The insecurity of earthly possessions and
the uncertainty Of human life have rarely
been 80 strikingly illustrated as by the awful
catastrophe in Conemaugh Valley, by which
whole towns were almost wiped out of exist.
ence and their inhabitants, with scarcely q
moments warning, overwhelmed in food
of waters aud destroyed.
The first accounts received gave picture
of such horror and woe as was calculated Ia
excite in all sympathy for the unfortunate
ones so.suddenly and swiftly hurried to their
death. These accounts, frightful and heart
rending as they were, fell far short of the
reality. Later and more detailed descrip.
,ions show the calamity TO be of such msgni.
tude and terror as will give it place in his.
tory through all time.
The number of those who persisted will in
all probability never be known, and there is
scarcely town in the country in which there
is not mourning and distress for the loss OF
relatives or kindred, near or remote. The
connected and complete story of the disaster
Is yet to be written, but the tale of woe as re-
lated by the survivors, is enough to melt a
heart of stone.
IL is to the credit OF human nature that ap-
pcals for aid to the sufferers from the recent
storms, all over the country, seem scar cely TO
be needed, and relief is pouring in from all
quarters. In our own and our sister States
the ruin and devastation is general and wide
spread but, while we should take account OF
all, the magnitude of Johnstown's sorrow
claims the first place in our sympathies and
almost bushes the complaints from other sec
tions. The daily press bring to us accounts
oipublic meetings all over the land to give
practical expression to this feeling for the
misfortunes of our fellow creatures, heart
broken and suffering in body and spirit.
President Harrison presided at meeting
held in Washington, on Tuesday, and made
an earnest speech Ten thousand dollars
were contributed in the hall. The Legisla-
ture of Massachusetts has appropriated $780,
900. Philadelphia's contributions in cash
amount TO 100000. Baltmole's contribu-
lions amount to over $4,000. New York
has sent $l14,5O0. Chicago has subscribed
100000. The National Brewers. Association
gave $4,000. The municipal council of
Paris, France, appropriated 5000 francs.
In all our large cities like course has been
pursued. The Masonic fraternity, as well as
other benevolent associations all over the
land, are coming forward nobly. Mr. White
law Reid, the United States minister to
France, called meeting of Americans in
Paris to start subscriptions, and Americans
in England are making spontaneous offerings
for the sufferers.
These things are pleasant TO chronicle and
1t is indeed in times like these that we see hu-
man nature at its worst and at its best as
well. Johnstowns disaster, while it led to
acts of atrocity that make us shudder, occa-
stoned, also, u display of those heroic traits
which elevate man in the scale of being and
effect honor upon our race
