This makes the disaster com­ plete and the Mississippi Valley one Viist inland sea. This will make tho loss beyond calcula- culation, to say nothing of the loos of life and suffering of the people. Congress must come to cur relief and feed the people at once. The lofts of our gin-houses and floating rafts will be the only place of abode.

They have, acting as if the lands were legally theirs, warned off in­ tending settlers on pain of death and with opprobrious epithets. They have cut down valuable timber on the public lands and used it for fencing other portions, and l'or houses and sheds for their cattle. The cattle- raisers are mostly wealthy capitalists, and they warn persons who wish to settle on the lands that they will be frozen out, not given employment, and otherwise boycotted. HON. DATID J.

MINISTER SARGENT'S transfer from Berlin to St Petersburg, for which tbo pre­ liminaries have been completed, will take the country by surprise.

The delegates from that State to the Chicago June Convention, It is thought, will make this manifest. THE Boston Post addressed circulars of inquiry some time ago to the Democratic members of tbe Legislature of the New England States as to their Presidential pref­ erences and views on the tariff. The replies indicate that Tilden is the overwhelming choice of the New England Dem­ ocrats, and that they lavor a tariff for revenue only. The feeling In favor of the Morrison birf is all but unanimous.... At the Republican primaries at Youngstown, Ohio. voters deposited ballots in special boxes for recording their Presidential choice. Of this numter Blaine got. ],ftie; Lincoln came next with 33; while Conkling secured one vote It is believed that the delegates from Northeastern Penn^j Ivan a to the Re­ publican National Convention will be solid for Blaine. A CHICAGO Tribune correspondent at MlEsouri Valley, Iowa, claims to have care fully Interviewed every Bepublloan within reach as to his Presidential choice, tbe total number interviewed being310. The result is: lllaine, 197; Logan, 62; Arthur, 41; Ed­ munds, 10.. The Democrats almost unani­ mously favor Tilden, and seem to think that with him success is unquestionable. McDon­ ald and Payne are second and third choice.

They Want Tilden and a Revenue Tariff. [Boston Dispatch.] The Boston Post prints several columns of letters from Democratic members of theXegu i6lacures of Maine, New Hampshire, Ver­ mont, Massachusetts, and Conneoticut, in which the writers give their preferences for a Presidential cand date. Tilden loads in each Sta e save Massachusetts where be and But­ ler are about even. The Greenback members of the Maine Legislature favor T Iden as first choice. On the tariff question the majority aro tor tariff for revenue on'y, and tbe over­ whelming ina'ority favor the Morrison bill and a gradual reduction of tariff taxation. Of the members who declare unequivocally for a cont nuance of the present taritf two are New Hampshire men. three Connecticut, and one Massachusetts. Two New Hampshire manufacturers favor an imroMiate reduction, and one favors the tarif as at present. ILLINOIS. Tlie State Polled by Counties. (From the Chicago Inter Ocean.] Not long-ago a Chicago gentloman had 00- casion to write to every County Clerk In Illinois upon a matter of business. After writing perhaps half a dozen letters It oc­ curred to him that he would ask what the political outicok was, and thus, without hardly any trouble, get an idea of the^itua- tion. TTie Inter Ocean has been fa­ vored with the prlvile-go cf perusing the answers, and would be glad to publish them, only to many of tke wriiers ask that their letters may Le r garded as confidential tbat we are not allowed to do so. An idea of their contents, however. In the aggregate can be given without tbe v.olation of confi­ dence. Neither party seems to be afFlcted with any latent elements cf discord. Not a single letter expresses any fear of trouble on the temperance quest on, or any other side issue. Lo al and personal quart els are referred to. If at all, as not likely to stand in the way Qf suoocss. In regard to candidates tho Democrats seem to be of one mind. Not a single county is reported to be in favor of any other than the old ttaAet, with Harrison f or Governor,^ exoept tfcaBfSt. Clair favors Morrison if bd^l has any show.' It is tbe old ticket first, last, and all the time. Let.er after letter speaks in the mc6t positive way as regards Dcmo- crat'c preference. One would say that Har­ ris n would to nominated by aoclamation and a delegation solid for the o'd ticket Bent to Chicago without the slightest doubt. No such unanimity is expressed in regard to Republican nominees. As for Governor, a good word Is spoken for both Oglesby and Hamilton, no Republican betraying the sl:f>ht«-t ill-feeling toward either. As for President, the names mcst favorably men­ tioned are Logan, Arthur, Blaine, Edmunds, and Lincoln, the latter very frequently for Viee President. GRANT. In Favor of John A.

