[arsons killed outright, and numbers fatally injured. St. Cmnt, Miss., April 15. A few miuutes after 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon the skies became overcast with a dark cloud, and a great black mass rose "Vcr the hills southwest of the city , coining with terrible velocity toward the western outskirts in a direct line for the Manitoba freight yards. The clouds hung law and rolled over and over like snioko on a battlefield and were accompanied by a loud roaring and cracking sound that resembled a conflagration in its fury. The cloud was funnclshaped, and the point dragged along the ground like the tail of a huge aerial beast, lashing everything that came in its path to atoms. The citizens had hardly time to llec to their cellars and seek other places of refuge before the whirlwind was on them: and the air was filled with dying boards, shingles, bricks and other bebris that was strewn over the country and piled iti promiscuous heaps. It came from the southwest and moved in a northeasterly direction until it reached the river, where its course was diverted, and followed the river banks until it reached Sank llupids. where it diverged to the left, passing directly through the center of that town. The utmost excitement prevailed. Women and children fled from their houses, and rushed aimlessly about in the midst of the dark clould of dust and avalanche of boards and brick. Men lost : their presence of mind and stood in silence and ( inactivity in the presence of the wind demon. ^ tv ??niiiuij iiv/imu uviui'u it >v;ia UI1 lllC Cliy in all its fury, ami people were not warned of their danger before it was upon them, and they ( fell like grain stalks before the reaper's sickle. The part of St. Cloud struck by the clyelone < was the southwestern sectiou, and was occupied . by the houses of the laboring class of people, the majority of whom are foreigners employed on the railroads. Their dwellings were light- 1 built houses and became an easy prey to the 1 inoustcr that had so viciously pounced upon t them. They were like cockle shells in the j grasp of the whirlwind, ami were picked up and tossed in the air and rcnUinto a thousand j pieces. The earth was ploughed up in tho line of the cyclone: and the path over which it passed, to the width of nearly a quarter of a ( mile, looks as though it had been upheaved by 1 a terrible volcanic eruption. The wind had ?, hardly begun its terrible work before it was ( finished, and the scene that greeted the eyes of those who ha l cscapad the fury was ono t'iat caused the stoutest heart to shudder. The cries and shrieks of the wounded rent the air, and the ground was strewn with the bodies of the dead. Among them were stalwart men, weak women ami weaker children. The citizens almost to a man. rushed to the demolish- I ed districts, and summoning physicians, began \ their work of rescuing those who were still liv- t ing from beneath the piles of dirt ami tailing ; building*. After dark iiic scene was a ghastly 'j one. The rain poured down in torrents and hundreds of men wandered over the ground, < many carry iug lanterns, searching for bodies among the ruins. The hotel lobbies were tilled i with excited citizens, many of whom suspected that sonic portion of their families or their friends had fallen victims to the terrible disas- ^ ter. Women, seemingly unconscious of the rain thai was falling, were in the streets and. t ignoring the gutter.- and turbid streams, glided ] about sobbing and moaning in their fright. The f-uce of the storm was such as ti> wrench oil tlie door of a safe in the postntlicc and carry it some distan :e front the building. A church ' bell, weighing 1.<?'?'J pounds, was found among | the debris four hundred feet away from any building. The remains of t lie dead arc almost unrecognizable, being completely ctnslied and blackened. Tnere are a remarkable number of per.-ons injured about the hips and spine; many of tlia survivors will he disabled IVr life. Eighteen dead were taken to the l.ittlo tiiant engine house and stretched out on the lluor. while the wounded were sent to the St. I'enedict t'athoiic Hospital, where they were promptly cared fir by a corps of physicians and nurses, sarong whom were numerous lady residents who had volunteered their services. There were forty-four woun led in the hospital last night, beside- tire large number that was t.,kcu to private residences. To-day there are about forty-three, two hating died, and others having been removed. The bodies at tiro enL'iiic-hotisc were neatlv dressed to-dav and ! placed in Coflius. Sii k Uaiuhs, Minn., April I?A cyclone struck this city shottly after 1 o clock yesterday afternoon, nutl injust six minutes the best portion of the town was in ruins. Nut a single business house was left standing on Main street. Many resiliences were ilcinnlisbcd. The witt'l cnue from the southwest an i swept ovcrytliing before it for a whit li of about four blocks. i he storm cloud was as black ns night, with a bright clear -ky on cither side. The I'nuthouse is now a heap of ruins and several of the county otiicers were killed.

