Great Earthquake i'm China.

Minister Low furnishes the State Depart
ment at Washington with brief account of a
series of earthquakes which prevailed for
several days at Bathang, in the province of
Sczhuen, China. About the LIST of April
there was sudden and unaccountable rise of
waters in the district of Bathang, which con-
tinued until the It'll, when the country for
nearly four hundred miles around was con-
vulsed by earthquakes. The shocks were
very severe, and continued, with intermissions,
for ten days, when they became less frequent
and finally ceased. The scenes which ensued
were horrible beyond description. During
this time the earth rocked and reeled like
ship at sea in violent storm Eight
temples were thrown down, 2,42l dwell
ings were destroyed and 2,29S persons
crushed by the falling walls. To add to these
accumulated horrors flames broke out among
the ruins in Bathang and ragged with uncon-
trollable fury during five days, consuming
everything within their reach, and destroying
the lives of hundreds who were lying wounded
and helpless among the ruins Of their homes.
Steep hills sunk out Of sight, and in their
places naught Is seen but yawning CULTS.
while in other places the earth upheaved lcav-
ing hills many feet in height. Many singular
phenomena attended this earthquake. the full
particulars of which will be anxiously watched

A weak Defence of the Commune.

NJ. Henri Delescuze, in letter which we
publish in this mornings HERALD, attempts
and, in truth, we confess in a very able
manner from his standpoint-to defend the
recent doings Of the Commune of Paris. Ac-
cording to the writer the only honor, if honor
it be, attaching to the whole transaction is
due to the Paris leaders, not to the German
radicals or any other class of men. 1t Is not
at all likely that the radicals whom NJ. Deles-
clue speaks Of will attempt to glorify them
selves or seek to rob the patriots OF Paris Of
their share Of the glory OF the burning of
Paris or the massacres which were perpe-
trated there in the name Of liberty and
freedom. That there was some ground
for opposition to the Bordeaux and Versailles
governments, in some respects, we admit;
but that that opposition should attempt to
gain its point by fire and sword we most en-
phatically frown down. twas not only Paris,
but all France, that the Commune sought to
bring under its rule. According to the radi-
cal ideas Of the men who we're foremost In the
red rebellion, which has caused blood to How
so freely through the streets Of the capital and
RACED many proud edifice to the ground,
Paris and the large cities were to dominate
France and teach the nation what liberty Is.
If the capital could have done this without
cities. sveh as LYONS. Bordeaux. Marseilles.

Amiens, Havre, &C., it would never have called
upon them even for aid, as it would have
dictated to them, in case of success, the
course they should pursue. That this was
the aim is evident in many ways. So far as
the agricultural districts were concerned
Paris knew nothing of them, and, what is
more, did not care to know. Yet this
movement in Paris was cherished by many
who call and believe themselves republicans
The events of the last ten days, even, will not
convince them that the rising Of the Paris
reds was one Of the most wicked. bloody and
murderous conceptions of the age. Is there
anything to justify the massacres which have
been perpetrated under the Commune? NJ.
Delescluze says that the murders of Generals
Lecomte and Thomas ''were acts of fury
committed by their soldiers" Surely if those
who welded power in Paris at the time Of the
commttal of these murders were unable to
restrain those under their command it is a
pretty good argument that they were unfit for
the positions they aspired to and did occupy.
Had the Communists, or radicals, or liberals,
il you will, fought their antagonists in the
Assembly Chambers with their voices, or
at the ballot boxes with their votes,
we could admire and respect their OPP
position but when they resorted to the
murder of innocent priests and nuns, the
pillage of religious establishments, Wholesale
massacres, and, finally, the attempt to destroy
the whole city, their acts call forth the con-
demnation of every honest man and brand the
insurgents of Paris as the common enemies of
mankind. There were principles in the plat
form Of the Commune which we approved of,
and in which we wished the leaders success in
endeavoring to secure, until they brought
murder, robbery and incendiarism into play.
Then we raised our voice, as we do now,
against any attempt which will aim at plunglng
country into misery by any course conducted
in bloodshed and incendiarism.

Paris and Versailles.

