THE VOICE OF FLOWERS.

Read before Nebraska State Horticultural
Society,"
At Natures throne, free and alone.
BY zephyr's gentle breeze caressed,
Bow there your heads, ye mortals of the art,
To voiceless lips, o flowers.
Each cup a pulpit. each leaf a text,
a. prayer in each petal soft,
That lights the gloom of saddest heart,
And grace and goodness sends aloft.
Floral apostles with dew-clad brows,
Blush without sin and weep without crime,
Bow there your heads and deeply learn,
And ne'er surrender your love divine.
Sweet as the morning light they are,
Sweet as a mothers love,
Rocked by the winds of heaven above,
Washed by the springs Of crystal dew.
Tokens of pure and boundless love,
Emblems of innocence divine,
Emblems of the brighter land,
Where never comes the blight of time.
Sweet as the r%lppling brook that flows,
Across Nebraska's fertile plains;
An eagle sailing to and fro
Across the billowy grass below.
From shore to shore the ocean round,
From shaggy mountains, coral isles,
Spring out from hills and moss-clad rocks.
Breathe soft and deep yc towering pines.
To every flower in springtime sweet,
Then crocus springs, the violet peeps,
And struggling vines begin to creep.
Now winter brown gives place to tints,
Both soft and rich. as spring draws on,
And hearts turn gay, both old and young,
Because the spring and blossoms come.
Breathe Natures praise in every Towering
leaf,
From cloud to cloud spring incense rare.
And praise to Him who hath bestowed
On us such wealth OF blossoms fair.

TWO FAMILIES CREMATED.
Persons Burned to Death in an
Alnbama Community.

AlaDama Conn UNITY
Mobile, Ala. Oct. 2I.-The startling
news was received in this city yester-
day chat fourteen people had been
burned to death mt n place known as
FARES, in Baldwin county. about mir
ty miles northeast of Mobile. The in
formation was brought to this city by
Captain Joseph l.. Jordan. who resided
i'll the locality of the fatality. 1t ap-
pears that some time during Monday
night last fire destroyed the dwellings,
of Harry GOodlOw and Samuel Smith
son, cremating all the occupants of
both houses. The Goodlow family con-
sisted of father mother and six chill
dren. There were six persons residing
in the Smithson home. the husband.
wife. three children and Il sister of Mr..
Smithson.
No cause could be discovered for the
fire and il is believed to have been OF
accidental origin. The pine trees sur
rounding the house caught fire from
the flames and added to the destruc-
tion. They also prevented any as
sistance from reaching the persons in
the houses. The families formed part
of n colony of emigrants who had set
tied in this region. These two families
had come from Iowa. Goodlow having
been in the neighbOrhood for some
three years while Smithson had only
recently reached the locality

BRITISH VICTORIES" TOO COSTLY.
Opinion of an American Officer of the
South African Situation.


South African Situation.
Washington. Oct. 21.-The bureau of
military information here is preparing
a map of the scene of war in South
Africa, and officers of the department
are closely studying press dispatches
from there. Reading between the
lines" said one officer yesterday morn
ing. lit appears to disinterested mill
tary men here that a summary of the
situation is that the British have won
three glorious victories and retreated
sixty miles with considera BILE precision
by circuitous route. AT Glencoe the
Beers Were utterly routed, and yet the
British cavalry which charged into the
flying Dutchmen was all captured but
thirty men. while the victorious Brit
ish main body retired sixteen miles in
one day. which is big days march,
and abandoned it's wounded.
The second great victory WAS won
by another body of British at Glands
laagte. thirty miles nearer Ladysmith,
yet the force which routed the Beers
at this point does not seem to have
followed up its advantage. for next
we hear of it il is fighting another
battle some twenty miles in the rear.
To American military eyes il looks as
if these apparent flying retreats of the
Beers Were only part of their tactics.
We know they are not well drilled in
regular formation.
Their warfare consists in the eXer
else of craftsmanship till il comes to
the point of standing up against Il bay
onet charge, which no mob formation
ever could do. The Dutch therefore
get back as quickly as they can under
the next line to cover and wait for the
British to again expose themselves IN
an open charge when the slaughter of 1
the charging officers and men is re- !
newed.
"A loss of 600 in these three small :
engagements by the British. consid- |
cring the size of their total force. makes !
IL apparent that a continuation of Brit |
ish victories such as these would soon !
leave the Beers. with no enemies in the 1
field fit for service. 1t is seldom that |
severely censored dispatch have told !
so plain story of defeat in such win
ming language"
