WHY SHAKE AT DEaTRs ALagMe

The Johnstewn disastar having fur nishea newspaper food and pulpit oratorv for the million, but now on fagging wing, it may not be consid- cred amiss to state that 1t immeasure- ably dwarfs when contrasted with some otheF cllamties visited by God upon mankind, by ileod, earthquake, and fire, "because they were bad. Although the United States is boast iul and proud of out.rivaling other countries, yet she must, in respect to such calamlties, acknowledge that she is "a small potato and few in hill, V in comparison with China, Japan, Sicily, Syria, Italy and Span.
 The question as to whether Japan or China is entitled to the belt, is still hung up, each having knocked cut by flood 100000 lives in single round, The crewning effort of the former oc- cured in l70S, and the latter, al though she got away, in 1871, with 30,000, was not satisfied with the result. Sixteen years later China tried again and tied Japan by scoring 100000 by flooding Yellow river, and thus it was, between those oriental powers, a draw.
 The United States is also surpassed by other countries Tn the force and violence of its earthquakes. Her greatest effort was in 1911, and al though originally intended to surpass the quake of Lisbon, winch is histeri- cally stated to have extended over an area Of not less than 100000 miles, yet Yankee pride was humlhated by having to acknowledge 1t a mere tremble in comparison. Not satisfied the effort was renewed m Virginia, in 1875, the year that Boss Tweed eS- capped from his keepers while on a call at the house of his son-in-law, with no ethsr effect than causing a panic among State legislators then in session there, The Charleston affair, of later date, though immeasurably falling be- low that of Lisbon, or that of Calabria, whore 10000 persons perished, never theless greatly frightened tho negroes of South Carolina, and afforded an in. teresting theme for newspaper htera, ture.
 And while we must yield the palm to other countries for the magnitude and destructiyeness of their floods, and general effectiveness of earthquakes, we contend that the United States is not surpassed for her cyclones, and cite the one that swept through DOT, tions of Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa Kansas and Missouri in 1880, and in proof of our assertion, while standing upon the record of that event, we challenge proof to the contrary.
 While we are cast down, but not in despair, by other countries in regard te the eScelling magnitude of floods, earthquakes and volcanoes, we can point with confidence ts the effective ness of the kick of Mrs. Leary COW, in 1871, which resulted in the destruc- tion of $l75, 5,O00,0OO of Chicago prop erty, the biggest blaze since the burn. ing sf Moscow.

Although the Citizen of the 18th inst. announces that 1t has undoubted information that the Chuicahua cut throats, composing Geronimo's band, are shortly to be returned to San Car los, we can not credit that such an in sane order is officially entertained at Washington, However, it is well known fact that there is an organized set of misguided philanthroplsts who have schooled themselves into the be- lief that an Indian is of Gods an- nointed, and, therefore, incapable Of committing wrong, and that the whites alone are aggressive.
 |. Such, however, was not the opinion of the pilgrim fathers, who only re- tained an uncertain footing in New England, by stubborn defense agalnst the incursive acts of Philip, the recognized head of the PequodS, Arrangements, the Wampanoags, and other eastern tribes, whose namo alone was once a terror throughout Massachusetts and other of the pil- grim colonies.
 It is chiefly the descendants of the pilgrim fathers who are now render ing their false philanthrophy so con spicuously annoying to fronGersmen by insisting upon the return to his former hauntS of Geronimo, q born leader of men and cruel as death, and thus invite a renewal of the bloody deeds which were witnessed in the Southwest, prior to the surrender of the ChiricahuaS and their removal to the East

A recent Annapolis letter TO the Balti-

bench Of the Maryland Court Of Appeals
will be that Of Judge Frederick Stone, who
is also Chief Judge Of the Seventh Judici-
al Circuit, comprising the counties of Sc.
Mary's, Charles, Prince Georges and CAL
vert. His term expires by Constitutional
limitation as to age on February 2. 1890,
during the session Of the Legislature. when
he viii be 20 years old. Judge Stone was
elected to the bench in November, 1881,
defeating his opponent Judge Daniel r.
Magruder, by 2,245 majority. At the time
Judge Magruder asked for but failed TO re-
ceive the Democratic nomination and our
party had no nominee In the field for this
position at that election, though Judge Ma
gruder ran as an Independent candidate.
The first case in which Jndge Stone sat
after his elevation TO the appellate bench

Jehn @. Barber.
Correspondent &c of the Beacon.)
Col. John Gwinn Barber, who died in
washington city on Monday, the 18th in
slant, aged A years, was son Of the late
DIR. Thomas Barber, of this county. Col.
Barber was pupil at Charlotte Hall Acad-
envy when the civil war commenced, and
was among the first to enlist in the Confed-
crate army. He served through the war
and proved good soldier. At its close,
though his health was greatly impaired by
exposure In the army, he commenced the
struggle of life with great energy. A few
years after his return from the South, he
married Miss Fannie Barber, who with
seven children survive him. His death had
been expected for several months, yet IL
was q shock to his large circle of friends,
who not only respected, but admired him.
He was q man Of strong convictions, but
sterling integrity, and even those who diff
fered with him in opinion, freely acknowl-
edged his honesty of purpose. He scorned
to take an Unfair advantage Of any one;
and, while brave and courageous to fault,
he displayed all the courtesy and :hivalry
OF the true gentleman. His widow and
orphaned children have the full sympathy
OF the entire community, and all who knew
him express sorrow that one who had al
ways proved SD faithful to every trust,
whether public or private, should be thus
cut down in his prime.
