On last Monday there arrived at Xew York on the steamer Arizona a larpe Irish harp, packed in a huge wooden box seven feet high, which is intended for exhibition at an Irish concert soon to le given for the benefit of the Par nell fund. The harp is several hundred years old, and was the last instrument played in Tara'd halls before the Irish Kings. It is valued at ?."i,0U0. The thanks of the country are due to Congressman Oates, of Alabama, who had the courage to oppose the proposi tion to use the public money for the re lief of the people in hi3 State wha suf fered from the recent floods. Such ap propriations are unconstitutional, arid although it would have made him pop ular at home to have supported the measure, yet he declined the popularity rhat would be gained by doing a wrong act. Ace oiuino to the latest and most re liable reports from Kansas the wheat Top in that State will be a comparative "ailure, and will not amount to more han two-thirds of the yield in former ears when the crop was an average Similar reports come from Michi n.

A wide difference of opinion prevails in Lon don regarding the Gnnl result. We knew it was coming and we had suspicion that Senator Loean would be its mouthpiece. This latter misfit i talesman declares that "all the present trouble in the business of the country .nd all the dissatisfaction among the 'iboring classes were directly traceable to the fact that the !) mocratic party controlled the reins of the government." The Senator does not use the full vealth of bis ammunition. There were me disastrous riots in P.elginm and ..irtbquake shocks in the Sandvich elands that might have been charged baleful Democratic influences John SnrrtMAX. of Ohio, introduced i bill into the Senate last week to pay .Villiam T. Crump 55,0i0 as a compen sation for injuries received while nurs ing 1'resident Garfield, Precisely how Crump was Injured is not stated, and even if it was it is no reason why the government should indemnify him. The general allegation is made that Ids health was seriously impaired by the constant nursing of the ex-Fresident. Admitting this to be true, the question in who is his debtor, the government or Mrs. Garfield? She is abundantly able to foot the bill and would never feel the loss. If Congress allows this claim it will be regarded as a precedent iu the future, and there will be no end to the bills that will be filed against the gov ernment by iH-rsons who happen to be employed at the White House when a President dies. If Mrs. Garfield won't pay Crump, then John Sherman himself ought to pay him. The man whom Crump nursed made Shermau Secretary of the Treasury, and it is not very ex tensively believed that he lost anything during his four years tenure of the of fice. Fkank II run's claim to a seat in Congress from the Tenth Ohio district as finally decided against bim on Wednesday of last week, by a vote of luO in his favo- to 1GS in the negative. This result took place in a Democratic House against one of the most promi nent and distinguished Democrats iu the country, which is a most notable thing, aDd one that we do not remember ever happened to a Republican in a Re publican House. When Thaddeus Ste ecs held the lash over a Republican House the contest for a seat was always f ecided fn favor of the man who be longed to the dominant party and not upon the merits of the case, the turning out of his seat of that battle-scarred he ro. General Shields, although indisputa bly elected, being the most conspicuous of Stevens" performances in that line. The unseating of Henry I). Foster, of the Westmoreland district in this State, in favor of John Covode, was only a little less in its downright injustice. More than forty Democrats voted rgainst giving the seat to Ilurd, and they did so on the simple ground that Ilurd had failed to satisfy the commit .ee that he bad received more votes than his opponent, Rome is. Hurd's friends in the district express their de- ermination to nominate him again next .'all and send him back to Washington with such a majority as will convince Congress that the popular voice of Maumeo cotititry :s largely ia his f.tver. Gov KiiNoii I'attison on cs.erlav week addressed a lengthy cotumunica- to Attorney General Gassidy embodying tli" results of his investigation in regard to the shameless mismanagement of the Soldiers' Orphans' Schools. In conclud ing his letter to Mr. Cassidy, which ia too long for publication in our paper, the Governor requests him "to exhaust all the power of your (his) Department to punish those who ha-e made them selves amenable to the criminal law, to enforce the rights of the State against those v:!io have defrauded her and to recover some of their ill-gotten gaios, if possible, from those who have grown rich by dishonest dealings with the State.'' On the same day the Gover nor dismissed Rev. J. W. Sayers and Mrs. Hntter, Inspectors of th schools, and also in a sharp letter to Rev. E. E. Iligbee requested that well known and distinguished gentleman to favor him with his resignation as Superintendent of the Soldiers' Orphans' Schools. The Governor can't remove Higbee, inas much as he is a Constitutional officer, and he exhausted his power over him by asking him to resign. Higbee, how ever, has no notionof resigning an of fice