William E. Chandler cays: "The
South will split up and in four years'
time three or four of the electoral votes
of the South will be cast for the next
Republican candidate for the Presi
dency, whom he thinks too, will be
nominated without a, struggle-that is a
fight between any of the fact ions of the
party. The issue of free trade will be
forced, too, upon the Democracy.
The Republican party will favor a
protective tariff. In the Eastern States
euch an isue will give strength to
the Republicans, and while in some
of the Western States the Republi
cans vote on a high tariff issue might
full off, itwill not amount to 3 per
cent."
John Miles is a happy Mormon.
The Supreme Court Monday reversed
the court of the Utah courts, which
had found him guilty of bigamy.
The decision of the U. S. Court is
based upon the fact that ho was con
victed on the testimony of his second
wife, and the laws of Utah do not per
mit a wife to give evidence against her
husband. A new trial is ordered, but
John is happy notwithstanding, as
there is little or no chance of proving
his bigamous practice so long as his
victim or victims are debarred from
the witness stand. Evidently we need
tome more law before Mormon ism can
be repressed, but if tins decison given
our Congressmen the proper cue John
may yet hav the laugh turned against
him. Bradford Star.
A horrible practice is reported as
prevailing in West Virginia, where
paupers are disposed of by auction to
the lowest bidders. The man who
agrees to keep the pauper at the low
est amount for a year becomes the pur
chaser. It is reported that the unfor
tunate victims of this barbarous plan
are subjected to all sorts of hardships,
the purchasers in many cases being
characterless parties who starve the
paupers in order to make a profit, and
force them to do labor for which they
are physically incapacitated. One case
Is announced where an old lady was
bid in by a shark, and upon hearing
who had purchased her she moaned
piteous! v and soon afterwards died
of a broken heart. There is a slight
disposition shown by the better class
of citizens to have this evil corrected.
It hardly seems credible that a civil
ized community would allow such
reproach upon their common humau-
ty to be continued much longer.
The current number of Iirad-
$trect's gives the total number of mer
cantile failures in the United States
for the first quarter of 18SI as 1,080 as
gainst 1,590 for the corresponding
period of 18S0 and 2,-'J50 for 1879. The
Increase over last year it attributes
partly to the long-continued severity
of the winter in the Western and
Northwestern Mutes and to the over
advances made in the South by the
country merchants on the cotton -crop
based on the previous year's prices and
quality. This year's cotton crop in
cluded a largo proportion of inferior
quality and averaged a lower price.
Further than this.tho first quarter was
the beginning of a revival in business
following a long depression, and trade
embarrassments were naturally just
then very few. The failures of the
present year, so far as they are not
brought ubout by the peculiar con
ditions spoken of in the West and
South, may be considered as character
istic of the normal condition of active
business when a tertalu proportion of
the total ventures must inevitably fail

The Postmaster General has put
himself on record as an advocate of
postal savings banks, and will propose
bill, for presentation to Congress next
December, advocating a plan, which
will be a modification of the successful
awstem now in operation in England.
While the subject is not a new one, it
has heretofore received little encour-
turemeut from post office authorities,
nd being atrenously fought by Savings
Banks and other interested parties
has never received from Congress the
attention which the importance of the
subiect demanded. In some Instances
it probably would injure the business
of certain bauks, but on me pasis
legislation which will be of beuefit
and a convlence to the greater numoer
this or some similar system will cer
tainly be adopted before many years

SOME STARTLING FACTS AND FIOtTRES
CONCERNING TH El R-DESTRUCTION

Mr. William Little, of New York,
recently furnished the Time, of that
city, with the following interesting
letter:

Then followed an awful silence of

From the above it will be seen that
even now, wiicn only tnree years oi
the six or seven mentioned by Mr.
Little have gone, these states have
reached a condition when common
prudence would say they had not an
other foot to spare. They are rapidly
growing in wealth and population.and
in all probability will Have u.uuw.ouu
inhabitants to supply within her own
boundaries in the uext ten years, so
that the amount now remaining
would barely supply their own wants
for twenty years irom to-ciay; nut
what will be their condition in four
years from this time if the continued
slaughter of the pine is kept up!
In round numbers, Michigan is
parting with her forests at the rate of
&.uo .iwu.uuu teet a year: consequently
at the end of lour years will only nave

more than '1 .000.000 neon e. eon

in the whole northwest, (an amount
little more than two years' consump
tion of the whole country,) as the
reserve supply, not only for themselves
hut tor the entire country, it is out in
fling with the subject to speak of the
tew patches nereanu mere in our own
state, ami in renusvivauia, Virginia
or elsewhere.
Formerly, when the New England
states parted with their pine, there re
mained the forests ot jsew l orn,
Pennsvlvaniu and Canada to fall back
on, and these in their turn fell back
on Michigan; but now the reserves
themselves are about gone, and even
Canada is forced to compete for sup
plies in the forests of Michigan and
Wisconsin for the English market,
and unless something is at once done
to stop the destruction of this indis
pensable timber, it will be a
none, and we will have only the
tumps rcmaiuing to remind us of our
tolly.
It is to be hoped, now that the gov
ernment has come into possession or
the facts, it will take means to enlighten
ten the public on this most important
subject. An enlightened public opin
ion can do much to aid in stemming
the tide of destruction which is now

which is now uolng on by the use of
circular saws, that turns one-quarter
of the tree into iawdustj by allowing
the voumr trees to grow: by the gov
ernment withholding its timber lands
from sale: bv preventing, if possible,
the making of square timber in the
woods, by which one-third of the tree
is cut into score diocks ana shavings

learned to recoirnize the difference
between a pine tree and a gooseberry
bush, so as to itive their patrons cor-
reet information, some little may yet
be done to prolong the supply of this
indispensable timoer.
Fees of Doctors.
The fee of doctors is an item that
very many persons are Interested in
Just at present. We believe the sched
ule for visits Is $3,00 which would tax
a man con Rued to his bed for a year

OUARDINO AGAINST AN EPIDEMIC.
London. April 9. A despatcli from
Chio to the Times says: "A medical
commission is sitting to consider the
expediency of covering the rubbish in
the lortress with ear n, as mere is no
hope of saving any lives, and the dis
interment of the dead might producean
epidemic. It is now nciieveu mat
throughout the whoie island, wnicn
contains 70.000 inhabitants, six or
sffven thousand were killed and 2"i per
cent, of the survivors were wounded.

bor are doing ult in their power to as
sist the authorities in the work ot re

itants of Chesme were killed, but

people are without shelter.

John Hubert, locksmith, living at No.

morning from strangulation. At noon
on Friday the mother fed It mashed
potatoes with meat gravy, aud the
gravy containing a small bone, unob
served by the mother, the bone lodged
in the windpipe. The distress of the
child did not become apparent until
toward evening, when medical aid
was summoned, but all the ordinary
remedies failed and the child died as
