the greatest Kufferer, a conaidorable portion of the town going down boiforo tho florae wi aa. Tho loss of Ufa is the saddest featuroot tbe disastrous visitation. Is is believed that upward of 150 peoplo wero either killed outright or fatally wounded. At Orinnell alone tho death-roll will reach nearly, if not qrite, 100. Nearly twice that numbor were more or Ivm ueriously injured, while the property lorfa Kiuounta to at least $700,000. A correspondent furnishes the following graphic account of the ravnges of tho hurricane at Grinueli t.nd "icinity -. During the day the weather had beer unusually hut, and toward evening omiitouH-looking elonda hung in the northwest. About 9 ti'clouk a deep and sullen roar like tho appro icli of several rapidly-moving freight trains was li"ard, bat before the caude of the peculiar phenomena was surmised the storm had bunt in all its fury. Btriking the town upon tUo northwest quarter, it cut ft sinuous tiath through the most beautiful reaidenoii put of the town, carrying death and diMttu2tion in its path. Every animate and wankuati object was picked up in its relentless grasp and hurled to death and destruction. Booses were annihilated, fences obliterated, trees broken off bke straws, or in some eases the trunks were left, standing, stripped of every vestig of folrigo and peeled clean of tne bark, leaving but a white monument of the fury of tue storm. Sidewalks wore picked up and Mmei about, each particular plank being converted into an pngine of death in tho ending grasp of tho storm. In the ligut if tlu) terrible damage done it seems almost oiraouloiia that there was no greater loss of dfe. rhor ) can be bat one way to account for It, Slany of the village peoplo were down town doing: tho usual Saturday evening marketing. The iwsiueas portion of the town escaped, and in this way greater loss of life was prevented. The mcu in the track of the storm beggars description. It was about half-past 3 o'clock this moruiug when the special train from Des AIu.u.s, iu charge of Supt Itoyec, of t'je Hack Island road, and bearing a corps of phywiHUg and relief f ireo, arrived. At tha rjnio tv .'. eight (h . ,.l Lt1 Seen wotmrert from U.f dei.ns ! uel! ..one. The Intu'H, sch housrs a' : UOl .rem converted into !-.-u.l w..n hall atone were twent dil i.iHu fa- u.r ''qui theyjutl of 10 !wr. to up m w lose hair had been frosted by age. Au iuu.J! -. ere grief-.-tneken friends and relatives, nnd the snectscle was one calculated to appall tha stoutest b-'art. Tho wreck in tho early gray of. the morning was one of tho most lamentable signtii pr.jsontedi to human eyes. The path of desU'Ucuon wa tnrougu the town of G:rirnell about 701 feet iu width. On the outer edges of the p tlh tbe damage was the lightest. For the space 31 :!0 1 feut in the center scarcely a tree or shrib escaped complete destruction. Houws were licked up and thrown to tha outer circle, some to c an side and some to the other, as the freaks of the wind prevailed. Ia some ruse i tha house., wm removed, dashed to pieces, scattered ; n lragmenU and foundation walk leveled to the gnmud. Nothing was saved of the contents. S.oves, furniture, piauosaud all tho various articles of household paraphernalia were tossed about as though they were but children's toys. Articles of bedding and upholstered furniture wero found miles from thoir proper &t)idiii;;-r laces. The handsome buildings of the Iowa College wero completely destwyed, one of brick and another of stone, entailing a loss upon tha: iastitution of fully $100,000. Th damage to the town cannot fall short of $700,030 or iHUi),000. Passing out of town, the stem, struct a freight train on the Central Iowa, r tilrond, lifted it clean from the traeks, and turned the oars promi-caously urouod. About a mile and a half below Onmiell it struck o vest-bound freight on the Bock Island road l.i ic. removed every one of tho heavilyJoadati cam, twonty-throo in number from the track, Imving the engine standing. Tne conductor of this traiu was fatally injured and has since died. A brakeniaa ou the Central truin had his head completely perforated nith a piece of pine hoard JJeyoud the Bock Island traiu no serious damage W!ia doue until Maleoni was reached, a small tcwu twelve miles oast of Griuuell. Hero tiro work of destruction was re-enaeted in all its iideoiisness. The path of the storm was evidendy much broader here, reaching out to the tout h for nearly the distance of a milt-. The Prosuytenan and Methodist churches were demolihoiL Several business houses were blown Uoren and residences destroyed. Tucro were eigL t lives lost at ilaleom ant the hmuo. diato victuity, though the greatest devolution was dene in the couutry. This littlo town wai nestled nicely ou a gentle knoll To the south and sonlhuust is s. beautiful valley, beo id wiiich in a stretch of undulating mine. Along ou this p.-ahie were located muy ueut fiuoicotUg;i. There is nothing loft of thorn. S tanding la the streets of Hslcom, tan write1 was shown the spots where the day before were loenteel twelve comfortable farm-houses. About half a uile vest of the village Charley Wheeler won killeih Mrs. Akers and her boy Johnny also lo.it their Uvea here. There Is a sad incidout connected with the death of Mrs. Akers. She had just closed her house in town for the purpose of raakirr a visit, with friends in llliols. Last evening she and her boy went over to Mr. Wheeler's to pass the night with his people, her husband being a I. scut iu the mountains. She left a little girl with a youu.j friend in town. Mr. Wheeler's house was uestroyod, and Mrs. Akers' body was found ia a ditch about ten rods away witu a heavy team of timber resting upon her, and a hornbu' gash across the side of thi Lead. When Hid reporter left .Ualcoin the girl was yet ignorant of the fate of her uiotter, and was ph.viug ibout tho streets full of childish f;lee. iUioui three miles southeast of the town ived tic Mc Ulure family of ten persons. But one of them had been found at noon, and it is feared tbat cieath has overtaken them. Fil toon miles scc th of Brooklyn a number of deaths aro reported. Considering tho extent to which the C-1 of tbe )torm had spread when it reached com, ' ts fury is phenomenal. The debris o f the f arui-hi i.ses was scattered over the prairie for a mile or more in a southwesterly direction from the points at which they were located. The lumber was splintered and fragments driven into tho ground with terriflo force. Btrbcd wire bin: recently put ou was blown from tho fence juisls and coiled and twisted into divers shapes Telegraph poles wero snapped iist.nder and spitefully stuel in the ground. The damago to 1 roperty iu and around Malooni is estimated at $100,000. Tho place whoro the storm first struck U not d finitelv known. Northwest of Gnuuoll great devastation is wrought and seven.1 lire aro known to have been lost, four being reported killed iu ono family. At Kellogg, a station east of (Jrituiell, one house was blown dovrn. At Bheldahl several bouses aro reported destroyed, and it n us probably in that vicinity that the first for or the blast was felt. If there was ever a case that called for hrmiau sympathy it

