The reader will pardon the foregoing digres-
sion, prompted by our admiration for rem
edy that performs such marvellous cures, and
permit us TO say that when the admiral return
ed to his home in New York the only cloud
cast upon the happiness of the reunion with
his family was caused by the continued Illness
Of his eldest son, a young man Of twenty -four,
whose disease, when the admiral sailed from
Montevideo, had been reported as succumbing
TO the treatment of the family doctor. But his
father found IL otherwise; the unfortunate
young man was suffering severely from chronic
disease of the kidneys and bladder. Before

Great Pan is Dead.

Unless all the people in this vast coun
try are to be bowed down with weigh :
of woe, something bust be done to re,
strain the gloomy granger. Each yeal
regularly he kills off the corn or the
wheat, the apple or peach crop, but this
year nothing less than wholesale deStruc-
ton will satisfy him. Not content with
a prospective lack of corn bread or alb
sence of the toothsome dumping, the in
satiate monster foreshadows a famine,
where neither pone nor pie has any part.
The corn was pretty effectively disposed
Of early in the season, farmers being in
formed that little of it had ripened thor
oughly enough to terminate. They were
advised to carefully select the best they
had for seed, and hope was expressed
when planted. This hope, however, is
now blasted. The extreme cold weather,
we are told, has frozen the germ in such
grains as were fortunate enough to pos
sess any, thus making the planting of
corn fields next spring a useless and
hopeless task. The wheat, of course, was
winter-killed some time ago. 1t is in
the sleet-storm, however, that the sad
prophet particularly delights. In a
fall of rain which turns to ice upon
the trees, he revels with a melancholy
pleasure. He rises and goes forth in
the night to gather branches of thepeach,
the cherry and apple trees. He examines
| the buds of these and finds they are
killed. Dead! OF course they are, else
what is the use of a sleet stormp The
To- 81 ~ 4 Ill L. AToNh
is left alive anywhere, according to this
prognosticator. Everything lis dead
which had not already been destroyed.
Next year we will have no corn, no
wheat, no fruit, no nothing to eat, no
wherewithal to make corners of. The
public has become quite accustomed to
having some one of the cereals or of the
standard fruits and vegetables destroyed
each winter, only to have it appear in
profusion after harvest. 1t is, indeed,
quite matter of course that the owners
of immense orchards which are ruined
in January shall come up smilingin Sep
TENDER with millions of baskets of fruit.
But when everything is disposed of in
advance it becomes different matter.
Persons who might treat the absence of
one article of food with indifference, or
carelessly believe that the supply will
equal the demand in the end, cannot
view this complete destruction of bread
stuffs and fruits without alarm Some
thing must really be wrong, and they
grow uneasy. The rural jeremiah should
be reasoned with and persuaded to keep
silence. If famine is to come, letus eat,
drink and be merry while we may. We
will put ashes on our sidewalks, but
prefer not to wear it on our heads until
August or thereabouts Sufficient unto
the day is the weather thereof and its
prophets, without the fruit and corn
destroyer. -IpdianapoIiS Journal.
