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 An unpublished loiter from Mr.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."

YOUELER CO Dec. 22, 1885. 25% BALTIMORE, HD« 24 ly 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.

W. Cara kick, Clerk. 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- ite. * Ky., Egg Rotary f PATENTS GRANTED.
