The Tichborne claimant, after tri-
umphal tour through the provinces of
England, has at last returned to London,
accompanied as usual by his two warm
supporters, Messrs. Onslow and Whailey.
He there held a monster meeting, at
which 5000 people are reported to have
assembled. The claimant made speech
of an hours length. in which he attacked,
AZ usual, the arguments that had been
brought against him in the late trial, and
declared that he wanted nothing more
than for his fellow. .countrymen to aid
him in obtaining fair trial. One Alex
ander Kennedy, an ex.sergeant Of carbi-
neers, came forward and declared the
speaker to be the same Sir Roger Dough
ty Tlchborne who had commanded him
in Ireland. At the conclusion OF the
speeches the meeting unanimously voted
resolution to the effect that the claim
ant is no other than Sir Roger Dough
ty Tichborne, and avowing that the
counsel who had hitherto undertaken bis
defence, had not done their duty. Even
the press is coming over to his side, the
Morning Advertiser remarking eignif-
cantly that if the claimant be really no
other than Arthur Orton, it is strange
that out of 5000 persons, living in the
Immediate vicinity of his birth, no one
should have as yet been able to recog-
nize in him the son of the butcher OF
Mapping.

Coop FEELINGS. We know blunt
old fellow who sometimes hits the nail
on the head more aptly than philoso-
phere. He once heard man praised for
''good feelings" Everybody joined and
said the man was possessed OF excellent
feelings.
"What has he done?" asked the old
genius.
HE is possessed of the most benevo-
lent feelings" Was the reply.
"What has he done?" cried the old
fellow, again.
By this time. the company thought it
necessary to show some Of his favorite
'doings. They began TO cast about in
their mind; but the old man still shout

Fruits, too, are fourishing in the alter

with corn and potatoes and yellow with

insects ravaging vines, plants and

Now that the subject of forest culture
is attracting so much attention in this
country, a description OF the manner in
which the French keep up their piue
forests may be Of interest to those who
look with apprehension on the waste of
valuable timber which annually takes
place in this country. On the south
western seahoard of France an area of
over 1,906 square miles is devoted to
the culture of the pine tree. The soil
on which the pine is cultivated is formed
of sea sand, and during the first three
years no attention is paid to the seed
lings. In the fourth year the weeds
and unpromisiIg young trees are cleared
out, and in the fifth year the useless
shoots are trimmed off. When fifteen
years old the small trees to be used for
poles are cut down, leaving one hundred
or more trees per acre for tapping,
which begins when the trees are twenty
five years old. Then the weaker trees
are gradually cut down, leaving only the
strongest. The French maritime pine
lives two hundred years. These forests
are intersected with valleys, water
courses, and roads, and rarely suffer
from fire.

GREELY's SUpPoRTERs.-In the
whole State of New York there are only
four Republican journals that advocate
the Jhappaqua Philosophers pretentions
to the Presidency. One Of the four is
the Philosophers own paper. In Penn
sylvauia there are only five Democratic
journals that advocate Greely, and not
one Republican paper. In Michigan
there ore only four out of thirty-two
Democratic journals that swallow Gree
lyism, and perhaps one or two obscure
Republican concerns. And this is the
Republican whose candidacy was to split
the republican party in twain and beat
Grant.
