Hie 1 Henry A. Parsons, Jr., Editor THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 1879. Specie payments hnve been re umed,and now gold, silver and green backs ar as good as they can be. After resumption, what ? We shall see. Governor Hoyt will be inaugurated on the 21st of Jannary, with Imposing ceremonies. The military of the State will be largely represented. The Leg islature will elect a U. S. Senator on the same day. Robbers attacked the train for Vera Cruz from the City of Mexico, near Puebla, on the 14;h. They killed the baggage master, wounded the conductor, and escaped with $27, 000 in silver. Five thousand families in St. Louis are depending solelv upon charity, and yet a more lavish ex pen dlture of money for Christmas pres ents has not bscn known in that cit for years. Ou the one hand an abund ance, on the other destitution border log on dispair. Owing to the enormous surplus of silver com lying idle In the National ana j? irst National batiks of Port Jer vis. the officers of these institutions have given notice that until further notice no trade dollars or subsidiary coins will be received by them except at a discount of twenty per cent. William J. Wilson, the negro who founded the Freedman's Savings Bank, has just died in Washington. After the failure of the bank his daughter, who had led colored fashion able society in Washington, got a sit uation as a teacher, and Wilson ob tained a clerkship in the post office there. Some good at last seems to have come out of Dennis Kearney. He has been giving the workinginen of Shu Francisco lectures on temperance, and told them a lew days ago that the Chinese only came over to take the place of the men and women who kil;ed themselves with drink. It is said that Kearney himself is a strict teetotaler. Representative Abram S. Hewitt is reported assaying that his commit tee, which has been investigating the industrial distress, will not be able to make a conclusive rejmrt at the present session of Congress, but that it will simply reiiort progress, and that the members of it who have been re elected to the next Congress will take up the investigation and carry it forward. A match game of billiards with one thousand points up was played a few days ago in Paris between the fa mous Kn nch players Maurice Vignaux and M. Mangin. The latter was de feated by only 21 points after making runs ol 4'J2 points, S20 points and 100 pdnts. M. Vignaux made runs of 300 points, 210 points and 105 points. The French carom game was played, Vermont has a "rotten borough " system in legislative representation which rivals that of Connecticut. Each town sends a representativ to the lower house, 4'itlkout any reference to population. Somerset and Balti more, two towns containing eighty and eighty-three souls, sends two re resentatives, while Burlington, with more than fifteen thousand in habi tants, has no more. Commodore Parker has informed the cadets in the Naval Academy at AnnaiKilis, MJ., that lnreufter they will be allowed to smoke. He said that he had concluded, against the opinion of many persons for whom he eutertuined the highest respect, to grant the privilege, but that smoking was an expensive habit, and he urged those who did not use tobacco not to contract the habit. At Niagara Falls an English tour ist named Saml. Gould, was nearly killed while attempting to go behind the cataract. In picking his way along the rough and slippery path his head came in contact with a huge icicle, which became detached and felled him, inflicting a terrible gash In the back of his bead. He subsequent ly became a raving maniac. It is thought he will recover. The tramp law, enacted some time since in New Hampshire- is being vigorously enforced, with results most salutatory and satisfactory. As soon as a vagrant enters the "Granite State" be is forcibly invited to go to work or leave the commonwealth, and failing to do either forthwith, he is arrested and is severely punished. In the exe cution of the law there is really no hardship, yet it absolutely prevents persons front roaming around the country ou begging or thieving tours. It is said that between two hun dred and three hundred men and wo men of St. Louis drink dully from a half to a pint of blood piping hot from the veins of slaughtered cattle. More blood drinking by consumptives and aged persons is done in September and October than during the remainder of the year. The hlood of young steers the best, and should be caught us it comes from the auimal and drank while the foam is still on and the steam rising. Consumptives are advised, in addition to drinking the blood, to alt In a slaughter house for a coi pie of hours every day at killing time to in hale the "stean" of the runulug blood.. Destruction of Forests. From the Philadelphia Weekly Press. The destruction of our forests me naces the future fertility and produo tivenese of the country. Year by year, the forest area is diminished, and as a natural consequence springs dry up, the volume of witter in the rivers is lessened, the soil loses Its natural mois ture, radical changes take place In climate, the naked slopes of the moun tains precipitate desolating torrents on the valleys, and the winds, for want of a natural screen, burst over the land with hurricane violence, prostrating standing crops, making a clean breach through thickly-built towns, and caus ing a great destruction of both life and property. In France, along the banks ot tne Khone, ana other rivers in mountainous districts, since the disap pearance of the forests, and the sweep ing away of the loose soil, the rains pour down with unchecked violence, carrying everything before them, fill ing the rivers to overflowing, and giv ing rise to Inundations that annually Inflict serious losses on the people living near these streams. Such is the extent of this evil that the French government has lately been obliged to adopt measures for the replanting of flirpStH Oil til iniumtulns In fr.mr. parts of the country once celebrated tor tneir ieriinty, and the perennial rivers that furrowed their surface, are now barren wastes. The beds of the rivers