There is a hateful passcl of fools
who made diameter in the late war
and they’l vote for Felton. They
don’t like u good war record any bet
tor than lie does. One of ’em told
me the war was a great mistake, and
he didn’t blame Alek Stephens for
doin'the cause all the damage he
could; and when I told him we had
more provocation to fight than our
fore-fathers did in tho revolution, lie
said the revolution was a mistake,
and we would he better oil if we
were under the British government
now. Well, you can’t talk to a man
like that; you can’t do nothin but
wait for the fool killer tocomoalong

Save tlie Forests.
Tho world, or some intelligent, and
respectable portion of it, is at last
waking up to tho necessity of sparing
(lie forests. The destructive process
luw heretofore been at work far moro
rapidly than tho process of growth,
Destruction lias increased, as popula
tion and tho wan ts of man have nil-
vrtheod, and vast territories have been
denuded of their forest oovoring, and
diverted to other uses. Tho result
has been vory sorious.
If tlio forests of the world were
wholly exterminated to-day, vast, sec
tions of tho oarth’s surface would ho
umnlmbitnblo. Experience proves
that whoreevcv forests are destroyed,
there long mul severe drouths oeonr,
which dry up mul destroy all vogota*
tion. Accompanying thoso drouths
are tremendous winds, which fill the
air with dust and render it unfit to
breathe. Then follow diseases of
tho lungs and air passages, aud mor
tality is greatly increased. All these
results liavo followed tho destruction
of tho forests in Austria and Hunga
ry, whore vast tracts of country havo
bceu entirely denuded bv a species
of worm, whiou cuts off millions of
great treos with tho certainty and
celerity of an Qtitdomio. With the
shelter thus lost, with the air ren-
rendered arid and parched, tho inju
rious results which we havo described
are eortain to follow. Human life
is abbreviated. The soil loses its
germinating power, mul the land is
rendered practically uninhabitable,
except in the season of storms.
Tho change of season thus induced
is almost marvellous. Time was
when the climate of Pestli, Presbiug
and Vienna Was delightful for human
liftings tho whole year through. IV
day, lifo is fairly intolerable there
for fully nino months ont of the
twelve. At Rio do Janeiro, thunder
storms and grateful showers, former
ly of duily occurrence, are now rare;
and the cause is clearly attributable
to tlio destruction of tho forests
which surrounded the city. From
I bis cause the yellow fever has never
been fully exterminated since the
mountains were laid bare in 1852,
notwithstanding the hdvaiiee effected
modes of treatment,. Realizing
this, the authorities havo directed
that trees he thickly planted in every
street; mul this process is redeeming
the lanI.
In Sweden the timber resources
are immense; Lapland lias never been
surveyed, but it is reckoned, with
the northwestern provinces, to con
tain some 30,000,000 acres of forest.
Unfortunately, the unceasing and
enormous demands, especially for
charcoal, lioueo building and ltf&fer
matches, are telling rapidly on the
power of the forests; this fact is of
world-wide importance, for there is
hardly a maritime country, except
China and Japan, to which Swedish
wood in some form doen not find its
way. At last, in 1874, a law was
passed, forbidding the felling of any
trees loss than seven inches in diam
eter.
In Switzerland, there is how a Syl
van Socioty, and great efforts are
being made to induce people to re
plant cleared forest-laud, so as to
rcstorp the climate to a licalthfulncss
wnicn it has'pmiaily lost at numer
ous pppitu, as, well as tp prevent the
damage which land-slides, floods and
avalanches have of late years so fro
quontly inflicted. This destruction
of tho Swiss forests lias not been
wholly wanton, since tlio leading
industry of that country-^wood-carv-
ing—lias only boen fostered by the
uso of vast quantities of timber,
Cuba lias abundant forests, her in.
surrcctionary condition for many
years having.saved her wood from
the axe.
Some curious experiments have
boen made in Franco to test how far
the humidity of the atmosphere is
affected by forests. Two sets of
instruments for recording humidity
were providoil> ono in ti forest and
tlio other in the open air, a short
distance off, caoh set being placed
about fifty feet from tlio ground
Tlio records showed that during tli?
first six months of 1874 more rain
fell in tho forest during each month
than in the open field.
In no portion of tlio,world aro the
results of irrigation ns marked ns on
our Western Plains. To make the
land inhabitable, it is simply ncces
sary to inhabit it. By tliis wo mean
that vegetable life makes animal life
possible. Wherever the dust-heaps
of the desert are irrigated nuiV plant
ed, man can live upon them. The
very soil becomes changed. The
evidence multiplies on every band
that whenovor the planet which wo
inhabit becomes treeless, all animal
lifo will bo extinguished. The les
son taught by this fuct is that the
man win robs the world of a trete
lessons by just so much tlio capacity
of tlio world to support human lifo
and by so much abbreviates tlio lifo
supporting period of this planet
whilo lie who plants and protects
tree, adds no insignificant portion to
the well-being of humanity, and docs
something for tlio prolongation of
the existing raco of inm.~IIaU's