A KANSAS LYNCHING. Samuel Fryer; the Murderer of John Pen- nlnpton and Wife, Hanged at Muryaville by a Mob. [Marvsvllle (Kan.) Dispatch.] Intense excitement has prevailed here for some days ovor the trial of Samuel Fryer for the murder of the Pennington family, whloh has been in progress here. Thursday even­ ing thc Jury returned a vcrdiot of "Guilty," and the prisoner was takeu back to jalL It being oxpocted tbat trouble would ensue, stronsr guard was placed around the Jail, which is a flimsy concern. Last nl^ht twenty-ilvo or thirty maskid men rode up to the jail, took Fryor out, and, going to Spring Creek, a small stream half a mi'.e from town, threw a rope over tho boom of the bridge, and ho was swung off into eternity. Wi.en the rope was placed around his neck, ho was a«kod if he had any- th:og to say. He said, "Yes," and proceeded to g.vc a full, detailed account of thc awful and cold-blooded rr.tirderof John i onnington end his wife, which he committed about the middle of lebri.ary near Frankfort, Kan. It will be remembered that the victims wero found dead in their barn ce/erai diys after tbe murder. They had been robbed, and Mrs. Pennington had been assaulted in a most bru al manner and afterward killed by tbe inhuman brute, who paid tbe penalty of bis crime last n'ght at tbe hands of a mob. The proceedings of fh« caucus of Hid Democratic members of the House, called for tho purpose of outlining some action upon the tariff question, are thus reported by the Associated Pross at Washington: Throughout most of the session, whloh lasted from 8 p. m. till midnight, tho attendance was very large, there being only ten members absent, and thoy on account of slcbncss or absence from the city. Carlisle moved that the rules of the present Congress be adopted as the rules of the cauojs, except that the debate bo carr.ed on under five-mluute limitation for speeches. This was agreed to. It was a:so decided, before tho business, of the evening was entered upon, that a future caucus should be cal ed upon the written request of twenty members. Mr. Morr.Bon then s atoJ thcob eotof theoaucus. Ho said it was for the purpose of com ng to an understanding, if possible, on taiitf legis­ lation. '1 bo i en.ocruUc members of t.10 Ways and A. oans Committee, who believod in a reduction of the war taritf, had presented a meas.ire on which thsy doJrcd to have an expression of opinion of tbe Liemocratic members of the'Hou?e. It has been an­ nounced in the press, he ta'd, that those who were not successful in controlling tho organ­ ization of the House of Repieseotatives would oppo.o any measure for reduo ng1 war taxes or tho discuss.on of such a meas­ ure by this Congress. I10 stated that tbo war taxes derived from Internal revenue, wh.eh at ono time j lelded the Government $..0u,- 000,0u0 a year, had teen from t me to time reduced until on y the revenue on tobacoo, mait liquo ft, and distilled spirits remain d. He said be did not believe in any further re­ duction or the interna! revenue as a matter of principle, but as a Be.uoorat desiring har­ mony in the party, and for the sake of harmonizing convicting views, be would a^ree to repeal the tobacoo tix and to reduoe the tax on brand/ d stil od lrom fruits, pro­ vided s oh action could be had in eonnojtion with tho lcduction of customs duties. For the purpose of testing the Benae of the cau­ cus, Mr. Morrison Bald be would offer a res­ olution which be did, fn effect providing that the Ways and Means Committee bill should be taken np, and that after reasonable time for discussion "a bill ' should be passed. Mr. Hopnins otlercd in amendment to the effect that the oatious should not be binding upon it.dividual members. A long d scusalon followed tbe oneringof the resolution, which was participated in by Messrs. Morrison, Eaton, Converse, Blackburn, bandall, Hop­ kins, King, Morse. Cabell, Eeag.m, Roso- crans, Tully, O'Neill, of Missouri, MoAdoo, Wilson of West Virginia, Wa ren. Dorsheim- er, Hutchins, liobiiUeH, Holmau, Nlohols, Hardeman, Beach, tpr gga, Adams of New York, and Bland. Mr. Randall briefy counseled moderation and conciliation, and suggested an unexctted conlerenoe, with a