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 he impannroed which imposes vindictive damage* in rare ca 6 es,ybut the majority oF thes*» viper* escape the punishment they cO justly deserve. And yet the cHrne of which they are guilty, properly considered, is one of the highest known to the law. There is no off-mse more destructive of the be«t inter ests of society. It poisons, to a greater or loss extent, every fountain of public health ard prosperity. It as-aile everv class in the community, youth with its warm blushes and buoyant heart ; manhood with its high impulses and bounding energies, and palsied hands. N >ne are exempt from its tnalici j ouß and vindictive attacks. It enters the bowels of beauty, and plucks the so-es from its cheek. ft l<»oks in nnon the door of innocence, and flowers which grow upon its threshold wither ana die at its approach It is sin abhorrent to man and condemned of heaven.

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.
