The hurricane at Kansas City, though destructive of life, did not do a very great damage to property, the total losses being only $150,000, a portion of which is covered by storm insurance. The French papers give an account of a vegetable material which, they claim, will eventually prove an excel lent substitute for wool. They name it berandine, and if any importance is to be attached to the enthusiasm with which they speak of it, France will soon be providing the world with ber andine garments, at less than half the cost of the all-wool raiment, now so highly prized. A prospect of very active railroad building exists at the west, where five leading corporations have already projected 3,000 miles of branches, extensions and feeders, to 'be built within the next eighteen months. These are some of the cases of hope fulness which occur in the midst of the prevailing depression, and would im part considerable stimulus to trade were the labor troubles once out of the way. The city of Guatemala contains 60,- 000 inhabitants. Last winter a French opera troupe played a two months' engagement to crowded houses every night. This single fact shows that the Central American cities are not very far behind ours. Guate mala has electric lights, telephones, and good hotels The cities of Mexico, Central America and South America are rapidly wheeling into line with the cities of the United States. Washington City is growing almost as rapidly as any commercial city in the country. It is now decided to ex tend its corporate limits very greatly on the north, to take in a populous s'uburb which requires the presence of street improvements and police pro tection. The strictly business in crease, however, does not keep pace with the increase of population. The numerous attractions of the national capital claim a large number of peo ple and will continue to do so. Dr. Billings, surgeon of the United States army, has been furnishing docu mentary evidence of the health of this country. In his report for the tenth census he informs us that the annual increase in population due to the ex cess of births over deaths is 878,522, and that the mean annual birth rate for the past ten years has been 36 per cent. With children coming at the rate of nearly 1,000,000 a year, the prospect is that the vaqant lands of the West will be rapidly filled up. Kansas had a queer provision on its statute book, which has seemed practically to postpone hanging. The murderer is condemned to an indefi nite imprisonment in the penitentiary, the governor being given the right to hang him whenever he chooses. The whole responsibility for hanging is thus thrown on the latter's shoulders. Governor after Governor has refused to accept this responsibility and passed the murderers over to his suc cessor. There are forty-one of them now in the penitentiary awaiting pun ishment and who can be hung any day the Governor chooses. The report on vital statistics for che census of 1880, although just com pleted, presents some matters of in terest. A table is given of fifty prin cipal cities of the Union, showing the greatest number of deaths from speci fied causes for every 10,000 inhabit ants. Excluding immigration, the an nual increase of population yearly for ten years by the excess of births over deaths was 878,522. The mean an nual birth rate tor the United States is given as thirty-six per 1,000. The death rate is shown to have been high er in the colored than in the white population, in the foreign element than in the whites of American par* entage, in the cities than in the rural districts. Dr. Pallen, a well-known western .physician, is of the opinion that the practice of medicine will be revolution ized within the next tew years. We will live, he says, to see the student sind successful practitioner of to-day retire altogether from the actual prac tice of medicine amd establish himself as a consulting physician only. The learned sugeon or physician of the fu ture will give his lime and attention to the prevention rather than to the -cure of disease. It is no great trick to learn to set a fractured bone or pre- :v scribe a dose of salts. Suueh things y* will be relegated to a class of pratfa tioners about on a par with what are ^\now called nurses. Hygiene and san itation will be the study of the physi jk^cian of the future, j^awagjutw^^^w.^^j^jgi^rrpr PBOCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. SENATE.Mr. Hoar -submitted a resolu tion directing the committee on commerce, when-reporting the river and harbor bill, to report the facts on which each item of the bill is based, the Teason why each of the items of proposed appropriation is ad visable and of national importance, and also to furnish a statement of the condi tion of the work _ already begun. Re ferred. A resolution offered by Mr. Logan was agreed to directing the committee on pen sions to report back to the senate the In galls' bill providing for the repeal of the limitation on arrears of pensions. The interstate commerce bill was placed before the senate. Mr. Ingalls' amendment was agreed to, giving to the commissi on.the right to rej ort to the United States cir cuit