FORESTS AND GRASS,

The Reuue DIES DeuI MondeS contains an
interesting paper by NJ. Fl. Blerzy giving an
account of an experiment in the French
department of the High Alps, in planting
forest trees and turf on the side of the
mountain. Before the law for reforresting
these elevated lands was enacted in 1860, it
was believed that the removal of timber and
neglect to SOW grass seed or plant turf had
lessened the precipitation of rain aud sno ",
and thereby diminished the annual yield of
heritage for the cows and goats of peasants
The inhabitants had fallen off in numbers
II 100 in twenty years from 1916 to 1866
As first passed, the law required the re-
bOiSement or replantlng of the district in
forest trees to form woods.
The owners of herds naturally regarded
this operation as destroying their valuable
grazing range, and complained to the gov.
eminent. In 1864 the law was amended
by allowing the substitution of "gazonne-
ment" for ''reb0isement." Turf alone was
required to be planted to cover the ground
with grass, and consolidate loose soil that
was prone to wash into gullies, as may be
seen in the billy and mountain districts in
this State. The report says: "On slope:
which the flow of water has not as yei
wholly denuded, the smallest patch of vege.
tation, simple tuft of grass, sufices to re
tard the waste of rain water and to distri-
butte it, preserving the freshness of the sol
to the advantage of vegetation itself, and
detains the pebbles from rolling down tn,
SLOPE"
The good results Of this experiment ar,
SO evident to the peasants that they have
not only ceased to oppose it, but with rare
exceptions, they have become jealous advo
Gates for carrying it on. Government b,
acting on the suggestions of science, ha:
given them an example which they are fol
lowing to the great improvement Of theil
own lands. "Green fields and forests ar,
everywhere encroaching on rugged noun
tain sides, and the barren valleys becom
covered with crops and groves"
This Alpine experiment is exec dingly
instructive. 1t shows that when maj
r unites science with rural labor, he is able t
conquer nature by obeying her laws. Al
will admit that neither the Legislature no
science has done much to improve Tennes
see Agriculture; while the cream OF our sol
is washed into creeks and rivers.

A SAMPLE OF TEXAN RETALIA.



Grant has plenty of troops to contest
elections in the Southern States, but none
to protect the citizens of Texas along the
Mexican frontier. Exssper2ted beyond
endurance, the Texans have taken the mat
ter in their own hands. The Washington
correspondent of the New York EOentng
Post says the burning of the Mexican
town of Resurrection, about forty miles
above Fort Duncan, on the 9th of Sep
TENDER, was retaliatory act Of Texans,
upon whom the. Resurrection villagers,
headed by their Alcalde, had made frequent
raids. The attack was made by sixteen
Americans, disguised as Indians. They
set fire to the Alcalde's house
to get him out of it, and having
forced him out he killed one oil
the Texans before being killed himself.
After killing two other Mexicans and
wounding a woman and child, the Texans
burned the town and recrossed the Rio
Grande. The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette says:
