From our Regular Correspondent For the Democrat Will Mr. Harrison dare to jump into the breach in his party in the Senate? Helms h en asked, aye be;fed, by Senator Hoar, w ho recently expressed himself as prefer ring to see every manufacto ry in New England in ashes and the mechanics ml need to 50 cents a day and a diet of codfish than to see the fail ure of the Force bill, and his associates to come to the rescue. Mr. Harrison favors the? Election bill, and evry since his election he has bit terly hated Senator Q.niy on account of the patronizing matter with which he treated his highness; therefore if he did as he would like to he would throw the weight of his influence, w hich isn't very heavy after all,, against Mr. Quay; but he hesitates, be cause he fears that Mr. Quay may succeed in having his resolution shelving t lie Force bill and appointing Aug. 30, as a day for takinga vote on the tariff bill adopted by the Senate. Can Mr. Quay get his reso lutions passed? To whatex tent will the democrats sup port it? It now looks as if the first quest ion might be answered in the affirmative, and that the democrats in a body will support the Quay resolution; not because they endorse it but because they recognize in it a weapon to whack more than half the re- - I I ! ... .a .11 t pun nca-i pai i.vov.-riii.-in-a.l.ii in k-0.1. v.lio has an iri'iai-, Tli'Ml mo, rats u.add iau h itcl uftln- forui. :-, it-. ,f ... ... ,1 . . t '. ... 1 ... .l.i...

As soon as the Me-1 e;raph couid notify theseiiieu ami special traiiiscoiild brine them, a delegation was be- lore the Senate Finance com- mittee demanding, not li ter asking, what these mors' meant. The republi can members- of (hat commit tee humbly informed them that their interests should be taken care of as had been promised them when they made their campaign contri butions, and these robbers of the toiling millions leturn ed whence they came. Representative Raker, of New York wno enjoys theno toriety of being the only man who ever had a resolution re turned to him bv a .vote of the House, because of its bad taste, made an ass of him self again by offering a reso lution reflecting upon Mr. Milks because of his making tariff reform speeches. It was too much even for Speak er Reed, and hocertainly isn't over squeamish about such things. Mr. Raker was ask ed to withdraw the resolu tion but he refused, insisting upon having it printed in the Record. The Speaker then quietly ingored Mr. .'aker, and the House proceeded to business and he didn't get his resolution printed. Public opinion is a groit lever. Secretary Wiudom has decided that the juices Ijiaid by the government for silver bullion shall be made public. They never should have been hid. The republicans don't do much talking these days about a Congressional re-apportionment this year. Cause why; the Census shows that the South will gain in stead of lose Congressmen. Few weeks past Superinten dent Porter has worked his force night and day to get the count, completed in order that the re-apportionment might be made; but the re sult has not been just what anticipated, and re-apportionment will be made. The population of the country is in round numbers 04,000,000 Recognizing the fact that, the Congressional campaign this year was to be run on "call" and "boodle".

The principal conditions of a tornado are an unstable state of the atmosphere, steep vertical gradients of temperature, and an initial iryratory motion. The execs sively heated, saturated low er strata, burst up through the upper , over small areas', moisture is condensed into mist and rain, and the whirl ing motion, which is always from right to left, produces the characteristic funnel shaped cloud, Those condi tions prevail in the south east quadrant of an an a of low barometer, about two hundred miles from the cen tre. Tornadoes move from south west to north east, with an average velocity of 80 miles an hour, over an av ei-ae-o ; in tl 1 of .'UK) cards wide v i and 25 miles long, l errel calculates that the velocity of the nssending currents within the funnel must often exceed 200 miles, which ex plains its tremendous dest rue tive power. The region most favorable for tornadoes is the Missis sippi Valley. North Caroli na ranks tenth as a tornado State, only S3 having been recorded from 182G to 18!). They occur most frequently in April, May and June, dur ing the warmest part of the afternoon. The most de structive was the Richmond and Harnett county tornado of February ZUth, 18St, which killed 18 people andnot far distant when the destroyed OO buildings.

Whether yotl j jJ; indie a tuck or a pen, a wheel barrow or a set of books, digging ditches or ed it ing a paper, ringing an auc tion bell or writing funny things, you must work. If you look around my son, you will see the men who are most able to live the rest of their days without work are the men who work the hard est. Don't be afraid of kill ing yourself with overwork. It is beyond your powei to do that on the sunny side ot j thirty Fliev die sometimes, but its because they quit work at 0 p. m. and dontget home until 2 a. m. Its the interval that kills, my son.