which yielded him last year ?j.2o0 as follows : 52,oOO as Superintendent of Public Instruction ; ?1,250 as Supeiin tendent of Soldiers' Orphans' Schools, and 52,500 for distributing the School Journal. The only way in which he can 1 e retired In nriofo lif ;a ., . . . . . - i impeachment by the lower branch of i the Legislature. Gen. Lewis Wagner. of Philadelphia, has been appointed In spector by the Governor, and he has consented to serve without pay until the Governor can find some other person to takr his place, as his health will not justify him in holding the position per manently. In pursuance of the resolution offered in Congress by Ex-Governor Curtin, which passed that body two weeks ago, for the appointment of a special com mittee to investigate the causes of the la'jor difficulties on the Southwestern railroBds, the Speaker, Mr. Carlisle, last week ramed the following gentle men as the committee : Curtin, of Pennsylvania ; Crain, of Texas ; Outh waite, of Ohio ; Stewart, of Vermont ; Parker, of New York ; Buchanan. ;of New Jersey, and Barnes, of Missouri. A leading Knight of Labor, who was at Washington urging the passage of the resolution, said after the announcement of the committee, that with the excep tion of Governor Curtin and Mr. Crain, of Texas, the composition of the committee is unfavorable to the workingmen, there being too many champions of railroad corporations among its members. Assuming this to be true we have no doubt that M.-ssrs. Curtin and Crain will see to it that all the facts in regard to the origin of the trouble are elicited, no matter whom they affect, and that they wi!l be fully emlnidied in the report which the com mittee will make to the House for what ever action it may take. Ali that Con gress wants is the facts, and any white washing report will meet with prompt public condemnation. Afier the com mittee has examined Mr. Powderly, Jay Gould and some others at Washington, it will proceed to St. Louis. ' Some of our Irish-American citi zens,'' says the Pittsburg I'ost, "are manifesting better judgment and infin itely more common sense in dealing with tbe Home Rule issue on this side of the water than are certain Americans to the manner born. The Rochester (N. Y.) T'nion, whose editor is an Irish American and a strong advocate of Home Rule for Ireland, criticises unfa vorably the action of the State Legisla ture in passing resolutions of sympathy with Parnell and Gladstone and the at tempt to have similar resolutions passed in the House of Representatiues. 'Nothing,' says the Union, 'could be better calculated to embarrass both Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Parnell at this mo ment than ill advised expression from official bodies, whether of government or of private organization that may be readily cabled over to London to inflame the English mind and further excite the English prejudice.' We are in clined to agree with the position taken by the Union. The opposition to Glad stone can point to these resolutions as proof that Irish-Amaricans are clamor ing for the establishment of Home Rule a consideration which will not help the measure in the minds or a certain class of Englishmen, whose support the Premier cannot dispense with. At any rate, Parnell's habitual reticence may be safely imitated by his friends on this side of the Atlantic." If Mr. Cleveland marries Miss Eol som, of Buffalo, sometime next June, as it is now believed he intends doing, James Buchanan will be the only bach elor President that the country has ever had. There have been four Presidents who were widowers at the time of their inauguration Jefferson, Jackson, Van Buren and Arthur, and sixteen were married men whpn they entered the White House. John Tyler is the only President who ever married while hold ing the office. This took place in June, 184 i, the bride being Miss Juliet Gardi ner, of New York. The ceremony was performed at the Church of the Ascen sion, in that city, and not at the White House. There are four widows of Pres idents living Mrs. Tyler, Mrs. Polk, Mrs. Garfield and Mrs. Grant, each of whom teceives a yearly pension of five thousand dollars. The nature and extent of Mr. Tilden's physical infirmities have been a suoject of newspaper controversy for many years. In a suit before the United States Circuit Court in New York last week, in which he was called as a witness, he testified in regard to his health as follows : "I have an affection of the larynx which so impairs the elasticity of the vocal cords that they will not come together, and air passes through without helping to form sounds and so reduces me to a whisper. There is no soreness nor apparent disease, but only a loss of elasticity that makes me talk with great difficulty and genrally in a whisper, excepting when I have a cold, under which the cords approach each other Utter.'' DEATH AM) RUIS. TerriMe Work of theC'jclone in Minne sota. St. Cloud, Minn., April 15. This city has been visited with a calamity, the ghastly details of which have never iieen equalled siiM'e me Harvest ui urmu I at Nw I'im and Rochester a few years I ago, and the community is grauing and : wailing under a pal! of grief that is in ; tei.siiied as each hour brings to light ; fresh evidences of the terrible work of ', the elements. When the