The Louisville Calamity.
The funeral of the persons killed by the
fallinga of the Chinch in Louisville, took
Place on Monday, tlee stores being closed
and the bells tolled, at the suggestiod of
the Mayor:. The services took place in the
First Presbyterian .Church, (Rev. Dr.
Breckenridge's) which was densely crowd
ed. The bodies of the dead were placed
upon a platform of the tower, and the exer
"cises were conducted by several clergymen.
The spacious yard attached to the church
also crowded. •
At the opening of the e xercises the Rev.
Dr. Morrison, who officiated at the ill-fated
church, remarked that on the Sabbath that
had proved so disastrous to life, he was re
quested to Preach' but it was not geneally
•known that there would be divine service,
hefted the small number that were assem
bled, there not being more than 85 persons
in the house at any . time on Sunday. On
next Sunday it was expected that the pastor
recently invited would be installed"
During the sermon, which had been com
menced later than usual, the storm came
9p and the main door of the basement room
where the meeting was being held,- was
blown open. An elder of the . .church im
mediately rose and closed it again. The
door was forced open a second time, and
again closed. A third time the door was
forced open by the violence of the wind, not
withstanding the elder was pressing against
it at the time. -Instantly the whole house
was filled with particles of sand. The speak
er had his eyes filled with fine dust, as well
as his audience. This caused some distur•
fiance in the assembly, and most of the per
sans rose to their feet, and some jumping out
cf the windows near where they where sit
ting.
Dr. Morrison said he had not time to re
cover from the effects of the gust of wind
shot struck him with particular fury, before
he heard a cracking sound over head, and
in a moment of time after the tempest blew
open the door. with such violence, the whole
walls had fallen: Immediately about the
pulpit in which he was standing the plas
tering was not broken, and to his right sev
eral old ladies escaped unhurt. He express
ed himself as being greatly shocked at the
suddenness of- the calamity, and when he
fairly recovered from the blindness caused
by the ascending dust, a most terrible sight
presented itself before him. He saw two
men already dead, the head of another man
greatly mangled, just appearing among the
rubish ; a lady clasping her child in the ag
ony of death, and a yoting lady with her bo-'
dy bent across one of the seats and her face
most horrihlyedistorted. Prom different
parts- of the building he could hear the
emits of the dying and the stifled screams
of the crushed.
Of the injured pers.one, only one, Mrs.
Marshall, has yet expired. Miss Duff is in
a very precarious condition. Another Mrs.
Marshall, is not expected to recover. The
other injured parties are in a fair way to re
cover.
Capt. Greenlow, of the steamer Memphis
which boat was badly damaged, thus de
scribes the tornado :—He was on his boat,
standing on the forecmtle, when the first
blast of the hurricane struck her. Ile saw
the block'of the houses of Mr. Beatty crum
ble to the ground, and before he could utter a
warning cry a those around, the storm was
upon him. He clasped his arms around a
staunchion to uphold himself, and in the
same instant heard a rushing sound over his
hand, and a noise that was likened to the
crack of an immense wagon whip. He
saw the greater part of his cabin root, and
the entire railing; pass over his head, and
alight upon the river; 50 to 75 yards ahead
of him. A moment after, the hull received
a terrible blow, and.was whisked.from its
moorings overto a reef of rocks in about the
space of time it required to draw a breath.
Alexandtr Hamilton.
Alexander Hamilton was one of the men
.nbuut whom Mr. Webster loved to speak,
lie entertained for his character the highest
Teseect and admiration. Mr. Webster
was fond of instituting historical parallels.
He thought that there was a striking resern-.*
blimce in the histories of the younger Pitt
and Hamilton. They were both men of
premature" intellectual strength. They both
attained renown at very early periods of life.
