S., Juniata, At Ska. The iollitv of a sca-farinc; l'tfo ia pro verbial. Thero is not a boy in all tlio world, within tlio reach of books, who has not pondered over tho stories of the jolly, rollicking, careless and easy, going rover of tho sea. How his in terest has been aroused by tlio talcs oi adventurous sea dotrsl How ho has even stolen the hours from tho night, not to mention those moments surrep titiously taken from his studies of winch only a boy can civo an account to gorgo his fancy with tlio recitals of hcroio sailor ladr, who iu the truest nenao havo shaken the dust from their feet, who sleep in hammocks rocked by Btorm and wave, who havo been evo witnesses of monstrous sea ser pents, who have boarded treasuro lnp, and who havo dono greater im possibilities and seen stranger things than wero ever dreamed of 'n pniloso phv or npproved by common senso I With alt ltd clamour, amid tho fas cination of its surroundings for tho ocean has an irresistible charm for old nud vouiik alike the lifo of a sca-far- er is not auito all that fnnoy paintB. It is sometimes burdensome, often dull and nhvavs exposed to peril. Tho cloo quarters, even in tho most com modious steamers, which become ono s home for months and years, are the most irksome restraints. Tho strict disoipline, so essontial among men of all classes and dispositions, and tho ex- aotintr torms in which his duties ate cast, tend to reduce tho fanciful Bailor lite to tho hardpan of human experi ence, luo recmring watches, tho mosses, and the demands upon him at all hours and in all kinds of weather, bind him more closely than the arms of an ootopus ever embraced a deliri' ous story-teller. To bcinn with, a sailor must bo s healthy and robmt man. His duties are multitudinous, aud requiro great apitndc. A good deal of hard and rough work falls to his lot. There is no place on a man-of-war for any but the strongest, ncost enduring and hard iest of men. Tho law of tho survival of tho fittest is pretty suro to assert itself on shipboard, aud it generally favors those who can stand tho most knocks, and are built after tho model of tho deacon s one horso shay. Inasmuch as tho ship s crow is di vided into watehfs of four hours each, for Jackey to sleep loneer than four hours at a time is out ol tho question, and as ho is required to bo at his post of duty three times during tho twenty four hours, his dreams under the most favorablo circumstances, that ever ex ist on a war vessel, are quite apt to he interrupted. Ho is likely to be called up at any time, lrom doing Bloker work bolow t ) haulms at ropes above deck, and isn't suro of ordinary sloep, not to think ot unbroken dreams, tin til after ho has slept his full allow ance. Everyone on board a ship of war ii necessarily assigned to a particular tnees, for besides sleeping and workiog it stated hours jAck must needs cat at regular intervals. Iho' provisions for tho ship havo already becii provnl ed, consisting of those staple, articles that may be prepared and served at sea. An abunuanco ot wtioiesomo ami well cooked food is served'to tho men three times a dav, but without tho lux uries and refinements of table etiquette that aro to be fouud in well, saj Fifth Avcnuo Hotel. Tho crew is divided into messes of about sixteen men each, with ono of their number ns cook to prepare the food, wash the dishes and perform the various culinary duties for the mess To be sure, the dishes of a sailor aro not numerous, bis regulation kit con sisting of a tin cup, a tin pan and a spoon. In pleatant weather they spread their mess cloths on the spar deck, and nqualting about them in groups or Bitting upon boxes eat their fhip fare, but at other times tho berth cabin, which is devoted exclusively to the use of the crew, is made to resound with tho clatter of the dishts and the hurry and bustle of a ship's mess. A typical sailor does not spend much time at his mea's. He swallows his food as quickly as possible, and then lights his pipe for a few moments of real enjoyment, demonstrating the fact that he is an American in the highest sense, capable of eating his dinner it as many minutes as he has fingers on oue hand, leaving the nut ti r of digestion to laws of chance. Tlio less time Iik takes for his meals, the longer he may dovoto himself to Iho eolaco of his pipe. With his cup, pan and spoon, made of tin and sometimes the worse for usage, with a hammock aud blankets for a bod, with