remain, but they are destitute of water, excepting when during the vernal and autumnal rains they serve as courses for the mountain torrents. The climate is less salubrious than in antiquity, and the country has lost much of the beauty which the poets loved to sing of. The same results have followed from like causes in Tur key and other regions of the East With the extripation of the forests nature has again become savage, wild beasts have reappeared, and man has sought less inhospitable localities. There Is hardly a notable river in the East that has not dwindled to a shadow of Its ancient volume, while In many instances formerly deep streams are now dry channels. Persia is at this day one of the bleakest, most cheer less, and barren of countries, and yet It was once famous for Its rich values, its ahundant and varied production, and its genial climate. Nothing can be drearier than the mountains of Spain, with hardly a thin growth of bushes and scrub wood to cover their nakedness. In the long summer months the plains at their feet lie baking under a tropical heat, and the atmosphere is dry and oppressive, and potable and irrigating water can only be had with great difficulty and by costly artificial appliances. More en lightened than their Christian succes sors, the Moors, in their time, took special care of the forests. The Arabs were always remarkable for the wise precautions they took for the preser vation of water sources and the distri bution of this element of life and fer tility. The island of Sicily to this da is covered with aqueducts, subterra nean and superterranean, which they built to convey the outflowing of the mountain springs to the adjacent dis tricts. If Palermo now has an abun dant supply of water, it is owing to the Arab C'aliphs.and not to the Chris tian dynasties that at various times ruled the fortunes of this insular para disc. During the Arab domination in Spain, the mountain forests were pro tected by the most stringent legislation, and care was taken to preserve a proper proportion between woodland and till able soil. All these wholesome regula tions were annulled when the Moors were expelled from Spain. The dry countries of the East, where prolific plains have been converted into des erts, and vast tracts, once dtitted over with populous cities, have now no other tenants than a few tribes of nomadic Arabs, were originally thickly wooded. Progressively with the dis appearance of the woods, the natural resources declined. Whenever, ac cording to a well informed writer, statistical records have been preserved, it is proved, beyond the possibility of a doubt, that the misfortunes of the desolate regions of the East commenced with the disappearance of their arbo real vegetation. It is well for us to take account ot these facts, and to inquire if we are not tending to thesamestate of things. It Is ascertained bvstatistieal data that since the year 1835 the forest area of the w estern hemisphere has dcreased at the average yearly rate of 7,600,000 acres, ami that in the United States alone this rate has advanced from 1,000 square miles in W5. to 8,400 in 1876. Between i50nd 1H35 the total airure gate of forests felled in South and Cen tral Amer.ca, and in the Eastern, Southeastern, and Southwestern States of our republic niav be estimated at from 45,000,000 to 50000,000 acres. In other words we have been wasting the moisture supply of the American soil at the average ratio of 7 per cent, for each quarter of a century during the last 125 years, and are now fast ap proaching the limit beyond which any further decrease will affect the climatic phenomena of the entire continent. On the Western praries it has been found necessary to plant groves of trees on their wide surfaces to break the force of the winds, to restore mois ture to the soil, and to promote fertil izing rain-falls. In the cities, where there is necessarily more or less of malarious exhalation of decaying mat ter, sewer gas and offal, trees have been found to he the most powerful absorbents of vitiated air, while they abundantly emit the most powerful of purifying agencies ozone. In town and country, systematic tree planting is required for both agricultural auu sanitary purposes. State and National legislation Is needea to prevent the wholesale dextruction of the forests that has been going on for so long a period of time, and which threaten, if not arrested, in no distant time to in flict upon us the same evils under which the people of the East are now suffering. A remarkable fulfillment of a presentment took place at Millvale borough a day or two since. The Johnstowu 2'ribune says: About half-past lOo'clock yesterday morning, Robert Boyle, one of the oldest resi dents of the second ward of Millville borough, entered Saegerson's saloon, a few hundred feet distant from his home, and walked in the direction of a bench on the other side of the room. Mrs. Saegerson was standing by the counter, and she says t .at just as he reached the bench lie suddenly sank down on his knee, and then fell for ward with his head resting on his hands, a corpse. He talked frequently during the last week ot his brothers, John und Allen Boyle who both died suddenly near Wilmore, this county, when they were about his age, and once or twice remarked that he t- would drop off In the same manner. An hour before his death he said to the domestic, who remarked his pale ness: 'I am sick, and believe I am going to die-' And when she replied that he surely didnt. mean it, he said. 'I will be dea within an hour.' His words were prophetic." Note papsr and envelope at this offloe, auu u low figure. The Pedestrians. CLOSE OP THE GREAT MATCH AT GIL MORE' B GARDEN O'LKARY THE WINNER. New York Dec. 29. At 8h. 60m. 65s. a. rn., Saturday, the Connecticut representative returned to the track, after bis rest, and at 6h. 13m. 81s. he had completed his 819th mile. On the 822d mile he again retired for 8h. 28m., and then made another effort. It was llli. 13m. 80s. a. m. when the 827th mile was marked opposite his name, and at 2h., 06m. p. in, the 831th mile was credited to htm. O'Leary had sent his figures up to 851 miles When he left the tiack on Friday evening. He did not return until 3h. 61)111. 