Pitt was made Prime Minister when he was
twenty-four years old, and Hamilton had
written some of his best essays on the
financial condition of the country when
he had not passed that age. There was al-.
so a striking resemblance in their style of,
composition and turn 4,rnind. They were
both men of great determination and of in
domitable courage. Both were conserva
tive in their politics and cared little for pop
ular clamor. They were both eminent
Fi
n¢¢nciers. Pitt, by his genius and skill, was
'the pilot' who w,eathered the storm, when
Ertgland was surrounded with impending
ruin ; and Hamilton was the great Ameri.
can Secretary, who "smote the rock of the
national resources, and abundant streams of
revenue burst forth; and touched the dead
corpse of the public credit, and it sprang
Upon its feet." Both were the leaders and
idols of their respective parties, and were
consequently maligned and hated by oppo—
sing factions. Hamilton was a brave and
• accomplished soldier; Pitt, though he had
never "led a squadron in the field," carried'
England in safety and triumph through a
long and bloody war. Pitt was the best
parliamentary debater and orator of his time
in England ; and Hamilton was equally dis
tinguished among the orators and debaters
of America. Pitt was the favored' minister
of his sorereign.; Hamilton was the cherish
friend, associate and favorite of Washington.
Cincinnati Gazette.
This h the Age of Inventions•"
It is truly said that the Nineteenth Cen
tury is an age of inventions. Every day
We see chronicled some new and "valuable
improvement." The last important inven
tion, and which we think will work admi
rably is an improvenient in thelrakes on rail
read cars. It is the invention of a* gentled
man named Henry Miller, or Detroit, and
consists as we learn of a small iron cy fin
der, of about four inches in diameter, in
which Is a piston, to the rod of which is at
tached levers, by which the brakes are
worked. Each car is supplied with one of
these cylinders about its center, which are
fastened to its underside between the wheels;
and mental pipes, with necessary stop-cocks
run the length of each car, supplying the
steam for the working of the piston, which
moves the brakes.
A trial was made on the Pontiac Road, at
a speed of 30 miles per hour, and the train
was stopped in twenty seconds, or within
a distance of 550 feet. The advantage of
this improvement consists in the perfect com
mand that it gives the engineer of his train.
There is no time but what an engineer can
see danger on the track more than forty
rods ahead, but while he is whistling for the
brakesman to apply the brakes, the forty or
fifty rods is• passed, and the obstruction is
close at hand, before the speed of the train
can be checked. By This invention the bra
' kers are applied with immense power at the
I moment the Wenger is perceived, and with
a well constructed apparatus in perfect or
der, any train can be brought to a stand still
in about the same time it takes to blow the
whistle.—lndependent W/zig.
A I►itosophical WIMIRD•
As an exhibition of the right kind of peo
ple for this world, we give place to the fol
lowing letter of a woman to her husband in
California. It is bad enough-for a woman
to be left to her own resources, without be
ing visited with other misfortunes in addi
tion. She appears to take things easy—as
she should
"My Dear Husband—As it is some time
since you left us for California, I suppose
you would be glad to here how we are get
ting along in your abserice. lam happy
to say that we are all enjoying very good
health on the whole. Just at present two
of the boys have gcit the small-pox, Aman
da Jane has got the typhus fever, Betsy is
down with the measles, Samuel got hooked
by a cow the other day, and little Peter has
just chopped off seven of his fingers with
the hatchet. It's a mercy he didn't chop
them all off. With these trifling exceptions,
we are all well and getting along nicely.—
You needn't be at all anxious about us.
'I almost forgot to say, that Sarah Matilda
eloped hist week with' a tin-pedler. Poor
girl ! she's been waiting for the last ten
years for a chance, and Um glad she's mar
ried at last. She needn't have taken the
trouble to elope, though, for I am sure I was
glad enough to have her go. She was a
great eater, and I find the baked beans don't
go off near so fast as they did. The way
the girl would dig into pork and beans was
a caution to he rest of the family.
'The cow took it into her litad•yesterday
to run away, which was very unfortunate,
I'm sure, for the barn caught fire last night
and was consumed. I was in hopes that
the house would go too, for its very incon
venient, but the wind was the wrong way,
so i,t didn't receive much injury.
'Some boys went into the orchard the oth
er night and stripped, all the\ fruit trees. I
am very glad of it, for if they hadn't I pre
sume the children would, have 'nude them
selves sick by eating to Muck fruit.'--.llba
