Planning Box Eloer Seed.

A correspondent of The Farm, Stock
and Home has the following to say Of
planting box elders, which will prove Of
interest to our readers: "We have al
ways had the best results in planting
box elder seed in the spring of the year.
1t should be put in the ground as soon
as the frost is sufficiently thawed out Of
the soil, so that the work can be well
done. We have reference to the latitude
of Minnesota, Dakota, northern Iowa
and western Wisconsin. The seed should

fall, placed in small quantities in boxes
or sacks, and. deposited in some place
where they will escape the freezing a.

in early spring plant IN nursery rows on

slightly with the mellow soil and there

The box elder belongs to the family o
naples, and is generally called the ash
leaved maple. 1t is among the tastes

A tree that grows so rapidly as this does
should be pruned once in a while i,
early June. 1t is quite equal to TIN
hard maple for making sugar.

An Awful Disaster.

WINNIPEG, Nov. "a fearful disaster
occurred on the Lake Superior off Port
Arthur early this morning. The mag
niAcent ironclad steamer Algona of the
Canadian Pacific railroad, was wrecked
and thirty-seven lives were lost. The
Algona was coming into Port Arthur and
not going out when the wreck occurred.
She left Owen Sound Thursday, and was
wrecked Saturday. The first known of
the disaster was when the steamer Ath.
abasca arrived with q crew, saving thlr.
teen in number and two passengers are
the only ones saved, who were found in
a perishing condition on the Isle Royal.
The vessel was dashed to pieces; the
crew and the two passengers saved them.
selves by taking to the life boats. The
boats were washed over several times,
while the inmates were clinging to it in
despair, and finally reaching land almost
dead from exposure. The storm, which
caused the wreck, continued to rage flu
riously. The dead bodies of the drown
ed were dashed against the island. The
people on the island we're rescued by
the Athabasca, by sending out boats.
Attention was first attracted by signs Of
the wreck. The list of passengers can
only be secured at Toronto or at Sault
Ste. Marie. The Algona was a splen-
didly equipped Clyde built steamer,
lighted by electricity, and complete in
every detail, and the furnishing luxur-
ious. She cost $45O,OOO.

Catholics and Temperance.

Tho archbishop and bishop Of the
Catholic churches Of the United States
at the close Of the third plenary council
held at Baltimore in December, 1884, -is-
sued q pastoral letter to the clergy and
laity Of their charges. The pastoral let
ter, as usual, contained a summary ofthe.
DEGREES or rules passed by the council,
and when published, one paragraph at
tracted considerable attention.. 1t read
as follows: There is one way of profan-
ing the Lords day which is so prolific Of
evil results that we consider it our duty
10 utter against it a special condemns
ton. This is the practice Of selling beer
or other liquors on Sunday, or Of fire..
quenting of places where they are sold.
This practice tends more than any other
to turn the day Of the Lord into a day
of dissipation; to use it as an occasion
for breeding intemperance. While we
hope that Sunday laws or this point will
not be relaxed, but even more rigidly
enforced, we implore all Catholics, for
the love food and of country, never to
take part in such traffic, nor to counte-
nance or to %patronize it, and we not only
direct the attention of all pastors to the
repression of this abuse, but we also call
upon them to induce all of their focks
that may be engaged in the sale of
liquors. to abandon, as soon as they can,
the dangerous traffic, and to embrace a
more becoming way Of making a living,

Mr. James f. Gowen, brother of Franklin
b. Gowen, Of the Reading railroad, died
Monday afternoon at his residence in Mount
Airy, after a lingering illness. He was born
at Mount Airy and was admitted to the bar
in 1851. He was among the most distin-
guished corporation lawyers in Philadelphia,
and for many years had been engaged as
counsel for the Philadelphia q Reading rail
road company. Mr.. Gowen was an energetic
and conscientious worker, and since the
Reading company became so deeply involved
in litigation the strain upon his nervous sys.
tenn was so great AS TO cause prostration from
which he finally died. Mr.. Gowen was the
candidate of the Democracy for judge of
common pleas in 1876, but he declined the
honor In accordance with his wishes no bar
meeting will be held.

incompetent LEGISLATORS.