is tho oise of those people wheal misfortune j has so suddenly overtaken. Tho cyclone entered town from the west and , skirted iho odge of tho place, taking a northeasterly course rnvtil within about a hundred yards of the college, where it veered to tho i light, making timost a complete right angle. The wic J of the cyclone varied from fifty to 200 vards. A more-destructive sight cannot well" bo imagined. The course is marked very plainly l.y debris along its path. ArnoiiK the ruins are' what was loft of three pianos, tlso tho j carcassed of many dead horses, cows, dog and pigs. Household goods of ovory description are Boai terod all over the grouud. Many of '. the articles aro porfectly good, but of others ' bardlv anything is left. Tho dohris is fright- ' fill to' IxMold. It covers n groat deal of ground and is pi ed promiscuously in all direction. It consists almotit entirely of splinters and frag- , moots. 1'uo proportion of things uuinjiircd Is i vorv small. Many a phenomenon oau be ob- ; (erved. A lioavy oak plauk was driven through , s two-inch board across tbe gram, mailing as i clean a hole as if cat with a chisel, and driven sevoral foot into the j ground. Tho upper story of a house was j complete ly demolished exooptono wall, in whioh was to to seen a olocot with books on tho shelves, whioh had not been disturbed iu tbe j least ; t.leo a stove standing near, whioh had : not been moved The stove-pipe is still up. : Htrips ol' roofing tin wero carried sovora.l hun- j died yards and wr-tpped around trees in no .

Sherman has issued tho following proclamation: " To the people of Iowa: The tornado which passed through the central portion of the Slato on the night of thfi7th lust, has proven one of the most frightful calamities in the history of tho commonwealth. Along the path of the storm, and especially at Orinnell and Malcom, there was not only a great destruction of property, but an appalling lose of human life, und many who escaped death in their ruined homes are left in a condition of aufferipg and need which appeals earnestly to the generosity of the people. Beady hands and getierous hearta have already done much to care for the wounded and shelter the houseless, hut the results of so frightful a disaster must be longlasting, and others further removed from the scene only await an opportunity to aid their stricken fellow-citizens. "I do, therefore, most heartily recommend that all contributions for their relief lie sunt to the Hon. J. B. GrinnoH, who is fully authorized to receive them, and to whom such a trust of generosity may be most confidently committed. "Buses B Bheohsx.1

