THE STORM IN CANADA.
The Late 8torm Takes a Trip
Across the Border.
Montreal, Jan. 12, The tail end of
the cyclone, which struck Western On
tario Wednesday night, reached here
about midnight. It played sad havoc
with chimneys, telegraph poles and
wires. Its full strength passed some six
ty miles north of here out to Labrador
and Atlantic, leaving a swath of debris
behind. The only news received from
Lower Ontario is from the incoming
trains. It will take a week to restore
telegraphic communication. Four
houses were unroofed at Moulinette.
On the Corn wall canal Oscar Bar wick, jr.,
was instantly killed, every barn was ra
zed and forty head of cattle were killed.
A party of lumbermen had their huts
swept away and two of then, were so
badly injured by falling trees that their
lives are despaired of.
At Trenton, Gilinour's mills were dam
aged to the extent of $00,000 and the
Queen's hotel unroofed. The bridge
from Trenton to Gilmour was swept
away, Alexander Allen drowned. The
wind blew at the rate of seventy miles
all Wednesday night and did not fall be
low forty miles any time yesterday.
Wrecks of barns, outhouses, etc., literally
strew the tracks of the Grand Trunk and
Canadian Pacific roads. No freight
trains are moving, and the passenger
trains are run only with the greatest diffi
culty. The thermometer fell 40 degrees
in ten hours and every thing is frozen up.
Business is at a standstill and desolation
is on all sides.
George Simpson, a brakeman on the
Kingston & Pembroke railroad, was
blown from the train near Smith Falls
and sustained fatal injuries. It is estima
ted damage done by the storm in Ontario,
and Quebec will aggregate $.1,000,000.
No communication can be had with
the b;ck counties. It is feared that the
loss of life and property has been very
large. Whole forests are uprooted on
the upper Ottawa and it is feared that
many lumbermen's camps have been de
stroyed and the men either killed or in
jured by falling trees.
The Pittsbure Horror.
Pittsbubo, Jan. 12. The work of re
covering the victims of Wednesday's
disaster is not yet completed. For two
days and two nights 100 men and 50
teams have been constantly at work, and
up to 10 o'clock this morning the man
gled remains of fourteen persons have
leen taken from the ruins. Four more
are known to have been buried in the
ruins, and six others are missing. Of
the injured three have died since remo
val to the hospitals. Four others are in
a critical condition and will not survive
During the night the bodies ot Charles
McEwen an3 two unknown workmen
were recovered, and at daylight the re
mains of the venerable Rev. Dr. Reed,
who was in Weldin's store when the ac-
cincnt occurred, were found on the first
floor of the building, frightfully crushed.
The funerals of four victims took place
today, and others will be buried to
morrow.
The damage to proparty by the acci
dent is estimated at $125,000. The coro
ner's jury began its investigation at 10
o'clock this morning.
Wrecked by a Monster Waye.
New York, Jan. 12. Sailor Gerge
Thompson, of Camden, Me-, arrived in
this city today and reports the los3 of
the brigantiue Snow Bird, of New Bruns
wick, her captain, Thomas Bennett, and
second mate, George Scolt, both of New
Haven. The Snow Bird sailed from
E istport, Me., December 18, with a car
go of lumber for tliis city. The night of
December 21 the sea was very rough.
The Snow Bird was then ninety miles out
off Montauk Point. At daylight an im
mense wave swept the vessel and Captain
Bennett was washed from his post at the
wheel and was never afterwards seen.
The wreck of the Snow Bird has not
been seen since. She has probably gone
to pieces.

"ITALY OF AMERICA.
A Former Resident of Plattsmouth
Craphicly Describes Maricopa
County, Arizona.
J. W. Marshall, formerly postmaster
of this city and who is well known in
this part of the state, writes a letter to
his old friend, J. W. Hesser, of this city
Tempe, Maricopa County, Ariz.,
January 1st. 1880.
