iKUtod April 14 ->8i. ft 8t. Paul, Mum Cloud Mid Soak RapldvihU Bute, Wure swept by a terribly destructive efslmie ubout 6:80 o’clock this After- uoon. The first knowledge of the dlsoster was contained in a telegram sent to Major Ames from St. Cloud, reporting the disaster and asking that a special be sent with physicians. A similar dispatch was received from Sauk Rapids. Immediately upon re ceipt of these messages preparations were made to respond to the call for help. A train for Bt. Cloud left at 6 o’clock. Information at hand is very meagre, and sensational reports are current that one hundred people were killed. It Is believed that at lepst forty persons have been killed and about seventy-five wonnded, bat it is impossible to get much information as yet. All is excitement and the streets are filled with men and frightened women and children. The disaster is certainly appalling. As nearly as can be learned scores of honses have been entirely wrecked. Twelve physicians were aboard tbe relief train which left for 8t. Cioad. Bt.

Clark, a well-known lumberman who live* in St. Cloud, rays nlneig persona were killed and • more than 100 Injured, many very seriously. Superintendent Wakcnnoi of the Msnitoba Hoad says that be tween thirty and forty persons were killed at Smik llanida, a few mile* southeast of St. Clond, and nearly double that number injured. 8t. Paul, April 14.—Reports of the cvcloue at Bt. Cloud, Bank Rapid*, . Kye Station and other points In the vicinltj', last night and early this morning, were not exaraersteri. At S o’clock this morning in the plsces . turned there were forty nine dead and iMwri/ two hundred injured, with many Mill missing, whose bodies wHI probably be recovered. Just enough bowses ere left in Sank Rapids to form a fringe around tbe village limits. The debris is not piled in heaps, but scat tered for and wide.

(’lord, Minn, April 16. —A few minutes after 4 o’clock yesterday after noon the skies became overcast with a dark cloud, end a great black mats rose over Ibe blits southwest of the city, and oomiag with terrible velocity to the western outskirts in a direct line ’ for tbe Manitoba freight yards. Tbe 1 clouds bung low, aed rolled over and over Uko smoke over e buttle field, and . were accompanied by e load roaring • sound, that resembled a conflagration la its fery. Tbe cloud was funnel- shaped, and tbe point dragged along the ground like Um tail of a huge aerial beast, leaking everything (hat came in its path Into atoms. Tbe eltiseiis bad .hardly rime to flaa to their cellars and seek other points of refuge before a whirlwind WMon them and the air filled with fiying boards, shingles, brieks and other debris, that was strvwn over the country and piled in -prosulscooni heaps.

The only building of any consequence a»ide from the depot injured was the brewery, and this wu» badlv warped and twisted. The KniHlI reoidenres were mostly occupied by foreigners who*e nsthei- it has been iinpcissible to necure with any degree of accnracy. The money loss is dis proportionately small. It is estimated that 860,000 will replace the buildings destroyed. Thu force of the storm was such a* to wrench off the door of the safe in the postoffleo and carry it some dis tance from the building. A church bell weighing 1,000 pounds was found among tbe debris *lour hundred feet •way from any building. The re* maids of the dead are «lmost unrecog nizable, being completely crushed and blackened. There are a remarkable number injured about the iiips and •pine. Many of the survivors will be disabled for life. Thirty-one persons arc already dead. The list will be swelled to forty. Ur. Ames, of Minneapolis, who is on duty at St. Cloud, imormed Ur. Dullivcr that at least thirty deaths can hut re sult from the visitation there. At Sauk Rapids a man named Van Etton, who weighs 260 pound.-, was carried 400 feet through the air and fatally in jured. A dead baby was found in the street. No owner for it can be found. At St. Cloud in the track of the storm stood the Manitoba freight house and curs tilled with freight. The heavy cars were lifted -from the tracks and cast in a shapeless mass. Iron rails were torn from tics and twisted like the smallest wires. Tele graph poles were torn up and the wires twisted into curious masses. Tlte freight house was totally wrecked. The roof was lifted and blown several hundred feet. The sides next suc cumbed, and over $3,000 worth of freight was scattered piecemeal over a quarter of a mile. Fifteen freight curs were demolished. The operators in the telegraph office and the employ^* at the Ireigitt depots saw the cvcloue coming and flea into the cellar and they