THJjJ GR15AT W.VLT^RUORO' CALAMITY!
bWAltb'ED Il'Y COMPARISON.
j '^lic storm that burst over Kausus
tin the evening oi Decoration Day
ueetns to have been of a very furious
nature. It is said to have extended
oYer a tract of one hundred and fifty
by oue hundred miles! and to have
worked its way in those doubling
spirals common to what is called a
cyclone. Fifty people nrb reported
^??^<L |jty*|t ^lyl ? grout, dumber
wouuded. TI19 ^pstruo.Uon to build
ings and cattle is described as euor-,
niouv. Details are giVen of a most
extraordinary not to say incredible I
character. Thus, alternate houses j
within a hundred yar^s of each othei j
uro alleged to have been either uuiu
jured or utterly destroyed. The bur-!
iicanc is declared to have been visi-!
ble to the eye, "fnunej shaped," ac
cording to the dispatch to the Her
ald, moving ,"witli terrible .velocity,
times closo to the earth, then1
bounding upward aud almost disap
pearing. The air assumed a thick
j^iilphurious smell, nnd the electric
current could be plainly seen and
heard snapping like gun-shots."
]$oipe observers were near the house
of ? man named Harris, and we are
told that "they saw Harris' residence
drawn in the vortex of the cloud com
pletely out of sight, and in a few sec
onds falling timbers rained upon
them from all directions.
The situation of these observers
musl have been fyr froqi agreeable,
and, indeed, it is not easy to under
stand how they could subsequently
have been iu a condition to tell their
btory. The line of the tornado is de
scribed as extending from Lcc's Sum
mit to Blue Springs. Throughout the
track great trees have been "wrench
ed olf like pipestcms, ponderous rocks
hurled hundreds of yards, all vegeta
lion burned and blackcnctj, fenpes
and houses scattered everywhere, dead
cattle aud other stock scattoved iu
profusion in horribly mangled mass
es." The account of the slate of the
unhappy persons who were killed is
more striking. All the bodies were
covered with thick, bluish, sulphu
rous mud. The clothing was stripped
off and torn to shreds. Shoes were
torn off, and the bodies burned and
binckcued5 Tearfully, {Jqrsos, cattle
and hogs were caught up on Mr. Har
rib'S phtcc, and carried long distances
arid dropped crushed out of all shape.
? At intervals the cyclone would aban
don the earth and riot at a great
height in the air; but anon would de
scend agn'n to the earth aud set to
its work of destruction with ten-fold
f iry. Nt fihing, however, was blown
over ; that which was attacked, wheth
?V a house qj ft sb.eep, being invaria
bly cs?giil up in the air, twisted and
wrenched into fragments, and then
dashed down again upon the ground.
'1 he day was one of intense heat, and
through tho evening and the night
there weie violent electrical deiiiou
btratiops, hut litt'e or no rain. From
j.he statements we have quoted it is
manifest that the hurricane should be
pronounced one of the most astonish?
lUg p,^on record, and additional par
ticulars Will bo'an'iioualy jooked for,
such as shall cither confirm or correct
an account the details of which arc
so- marvelous, if, indeed, we should
not say so unprecedented.

A Good One.
Two boys were standing in front of
u Cfg?r store, wheu one of them ask
pd the other: "Have you got three
cents?" "Yes." "Well, I've got two
cents : give mo your three ceuts und
A-ll buy a five cent Havana cigar."
"All right," says No. 2, handing out
>hu money. He enters tho cigar
store, procures the cigar (on credit
possibly.} lights it, and puffs with a
great deal of satisfaction. t'Come,
now, give us a pull," says No. 2 ; "I
furnished more than half the money."
"I know it," says thp amokcr, "but
t|{eh IJni President and you arc only
a Stockholder ; yon can spit." Now
is not this about the way our rail
roads are conducted. Ask ye stock
