THRE2 FLOODS.

TO those of our readers who have
access to the daily papers, any com
mcnt upon the great Johnstown dis
astcr will lie uni1tere.ting; but t.
those Of our readers who sec only
weeklle8, there is interest in a brief
review and comment.
For days and days the story Of
the sweeping destruction has been
told throughout the country, and
every mail brings fresh horrors OF
the awful doom of the city and the
people of the fated valley. Immense
engines are at work removing the
foul debris but the suffering and
death that must ensuc, together
with that already experienced can
never lie told.
From al ports OF thc nation come
willing offerings and brawny hands
to help and save the suffering un-
fortunatcs. The Governor of Penn,
sylVanla visited JOhnstown Sunday,
and bis prompt efforts for the reliei
of the suffering and the progress OF
the work, was highly commcndable
In all the history of the American
people there has not come upon any
section such direful calamity. De-
spite the great loss of life and pro
perty and general decentralization
the business of the city will soon be
in operation again. This sore dis
tress that has befallen our neigbors
should soften the hearts of all the
more fortunate, in aims and prayers
for the relief of the suffering.

NoblCnlcn Neglected.,

In all the after dinner speaking at
Chapel Hill last week there was
nothing said for the University men
as farmers. Did it occur to those
present that some of the noblest and
best and most praisewoCthy men
who have gone out from the Univer~
sity are farmers? Is it not the case
with all our institutions Of learning
that they TOO often forget and neg
lect those men who are the bone and
sincW Of the land?
No wonder that ambitious young
men do never turn their Thoughts
FOX the first time to the farm as a
place where they may 40 well and
satlate their laudable ambition by
doing 4 great work in the field.
They are too seldom honorcd for
their toll and their pans.
When will the time come when
farmer boys may learn and delie ht
to remember the words of the en-
bryo farmer which this writer learns
cd when a mere child?
They come back to us now:
~ ain little husbanIman,
Work and labor hard can;
l am as happy all the day
At my work as if 'twere play"
Let the boys be taught this prin-
ciple and then let them be recogniz
ed when they have done we'll as
farmers, and there will not be among
our ambitious boys and young men
such an aversion to farm life. 1t is
not because they dread the work;
but because they see no future and
little distinction IN it. Hold I'd the
hands Of the farmer, for he holds M
the world.

Of the Office he should resign. One report
tonight was that President Harrison had ad-
vised Commissioner Tanner to resign. Gen.
Alger. commander-in-chief of the G. A R.:
Gov. Foraker, of Ohio, and Commander Will
son, of Kansas, are all said 10 have tele-
graphed Tanner, urging him not to resign.
These messages, together with the influence
Of his wife, are said to have been instru-
mental in holding the commissioner back
from following the advice of the president.
Mrs. Tanner is reported to have said that if
her husband resigned the Office OF commis-
sioner of pensions she would
CHOOSE TO TAKE IN WASHING
rather than that be should accept the Office
of United States marshal Of New York. To-
night q committee of the @. A. r. of the dis
trict. headed by Gen. S. s. Burdette, ex-com-
mander-in-chief, called at the White house
10 see the president in behalf of the pension
commissioner. but it was after he had retired.
He sent word that he would be glad to see
them in the morning; Several, g. A. r.
friends spent the evening with the commits
sioner, but they declined to say
what il anything. was the result
of their conference. The commissioner
steadily denied himself to newspaper men.
