yVIISCELLANEOUS.
Failure of the New Lomn,
Th* Vaaliinffttm Patriot sfa’ffi that no
intoHioeicff had been rpopived at th<* Treas
urv Department in Washington RP t-o th®
clnue of ku-inexa on the* inaf., tending to
dorrnhomfe the cable teleernm aent from
London tn New York on the f)’h. to the
effect tkat Judse Richardson hud been per
fectly mccefiftfut in hi- npgo’iations for the
disposal of *L» -—man tn Lurope. On
the e ntrary. the Patriot, states that what
ever is known concerning the operations of
the agents sent abroad to place the new
bends iaanvthing but encouraging In the
meantime the numerous ngente employed to
sell the new bonds at home have only suc
ceeded in disposing of some sixtyeight mil
lions of them, and those disposed of are only
”f the highest class, and not a dollar of the
and 4 par cent bonds has yet been taken.
Thus it will he seen t’’at the entire amount
of new loan (which has been on the market
several month-) that has actually been dis
posed of is less than seventy millions. This
is decidedly a bad showing for the re'und
ing scheme of the Administration ; is, in
fact, a practical demonstration of its utter
failure. The Patriot says :
“No doubt, Mr. Bootwell has done bis
best; no doubt his agents have done their
best to sell the new bonds, and to convince
the people of the advantages they offer for
a safe investment on long time; hut it is
notorious that, the refunding scheme was
passed so much in favor of the national
hnnks as to paralyze the hands of tne gov
eminent, from the out-start. It is also
notorious that no bill which compelled the
nati'-na! hanks to transfer the G per cents
for lower-rate bonds could have gotthrough
Congress, in the face of the hank presidents
and bank directors who hold seats in that
body. Now, there i- another fact in rela
tion to the failure of the new loan which
demonstrates how zealous have been ’he
eff rts of the government to dispose of it
and that is the fac’ that the advertising
bills already react* SBOO,OOO : and when to
th it amount is added the commissions of
the agent-, the aggregate is further aug
mented by a considerable figure. Then
there shouhl be added the heavy expense
of the two costly embassies which have
been sent to Europe to sell the bonds there,
sin) which cannot be fairly estimated at
much less than so(] 000 in gold fn view'
of the discouraging facts above referred to.
there would seem to he. some foundation for
ronv>r which was current in this city vest.»r
day. to the effect that Mr. Bmtwell had
ordered the note-printing companies in New
York tn suspend the printing of the uew
bonds until further orders.”
The popularity of the new French loan
in the European money markets, in com
parison with our own, seems so puzzle the
Radical financiers. It appears that even in
Berlin the French loan is the most popular
in the market, ane this gives the host evi
dence that the condition of France, so far as
her material interests are concerned, is not
at all discouraging, and that there i« a con
fidence even among the Germans that she
will soon establish a permanent govenrment,
and one in harmony with the liberal t-deas
of the age Under this view of the pros
pects of France, it is not at all surprising
that the people of Europe would preft r a
loan that is under their snrveilance than
that of a government far away. But there
is another reason why the new A nerican
loan is not popular in Europe. Our own
capitalists and money lenders do not give
it any encouragement, hut rather discredit
it. The following item that we find in the
Washington specials the Cincinnati Com
mercial throws some light on the matter.
It reads:
“The National Banks continue to h >ld
th®ir five-twenties, and other six percent
bonds, and it has heen discovered at the
Treasury Department, that some of these
hanks have advised thpir depositors, who
are holders of six per cents, to keep them.
Th >ugh these National Bunks are the crea
tion of the G'lVeanment, it is from them
t v at the most serious impediments to the
success of the new loan have been met
with.”
Id France there were mere hide f.r the
loan than the amount placed unon the
market, and it was this confidence and
patriotism of the French people that made
the loan popular, while ours upon the same
terms can find no takers. That is what’s
the matter with the new loan.— Union and
American.
A Beautiful Thought —When the Som
mer of youth is slowly wasting away in the
nightfall < f age. and th<» shadow of the past
becomes deeper and deeper, and life wears
tn its close, it is pleasant to lo >k through
the vista of time upon the sorrows and felic
ities of our parlier years. If we have a
home to shelter, and hearts to rejoice with
us. and friend* have been gathered together
around our firesides, then the rough
places of wayfaring will have been worn
and smoothed awav in the twilight of life,
while that the many and irk spots we have
passed through will grow hrighterand more
beautiful. Happy, indeed are those whose
intercourse with the world has not changed
the tope of their holier feeling, or br -ben
those musical chords of the heart, whose
vibrations ar rt so melodious, so tender and
go touching in the evening of their life.

Incredible Power of » Storm—\ Train
Blown from (be Track—lmmense De
struction.
