A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

An extraordinary experience ia reported aa follows by the Paris corre-pondent of the Daily JVeut* ; —“Jean Mistral at length after forty-seven yeara of imprison ment ia a madhouse is at liberty, and master of sixty-five millions of francs, which represent his inherited fortune and accumulated compound interest He n>w wants to find oat what became of Ivs wife, who, because she refused in return for an annuity of 500 francs a year to ackn >wk-dge herself a woman of im proper character, was turned out of Frauce £on a charge of vagabondage. This was in 1837, when railways did not exist here. She was placed under police escort and marched from gendarmerie to gendarmerie all the way to the Rhine opposite Kehl, where she was put into a ferry and sent across. Mistral ia a first cousin of the poet. His mad house experiences at different times were more dreadful than those which befel a leading character in one of Charles Reade’s novels. He did net believe that he was going to be taken before a tribunal to plead his own case until he was actually there, when he burst into tears, and was too much affected f >r a cons derable time to speak, but on being gently re-assured bv the piesident, he told his story in a trembling voice, but in a perfectly lucid manner, and answered a number of test questions put to him. Only one parson in Taraacon, Ira native town, whom he knew before he was incarcerated, is now alive The story of Mistral is aa follows : He was sent on leaving college to act aa a travelling agent to hi* father, who was a rich manufacturer. There he fell ia love with a Polish operat e singer named Dombrowska, whom he married at Posen. He wro e to hia father apprising him of his intention, and received an answer to the effect that the paternal consent which French law demands would be given if there was fortune, but not unless. Jean Mistral’s supplies were stopped when he apprised his parents of his marriaga, and he snd his wife lived on the proceeds of her lyrical engagements. Her voice after they came to France failed her. They got as well as they could to Tarasccn, where the door of the paternal house was abut in their faces. He acd she then went about the country as wandering musicians. Measures were taken by the father to set aside the marriage, but aa the son refused to benefit >y them there were many hitches. At last tbe poor wife con sented to temporary separation. It was when ho was away from hsr that he was arrested as a furious lunatic, and taken to the madhouse, wheie be has been 47 years. It w?b not until Voltaire |took the matter up three years ago that the

Admlnistrat'on could he got to stir in tho affair. The noiae caused by the Mistral case will probably lead to a repeal of the Innaey law of 1838 which for family rea-

sons Louis Phillippe caused to be hurried through the Chamber.”

VAGARIES OF A CYCLONE.

Describing the most violent of the recent cyclonic storms in the Unhid States, the New York Times says : —The storm was in the form of a whirlwind, and starting about 100 feet wide, increased to at least 600 Let when it crossed the river, and seemed to intensify in force, moving very slowly, but the unfortunates in its track, not suspe. ting danger, were taken unawares, and had no time for fight. Had not the houses destroyed here been light frame structures the loss of life must have been much greater. An Indiana corres pendent says The residence of Mr Lemuel Deremer was destroyed in a twinkling. The fragments were scattered far and wide, the largest being a piece of the floor on which Mr Deremer found him self standing after the catastrophe. When the blow came he was preparing hr bed. It stripped him of every vestige of clothing except his collar and cuffs Mrs Deremer had already cone to bed, and bad her youngest child iu her arms. The storm blew her about twenty-five yards away, where, on regaining con sciousness, she found herself standing wish the child still in her arms, neither having received a scratch, although they were surrounded by fragments of the building, many of which were driven Into tho ground. Mr and Mrs Deremer found their eldest boy, a lad of 14 years, in a meadow about 400 yards away, at the head of a slough. Be was unconscious, and his recovery is extremely doubtful The outbuildings and barn were carried away, and no trace of them remained The horses were uninjured, but abmt 2CO chickens, otherwise unhurt, were picked clean. Similarly a Texan corresj ondenf writes:—The residence of J. H. Green, two miles south of Rome, was picked up and hurried a great distance Mr Ore. n wife, aud two daughters were all b*dly bruised. The large residence of Jdm Beard was next swept sway. Mr Beard, bis wife, and five children were car ried a distance of fifty yards with the house but none of them were fatally it - jured Capt. Folley. an old settler of Sank Rapids, weighing 2801 b, was blow' 400 feet in the air, sni bruised by flyiog debris He says the water In his 65ft well was all sucked out, leaving only sand a' the bottom. The force of the storm wa> such as to wrench off’ the door of tin s fo in the post-office, and carry it some <Ls tance from the building. The church bell, weighing 1560 lbs, was found amon ■ the debris 400 ft away from any building. The remains cf the dead were almost un recognisable, being completely crushed and blackened. Many of the survivors will bo d'sabled for life. The delegation of doctors from St Paul end Minneapolis worked all night under the disadvantage of having no splints or drugs, as the drug stores were all demolished. The splints were all made from shingles. In Minne sota, it is said, for a width of about 600 ft running from south-east to north-east, the tornado has levelled almost everything before it.
