VgAltIPIIE TORNADOgS IN AOTII
HEMISRBISRES.
Annin,_Srux, May 13.— . terrible
hurricane bas. just s's ept across 0101 -aid -
die of Spain. Inthis. city 70 persons
avere instantly killed, and, 00 sgrieuslg
injured. The wind struck the city with
Old suddenness .of lightning. A. train of
cars was overturned and broken into
splinters. Roofs_ were dislodged and
telegraph wires everywhere torn down.
Parks1,in, and about the city were de
vastated, and in some cases entirely d4-*
nulled., One church tower -was blown
down. "A uumbercf houses in the sub-
urbs were -entirely wrecked. Many
cottages on the " outskirts were blown.
from 'their foundations and wrecked.
Some were so completely and. quickly
broken up and scattered that they. may
be said to have simply vanished before
the storm. Telegraphic communication
is SQ, completely cut of that it is iln-
possible to obtain news from the pro.
vines. It is believed that the damage
'wrought by the hurrigane is widespread:
The daciage will exceed $1;200,090.
The Queen has sent a slim of money to
be applied to the relief of the distressed.
Animals evinced the wildest terror dur-
ing the hurricane, Farm crops and
villages were ,distressingly ravaged in
the country. districts. The working
classes ale suffering the heaviest losses,
Many washerwomen were "blown into
' the River Mansanares, and 28 were
drowned... The largest -tree • in Madrid,
which stood in front of the Parliament
buildings, was blown down. The'hos-
pitals. are crowded with sufferers.
DAYTON, OHIO, May 18.—Dayton'is
isolated. No trains or mails have pass-
- ed in or'out, and the telegraph and tele-'
,phone wires are all down. .A storn'i of
ivind,'rain
.and -hail -struck •Dayton and
vicinity at '8 o'clock last. night. The
-small streams .became rushing torrents,
and the Miami River a mighty flood,`
rising nine feet in three hours, iniindet-
ing 50 acres and hundreds of .huaos in
' the fourth w.ard,.and .drowning horses:
and cow's. - ierchandise. in the cellars
has been ruined: ' Bridges in all 'direc-
-tions were swept away, and farm build-
ings and dwellings demolished.'.: All
kinds of crops are totally'ruined. The
greatest destruction is in a track oast
from the• Big `Miami: io the -Little
Miami. The Scionville.. brick Reform
Church, four ' miles south of Dayton,
was razed. Fairmount is a total wreck...
The church al Beaveiton,,w ere a, pray-
er meeting was in progress; wa ro
lished, but none of the panic-stricken
worshipper s were seriously hurt: Dwell=
ings there ' ere -twisted from their four-
dations. At Shaker Village, three miles
east, many buildings . were unroofed;
barns blown down and cattle injured:

A Divot WHO UNEXPECTEDLY.Marks; IYIT I
DEAD BODIES...
DEAR Stn,—Ae an aboriginal production,.
the cacti are limited to equatorial America,
and for their varied twee equal the palms,
of which I have written,
"In "Mexico; they spread over the baro
and • naked' Tierra •i.'aiiente undisturbed..
There are mare than 400 species. Almost
all delight in a dry situation, and many of
them in a dry sand, covered by scarcely a
trace of vegetable mould, where they are
exposed besides, for three-fourths. of .the
year, to the parching beams of an uncloud-
ed sun. And what is remarkable,'therall
contain a vast amount of watery juice.
This peculiarity gives them inestimable
value to the fainting traveller ; and Rer-
nerd in9De St, Pierre has aptly called them
the "springs of the desert." The wild
ass of the Llanos, top, knows well how to.
avail himself of these planta. In the dry
season, when all animal life flees from the.
glowing Pampas, when cayman. and •-boa
'sink into death -like sleep in the dried up
mud, the wild ass alone knows how to
guard against thirst ; oantigesly stripping
off the dangerous spines of the Mclocact'us
with his hoof, and then. in -safety sucking
the cooling vegetable juiee."
4'Succuteut as is -the stain of most of -the
cacti, yet, in' the course of time, they per.
fact in it "a wood as firm as it is light: This
is especially the case in the tall columnar
species, the old dead stems of which re-
main'ereot till a traveller seizes it to make
a fire to protect him from mosquitoes,' to.
bake'his maize•cake, or burns it as's torch
to light lap the 'night. It is from the _last
use they have 'obtained their name of
torch -thistles. These stems,' on acedupt
of their lightness, are carried up on mules
to the heights of the Cordilleras, to serve
ad beams, posts and door. sills. They are
also used: or. hedges.- Their firm, shape-
less branches soon interweave themselves
into an impenetrablebarrier, opposing, by
their 4Creadful Spines, 'An insuperable ohs
stitch) to the intruder."
A traveller in Sonora, 1848, says of
sorbe.of then that -they were from 25•to..GA_.
feet high, and from two to six feet in cir-

fruit ' much prized,i by the Indians and
Mexicans. It resembles 'the burr of a
Chestnut,. and is full of prickles ; hut the
pulp re'tembles that of the fig, only more
soft and. luscious, In ,some it white, in
some red, and in others yellow; but always
of exquisite taste."
- Another variety feeds the cochineal in-
sect, so valuable for its dye: And of an-
other, physicians make use of its acid juice
for fon:mutations in inflammations, and
give , the boiled fruit in affections' of, the
„oliest, So also another: alictidd iia 9

their favorite . beverage. As the. _palm
gives the Arabs'neanti, so does :•.the cen-
tury plant supply Indians and Mexicans
with gntbque. One tells of a "region where
millions of barrels are drawn; A single
plant will:give a gallon 'a da for many
months. One tells that a hillgrown p ant
Will: give four gallons. This is also dis