The telegraphic reports in no way exag
gerated the tremendous f>rce of the storm
wiiich recently devastated a pnrtfoh of
Nebraska. In the country near Omaha
serious mischief was done. A number of
people were killed, and a vast quantity of
property destroyed. The house of a farmer,
J. R. Jester, was lifted bodily from its
foundation bv a furious blast and whirled
thrannk air dwa rods Or more. Stunning
and bruising the frightened inmates. In
the same town nearly every
roofed, the wind tearing the roofs off like
pasteboard. F«>r miles the fine corn fields
anil wheat fields have been ruined. Says
the Omaha Herald :
A procession following the corps of Lewis
F. Thompson was overtaken by th° tempest
about four miles west of this city. Mr.
Irelanl was one of the first to it coming,
and. being a strong man. he jumped out,
hoping to he able to hold the carriage to
the ground. But his efforts were fruitless,
the vehicle being twisted out of his grasp
and overturned. Nearly every team was
lifted h<*dilv from the ground. A carriage
in which Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Ireland,
Mrs Scott, and other near relatives of the
deceased were riding, was capsizi and. The
hearse ran down into a hollow, where shel
ter was afforded. One lady was taken up
from the ground and carried a distance of
two hundred feet in the air before she could
regain her feet. The men could not stand
up, but were thrown about at the mercy of
the wind.
The afternoon train on the Fremont and
Elkhorn Valiev Railroad was struv*k by the
storm between Scribner and Crowell, and
the three coaches were lifted from the track,
thrown down the embankment, and turned
upside d<>wn in the ditch. One side of the
engine was lif»ed eight inches from »he
track, but the coupling broke, and it fell
back again. Nearly every passenger was
more or less injured. John McOlary, of
Norfolk, received a fractured skull ; his
wife was bruised bevond recognition ; their
son. Johnnie, had his skull fractured.
Robert E Farley’s shoulder was dislocated.
The left arm of Dr. A. G. Beebe, of Blair,
was broken above the elbow. Conductor
McLeod’s shoulder was broken. Lew.
Reed, of this city, was on the train, hut
escaped with only slight bruises. But one
mile from the wreck of the train, the house
of Nathan Austin was picked up by the
wind, carried about 100 feet, and torn com
plete! v into pieces. Mr. Austin was crushed
to death in the wreck by falling timbers.
His daughter escaped with her life, thomrh
«iio nnTciciv injured.
Toe Union Pacific Kailroad express train,
which had drawn up to the wafer tank at
Lone Tree, was hacked away from the
building when the approach of the storr>
was noticed and not, a moment too soon, for
the wirdmill and building fell immediately
afterward with a fearful crash As the
storm swept about the train, shaking it tre
mendously, the employes of the company
hurried toward the sleeping-cars which
were considered the safest fr in being the
heaviest, and they said that the passenger*
were nearly all on their knees praying for
merev, for not one expected to escape alive.
Immense hailstone* fell at this point, and a
dispatch received from there said that none
were smaller than coffee cups. One was
found that actually measured twelve inches
in circumference. In the city twelve
houses wore blown down and destroyed
The roof whs torn from the back side of the
depot; the kitchen of the hotel was blown
down ; the tel* graph poles were torn from
the ground; a box freight car, which was
standing on a side track was demolished ;
the fram** was blown down an embank
ment, and the truck was taken up by #n
opposite current of wind and thrown on the
main track. Piles of lumber were whirled
in every direction.
The operator telegraphed that “a woman
was picked up by the wind and carried
off a mile at the rate of a th«.>u*and miles a
minute ” A gentleman named E Phelps,
living near Long Tree, was killed, his
daughter fatally injured, and every member
of his family more or less bruised. The
storm there continued a uvut ten minutes,
and its track was about ten miles in width.
Within that limit eVery field of grain was
entirely de-trnyed. At Blair the Sioux
City and Pacific round house was blown
and >wn, and the watchmao, with his son,
narrowly escaped from the ruins with their
lives. Mr. Boston’s house, about one miic
from the town was torn to pieces, but for
tunately no person was injured. The loss
in buildings and crops, which is immense,
cannot now be estimated, and it is probable
that further loss of human life will be
reported.
Slander. — lor re ig no man or woman
who holds a more despicable position in the
community than the common slanderer,
and vet there is none who receives less pun
ishment from an indignant people. They
seem to enjoy a kind of immunity in their
conduct and e'aim an intuitive right to
slander all who may have incurred their ill
will and hatred. Ocasionally, a jury can

As Capt. Kenan and his father. Colonel
Augustus 11. Kenan, were generally known
thronghout Georgia, and ns ui toy, no doubt,
desire to know the particulars of the late
tragedy, resulting In the death of Capt,
Kenan, we give the following facts which
we believe are entirely reliable:
Captain Kenan and Mr. Strother, who had
previously been friends, had a difficulty of
a purely private character several months
ago. Ahout six weeks ago, Capt. Iv , hav
ing heard that Mr. Strother had threatened
to kill him, procured a double-barrel gun
«hnt »t S twice, neither charge taking
effect. Friends interfered and Mr S. de
both parties were , induCe'T tJ togn an instru
ment in writing, pledging themselves not to
renew the difficulty, or inteifere with each
other except to have their differences ad
justed in Court.
