A TORNADO’S PATH,

ft Leads from Rfanoari to Wisconsin, and Is Strewn with Death , „ and Destruction. Tracing the Wlndv Monster from Its BLrtM Its Digappearanoe. Of the most extensive and damaging visitations of toe kind ever experienced in the Northwest Its trail of desolation and death IS visible from me^count^m^M^ovrt^oomd?& e ’lbe storm serais to have consisted of a series of funnel-shaped clwids, that burst out here and there, darting to the earth, pulverising farmSt tog up into the heavens, only to pounce down again at some other point and resume their horrible work of destruction. Thus this frightful phalanx of funnels pursued their course, bobbing up and then down strain, for a course of 300 miles until the waters of Lake Michigan arrested them in their wild career. The loss of life inflicted by the awful visitation numbers at least seventy, while hundreds of unfortunates have been more or less severely injured, many of them, It is feared, beyond the hope of recovery. The vagaries vund eccentricities of the cyclone defy enume r atlon. Preserving one gone) a 1 couisa itom northwest to southeast, it wobbled and twisted in every conceivable way. It was no respecter of persons or property, Everything in its path was hurled violently to the earth or carried away. Massive oak and stalwart hickory trees were as pipe-stems before the terrible blavt: and as for telegraph poles and fence-rails, the windy monster played with them as H they had been lueifer matohes. Not satisfied with raining home 3, it scattered their content* upon every hand In one instance a tea-poj was landed in the boughs of a tree, where it was caught and held At another place, piece t of a lady s necklace were found in a hedge fence, under careened stoves, and in various out-of-the-way placea All of the wearing apparel of one family was tom to shreds, so that it could not be worn. One bran's vest was blown several miles away, and a roll of money was blown out of one Jot toe pockets and torn into smifil bits. In qne case a farm was swepl; dead of cornstalks, which were imbeded to ahedge on the opposite side of the field T£e cyclone took off the porch and chimney of a man’s house, nothing else being injured A piano was lifted np, carried half n mile, and dumped into tbe cellar of a house that had been blown away. Many miraculous escapes are reported In Sangamon county. Hi, a farm laborer was prostrated on the ground by tbe wind ju*t as a house passed over him, sailing in toe air like a balloon. Had he been standing np he would have been killed In the same vicinity a whole family was burled beneath the ruins of their dwelling, and all escaped injury. A man was blown out of bis house and landed to his orchard, several rods away. The house was wrecked One man’s house sailed away to toe air, and at last accounts he had not heard of it, although he had searched far and wide for his property. Peter Shaver, of Brown county, Ili, opened his door to see the makeup of the storm, when the house was taken and shaken to atoms. He found •Mmup.if to the top of a cotton-wood tree, and his wife and babies were all scattered about and insensible. Luckily they all came to, scratched and braised, but with no bones broken. . , Those who describe this terrible stormking, tell of a sudden huto of the descent of a black cloud with a heat fiery and white; of a glare of lightning and a roar of unchained elements. The rumble of the approaching storm was like the thunder of tonumberable wheela The next instant it was over, leaving in its track ruined homesteads and green fields, blasted as if by fire. One man describes it as consisting of three clouds of smoke and fire, rushing along through the air with the smaller end of the funnel near the earth. The storm seems to have had its birth west of the Mississippi and just north of the Missouri river. It first made itself felt to Montgomery county, Mo., where it blew down a good many houses, killed four or five people, and maimed a dozen or so more. It thence crossed the Mississippi river into Madison county, IIL, passing four miles south of Alton. Houses, trees, fences and everything to its path were razed to the ground or carried into toe air.' Eleven people were killed and upward of twenty wounded in Madison county. In Jersey county a number of dwellings were demolished, three people killed and several severely injured, in Montgomery county a great many buildings were borne down by the fierce blast, and several fatalities occurred. At Woodboro a church and a school-house were blown down At a farm-house near there, saw-logs two feet in diameter were picked up and carried away like feather a In Macoupin county the cyclone tore several farm-houses to pieces. George Baker’s house, near Brushy Mound, was blown to atoms, and hlB wife and three children killed. They were blown into a tree and found dead. Two other children were badly injured. Eleven persons were in one house that was demolished, and, strange to say, only one was killed Green county suffered severely. Farm houses, barns, fences and fruit trees were leveled to the ground Three people were killed and about a dozen badly hurt. A number of farm-houses were wholly or partially wredked in Christian county, and several persons injured, though no fatalities are reported It was to Morgan county, however, that the hurricane was more sev; rely felt, both to regard to loss of life and* damage to property, than at any other point in Illinois. Two funnel-shaped cyclones passed almost sim- ! pitaneoualy within a few miles of Jackson- ! voile, one north and one south of the town, | and both traveled from a southwesterly to a | northeasterly direction. One of the funnels struck the village of Liter burg, containing about 300 inhabitants, and wrecked nearly every building to the town. Seven people were killed and about thirty injured, some of them so badly that they will hardly reoover. A good many farmhouses in the vicinity were wrecked and several persons wounded. The other funnel swept over a section known as Greasy Prattle, and did nearly as much damage as the first Fourteen farm-houses were demolished, six people killed and a large number injured, in Mason county several farmhouses were blown down, two persons killed and others injured. Hail fell in great chunks that killed live stock. The hurricane was very damaging in Brown county.' Dwellings and barns without number went down, and many people were injured, a few of whom will probably not recover. De Witt comity also suffered severely. About fifty farm-nouse3 were wrecked in the county, five people were killed ’and about twenty injured, some of them very severely. Macon county was likewise ase vere sufferer by the terrible visitant Farmhouses, bayns, fences and trees were swept away like feathers. Four people were Killed and more than a dozen crippled. In Logan county several farm dwellings and outhouses were torn to pieces, three Eeople killed cud quite a number injured. a Menard county about a dozen dwellings were wrecked and a child was killed. In Sangamon county a great number of houses were blown down, three lives were lost, and several persons received injuries more or less severe. In Sullivan and Champaign counties the tornado did considerable damage to property, but no Jives were lost In Livingston county one woman was killed, four or five persons were injured, and much damage to property wasinflieted. Thecyclone seems to have paused here in its terrible work, and is non heard of again until McHenry and Boone counties, in the extreme northern part of Illinois, are reached. Here it bobbed down to the earth again, and resumed its fantastic tricks with increased fury. In Boone county several houses were swept down, two men were killed, and considerable live stock was lo t In McHenry county tbe damage was still greater. Between thirty and forty farm-houses were blown down, five people were killed and a great many wounded, and the damage to farm property was immense, fences, orchards and live stock forming the principal losses. This completes toe work of destruction by the funnel-shaped demon in Illinois. From McHenry county it jumped over the State line, and is next heard cf at Bloomfield, Wia. whefe it bluy down several houses and killed one man. Thence it passed between Geneva Junction and Geneva Lake, doing little damage, however. Its next work was in tl#s vicinity Of Union Grove, where it demob shed churches, school-houses, dwellings and barns, killed four persons and wounded seven or eight. In this region at least four separate and entirely distinct funnels were seen within a radius of three or four miles. They seemed to unite, and thus strengthened! the storm demon shooed its course for the ill-fated city of RacSfie. where it resumed its terrible work of d<Sath and devastation. TKe first reports oififche tornado’s work at Racine exaggerated the casualties, but the damage to property was greater than the first accounts to cheated Only eight people were killed outfight, but the injured number ninety-nine. Many of these ore horribly maimed and some of them will never recover, while others will be cripples for life. About thirty cf the injured were sent to toe hospital for treatment The others were cared for in private houses. About 250 people were made homeless by the cyclone at Racine Prompt action was token by the local authorities to relieve the sufferings of the homeless. From Raoine the demon of destruction Sed into Lake Michigan, where it became pated and lost its power for further hWto before reaching toe eastern shop#,

