Flowers of Field, Hill and Swamp. By
Carolina A. Creevey. This volume is in
tended to be a help to those who have not
much botanical knowledge, in Identifying
plants and flowers The flowers are
grouped upon the basis of environment.
A plant born in wet soil will not flourish
on dry and one adapted to the open field
will not bury it's seeds in the cool mould
of deep woods. So that the work of iden-
LITIGATION is much simplified by this
method of grouping. One chapter is de :
voted to flowers that grow ON the banks
Of streams, another to those that flourish
in the swamp, and in like manner the
seacoast, low meadows, dry fields and
waysides are each taken in turn. Plants
Which were originally cultivated but
escaping from gardens have become wild
are grouped together as are also the
plants of the rocky hillsides, the open
woods, the deep moist woods and the
sandy places. Over 125 full page drawings

the time that Lincoln was waiting for
the moment when God wanted him TO
act his critics were declaring that the
country was going to wreck and ruin.
The speaker referred, in this connec-
ton, to the fact that after the signing
of the emancipation proclamation, that
the Union armies did not have a single
serious reverse, but that success always
crowned their aims. When they were
finally successful it was not only for an
enslayed people but for nation as
well.

G. A. r. marched to the Thomson NJ
E. church, on the Island, where they
were addressed by the pastor, Rev.
c. E. Clarke. The sermon was for the
benefit Of the G. A. R. and the Woman's
Relief Corps, who were also present.
Rev. Mr.. Clarke based his remarks on
the scriptural text, They were slain
with the sword" The sword is the
weapon of carnage and warfare. Every
nation has had its great epoch. Every
nation venerates its hero. America, as
well as other nations, has had its great
epoch and we have the privilege Of
commemorating the lives Of not only
a few heroes, but of hundreds, yea
thousands who have given their lives
for principals dear to them. The speaker
said he did not speak of warfare glow
ingly but, while he did not believe
God endorsed warfare, yet he thought
that God overrules the follies Of men,
and brings out Of their mistakes re-
suits for their own good. He reviewed
the history of the country previous TO
the war and the causes that led up TO
the sad civil strife. He said that in
stead Of weeping on account Of the war
it was his thought that the sorrow
should have been felt for the conditions
that made the war necessary.
He delivered a forceful condemnation
of anti-belum slavery and strongly
criticised even those who had indirectly
avoided to reproach it during its eX-
istence. Included among these were
those bishops of the Methodist church
who refused to send religious tracts or
the Bible to the negro race for fear it
might encourage them to insurrection
or make an effort for their liberty.
The Methodist church received a warm
eulogy for its part in stirring up the
sentiment of abolitionism, and Wendell
Phillips was praised for the remarkable
work he accomplished in bringing about
the downfall of slavery by melting men
through the power of his wonderful
eloquence. The minister stated that it
was on such occasions as the COM
remuneration of these events that en-
phasies the value of human liberty.
Four thousand years ago the voice Of
God spoke to Moses to let his children
go out Of the bondage of Egypt. When
Jesus Christ, two thousand years ago,
came into the world. he said he came
to open the eyes of the blind and 10
set at liberty the captive Thirty years
ago God spoke again. This time it was
through the instrumentality Of Abra-
ham Lincoln. 1t was not human wis
dom that nominated Abraham Lincoln
for the presidency, for human wisdom
said that his nomination and election
had been a mistake, and during all

Thursday evening Of this week brings
the Oratorio concert, which has probab-

its appointments, the advance circulars
show, and that it will mark an epoch in
the musical history of Wheeling is also
an assured fact; and above all, the con-
tinued interest of every one concerned in
any way in this society is the most en-
couraging for the efforts of next season,

TREASURY DOLLARS SAFE.
New burglar Alarm Makes Robbery
Next to Impossible.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
The eleven vaults and four safes, which
protect the vast sums in gold, silver and
notes in the treasury department are
hardly the kind of cribs the ordinary
craftsman would attempt to rifle. Hedged
in by combination time locks and special
watchmen, compassed round by walls or
steel and concrete, they do not offer a
tempting field for even the most skillful
or sauguine knight of the jimmy. STILL
given sufficient time, any mechanical con-
trivance must yield to another in skilled
hands, and the officials have recently IN
stalled a system of burglar alarms that
would make the treasures of the nation
safe if they were only guarded by sheet
iron cases.
This system, now covering all the vaults

provides for a series of Jackets lining tHe
safes and vaults, connected on one gem

are complete electrical conductors, ana the
slightest attempt to tamper with any OF
the vaults or safes would Immediately turn
in an alarm to the central watch station
of the department, as well as to the oIlico