sun rose or this city yesterday morning, happiness reigned in evry family and their peace was not marred by any shadow of the , terrible gloom that settled down on the ! community beiore the sun bad sunk to ! rest. A few minutes after four o'clock i the skies became overcast witl: a dark , cloud, and a great black mass rose over j the hills southwest of the city and came ! with terrible velocity toward the west : ern outskirts, in a direct line for the hung low and rolled over and over like smoke over a battle field, and were ac companied by a loud roaring and crack ing sound that resembled H coflagration iu its fury. The cloud was funnel shaped and the tail dragged alorg the ground like a huge aerial beast, lashing everything that came in its way into atoms. Citizens had hardly time to flee to their cellars and other places of ref uge before the whirlwind was on them and the air was filled with flying boards, shingles, bricks, aud other debris, that was strewn over the country and piled in promiscuous heaps. The portion of St. Cloud struck by the cyclone was the southwestern, and was the resident portion occcupied by W1H laul'Illllg ClilPS 111 lilt? '"'nr. n mr jul it v of them bring foreigners employed the Ltbrriiiiz class of the people, a ma- ou the railroads. Their dwellings were light-built houses and became an easy prey to the monster that 1 ad pounced upon them. They were little cockle shells in the grip of the whirlwind, and were picked up and tossfd into the air and torn into a thousand pieces, and scattered to the four winds of heaven. The earth was torn up in the path of the cyclone and the line over which it passed to a width of nearly a quarter of a mile, ami looks as though it had been upheaved by a terrific volcanic eruption. It had hardly begun its terrible work before it was finisned, and the scene that greeted the eyea of those who had escaped its fury was one that caused the stoutest heart to shudder. Cries and shrieks of wounded rent the air, and the ground was strewn with the dead bodies of men, women and children. SEARCHING FOR THE VICTIMS. Citizens almost to a man rushed to the demolish houses, and summoning physicians, began their woik of rescuing those who wtie still living from the pih'S of d:rt and fallen buildings. Unifn ard w;is promptly telegraphed to for medical help, and she immediately re sponded by sending a dozen ihsicians and smgeons bv special train, but it was late in the evening when they ariived on the scene. St. Paul and Minneapo lis vf ri; also aplealed to, and a special train was sent out with twenty-three surcf ons and physicians, for the scene ol the disaster. On the ground the snei w;is a ghastly one. The rain poured d;m n in torrents, and hundreds of mer. wan dr red over the ground, iv:'.t v cf I , m cairying lanterns, link ing for bodies among the ruins. The 1 t f -1 lobbies wer" filled with excited ciMzi-ns. many of whom suspected that some portion of their t ami lies or their friends h:id fallen victims to the terrible disaster. Women, st-em'ngly uncon scious of the r' i "i 'hat whs falling, ran through tqe sm ets sobbing and moan ing in their fright. It was S:30 :u the evening when the special car arrived from St. Paul and Minneapolis. The run was made in two hours, through a terrible thunderstorm. On the arrival of the train arrange ments were made to relieve as much as possible the sufferings of tho woundtd and rnrc- for the bodies of the dead, which were taken to the Little Giant engine he-use and laid out on the floor, while the wounded were taken to Sr. Benedict Hospital, where they were promptly caied for by a corps of physi cians and nurses, among whom were several ladies who had volunteered their services. There were twenty-eight wounded stretched out on cots in the various wards, and every facility of the hospital was tested to its utmost capac ity to meet the requirements. THE SCEKE IN THE HOSriTAI- 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 floor in two rows, draped in sheets and blankets, while around and among them moved men with lanterns, uncovering faces and trying to recognise in the distorted features ?oni" familiar line in in which they might trace relationship. The bodies piecented a teirible ppectacle. The clothes they had worn were torn in to shreds, their faces were black with dust, and gravel was ground into the cheeks, while the scalps w re torn and blood still flowed from sapping wounds and coveted the floor. Skulls were crushed, eyes torn from their sockets and tongues protruded from between lips and were cruelly cut and mutilated. THE RUINS AT ST. CLOUD. St. Cloud, Minn., April 13, The work of devastation in the district vis ited by the cyclone is complete, as the scattered fragments of what once were houses testify. The scene to-day was one to appall the strongest hearted. For a width of ftOO feet the tornado had leveled almost everything before It. An occasional building partly wrecked was left to tell tell the tale, as if by contrast with the ruins to be seen on every side. It is estimated that 400 structures were blown down, all of frame and not costly. Tne small residence? were mostly oc cupied by foreigners, whose names it has been impossible to ascertain with any degree of accuracy. In the Catholic hospital there are