a bag in which to keep h'B clothes and with n small box for his needles and thread, a sailors out lit is complete He is allowed to havo nothing else. He mends his clothes, docs his own sewing and becomes about as Independent a man, in tho minor affairs of life, m ono is over likely to meet, Tho proyisious whioli wero put on board at the Navy Yard, in cans and uoxes and packages of every descrip tion and in quantities to last three months, aro prepared in tho galley by the ship's cook, a most important per son ago. Not only is this functionary responsible for tlio condition of tho food, which is served by tho mess cooks to thoir mates, but ho is regard, ed as the origin, by some ocoult gift, of all the yarns and rumors on ship board. It is supposed that a galley yarn can emanate from no source hut the ship's cook. Whether or not this faculty bears any I elation to tho cook ing or, tho food is not known, but one think is notorious the storage capa city ot, a sailer pastes all comprehen sion. His appetite is phenomenal, IIu cun eat moro in less timo than any other man in existence. It is no ex aggeration fo say that ho cats as muoh as throo or four ordinary land-men, without any inoonvcnlenco, and all that within ten hours, fantintz the re maining fourteen hours. Tho ship's cook starts tho galley fires at throo o'clock in tho morning and puts them out at seven iu tho eveuiug, during whioh ho meets tho wants of about throo hundred sailors with the euuiva lei.t of not less than nlno hundred woU.deyeloped and vlgorutii appotitcs, Iu tho supplies of a man-of-war, noxt in importance to tho guns for a show of defense, tobacco is considered tho most essential. To meet tbeso do- mands, largo quantities of tho weod in its most equislto form, sweet ind lus cious plugs, aro put on board before sailing, and served to tho mon accord. ing to established r.iloa. A truo sailor is fond of his pipo, which is always in his mouth during smoking hours, a comforter in his trials and a solaco at all times. Un the war ships the privilego of smoking is limited to certain hours of tho day, which do not need a gong or even 'a tina-pieoo to announce their arrival. However tempted to eiuov a surrepti tious smoke, as Jackey is sometimes prompted to do, ho does not often Uko such a risk upon himself, for a viola Hon ot tho smoking privileges deprives tho jolly tar of his tobacco for several day?, which is to him a most condign punishment. To allay any desiro to sraoko out ot hours Jack is given to chewing bo tyveen times. Nearly all sailors aro smokers and chowers of tho weed, in- dulging in ono or the other practico almost incessantly. Tho common sa luto among sailors on deck is tho in tcrrogation "Any terbackcr on yot" which is otteu heard, as well as that modest request "Give tt9 a chaw, will ye!" And to tho generosity of Undo Sam's minions, bo it said, they always sharo their tobacco with their fellows. Whatovcr bo his virtues, Jack is fastidious about his tobacco, which is usually of good quality. Ho smokes tho aamo kind that ho chows, biting1 into it for a chow, and ohipping it off with his knifo when preparing for a smoke. Ho uses a olay pipo, that soon becomes short stemmed and as black as n hat. Tho Brooking time on ships ip the American Navy is a half hour when first called in tho morning, coffee being served at tho same time, an hour at breakfast, an hour at dinner, and during and alter supper until nine o'clock. At best a sailor's life is full of con trast, and nowhero moro so than on board a man-of-war. At ouu moment you will sea him on deck with his companions, telling storios, singing and dauciug to his heart's delight, the jollicst man in all the vrorldj and again you will see him tugging at tho ropes, with the Boa breaking over him, deprived of rei-t and food for watches together. Now you will bu him sit ting at mess or asleep in his hammock, tho very embodiment ot composure and comfort; and then with blacken o i hands and faco standing by tho guns, with tho smell of powder about him. Jackey, though not a dream, is a stubborn reality, and after all, in times of dangor, is pretty'apt to provo himself a hero, every inch of him. Ho has his failings, sometimes lamentable ones, but ho stands tho tests to which ho is subject. And to his credit lot it be said, that tho eflioienoy of our Navy does not nlono abido in the ofiicors, competent though they be, but as well in the men who set