and Iinir.il, in Cuba and Jloiiilurns.usk-

tion and coimumption of timber: inlur
nmtion desiretl more particularly by
uiu euiiiiuisHiuiiurB ui tno woouh ana

r iftocn nueBtioim weruaitked. These
related to the sorts of trocs iriown in
each country, tho uses niudu of each
kind, the ownership of ibrest lands, the
causes 01 increase or decreiuw in the
acrentre of forests, tho quantity of wood
cut annually, and the amounts exported
and columned at homo. Inquiries were
also made as to tho ascertained influ
ence of forests on local climato.rainfall,
floods, etc., and particularly in .Switzor
land, whether any stem have been
taken to replant the sides of tho moun
tains, so as to stay the action of the
ruin in denuding the soil.
Various reports on ail tho forvi'oimr
mini's nave now ooen received, lrom
which we may ltoro cull a few brief ox
tracts, comnieiidinrr tho work itself to
100 carciui porusul ol all wlio tako an

joct full of iinporlttiico, not only bo-
euuau uiiiuer is lntiispeiisaulo lonuman

lu xuiusiiiio, io npain, ana prooubly to
many regions in North Africa, to show
how the gradual destruction of forests
will cliniiL'O tbe character of ninntrv
and its inhabitants forever.
In Bohemia, during the past ten
years, a species of worm, which scorns
o eat ime an opidonuo, lias been caus-
n preat devastation in tho forests.
L'h. antiro Bide of a renM ol' hilts m.r
be seen somctiiiies luid hure of timber
by the inroads of this futul worm di
oasn.
Tho diminution of forests in narts of
Austria, anu more ospecially in llun
gory, has boen followed by baneful con.
sequences, such as long droughts and
tremendous winds, which till tho air
with unceasing clouds of dust and con
siderably increase pulmonary disease
in towns which have become totally
unsheltored. I'esth, Presburg and
Vienna are now perfectly intolerable
uunng tnreo parts or tho year from
tins causu.
At Jiio Janeiro, thunder storms, for-
morly of daily occurrence, aro now
raro ; and tho cause is supposed to be
mo acsiruction ol the lorents which
surrounded the town, as now roads
bavo beon made. Honee, in 1852, yel
low fovcr visited the place, and has
never leu it smco, though trees are be
ing busily planted in almost evory
nuct'L.
In llesso and iiaden trrcater nrn
donco has been displayed. Four-flllliB
of tho formor Duchy and one third of
tno lutlcr aro woodod, and tho law re
quires that every thirty years land
which has onco belonged to the culti
vation oftrees must return to its origi
nal employment.

