Dnily predictions nre 11 fact being mude at present, having begun Inst year and continued through the lor- aado season mid resumed recently upon tho return of Liout. Finley from an Inspec tion tour in tho west. The peicentages of roriflcatioiiB is nlrendy gratifying, though iho predictions nro as yet largely oxperi mental, mid aro embodied in daily pub ished bullotiiiH of tho signiil oflico only shell conditions favorable to the creation jf tornadoes nre very pronounced. In inch cases &ovoro local storms aro noted as probable. ruAiunns op tub toii.vado. Lieut. Finley recently described tlio mown phenomena of tornadoes and tho mil towards which tlio present researches iro directed. Theso h tonus have, distinctly marked characteristics and aro by no menus to bo confounded witli hurricanes, "blizzards," cyclones, or '.'northeasters." Their tracks aro novor nioro than a few hundred yards ido and their forces aro fenerally exhausted by tho time tlioy liavo traveled the courso of forty or fifty miles, though in tills latter respect they aro ipiito mrinhlo, some having been traced by their linos of devastation more than 180 miles. l'lioir rotary motion, uliicli is Greatest to ward tlio center, sometimes roaches tho en ormous rate of 200 miles an hour, whiio their forward movement, nlwnys from louthcast to northwest, ordinarily doos not exceed forty or llfty miles. They aro usually uiiiiccompaniud by electrical dis turbances aud are believed to bo iiniu- tllionced by electrical conditions, thouuli thunderstorms sometimes lollow them a, low miles away. Itin.ATlO.NSIIlI' WITH OTIIUIt HTOltMH. riiero Is a distinct and curious relation- sliio between tornadoes and tlio euiiernl storm center, which is always apparent lu Ihoir uniform relative positions tho tor nado always occuiriiiK Honthvestwardly from tlio center if low barometer and at a distance ot from 100 to (100 miles. Tho shape of tho general storm center, the direc tion iu which its longest center lies, and the appearance of the upper nnd lower clouds enter ii minor elements in to the problem out of Which the weather experts hopo to work a complete system ol tornado warn ings. HOMM Of TUB TORNADO. Tho visits of the tornado nre commonly between 2 and 0 o'clock in the afternoon. Its home is an area of which Includes the whole, of Iowa, all of Missouri except the so a thw.es tern comer, the northwestern cor ner of Arkansas, the northeastern part of Indian Territory, Kiistern Kansas, Lantern Ktbmskn, Southern Minnesota, Southern Wisconsin and Western Illinois. Here its season extends from April to August Inclu sive. It is a lieueub visitor to two or tliree regions. It lias a strip along the Cult and South Atlantic, which takes in tho central por tions of Alabama, Uoorin and South Car olina, with termini iu Mississippi and North Carolina, over which its devastation nre confined to tho months ot January, Feb ruary and March. Another includes a por tion ol Southern nnd Central Ohio, a large port i cm ot Pennsylvania, a small area In Maryland, a strip across New York and the ooruer each ot Massacbusutls and Connec ticut when it is in season only during the months ot August and September. I'RACTICAI, KKSKAlK'Hli. Lieut. Finley further snld: "While a most interesting sclntl!lc question re specting the otkin of tornadoes, t hit laws which gooru Hu m nnd thi ir relationship to other iiietoi olosjical phenomena remain to lie Aiiswero'l, thu more practical ipies tion ns to whim and where they are likuly to appear seems to be ndviiui ing rapidly toward solution, interests which are sub ject to disaster from tornadoes are alivoto the importance of the work In progrpH. The intendinit nuroltHser of farms apply to the si ;iial otliis for information reKctiug the liability ol their selected locality to disaster. To such are sent the records ol the past as tar ns they are known. Whenever Lieut, Finley travels in pursuit ol his studies, farmers and villagers press lor information. To theso ho says that nothing raised by the hum! of inn u above tho surface of the earth can withstand a tornado. He advises them to seek their ilin'oiits upon tho appearance of the por tentous signs ot disaster, and there await the passage ot the storm. For their prop erly he advise insurance so that th losses ot an iudiv Id u al may be shared by his more tort una te neighbors, IiiMiiriinroeotiinanies which last year "wrote" $ K),Oii.OU() in tornado policies are eagerly awaiting the completion of a map now in process ol making, which uill.il is xpoetiil greatly narrow the so-called tornado region, and perhaps show that large portions ot them nave never experienced u severe storm, I' poll this map Liout. Finley proposes to show Irom tho complete record of several years and data, as far as obtained tor many previous yours, the average number ol tornadoes for each locality per annum. (Jraut's Exonitlvo Ordor. A Washington dispatch says the post olllce department is In receipt ot u number of inquiries relative to tho operation ot the executive order niudo by President Grant In 187:1, forbidding federal olllclats to hold state or municipal olllees.