the sails, fire the engines and man tho guns of our ships of war. SAi.isnuny. Keduotion of Farm Value- Tho triennial assessment recontly taken in Chester county, shows a de crease of nearly 1,000,000 in tho val ue of real obtato during tho last threo years. Why aro tlio larm latins ot rcnnsvi vania, and especially those near Phila delphia, with tho advantages of city markets, steadily and rapidly deprecia ting iu valuet There is no depro.'sion in business; no revulsion in monetary affairs such as reduces all values, and there has been a fair demand for farm products, with rapidly increasing markets in our growing oity. Why, then, aro tarraeis realizing loss from their lands from year to year and the value of their property stead ily diminishing'? Is it not because the farmers are taxed for everything and practically protected in nothing! The.-e are not fi'yo hundred sheep growers in Pennsylvania who would not individually make moro iu the re duced costs of tho woolens thoy con- sumo that tiiHV would lose by free wool, while tho millions of people in tho State pay a dozen millions of need less tax on their wo .lens, which arc among tho commonest necessaries of life. Farmers can't oombine and hold their own against tho greod of trusts in other iudustriea. Thoy havo the Grange, that tempera their wrongs in a feeble way, but tho rule is that con oeiitrated "and monopoly-protected wealth reaps by millions, and tho farmer pays and grows poorer every year. Tho manufacturing oantres under stood tho tariff and tax issues in tho latu campaign, and gave increased voles agamd the oppression of indus try, but tho tanners rallied as novcr boforo to bind the thongs upon them selves and offer eervitndo to thoso who impoverish them. It will not always be so, and it is quite probable that ono of tho earliest of our political revolutions will come from the now universally oppressed farmers in their resolute oltort to ooiu iiumd justice for themselves. Dimin ished values and profits from year to year whilo taxes and monopoly wealth increase aro argrpnents which must speedily conviuco tho most obdurate Give tho farmers a littlo timo and they will take care of thcmselyes.

The first step In tho offort to provide for tho conservation of tlio forests on the national domain should bo tho with drawol from salo of all forcBtlands be longing to tho nation. It will not bo necessary to prcservo' and maintain all tbeso forests permanently, but the ex tent of forest-territory which will bo required by a practical plan of foret presorvatlon and management for our Western mountain regions cannot bo nt onco precisely determined. A thorough examination of these regions, and of tho agricultural country depend ing upon them for its water supply,will bo necessary, in order to show what forests must bo retained, and what tracts of timber oan be put upon the market without injury to the importaut interests involved. Until such an ox-, animation has been made, nono of tho forest-lands now belonging to tho United States should bo sold. Tho second stop should bo to commit to tho United States army tlio care and guardianship of the forests belonging to tho nation. There in timo of peace no other work of national defense or protection so important as this which tho army can perform, and it is plain that under existing conditions tho for ests on tho national domain will not be indeed cannot bo adequately guarded and protected by any other means. Tho measures which have been tried, including those now in operation, havo proved almost entirely ineffective. Tho forests on the public lands are pillaged by settlers, and by tho ora ployees of railroad and mining com panies, without scruple of limit, Other instruments will have to bo employed if tho forests are to bo preserved. Their complete nnd final destruction, with that of the soil which sustains them, is, under tho present system, or want of system, only a question of timo and of very short timo. Tho officers of tho United States army aro educated by tho notion for its service, and thoy constitute a body of men unfqualled by any other in our conntiy in their equipment for guard ing and protecting tlio great forest regions belonging to the nation. Thoy possess every kind of fitness for this work in greater degree than any other clans of men, and if authorized by law to undortako tins service they would havo tho power and the means neces sary for its performance, whilo