view to agreeing upon some bill lor which all Democratic members could vote--a bill that would provide for a moderate reduction of curtoms duties and at tbe same time of a partial reduction of the internal-revenue taxation. As to making the tariff bill a subject of caucus action in the sensf of controlling a membsr's vote, ho said it was contrary to 1'cmocratic principles, and contrary to the pr ncip'es of representative government to attempit to bind any one on a gieat eoonomic question, and thus s:>ck to compel a representative to vote agnlnst tho known opinions and interests of his constitu­ ents. Mr. Carlisle said he was desirous of having the oaucus come to some agreement, if possi­ ble, on tbe reduction of the taiitf. in order to do so un 1 secure such reluoUon, he would agree to repeal the tobaoco ta« and all licenses connected w.th tbe same, and to a rcduotion on brandy distilled from fruits to 10 cents p r gallon. Messrs. Ueagan and Ho mam urged harmony, and opposed all eiforts to bind mem­ bers of the party by the action of tho caucus. Both/dec!arcd that the action of tho caucus shofrld be regarded as merely persuasive. Several members announced emphatically that they w ere opposed to the Morrison bill, but the predominating sentiment was largely in favor of ooneiderlng the bill and agreeing to a measure tbat would receive the sanction of the House. Resides Mr. Randall, Metsrs. Tully and Eaton opposed tbo measure. Mr. King offered a resolution to tho e.teot tbat a committee consisting of seven members of t'ie House and six Senators be appointed to consider and report at a future cau­ cus, on tbe ponding proposition. The resolution was voted down. Mr. Morrison moved that tbe Hopkins amendment be' modified so as to provide that the action of tbe caucus should not be b nding upon individuals except to such an extent as each memt.er might feel influenced by the wishes of the ma'orlty of his associates. This amendment was adopted. Ho then called the previous question upon Mr. Hopkins' amendment as modified, which was carried-- 114 to 67. 'I he resolution was then adopted by a yea and nay vote--114 to 57. Tbo follow­ ing is the resolution as amended and adopted: Jicoived, That the bill commonly known as the Morri-on »3r<ff bill shall be taken up for consideration at tbe earliest practicable day, and reasouable time lor detatc allowed thereon, and after such debate tbat a bill be passed for a re­ daction of dntkf* and war tariff taxes. That the adoption of this test Intion shall cot be con­ sidered binding in controlling the individual action ot Demo r&t°, except to tbe extent that each memWr may feel tn&t he ought to be in­ fluenced by the expressed opinion of the ma­ jority of his associates. Mr. Carlisle then offered tho following res- olut.on, which was adopted--88 to 57: Rexttlrerl, That, In ( rd*.T to reconcile conflict­ ing opinions and sccure legislation reducing taxation, a plan fir tho rednc.ictiof taxes ai the present sef-sion of Congress shall emb aoo a provision repealing all inte. nal revenue taxes on tobaoco, snuff, and cigars, and special taxes connected therewith; and also reducing the tax on brandy distilled from fruit to 10 cents per gallon: l*rovitl'd, sivh repeal and resolution shall not be made except in connection with a reduction of tariff duties. Tbo large vole against considering the Morrison tariff bl.l was the subject of much comn.ent after the adjournment of the cau­ cus. Opponents of tho bill assert unhesitat­ ingly th it tbe fifty-seven Demoi ra;ic votes cost against the cauc is leso'ution, together witb nearly every solid Republican \ ote In tbe H< usf, will certainly d« eat the bill when* ever it comes up for action.

A few weeks a o a dashing widow arrived In the village and opined a milliner) storo. which soon became the headquarters of a number of mar. cd men of the town. This was dl^ covered by their wives, who, on questioning the husbands and reoeiving no satisfactory explanation of tbo amount of millinery busl> uess they had on hand, coneludod something was wrong, and. after consultation among themselves, apiioin'ed a cemmittec of twelve to put a step to iurtber proceedings.