15n. a. m. Saturday. Meanwhile he had his feet attended to and his chest and throat vigorously rubbed with hnlment, after which he fell into a deep slumber. Coming out he put his shoulder to the collar in fine form, and left the track for his morn ing meal shortly after 6 o'clock, having then added up 358 miles. The work for hours afterward was devoid of par ticular interest. Entering upon the 400th, almost everybody in the garden was either cheering ot clapping his hands. Lap after lap was done, O'Learv's pace get ting hotter and hotter When eight times around, and there was but an other circuit left to complete the dis tance, he broke into a brisk run. Hats went into the air, men stooo on bench es and chairs, and in their eagerness to see the champion flying over the sawdust path, fell over one another. The ladies got up In their seats and the men craned their necks to get bet ter views. Mr. Al. Smith stood in front of the scorer's stand to tell O'Leary "all right " upon the com pletion of the lap, and did so, but the determined man did not stop. Once more he bounded around the centre and the applause became still more voriferous. The 400th mile wr fin ished at lOh 43m. 05s.; and bt 10b. 44m. It's the champion jumped into his quarters. "Another walk over," he said, and five minutes later he was in a coach on his way to the Metropolitan Hotel. With him went two of his assistants, Harding and Slattery, who intended to go to bed as soon as possible. Incited by the applause which O'Leary was receiving, "Sport" en deavored to create a little enthusiasm on his own account and trotted a por tion of a lap ; but the effort was sickly and he soon abandoned it. He com pleted his 857th mile at 10b. 43m. 40s., and then going two laps more threw up his hands and cried, "I'm done." The crowd roared in response, and one or two Bridgeport acquaintances want ed to hug the old man. He entered his quarters at 10h. 40m. 45s., and the tramp ended. K Sensible Word from a Sensible Paper. The one-horse daily papers through out the country allude contemptuously to the announcements of many of the weekly papers that tin account of the holidays no paper will be issued from "this office next week." At the same time these same dailies fail to issue the day following every ho.iday. The Philadelphia Times, seeing the injus tice of these things, comes to the rescue of the country papers in these words: It is customary at this season of the year for some of the city papers to poke fun at those weekly papers that omit an issue during the holidays. They don't understand the work of the man who edits a local weekly paper, and who has abundant reason to be very thankful for the brief respite, not from labor probably, but from care and anxiety, during the week or' Christmas. Countrv journalism has wonderfully improved of late years. The average editor of a weekly paper is in much better eircu instances than was the case before the war; he lives more on his own resources and allows himself greater liberty In most respects; but, for all this, the life of the country edi tor is anything but a life of luxury. He does not have a staff of editors, with special qualities fitting into the various departments, studying the movements of men and the drift of events; he rarely has any ossistance, and, while lie doesn't get out a newspaper every day, he is liable to write as many col umns during the week as will be turned out by the average editor on the staff of a city paper daily. In ad dition to this the country edilor has got to go about himself over a consid erable local territory in search of facts; to look after the business of his office; to bother with all sorts of folks who rarely trouble the city editor, but who seem born to worry the country editor to within an inch or two of his grave; to help out with job work during the holiday rush ; to read his own proof; to keep his own books: to do a hun dred and one things which neverconie to bother the city editor, who fancies it's cunning to sa'v something sarcastic about suspending a weekly newspaper on account of Christmas The editor who thus suspends his paper does not always get his holiday, because he is almost invariubly driven to employ the time drumming up delinquent sub seribers and collecting bills. If people who subscribe for the local papers and read them with so much profit would pay for their entertainment more promptly there would be little trouble about printing the paper every week in the year, aud the editors would like to do it. Uranlne. This Is the most recently discovered, and perhaps the most remarkable of all coal tar or aniline group of coloring substances, now so extensively used for the adornment of the finest fabrics. Uranineis said, by chemists, to be the most highly fluorescent body known to science. Its coloring power is as tonishing; a single grain will Impart a marked color to nearly five hundred gallons ot water. A most interesting experiment, which anybody may try, consists in sprinkling a few atoms of Uranlne upon the surface of water in a glass tumbler. Each atom immediately sends down through the water what appears to be a bright green rootiet; and the tumbler soon looks as if it were crowded full of beautiful plants. The rootlets now begin to enlarge, spread and combine, until we have a mass of soft green-colored liquid. Viewed by transmitted light, the color changes to a bright golden or amber hue; while a combination of green and gold will be realized, according to the Hisition in which the glass is held. For day or evening experiment noth in can tie prettier than these trials of Uranine, which are especially enter taining for the young lolks. - We are indebted for examples of the color to the editors of the Scientific American, who are sendtag out specimens, free ol charge, to all their readers. The sub print ion lo the uaner is $3.20 for a year, or $1."0 half year; aud a better Investment for tne money couia naruiy be named. f All kinds of job work neatly exe cuted at this offloa.