escaped. IILINI) CHAPLAIN M1I.III I(N. Noiii« of tho ChurortorlsMr* of the I'uriMin Who*« PublU' Prayers I'leasp tli«- I'r. pt«. (From the W'athinyton Poet.) The Rev. Ur. Milburn, the blind Chaplain of the House of Representa tives. whose prajers arc fiist now creating •‘sensation, is a remarkable man in more than one respect. Forty- three years ago he was told by emi nent doctors tsal he would be dead wilhin sixjpontlis, and siuce that lime he has trave'ed, by actual computation, a million and a half miles in his voca tion. He it now physically, although in his sixty-fourth \ ear, as strong and robust as most men of thirty, and ids intellect it of more than common |iower. He can. give more accurate descriptions of Westminster Abbey, Cologne Cathedral, Net re Dame and the other Old Word monuments than can the majority of those persons who have not been dependent ou other people’s eyes and ou their sense of touch. He can describe the rock* outlines and mountainous declivities •<! thv Sierras and of the Rocky Mountidiis and of the picturesque beauties of tin- Blue Ridge with a force and vigor combined with accuracy rarely equal ed, even by writers who still retain their sight, while he has been blind aim* be was five years old. It is Ins wonderful power of thus describing in simple language (he concrete things of life that rentiers his sermon* and prayers so forceful and attracts to them such widespread attention. IIis first invocation to attract notice iti the House was a vigorous denunciation of •lock gambling, but recently he cast ail previous utterances in (he i-hadc by deferring to the present labor troubles in such a manner as to fcull forth from a Heprescntative the remark that it was “an incendiary Bpeech.” A reporter of the Poet found Ur. Milburn .enjoying tjiedelight of a lohg-stemmed pipe. Ai the re|K>rtcr'8 entrance the Uuctor arose, and, in a hearty voice, said he was “glad to sec” him. The reverend gentleman is of tall and commanding presence. Uroad- chested and incliucdto stoutness, he is tlM plctnre of" health. A full, nn- tritntued gray beard floats way down his vest, while bis black hair, streaked with silver, is brushed back tromr his high forehead and lianas in brushy iHxuriance upon the collar of his cler ical coot. His strongly-marked feat ures bear a kindly expression, and arc every now and then lit up by u pleas ant smile. While talking lie fixes his eyes upon the person whom he is addressing, and the sightless orbs appear to look straight into the soul of his listener. He is a most entertain- lag talker, and one of his favorite^ boobies is the subject of health and its promotion. He is a very Jew in hie selection ot food, po-itively eschew ing all hog meats, ami he treats him self to a regular course of curry-comb and rough towel, cold watery’oil and snn-baths every morning. As he himself says, he is one of the best groomed men in the country. Gladstone's jkhams for Ireland. The second reading of Gladstone’s home rale bill in tlie House of Com mons has been postponed till May 10th. The Conservatives have concinded to postpone until after tbe Easter holi days the question )f deciding whether or not to force a division on the second reading of the bill. Gladstone has sent the following reply to the congratnlatory cablegram received by him from the Mayor of Boston: ' “I have received your telegram. I thank you for your courtesy in inform ing me of the proceedings of the mass meeting held in Boston to take action of (be4on the aohjact of the proposals of a government for Ireland. 1 feel that American opinion, allied as it is wifh regartfto an affection for the old conn- try, affords Her Majesty’s government a powerful moral support. I remain, dear worshipful Mayor, faithfully Ths FOm Crop Pre*p««t—Tmmlfcnuifo (row ths Sooth Mortar Larjr«>7 Into Ar. kauta*. PntE Bluff, Ark., April 12.—The. past winter, which was one of unusual severity in this part of the country, after lingering long in the “lap of spring”, at last has given place to warm, inviting sunshine, singing birds ami blooming flowers, which herald the near approach of summer.. The weather continued changeable and un certain and very discouraging to plan ters up to the 6th instant, when there was a heavy fall uf snow, but it apt being cold enough to freeze, after a few hours of sunshine all traces of the snow disappeared, leaving no visible sign of damage either to the fruit crop or to vegetation. Since then the weather has been such as to cause everything to put on a new aspect Of life and vigor. The fanners throughout the country are very busy making preparations, as usual, for a large crop of cotton. This is a good corn