A CANNONEER’S RIDE.

n ° at nr« at Huuusm. [Capt. Owen, to toe Philadelphia Times, s The most conspicuous act of reoklees courage I ever saw displayed on any battlefield during our great civil war oooanri •* «» assas on the 80th oi *.2£P«t» 18 .f; Was performed by a Federal anuiv^i st in the presence of both armies fli?d was witnessed bv at least a thousand men, many of "whom are still living and can readily recall the incident when reminded of the circumstances. Just as Hood’s men, charged down the hill near the Henry House upon the first Federal line, and it became evident he would capture fee battery stationed there, a Federal artilleryman determined to save one of the cannon, if possible, ana to do so he had to take it up fee side of the ditch in front of the Confederates for half a mile. The ditch was four feet wide and as many deep, and could xjot be crossed with fee cannon. How he got his horses hitched or whether they had really ever been taken from the piece I never have known, but fee first I saw of him he was coming up our front in a sweeping gallop from the cloud of smoke ana Hood’s men were firing at him. As soon as he escaped from the volley he came in front of our brigade and under range of our muskets on the left, and as he swept on up the line a file fire was opened upon him. Our line was approaching the ditch rapidly *at a double quick and the lane between us and the ditch was getting narrower each second, but the artilleryman seemed determined to save Ms gun from capture, and he flew along Mb course at a tremendous rate of speed. He had four large gray or. white horses to the cannon and they came up the valley in splendid style. The man sat erect and kept his team well in hand, while his whip seemed to play upon the flanks of the leaders and all four horses appeared to leap together in regular time. The ground was very dry and a cloud of dust rolled out from under the horses’ feet and from the wheels of the cannon as they came thundering along. Three regiments of our brigade had already fired at him as he rushed along their front and as he approached the left of another I ran down the rear rank shouting to the men: “Shoot at the horses! Let the man alone and shoot at the horses H You are firing too Mgh!” At this I Saw a noted marksman in Company F drop upon one knee and sight alQng thebarrel of his musket and fire, but on came the man and the gallop of his team Was unbroken. Hamming in another cartridge the marksman was ready again in a minute, and just as the cannoneer swept across his front within a huudred yards he kneeled down and, taking deliberate aim at the foremost horse, fired again, bnt on went I the team unharmed as before. Thus he passed along the whole front of our regiment and then along another on our right and escaped around the head of the ditch and across the field and up the hill beyond. As far off as we could see him his team was still going in a gallop, but when out of range on the hill beyond the ditch he turned in his saddle and, taking off his hat, waved it around his head several times and some of the Confederates cheered him.

