Clark writes to the Register from Paris that the only Chicago relief fund raised in that city was by Americans temporarily sojourning there. General Clark continues: "There is no comparison between the calamities which have befallen the cities of Chicago and Paris. The latter, today, in a material and com mercial point of view, is about as well ofF as it ever was. All the prop erty destroyed here during the siege and Communal insurrection has been estimated at $100,000,000, and that was nearly all Government property. It consisted of palaces, churches, theatres, monuments, etc. This estimate also embraces the vil lages in the environs of Paris, which were destroyed, but which were no essential part of the city. The beauty of the city has been sadly marred, but its wealth not materially di minished. The individual losses Were comparatively light, except in the interruption of business and the high price of provisions during the seige. To»see the gayety of the pop ulation now, as they fill the places of amusement, and throng the boule vards of an evening, one can hardly realize that a few months ago this was the scene of a bloody revolution, while the city as surrounded by a foreign foe. The impression that Paris is in ruins is a very erroneous one. It contains a third more people and twice the wealth of the whole State of Iowa, but not half as many Christians." Wo Nepotism After All* The New York Evening Post, op posed to the renomination of Pres't Grant, has the following: "President (Jrantis efficiently defended by the Times of this morning from the charges partizan jouanals have made against his personal character. It positively asserts that "not a dollar's worth of property has been given to General Grant since ho became Pres ident and that his stock in the Senaca Stone Company was pur chased in 1N67 for $10,000, and "has never paid him a cent." It reviews the fatuous list of "the President's, relatives" appointed to oflice, twen ty-five in number, so often published by the Sun, and finds that thirteen of them are not relatives of the Pres ident at all, while several of the others were appointed by his prede cessor. In short, although some of the President's appointments are bad enough, and one of the worst is that of 31 rs. Grant's brother-in-law, Jas. F. Casey, as Collector of New Or leans, there is no reason for any charge against him of family consid erations in selecting ofticers still less of any corrupt or pecuniary motive in his official acts." A Model Composition. The AHa Californian gives the fol lowing as a genuinely impromptu composition a la Billings made re cently by a little girl in the filth grade of the Ilincon Grammar School: "A goat is stronger than a pig. He looks at you and so does the doctor, but a goat has for legs. A boy with out a father is an orphan, and if he ain't got a mother he is two orphan. The goat does not give so much milk as the cow, but more than an ox*. I saw an ox to the fair one day, with a card tied on his left ear and we all went in on the family ticket. Mother picks geese in the summer. A goat pats grass and jumps on a box. Some folks don't like goats, but as for me give me a mule with a paint brush tail. The goat is a useful animal and smells as sweet as bars oil on the hair. If I had to much hair I would wear a wig as old captain peters does. I will sell my goat for three dollars and go to the circus to see the elephant which is higher than five 1 goats. Father is coming home and the baby has got the croup." St. Louis was visited by a severe storm last Saturday forenoon, by which some damage was done to buildings and other property. In the afternoon Indianapolis had it. At Lafayette, Indiana, by the same storm, a large number of buildings were unroofed, and leveral persons were injured. IXT*IHVILLFM Dec.2!}.—About noon to-dav a terrible tornado pas.^d about four miles below New Albany, Ina., breaking down timlx-r and destroy ji*c7»n feet of trestle work on the \ir Line Railway, intlicting adam ntre of several thousand dollars. I wo men were on the road in a buggv in the track of thestorm.and thehorse*. 1 buggy and men were lifted up and tarried fort v feet, but craped unhurt. The timbers of the treble were twist ed oil'like whip-cord. The Report of the Chicago Relief Committee, as published, proves very incorrect—not giving credit for anywhere near the amounts contrib uted. We hope there has been no I intentional wrong anywhere. It i9 stated that the report of ex Sec'y Seward's illness at Auburn is untrue. HARTFORD, Conn., Dec. 22.—A locomotive on the Hartford, Provi dence and Fish kill railroad exploded to-day, killing the engineer and fire man. The Iluntoon House at Aurora, Illinois, with its contents, was de stroyed by fire last Saturday morn ing. Several of its inmates were severely injured, and it is feared that some perished in the flames. The Memphis papers tell, with much "sensation," how Mr. John It. u o e i s a n a a e o e Post Office in that City, has, drawn a lottery prize of $:}.*,ooo, and how jolly he feels over it.