about forty wounded, but only five or six of them are considered to be in a dangerous condition. The loss will not go over 500.CMK1. The force of the storm was such as to wrench off the door of the safe in the post office ami carry it some distance from the build ing. The church bell weighing 1,5' )0 pound"! was found among the debris'4'X) feet from any building. The remains of the dead are almost unrecognizable, being completely crushed and black ened. There are a remarkable number injured about the hips and spine. Many of the survivors will be disabled for life. DREADFUL DEVASTATION AT SAUK n AFIDS. Sauk Ratids, Minn., April 15. The devastation caused bv the cyclone yes terday is terrible. Not a single busi ness house is left standing on the main streets, and many residences are de molished. The wind came from the southwest and swept, everything before it for a space of four blocks. The storm cloud was as blacR as night, with bright, clear sky on either side. The court house is now a heap of ruins, and sev eral of the county officers are killed. The Union school house, the Presbyte rian and Congregational churches, the postoffice, flour mill, and a large ma chine shop, were all converted into kindling wood in less time than It takes to tell it. What was the centre of the town in now covered with all sortp of debris, timber, p'eces of furniture, etc Only the City Hotel remains intact! The Northern Pacific depot was liter ally blown away, and a laige number of freight cars overturned upon the tracks. At the present time tw enty-two dead bodies have been recovered from the ruins, and a large number of people are injured. The bodies are laid out iu the nearest houses left standing, and several half demolished buddings are made to serve the purpose of a morgue. The spectacle is a sad one, the living being depiived Dot only of their friends, but of all earthly possessions at the same time. The total loss of property is not less than 5300,000, without a dollar of cyclone insurance. The town is nearly ruined. The living are caring for the wounded as well as possible, and physi cians from St. Paul, Minneapolis ard Braiuard are in attendance. St. Paul, April IS The EVou'ng Diipntch of yesterday has a special from St. Cloud which gives an accurate ac count of the killed and injured by the tornado as follows : St. Cloud Killed. 21 ; injured. SO. Sauk Rapids Killed, 37: injured, 100. Rice's Station Killed, 12 ; injured, 21. Adjacent country Killed, 3 ; injured, 12. Total killed, 73; injured, 213.

P., Superin tendent of Public Instruction .S' : In view of the recent disclosures of gross abuses. mismanagement and neglect in the Department of the Soldiers' Orphans' Schools, which have taken place during your incum bency as Superintendent. I deem it for the best interest of he State and of the schools that there should be a change in the official direction of that Depart ment. When you were appointed to your present office, last year, these abuses and this maladministration were un known to me. Had I known them I would not have regarded your continu ance in offire as beinej for the public interest. The exposure of them pro ceeded from a private source, and was not the result of your official act. In deed, you have certified in a letter to me, under date of March 0, 18s, that the charges were untrue and that the schools were properly managed. A thorough investigation has, on the other hand, convinced me of the existence of the abuses and evils alleged. The circumstances appear to me to demand your resignation as Superin tendent of the Soldiers' Orphans' Schools, and I therefore request that yon will give me an opportunity to ap point to the head of that department some one who will assist me in tho re organization of the school? and their superintendence in n way more in ac cord with my views of duty and the re quirements of the law, as to which we evidently so radically differ, and as to which harmonious views and action are of such importance for the well-being of the department. Yours respectfully, R()BT E. PATTfPON. The Bishop of Madrid Nhot at 1 he Cathe dral by One of His Clergy. At 10:"0 o'clock on last Sunday morn ing, while the Bishop of Madrid was ascending the steps leading to the en trance of the Cathedral, he was shot with a revolver by a priest standing at the top of the sfejis, the ball entering his abdomen. This was followed by another from the same source, which wounded the Bishop in the side, where upon the wounded man fell upon the steps. The priest then descended the steps and fired still another shot, which took effect in the Bishop's thigh. The assailant was then seized and his victim borne in an unconscious condi tion to a private chamber in the Cathe dral, where the last sacraments for the dving were administered to him. Being Palm Sunday, the Cathedral was more than usually crowded bv worshipers, and when th fearful work of the priest was realized furious mob followed the carriage in which he was conveyed to prison bv gend'armes, whose presence alone prevented a lynching. The mo tive for the crime was revenge. He was dismissed rrom the priesthood, and had fruitlessly applied to the Rishop to be reinstated Qjien fThristina has in quired into the Bishop's condition, and the Pope has telegraphed his blessing.