They are prono tocstimato tho historical relation ol tho tintlsii liberals toward Ireland by oratorical professions. The Irish people, whoso lives nnd destiny are in the issue, must judgo liberals auu torics alike by their acts. In political lit erature thero is nothing moro auspicious and enticing than the promises which tho liberal party havo mado to Ireland Whon we scrutinize tho performances that hayo followed theso promises, littlo is found in them that is not ineffectual or brutal. Tho Irish parliament was abolished by force and fraud in 1800. Since that timo two great nets of remedial legislation havobeen fessed that itwnsdone under the-menace of l'Yiii.inislii. Thus, we find tlio account of the British parties with the Irish people ! luiUi need, and the Irish peoplo wider no j obligation to either. There is the land legislation. That is to be classed assiinpl.v ineffectual. The land question in Ireland is not settled. Evictions, which Mr. Glad stone pronounced death setences, proceed under bis land act and all its anieud im titans atrociously as ever. Landlords a 'id tenants aro in the same plight thift tliev have lieen in for two hundred years, nnd they will remain in that plight until the Irish nation becomes both landlord n mi t 'liant of Ireland. If the liberal land k'g'tlutlon has been ineffectual, the liberal tin 0- of governing Ireland has been brutal. Tor what shall Ireland thank Gladstone i and the liberals? Forn course of practical tyranny, compared witli which the oppres sion ot theAineriran colonies was benign 1 imlerealism? For destroying all personal I liberty t For imprisoning, in profound peace, without warrant, a thousand repu-t.il.K- lilisens ot both sexes, including tlio , high, si leaders ot tho people?

DANUEROl'S GYMNASTIC FEATS. Professor It'Lon Cross' Portage Falls on a MopsA Narrow Ksck )a froni Iteaib. A Buffalo (N. Y ) dispatch says: At Port ago. Prof. J. K. Irt-l.ori, of Springfield, Ohio, succeeded iu crossing the gorge on a tight rope. The r pe, which was an inch in thick ness and 750 feet long, was stretched from bank to bank at a height of i!O0 feet about hill way between the bridgo aud tipper Portage Falls. The professor was clear and cool when he started from the east bide, but when near tho center of the river his throat lifwiuie parched, and he was obliged to stop for several secon ls. Re covering himself he continued until about 100 feet from the west bank, when he backed up as far as the center ot the river again, where he per formed several feats. Dropping his balanc ing pole lie let himself down to twosw iuging rings which were suspended about ten foot below the rope, and just above tho dam at the edge of tho river. Hero ho went through several gymnastic teats, at last sliding down to Hie dam on a rope. When ho reached a point about thlrtv-tlvo feot from Hie bed ot the stream he signaled to the man holding the rope to give him a littlo slack lu order to allow him to turn over and descend headforemost. Misunder standing the request the man let go tho rope allowing Hie professor to swing over the stream. The latter, in order to save himself, slid down the rope to about fifteen feet from the river and as he swung toward the dam made a leap for It. He landed safely, but suffered a slight sprain in his right ankle, his hands being atso badly toru Irom the rope. Fully 6,000 people wit uvskdd the exhibition. Tlio llloodj Aparliri. Gov.

