some fifteen or. twenty minutes at that
point. Colonel Edgar Will furnish you

Colonel Smith was with the Sixty-sccond

500 or 600 yards Ia our right. ] felt

Calamity's Place in the Universe.

Difficult as ills TO understand the

structive cataclysms as those which have
shocked the world during the past few
DAYS, the reasons underlying them in

purposeless loss Of life permitted? What.
in short, Is the function of calamity IN

San Francisco could have no possible
effect upon tho fortunes Of New York,
yet every person in thnt city WHO owns