court and get its speedy judgment on complaints whenever the companies decline to obey the order of the commission. Considerable debate arose among Messrs. Beck, Aldrich, Wil3on (La.) Brown. Sew ell, Stanford, Van Wyck, McMillan and Gorman as to the effect of the bill in its amended condition and as it might be fur ther modified by various proposed amend ments. Mr. Stanford said: If the bill passed it meant complete com mercial disaster. In reply to a question by Mr. Van Wyck as to whether the Pa cific roads had not controlled the Pacific Mail Steamship Line by paying it $1,000,- 000 ayear in order to stop competition, Mr. Stanford said the railroads had chartered so many tons in these ships, paid for them not so much as had been statedand filled them with such freight as they did not want to carry on the roads but that was done, not to stop competition in a proper sense, but to preclude ruinous com petition. So far as the railroads were con cerned, it was business. Mr. Sewell said if the bill became a law with the Camden amendment in it,it would destroy the railroad system that we had been fifty years in building. HOUSE."-Under the call ofstates the fol lowing biEs, etc., were introduced and re ferred: By Mr. Adams, (Ills.) calling on ttie sec retary of treasury for a detailed statement of all sums expended by the different mints and assay officers from the fund known as the silver profit fund. By Mr. Dingley, to limit the commercial privileges of vessels of foreign countries in the ports of the United States to such privileges as are accorded to American vessels in the ports of such foreign countries. By Mr. Breckenridge. (Ky.) a preamble and joint resolution for the calling in of bonds. By Mr. Beach, amending the rules so as to subject to a fine of $100 every member who is absent during a call of the house. By Mr. Bland, relating to coin notes and gold and si!\er certificates. SENATE:The interstate committee bill was taken up. Mr. Sewell's amendment, requiring ten days' notice of reduction of rates, was withdrawn. An amendment of fered by Mr. Wilson (Iowa), which would punish men who knowingly ask for or re ceive reduction of rates was rejected. Considerable debate arose on an amendment of Mr. Plumb's offered for him in his absence by Mr. Ingalls, prohibiting members of congress, officials of the government and their families from accepting free passes, and prohibiting rail road companies from giving them such passes or reduced rates. The amend ment was finally, on motion of Mr. Logan, laid on the table Mr. Hoar presented a memorial of the Republican central committee of the state oi Ohio, charging that the election of Hon. Henry B. Payne to the United States sen ate was secured by bribery, fraud and cor ruption, and requesting that the senate in vestigate the matter. Referred to the com mittee on privileges and elections. Mr. Blair, from the committee on pen sions, has reported favorably the bill which has once passed the senate, giving a pension to every honorably discharged soldier of the late war who is disabled, and de pendent parents of soldiers who died in ser\ ice or from disabilities contracted. HouseThere was a little breeze in the house in the discussion of the army bill. Mr. Grosvenor moved to strike out the appropriation for the judge advocate gene ral's department. He said that the de partment decided cases without any knowl edge of law, and that the system followed by the department was outrageous. Mr. Wheeler (Ala.) said that Gen. Holt had been appointed judge advocate general in order that Gen. McClellan might be struck down. Mr. Hepburn replied to some remarks previously made by Mr. Bragg, in which he alluded to him (Mr. Hepburn) as the "boil ing pot from Iowa." Mr. Wheeler regreted that Mr. Hepburn had seen fit to make some allusion to him. In all matters of legislation he never looked behind he only looked before. Every act of his was taken for the purpose of adding by his feeble efforts to the great ness of this country. It became his duty in this house to defend Abraham Lincoln and Gen. Grant against charges and gross assaults. He had made no charges against Lincoln. The charges had been against the archconspirator, Mr. Stanton [hisses on the Repub lican side,] who had sought and attempt ed to break down officers of the army who had not sustained the line of policy he had sought to inaugurate. Mr. Hepburn said: Stanton was theone who had brought the confederate banner to the dust and destroyed the "lost cause." He is dead now, and yet you try to black en his memory, though you live to-day be cause that man was willhvg, among others, that you might live, and not have the hal ter that you had won around your neck. [Applause on the Republican side.] Mr. Hiscock spoke in defense of Stanton. The moyen to strike out was lost82 to 92. SENATE.The Cullom interstate com merce bill passed the senate to-day by a vote of 47 to 4. After being amended to destroy the intended effect of Senator Cam den's amendment, which required railroads to charge the same rates per ton per mile for a long distance that was charged for a short distance. The effect of this section as finally