New York, Uct. 16.--The storm that swept down Hus city oun Thursday, Uctober ith, 193, has had no coun- terpart in the presént generation and will be remembered' with horror as jong as the present geseration remains | got lo be a heavy burden all on ac alive, It was entirely different from any other tornado, storm or tempest within my memory. here was a wild shriek in the reswiless wind as it dashed along in ite mad fury, leaving nothing but one broad swath of ruin and in its wake, Wednesday night, when we hoped the tempest would abate ite destroying force, it increased to what seemed like the fierce typhoon that ope meets at mid- winter on the dread indian sea, that which was heavy rain on Wednesday night was on Thursday a destructive power which no human being could stop, or silence. It was not long till the people high and low, rich and poor, were compelled to realize how dependent we are on the ouside world for that which should be the first prayer to send to the Throne of Grace, "(jive us this day our daily . I've no doubt but that Col. Wood- betry, who is the commissioner of the street t, rejoiced in his intnost beart at what Providence bad done for him in leaving the city in better condition than it had been before in many a day. To betier un- derstand the efiect of the storm in New York city, we will take a short view of our markets. When we arose on Thursday morning, we found that the baker, who is as faithful as the sun, had not and the milkman, our faithful servant for many a day, was not heard from; in due time the butcher came, but he had no meat. railroad trains were things of the past and ently, there was no dai bread our population, to God for, It was a general day of fast- ing, but I regret to add it was heavy with curses instead of prayers. Hum- an nature is pros mush the same in every portion of globe and there is one fact that tells the whole story i is "A very public affairs of which no present in- vestigation can give a reasonable fore- cast.

One of the ratifying evidences of his work, is ound in the lessening of our taxation. {1 have a very vivid remembrance of how my taxes stood in the past and | you must remember, my dear friends, that facts are stubborn things. In 1887 the taxes on my home amounted to $125. I am informed, by a gentle man who has derived his knowledge from a reliable source that my taxes j will now be $75, instead of $126 as they were years ago. This is a gratifying result and commends itself { to the attention of every citizen, who | has & voice in the coming election. | Just think of how many comforts to a | family this $50 would bring if used { there stead of going into the pockets ofgamblers and political thieves. The ! reformers seem to on the right track and their hope of success in the Sowiy election is based on the fact | that Tammany Hall is going to open a new heasiquarters in the borough of | Brooklyn, vomple! ignoring the primacy of Hugh McLaughlin, whose political challenge has not been ques: tioned during a period of forty years. During the absolute wer of Mr. Croker in Tammany Hall he never dared to cross the river to Brooklyn, or to raise a pole on which was a liberty cap to which every loyal democrat was expected to bow. Bat Boss Hugh McLaughlin is made of that st rn stufl which bows to no wat's cap. He bows in submission to God alone and allows no man to ques- tion his democratic faith. I hardly think the news is true, that Mr, M is to invade Brooklyn; but if it is, look out for squalls. I saw in a newspaper the other day, peoples' money, and after the pleasure of spend iw large space in the public eye. them is wealth grows so fast his | Chase's Ointment, and 'to my surprise very much that way, to make an unme- jon for the building of be and a large number of ocean fighters of different degrees, sO that when the time for war is actual- or 8 ; been st the admonition of the im- mortal Washington 'In time of peace for war."

Rockefeller is the name ofthe richest a GR. Grace is the name of ther. Mr. Rockefeller's that you can hardly count it. Life with him has count of his riches. William R. Grace finds no difficulty in disposing of his fortune comfortably, yet he does more good with his limited fortune than John D. Rockefeller does with his hun dred millions. Mr. Rockefeller eases hi. mind by building and founding libraries. Mr. Grace devotes his time to learning, too, but his learning is different from that of Mr. Rockefel lr's. He has founded a college, in the State of Pennsylvania, where great encouragement is given to those things which contribute to the comfort and heppiness of mankind. It is a college for women exclusively, it teaches how to make home look like what a home ought to be. For five cents a day, a girl can be taught the science of cook ing appetizing dishes out of materials which in many houses are wasted or destroyed. It teaches a woman how to make her dresses, and in short it teaches them by degrees in every pos sible way how to get the highest de ree of comfort at the lowest cost. fe is a college worthy of a good man's attention and this good work Mr. Grace conducts at his own ex- pense. For three years this college has been in successful existence. No sooner does a girl eoaiye her diploma than there are dozens bf families waiting for the scholar from that college, for, they know that their homes will be properly taken care of Type-writing and short-hand are taught in this col- lege. Its graduates are treated with the greatest respect by families that can avail themselves of their services." This college encourages independence, honesty and good feeling between the employer and the employed. 1 hear their names spoken of with a "God speed." 1 wish there were a thousand more such colleges in the United States. Think of it, Andrew Carnegie! Reflect upon it, John D. Rockefeller ! Throw a few of your loose millions into a college for cooks ! Get rid of your dyspepsia, and live long enough to see the bright sunlight giving warmth and light to a grateful world. Do this John. Tiy it, Andrew, and the bread you may have cast upon the troubled waters may return after many days. ~BROADBRIM. The first camp meeting held in Breathitt county, Kentucky, proved a howling success.

After Three Years Of Terrible Suf- fering Little Mary Miller Was Permanently Cured By Dr. Chase's Ointment, Many of the cures brought about by Dr. Chase's Ointment are so much like miracles that people can scarcely be- lieve them. When Baby Millar became a victim of eczema her parents did ev- erything that could be e to get her cured. Three doctors tried all the means in their power, but without success, and then all sorte of reme- dies were used, with the vain hope that something would bring reliel from the disease that seemed to be burning up the living flesh. It was not until Dr. Chase's Oint- ment was used that relief and cure came. This is certified too by a prom- inent 'Sunday school superintendent of St. Catharines. Mrs. William Millar, St. Catharines, Ont., writes: "My daughter, Mary, when six months old contracted ecze- ma and for three years this disease all treatment. Hér case was one of the worst that ever came to my notice, and she sufiered what mo pen can ever describe.

This distinguished Canadian is perhaps the greatest living authority on the subject, and is himself one of the ablest and most success- ful men Canada has produced. This single instance will give an Idea of the great general value of the whole Work. As this is the first encyclopedia of Canada ever undertaken the publishers have been able to enlist the co-operation of the every best and brainiest men in the Dominion,--men who have themselves been making their country's history during the past generation. This was the only way in which a truly valuable and comprehensive work of the kind could be produced.