Dear Friend Hesser: I promised to
write you and send you sr. me literature
descriptive of this "Italy of America.'t
Have only been here ten days, and the
first five days the whole country was
flooded with rain and even now the roads
are very muddy.in places, still I have
been driven some fifty miles about this
place and Phoenix. I find the country
much more developed than j had ex
pected, there is about 60,000 acres in
cultivation, over 70,000,000 pounds of
wheat and barley was raised here in the
Salt River Valley this year past. Fruit
culture is only in its infancy as yet, but
there are some orchards eight years old,
planted by Mormons. I saw yesterday
in the chamber of commere at Phcenix
the fruit display that was on exhibition
at the Territorial fair this fall, it makes a
grand show, all the citrus fruits grapes,
raisins, almonds English walnuts, etc.;
one sweet potatoe weighed twenty pounds,
another cluster of sweet potatoes all fast
to one vine weighed thirty pounds.
There are however many lovely young
orchards of peaches, apricots and grapes
from one to three years old. This coun
try will surely rival Southern California
in fruits in a few years. It is only neces
sary that the actual facts regarding the
superior conditions of climate, soil,
abundance of water for irrigation, the
early ripening of our fruits and harvests
etc. etc., be generally known when, in
my opinion, there will be a general rush
to this vast valley and it will literally
"blossom as the rose." Roses are now in
bloom out doors, and oloanders, what
wonderful growths they do make; fan
palms only five years old from the seed,
eighteen inches across the stalk, twelve
to fifteen feet high and the same breadth
of top of leaves. Our first frost, only a
light one, came on the 29th of December;
we have no fire in our house only our
gasoline stove to cook on. But the
greatest reyelation to me, after days of
travel over the barren plains of Texas
and Mexico and Arizona was when I left
the Southern Pacific road at Maricopa,
only twenty-six miles south and in forty
minutes came to this green valley with
its barley and alfalfa in all stages of
prowth from that just coming out of the
ground and two feet high, and see the
enormous ricks or nay, some
of them 200 and 300 feet long, the pro
duct as I afterwards learned, of four suc
cessive cuttings during the season, and
the hundreds and thousands of cattle
contentedly feeding on these same fields
that have produced four crops of hay,
the fields of course all bordered with
sparkling running brooks and cotton
wood and fig trees, the latter
now have their third crop
on and are about half growm but
will not ripen as we are to have some
frost now for a few weeks. The leaves
on the cottonwoods are green as in July
in Nebraska. Twenty-five thousand
head of steers have been brought into
this valley from the plains to be fattened
on the alfalfa grass and hay this winter;
many of these cattle are of high grade.
It is a novel and interesting sight for one
fresh from the north to see two or three
hundied head of these cattle on a field of
green clover of 80 or 160 acres. One
acre is said to be ample for from two to
three head; six tons of alfalfa hay is the
average per acre. It is now selling from
$8 to $10 per ton. Farmers readily get
$1 per head per month for winter pasture,
so you can easily figure the profit. How
ever, this land is two valuable for fruits
to remain for any considerable time de
voted to agriculture, even at so great a
profit. But to take the water out of the
salt river miles and miles above and
bring it do rn onto these lands in tb:
great canals, and spread and divids it in
hundreds and hundreds of small and
lateral ditches, costs time and money. A
"water right" 100 inches is sufficient for
160 acres, and from the Tempe Canal,
which is a mutual organization, costs
from J,30Q to f 2.0QQ to buy, and after
that about 20 cents an acre per year is
assessed and goes to keep the canal in
order. These farms can be had at from
$40 to $100 per acre. The buildings are
mostly of adobe, but make a good house
when covered with shingles and plastered
and papered, as some of them are. Gen
erally, however, they are covered with
adobe and are a sorry looking habitation.
Lumber is very high as yet; common
is worth $35 to $40 per M. As it all
comes from California, on acconut of a
lack of railroad facilities reaching into
our own extensive forrests of pine, juni
per and spruce, and in hard wood the
black walnut, wild cherry, ash, white and
red oaks. The pine grows 150 feet high
5 and 6 feet in diameter, and often 75
feet to the first branches. Arizona has
20,000 square miles of these forests. The
Atlantic and Pacific R. R. traverses
a portion of it, and vast quantities of the
sawed lumber is now taken to the Pacific
coast and into New Mexico over this road
But we shall soon be connected by rai
with these; forests and then have cheap
lumber. Excellent brick are made here
aud sill at the kiln at $7 per M.
