A similiar epidemic, in the forties, was ealled the “Tyler grip.” lint the “Harrison grip” is nothing to the gripes and grip of the republicans of 18811. The ins have the “grip,” and they are holding on to office like griin death to a ,h ad nigger; while the outs have the gripes. And they have it mighty had. But if you want to see a genuine ease of the latter, turn your eye toward the democratic multitude, who arc standing afar off. Some of Latest Telegrams. CLOUD BURSTS AND RAIN. The legislature very wisely tabled the resolutions endorsing Blair’s edu cational bill. Several members of the house and senate were sent to the penitentiary this week. Public Documents.—We arc in debted to the courtesy of Senator Brown for valuable documents relat ing to agriculture, horticulture, etc. Werchojansk, Siberia, is the cold est inhabited spot on the globe in win ter, tbe thermometer often marking !)0 degrees below zero. The lease act, to lease the W. & A. R.T\.,has been reported to the House. It has been made the special order for next Thursday. A cyclone swept over a Kansas man’s prairie farm the other day. It lifted everything off the place except the mortgage. The mortgage still sticks. Savnnnah is going to discard mule muscle, and adopt electricity instead, for the purpose of running her street cars. Happy deliverance for the mules. 1 - 00 them are fairly doubled up with it. A dose of office i.» the only remedy known. Democratic doctors are pre scribing office, but say the medicine cannot he compounded and ready to give before 18!).'!. This is a long time to wait, hut it would seem that the disease will have to run its course; run until the grip of the republicans can he broken loose. And then they will have the gripes themselves. There is a good deal of difference between the feelings of a man who has a firm grip on a fat paying office, aud that of the man who has the gripes, from being left out in the cold. Jlere and there is a democrat who still has a grip oil a small office, hut the fatal swish of the political executioner’s nx, and the dull sickening thud of demo cratic heads, as they fall in the bas ket, arc rapidly reducing the number of those who are still nervously hold ing on. Fewer and fewer grow the once grand army of democratic office holders. The places which now know the few remaining ones, will shortly know them no more. A long and hastly procession has already ‘walked the log;” the funeral train still moves, and, one by one, loved ones are lost and seen no mote. He roes have fallen by the wayside, hold ing on to office until struck down in the midst of their usefulness. The bones of the victims whiten plain, vnl- 1(£ and hill top, from the land of cod fish balls to the viie-clad hills of the Pacific;’ from Canada to far off Alaska. The legislature stopped in its wild career of rushing bills through long enough the other day, to pass a reso lution thauking Primus Jones for a lot of watermelons. This was rather ■mall business. “The Harrison grip” is not a pecu liar manner of handshaking adopted by the President, but the name given to a disease which has become epi demic in Ncwburg, N. Y. It is more severe in the cases of adults than those of children, but in no instance has it yet proved fatal. It is said that about 2,000 people in that city are ill with it. A like epidemic prevailed in Eastern New York iu 1842, during the term of office of President Tyler, and it was then called the “Tyler grip.” The physicians were unable to give it a name when it reappeared re cently, until they found that it was called the “Tyler grip” in 1842, then they concluded to call it the “Harri son grip.” The symptoms are not typical of nny one disease, but par take of several.—Ex. “In the Wiregrass.” This is a charming story of Sou'hern life Iroin the pen of I.ouis Pendleton. From, the first page to the last, the in terest of the reader never (lags. The plot of the story is good, and the au thor shows ability and genius in the more than clever execution of his work. The elegant and refined life of McWille, the home of Capt. ISrooke, the fidelity of old aunt "Chloc" to our family, as she with pride always refers to the domestic affairs of the Hall’s, dear old Mrs. Mathis, the genuine and generous Georgia cracker, generous always with her tcnic, ‘ a mixty which she has been a fixin’ for twenty year,” make the story a true picture of those phases ol Southern life with which the author deals. The vernacular of the cracker and the dialect of the negro, arc true to life, and these, interwoven with a mel low pathos and a quiet humor, con spire to make “In the Wiregrass” a valuable addition to the literature of the South. Incompetent and careless switchmen cause a large per cent of railroad acci dents. The negro switchman actually held the switch open which sent that passenger train, with its precious load of passengers, crashing into a freight train, on Thursday night, beyond "Waycross. Switchmen should be sober, comjictent, careful men. It would pay railroads to employ only euch men. In an address delivered before the Iowa Chautauqua assembly on “The “Value of English Literature,” Fresi- udent Stetson, of the Dcs Moines col lege, said some things at least worthy «f consideration. “English litera ture,” said he, “is the only one we can master, and yet the student in cur colleges devotes more time to foreign languages than lie devotes to the literature of his own tongue. In the Englishman and Anglo-American llows the best blood of northern and tentral Europe, and tbeir literature is the fruitage of the i ipest thinking of the ages. Being thus superior to all Others, why has it so small a place in •Ur schools and colleges V” This is healthy and patriotic talk, and, com ing from a college president, it is one •f the noteworthy signs of the times. The St. Louis Globe Democrat says; “Only one city in the world has ever undertaken by legal supervision to put every bouse under positive and absolute sanitary control, and that city is Buenos Ayres. The purpose is within three years to have this ac complished. By no other means can a city’bc rendered safe for residence, and in no other way can the laws that city residence rapidly degenerates the population be reserved. The matter of sanitation cannot in any phase of it, he left to individuals; it must he a public provision, rigidly enforced. Now that two-ninths of all our people live in cities the subject is one that cannot be deferred.” The war paint thickens oil Lowry’s face. lie will leave nothing undone to apprehend and punish the prize fighters. The governor is especially incensed ut the Queen and Crescent road. That corporation will receive particular attention. Alaska seems to be the utmost bonn- dry of our continent and the suggestion ol reaching it by rail serves to excite more or less ridicule. And yet it may not be very many years before the traveller can take a car of the North ern 1’rcific Cowpany at Chicago and journey steedily over lines under the same control to the border of thilt remote and now almost unknown land. The Lightning's Flash. Chicago, July 10.