Much has been written both in Ger many and in America of the forest and its influence on climate, and consequently <>n agriculture, on tho water courses and - on health. Instances whore tho growth or destruction of forests have hod a marked influence on the river systems, through tho rain-fall, ran be recorded by tho storo, not only in Kuropo but in the United States. Tho diminution of the water volume of tho Ohio river is at this moment altractingscrioua attention. In the first quarter of tho century it was navigable tho whole year for tho largest vessels, but is now available bat for six months in the year, and growing - beau tifully lees.” Tho sumo thing is said of tho Hudson, ns I find in nu American ar ticle handed u.o tho other day in the congress. " It is notorious )hat," says my authority. “ even with our vast nor thern forest remaining intact, tho water supply of the Hudson grows less with erory year, and its navigation morn and more difficult. Hut. for the largo annual outlays for tho improvement of its chan nels and tho construction of artificial remedies, tho tipper portion of tho river, between Now Baltimore and Troy, would long einoo have been practically cloeod to commerce.” These nro not isolated cases with us, and I trust Professor Marsh will include in tho now edition of his Man and Nature a work largely quoted by German writers on the influence of the forest—all tho casos of diminishing riv ers that have boen noted in the various Slates. When tho results of deforesta tion aro soon and appreciated os aliow themselves nl home, then wo shall l.e ready to learn from the experiences of these older and still worse deforested countries of Kuropo. though, for the matter of that, Europeans point to Amer ica for evidences of deforestation in tho Now England States and olsowhcre, as a warning to their own countrymen. riioorEJur eivkiu. An Italian referred to tho United States in this relation yesterday. He gave no jurticulars, however, and J liave no works on American forests to uid me in adducing them hero. But then we have scoros of striking eases of the effects of deforestation on tho rivers of Europe, proving tho necessity of international treaties for protecting the sourocs of the great water arteries, ffs n.-od only refer to the lihino, the Elbe and tho Oder, all of which have a lower water-mark than formerly.

It is in such cases that the want of international trea ties ore seen. Prussia how elf and most of the Gorman States aro rational forest culturiftts, taking good caro to preserve and cultivate their forests,andhnvs pood cause to prot-ent against the forest enmos committed by their neighbors. NiN CAN’ PESTROT BSTKRSj 8> CAN CREATE THEM. Many riven have totally disappeared or have been reduced to*mere streams by an irrational and heinous felling of the forests. In the northeast of Germany the JTarp and Gold rivers exi.-t only in name. Tho #la*sio buiibi of antiquity are rieh in sad lasso ns pf daforostatioo. *The springs and brooks of Pslostliio are dry, and the fruitfulness of tho la nil had disappeared. Tho Jordan is four feet lower tlian it was in U* Hoar TmIwM day*. Greece and Spain suffer to this day severely iromtho effect* of destroying their forests. Many parts of the Kingdom of Wurteiuberg nave been rendered almost barren by the felling of the trees. In Hungary the pe riodically returning drought is universal ly attributed to tlio extermination of the forest. Wo attribute the present uiifruit- fulnass of Asia Minor and Greece to the destruction of tlio woods; steppes, mins and tombs have taken tho pku o of wiiat vai the highest culture. Sardinia and Sicily were once the granaries of Italy, but have long since lost tha thlitfulflow sung of by tho ancient j>octa. On the other hand man can improve tho condi tion of the land in which ho lives, more slowly indeed, but equally as certainly, j by cultivating and prosexving the forests. In earlier years reliable authorities have told us that in the Delta of Upper Egypt there ware only fire or siz days of nun m ! the vear, bnt that since the time when j Meheuiet Ali caused some 30,000,000 of I trees to bo planted tho number of days of rain in the year has increased to forty- ; ti*.v i r forty-six.

(Facts recorded iu the Vienna \ Xeuo Freie Press**. May 10, 1SOO, and in I tho Kngluli journals.) Austria herself has a very >triki: Ktaace *»f a change of climate being pr« duced by deforestation sad replanting. We refer to that stretch of miles of coun try over which tiie nilroad passes, near Trieste, a* you go from Austria to Italy, bleak, barren, stony, with hardly earth vniScicnt for a weed to take root in, a stretch of uarrennes^ on which some dread anathema seems to rest. It is a curse that rests on it called down from Haven by man. Five hundred years ago and an immense forest stood on the ground where now is nothing but a sea of stone. Venetians came and they hewed down the forest in order to procuor It, was a difficult undertaking, tho very roB for planting the young trees ha/1 be transported by the basketful, but result was equal to the expectations. After a careful culture of some year trees thrived, the rains were induced fall regularly and beneficially, and course «/f time it i probable that the im mens* rintrict will again given up t/ culture an#l prosperity- And if we MM a still more striking instance of man pover to alter the climate, w«* but refer to •ALT LAKE AHDTHK VTAU TMilWXT, where a desert has boen conrerted into Uoomirur counti7, where n.crs am fillcl with .at. - that t.. ntT vear* aco wore ucrrlr flrr. and th*' Suit Lake itself lioa ineraued *o«n feet al«oxo its original lereL Brigham Young has taught these rrrr important facts. - In this bas "rendered the State some semoc,' that is, if the Shite is able to appreciate Tho "guardian forests,” to which th I r- ol.It ."I. til. li.U ru.itional Congren refers are apparently indispen- sable in the houaeliold of nature to pro tect eea m, t . . .j -1 ] and tec iDoimtain valleys. The MXi-ts of the prexlnce of Prussia, with tho exception of fruitful, omberrich danfland, are almost uninterrupted broad strip of sand- dune (down) 200 miles long and perhaps