1t has been forty-three days since the
legislature of Pennsylvania met. 1t has
passed one bill and that has been vetoed.
There is every indication that the session
will be prolonged and Improbable. The
only three subjects of real Importance be-
fore the assembly are those of apportion.
ment, appropriations, and the enforcement
of the provisions of the new constitution
touching the regulation of corporations.
Upon none of these does the majority
party in the legislature seem to have any
well-defined public policy, and nobody Of
any strength or Importance in that body is
pushing any of the leading questions to
settlement.
There Is a most lamentable waste of time
and lack of directness In the management
of our legislative business. 1t is palpabe
in the proceedings of Congress now, where
the great appropriation bills are driven
through under whip and spur, after the
waste of much time in proftless discussion
OF empty issues. 1t is even more apparent
III Harrisburg, where the incompet ency of
the legislature is most forcibly attested by
its inattention to public business. 1t loses
no chance to adjourn and possibly the less
it does the better. The danger is that it
will crowd all the work of the session into
the last few weeks of it, and the eresult will
be mass of hasty and ill-considered legis-
lation.
The most of the propositions that take up
the time and attention of the assembly
should never have any liberation from any
! intelligent member. They should not be
introduced to cumber the calendars, en-
gage the attention of the committees and
obstruct public business. For example,
while great and essential questions wait
and are undetermined from one Legislature
70 the other, time is wasted upon such
trash as the proposition to compel the
teaching in the public schools oflthe effects
OF alcohol upon the human stomach: to
direct local authorities to spend s35 upon
the interment Of any destitute person who
may have been a soldier, and the like.
Perhaps the public are to blame in send
ing to the legislature the class of men, as
whole, who are usually selected for this
service, and whose conspicuous unfitness
has almost robbed the government in its
practical operations Of its representative
diameter. But even the good men who
get to the legislature and into Congress.
seem to fall into habits of the service and
to soon get afflicted with the dry rot. We
should like " see some one OF these rise In

LANCASTER, FEBRUARY is, 1885.
Taking Care Of Grant.

The House has refused to vote Grant
into the retired list Of the army, although
nearly two-thirds Of the members were IA
vorable to the proposition. Among those
who voted against the bill were some who
were In favor of the object of 1t, but VINO
objected to the form Of the bill as one
likely to secure the presidents veto. III
specifically names General Grant as the
man to he put on the retired list, and the
president has heretofore vetoed bill OF
like form for Porter. The Senate has
passed bill to get around the presidents
objection. 1t does not name Grant, but
effects its object by words of circumlocution.
The Democratic congressman generally are
not willing to help the president to crawl
out Of his hole with any such devious de-
vice. If he Is in favor Of Grant being PEN
stoned off on the country they want him to
say 80.
Some Democrats, however, are so full OF
their desire to impose Grant upon the PEN
sion list Of the country, at great salary
for doing absolutely nothing, that they say
they will vote for any kind of bill that
will accomplish the object. Mr.. Randall is
said to be of that number. As
Mr.. Randall has achieved high
reputation as an economist in Congress,
his position in this matter is notable. 1t
shows that he considers that the country is
under on obligation to Grant, which it has
not yet reqnited.
General Rosecrans thinks otherwise. He
voied against the bill because he thought
that Grant had been rewarded beyond his
deserts already and that he was a greatly
overrated soldier. This is the opinion OF
a great many people and it is q growing
opinion but it is evidently not the opinion
Of a majority of Congress.
General Grant has within the past veal
exhibited himself as the partner in firm
of spectators which was able, under the
influence of his name, to do bigger swind
ling business than any firm ever did before
But it is not for this probably that con
gressmen want to reward Grant. 1t is be
cause he did not know his partner was
swindler, because he was himself swindled
and because he has only a12, 800 year L
live on. We have to say to Mr.. Randall, o
any congressman who proposes to plac
Grant ON the retired list, that we believ
the opinion Of the people to be against tn
measure because they consider s12, 800
year to be sufficient income for even an ex
president and ex-general and becaus
they do not believe that they are under an.
obligation to lift their ex-president
and ex-generals out of.the mud if the.
have not sense enough themselves to keel
out of it. General Grant has been presiden
and banker since he was general, and h
has not been distinguished for his wisdom
in either place. He has been q dead fail
ure everywhere out Of the army. And i
he is slung back into it now, the only ex
cuse for the vote Of rational Democrat t
do it must be that he fears to trust the il
lustrious blunderer to be loose in the land

JOHN 8. BARBOUR, of Virginia, who is
named for the cabinet, would be an excep-
tionally good selection. He has remarkably
good executive abilities and has had large
experience in executive duties. He has
been, uutil within the past year,
the president of the Virginia Mid
land railroad. 1t was under his direc-
tion that the Democratic party in Virginia
was led out of the wilderness. He is a
member of the next Congress, but can well
be spared from that field to discharge the
more responsible duties to which his talents
are better adapted.