M. Grousset, one of the Commune leaders,
was arrested in Paris yesterday. Felix Ply at
Is still at liberty. 1t is believed that he is
concealed somewhere in the city, and the
search for him is very close. There is little
probability of his escape. Executions are still
numerous at Versailles of those who served in
the army of the Commune Though the num-
her arrested for completely in the rebellion has
been very great 1t is estimated that there are
over fifty thousand Communists still at large.
The police are afraid of them. 1t is true the
number is formidable, but what could fifty
thousand men do in Paris now, with
Marshal MacMahon and his army within
the city? NJ. Girardin again calls,
through the columns of La Li6ertf, for the
establishment Of liberal republic after the
model of this country or Switzerland. This is
a pet hobby OF the celebrated journalist, and
he is not slow in making it known to the
world. The question is, will he ever realize
his dream? Is the motion which has been
made in the Assembly to prolong NJ. Theirs
power for two years step in that direction,
and is the movement to be taken as an indica-
ton that through republican form of govern
ment in France the nation is to be restored to
the position among European nations which
she once occupied? Time alone can solve this
problem. The Paris press again have taken
up the Orleans princes, but this time not in
connection with the monarchy but in appeal
ing to their patriotism to resign their seats in
the Assembly.

Rncllefort rs n Prisoner.

Henri Rochefort, the notorious editor OF
many Partisan journals, and whose pen and
voice were used for the benefit of the Com
mune in its days Of power, is now a prisoner
in Versailles. Rocheiort, unlike Gustave
Flourens, Delescluze and many others whose
names we might cite, chose to fight his battles
with the pen rather than the sword. Yet
Rochefort was not coward. When brought
to Versailles lately as prisoner the crowds
who assembled in the streets hailed him with
shouts of "a baS rdsSdssig; pied u 6rigdnd;
d mortl' 1t was in this way that NJ. Roche
fort was received by Versailles popuace.
We're il not for the vigilance Of the troops who
guarded him on his way to prison he would
have been lynched-a mode Of execution not
unknown In some parts OF America. How
people change. One year ago, in the streets
Of the town through which Rochefort was 80
recently conducted as a prisoner and in which
he was hailed as brigand aud an assassin,
had the fiery editor been led as captive, he
would, in all probability, have been regarded
as martyr. Whatever punishment may be
dealt out to Rochefort, no matter how severe,
he will deserve it. He has always been dis
turber OF the peace, and as such should suffer.

Democratic Slips Between the Cup and
the Lip.

Democratic Slips Between the Cup and
the Lip.
The Pennsylvania democracy have entered
the field for the fall campaign with drums beat
ing and colors flying. They are led by a
gallant soldier, who has as his right bower one
of the best fighting men of the late war.
The Keystone democracy have taken no
step backward in the march of political
events, but rather step forward, inasmuch as
they not only accept the constitutional amend
ments, but aver that the discussion of those
amendments is unnecessary and should be
avoided. Following the lead of the Pennsyl
vania democracy appear the sweeping legions
Of the democracy of Ohio, who, without dilly-
dallying moment, start off in their platform
with the pregnant declaration that the three
constitutional amendments are no longer issues
before the country. Initiating the Pennsyl-
vania democracy in another respect, the
Buckeyes have selected as their standard
bearer one Of the most popular soldiers of the
late rebellion. With steady arms and heads
erect, therefore, the democratic hosts Of
a lively skirmish preliminary to the grand
Presidential field fight next year. Con-
ceding New York to the democracy, there is
no reasonable chance for the republicans to
succeed in 1872 unless-and here comes
the difficulty.
With the laurels of victory almost within
their grasp the national democracy are clogged
and hindered and demoralized by the frenzied
howiings of some exasperated Southerner like
JEFF Davis, who, now that he is engaged in the
life insurance business, would, no doubt, if he
could reap percentage thereby plunge the
country into another deadly conflict. When
one witnesses the struggles of the national
democracy for the reattainment of federal
power, sees them going along SO swimmingly,
with the tide of popularity in their favor,
with good and sound men at the helm, with
such noble chieftain as General Sherman ready
to lead their serried battalions to triumph
when those things appear prominently before
the world, we say it is really painful to see
this glittering prospect of success dashed to
pieces by the conduct of men whose innate
them from paradng their soured and bilious
views before the public. Brilliant as was the
prospect before them, with SO glorious send
off as the platforms and the candidates of the
Pennsylvania and Ohio democraces, YAM
pire interposes his greedy presence between
the national democracy and national success,
the republican waverers are frightened back
into their former household, and wet blanket
is thrown upon democratic enthusiasm every
where.
| 1t will take many ''new departures" of the
democracy to overcome the stigma which a
concejted vaporer like JEFF Davis can cast
upon the party whenever he chooses to open
his mouth and wag his tongue on the subject
of national politics. There is many slip
between the cup and the lip, and the demo-
cracy will find that this is one of them.

