The following story of the storm in the Westistoid by a resident of Ord, Nebraska: Miss Minnie Frecaian, the young lady teacher at the Myra Valley district school, had thirteen pupils under her charge whose ages ranged from six to fifteen years, when the blizzard struck the school house. The building was unroofed and the frightened little ones exposed to the elements. Hiss Freeman, with rare presence of mind, gather the pupils together, and, securing a coil of strong twine, she tied them all together by the arms, three abreast. The youngest child she took in her arms, after tying the end of the twine aroung her own body. Selecting her way carefully sh2 ltd the little children with words of encouragement through deep drifts and the blindiDg blizzard to a farm house three qnarters of a mile distant, where all were taken in.

The hopes for a good strong league are brightening. Four clubs are ready. The other four are trying to get ready. In Chattanooga the subscription list is being liberally signed; Atlanta is waking up to her interest in forming a club, and in both cities the Sporting men claim there will be fine clubs. As to the remaining two clubs, there are such cities as Montgomery, Mobile and Greenville, each of them anxious for a club. New Orleans, it is said, has promised to take care of Mobile, but she does not seem to be doing much towards putting a club in that city. It is very questionable if a club, formed under the auspices and by the ocnttonoo of onnttipr Sniit.hp.rn League club, would be any addition to the strength or advance the interest of the League. It would seem very hard if the Mobile nine should, under such circumstances, persist ia beating the Crescents, if ahle to do so. The attempt to work up a ;?am in Montgomery is meeting with local encouragement, but is hardly likely to result in the formation of a strong club. This city would make a nice stopping place, however, in the run to and from ISew Orleans and Memphis, and the expenses of the League would be greatly reduced. Montgomery can afford a club as well as Birmingham or Chattanooga; perhaps better, as the novelty of the game there would almost insure success for the first year. With a little assistance she might organize a good club. Greenville is becoming interested in the national game, and a strong effort is being made there to have a club in the Southern League. The Greenville News is at Work on the plan and there is no doubt that a lively effort will be made to form a club. Greenville takes a wholesome interest in everything that promises to render her more attractive. Base ball will do that, and the Mountain City koows it. A club there would make the chain complete, a series of links rulining from the sea to the Mississippi. It will be pleasant to walch what Greenville is going to do in the matter. Why couldn't Charleston look after her a little? Two clubs in South Carolina would help us here as well as the League. The talk about Louisville is dying out, as was expected. Louisville would hardly enter the Southern League with a highpriced nine and such nice little jumps. The uniform of the Southern League umpires will be as follows: Navy blue knee pants, shirts and stockings, with white caps and belts. It will be a very pretty dress. Charleston has signed Lon Meyers, Voss's catcher, and this fine battery will be together again this season. The -Southern papers haven't sot Charleston's team down right yet. Here it is-: Catchers?Childs, Nicholas, Meyers; pitchers? Knowltoo, Bohn, Brown, Voss; basemen?Powell, Peak, Strief, short stop, Sadie Houck; fielders?Glenn, Carl, Williams. A. W. Saunders and Ed. S. Henglc, of -Chicago, have been appointed umpires for the Southern League. Sporting Life says that Sadie Houck is waiting anxiously for bis advance money. Capt. Young states that $250 was sent to fiouck some weeks ago.. Powell holds Sadie's receipt for the money. Perhaps Sadie wants more.?Charleston Sun. Will 1SSS be a Year of Wart The present year is the fifth year of modern times in which the aggregate of the figures is twenty-five,.and there wijl be but five more years in which such a combinanation is possible prior to the year 2599. Probably few have ever heard of the old prophecy, which runs as follows: ~ ? T in every imure jr-uu m wm uviu, When the sum of the figures is twenty-five, Some -warlike kingdom will draw the sword, But peaceful nations in peace shall thrive. Students of modern history will readily recall how faithfully this prophecy ha? been fulfilled in the four previous years to which it applied. In 1699, Russia, Denmark and Poland formed the coalition against Sweden which inaugurated the great war that ended in the disastrous defeat of Charles XII. ai Pultowa. The year 1789 will ever be memorable on account of the breaking ont of the French Revolution. The year 179S witnessed the campaign of Bonaparte in Egypt and the formation of the second European coalition against France. In 1879 war broke out between England and Afghanistan, followed by the invasion of the latter country by British troops. In what manner the prediction is to be wrifipd in 1888 remains yet to be seen, but the present condition of Europe seems to promise an abundant fulfilment of the j prophecy.

