A man named David Hughes, who was
employed as labOrer in Youngstov II, Pa,
got on a spree recently and drank so heavily
as to unsettle his reason. On SUNDAY,
about dark, he went to Struther's foundry.
climbed up TO the top of the furnace, where
he began to make wild speech. lie said
that some of the men had killed his brother,
and he wanted revenge. The men were
anxious to go to work, but he at the top
OF the furnace, babe them desist There
were around him cinder and ore and crow
bars. plenty OF ammunition, and from his
vantage point he found it easy to carry his
end. Every one who attempted to ascend
narrowly escaped death, as some missiles
were hurled down with violent and vindic-
tive force. Time went on. The furnace
needed attention, the fuel was burning out,
and yet the maniac held his position About
midnight Marshal Evans was sent for, but
hesitated to go out of his bailiwick, but, on
beng urged, consented. Toward | O'Clock
the next morning, he arrived upon the
scene, and was at his wits end TO know
what to do. The fires of the furnace were
fist diving out, but in the darkness the ma
MAC yelled and threatened, complete master
of the situation. From the side of the fur
mace upon which the ascent must b.. made
the Marshal took everybody away with
their lights, leaving it dark below, sending
all to the other side to attract the attention
of the man on top. At the same time he
fired q couple of shots from the side of the
ascent to frighten the man from guarding
the stairway. The strategy was successful,
and Hughes was soon on the other side OF
the platform, talking to the men below
Bnt who would make the perilous ascent.
The Marshal was willing to lead the way,
but did not care to 90 alone to encounter
the maniac at that dizzy height where Il
slip was easy, and n slip was death. At
length James Kennedy, who was there with
his father, agreed to accompany the Ma
shal in the perilOus undertaking, and to-
gether through the darkness they startei
up the stairway. When nearly at the top
the man heard them, TUNED, and seized
large board. At that moment, and not a
moment tor soon, the Marshal sprang up
the intervening stairs, avoided the blow
and grappled with the maniac. The two
went down on the platform together, on
the very edge, but few inches between
them and certain death. Kennedy was in
an instant to the assistance of the Marshal,
and they were able TO hold their man until
the men below could reach the top. The
Marshall then put the handouts upon him.
and brought him TO Youngstown, lodging
him in the lookup.

In the neighbOrhood Of Jerusalem is a
pleasant valley. which still bears the name,
''SolOmOn's Rose Garden and where, ac-
cording to Mohammedan myth, a COM
pact was made between the wise man and
the genii of the morning land, which was
written. not in blood, like the bond be
sween Faust and Mephistopheles, nor in
gall, like our modern treaties, but with saf-
from and rose water, upon the petals of
white roses. In the Catholic TyrOl, in the
present day, bethrothed swans are expected
to carry rose during the period of their
bethrothal US warning to young maidens
Of their engaged state. Roses have PLAYED
and still play an important part in popular
usages i'll other parts of the world. In
Germany young girls deck their hair with
white roses for their cOnfirmaiion-their
entrance into the world; and when, at the
end Of life's career. the aged grandmother
departs to her eternal rest, last gift, in
the shape of a rose garland, is laid upon
her bier. Julius Caesar, 1t is recorded, was
fain to hide his badness at the age of thirty
with the produce of the Roman rose
gardens, as Anacreon hid the SHOWS Of
eighty under wreath of roses. At mid
Lent the Pope sends a golden rose to parti-
cular churches or crowned heads whom he
designs especially to honor. Martin
Luther wore a rose in his girdle. In these
instances the rose serves as a symbol of &c
clesiastical wisdom. \ rose was figured on
the headman's axe of the Eoehmgericht
Many orders, fraternities and societies have
taken the rose as their badge. The ''Rosi-
crlIcians' may be instanced. The ''Socieiy
of the Rose" o. Hamburg, an association of
learned ladies of the seventeenth century,
is a less known example. 1t was divided
into four sections-the Roses, the Lilies,
the Violets and the Pinks. The holy Me
dardus instituted IN France the custom of
ia Rosiere,' by which, in certain locali-
ties, money gift and a crown of roses are
bestowed upon the devoutest and most in
dustrious maiden in the commune The
infamous Duke de Chartres established an
''Order of the Roses, with diametrically
opposite intention. At Treviso a curious
rose feast is or was held annually. 4 castle

The Celestial Kingdom.

in an interesting article, W. F. Denning,
an English member of the Royal Astro-
nomical Society, with an eyesight almost
as keen as that of Professor Burnham, OF
Chicago, points out several celestial objects
as test Of unaided vision. One of these
is, of course, the Pleiades, or seven sisters
which crosses the meridian now about
n. NJ. To ordinary vision only six stars
are visible in this group. Moestlin, the
preceptor of keplef, saw fourteen. A very
good eve now can detect eleven. Mr..
DenniDg can see thirteen. and on one clear
night counted fourteen, while telescope
reveals from fifty to hundred, according
to its power. Another object of some in
terest to naked eye observers is the middle
star in the tail of the Great Bear, which has
a small companion named Alcor. close to
it. 1t was called .'Saidak' by the Arabs,
signifying ''ihe Tester" for it was Gus
tomary amongst them to test mans
power of sight by it. Humboldt, in his
"Kosmos," says that he has seen the
smaller star with great distinctness every
evening on the rainless coast of Cumana,
but has recognized it only rarely and I'M

certainly no test of vision. 1t may posi-
bly, have become brighter than it formerly
was, for it is now extremely plain, even IN
unfavorable conditions of the atmosphere.
There is third and fainter star near it
which really forms a very difficult object
to reach with the naked eye. The moons
of Jupiter form another and severer test
for the powers of ths naked eye, for though
they have been undoubtedly detected
without telescopes, yet they are very faint,
and being immersed in the planets rays,
are almost wholly overpowered, except at
the time Of the greatest elongation, when
two Of them (the third and fourth) being
occasionally in conjunction, afford capi-
tai opportunity for testing the vision.
These little moons are generally in a line
with each other, thsugh not invariably
all visible. for they suffer numerous
eclipses and allied phenomena. As to Jup-

To rise upon some fairy shore
And bright in Heavens jeweled crown
They .hlne forevermors
There is no dea'h, The dust we treai
Shall change beneath the summer shower
The golden grain, or mellow fruit
Or rainbow tinted flower
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed the hanging moss they bear;
The forest trees drink daily life
From out the v:ewless air.
There is DO death, The leaves may fall
The flowers may fade and pass away

For coming Of the May.

He plucks our fairest sweetest flowers;

The b,rd-like voice whose joyous notes
Made glad these scenes of sin and strife,
Sings now an everlasting song
Amidst the trees of life.
And when he finds a smile too bright
Or heart too pure for taint CT vice,
He bears it to that wJr.d of light
To dwell in Paradise.

Considering climatic factors, as a
result of experience, observation, in.
vestigation and study, we are con-
WINGED that Florida presents more
attractions and advantages as win
ter resort for invalids than any State
in the Union. The temperature is
favorable, the mean relative humidity
is peculiarly adapted to the treats
ment of all forms of pulmonary
disease, the air is salubrious, and in
large portion of the State dry and
bracing; atmospheric changes are
infrequent, and not so great as in
other sections east Of the Rocky
Mountains. Rains are intrequen:,
and sunshine and fine weather the
rule. The State possesses insular,
interior, dry and moist localities,
semi-tropical and cooler sections :;
and II the nature OF amy given case

a suitable climate can be reached in

pense, For tear of being accused or
painting Florida is too bright colors,

The atmosphere is generally dry
and clear, owing to the evenness and
