MEAN PEOPLE.

aof My ancient comrade, " Doesticks," !"
in letter from New York quotes a
printed paragraph concerning the sto-
ry used to tell to lecture audiences
about wonderfully mean man whom
throws himself into passion and re-
5lates the following circumstances
(writing on both sides of his paper,
which is at least singular in a journal

Asa T. Mann of this town. You see
old Mann used to own and command
a piekaninny,T buH-headed, mud-tur-
tle-sfaped craft of a schooner that
hailed from Perth Amboy. Old Mann
used to pfance out of his little cove
where he kept his three-cent. craft,
and steal along the coast of the dan
gerous Kill Won Kull, on the larboard
side of Staten Island to smouch oys-
ters from ungarded beds, or pick CLAIMS
off slOops where the watch had gone
TO bed drunk. Well, once old Mann
went on long yoyage-for him. He
q went down to Virginia, taking his
wife and little boy with him. The
old rapscallion put on all sorts of airs,
and pretended to keep up as strict
discipline as if his craft was man-of-
war. .s7a5.-esssf
'One day his darling baby tumbled
overheard. A sailor named Jones
jumped over after him, and after ca
vorting around for about an hour or
SO. succeeded in getting the miserable
little scion of worthless sire ON board
again. The old Mann got straight up
on his dignity-he put on all the dig,
he, had handy-and in two mintites he
. had Jones into double irons, and there
kept him three weeks, in the forehold
for leacing the ship Vithout orders"

THE RUINED FORESTS. The milwaukee
Sentinel Of October 2lst, says: Inc one irIep'
arab)e loss from the late horrible tires, Is after
all. neither the destruction OF village nor OF
c;tv Human lite is of course the one loss that
claims precedence of all others; but laying that
ont Of the question, the loss We shall feel most
certainly and most deeply is the destruction OF
snch an enormous tract Of forest through this
whole Northwest Chicago will be rebuilt long
before that destruction can be made good.
Ten years will make over again that great cen
ire of trade and Industry. Its streets Will be
AS bustiug, aud its business men as driving as
before the disaster, but the silent process OF
nature cauuot be hurled; and this generation:
at least vii! pass away before the wood, can re
cover themselves.
1T is by no means as so much lumber that
the trees are most valuable to us. Their value
as lumber is, OF course, enormous to us but
the living trees are ultimately Of more conse-
ouence to US than the felled ones. great
tract of forest like that destroyed during the
past summer is one OF the most important
agents in determining our climate, and cannot
be meddled with to such an enormous extent
without inducing serious climatic changes
The forest in a country like this Northwest,
without great hill ranges, either to accumulate
the springs and set them flowing down the val
leys, or to arrest and discharge the clouds. de
ponds for the certainty Of its water suppl Y al
most entirely upon its forest tracts to perform
these services. Cut down or burn these to any
great extent and desscation Of the soil lmme-
liately begins. Qroughts have been growing
leartully common with us OF late years, OWING
to the gradual destruction of these primeyal
sathercrs of moisture. We do not like to pre-
diet evil but certainly the wasting Of such i'm
mense tracts eff Woodland is not going to help
matters 1t is in this view that the lire in the
wilderness may ultimately provea more lasting
calamity to us than fire in the city, and pro
duce results less easy to avert or control
