JOHN CALDWELL CALHOUN.
An unpublished loiter from Mr. R.
M. T. Hunter, a Virginian Senator,
.rives some interesting facts concern-
rig AIi-. Calhoun’s last moments, and
'he views at that time of the South-
mmagnates. “‘Mr. Calhoun’s death,”
wrote Mr. Hunter, “was eminently
simple, calm and unaffecting—No dis
play or pretension, nothing for mere
effect. He knew that his mortal sick
ness was upon him, but he did not ex-
pect to die so soon. The evening be
fore his death he had his mail read to
him. commented upon some of the
betters. and directed his son to clear
up bis table, as he was wont every
night. In the night when he found
himself dying, he directed his son to
pack up his papers and watch and to
give his pencil to his son Andrew.
When speech left him he still show
ed signs conciousness by signs; and
beckoning to his son, squeezed his
hand and expired without pain and
without fear. He had always said t6 me
previously, and to others through his
-ickness, that he had ho apprehension
f death; that it was an event in rela-
km to which lie felt that he had no
right to entertain a wish. He was a
wn of few quotations, but one "which
he often used to me was that there
•• < is the same Providence on the fatal
•as the natal hour. He was not con
sulted as to his berth, nor did he be-
-* ve that liis wishes ought to weigh
or exist as to his death; such I sup
pose to have been his meaning. He
had a greater faith in his abstractions,
one and.all, than any man I ever saw,
and this was his abstraction, as 1
’ hink about death.”
“But," Mr. Hunter went on to say
you must not whisper to anyone. I
believe that he died under the firm
. impression that the South was betray
'd and gone. Indeed, lie told me it was
‘ i-etrayedthe last time I ever saw him,
Do not mention this, however. One
of the last thing he ever said to Judge
Butler, was: ‘Don’t despond Judge;
never despond!’ And if we mean to
>ght the battle we must not despond;
>i- if we do, we must not let the people
see it until all is manifestly useless.
1 Jay’s course and Foote’s eternal talk
about compromise have done more to
t down the tone of Southern feeling
1 han everything else put together.
Had Clay not taken the course he did,
el had not Foote and every South-
vivnan forborne to press compromises
•';i those who talked of nothing of the
'<*rt themselves, we might have got
ten, 1 think, a compromise say the
sue 30.30 through to the Pacific, with
• > recognition of slavery south of that
rue. Such, at least, is iny opinion.
Juchanan would have been "willing to
agree to this, I believe, and I think I
•. wv others in the North who would
kav* agreed to the same. The North
e. or not have severed the Union
sooner than submit to such a propo-
-it ion.”
M". OaMioun's death elicted glowing
• iiagios in both Houses in Congress,
•it the most impressive was that of
Henry Olay. Evidently standing on
.the brink of his own grave he went
onto say: “‘I was his senior, Mr. Pres
ident, in years- in nothing else. Ac-
ror:ling to the course of nature, I
• 1 t to have proceeded him. It has
* l^ve-cveed otherwise; but I know
that I shall linger here only a short
7 me, and shall soon follow him."

THE MINNESOTA CYCLONE.
c hie feature of the cyclones in the
Northwest has been the fearful loss of
life. The great cyclone in Georgia in
■875 did more real damage to crops
mid to property than the Minnesota
winds, but in some unaccountable
way there was general escape of life
-ami limb. Fifty dead bodies and two
hundred maimed in one small town is
a frightful record for Wednesday’s
•yclone-, while court houses, church
b«l!s, freight cars were blown from
t heir places and piled up in bewilder
ing confusion.
The advance in storm science, with
the dose and often accurate fore
casts of weather on the coast, should
be more closely imitated in the in
terior. The proposed cyclone signals
and special service wifi come under
general notice, and if the science of
meteorology has made enough advan
ce to foretell the black cloud and the
murderous wind it should, be put as
rapjtlly as possible into practical
execution. True there would be but
little recourse in case of a predicted
cyclone except to fly to storm pits as
t bf people stiii do in some sections of
Georgia, to-day.
The fierce and comparative frequen
cy of the cyclone may result in more
attention being paid to the building of
houses. Light airy structures on ex
posed hills and bleak places, or near
heavy timber, will be abondoned, and
bouses will be made as far as possible
storm proof as well as fire proof.
Then cyclone insurance policies will
also become more frequent in the
country, if possible, something should
be done to prevent houses being
crushed like cockle shells, and to pre
dict the coming of that beast in the
air, which, according to our telegra
phic accounts, “seemed to lash to
a toms with his tail everything along
fts path.”
Most Excellent.
J. J. Atkins, Chief of Police, Knox
ville, Tenn., writes: “My family and
I are beneficiaries of your most excel
lent medicine, Dr. King’s New Discov
ery for consumption; having found it
to be all that you claim for it, desire
to testify to its virtue. My friends to
whom I have recommended it, praise
it at every opportunity.”
Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con
sumption is guaranteed to cure
Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Asthma,
Croup and every affection of Throat
Chest and Lungs.

The Western Cyclone.
St. Cloud, Minn., April 16.—Relief
is rapidly coming in for the cyclone
sufferers. The scene in St. Benedict
hospital was heartrending. Men.
women and children lay in broken
shapes, bathed in their own blood
and faces blackened and grimy and
arms and legs broken and
scalps torn and bodies lacerated.
The scene at the engine house was
more horrible. Eighteen lifeless
bodies were stretched on the fioor m
two rows, draped in sheets and blank
ets, which around and among them
moved men with lanterns un
covering faces, trying to recognize
in the distorted faces some familiar
line in which they might trace re
lationship. Thebodies presented
A TERRIBLE SPECTACLE.
The clothes they had worn were torn
into shreds, their faces were black
with dust, and gravel was ground into
the cheeks, while the scalpslwere
torn and blood still flowed irom gap
ing wounds and covered the floor.
Skulls were crushed, eyes torn from
their sockets, and legs and arms bro
ken.
Jt requires an act of Congress to en
able Southern families to recover the
silver ware of which their houses were
plundered by “the nation's heroes ’
during the war. Many of “the na
tion's heroes" were, and still are, very
ordinary thieves. It was the prospect
of plunder that induced them to en
list, and in their robber forays they
spared nothing either sacred or pro
fane. And the Government and pub
lie sentiment at the North has persist
ently upheld them in it all.— Ishmael-