A HWff «eetl<m of the rich Btue Grkss re­ gion of Kentucky was recently visited by a groat calamity in the shape of a cyclone, which destroyed tome half a dozen villages, killed about twenty people, and inflicted In­ calculable damage to tarm property. During the afternoon the oppress! e at mosphere and gathering clouds ga e evidence of an ap­ proach ng storm, and a llijbt rain began to fall. This gave way to hail, which poured down like bhot, accompanied by high winds. Tho latter increase! In fury until it formed a oyolctne, which struck C'olemansville full on the southwestern side, and in a few mo­ ments had almost obliterated the town from existence. Tho inhabitants rushed fran- ti ally from their houses, which tottered and fell. Larjre trees, torn from their roots, were violently thro%vn against dwellings, carrying them along. Bntire buildings wo e carried away, leaving not a vestige behind except the foundation. Cther bul dings were car­ ried a distance of from one hundred, yards to a half miie distant, scattering debris of .legs, stones and trees as so much dust. Every on© either ran into the street or sought reluge In cellars, and many were in a red by falling timbers, which dropped around In all directions. In the midst of the storm a Mro. A. H. Lail rushed out of tho house with her infant, threo weeks old. The storm tore the child from her arms, while sho wa-* blown across the street against a neighbor's house, t-he was picked up insensib e and badly injured, and tbe baby was found dead 200 yardi distant. Ssven or eight people were killed atColemansville, and many wero badly wounded. No one in the village escaped Injury. Reaching Mount Kebo, it destroyed every house and occasioned a gr< at loss of life and property. Stock of all kinds was seen flying through the air. Still onward bound, the storm with greater foroe next struck Conroy. tearingdownevery building. This place suffered greatly. Going thence to Antioch, it is now impossible to as­ certain whether a townever stood there or not. Hut little idea of the havo3 occasioned by the tornado can bo conveyed In a word pio- ture. Some few incidents may, however, serve to conVey to the reader an impression 01 the power of tho storm. Trees we e torn from the spots where they had grown to large prop rtlons from little shr jbs, carried a dis­ tance of five miles, and then again a;opped to ihe earth, cenuded of their bark and stripped of their l.mt.s. Two boys, who were fishing in the Linking River, took refuge at tbe mouth of a railway tunnel, and were blown through it to its other opening, a dis­ tance of 30J yards. A fcgro discovered his crunk hi a tree top several hundred yards distant. Babes were blown from their mothers' arms aud killed. Those who wont to their work in tbe morning have not yet returned to their fainllios. Two children supposed to have been lost were next morning found in a cellar and rescued. Bod es of dead persons were found strewn along the roads lmmen<« numbers of oat- tfe and other stock were also slaughtered. At one place a man Hying through the air was seen, but be can not now bo found. A churoh was lifted from sight and has not yet been beard of. The organ was found about five miles distant. Rocks weighing three tons were borne quite a distance, and the ground was much torn up. Vast quantities of water were blown from tho river. A man Bought refuge behind a freight oar; flying debris was seen to enc mpass h m, and ho can not now be founl. The chimneys and foundations of buildings were carried away. Dead chickens and sheep were picked up in the adjoining cornty, which were recognized as having been blown from points several miles distant. When the oyo one first appeared It looked like an im- men o circus tent filled with and being car­ ried a'ong by the wind. After the tornado had finished iis work a heavy hail-storm pre­ vailed. Houses, catt'e, and all kinds of stock were carried through the air as though they were but chaff, and being thrown to tho ground dead, or with limbs broken so that it was necessary to shoot tbem in order to relieve their suffer­ ings. Fragments of destroyed buildings, cookfn x utensils, etc., were found twelve or fifteen mrics from where they were blown. At Putnam, Ky., a number of hot sas were demolished, several people killed, and a numter wounded. John Hartman, a brake- man on a freight train, was blown from a frcightcar and carried about forty feet, alighting on his head in a creek, breaking his neck, and causing Instantaneous death. In Indiana. The Tillage of £oipio, Ind., near the Ohio line, was wiped out by a tornado, Only two houses were left Intact. Rev. Joseph Wins- con was killed. In the region about Sheiby- vi le, dwellings wero swept away, and out­ houses, fences, hay and straw-stacks scat­ tered al over tho farms. Forests were up­ rooted and destroyed. Near CTonnersville a cyclone forty rods wide swept every­ thing clean for a distance of two milles. In oro&ing Whitewater River, the wa­ ter was lifted in an fmtnonse shedt, and tbe stream left momentarily dry. A cyclone fifty feet wide swept through Rich­ mond with alarming velocity, t earing all sor s of rubbish wi.h it. A, Baptist church was wrecked, and several buildings un­ roofed. Neir Gieenfeld a strip of country twe miles long was devastated, barns, fenoes, and hay-stacks being mixed into an inex­ tricable mass and swept away like chaff. In Ohio. A dydone swept through a section of Ohio contiguous to Dayton, at about the same time the Kentucky storm was performing its work of destruction. The towns of Ridgeville, Shakcrto* n, Ceritervil e. Spring Valley, and South Charleston suffered greatly. Two men were killed at Kidgeviile, and another, who badiak"ii refuge on a covered bridge, was blown into tbe stream and drowned. At Ripley many bouses were unroofed, and farm dwellings, barus and fences were demolished. In North Carolina. A large section of North Carolina wal swept by a fierce cyclone, and many peoplo killed. At Kewton thirty houses were blown down, ono woman killed and fourteen per­ sons wounded. In Lenoir a whole family were killed.