Under these circumstances, and as both
parties were generally seen upon the streets
apparently unarmed, all apprehensions of
a renewal of the difficulty had passed away,
and hopes were entertained by tfie friends
of both that the settlement would finally bo
amicable and permanent.
Messrs. Strother and Kenan lived within
two hundred yards of caoh other and on the
outskirts of the city. They were both seen
ahout sunset, Monday evening, the 3d inst.,
going toward their homes. Strother was
on the side of the street on which both lived.
Kenan had two or three bundles of goods
in his arms which he was carrying home.
On the way Strother stopped at the house
of a relative and got a rilie which he had
left there. When near the Executive Man
sion, Kenan took his usual path across the
-street to his house, and, in doing so was
approaching Strother, and when within
some fifteen or twenty feet, Strother leveled
the gun and fired, the ball passing through
Kenan’s chest, killing him almost instantly.
He did not live more than fifteen or twenty
minutes. As he fell he looking at Strother,
said. “John, what did you do this for?’’
If Kenan gave any other cause for the
shooting thun is given above we learn that
it did not come out at the Coroner’s investi
gation. Strother has not been arrested as
he cannot be found ; but his friends say be
will appear for trial at the proper time.
Capt. Lewis 11. Kenan was known as a
highly honorable and chivalrous gentleman,
and one who would tnko no mean advant
age of a foe. As an illustration of this,
we will relate an incident which occurred
many years ago :
His father had offended a young gentle
man in Milledgeville. and the latter wai
publicly abusing him when Lewis came up
and at onceespoused the cause of his father.
The young man had a single barrel pistol
wblob Ka at i.owiti, w iiu imme
diately returned tlm fire using a repester,
and wouuded his antagonist in the leg. ll*
fired a second shot and was about to fire a
third, when his antagonist called out,
‘ Lewis you are a d—d coward! I have no
more shots and you are firing still at me!"
K*man immediately ceased firing and re
plied, “Bill, why didn’t you tell me so
before? I didn't know it." He afterward
visited and nursed his antagonist while his
wound was healing. —Atlant i Sun.
Cariosities of Breathing.
The taller men are, other things being
equal, the more lungs they have, and the
greater number of cubic inches of air they
can take in or deliver at a single breath.
It is thought that a man's lungs arc sound
and well developed in proportion to his girth
around the chest, yet observation shows
that slim men as a rule will run faster and
farther, with less fatigue, having more wind,
than Btout men. If two persons are taken
in all respects alike, except that one meas
ures twelve inches more around the chest
than the other, the one having the excess
will not deliver more air at on? full breath,
by mathematical measurement, than me
other.
The more air a man receives into his
lungs in ordinary breathing, the more heal
thy he is likely to be ; because an important
object in breathing is to retnove impurities
from the blood. Each breath is "drawn
pure into the lungs; on its outgoing the
next instant, it is so impure, so perferctly
destitute of nourishment, that if rebreatbed
without any admixture of pure atmosphere,
the man will die. Hence, one of the condi
tions necessary to secure a high state of
health is that the rooms in which we sleep
shall he constantly receiving new supplies
of fresh air through open doors, windows,
or fire-places.
If a person's lungs are hot well develop
ed, the health will be imperfect, but the
development may be increased several
inches in a few mohths by daily out door
runnings with twenty yards and back at (I
time, increasing teo yards every week, until
a hundred are gone over, thrice a day. A
substitute for ladies and persons in cities ift
running up fitairs with the month closed,
which compels very deep respirations, in a
natural way at the end of thejourney.
As consumptive people are deolining,
leach week is a witness to their inability to
deliver a& much air at a single ootbreathing
n& the week before; hence, the best way to
keep the fell disease at bay is to maintain
lnng development.
It is known that in large towns, 10,000
feet above the level of the sea the deaths by
consumption are ten times less than in
places nearly on a level with the sea.
TweDtycfive persons die of consumption in
the city of New York where only two die of
that disease in the city of Mexico. AH
know that consumption does not prevail in
hilly countries and in high situations. One
reason of this is because there is more
ascending exercise, increasing deep breath
ing; besides* the air being m re rarlfied,
larger quantities are instinctly taken into
the lungs to answer the requirements of the
system thus at every breath keeping up a
high developmet. lienee the hills should
be sought by consumptives and not low, flat
situations. Hill's Health Tracts.
