DESTRUCTIVE CYCLONE.

Twenty People Killed by a Tornado in Pottawattamie County, lowa* A wind-storm of unusual violence passed over a section of Pottawattamie county, lowa, about thirty miles east of Council Bluffs, on the evening of June 10. We glean the following particulars from the telegraphic reports of the calamity : Persons living in tho vicinity where the storm raged say it was first observed to assume an ugly and threatening form by citizens in the town of Macedonia, a small village in Macedonia township. The funnel, which is ample warning of coming danger, was seen to form about two miles to the west of Macedonia. Angry clouds rolled and tumbled, and passed in and out of each other, as if engaged in deadly combat. It is said that every person who beheld the final mobilization of the fierce and angry elements felt a keen realization of the near approach of eternity, but moments for reflection were very brief. In the twinkle of an eye, almost, tho storm was upon them, and those that had not taken shelter in cellars and “ dug-outs ” stood in the broad road to death, and those who were saved feel that it was by special act of Providence. Buildings were either blown down or unroofed, while outhouses and small buildings were lifted bodily from their foundations and carried away entirely from tho premises. A large number of small shanties, used for boarding and sleeping men who worked upon a railroad being built, were blown into splinters, not enough being left out of them to make respectable kindling-wood. Storehouses were leveled to the ground and their contents scattered to the winds of heaven. A number of two-wheeled scrapers used upon the railroad, weighing hundreds of pounds, were taken up as if but feath--era and wafted away on ungentle zephyrs. Tires to wheels from three to four inches wide were twisted and rolled into knots as one would bend straw around his finger. Horses and cattle were taken up and carried away and dropped to the ground dead. One horse was carried forty rods, and when found its body was a perfectjelly. But little personal injury was done at this place, as people saw the storm coming and protected themselves by retreating to cellars and other underground places of safety. Land here is high prairie ground, and the people could see the storm from afar and use precaution for personal safety. But the storm continued to sweep forward in a northeasterly direction, r nil from Macedonia forward it was most destructive in its course ; dead bodies and demolished dwellings plainly marking its line of travel. Fann houses were in most cases totally destroyed, and farm machinery of all kinds broken into small fragments. About seven miles from Macedonia, on what is known as the “Osler settlement,” great damage to human life was done. Tlie house of Alex Osler was first reached by twisting wind clouds, and it fell before them and in the midst of them an easy, if not willing, prey. In this house were Mr. Osler, his wife and three children, and niece 2 two farm hands and a servant girl. They all died together. The storm swept them away in an instant. They probably perished amid the ruins of the wrecked dwelling, which was a large two-story frame. Not one was left to tell the story of their hasty destruction. One child, however, has not been found, and it either lies buried beneath the ruins or was borne away on the swift wings of the fatal cloud. Jesse Osler, brother to Alex, and who resides near by, suffered instant death, as did also bis wife and two small children. William Osler, brother to the other two, escaped death but his wife and child were blown into the air fully 150 feet. The child is probably fatally injured. Other cases of death are reported, but details arc not given. Twenty persons are known to have been killed in the Osler neighborhood, which is in Grove township, ana six or eight persons are missing, and it is supposed their bodies will be found somewhere in the vicinity where they were last seen.

“My boys,” said a strict churchwoman to her children at the beginning of the Lenten season, “I should like very much to have you deny yourselves something during the solemn weeks of Lent. Will you do it?” “I will, mamma,” said Johnny, a sedate child, who was fond of griddle cakes; “ I’ll do without my cakes in the morning.” “That’s a good boy. And what will you give up, Harry ? ” she asked of his little brother, a bundle of the purest mischief that ever lived, who was fond of play, but had no love for books. “Oh ! I’ll give up going to school, mamma, for my part,” was his ready answer. “ Talking about angels, did you ever read Byron’s ‘Loves of the An gels?’ ” was the question we heard a lady propound to a gentleman, as we passed them byon the street last night. “Never.” “ What, never?” “ Well—not that I remember.” And turning aroimd we we were quite sure that we had not only heard these words before, but that we knew the opera from which they were taken. Why suffer sleepless nights when your baby is not well ? You can buy Dr. Bull’s Baby Syrup at all drug stores for a quarter of a dollar, r

SICKENING DISASTER.