TIMBER CULTURE.-Rufus Peter, of
Wyoming county, New York, gives his
ideas through the Germantoesn Telegraph
on raising forest trees He says:
Twas Familiarity acquainted with an old
man who lived in Vermont, in his prime.
He gave a statement of man with ample
means, who improved large area of Yer
mont hill. His object was to raise timber.
He bestowed much labor upon the ground
in removing what some would call rocks.
He built stone fence of great thickness
and height. BY so doing he fitted the land
for timber purposes. He sewed it with
acorns, chestuuts, shellbarks and walnuts.
In but few years he had large supply of
oak and walnut hoop-polcs. Each acre
gave u larger profit i'll the line of hoops
than any other man obtained from any
grain crop. In a few years, comparatively
speaking, each acre of that mans timber
was worth more, apart from any consider ?
ton of the value of the land, than any
grain-growing lands in the region round
about.
will here remark that have carefully
noticed the labors of men who have sought
to raise timber by transplanting locusts
and other trees. They set their trees in
rows at various distances. But to my mind
the plan is Objectionable. The trees are
apt to become crooked, and bushy in theil
tops. The true way is to sow the seed
broadcast and thin out as occasion shall
require. will, if this sketch should meet
approval, write another article.

FARM and HOUSEHOLD.
Essex Hogs.

The improved Essex is Justly considered
one of the most valuable of the English
breeds of hogs. 1t was originated by the
late Lord Western of Essexshire, and has
since been extensively bred and disseminated
by w. Fisher Hobbs, who had unusual
facilities for obtaining the very best ami
mails, on which he has since made consid-
cradle improvement. This breed is said to
have carried off a verv large proportion of
the prizes at the shows of the justly cele-
brated Smithfield Club, England.
This breed was derived from cross of
the native hogs of Essexshre with the
Neapolitan; they closely resemble the last
named both in form and color, but have
better form and size, much more hardi-
ness, and better constitution.
Stevens, in his "Book of the Farm
says of them:-"As to the breed that
shows the greatest disposition to fatten,
together with a due proportion of lean
meat never saw one equal to that origi-
mated by Lord Western of Essex. They
are exceedingly gentle, indisposed to travel
far, could attain, if kept long, great weight,
and are SO compact in form, and small of
bone and offal, that they invariably yield
greater weight of pork than was Judged
before being slaughtered; and more deli
cious ham was never cured than they
afford.
The Essex is usually black, but like the
Berkshire, it is not even "skin deep" the
color being entirely confined to the hair,
and outer or scarf skin. When dressed by
the usual mode of scalding and scraping
the skin is white. The meat is of superior
quality, the fat being firm and the lean
tender, fine-graned, and rich in flavor.
| They also, like the Berkshires, are quite
| free from cuntaneouS diseases, their skins
being usually smooth and healthy, however
| much they are exposed to the sun and mud.
And as compared with the Suffolk, they
attain greater weight at year old; but
they resemble the Suffolk in everything,
except color, are more hardy; and yield a
larger proportion of lean meat.
The Essex were first brought into general
notice in the United States about the year
1852. We are greatly indebted to Col. L.
G. Morris, of Fordham, West Chester
county, n. Y, for their more general intre-
duction, he having made importations from
1851 to 1854 And he seems to have been
very fortunate in his selection of animals
| for importation, as he has imported and
bred some of the finest swine ever exhibited
in the United States. His Berkshires,
Suffolks and Essex were invariably of the
finest quality, and his stock have perhaps
done more to improve the swine of the
country than that of any other breeder OF
importer.
There have also been several later impor-
tations of Essex hogs made. Samuel
Thorn, of Thorndale Mr.. Brewer, of Staten
Island, and Gen. c. Wainright have each
made importations of valuable Essex swine.
In the hands of these able and enterprising
breeders the reputation of this breed has
rapidly risen to the front rank, and is now
perhaps as popular as any of the small
breeds, wherever introduced and tried
The sows are prolific breeders, producing
large filters, but are rather indifferent