adopted is to apply the short-haul principle to a larger number of instances than it did as originally reported from the com mittee, but it, does not reacli so far as intended by the Camden amend ment. It is a compromise between the two extreme views. It does not make the rate between New York and Chicago, for example, the maximum i ate th could be charged between intermediate points, but it does prohibit railways from charging a higher rate for a shorter than for a longer distance on all shipments from any given point, of arrival. As the Camden amend ment originally stood, the rate from Chi cago to New York was the highest that could be charged, and between intermediate points the rates were to be proportionate, according to distance. The bill in other respects stands as \t was originally reported. Senator Cullom says that he is satisfied with the measure as it stands, and thinks the amendment in its modified form improves the bill and reaches the evils that are complained of. Mr. Morgan offered an amendment de claring the proposed commissioners to be executive officers merely, and denying them legislative and judicial powers. This was rejected. The bill then came to a vote and was passedayes 47, nays 4. The nega tive votes were those of Messrs. Brown, Colquitt, Morgan and Ransom. Anumber of pairs were announced. HOUSE.Mr. Brumm, rising to a question of prfyilege, stated The KecorS this morninjr -was i Incorrect. It made Mr. Wheeler (Ala.) use the lan guage yesterday, "The conspirator, E. *M. Stanton," while the language employed had been "The arch conspirator Edwin M. Stanton." Mr. Wheeler admitted that he had used the prefix "arch," but stated that he had struck it out from the Record because it had stirred up some feeling in the house. The correction was ordered made. The house then went into committee of the whole on the diplomatic and consular ap propriation bill. SENATE.The general pension bill was de bated. Mr. Blair of N. H., did not believe that the amount of money involved would exceed $25,000,000 ayear. Mr. Berry of Ark., thought it time to call a halt. He did not believe the Unioa sol diers wanted this bill. As a rule they were men able to take care of themselves. Democrats and Republicans, however, had vied with one another in giving pen sions to the soldiers of the late war, while the Mexican soldiers were neglected and ig nored. Mr. Logan differed with Mr. Berry as to the paraKel between the Mexican sol diers and the soldiers covered by the bill. He would, at the proper time, move that no pension hereafter paid to any soldier should be less than 8. We had some pensions of $1 and $2 a month. Mr. Teller interposed to saji that there were over 26,000 cases of $2 a month pensions. Mr. LoganWhat a magnanimous pension! Great God! Mr. President, is not this rob bery? Is not thisdestroying the peace ofthe people of this country? The senate passed a bill appropriating $10,000 to pay the expenses Of an expedi tion to observe the total eclipse of the sun, which occurs on Aug. 29 next. The secre tary of the navy is to have the expedition in -marge and the observation is to be made at or near the port of Benguela, on the west coast of Africa. The senate passed a bill establishing a new circuit of the United States courts in the West. At present the Eighth circuit consists of all the West and Northwest be tween the Mississippi river and the Rocky mountains, and the Ninth circuit consists of the states of the Pacific coast. The bill which was passed provides: The Eighth circuit shall include only Ne braska, Kansas, Arkansas and Colorado the Ninth circuit shall include Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri while the Tenth district is to include the district of the Pacific coast. After the passage of the act the present judge of the Ninth circuit shall be judge of the Tenth circuit, and a new judge shall be appointed for the new Nintli judi cial district, as designated by the bill. The senate passed a bill granting the Jamestown & Northern a right of way through the Devil's Lake Indian reserva tion in the Territory of Dakota, 200 feet wide, with grounds for station and depot purposes, upon the terms and conditions mentioned in a certain treaty made in 1883 between the Indians at the De\ il's Lake res ervation and to the railroad company. The amount of compensation thereby agreed to be paid the Indians shall be deposited in the treasury of the United States to the credit of the Sisseton, Wahpeton and Flat head Sioux, occupying the Devil's Lake reservation, within sixty days after the passage of the act, to be expended by the secretary of the interior for the benefit of the Indians. HOUSEA resolution was adopted call ing on the president for information as to what steps had been taken for the investi gation of the seizure of the schooner David J. Adams by the Canadian authorities. Mr. Rice, (Mass.) a,rgued in support of the proposition. He cited historical parallels, and said. When England, through her carelessnsss, had let loose the cruisers which had driven our commerce from the sea, the United States had enacted indemnity, and he trusted that there would be now an