A ROMANTIC DISAPPEARANCE. OUR GROWTH OF SILK. S0.11K SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES. AN ENGLISH GENTLEMAN ROBBER. SPAKE THE TKEK. Tin- Reckless Destruction I iur forest. " A. S." In the X. y.Sun. Ne subject is of graver imiiuit te the future of this'centiucut than the protec tion and preservation of its forests. Sir Samuel Baker, who recently returned from a huuting expedition in the Big Hern country of Wyoming, said that the exten sive and wanton burning of the Recky mountain woodlands was an evil of such UEftli i UMfe-tkat-he waj astonished talindj hundreds of square miles in a blaze, Cllr- r ryiug en the march et devastation until quenched by a heavy rain-fall or arrested by the high mountain tops above timber line. The reckless miners and thoughtless hunters, traders and travelers, who are responsible for this prodigious waste, bid fair te convert fertile valleys and copious river sources into arid dcssvts and dried -up gulches. It is a well-known law that forest de struction of a whelesale character dimin ishes rainfall, aud eventually banishes it altogether. Hence the anxiety of the mere enlightened governments te save their native and primeval timber intact, knowing that its reproduction and pres ervation are the life's bleed of the country itself. What will be the ultimate result, judging from evidences of the East'.' Onr rich Western regions will beceme gradu ally parched ; brooks aud streams will die out forever ; important feeders of a great river system will beceme extinct, lowering the level perhaps of such, a channel as the Mississippi river, and one word will be written across tha face of the country desolation. That this is no cxaggciatien may be un derstood from the fact that it was recently reported at the auuual meeting of the Ge ographical society of Vienna by Council lor Wcx, that the Velga is decreasing in volume, owing te the destruction of weed in its valley, se as te materially affect the level of the Caspian Sea and the Sea of Aral. It is apparent, therefore, that tlie most vital question in connection with that wonderful domain beyond the Kooky mountains is the preservation of its for ests. As long as it is possible for one adventurer te build his camp lire in the weed aud 'leave it te tlie mercy of 1 he winds, thus laying waste te what would be a lespeetable county in our common wealth, this destruction ami consequent physical disorder will go en. Appropriate legislation sternly executed is only a par tial remedy. The science of forestry, as studied aud applied in the elder countries of Europe, niut be introduced and cultivated here. In nearly all of the countries el the Old World forestry, in connection with climat climat elOniS geology and kindred branches, is taught in nearly all the universities, and the several, governments take an especial iutciest in expeit graduates in this branch. Particularly is this true, curiously enough, in countries where is the largest proportion of woodland, as in Russia, Sweden, Germany and Austria. The lowest occurs in Great Biitain. Dennnuk, Spain and llelliud. Over forty-two per cent, of the acreage of Russia is finest, while Britain has but a little ever three percent. In. Germany mere attention is given te arboriculture than in any ether western power. America, of all quartets of the weild, is the most thickly weeded with the primeval ferci-t, and was of vast extent and con tained a great variety of species, cohering, wills insignificant exceptions, all that por tion of our continent which was occupied by the colonists ; but, new it is doubtful, according te the very best autheiitics, if an j' state of the Union, save Oregon, has mere woodland than it ought permanently te preserve. Our Eastern aud Middle state wcre at oue time ticuse forests, while new Pennsylvania alone has preserved her timbcr fhe ether stales ate compelled te ! send te Canada aud the West, te supplv their market. Our government, however, began early te perceive the danger of in discriminate forest felling. In 1817, and again in 1831, statutes weie passed te restrict spoliation. Yet it may be judged that the woodland is largely suffering when we remember that there aic ever 00,000 saw mills in the United States, nearly all doing a ilemisiitng busi ness. In some states special legislation provides for adequate protection, aud in California a state forester has been ap pointed. The devastation in that stale has been cuorineus, and in Texas also, where the supply of trees is totally inadequate, and where destructive tornadoes prevail, together with extensive lircs. In view of the facts stated, it is plain that intelligent and prompt action should be taken by Congress te prevent further spoliation. The absolute necessity is ap parent in the net encouraging fact that already ever two-fifths of the" entire area of the United Slates is se arid that even aititicial irrigation cannot new icdeein it ; indeed, west of the Mississippi, owing te the feiest fires largely, one-sixth of the entire territory alone is susceptible te cul tivation. In Colerado, New Mexico, Ai i i zena, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho atd Mentana, net one-fifth of the area can ever be rendered available, and it is doubtful, without expedients new unknown, if any of these territories will support mere than 1500,000 people at a time ; and in Wyom ing net ever 5,000 square miles in the 100,000 square miles of area can be termed arable land. The question then arises : What is the best method of achieving practical results for the preservation et whatever physical advantages we possess in our national do main, and no inquiry of greater magnitude can be addressed te the Forty-seventh Congress. tuk lest found. A Runaway Girl Lenjr Hidden Cemes Ferth as a Blooming Matren. Before the police of Philadelphia were notified of the disappearance of Charlie Ress they were already en the lookout for another child, a girl of rather less tender