immenso ; iaplnnd bos novor boon sur
veyed, but is reckoned, with the north
ern provinces, to contain some 30,0(10,
000 acres of forest, rnfortunalclv.
tho nnceasing and enormous demands
for wood, cspocially for charcoal, house
building, and luciler matches, is tolling
rapidly on tho productive power of tho
iorests ; tins met is ol world wide im
portance, lor there is hardly a mari
time country, oxcopt China and Janon.
to which Swodish wood in some forms
does not find its way. At last in 1S74,
a law was passed forbidding the folliiiu-
oi any irees H'ss man seven Inches in
diameter, at sixtoon feet from the
ground. This statute applies only to
tho Itothnian forests. If extended to
all Sweden, as it probably will bo, it
may greatly affect tho iiiinintr inter
ests of Ureal Britain, for it will cut off
tho supply ot small timber known as
pit props. '
In Switzerland there is now a sylvan
socioty, and great pains aro being taken
to induce people to replant cleared and
denuded mountain slopes, so as to pre
vent the damage which land slides,
floods and avalanches have of Into years
so frequently inflicted. Switzerland
also has an industry thut of wood
carving which sho had made pecu
liarly her own, ollhoiigh it was not in
troduced into the lierneso Oherland
before IHI5. This wood carving an
nually uses up an enormous nuunlitv
of wood of all sorts.
In Cuba, there are abundant forests
which must have increased sinco 1808,
when the Insurrection broke out. for
there has beon very little cutting of
lute years; nut, as we might expect,
where tho Spaniards aro concerned, no
more care is taken, no less recklessness
is shown by the farmers who cut wood
for I heir use in Cuba than In any other
timber clad part of the globe.
MORQAR'S FA TE.
T1IURL0W WEED'S DISCLOSURE.
THE FLA 0 UESTltlCKEX Hill P.
The New York Jlrrald, of llondity
and 1 ucsUav, publishes two romarkabl
letters from that rcnmrkablo man and
votoran journalist, Thurlow Wood, in
rofbrenco to tho inratcrtous disappear
ance of William Morgan nearly fifty
J rears ago. As these loltors are too
ong to re-produce, we herewith givo
an abstract ol thoir contents.
It will bo remembered, we may sav
by way of preface, tbat ono of the is
sues in tno state pontics ot Aow York
filly years aeo, was Masonry ys. Anti
Masonry, and it is safe to say that the
campaigns into wined that quostion
entorod worb conducted with a degree
of partisan bittornoss and personal
fierceness never before or sinco sur
passed.
in lti'iO, it became irenornllv known
tont wiinsm Mrrrpnui, ot Kocnostcr,
wno had loll tho Masons, was prepann,
a book whoso object was todim loso ai
tho Bocret proceedinirs of Musonry.
Finding no publisher in Rochester.
Morgan removed to llatuvia, N. Y., and
mado arrangements for the publication
ot lua book with ono Daniel C. .Miller.
Naturally onouirh. tho announcement
of such a work created much excite
ment, lint this oxcitomont bocumo in
tense when, ono night during the latter
part of September, before tho work was
hi wished, Morirun abruptly disaimcar-
eci, anu uas novor Doen soon nor heard
of sinco. J ho -M axons wore at onco ac
cused of putting him out of tho wnv.
nnd their constant reply was that thoy
had no "adoqunto cause" for the mur
der of Morgan, since all tho secrets ho
coma expose would do them no harm.
To add to the excitement produced
by Morgan's disHitppearanco, about one
year after that event, or in October,
1827, a body drifted ashore near a
smnll creek which emptied into Lake
Ontario. From the published report
of the Coroner's inquest, some intimate
friends of Morgan's concluded it was
his body. The investigating comniit
teo decided to hold an inquest, and
sixty or soventy people assembled to
witnoss tno proceedings. When tho
grave was opened, certuin marks wero
found upon tho body which niriood oro.
uiiwiy un murKS previously mentioned
by Mrs. Morgan. Tho jurors unani
mously declared that it was tho body
of William Morgan. It was. therefore.
given over to JUrs. Morgan, and buried
in Datavia.
Hut about ton days after, there enmo
it reM)ri uittt the body was that of
Timothy Monroo, of Canada, who had
beon swept over Niagara Falls in a
boat eleven duys beloro the body
wus washodashoro. A third inquest wus
hold, and it was discovered that Mrs.
Monroe had described with so much
minuteness the suit of clothes found
upon tho dead body, without havintr a
chunco to see thorn, that there was no
doubt in that respect But strange to
say, tho body found in tho clothes did
not correspond to the description of
nor iiiisouiiu at ail. There went nthair
sonous dilliculties, too, on both sides.
.in uiiinproDaoio mat Jlloriran s
uuujr nuuiu uuvu roiuuihou lu stiuu a
tolerable state of prcsci vution for a
year. It was equally improbable that
that Monroe's body would havo drifted
forty miles eastward in tho lnko, with
no current, and against a prevailing
wind from tho oast. Mr. Weed says,
although tho other members of the
committee firmly believed tho body to
be that of Morgan, his own previous
convictions wore strongly disturbed,
and after an interval ol nearly filly
years ho is unable to say whether the
body was or was not that of William
Morgan. And so tho disappearance of
Morgan has remained a profound
mystery until the publication of theso
two letters from Mr. Weed.
Now for the other facts, ns detailed
by him. After tho seizure of Moriran's
manuscripts, at llatavia, ho himself
was arrested on a pretended clmnro of
larceny and confined in tho juil at
Canandaigua. Then assurances wore
received from a Canadian that Captain
jj.uiiui,, mi inuiuii ciiiei, wouia provide
a homo for Morgan in a Wost fur
company. Accordingly, ho was Uikcn
from jail by night, and socretly con
veyed to Fort NiairarB, distance 120
miles, and confined in tho magazine of
tno ion. inon tnoso wlio brought
him tlioro crossud over tho rivor to
converse with tho Canadian lodge by
which it was expected that Morgan
would bo received. But, at last, this
lodgo positively refused to havo nnv
thing to do with tho mutter. Here
was an embarrassing stato of affairs.
But forthwith a largo numbor of

There are people who like monkeys.

some of tho species aro very gontlo, and
capablo of considerable affection, to

over, that about monkeys, in this coun

ono of them, tho seeds of a fatal con
sumption, their lives aro nearly always
to bo measured by a fow months, and
their antics, are nono tho fewer that
they aro racked every now and then
by a dry hectio cough. Their ill health
depresses them, but nothing can de
prive them of their lovo of mischief,
und this contrast of buffoonery and de
pression is one reason why a lame
monkoy makes one of tho most melan
choly of pets. They are ghastly hu
morists, they are droll in season and

to tno cinneso, who laugh to see tho

A monkoy's humor is of a kind that 1

on tho doing of mischiof. Let tho mun