Many a man "mounts the rostrum" nowa-days who hasn't real ability enough to ^warrant his "going on the stump." It is true that the busiest man is the happiest man, but he often doesn't have time to realize it.

San DrEC,o, January 20.?A. year ago a rancher in Moosa Canyon, named Lewis Stone, went East. During Ms absence a family named Goen, consisting of a widow, two sons and a daughter, took posse sion of his ranch and cabin. On Stone's re;;urn he instituted legal proceedings to ej.ct the parties. His title was confirmed,'and la*f Wednesday when the sheriff went to take possession the whole family of Goens faced the officer with revolvers. The sheriff snatched a revolver from Mrs. Goen, who was at the door. She seized a gun and shot him in the face. In the melee which followed Citizen Reed was fatally wounded by-Percy Goen. Clarion, a daughter of Mrs. Goen, was aecidently shot in the neck by her brother, c.nd feli dead. Percy Goen is shot through the head and arm fatally.

The terrible storm which has swept over the Northwest, blockading railroads in five States, is now over, and the victims of its fury are being counted. The pitiful list is growing almost every hour. It is not improbable when the record is complete it will show a hundred lives sacrified to the awful fury of the blizzard. Next to this, the worst blizzard that the Northwest ever experienced occurred January 7, S and 0, 1873. In that storm seventy people were frozen to death and thousands' of dollars' worth of property destroyed. The recent storm promises to be even more terrible in its results. It came without warning. The mercury fell rapidly, and by o o'clock on Wednesday evening ii. was fifteen de-1 grees below zero, and the next morning it registered thirty degrees below. All the while the wind increased in fury, sncw fell thicker, and the large quantity of snow that was already on the ground was blown into powder and hurled along by the wind.

The decoration that proved a citizen to be a true blueof the Tammany tribe was the Aniericus Club tiger, witn eyes of flashing brilliants. But if the golden tiger were there it made little difference whether his eyes were diamonds, rubies, opals, or emeralds. Diamonds have always been in more general use among Democratic statesmen than among Republicans, and young aspirants for power and place are more partial to them than the old veterans. John Kelly never wore a diamond ornament, and in his late year> Samuel J. T:iden decked his person with no other jewels than plain pearl studs, "When a young man he wore diamonds in profusion of the most beautiful and expensive types, but he always kept within the limits of the severest taste. Abram 5. Hewitt never wears diamonds, and neither does Theodore Roosevelt nor Henry George. In fact, the men who have filled the mayoralty chair during the last twenty years were, with scarcely an exception, remarkable for the simplicity of their dress and the absence of jewel ornaments of a showy or expensive character. Mayors Grace, ^ ??/ ! T-Toromnr/ir 51T1 VXJUpui, JC.1J, jlj.IL ?viui-j %,? ? .? ?Jpeared at the City Hull in diamond gtuds. Mayor'Wickham displayed diamond studs and collar buttons very frequently, but Mayor Edson never wore them except in full evening dress. Roswell P. Flower is a sworn enemy to diamonds as articles of personal ornament.. He has been frequently heard to say: "Persons who require jewels to show oil their points, or to draw off attention from natural defects, are to be pitied rather than complimented. Diamonds are all very well for sporting men and horse-jockeys." Notwithstanding this very positive expression of opinion, Mr. Flower is the owner of a beautiful diamond of the purest water, which he wears every day. It is set in a heavy gold ring worn on the second linger of his left hand. The diamond is always carried on the inside, and cannot be seen unless the hand is opened out. His intimate-friends suppose it to be nothing more than a plain gold ring.- iVLr. Flower wears it because it is a present from his wife. None of the judges of the higher courts in this jurisdiction make a show of jewelry, but it is different among the magistrates who preside in the police courts. J. Henry Ford has the reputation of being the best dressed man on the police bench. He is a good judge of diamonds and owns many valuable sets. Justice Hatterson wears diamond studs regularly, and Justices Murray and Duffy occasionally. John j. O'Brien. Robert G. McCord, and Barney Biglin, the celebrated "boy trio" of Republicans, emulate one another in the size and quality of tho diamonds they display. "Shed'7 Shook, the Republican leader in the Fifteenth district, carries off the palm from them all.