I have seen here great forests of cactus
10 to 20 feet high, and 12 to 20 inches
in diameter; many of them with arms
but generally like a cone.or round-topped
straight pole, only you would not under
take to "climb this ca: t pole."
Phtcnix is a nice town of (1,000 with
several miles of strert car lines, electric
lights and all modern improvements. It
is to have the capital this winter, so say
the political doctors.

Tricking f02iis Critic.
A St. Paul gentleman, who many yearn
ago was n resident of Cincinnati, tells a
story concerning Powers, the sculptor,
which has probably never lieon in print.
There were at that time in Cincinnati
two or three connoisseurs in art who as
sumed a sort of general censorship in
such matters, and everything that they
said concerning works of art was sup
posed to "go." They had unfavorably
criticised some of lJowers work, and,
he did not take much stock in their dic
tations anyway, he decided to show them
up to the art people of the city. He was
working some in wax and announced a
reception at which he would 6how some
of tho latest products of his genius.
Among the figures was one represent
ing the mayor of the city. It stood in a
niche by itself, with the light arranged
for the best effect. The high mucka
mucks of the art world of Cincinnati at
tended the reception. Th'vy examined
the figure of the mayor and made com
ment on it. "The hands," remarked one,
"do not reveal any anatomy." "The legs
are a trifle short," said another, "but
otherwise I consider it ft very fine
figure." . And bo they went on. One of
them finally discovered that something
was wrong about the bridge of the nose,
and raised his hand to point out the de
fect. "Damn you, don't you pinch my
nose," cried the alleged wax "figure" to
their astonishment, dismay and complete
overtlirow as art critics. The sculptor
had induced the real b6 mayor to help
him in Ids little 6cheme.-St. Paul

The Millionaire Mother of a Socialist.
One of the richest women in the world,
the Duchess of Galliera, died in Paris.
Her grace was the daughter and heiress
of the Marquis de Brignole Sale, a rich
Genoese nobleman. She years ago mar
ried tho Puke de Galliera, who was very
wealthy but their fortune was enor
mously increased by judicious specula
tions. Some idea of the Duchess of Gal
liera's riches and benevolence can be
formed when it is said that her husband
gave 1,000.000 to tho city of Genoa to
enlarge the port, and the duchess 2,000,
000 to build a new hospital the most
magnificent in Europe to enlarge five
streets and to restore churches and
charitable institutions. She also pre
sented to her native city her palace, the
celebrated Palace Rosso, with its superb
collection of Vandykes and other pictures
by the great masters. In Paris 6he en
dowed a museum of art, an orphanage
and other charitable institutions, and she
is well known also to have purchased
back a good deal of the Spanish estates
of the Due de Montpensier, which she
presented to h'm rnany years ago. The
only son and heir of this lady, Signor
Ferrari he refuses the title of duke is
a well known socialist, whereas the
duchess herself was an extreme Royalist.
London Court Journal.
A Large Organ.
A correspondent of La Science en
Famille states that in the Protestant
church at Libau. Russia, there is an or
gan which occupies the whole width of
the church, about 60 feet, and which
has 131 registers, 8,000 pipes and 14 bel
lows of large size. It has 4 harpsichords
and 1 pedal. The largest pipe is formed
of planks 3 inches thick and SI feet in
length, and has a section of ? square
inches, and weighs 1,540 pounds. Be
sides the 131 registers, there jre
21 apcesspry stops that permit of
combining various parts of the in
strument without 1 laving direct re
course to the registers. By a spe
cial pneumatic combination, the organist
can couple the four harpischords and ob
tain surprising results. For the sake of
comparison the fpllovlng large instru
ments of this kind may be cited: Organ