country, but cotton is made the leading crop. There is very little small if rain raised here, and what is, is generally sown late in the spring, as the abundance of rain and the hard freezes duringshe winter almost in- vusiably prove destructive to fall sow ing- There has been the greatest demand on the part of farmers, this spring for supplies 1 ever heard of. This is partly owing to the fact that the influx of immigration during the past winter was unusually large, most ol the new comers Jicing negroes who had jnst enough, or but Utile more money thuii it look to defray their expense* here, ami owing to certain Ji-tngc* made in the inoitgage law by our last Lcgisla ture, a mortgage on crop without stock or some kind of real estate is not valid security. Hence many have experi enced considerable difficulty in'obtain ing supplies, lint the new-comers are not alone in this respect. There is a class of farmers here, a* there is every where, I suppose, who, from a lack of foresight ami pro(>cr economy, or from other causes, have gotten behind, and depend altogether on the credit system Tor Hiipplie* during Hie summer, and they live -luud, tbev pay such enor mous prices for what they consume, th.v when ilu-> sell their crops in the fall it takes about all they have made to square up with their merchant, and thus it goes— “The little bee sucks tlie luud— - And the big bee sucks the honey. The poor man makes the crop— Hut the rich ninii gets tlte money". I met a great many negroes here, who came from Newberry, Lexington and Richland counties, lust December ami January. They seem greatly pleased with their new homes, and are expecting manv of their friends in the old State to join tftem here next win ter. The negroes are already in the majority hero, and their number* are nearly doubled every year. The leading topic of conversation hci>e for several weeks past ha* been tlie strikes, the bad ( fleets of which have been so seriously felt in St. Louis, Little Rock and other neighboring •Htics. Since they have ended, the talk has turned to the overflow of tlie Missisisippi and tlte expected rise of ihe Arkansas. I will write of this rise when it conie*.^ a. j. c. Tin: I HIM If PAHLIAMKMT. The Text of Mr. GlaOstony'N Kniunus Mil for the Future Government of Ireland Made Public. The House of Commons having voted permission to Mr. Gladstone to-intro duce his bill for the better government of IrctAnd, the official text of the meas ure i« now made public. It debars tlie Irish Parliament from legislating con cerning the status, dignity or succes sion of the CmixuV-tauu passing laws affecting peace or war the army or navy, militia or volunteers, or the defence of the realm, and from taking any action concerning the foreign or colonial relations of the Empire. Among other subject* placed beyond the power of the Irtish Government to d£al with are dignities, titles and hon ors, prizes and booties of war, offences against the law of nations, treason and alienage, navigation, copyright, pat ents, mails, telegraphs, coinage, weights and measures. The bill tardi er prohibit* Ireland from doing any thing to establish or endow any re ligion, or to disturb or confer any [ irivilegcs ou account of religious bo- ief, and also forbids it to impose cus toms or excise duties. The Queen is given the same prerogative to summon, rrorogue and ijissolve the Irish Legis lature as she has with respect to .the Imperial Parliament. To her Majesty is also given (he power to erect forts, arsenals; magazines and dock yards. The Irish Legislature is permitted to impose taxes to be paid into the con solidated fund to defray the expenses of the public service in Ireland, sub ject to the provisions of the Irish laud purchase bill, but is not to either raise or spp opriale reVchues without the recommendation of the Queen, made through the lord lieutenant. Church property in Ireland is to belong to the Irish people, subject to existing charges. The executive government of Ire land is vested by the Queen in a lord lieutenant, who wilf govern with the aid of such officers and councils as the Queen may appoint, and will give or withhold the Queen’s assent to such bills as the Irish legislature may pass. The absence ol modification of the home rule bill disheartens the Liberals, and a movement is on foot to obtain Gladstone’s assent to the introduction of a motion asking the House of Com mons, before the second reading of the bid, to adopt a resolution simply yours, W. E. Gladstone.’ Ldkm mm Old Creaky Wladaw Shatter. That is tbe way a man’s rheumatic^ Mots sometimes are. Hinges old, niity and worn,and badly need oiling. The trouble is in the blood.