—About 10 o’clock last night one of the heaviest thunder storms of recent years visited Chicago. At 1 o’clock on Thursday morning the thermometer registered 815°. The weather did not grow any cooler dur ing the night, and all day yesterday the heat was frightful. Moisture sur charged the atmosphere and made the sun’s rays unbearable. The electrical display that accom panied the rain was remarkable. A number ot buildings and residences were struck by lightning, but the damage in all cases was slight. Bains flooded the cellars in the southwestern portion of the city alld many base ments of down town business houses, doing great damage. Many cheap basement lodging houses were flooded and their lodgers driven out on the streets. The rapidity of the rainfall was unprecedented in this locality. In a period of twenty minutes it aggre gated one inch, and altogether reach ed 1.04 inches. Cincinnati, July 19.—About .‘i o'clock this morning a heavy rain storm came upon the city from the north, accompanied by severe thun der and lightning. The rain fell in such torrents that all the hill-side streets were flowing with angry streams. The bank of the Ohio ca nal at York street broke, and water poured from the canal iu a great flood. The cellars and first floors of several dwellings at that point were filled with water, and a stream several tcct deep rail down York street and Central avenue. The occupants of thc’first floors in some of the houses were rescued with difficulty. The rainfall here was 2.10 inches. Advices from oilier parts ot the state show that yesterday alternoon and last night heavy rains fell in many places. A cloud burst is reported at I.ancaslcr, which caused a big washout on the Columbus, Hocking Valley and Toledo railroad. Guano Forks, Dak., July ig.—The past few days have been extremely hot. Tuesday night there was one of the heaviest rainfalls that ever visited this section. Fittsiiuko,, Pa., July 19.—A special Iroin Parkersburg,AV. Va., says: “The greatest disaster which ever befell the Little Kanawha valley came last night in the shape of a terrible cloud burst, which has completely flooded the country, destroying many lives, carry ing off thousands of dollars o(property and ruining crops for many mil«.' The deluge fell here about dusk and continued to fall in torrents, doing much damage in the city. The worst of the storm struck the lower side of the Kanawha, filling its small tributa ries from bank to bank and ending in the worst flood within the recollection of the oldest inhabitant. In three hours the Kanawha rose six lect and ran out with such velocity that it carried everything before it. At this point thousands of logs and a number ol boats went out or were sunk. “The worst story comes from Mor- sistown, a small village near the head of Tucker creek, where a cloud burst concentrated in all of its fury, coming down in the village about midnight and totally destroying it, together with many of its people. The first report gave the loss at eleven, but later news seems to fix the loss at a greater number. The houses of the citizens are said to have been picked up and hurled against each other in such short space of time that no chance to escape was given the peo ple. Johnstown, Pa., July 19.—The business in Treasurer Thompson’s lit tle bank progressed smoothly to-day, and about 810,000 was paid our, mak- a total of $23,895 for two days. Five bodies were found to-day aud there arc indications that many more are under the debris where the men arc now working. Wonderful pro gress has been made of late, jn clear ing up. The workmen are so system atically distributed that they arc en abled to accomplished much more than formerly. New Yoke, July If).—John L. Sullivan at rived at the Pennsylvania depot at Jersey City by the limited express at 8 o’clock to-night, was yery much intoxicated and una ble to talk sensibly about anything. New York, July 19/—There was an unusually live time on the stock ex change to-day, and the bears had things very much their own way until the sharp rally which came just before the close. Richmond Terminal cut quite a figure iu the day’s dealings, ranging wilder in its fluctuations than almost anything on thq list. It open ed at 22 1 2, and under a vigorous at tack just about midday, was hammer ed down 10 19 1 a. The sudden drop made a decided sensation, and for an hour or so Wall street was full of ru mors as to the cause. SOME OF THE RUMORS AFLOAT. One story was that a big insider had tired of his load, and attempted to slip out ol his holdings. Another ru mor put it that the attack was Jay Gould's, with the idea of knocking the stock down, and then buying enough of it to give him control n| the prop erty. In other quarters it was said that it was not Gould but Alfred Sully, Simon Borg and their associates, who had raided the price with the idea of capturing the control. Still another story was that the property was about to go into the hands of a receiver. In a narrow ciicle of wiseacres it'was con fidentially whispered that the company was soon to issue another batch of stock, which would increase the pres ent capital several millions. Providence, July 19.—About o’clock Tuesday evening a big balloon passed over this city heading in a di rection that would have brought it up over Buzzard’s Bay and Vineyard sound in an hour or two. A great many people believe that the balloon was the missing Campbell airship. No balloon ascensions are known to have been made hereabouts recently. SEEN AT SEA. New York, July 18.—Pilot Phelan ol the pilot boat Caprice, whoFrought the bark Belt into port, reports that on July 16, in latitude 29° 30' and long itude 71° 40'he sighted Irom the ■masthead, at a long distance away, a balloon dragging its car along the sur face of the water. He gave chase to it, but at sundown, when about three- quarters of a mile from it, it collapsed and disappeared from sight. New Orleans, July 19.—Yester day wasTthe hottest of the season - The thermometer at the signal ser vice office registered 95°. Four per sons were reported prostrated by the heat, two of them having since died. Mdqiiarters for Drags!
