~ The MILITIA LAw.-This is one of the statutes
made " for terror, not for use.' Experience has
long since demonstrated the nefliciency of all laws
regarding military parades. The only object de
sired, that of military organization, can be much
better effected without parades, than with, if the
names of the citizens should be enrolled, and
formed into companies, regiments etc. In the event
II necessity for mastering troops, it could be
lone at once by notification through the press
At the breaking out of the Mexican war, there
was no organization in the City or State. Ye,
troops were mustered in the field with unprece.

But such is the character of our people. The
Americans are, from an early age, taught the use
of the gun. and the mastery of The horse. They
make the best light troops in the world We need
no drilling to make effective soldiers. But if it
We're necessary, these semi-annual parades would

THE QUARANTINE BELOW ST. LoUIs-The
St Louis lntelligencer of the 25th, reflects disa
greeable picture presented at the Quarantine
Ground, Bloody Island, below that city There
must be some mistake about the Irish Emigrani
Society, other benevolent associations here, hav-
ing sent these poor creatures in promiscuous heaps
up the river, in such state of restitution:
Qat0ranttne.-Yesterdaym morning the steamers
Uncle Sam and Iroquols landed at the quarantine
station, some six hundred Irish and German emf
grants. Those landed from the latter boat, OF
whom there were some four hundred were mostly
Irish, and we informed, the fthiest set of emf
grants landed from any boat this season. or perhaps
any other majority of them taken imme.
diately from the ell sely packed hold of an emi.
grant ship when reduced by privation and disease,
they had lain buried in filth during long passage
from the old country. Many of them were in a
state OF utter destiuton-lacked even the means of
procuring food, and were only enabled to leave
New Orleans through the aid of the Irish Emigra-
ton Society, which we are informed contributed
largely to the payment of their expenses to St.
Louis. 1t was with much difficulty that thew were
enabled to obtain passage at ALL having, on account
OF their filthy condition. been refused BY several St
Louis boats. When landed at the quarantine sta
ton, many OF them were suffering from sickness,
some under violent attacks of ship fever, and few
with disease closely resembling cholera-most
probably an advanced stage of diarrhea, of which
eight persons died on the passagefrom New Orleans
AT the q arantine station they are cleaned, fed
with whole ONE food, provided with medicines and
medical a, sce-two excellent physicians being
employed by the city, to be in constant attendance
on the Island in addition to which, while there
they have the benefit of free circulation of pure
air, which, in cases of this kind is great desder-
alum But 1t is unnecessary to say more in regard
to the necessity of quarantine regulations, last
years. experience having proven, beyond all cavil
their importance and utility.

1t seems scarcely possible for us of the present
generation to conceive of the period when this
country shall be stripped of its forests. But such
is the waste and imprudence of our people, that thu.
period is not remote when timber will become
scarce. As early as the administration of Wash.
ington, John Jay wrote to him: "There is some
reason to apprehend that masts and shin timber
will, as cultivation advances, become scarce. up.
less some measures be taken to prevent their waste
or provide for the preservation of sufficient fund
Vi oo'h' Some idea may he formed of the rapid
destruction of the white pine, by few facts. In
1913 There were at Bangor, a, one time, Ia 600 900
feet OF humber, worth 5000, 00o This city is the
largest lumber port in the world. Il ships off an
nna''y, Of The various kinds of lumber, the value
OF Sl,5OQ,OOO to 80 100000; and the rest of the
Siae, about as much more. There are 1900 saw.
mills in operation, which manufacture 800. 900, 900
feet of plank. boards and timber, without making
any estimate of shingles and aths. This is the
product of one State. New York and Western
Pennsylvania are also large manufacturers of lum.

Der trees annually destroyed in the process of
preparing land for cultivation. On the banks of
the Mississippi it is cut down for steamboat wood
and the ash and cypress of the swamps is Aoated
out for fuel and plantation use. On the coast. for
one hundred and fifty miles above New Orleans
the planters either purchase the trees in RATS, or
coal.
In the region of the yellow pine, extending
through North and South Carolina, Georgia, Flo
rida, and Alabama, the manufacture of turpentine
is rapidly increasing, and with it the conseouen,
destruction Of the forests. The 4" pine barrens so
graphically described by Bartram century ago, are
rapidly passing away. The Alamaha furnishe.
the spars for the French Navy. Many "Cracker"
has grown quite independent by selling the trees as
they stood, and which, far as it depended on his
agency, would have continued to stand through
eternity. At first, it was quite difficult to make
them understand that their trees had any value.
But now, in consequence of this demand for spars.
Tor logs, and for turpentine, the tracts accessible
by water, have appreciated almost beyond belief.
Lands worth twenty five cents an acre, now com.
mand from two to five dollars. All this bastens
the destruction of the forests. The evil will no,
be in our day, bnt it is to come And strange
as it may seem to US, the time is not distant when
America will be destitute of forests as the High.

New ENGLAND ART UNIoN.-Hon Edward
Everett President OF this institution, last week re-

h. Perkins, giving permission to the society to
make use of his magnificent painting of Saul and
the Witch of Endor, painted by Aston, and al
lowed by all to be one of the finest of that highly
talented artists historical productions. The story
is admirably told the Witch with her divining rod
has struck the magic circle, within which the ghost
OF Samuel appears; on the opposite side of the
picture stands the King paralyzed with fear, while
in the distance seen two soldiers fleeing with
horror from the scene The whole picture is man
aged with that cOnsunuate skill peculiar to our
world renowned Allston. For depth of color, fine
drawing, and grand conception, this picture will
rank with the finest productions of the world. The
great iberality of the distinguished gentleman who
has granted this favor to our New England Insti-
tutlon adds another to the long list of munfcent
acts already bestowed upon this community by him.