Yui- llxtent of the Calamity An Appeal for Aid. Des Moises, Iowa, June 20. The following appeal for aid has been issued: To the rulilic : After two days and nights spent in traversing the track of the tor&ado that swept over this State with such fearful havoc last Saturday uight, and having rsports from scores of the reporters oi the Des Moines fiegister and Associated Press sent to all parts of it, I find tho condition of the stricken people so piteous and so needful of instant and generous help that I se id this appeal to the poop of the United States in their behalf. The tornado made a swath of destruction through the thickly-settled portion of Iowa soma 150 miles in length, and an average of half a mile in width, extending from a point souta of Amis, in the center of the State, and swept in tbe shape of a crescent to South English, in Keokuk county, in the Southeastern part of the State. We have tho names now of sixty-nine dead and 500 wounded, half of the latter grevtously hurt, and probably a fifth of them fatally. Over 300 families have had their homes totally destroyed, and there are now at least 1,500 homeless and in want The loss in property will exceed 02,000, . 000 and may reach $3,000,000. In the town of Grinnell alone over $400,000 in property was destroyed, on none of which there was a cent of insurance, as ia the case of fires. It will take at least (i300,000 to put the people there beyond need and distress. It will tak 100,000 at once to put the wounded people in condition to be cored for. It will take $1,000,000 at the lowest to keep the eufferere from want and to help them to put the humblest of roofs over their heads. The people of Dae Moines and of Iowa are responding gonerouiily. The citizen of this city have subscribed $8,000 this morning, and will make it 920,000 berore night, in money, and are also sending' provisions and olothing beside. But it will take the help of every humane city and town in tho West "and every liberal city and town in the East to put comfort and safety between these stricken people and further suffering and fatality. Griunell is a town of Now England people, a thrifty, intelligent people, and with the lowest rate of crime arid illiteracy in the State and the highest rate of intelligence and morality. The rich towns of the East may well help these ions and daughters of New England iu the distress and need of the utter calamity viait4 tpon them so cruelly by this Moloch of tho tlr, which has killed fifty of their pecple, destroyed 150 of its homes, maimed and mutilated 200 more of lti people, many of whom will soon die, and all of whom must lie cared lor for months, and wiped out totally nearly $500,000 iu uninsured property. Iowa College has had all its buildings destroyed, its 400 vtudouU made homeless, and has suffered a loss ot $75,Co0 hi aninsiuvu property. Tho coiidlHoi ot other towns and faming communities is fully as pitiable and helpless. All that tho people of Iowa ctrn do will be done to alloviate the condition and repair in part the losses of the sufferers. But it will take $1,000,000 to do it, evon to- half-way comfort and recompense them ; and the people of the Slatoi who have always borno their sliaro Mid done their part in all national calamities, may fitly ask the people of other comnmnilieii to help them in thia hour of great calatniiy to many of the worthiest of its people, anl to this I end ask my fellows Of the press through the United States to place these facts before their readers, and to give then- timely help to its sufficient purpose of raising and providing aid at tbe earliest moment possible. Tho fury and power of thb utter calamity were as indescribable In thoir mightiness ot strength as their havoc and power wero cruel and complete. Many peoplo have left of thoir houses not a splinter as largo as a finger, not a shred of furniture as largo as a i-kom of iiilk, and hundreds hive no clothing loft except the night-clothes thoy had on. Case of oxseptional horror add exceptional pathos to tho piteous whole. Women hi pregnancy were killed outright, othors forced to premature delivery, and little children had both parents killed and left maimed and wonnded themselves. Every condition exists tbt most tenderly appeals to tho pity of tho human heart. The wounds inflicted by the debris that filled tne air like chaos, by the electric balls of fire that seemed to traverse every inch oif space and tlsat exploded with fearfullyfatal effect, will, many ot them, defy all skill and nursing oven with the tenderest care. The fury of tho titorm, which was clearly of electric origin, and whioh, indeed, may be desenbod as having boen electricity itself, precipitated in chaos, may be understood from the statomont that, iu various places, it took up in its greater spirals or funnels houses a thounand foot high, and took op and carried large herds of cattle through the air for thousands of feet and lashed them down dead in heaps. Many thousands of cattle, horses, bogs aud other animals now lie in the track of the tornado, already rotting, and adding, in the hot weather, the horror of putrefaction to the foul and pervading odors that are being given off by the millions of tons of decaying matter left in the wake of the tornado. The horrors of tho storm, the unspeakable cruelties that it inflicted, the pitiless woe of its coming In the night, when the dead wore not known and the wounded could not bo found, and the piteous state in whioh it has left hundreds of families, before prosperous, may not be described in wor Is, but occo kno-vn to generous hearts must command tho instant sympathy of tho moral, aud immediate help. Kemittanocs may be made to Hon. J. B. Gi-iunuU, at Grinnell, or the Mayor of Griuuell. I write from the knowledge of two whole days and nights spent on the scone of desolation and among the dead and wounded, and tell the facts oi tho uiui.uiu.u oi ma. re (imply as they are, feeling that they will themn.-lveu best appeal to the country and nuwt effectually aid the sufferers.

Mr. Foster, a fanner nonhwest of Gnnnoll, tad twenty-five cattle lifted from a herd, carried six'.f rods and dropped dead.

He started with his eon to go c'own cellar when the whole of that side-of the house was earned off, leaving the remainder but little damage!. He and his son leaped to the groand. In the tops of some trees was forced a new phaeson so tightly that it oau only be cut out It wa doubled into a roll, and must have dropped there when the treas were bent - downward. Horses and coirs had timbers and splinters driven into their bo dies. Felloes and area of wagest wheel were) to bo seen with the hub and t pokes gone. At one plnoe where only could be sen the nmnV colored debris of a dwelling which had evidently been one of nifinetnent and culture, the only thing left to evidence the fact was a beautiful untarnished rose in fall bloom, a marvel in such surroundings.