arm as long and a voice as strong to exact in demnity from England for -the injuries her subjects were now perpetrating and seeking to perpetrate upon American fishermen. The Rock Springs Chinese indemnity res olution was discussed without action, and the diplomatic appropriation bill was passed. The bill enlarging the sphere of the department of agriculture was consid ered. SENATE.Among the petitions was one from a dozen citizens of Iowa presented by Mr. Allison, praying for the abolition of "the American house of lords." Referred Mr. McMillan, from the committee on commerce, reported favorably Mr. Hoar's resolution requiring that committee, when reporting the iiver and harbor bill, to state the facts that show the national impor tance of the several pieces of work and why each item of appropriation is advisable. Agreed to. In discussing the pension bill and referring to the Revolutionary war and the period at which pensions were given the survivors, Messrs. Vest and Hoar differed as to the date when the war closed. Hr. Hoar emphasized the accuracy of his citation by reminding Mr. Vest of a fact that he (Mr. Hoar) thought would commend itself to many of Mr. Vest's constituents. Gen. Washington, at the time cited by Mr. Hoar, had combated the events referred to by the issuance of double rations of rum to the soldiers. Mr. Vest retorted: Massachusetts had made much more out of rum than Missouri had. Rum had been the principal sta ple in the trade of Massachusetts for a great many years. Trading rum for negroes and selling the negroes to the South had so enriched the people of Massachu setts that they had ever since been sensi tive on the subject of both negroes and rum, and they were now undertaking to a large extent to prohibit rum after having exterminated slavery. Mr. Vest criticised the course of the senate in lately passing a large number of private pension bills with out even reading them. HOUSE.Private bills were considered, and one of them gave rise to a somewhat pro tracted debate on the tariff. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. It is now cllimed that whole cloves are better protection against moths than either tobacco, camphor or cedar shavings. Hard cider vinegar may be made by adding one part of water to two parts of cider and allowing it to stand for a few days. To cleanse tumblers in which milk has been used they should be first washed in cold water *and% then rinsed in hot water. A strip of old black broadcloth, four or five inches wide, rolled up tightly and sewed to keep the roll in place,is bet ter than a sponge or cloth for cleansing black and dark-colored clothes. What ever lint comes from it in rubbing is black, and does not show. The most advanced physicians now combat the idea that it is unhealthy to eat just before retiring for the night. Of course a hearty meal is not advisa ble, but just enough light and whole some food to give the stomach some thing to do will aid in producing sleep and sound rest. Dried herring makes an excellent relish. Split, skin and bone, cover tvith cream, and heat through in the oven. Place each one on a strip of buttered toast, thicken the cream with flour, season well, pour it over the fish, and give each a dash of lemon, and send it to the table hot. CAXAMITYATXEMA, OHIO.

It isheai'd of in Illinois, through Indiana and Ohio, and at Winchester, Va. Here there has been an unusual electrical disturbance for the past three nights. On Mond ay night there was almost uninter rupted lightning from 11 p.m. until 6 a.m. Tuesday night a similar condition existed, accompanied by heavy rains and hail, the latter of very narrow range. Last night there was another electrical storm, with heavy rain and hail. The Xenia storm, however, was much more furious.

A dispatch from Odell, HI., of the 12th says: At 3:45 p. m. to-day a terrible cy clone struck this village, which demolished one brick block, wrecked three warehouses, unroofed the hotel, Masonic hall, and four store buildings, and destroyed the upper story oi the Angell block in which were the Odell bank and Odd Fellows' lodge. Scarce ly a store in town escaped injury. The loss will amount to $50,000. Houses, barns and sheds were twisted off their foundations and completely destroyed. Trees a foot in diameter were twisted up. The storm V*"5,$V tK&-~ ,W.*T-,.. j...*_^,-4.. nr^1*-" w^ijir: ^#f "ll did not last over five minutes. Ten minutes before it came the air seemed to get green. Two clouds seemed to advance, one from the southeast and one from the southwest and met over the town, forming a monstrous whirlwind. The large livery barn of Bord Bros, was completely demolished. The large three-story mill was blown off its foundation and wrecked. The two-story brick hardware store of S. S.Cole is a total wreck. The hotel is injured badly. Not a whole window remains in the building. A number of residences were badly wrecked. The streets are filled with prostrated trees and other debris. The new school building is partly unroofed. A one-story school building is completely destroyed. The Congregational church is twisted in bad shape. The Methodist church has one steeple blown off.