The Lom of the Sarrapuwett, on Long Island Sound—A Frightful Struggle for Life Against Fire and Water. About midnight of Fridays the 11th of June, two large steamers of the Stonington line came in collision .in Long Island sound. Both boats were crowded with passengers. Competition had driven the fare between New York and Boston via the sound down to sl. Many persons took advantage fit the sfnaß fare, and all the boats, since the reduction, have carried large companießj There was a dense -fog, :■ which swept in ’ from the sea, - and -did not Bft for two hours after daybreak. .Veiled in this fog, the two steamboats, approaching from opposite directions, crashed into one another. The Narragsrißett left her wharf in New York, at the close of the afternoon! The Stonington left her wharf in Stonington! several hours later. There "wks a hsavy feg the whole length of the* sound when the Stonington started. This same fog overcrept the Narragansett Both steamers plunged on at a good rate of speed, sounding their fog-whfetles and trusting to the accurate hearing of their pilots and masters to find them a safe way. Every half minute the whistles shrieked. The faint sound of the Narragansett’s whistle was first heard by the Stonington at a point near the Cornfield lightship, a few miles west of the mouth of the Connecticut river and five miles from the Connecticut shore. The Narragansett’s signal said to bear to the.left. The Stonington answered with the same signal. , . - The signals sounded as ’if tn ere was 'a good distance east and west between the twef boats ; but in -a moment more, the. lights-'oLthe two vessels shone -througlvthe fog,. mid wey were going in the saniy poursQ',in .opposite The helm of’rtfia'NarriigailßCtEiwas thrown sharp about, whipb/brongMfoFer broadside to the Stonington. The Stonington plunged on and struck her on the starboard quarter just in front of the wheel. The shock was terrific. It shook the Stonington, which struck point on, in such a way as to throw all her sleeping passengers out of their berths. It ripped open a great hole in her bow, almost down to the water’s edge. If the sea had been heavy she must have gone down at the shock. All the Narragansett’s lights were instantly extinguished. Passengers found themselves locked in their staterooms in absolute darkness. Tlie side of the boat was ripped open below the water’s level, and she filled and sank immediately. A fire also broke forth, and so fiercely that in an hour and a half it farthest all the parts of the vessel remaining above water were destroyed. Fortunately, she sank in shallow water. She must have settled upon some bar, for the water rose only just high enough to submerge the saloon deck. The upper deck would have afforded .a safe asylum had it not been .for the fire. Many of the passengers on board the Narragansett waited neither for the sinking nor for the fire. In sudden terror they leaped into the sea, and, becoming numbed and exhausted, sank before the arrival of aid. Those who waited were'saved. Immediately upon the shock tbe bulk of the passengers climbed upon the top deck. The boat sank, but it fortunately soon struck bottom, and they were still safe. Then the fire broke forth. It whipped so fiercely to leeward that the boats on that side could not be lowered, but the boats to windward were successfully let into the water, all sijve one, which was swamped with a considerable company. The life-rafts were pushed overboard. They proved the salvation of scores. Passengers lashed themselves in lifg-jcckets, and so protected leaped into the water to avoid the fire. Meanwhile assistance was at hand. The steamer City of New York, bound for the metropolis, came up and hailed the Stonington. Life-boats were manned from both boats, and soon the rescued were being lifted aboard the Stonington and the New York by the score. . The panic which followed thU collision was terrible. Men, women and children jumped from their beds and rushed, ..shrieking, from their staterooms, and of them in their night •clothes. They filled the darkened saloon and pushed and jostled each other in thqjr frantic efforts to get upon the deck. The Officers, seem’ fd have- lost their heads completely, and, with the exception of the parser, John Kiernan,’ not one of them, from tlie accounts of the passengers, seems to havv - done • anything to stop the panic. Lights iwere finally procured, and tho passengers fought for chairs, mattresses, life-preserv-ers, and every article which would possibly aid to float them. There were heroic men in that struggling mass of terrified human beings, and •there were', too, cowardly creatures, who took advantage of the weakness of women and children to save their own worthless lives. In the confusion and terror of the moment husbands were separated from wives, and children from parents, and all fought but for one object—to grasp the life which was Hitting from them. Some, weaker than the others, fainted ; some prayed, while all shrieked wildly for aid. In the midst Of the tumult the Narragansett was discovered to be on fire. The bow of the Stonington had penetrated the boiler of the other boat, tho burning, coals of the furnace had been scattered on the oiled woodwork of the steamer, and now to the fear of death by drowning were added the horrors of a death by burning. This increased the panic, and a rush was made for the boats;" but there were no officers at their posts to stop them, and the passengers cut them adrift and piled into them like sheep. The first to reach the waiter was overcrowded, and it was swamped, but the others were put adrift with their precious cargoes. The steamer was settling, the heat from the fire was growing . too severe to be borne, and men, women, and children plunged into the dark waters with chairs, mattresses, planks, and whatever they could lay their hands on. One mother had left her babes in her stateroom, and the fire and smoke fought her back as she attempted to rescue them, so that she was obliged to leave them to perish in the flames. Another jumped with her babe into the water, already filled with struggling, men and women, and the little one was wrenched from her grasp and sucked beneath the waters. "

