Cincinnati, . O.,. Sept. 2."). A siwcial
New Orleans despatch to the ' Tii,u:s says
that parties who arrived from Indianola
last night, and who were there during the
terrible cyclone, fully confirm nil the re
ports of the destruction of life and property
there. Out of three hundred houses only
five are left standing. During Thursday
night, while the storm was at its hight, the
water in the city rose over .six feet in two
hours, the wind blowing eighty-eight miles
an hour, driving the water and breakers
through the city at the rate of fifteen miles
an hour, sweeping everything in its way
and covering the plain in the rear of the
city for ten miles to a depth ol" several feet.
Several small settlements, numbering a po
pulation of 150, were also swept out of ex
istence, making with the 250 lost at In
dianol.t a total of 400 lives lost.
The gentlemen conveying this iuforma- j
tiou gave a most harrowing account of the ;
destitution of the survivors. When they j
left Indianola Monday afternoon ninety j
bodies had been recovered. The stench in i
the city from the putrefaction of these
bodies and with the stench Iroin detia am-
a .J uiiiiVJU iiiu'iiviai.r.v .v 43 niv
stated that a party of Mexicans Sunday be
gan robbing the dead bodies washed to the
iilain, four to six miles back of. the citv.

The scoundrels chopped fingers, hands and
cars from men
and women to obtain jew- j

Value of Road Dust.
During a dry season, every country resi
dent should secure several barrels of road
dust. Those who keep poultry may se
cure, by its use, a valuable fertilizer, near
ly as strong as guano, with none of its disa
greeable odor. Place an inch or two of
road dust in a bottom of a barrel, then, as
the poultry house is regular)' cleaned, de
posite a layer an inch thick of the clean
ings, and so on, alternately layers of each
till the barrel is full. The thinner each
layer is, the more perfect will be the inter
mixture of the ingredients. If the soil of
which the road dust is made is clayey, the
layers of each may be of equal thickness ;
if sandy, the layers should be at least twice
as thick as the droppings. Old barrels of
any kind may be used for this purpose, but
if previously soaked with crude pretroleum
or coated with gas tar, they will last man)
years. If the contents arc pounded on a
floor into a fine powder before applying, the
fertilizer may be sown from a drill, ltoad
dust is one of the most perfect deodorizers
of vaults converting their contents also into
rich manure. Dlace a barrel or box of it
into a closet, with a small dipper, and throw
pint into the vault each time it is occupied
and there will be no offensive odor what
ever. This is simpler, cheaper and better
than a water closet, and never freezes or
gets out of order. 31ixing road dust with
an equal built of road dust is an impreve
ment, making the fertilizer more friable.

The Life to Come.
AVhat does a man take with him when
from the extreme verge of life he launches
into what lies beyond ? It looks as if he
took nothing. le it the end, or be it a
new beginning, it seems a fatal breaking off
from all that life hitherto consisted in.
This is what makes it terrible.
Dutifwe look at it truly, his past life
is just the thing that a man takes with him
when he dies, lie takes himself. And
that self is the product of all his past ex
perience and actions. As an oak bears in
itself the result of every shower, that
through long years has freshened it, of every
gale that has toughened it or stripped its
boughs, of sunshine that has fed it and the
drouth that has parched it, so a man, when
he stands at the end of life, is what he has
been made by all his joys, sufferings and ac
tions. That is what he takes into another
world.
The life to come and the life that now is
are parts of one another. They are rela
ted. ,
lhe strength we gam by our victories
this year, and the weakness into which we
come by defeat, will be a part of us next
year. iSo, there is not an act, not a word
but casts its inlluencc forward into th
morrow that lies beyond death.
An eminent lawyer of Doston tells the
following story : A flashily-dressed young
sprig entered Den Dutler's office and was
requested by Denjamin to be seated. The
request was complied with, and the young
man was asked to state hirf business. ''Well,
Mr. I., what would be the first thing for
mo to do in order to learn the profession ?"
Denjamin fixed his weather eye upon the
nobby-dressed young man and surveyed
him from his flashy necktie to his- highly
polished boots and exclaimed : ''The first
thing you had better do would Ue to go
and roll in a barn yard." An answer came
as quick as the suggestion in the following
terse language. 'lt I should come and
study two years in your office, wouldn't it

Au Elephant Story .:
A Iettvr from TJuhop " ViIsoii ail ys T Te)!
my grandchildren that an elephant had ;
disease in his; eyes. For ihroc days ho had
been completely blind. - "His owner, an en
gineer o !licor, asked 1113- dear Dr. Webb if
he could do anything to relieve the poor,
animal. The doctor said he would try the
nitrate of silver, which was a remedy com
inonly applied to similar disease in the hu
man eye. The large animal was ordered
to lie down, and at first, on the application
of the remedy, raised a most cxtraordinrry
roar at the acute pain which it occasioned.
Tin; e!ieet, however, was wonderful. The
eye was in a manner restored, and thr
animal could partially see. The next day
when he was brought and lmard the doe
tor's voice, lie lay4 down' of himself, placed
his enormous head on one side, curled up
his trunk, drew in his breath just like a
man about to endure an operation, gave a
sigh of relief when it was over, and thett-y
b' trunk and gestureevidently wished to'
express his gratitude.

the product .of the rows which he pulled to
be nearly double that of thoe left in their'
former condition."

had just unloaded a hod full of brick, anc?
had the hod turned over and was in thiv