Several of the statesmen who were elected to Congress recently are wearers of costly jewels. "Tim" Campbell's shirt-front is covered over with'a cluster an inch square. His friends say the cluster is composed of diamonds of pure water valued at 60,700, but his political foes declare they are paste jewels which can be duplicated in the Bowery for 00 cents. Congressman-elect Amos J. Cummings appears in very small and neat diamond studs on dress occasions, but Congressman Truman A. Merriman thinks he is a big diamond himself and needs 11? foreign adornments. Bourke Cockran has a'iiking for diamond studs, Gen. Smnola and Lioyd Bryce are satis1 fifed with diamond collar-buttons. Perry Belmont rarety displays a diamond, and then only vary small studs in evening dress. "Tom-' Grady will sport diamonds in 1888. The most gorgeous and beautiful diamonds worn" by public men in this city, which cannot be classed as loud, are probably those which deck the persons of Police Commissioner Job* J- McClaw and lvchard M. Walters, the Tammany brave. Mrs- McCIave wears a pair Of diamond ear-rings which arouse envy in t-ie breast of every lady in the hou:>o when she enters a theatre. As she .twists her pretty head around whec the lights are turned low they j fitter and sparkle like a lantern in the I chamber of a coal'mine. They are gems of rare beauty and hiirh value. Captain Williams wears big diamonds in the evening, as does also ex-Police Superintendent Kelso. Sheriff Grant cares nothing for diamonds, but Register John Reiily, Tom Costigan, Nick Midler, Jim Barker, Rollin M. Squire, and Martin B. Brown love them dearly. Mr. Charles Steckler, brother of the judge, wears a diamond solitaire valued at $1,500. Lawyer William F. Howe wears a cluster not quite as big as a buckwheat cake, and little Lawyer Hummel wears very neat diamonds. He received a present of a new set from Lord Lonsdale. Joseph J.

If any voting precinct is greater in size than five miles from the center to any point thereof, the supervisor is required to reduce its size. The certifi- j cate of registration required by the South I Carolina statute shall not have attached j any voting condition incident to property or other qualifications. All registration records shall be public and the names of electors shall be published in one of the county papers. The Governor of the State is re.quired, thirty days before each Congressional election, to appoint tour commissioners of election for each county, to be ap portioned equally among pcuucai parties, and the commissioners are in like manner to appoint four managers of election for each precinct, whose duty it shall be to conduct the election, protect voters, preserve peace, and before adjournment declare the result of the election. The Congressional polling place shall not be the same place as the State polling place, and all ballots to be legal shall be distinctively marked by the managers of election. In order to give all an equal chance to vote, it is provided that when five -members of either party cast their vote an opportunity shall be given to the other political party to cast five votes. It is made a misdemeanor for the officer appointed to refuse to serve and it is made felony for any person to attempt to influence the election by fraud or intimidation, or for officers of election to wilfully refuse to rc^ister^any person or to strike ' his name from the register, or to refuse the. vote of any qualified eleetorr"Ttis furm'er provided that "no elector shall be imprisoned ou election day for refusal to pay his poll ? tax.

The production of steel rails was increased 400,000 tODS; 13,000 more miles of railway were constructed, 2.044 locomotives, 16,145 freight and 14,056 coal cars were built?more than in any previous year. The exchanges of the clearing houses in theX'nited States aggregated ?51,651,818,743, a gain of nearly . *2,-000,000.000 over 1886. Outside of New York, which showed a loss, the gain was 13.21 per cent.