Milwaukee special- Jndge Malloryin the municipal court fined a hired boycotter $25 and costs. It was shown that the defendant, Seidel by name, and others distributed boycotting handbills in front of Adolph Fienhold's bakery. The bills requested everybody to withdraw patron age from Mr. Fienhold, as he was running a "non-union" shop. The proprietor had several times ordered the man from his door, but without effect. Judge Mallory, in passing sentence, said The boycotting of Mr. Fienhold was an outrage, though the defendant and others had been urged on by demagogues. Such interferences with a man's business wereunlawful. Thejudge was surprised that citizens had stood this sort of persecution as long a^ they had. Boycotting was nothing less than mob law. The fine imposed was the extreme penalty under the disorderly conduct ordinance. B. S. Glidden, Sioux Falls, right eminent grand commander Marc A.

Dr. Reynell Coates, who once slapped Andrew Jackson in the mouth, died recent ly at Camden, N. J. The president has nominated John E. Fitzgerald of Boston to be collector of in ternal icvenue, in place of Eben F. Pills bury, rejected by the senate. It was under stood that Mr. Pillsbury was to be retain ed in office until the adjournment of con gress and theu be reappointed, but the president evidently did not give any such assurance as claimed or he has refused to carry it out.

Crossen, The Dalles, Or. also John Priest, collector of customs, district of Yazuana.Or. Senator McMillan introduced a bill appropriating $1,300 to pay Charles A. Ruffee the balance due him as agent of the White Earth Indian agency which was consolidated in 1880. The secretary of state has received a re port from Consul Brigham at Paso del Norte, Mexico, in regard to the killing of Capt. Crawford, U. S. A., by Mexican sol diers in July last: He says: There is no way of obtaining definite information, owing to the absence of witnesses, but it is conceded on both sides that the attack was made by irregular Mexican troops em ployed by the state of Chihuahua, through an unfortunate accident, and without malice. The depredations committed in Mexico by Indians nurtured by the United States government is a grievance that can not be well overlooked. The affair is being investigated by the Mexican authori ties. An extensive lock out of striking tailors in Chicago has been inaugurated. This means that 20,000 to 25,000 sewing peo people, men and women, were denied work. The employers are resolved that it will continue until the strikers withdraw the demands they have made through the boss tailors for an advance. The Millers' National association met in special convention at the Grand Pacific, Chicago, about 350 millers being in attend ance. Much of the usefulness of the asso ciation has been its effectiveness in fighting patent suits. It has carried on seven suits. MHHESOTA STATU MW& in a few moments placed him bej ond the^ reach of courts and juried. Two farmers named Drayton and Ball, brothers-in-law, got into a quarrel near Pelican Rapids during which the Utter shot at the former. Fortunately the sL failed to reach its mark. Ball has been arrested. Burglars blew open the safe in the post office at Caledonia and secured about ?3,- 000 in notes which were afterward found in a field. A four-year-old daughter of M. Blake, of Three Lakes, Redwood county, was killed by the accidental discharge of a gun. I James Rusk, formerly a well known resi dent of Douglas county, was waylaid and murdered near Spokane Fall*, Wash. Tramps burglarized SIK houses in Brain erd the other night, securing small amount? of booty. E. R. Blomgrew has been appointed post i master at Blomford. For five years or more the ufustees and i faculty of the Seabury diwnity school at Faribault have been unanimously in favor I of removing that institution to Minncap ohs or St. Paul. The only circumstance pre\enting such action was the dissent of Bishop Whipple, who feared the conse quences of subtracting from the institu tions of the church at Faribault, which is in some sense the ei.clesinstual capital of 'the state. Howe\er, this obstacle has I been lemoved. and the bishop formally i consented to the remo\al, acknowledging the weighty reasons that influenced him in coming to this conclusion. As %et there I has been no official determination as to the new location. The annual meeting of I the tiustees will occur June'J, when th matter will be considered. !^t. Paul arms her police with Winchester rilles to be used when occasion requites. Articles of incorpoiation of the Lake Superior, Ortoinillp it Southwestern Rail road company have been filed with thesec retary of state.