To BEMOYB ST.* INS.--To remove wax stains from Bilk mis powdered French clialk with lavender water to the thickness of mustard. Pot it on the stain, and rub it gently. Pat ai sheet of blotting paper over it anq smooth it with a warm iron. When dry remove the chalk and dnst the njlfa gently with a piece of white linen. I? the wax stain has fallen thickly on thei. s=lk it should be removed first careful­ ly with a penknife. To remove wax, from cloth scrape off with a knife as much as you can without injury to the fabric; drop benzine on tho spot, then with a sponge rub it gently; repeat it- till the spot disappears. i To remove grease spots without injury to the color of the clothj is sometimes easy and sometime® quite difficult. Much may de- fXMid upon . skillful treatments and although various agents are often- times valuable, yet good soap is thej chief reliance. Grease spots may gen­ erally be removed by the patent appli-i cation of soap and soft water, but other means are also used. Ox gall is a goodt and delicate cleansing agent. It ia said to fix and brighten colors, though it has a greenish tinge, which is bad for* white articles. Ammonia is also pootLj Use it nearly pure, and then lav white*' blotting paper over the spot and iron it lightly. The yolk of an egg is also- excellent. Stretch tho fabric on rf ooard, and with a soft clothes-brush dip into the yolk and rub the spot witii it until tlie grease seems loosened. The volk-will not injure the most delicate colors, but the rubbing mav, if too severe. Rinse with warm rain wafer, rub the edges with a damp cloth and clap the whole between dry towels. If the stain is not gone, repeat the process. This is a good recipa for cleaning eilk goods. ^ To feike grease out of velvet, pour a. little turpentine over this spot, then rub briskly with a piece of dry flannel. Hang the article 113 the airv to remove the smell. To remote oil stains from paper or leather, apply pipe-clay, powdered and mixed with water to the thickness of cream; leave it on for four hours. This will not injure the best colors. _ To remove acid stains from linen* ti«» up in the stained part some pearl- ash, then scrape some soap into a cold, soft lather and boil the linen till the stain disappears. Fruit stains may be removed from linen by rubbing flie spot on each side with soap, then laying on a mixture of starch in cold watfer, very thick, rub ifc well in and expose the linen to the sun and air till the stain comes out. If not removed in three days renew the pro­ cess. Oil marks aud marks where people have rested their heads can be taken from wall paper by mixing pipe-day^ with water to the consistency of cream, laying it on the spot and letting it re­ main till the following day, when it may be easily removed with a brush. To clean mirrors take port of a news­ paper, fold it small, dip it in a basin of clean cold water,' and when it is thor­ oughly wet squeeze it out as a sponge* and then rub it hard over the face of the glass, taking care that it is not so wet as to run down in streams. After the glass has l>eeu well rubbed with the wet paper, let it rest a few minutes and then go ctfer it with a dry paper till it- looks clear and bright. Wash oil-cloth once a month in skim milk and water, equal quantities 'Of each. Hub them once in three mouths- with boiled linseed oil. Put on very little, rub it well in with a rag, and polish with a pieco of old silk. An oil­ cloth should never be scrubbed with a brush, but, alter being first swept, should be cleaned by washing with a soft flannel and lukewarm water. On no account use soap or water that is hot. To clean painted woodwork provide a plate ith some of the best whiting to be had, and have ready some clean warm water and a piece of flannel, which dip into the water an squeeze nearly dry; then take as muoh whiting a,s will adhere to it, apply it to tho painted surface, when a little rubbing will instantly remove any dirt or grease. After which wash the part well with clean water, rubbing it dry with a soft chamois. --Detroit Free Preaa. --^. j parlor. wame. v • • -The new game of "Bean bag!* is be­ coming very popular among our socially inclined young people, and "Bean bag" parties are all the rage. The game i3 quite a novel one, aad considerable t-kill can be developed in jtfaying it. One of the best features is that it can be home made without expense. For tke benefit of those who would like a new game to help pass away the winter evenings the following directions for manufacturing the apparatus may not come amiss: First, a board threo feet long and one and a half feet wide, smooth on one Bide (if a board of tho desired width can not be found two can be cheated together on the under side). One end of the board rests on the floor and the other is raised about nine inches, by means of a prop, so it presents a Kloping surface to the player. Nine inches from the top a hole six inches aquare is cut. Next make five cloth bags six inches square (when finished) and loo- ely fill them with beans, and one bag (called "Jumbo"), size six by ten inches. Each player stands five to eight paces from the board and throws all the bags, trying to make them go- through the hole. Every bag going through the hole counts tlie player ten ; those landing on the platform cotini five each, aud all falling on the floor discounts ten. "Jumbo" must be thrown last and counts or discounts twice as- much as one of the smaller b<igs. Any number of persons can play, bnt if the- party is a large one captains may bo- appointed and sides chosen. The limit of the game i* usually five hundred.-- TerjMtichore.