Grant's carver. Gen. Logan's nddress ombodlod a recital from tho standpoint of a personal observer ot tho military history of Gen. (irant. He began with his own first meeting with Grant nt Springfield, 111., where tho latter was assisting tho governor of his state to organize volunteers under the llrft call ol Piesident Lincoln, touched briefly and with littlo elaboration or comment upon tho steps in tho upwnrd progress of tho Bubject of his eulogy, tho battles fought and won, and campaigns plnuncd und car ried out. Tho speaker described briefly, but In glow ing terms, tlio events of Grant's civil career nnd honors showered upon him by our peo ple nt homo and by men niiil mi lions ubrond. "From Belmont to tho seigo ol Vifksburg," said Gen. Logan in his sum ming up, "I wns near him in ncat-'y nil his mnrches, campaigns nnd battles, being per mitted by him to take possession of Viuks burg with my command, on nccount of its having approached nearer the enemy thaii any other. During my term ns commander of that city I was with him ulniost overy liny and from tlio timo whon, nt the bead of that glorious old army of the Tennessee, ol w hich ho was tho first commander and I its last, I marched by his reviewing stand at the national capital, down to tho last pain ful days of his memorable life, I was with him very olton. During all this timo I was a close observer of him. Grant wns tisttnlly Known and recognized ns a quiet and silent mnn, but when engaged in conversation on any subject in which ho felt nn interest there wero few who excelled him ns a con versationalist. Ho wrote tersely and well. and at times moatoloquently. The nation was at (tilieront times thrilled by ins terso epigrammatic sentences. Whon he wrote to Btickner, tlio commander nt Fort Don elson, "No tonus other than an uncon ditional and immediate surrender can ba accepted; I propose to move immediately upon your works.'' his words burned with a glow ot patriotic tiro in tho heart of every loyal freeman. When he had fought tho battle of the Wilderness and wrote to tha president: "I propose to light it out on this line if it takes all summer," be Infused into the people nml his troops a pnrt of his own tenacity and faith in final success. In his short speech to tho committee wlio awaited upon him, informing him of his nomination, mndj by the republicans, ns chief magistrate, be used the memorable words in his conclusion, "Let ns have peace." Those words fell upon the people with electrical effect. His coolness, his per ception, bis aptness in using the right words lu the right place, and doing ths right thing at the right time, were nt the bottom of his success as civil magistrate, just as his gront faculty tor doing the right thing at the right time and place, and sometimes in the most unexpected manner, wns at tbe bottom of his military success. Tito speaker described the subject of bis eulogy as a man of great strength ol intellect ond remarkable common sene, coolness, self-possession ntul tenacity; a true friend to those woiily of hi friendship, and the kindest and best ol husbands and fathers.

Hostood by hi i friends and forgave his enemies. He fought not for glory but to save his country. When criti cised and censured; when the clouds of ralutnny hung about him, he stood with folded srms amid the thunders, witneHMiii tho wrath of his enemies, but he spoke not in his own defense. Time finally dispelled tho clouds and let in thesiumhine of honest judgment. Then his heart was found hi pure as the dewdrop which hung upon the lips of tho velvet rose. He believed In tho justice ol God and that, sooner oi Inter, He would, by some means, guidt hii'n, ns commander ot our armi-s, to tin line where justieo would take tho place ot wrong and "man's inhumanity to man" h properly rebuked. "But," continued th speaker, "his race has been run. When the great and good man went upon tht mountains to die, the attention of tin whole civilised world was directed to the spot. His glory was not that of his coun try alone, but of tho civilized rnees of mnn. When tho news ot his (loath went treinbliiij over tlio wires to the uttermost parts ol tho oartb, tho peoplo of overy nation and tonguo stood with bowed bonds. Grant had in life ascended to tho topmost heights of mortal famo. The grentest renown wu his tho glory of man's greatest achieve ments shone around and about him. God called him and he stepped from his high pedestal on this earth into the presence ol the great white throne, where he wni crowned with Hie immortal glory that shinoth on forever."