There, can be no doubt that the original home of the horse is not Europe, but Central Asia; for, since the horse in its natural state depends upon grass for its nourishment and fleetness for its weapon, it could not in the beginning have thriven and multiplied in the thick forest-grown territory of Europe, much rather should its place of propagation be sought in those steppes where it still roams about in a wild state. Here, too, arose the first nations of riders of which we have historic knowledge, the Mongolians and the Turks, whose existence even at this day is as it were combined with that of the horse. From these regions the horse spread in all directions, especially into the steppes of Southern and Southeastern Russia and Thrace, until it finally found entrance into other parts of Europe, but not until after the immigration of the people. This assumption is, at least, strongly favored by the fact that the further a district of Europe is from these Asiatic srteppes, L e., from the home of the horse, the later does the tamed horse seem to have made its historic appearance. The supposition is further confirmed by the fact that horse-raising among almost every tribe appears as an art derived from neighboring tribes in the East and Northeast. Even in Homer the ox appears exclusively as the draft animal in land operation at home and in the field, while the horse was used for purposes of war only. Its employment in military operations was determined by swiftness alone. That the value of the horse must originally have depended on its fleetness, can easily be inferred from the name, which is repeated in all the branches of the Indo-European language, and signifies nearly “hastening,” “quick.” The same fact is exemplified by the descriptions of the oldest poets, who next to its courage, speak most of its swiftness.— Popular Science Monthly.

An Eccentric Character.

Frederick M. Shaw went to Southern California ten years ago to establish a vegetable diet colony. The enterprise was a failure, and Shaw, retiring to the mountains, made a house in a tree top. He dressed in a flannel shirt and trousers and lived upon fruits and nnts. A series of letters on the creation of the human species and the best methods of securing health gave him the reputation as half philosopher, half crank. His fame even deeply interested a New Jersey schoolmistress named Margaret Garey Wright. Their correspondence ended in a marriage by telegraph on June 4, 1879. A dispatch was sent to Shaw by the clergyman at Newark, N. J., saying:. “Will you take Margaret Garey Wright, of this city, to be your wedded wife?” To this Shaw responded “I will,” and two witnesses being at each end of the line, the marriage was accomplished. The bride was very slow about joining her husband, but, after he had given up all hope of seeing her, she appeared and was taken ont to the mountain retreat by a friend who went in advance to find the bridegroom only in a shirt and cap, gathering honey. He was prevailed upon to don a pair of trousers to meet his bride. The couple set up housekeeping in a shanty built under his favorite tree. To the bridegroom’s walnuts and honey was added a box of raisins from the friend. In this fashion the couple lived for two years, when the woman grew weary and took up her residence in town. Shaw grew more eccentric, and some of his utterances in the presence of a neighbor who had worried him, led to the charge that he was insane. He was examined Mid released.

Killing Wolves With Whalebone.

■Lieut. Schwatka says that “one nae of the -whalebone to which the Esquimaux put it, mid one case which came under my personal observation, I must not allow to pass unnoticed. Wheiever wolves have been unusually predatory, have destroyed a favorite dog or so, or dug up a cache of reindeer meat just when it was needed, pr in any way have

aroused the ire of fed Ifinuit hunter, he takes a strip of whalebone about the size of those used in oorsets, wraps it np into compact helical mass like a watch spring, having previously sharpened both ends, then ties it together with reindeer sinew, and plasters it with a compound of blood and grease, wMch is allowed to freeze, and forms a binding cement sufficiently strong to hold the sinew string at every second or third ttflPBA This, wife a lot of simf-lar-looking bait* of 'meatblubber, is scattered- over fee snow or groflUa, and the hungry wc*f devours it along with the others, anil when it is thawedout by fee warmth ol his stomach, it elongates and has the hell-known effect of whalebone on the system, but, having the military advantage of interior lines, its effects are more killing fed poOr WOlf, with the mosV horrible agonies, iff a eouple of days."

The Overcoat Battle.

