1T certainly is crying shame or a

HelEll HO!

On any other grounds than that Bro.
Helfens tein is disposed to be querulous
the severe bit of editorial criticism al.
lowed as on Saturday last is inexplica-
BILE. True, he is as yet, an amatuer and
we know their weaknesses for tlltlng IN
a tournament Of phrases, yet after hav.
ing carefully read our article, that we
might discover wherein we had so far
forgotten ourselves as to indulge in
"tirade,' we have failed to find aught
that may not readily be accepted as
complimentary to the Times. Wehave
admired the Times under the new man
agement, have nothing to recant that
we have written and no emollient where
with to soothe it's ruffled feelings other
than the assertion that the original in
tent and a careful re-reading stand
squarely to the proof that the Times
has chastlsed us, under a misapprehen.
sion.
Until the new editorial management
of the Times has had some Of its anna
tuerish sklttishness remoulded by ex-
perience into veteran moral strength
we shall carefully frame our compli-
ments in the stereotyped forms, ''our
valued exchange "our excellent friend,
the Times, "our distinguished contem.
porary,'' etc. ; these phrases have not
only the merit Of eloquence, but their
face values are such, that the most care.
less reading thereof may be relied upon
to give them their proper meaning and
intent.

The reports from the experiment OF
high license in Massachusetts, seems to
be altogether favorable. Mt only have
the number of saloons been diminished
more then one.half, with an increase IN
the amount of license fees, but the &C
tual sales of liquor have been consider
ably diminished. The law has been
thoroughly enforced and no increase in
the number of unlicensed places or in
illegal selling has been noticed. Al
together the friends Of temperance have
reason to congratulate themselves on
the result of high license in Massachus'

physician constantly hammered into his
mind that he was an impostor, and
finally his resolution gave way and he
admitted that he had been practicing
deception ever since he had the epllep-
tic fits on the st. Mary.
This was o most remarkable confess
siof. He had endured pain and tor'
ture of almost every kind without 6.
murmur, simply for the purpose OF
being d curiosity and deceiving the
physicians. He picked up enough
knowledge to carry him through by
reading medical books while on the
sehoolship. Such endurance as he
showed was never seen before, and
the manner in which he could control
the muscles so as to prevent the out
ward manifestation of pain, by will
power, aidel as 1t probably was by a
body not naturally sensitive, will be an
interesting study for students in meta
physics. Fitzgerald now admits that
he felt everything that was done to him,
apl says that the pain at times was
severe.

THE MAN WHO RODE TO coNEMA UGH


Into the town of Conemaugh,
Striking the peoples souls with awe,
Dashed rider, aflamc and pale,
Never aghting to tell his tale,
Sitting his big bay horse astride,
"Run for your lives to the hillsl" he cried;
Run to the hills!" was what he said
As he waved his hand and dashed ahead.
"Run for your lives to the hillsl" he cried,
Squirting his horse, whose reeking side
Was fiecked with foam red as fiame
Whittier he goes and whence he came
Nobody knows They see his horse
Plunging on in his frantic course,
Veins distended and nostrils wide,
Fired and renzed ut such q ride.
Nobody knows the riders name
Dead forever to earthly fame.
"Run to the hills to the hills!" he cried;
"Run for your lives to the mountuin-sidel
"Stop him he's mad just look Mt him go!
'Tain't SAFE" they said, "to let him ride so. -
He thinks to scare U.S." said one, with a
laugh,
"But Conemaugh folks don't swallow no
chaf
'Taint nothing, III bet, but the same old
leak
In the dam above the South Fork Creek"
Blind to their danger, callous of dread,
They laughed as he left them and dashed
ahead.
"Run for your lives to tho hills " he cried
Lashing his horse in his desperate ride.
Down through the valley the rider passed.
Shouting. and squirting his horse on fast;
But not so fast did the rider go
As the raging, roaring, mighty flow
OF the million feet and millions more
OF water whose fury he fed before.
On he went, and on it came,
The flood itself mighty flame
Ofsurging, swrling, seething tide,
Mountain high and torrents wide.
God alone might measure the force
or the Conemaugh food in it's v-shaped
course.
Behind him were buried under the food
Conemaugh town and all who stood
Jeerng there at the man who cried
"Run for your lives to the mountain -sidel"
On lie sped in his fierce wild ride.
"Run to the hills to tho hillsl ho cried
Nearer, nearer came the roar
Horse and rider fed before.
Dashing along the valley ridge,
They came at last to the railroad bridge
The big horse stood, the rider cried,
run for your lives to the mountain sdel"
Then plunged across, but not before
The mighty, merciless, mountain roar
Struck the bridge and swept it away
Like u bit of straw or wisp of hay,
But over and under and through that tide
The voice of the unknown rider crcd
"Run to the hils!" to the hillsl" it cried
"Run for your lives to the mountain -sde!"

California's Seed Trade.

The seed trade appears to be destined
to very great expansion i'll California
Mt not very distant period In the
single county of Santa Clara, not less
than !, 200 acres arc now devoted to the
production of garden socis. Over co.
600 pounds of lettuce seed and 10000
pounds of onion seed have been shipped
East in single season. In other coun-
ties quito important business has been
developed i'll the production of clover
seed, heams and peas for the supply OF
distant markets. While the State may
not secure the monopoly Of the seed
business, because good seeds are grown
in the Atlantic States, Tie rapid increase
of business in California indicates that
one at least Of the great cent es OF the
seed business is said to be in that State.
The quality Of many small seeds pro-
duced there, such rs onion and lettuce,
will have much to do in bringing the
seed interest into greater prominence.

The Balm of Gilead.

Balm of Gilead, in English, stands
for several distinct plants, and is sutfi-
cient proof that some other than the
English or any living language, is
neces sary, in scientific sense, TO name
plants by. For example, we have II
poplar known by this name, and to
botanists as Abelc balsamifera var. can
dicans, and so named on account of n
resinous gum that covers the buds of
the tree early in the spring, and of q
stroag perfume. Then there is plant
called Balm of Gilead that used to be
cultivated by cottagers and others in the
garden and window, of n delicious fra
GRANGE of the leaves when rubbed, anu
which is Dracocephalum canariense, n
plant with blue flowers from the Canary
Isles. 1t is also called Dragons head,
one variety, ID. parvihorum, being com
mon in this country on rocky places and
by our lakes.
the Balm of Gilead spoken of i'll the
! Scriptures, and known in the form of a
drug, is obtained from q plant called
Amylis Gileadensis, growing to the size
of small shrub, with protuberant buds
ant, ,oaded with balsamic resin. Lin
nnus, in naming this plant, obtained
the name from the Greek and muron,
meaning a balm. The English word
balm, or baum, itself being derived
from the Greek, meaning to heal. 1t
formed IN article of merchandise across
the desert, that we know of when Joseph
was sold to the Egyptians, seventeen
hundred Yeas before the Christian era,
very much as it is known to this day,
and is graphically spoken of in
jeremiah rs healing balm for all
wounds.
There is number of species, and
among them the famous rosewood of
commerce, A. balsamifera, also called
candlewood, is found in Jamaica. All
parts of the tree are full of the warm
aromatic PARTICLES, of considerable value
in medics, as are others found on the
same island. There is one member Of
the genus, native of East Florida
named A. floridana by Nuttall. -