The incidents of that terrible night are full of suffering and agony to scores of human beings. While these terrible scenes were being enacted on the Narragansett,. the officers of the Stonington seemed to have lost their heads completely. The passengers, after being assured of their own safety—the fear of which had for a time filled them with horror—urged the officers to send boats to rescue the drowning passengers of the Narragansett. After a long delay the boats were lowered, and,then it was found there were no plugs to stop, the . water-holes. To supply these created another delay, and all the time the cries for help were ringing on the night air. The boats were finally rigged and manned, but the men knew nothing of handling the oars, and the result was confusion and much loss of • invaluable time. Once at work, however, the boats of the Stonington did well and rescued many of the drowning men and women. The men worked with a will, which made up in some degree for the lack of discipline. But other and more effective aid whs at hand. Capt. Lanphear, of the City of New -York, sighted the steamer, and bore down upon the disabled vessel. The boats of the City of New York were soon in the water, officered and manned by sailors who understood their work and did it heartily. For an -hour and a half the boats floated around among the drowning passengers, whose struggles in the water were made visible by the light of the burning steamer, and the work of rescue was not given up so long asa head was to be seen or a cry for help heard. Women were pulled into the boats by the hair of their heads when they were just ready to give Up the battle, and men who thought themselves strong fell down apparently lifeless on the decks of the Stonington and City of New York after being rescued. Several persons who were taken on board the Stonington died from ’ sheer ’exhaustion and fright after having battled in the water for nearly two hours. The Narragansett was burned to the water’s edge, and then the hull, with her entire cargo, sank in eight fathoms of water. No accurate list of her passengers was kept, and many who sailed in her are not now known. It is therefore impossible to estimate the exact loss of life. At this writing no estimate of the loss of life approximating correctness can be made. The officials of the steamboat company are apparently bent upon, suppressing the'real facts as long as possible. The number of people burned or drowned is variously placed at from fifty to one hundred and fifty. From all accounts of the disaster, it appears that there was a total lack of the appliances and the discipline which are supposed to be available on snipboard for the saving of human life in such circumstances—no officer to take in charge the business of rescuing the terrified passengers, no crew trained to lower, man, and work the life-boats. The steamer Narragansett cost $320,000 in 1868. She was repaired last-autumn at an expense of $30,000, and was in excellent condition. New boilers were put in about a year ago. Her, value to the company at the time of her loss was not less than‘s3oo,ooo..’ She was insured against fire for SIOO,OOO, and there was marine insurance upon her for $30,000. •

Montenegrin Women.

Deprived of all moral or social pleasures enjoyed by her sox elsewhere, it might be fancied that the women of the Black Mountain would find in her home a reward for the. hardships she endures, and for her unremitting devotion to the inen of her family. Nothing of the kind. Within the compass of the domestic walls the men are-even more brutal than despotic. However careful the wife, the husband finds a pretext for scolding and grumbling. The wife who remonstrates is soon convinced that silence is the best No- Montenegrin woman dares

concern herself in her husband’s affairs. Whether he goes out or comes in, she is not permitted to make any inquiry nor show in any way that she worries over his prolonged or unusual absences. When he his wife, though threatened witl>death, .will never reveal his whereNo husband writes to his wife, no matter how long he is away from home. In the vicinity of Mustar I met a woman whose husband had been two years in Constantinople. Through a indiscretion she learned of his whejeaolMlts sixteen months after the separation. At first, I thought I had met with a very rare exception, but I sochi discovered that it was the general rule. A Montenegrin laughed at me when I expressed indignant surprise. Write to a woman—to one’s own wife! ” said he in scorn. “Are we doves or men?”

The chiAch was warm, the minister was dull, and everybody fell asleep but half-witted Jamie. “My brethren,” shouted the indignant pastor, “you should take the example of that fool there. He keeps awake.” “Ay, ay, minister,” said Jamie, “but if I hadn’t been a fool, I would have been asleep like the ithers.” The aged and infirm are strengthened and faculties brightened by Malt Bitters. England has a new pest, the tipula grub, which ultimately blossoms into a Daddy Eonglegs. If goes to the root of every green thing with amazing appetite, and so serious are its ravages that the Royal Agricultural Society has issued an elaborate description of it and its little ways. Clergymen, lawyers and authors find Malt Bitters a pure and safe invigorant. During the past fiscal year, according to official information obtained at Washington, more settlers have occupied homesteads on the public lands than in any former year.