Talk about the progress of chilization! Boast of the advantages we .enjoy in this last quarter of the nineteenth century! A moment’s comparison of the gyrations of body and contortions of countenance feat are necessary to get the average man inside his overcoat with the ease with which one of our savage ancestors wrapped a blanket about him will convince any one that all this boasting and babbling about fee wonderful things we have done are meaningless chatter. The first stage of fee proceeding, in whioh he gets one sleeve of the overcoat outside one arm, is accomplished without serious difficulty. It is when he attempts to put on the other sleeve and the button on his coat sleeve catohes on an unsuspected rent in the lining of his overcoat that his troubles and the fears of those within armrange begin. A wild wave of the right arm, a hunching of the left shoulder and a vigorous contortion of the right side of fee faoe conduct him usually past this ordeal. If it is near spring and the lining of that sleeve has come to be no longer a striking example of harmony and unity, there are still worse dangers before him. Something usually catches when his arm is half way through, and the spectacle feat the noblest work of God, the last and finest fruition of the creative power, then presents is caloulated to fill the heart of the red man and the savage with calm superiority, and make him thankful that he has refused to Accept civilization only as it is thrust upon him from the point of the bayonet. The unfortunate victim of the progress of civilization and society’s boasted advancements and improvements cranes his head forward, waves both arms, works first one shoulder and then the other in the vain endeavor to get down the superfluous amount of overcoat that insists on lying in a snug little roll across the back of his neck; finally, by dint of elevating first the sight and then the left side of his mustache to near proximity with his eyebrows, the feat is accomplished and his arm slides down the sleeve.

Then he almost dislocates his arms and his shoulders bump his ears in his herculean efforts to pull down his undercoat, which in the struggle has climbed to his shoulders and is lying securely under his overcoat collar. This part of the proceedings, however, is conducted wi hout serious danger or inconvenience to any one else, other than the necessity of beholding facial contortions more wonderful than any that marked previous stages of progress. Such is the progress of putting on an overcoat. Is it any wonder that Chief Joseph and the NezPerces, that Sitting Bull and his people have resisted to the death all attempts to make civilized Indians of them; to put them into a state where they would have to exchange the easy and dignified blaidfet for this emblem of torture ana civilization? — Boston Globe.

Freaks of Forgetfuiness.

Of all the ills to which flesh is heir, forgetfulness is the one that furnishes the greatest number of laughable episodes; and, while many of them are very annoying, the mirthful feature that is their almost invariable companion affords a certain degree of compensation. Near one of our Atlantic seaports there resides an old whaling Captain commonly known as Uncle Gurdon. To keep from getting rusty, he made his home on the river bank, where he could keep a boat, and fish or paddle about as he liked. The place was about five miles from the city, and, as- occasion required, Uncle Gurdon and his wife would journey townward for the purr pose of shopping. Reaching the city, the horse and wagon would be left at the water-trough on the Paiade, and each would go in different directions, carrying their bundles to this common receptacle, the first through waiting for the other. On one of these shopping excursions Uncle Gurdon made several trips to the wagon, finding each time that additions had been made, to the store of bundles—a sign that his wife was busy. Having completed his purchases, he unhitched his horse, and, the ferryboat having arrived, climbed into the wagen and drove on board. While crossing the river one of his acquaintances stepped up and asked how he was getting on. “Well, I’m getting on nicely, but Pm bothered just now. ” “Why, is anything going wrong?” “No, nothing special; but I came down to do some shopping, and I’ve forgotten a parcel I was to get,” and the old gentleman scratched his head in a perplexed manner. “Well, I wouldn’t worry. You will think of it next time,” said the neighbor; and the boat having reached the landing, Uncle Gurdon drove ashore, and went on toward home. When nearly half way there he was met by another friend, who stopped to have a chat. “How do you do to-day, Uncle' Curdon ?” he asked. “Oh, nicely, nicely; though Fm a bit worried just now.” “Worried?what about?”

“Well, yon see, I’ve been to town shopping, and there’s a parcel of some kind that I’ve forgotten. I can’t think what it is, and it bothers me. ” “Oh, never mind it. You will recollect what it is before you go again. By the way, Uncle Gurdon, how is your wife?” “Jerusalem!” said Uncle Gurdon, slapping/ his knee with great energy. “It’s my wife that I’ve forgotten 1 She went to town with me to do some shopping, and I was to wait for her.” And Uncle Gurdon turned around, and went back to the feriy for the parcel that he had left behind.— Editor’s Drawer, in Harper’s Magazine.

Not an Insult.

“Father,” said the young man as he entered the house in a flurried moaner, "I have'been called a dude!” “No!” “Yes, I have, and it is an insult that must be wiped out in blood!” “Bosh! Bosh! The party was simply mistaken. He probably meant to call you an idiot!” Much distress and sickness attributed to bylSumor in the stomach. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the remedy.