The roof was lifted and Mown several hundred feet, and over ."?d,00<> worth of freig'it was scattered piecemeal over an area of a quarter of a mile. Ffteen freight curs were demolished. Operators in the telegrapn ollice and employees at the freight depots saw the cyclone coming and tied into the cellar and they escaped. - - - ? (Jor Ills Wife Amumi the Tombs.? Goldsmith Long. of tho 1 >wer section of Groouvillo, has boon attentive for some time to Miss K-ixio Cox. a daughter of Manning Cox. Miss Cox is a young lady whose many attractions of her person and mind have given her the opportunity to pick and choose among the eligible young men of the neighborhood, and she selected Mr. Long as tho object of her affections, acting much more sensible than much courted young ladies generally do, iuasuiuch as he has everything to recommend tiiui.

If the seasou following be dry or if there are only occasional showers, the roots of the coiu will grow mainly in the lower pulverized soil, where there is constant mosture, li dding plant food in solution. The after cultivation is usually done with a sweep, run shallow to clean the b-d of grass and to pulverize the surface soil. We will suppose a wet epcll of ten days or more to follow this May nl.nrli.o I.,...- ...Ill .1... I.. .IV.,.. ...1 I.. -1 iun HVMf **lll V?IU V.UI (1 UU ?l liC*."ll"U l-'Jf it ? It will cause the corn to grow rapidly. The corn roots will in a short time take possession of the cutiro corn hod ; upon examination they will be found near the surface, because they cannot grow in the too wet soil below. The stalks will urow unusually large and tall, and the ground will le covered with grass and weeds. In this condition of the crop, the farmer finds himself in a dilemma. if lie should coueludo to let the corn and grass grow together, bo cannot expect much of a yield, and if he should determine, as he usually does, to clcau the corn-bed of grass and weeds, what effect will this working have upou the corn ? It will have the effect of bringing tho growth of the corn at once to a stand still. la a short time the lower blades will begin to turn yollow; what is called firing, which will soon roach up to the insignificant shoot, the aborted car. What has caused this sudden change in tuc appearance ui the corn ? The am wer I would give is, the plow has done it. It matters not what kind of a plow may be used, nor how shallow it may be run over the corn-bed, it will cut and destroy nearly all of those roots that grew near the sur face during the wet spell of weather. The corn has been severely root-pruned, and before it can recover from this root-pruning the time for making the car has passed, and the result is a complete failure of the crop. lu the last twenty-live years I have sceu this wet spell happ.rn sovoi-.?l tin'es n'y ut the first of June, and io. every ins wince the corn crop was more or less injured? not so much by the wet spell as, in my opinion, by the faulty cultivation before and after the rains. ir'uch a wet spell happened in t..is section last summer, coin incticiiig about the lift til of M<?y. and lasted two weeks ; the corn was plowed as usual and revived. Afterward I heard several farmers attribute the failure of the crop to the wet spell. Jlul is it a fact that a wet spell happening ab ?tit the caring time of corn is calculated to injure the crop? in less iL is in land too retentive nf water hi not properly drained, I cannot think so- I believe it in mainly duo t) a faulty of cul tivation. If such a cultivation be attended with so much hazard to the crop as i have shown, what better system can be instituted to insure success, whether the seas u be < wet or dry ? My object in ibis commuui j cation is to call the attention of farmer- j to a plan which both observation and cxpe j riencc have proved to be more certain than ! the one usually practiced. In a Southern climate like ours it is im i poriant t > have the rows wide apart, -av f? ! or G feet, and not to have the corn loo ! thick in the drill. I will confine what I have to suggest mainly to the u-e of tho plow in cultivation, leaving details t > the j good judgment of the farmer. As soon j then as the e >rn i> larg enough, go ar mud it one time with a lour inch scooter, run , ning it as de-p and as near the corn a* I possible. Fifteen or twenty days after this plowing, go around tin' second time, run