age, win . d mysteriously vanished from Titus ill. . i't. This young woman has at last made :.er whereabouts known, and has been lesterai te :: : mother. She is new a married wem..i . At tire time she was eleven yeais old her mother, Mrs. Julia Kelly, icsidcd in Titusville. On May 8, 1873. Mrs. Kelly sent her little daughter Mary te a giecery st-nc. The child started en her rnaud, 1-ut never came back again. The mother .uiighther net only in Titusville, but in Bulla le, De troit, Chicago, Erie, Pittsburgh, Philadcl- phiaand ether towns in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohie, New Jersey, and New Yerk, the newspapers and police aiding her every where, but nowhere was any trace of the missing girl discovered. It is new known that Mary Kelly ran away from Titusville with an elder girl, who enticed her te Cleveland, whence they proceeded twelve miles te a small town called Berca, where Mary was taken into a minister's family, sent te school, and treated in all respects as a daughter of the house. Here she remained for three years, and then found employment in a store in Cleveland, where Frederick Lyen, of Bridgeport, Conn., met her and married her. With him she lived first in Chicace, then in New Yerk, then in Buffa lo for a year, at the expiration of which time they returned te New Y'erk, where Mrs. Lyen read a Herald personal inquir ing for Mary Kliy-Lyen, and referring te her mother, Jfcba Kelly, as resident in Harrisburg. Yeung Mrs. Lyen, it seems, knew that her mate real uncle, who was named Bacen lived in Titusville, and wrote te him in quiring for her mother. He forwarded the letter te Mrs. Kelly at her home in Harrisburg, and she at once went te New Yerk, where SupcrintendentWalling, whom she consulted, advertised for the address of Mrs. Lyen, recommending the mother te go home and await tue result of the Herald personal. Last Friday Mrs. Lyen appeared in Harrisbtug aud pro ceeded at once te her mother a with whom she had a very affecting meeting after se many years, aud whom she urged earn estly and affectionately te return with her te New Yerk, where she and her husband, Frederick Lyen, had opened a confection ery store. Why the young wife originally ran away from home, or why she did net let her mother knew what had become of her, or write te make inquiry about her home be bo be fere, the data from which this article is compiled de net state. Siillice it te say mother and daughter are new happy. The incident furnishes occasion for the remark that it would cause great rejoicing if the Ress case, which has been before the pub lic nearly as long, aud far mero conspic uously, could have an equally felicitous termination. Silk Culture. Ucrnmiilewn Telegraph. Contrary te general belief aud expecta tion, the production of raw silk really ap pears te have beceme extensively and firmly established in various parts of the ceuutry as a permaucnt national interest, and the results really attained are much mero substantial thau we have ourselves thought possible. This is purely the weik of agitation organized in Philadelphia as a centre, and continued laboriously and systematically through a scries of yeais under all herts of disadvantages and dis couragements. Originally this effort, e far from btiug aided by the :.ilk niauul'ac ttueis of the United States, was really op posed by them, for the important reason that they apprehended that there might be a clamor raised for a protective duty en the importation of foreign raw silk, which would necessarily be exceedingly injurious te the American producers of silk fabrics, for which industry the impor tation of foreign silk is indispensable. Still, the friends of silk-eulture pursued the even tenor of their way quietly, ener getically and diligently, and have new laid the foundations et what premises te be in the course of the next ten yens a great national silk crop. The raw ma terials for our silk industry are at present imported from China and Japan, India, Italy aud France, in all of which countries they have the advantage of cheap labor, skill and experience, and of the abundant domestic production of the raw material. We have built up aprospcreus and nour ishing silk industry which has been hith erto wholly dependent upon foreign coun ceun coun tiie.sfer the raw silk, hence the earnest ness exhibited in pushing en the American Mlk culture at the present time. Ait English Rebber at Heme. A gentleman was standing the ether evening in one cf the shadowy arcades of the' Coliseum at Reme, when he was somewhat brusquely hustled by a passing figure. With a quick instinct he clapped his hand te his watch pocket. His watch was gene ! He darted alter the thief, who turned sharply round, at the same time clutching a watch. "Give me that watch ! " A dash ! the stolen property was recovered. The startled robber disap peared, and the gentleman went home te of Is adventure and his prowess What was his consternation en entering his bed room, te find his own watch, which he had forgotten te put en, staring him in the face from the mantel-piece ! He had been the thief aud the ether wretched man had stumbled ever him iu the dark, and when overtaken and stepped was merely clutch ing his own watch, which he had net the net ve te rescue from the teuriss The tourist is new known te a wide and ad miring circle of fi iends as the " Bandit of the Coliseum." Tobacco and Celer Jtlimtncss. A Belgian physiciau has ascertained, during a tour of observation and iuquiry made at the request of the government authorities, that the very general ue of tobacco is the main cause of color blind ness ; aud this affection is new occasioning no slight anxiety both iu Belgium and Germany from its inilucncc en railway ac cidents, aud also from the military point of view. It is net surprising, therefore, that these facts have led te the issuing of orders in certain towns of Germany, for bidding all lads under sixteens years of a'c from smoking in the streets.