a mile broail, with sand hills reaching to a height of 170 feet. Originally these ■and mounds, which were apparently a work of nature to protect the land again.it the encroachments of the sea. were cov ered with pino growths. In the past centuries trees wero felled. Soon the sparse vegetation died off and the sand drifted away, and on careful examination proved that these very sand hills, «hich under their forest rover stood firm as sen tlni'ls, receded at the rate of from fifty a hundred feet per year. In tho course of the past century and the first decades of the present whole villages and tbous- aands of acres of fruitful land were thus buried by tho drift sand. At the com' men' ment of this century the work ol reforesting commenced, and at present there are but few sandy points on the coast which are not mado firm, excepting those belonging to communities and pri vate persons, and not the Etatc. Wher ever on sandy coasts the forests are de stroyed tux ska rncaoAciixs with slow but torriMo certainty. Where tho rocky coasts are deforested bleak, rocky ljorrennesa is left, and tho desort district encroachea inland with every year. Deforest the mountains and the valley it shelters suffers in tho loss fruitfulness and from the inundations which a well wooded mountain would prevent, by chocking the sudden rain downfall. Switzerland has suffered se verely from the effects of deforesting the mountains. Professor Ksndolt, whospoko to tho International Congress, attributes tho devastations caused in tho Alps by avalanches and land slides to the destruc tion of tho forests. Tho poet Schiller attributes to the forest tho post of guar dian when in his “William Tell,” little Walter says: Father, ift't true, llist «t the mount*in there Thr tree* do blent whmeVrthewoodman itrikes. With crud blow, hi* sic into their root* * The mailer herdsman told me that the tree* Are Imand. and it wo injure them the hand la caned until we reach the slave. Trix—The tree* are ancml lo us; that la true And but fur them tho avalanche had Ions. Jams ainre the rfllaeo Alldorf buried noath Thrir toad, if they had not. like lsndwchr, stood Above to guard it. Of all central European countries Switzerland occupies the most important position as regards tho preservation of the forests, considering that in her moun tains are the sources of two of tho great est rivers of this continent. Bat nowhere, perhaps, hits tho devastation of tho for ests been carried on so recklessly, and ocntnrioa of careful cultivation will not make good what thu post few generations have sinned. Professor Landolt attributes iUe feariui inundations which took place in Switzer land in September and October, lSf.N, to the destruction of the forests on the inonntains. Sanmire. in his "Voyages dans les Alps” says that from 1779 to 1796 Lakes Ncutchutcl, Biel nnd Murtcu constituted a singlo sheet of water, but •ince tbo destru-tion of tho surrounding forests have so far sunk ns to form three •listinct lakes. The herds aro the great- ••st foes on the mountains to tlio new growths of wood; lint tho truth is that the people themselves are intensely ig- norart of tho value of trees to them and their well-being. Tho people, especially the herdsmen, look upon trees a- common property. Of late years there has been considerable agitation in favor of preserv ation and culture of the forest. The same limy bo said of Italy, where, some years ago. the academies of Florence. Milan, Modena, Palermo and Pisano offered pre miums for tho boat methods of reforest ing mountain surfaces. It was easy, unfortunately, to fill col umn after column with such cases of I'XVO ax STATION AND ITS DANEI'l'L El'rXCT. More difficult by far it is to adduce cases where tho forest lias proved of dt root striking benefit, os it is not long since jmople began to think tho forests were of no use at all. The cases of Egypt nnd Trieste, and of Salt Lake, are valuable to ns. We have not touched upon the important influences which tho forests are admitted to have, or the gen eral sanitary condition of the country. We know that tho health of Homo suffers under the haneful miasmas arising from t’io Gampagna, which was formerly cov ered with forests, and it has been pro posed to bring it to its original condition. Tho question of forest culture as it must present itself to us sooner or later, is nn all-important one. And wo liave every thing to learn before making the at tempt ; for. as a member of the Vienna Congress remarked. Europe cannot offer any data, since she is herself a scholar. But we know that a climate becomes milder and warmer and more fit for Imb ibition by thinning the forests by tho progress of agriculture; bnt beyond a certain limit we cannot go. AVe have yet to find out this just mean. One fact wo can accept from the hands of this and former congresses, that it is nbsolutclv necessary, to preserve tho forests at the sources of our streams, on which so much of our agricultu ral and commercial prosperity de pends; that wo should preserve the for ests in all the mountain sides, so that the vulture of the valleys be tempered and preserved. Ono speaker of tho Vienna Congress urged that the State should in nil oases bo the possessor or have control of forests which are acknowledged to be "guardian forests,” on the sea shore, on the mountains or at the source of rivers. It is indeed hardly probable tlmt private parties can be got to preserve tracts of rarest "forth©public good." The landed proprietor demands interest for his capi tal invested, and forests p.iv but small returns. The good produce.! is for the community of tho Stare, or for tho entire land, and it seems only just that the State should take upon i'tsclf the <luty of preserving and culturing those forests which are rendered necessary to the State's welfare. The subject of forests is one of great importance to us. AVe re gret that our authorities r.t Washington did not *00 fit to have us fitly represented hunt at the Congress. Ernst Han't* Arndt, the Germnn poet and patriot, uttered » great truth when he * ;:d that the axe applied to the root of a tree-was, in too many eases, an axe laid to the well-being of the people.