I ning one furrow with a four or live in -h j turning shovel ju-t outside the scooter ' furrow, and throwing the dirt or soil well ' around the corn stalks in the drill. A.lcr i t this second lurrow :s run, the lines should I follow, cleaning the narrow corn h 1 and I bringing the corn I" a stm i which should be thin enough to stand and do we'd in a moderately dry season. Again, i.i fifteen or twenty days :? third furrow -1 ><>ui11 be added to tlio corn-bed So I * > r 11 fun vv J at'a time nntl at suitable intervals ha? I, en given to tho coin-b. l . our object in this is ti? nivf a fresh Mipply M j'liiv riz ui | s<>il to the roots, hut no more than i- deem1 cJ ncccs.-ary to or,,w- a in ah ratolv i I stalk, reserving the middle to be given j when the time conies to grow an car. l! in tlie meantime the ini<M!o sh.ou'itl become foul, it should he cleaned with a swoop or I other suitable plow. \ A? this stage ol our cultivation, suppose :i wet should npi.'iir. h<>\v will ilie corn 'bo affected l>y it The ro.t- will grow near tli" suil ico for lbo r h >:m ?rivo?? I iibovo, but will bo confined to tb* narrow corn-bod !:;:i'lc by the six furrow* riliondy given; "i.i'i (in: ojn'ii tliiid iuno'V will irevent tlieui from reaching the unbroken middle. A - .-non alter the rains as the ground i> in a o>n<1 iti?>n to be plowed, the cultivation can bo resumed. The corubed is to be let alone whether it is grassy or not. l ite grass and weeds cannot be destroyed by lite plow without also greatly injuring the corn roots, the very thing to bo avoided, llut the middle can now be plowed out entire with a turning plow, throwing tin dirt as Car over the corn-bed as possible to cover up all grass and weeds that have come up during the wot spell; those the piuw cannot cover up had belter bo let alone, except so much of thcui as can bo destroyed with tho hoe. They are in soui?- respects like the tares found growing with the wheat, had better be let grow together until harvest, lest in destroying the one the other may be injured. If, however, there is no wet spell after the third furrow is run. when should the middle bo plowed out Just when the corn is about to put forth the tassel ; then tlu entire corn-bed should be made that the roots may get possession of all the ground witliin their reach in order that they may appropriate the fertilizing elements of the soil to make the ear. If this be done 'oo early, anl the season be favorable, the stalk is sure to grow too large, and then, il the season should he unfavorable about the time the ear is putting forth and maturing, the soil may not allord water and fcrtiliz. ing elements enough to maintain a largo stalk and to grow an carat tho same time. If it is necessary to plow corn after this tii keep the bed clean, it should be done with a sweep, run as shallow as possible. Any cultivation to be successful must avoid the cutting of tho roots just, before and during the time the car is making. In this plan 1 have only given the main points, leaving minor details to be applied ; .* occasion may rctjuirc. 1 l it can be improved let it be done, for I am sure many readers of the (i u/tioutor would aprcciate any suggestions that would enable them to in* crease the production of corn and make it a more certain crop.

This is the touching story : Miss Annie* Pickens, daughter of the liovernnr of South Carolina, was to be married April 1SGI5, in < 'ii.irlostoii, to Lieutenant Andrew do Kochcllc. Tiie wedding party had assembled at the Tit-kens residence, and the clergyman w :s asking the bride if she was ready, when a shell from a 1'iiion mm in 'lie harbor broke into the rnoni and burst. Nine p iv -ms were hurt, hut only Miss Pickens' wound proved fatal. She bore the pain with wonderful fortitude, and was unmoved when informed that shehad only an hour to live. !>j Kochclle said that he would like to have low die his wife, and the poor girl smiled sadly in assent The guests remember the scene as far more pitiful than can he described. The bride lay on a sofa, her white dress dab* hi d i11 blood and her long hair dishevelled, while her pallid face was so wrung with agony that her efforts to smile became futile. The ei reim-ny was hurriedly performed, though the bride's os,' was in fiint, lalahorcd whi.-per, and her lip- hardly moved in response to her husband's ki<?. She died imniediati ly afterward. . ? .

