Flowers.

Flowers are the alphabet Of angels,
whereby they write on hills and plains
strange and mysterious truths.
Among the objects of beauty and in
terest in nature there are few more
generally known and loved than flow
e~s.
They spring up around us on every
side in endless variety--in the garden,
the field, the forest, and on the most
rugged mountains.
On the highest peak OF the Alps,
where no tree or shrub can dare the
eternal SHOWS, flowers bloom IN fresh
ness and beauty amid the waste of des-
olation.
The Snowdrop, the eyer-welcome
messenger of spring, while the snow
yet fingers, lifts its pale head, sweet
emblem of confidence. aud whispers
that the fearful storms and chilling
blasts are over, and will soon give
place to the genial warmth of spring.
The Snowirop is faithful monitor OF
our passing years. We cannot look al
il without feeling that since il last
bloomed another year has rolled away,
and that many loved ones who were
then with us are now sleeping in the
| cold embrace of death.

The Greedy squadron is at last all of
on its errand of mercy. The Bear, the first
to start, must be now well up to the Green
land coast. The Thetis has been reported at
St. Johns taking In supplies, and the Alert
sailed from New York last week. The three
vessels will meet at Cpernavik, and
the northward voyage will begin about the
lst OF June, heading for Greey's Station,
on Lady Franklin Bay. The squadron is
composed Of stanch vessels, plentifully sup
piled with every appliance which will be
needed, and manned with officers and crews

tiful Government reward has already started
quite feet of whalers into that inhospitable
region, SO that we may expect TO hear tidings
of the gallant Greedy and his party possibly
before another winter sets in.

Gen. Butler was interviewed at Bcs-
ton by n newspaper correspondent in
regard to the pension laws. The Gen
eral said:
Il am in favor of pensioning all who
served in any way. fixing maximum
for those who served through, and Civ
ing those who served less time pro-
portion of the maximum into the ratio
of time served. As in 1882, we have a
large Treasury surplus. Under Jack
son it was used to pension everybody,
and the balance distributed among the
States. an in favor Of the pension
part, but not the distributing. Such a
pension plan, carefully drawn, would
entirely do away with claim agents,
pension officers, etc, and would relieve
many brave soldier who cannot prove
that his present trouble was caused by
his army life. 1t would also reward
those who fought bravely through the

MEDICAL MEETING.

The Owosso Academy Of Medicine held
its regular monthly meeting on Thursday
June 5th. The attendance was fair, and
the interest marked. DR.. Wilise read a
paper on diptheria, making his diagnosis
of the disease the main feature of interest.
The subject was fully discussed by the
Academy. The history of various epidem-
les of this disease was recounted, and the
present method of treatment compared with
that in vague years ago. The affection
was regarded by most of the members rs
primarily local trouble, and much stress
was laid upon the necessity of eorly and
active local treatment, all measures used
being mild but persistent.
Chronic Gastric Catarrh was next dis
cussed, the pathology Of this diseased con-
dition of the stomach was gone over, and
the treatment yielding each practitioner
the most satisfactory results was carefully
detailed.
After the discussion, DR.. Bailey OF Cor
unna, made application for admission, and
after the usual investigation was made, he
was balloted for and elected to member.

BY vote of the Academy, DR.. Eldred
