THE GREAT AMERICAN DESERT.
Mr.. r. S. ELLIOTT, the intelligent agent of
the Kansas Pacific railroad, gives an in-
teresting account of his successful attempts
to plant forest trees on the plains Of what
used to be known as the Great American
Desert. He is Of the opinion that by plant
ing shelter belts of about four rods wide,
around each torty-acre tract, wheat, oats,
barley and potatoes can be successfully
cultivated, so that, as the trees become
large, the rainfall would be insured, while
the evaporation would be materially les
sened.

Arbitrations. - \
The writer of this article has recently
been much interested in reading over a
copy Of the tciU Of General George Wash
ington, Of Mount Vernon, and to observe
how very positive he was in making provi-
sion for arbitration in case Of any difficulty
or dispute in the settlement of his vast es-
tate in Virginia and elsewhere. M
Settling disputes by arbitration has been
practiced by some religious societies for
long period of time. r- ElsIE 81
| think this was the practice. throughout
Europe during the middle ages, from the
Sth to the 18th centuries. George Wash
ington, in his last wW and testament, says;
+" Having endcavored to be plain and ex-
plict in all the Deyises--even at the OK
pence of Prolixity, perhaps of tautology--I
hope and trust that no disputes will arise
concerning them /; but if contrary toexpec-
tations, the case should be otherwise, from
the want of legal expressions, or the usual
technical terms, or because too much or too
little has been said on any Of the deyises to
be consonant with law, my ioiH and darec-
ton expressly IS, that all disputes .Gf UNI
happily any should. arise shall be decided by
tilree impartial and intelligent men, known
for the probity and good understanding,
two to be CHOSEN by the disputants, each
having the choice of one, and the third by.
those two, which three men thus chosen
shall, amtcttered by lav or legal const,uc-
tons, declare their sense of the testator's
intention, and such decision is, to all in
tents and purposes, to be as binding on the
parties as if it had been given in the SUI
to,,r OF f1,n FOL Siat ..l
1t is said upon the best authority, that the
very large and valuable estate was distrib-
,uted among many legatees, yet no dispute
sufficient to cause litigation ever arose.
The Society of Friends has been in exis-
tence over two hundred years commencing
in England in the latter part of the reign
CharlesI., say about the year lGiG-7 (who
was dethroned in 1G4S). The arbitration
system has always been theirrule in the
of difficulties, and has worked |
perfectly we'll throughout the whole time. |
The Society being composed of many thou-
sand men of, like passions and prejudices
and feeling of other men, why may it not
work as well everywhere? If good for
one Society il is good fora nation, and for
every nation Of the earth. Now this mode
has been adopted by two OF the most pow
erful nations of mem England and Amer
ica7-will it not be well for every lover of
the human race to embrace all opportuni-
ties of advancing this benevolent cause.
Peace societies are being organized over
the northern and western portions Of this
land; can they not be extended every
where. Only calculate the saving of human |
life of armies and nayies in every land, if
this plan is adopted everywhere. The
same energies could then be transferred to
the cultivation of the soil, and producing
articles to sustain human life, instead Of |
destroying it. .ta K tigsA

THE NEW YEAR.

To-day,m the welcome sunshine that fol

better life on these occasions. But som,
how 1t rises in our heart to say, that VIC
: want very much, to be more useful in this
I New Year than in any year before; we want
to express our entire good will to all our
fellow-citizens, however widely they may
differ from us in any matter, and our best
! wishes for them and theirs during this New
Year and all the years that are to follow.
That they may be prosperous in business,
fortunate in their families, and shielded
from disaster is our most earnest wish and

except from this, or whose loss or sorrow
or deprivation we could look upon without
regret, or refrain from relieving to the
extent of our ability. .-5f is93t1gt !,
Our hearts warmest syinpathies are
with all who suffer without strength to
work, who have seen their ship 90 down
full freightcd with precious hopes, and who
now stand with nerveless hands, disabled
in the strife.

The New Year comes, full of glorious
new tasks and grand opportunities to every
faithful soul.
Behind these, also, are new and
glorious rewards. Every honest, faithful
effort to lift up and enlighten men, every
blow struck upon the mailed crest of false
hood, every thorn removed and flower
planted in the paths where little children
tread, will come back to us in blessings
multiplied thousand fold.
However humble or obscure our efforts.
these widening circles of reaction will reach
through the universe, and bring back the
sweet and potent influences of the serene
heavens into Our hearts. And this is Sc
cured by laws older than the plan Of the
world, which make the reward of every
brave, kind word, and every good deed fol-
low it forever with full equivalent. To
fulfil these tasks wisely, to equal these op-
portunltes, is the aspiration of all true
hearts. ,sg Tt43a;l iai. .f6 i su
Our crop of happiness will be just equal

Wearying effort for the universal interest
which we plant. Let us bare strong arms
for the planting lof wide breadths of soil
and stint neither seed nor tillage. So shall
sourohearts rejoice all the year, in the pros
poets and the realization of harvest which
no blight or frost can spoil, but whose col
den plumes shall wave through all the ages,
to attest our fidelity, and strengthen those
who are to come after us. .,ii ..lla..i