A NEW| BILL OF RIGHTS. It was an evil ilay for both parties when the workiuguicu assumed the right to organize for the coercion of their employers. A few voices were heard iu opposition : here auJ there a sturdy adherent to principle was outspoken in condcmuat'oii ; but the laborer was supposed to be the weaker party and ha l therefore tho public sympathy. The employer was held up, for the most part, as a bloated capitalist disposed to grow rich out of tbe life-blood of his poor dependents whose ill-requited toil tilled his groaning colters; and it was claimed that there was no other methord ofredress. The workmen were pictured as salves to a tyrau uieal master and only hy conspiracy .and revolution could they secure their cmauei pat ion from such cruel bondage.' The end was held to justify the means, and strikes became the order of the day. It is but just to the great body of work ingincn to say that they were never heartily in favor of the system. Whenever the hands in a workshop or factory turned against their employer, and by leaving his service in a body, sought to compel hiui to increase their pay or to allow them to manage the establishment alter their own fashion, it was Hie few noisy and turbulent spirits who precipitated the contest, and by taunts and threats, and appeals to passion and prejudice, compelled their more than hall-reluctant companions to join the con* spiracy. The latter often saw that such exercise of force erild never subserve their interests. Capital is not a grim and hoarded tyrant wielding the mace of a despot. It is always timid and conservative. It hesitates at invcsmciits; it is apprehensive at ovim v vtlinu* nf fiotmlnr vinlnnnn if !? ?*. an instinctive dread of anarchy ; and every successful attempt to wrench by force a reward for service not willingly conceded by those to whom it is rendered, counts in the long run against the laborer by closing some avenues that would otherwise he opened i' r bis employment, and preventing the < .-tableiuncnt of now and profitable in 1 i trie-. The system of coercl : < ::*v adopted can have iu the nature of things no recognized limits. Revolutions, inaugurated in conspiracy, may have a peaceful beginning, but are sure to re-ult iu violence if the end cannot be otherwise attained. The operatives in an establishment ask for some terms the employer feel.- that be cannot or ought not to grant. They seize upon some moment ? IIUII liut.lll III 'IIIMU .1 ril^jll'IIMdll III il l> work, or at :mv rale least expects if, and leave Iiis service. This, as we have said, when it takes the form usually adopted, is a conspiracy to produce an illegal effect, by an act which for each in his place might bo legal and proper. A customer at a grocery wishes for extended credit or for some other favor the proprietor i' unwilling to grant, lie lias a perfectly legal right to cease trad ing with the offending dealer. l?ut ho has no moral or legal right to canvass the neighborhood and to induce all the customers of the establishment to combine for the ruin of the grocers trade. The revolt among the the workman soon goes beyond the withdrawal of the strikers and this, if men will ponder if shows at once the true character of the plea upon which it is ma-'e. It is designed, its advocates say. to protect the rights of the laborer; to secure for his hungry wile and children a larger share of the necessaries of life, and to protect in the only effective way against an intolerable tyranny. Hut the employer is not willing to accept the dicta lion, and 10 looks around for other work men to take the place of those who have left hiin I ft: finds. it may lie. any number of' llu: unemployed who are not only ready but nnxiors in >(. j into the vacant places J and take up the lites wliicli their fellows j have aban bnied.

Are the wives and children of me n who have h en loti" nnctn|iloyc<l and who jump at tliis opportunity to earn a livelihood any Jess entitled to bread Mian the families i f the strikers, who have been made the theme of so much eloquence? What do we see on every side ? The most intorcrahle tyranny over his fellows practiced by the very men who claim to be i the anointed apostles of freedom, for. let all mark it. violence is not directed a^ain-t . the employer. If there were no idle work men anxious lor service there won 11 he no need of a h wlinir mob armed with clubs ' and paving stom s to keep the deserted , works in the idleness to which they have been devoted. The employer cannot shirt ( ! his works without the laborers and it a j. mob i? needed to stop the enterprise, tin violence is not again>t the capitalist, boi against the workmen who arc seeking the 1 service. If wo concede the right ol tin . i men to combine and leavo the looms am . the forces and the mines and the cat?. am, the carts, and the barges to decay iu silence there is no need of angry words to effect ail this. unless the rights of other worktng:;.cii are ruthlessly invaded. The spirit of mob violence is not. thereto, e. directed liist or chiefly against the employer. no matter how great a tyrant he may have boon, lie is powerless, and may fold his arms in silence, if no one <s ready to enter the vacant service, livery act of in tiniidation. every resort to brute force, shows that other workinginon are willing to till the deported places. and must l>e kept from it by the grossest violation of the lib orties these men have vowed to cherish and protect. There can be no occasion f r vie uionslrations of force, except as these are directed against ineti who arc willing and anxious to work. Will the scabs ami the rates take the bread out of the mouths of our wives and children ? demand the angry rioters: as t! ?y break the windows of the factory, overturn the cars in the street, tear up the tracks of the railway, upset the carts loaded with coal, cast olT the lines of the barges, kill the engines ready to draw the freight, and hardly stop short of killing the nu n who desire to use iln-m for this pur*K?s;. llsit have the scabs and the rats and all the rest of unemployed, by whatever oppro brious names they may be known, who sick to secure this service, no liberty to put the broad earned by honest toil into the mouths of their wives and little ones ? l?y what new bill of ri. hts is this denied to them ?
