And I’ve noticed everywhere in this region that all the old lino democrats Mo in line now*. ! Whon you bear of an old man being for Felton you may bo a whig.

I jist remarked to one of’em that “in unity there is strength” anil lie jined isshu right strait. J don’t know about that, ses be—my opinion is that it’s better to shoot with a scatterin gun, for you’ll kill niorc birds by it. 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 and it looks like if bo don’t come soon lie needent come at all, for the fools and the filistincs will take the eon n try. But thoro is a heap of leaven m the old laud yet, and many a wool bat, (I don’t ullood to the secretary,) and you’ll hoar from ’em in a fow Weeks, yeti see there are 1,200 young men ivho couldent vote two years ago, and over a thousand of 'om are for Luster. Young men maybe foolish and reckless about some female things, but thoy arc the pridO and hope of om* country. Thoy havo not scon trouble enough to make ’em sour, nor got mean cnougl to bo joalous, and they honor a hero wherever they soo him. I did sc* one at Silver Crook who was a nausy Felton, but ho took the bigoty gov ern 1 years ago and hasn’t got over it. It aint often a young man has it so bpd and so long.

If yOu waut to manage v ’em you must consult w ith ’em firat- •lyand make nut like they are doin’ of it all. You can toll 'em along that way right easy tomotimes, for as a gom ra! thing tliis class of ix*o- plo ain't afiUctcd with sense to 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 Journal of Health. _ After over twenty years experience in the I flatter myself that I know a little aliout it, and wish to inform the public that I am AT MY OLD STAND On the comer of the Court House Square, ready to serve all who want to purchase any thing in my line. 1 keep always on hand a full stock of ALL KINDS T.