every body else is i-ievitably powerless and incapable. As thero is likely to bo very littlo work tor tlio army herealter in tho caro of tho Indians, it will bo available for this servico of guarding the national forests. Tho work can bo done well by tho army, and it will cost nothing, or very little, while any other plan would necessarily be both ineffec tive and costly. Tuts guardianship and defense of tho nation's forests by the army of the nation flhould bo con tinued and maintained until a sufficient number of adequately trained and equipped foresters has been provided by the national government lor the administration of a completo aud permanont system and policy for tho management ot the toresls on the pub lic domain. This brings us to consider tho third step. 1 his should bo tho appointment, by tho President, of a Commission to mako a thorough examination of tho lordsts belonging to tlio nation, and ot their relation to tho agricultural inter ests of tho regions through which the strems flow which havo their sources in tbeso forests, and to report, with tho facts observed, a comprehensive plan for tho preservation aud management of the publio forests, including a sys tem for tho training, by tho govern ment, of a sufficient number of forest ers for tho national forest tervico. The commission should determine what portions of the existing forests on the puolic domain should be per manently preserved, and in what man ner tho remainder should bo disposed of. Tho national forests can be so managed that they will be perpetually rtproduceJ, and will yield forever an abundant supply of timber for tho in habitants of tho adjacent country, and a revenue which will moro than sustain the cost of tho forpst service. A Na tional School of Forestry should bo established at a suitable place in ono of the general mountain forests on tho public lands, and its equipments should bo as thorough and adequate for its purpose as is that of tho National .unitary vcauemy nt west, joint. f!l!i A 1 ITF...

XX11I ICO 7 OOI.UMUIA DKMOOKAT, VOL til. t-0 45 Notes. A bill was rooently introduced into tho Now York Legislature tho purpose of which is to prohibit any judgment upon a plea of guilty in caso of murder; that is to say, its effect will b" to re quiro that a person accused of mitrdor, who admits his guilt, shall bo put upon trial for tho enmo and tried iu the same manner as though he pleaded not guilty. Tho exact longtisgo of tho proposed enactment is as follows: "No convictions shall bo had upon a plea of guilty on cither of tho follow, ing cascei "Where the crime charged is punish able by death; or "Whore tho orlmo charged is or may bo punishable by imprisonment in a State prison for the term of life." Inasmuch as tho highest degrees of burglary and forgery fall within the terms of tho bill, says tho New York "Sun," it will bo incompetent for Court to accept n plea of guilty from tho most criminal kind of a forger. Tho scnBo or reason of such an act docs not appear. Col. John S. Mosby, tho famous Confederate guerilla leader, later than that a diplomat in China and now a oitizen of California, is a relative of General Harrison's, as so many hun dred other native Virginians are. His grandmother was a cousin of President William Henry Harrison, and ho has kept up the family acquaintance. Col. Mosby while in China overpaid tho government about Si G,000 on somo Consular transaction?. Ho afterwards got a suit for that amount allowed by tho Court of Claims, and the item is to go into the appropriation bills beforo Congress this session. Tho pcoplo m n Western town aro complaining because a local undertaker displays his coffins on the sidewalk nut side his office, with prices attached, just like tho furniture dealers. It is probablo that President Cleve land has never crossed the threshold of moro than two Washington homes out side tho Cabinet circle. In other words ho has not seen the intorior of ten residences in Washington. Ho has never seen Congress at work, and I am assured that in four years he has not onco entered a department minding. Tho Treasury, State, Navy, War, and Attorney General's Departments aro all within a stotio's throw of tho White House, but Mr. Cleveland never opened their doors. Mr. Cleveland never walked upon Pennsylvania avenue as Grant was in tho habit of doing, and surely ho never took a drink across a Washington bar as Buchanan did moro than once.
