FORESTS AND DRoUaHT.-Sardinia and Sici-
ly, opce,the granaries Of Italy haye suffered the
penalty oft their thonghtlessness in eztermina-
ting their forests. Two thousand years ago
these lands were celebrated for their wonderful
productiveness, and were said to be the most
beautiful in the world. In 1900, Humboldt
visited Venezuela, South America, and was in
formed BY the natives living in the valley Of
Araguay, that they had noticed, with great as
tonishment, that lake which lay in the mid
die of the valley had decreased in volume eve
ry year. The cause of this is clearly traced to
the telling yof a. great, number Of trees which
grew or tie surrounding mountains In Hun
gary the periodical droughts are universally at
iributed to the annihilation of forests. In Cal
70, Lower Egypt, great many years ago, rain
fell but scldom-only once in three or four
years |; but since the time Of Mahommeti Ali,
twenty to thirty millions Of trees have been
planted, and the result is now, that the people
have from thirty to forty rainy days every year.
Surely these few of the many examples are
warnings sufficient to put US on our guard.

REMARKABLE sAoAc1rY OF A Doe.-A

REMARKABLE SAGACTTY OF A DoG.--A
singular case of canine sagacity was related to
us day or two SINCE The gentleman who
owned the dog lived, at the time the occurrence
happened, in Southington. 1t was good while
ago His dog, a fox-hound, was bitten in the
nose by red adder. This is snake whose
venomous quality is only inferior to that of the
rattlesnake it will almost always kill man.
The dog, though bitten, continued to assail the
snake, and succeeded in killing him. To the
surprise of his owner, who had witnessed the
combat, the dog then turned and fled at his
best speed for home, the house being two miles
distant. The people at the house saw him come
running up the road and plunge into the open
cellar-way They found him energetically paw;
ing up the moist earth of the cellar bottom, and
into the hole he thus made he stuck his nose,
and then, holding it there, he paved more dirt
around his head so as to bury bis nose and face
out of sight. They could not call or coax him
away; and there be staid-so far as the family
were observers of him-for two days, with his
nose and face buried in the moist ground in the
cellar. Then he came FORTH all we'll. How
did that dog know that that singular treatment
would save him?

IR1sH IMMreRANTs.1 The Agricultural De-
partment thinks that much good has been ac-
complished by the. distribution of its yearly
reports in Europe-Congress having authorized
such action. One of the results claimed is
that a large immigration may soon be expected
from Belfast. The American Consul in that
city has written letter to the Department, in
which he states that thirty-three hundred of
the flower of the youth of that region had
sailed for this country. The territory around
Belfast is inhabited BY among the most intel.
ligent and Industrious Of the Irish race, and
such q, people will be great acquisition to any
locality where they may settle. Whether the
Agricultural reports bring them OF not, we can
and hope that they may find homes in the
South.

Died Yesterday.

How appropriate to the present time is the
beautiful, but sad paragraphs below. Every
day does this little sentence meet the eye.
Died yesterday:
'.Died yesterday" so-and-so. Every day a
flower is plucked from some sunny home-a
breach is made il some happy circle-a jewel
stolen from some treasury of love.
Each day, from the summer-felds of life,
some harvest disappears-yea, every hour some
sentinel falls from the ramparts into eternity:
Even as we write, the funeral of one who tdied
yesterday" winds like winter shadow along
the streets.
"Died yesterday" Who died? Perhaps it
was gentle, babe sinless as an angel, pure as
the zephyr's hymn-one whose laugh was as
the gush of summer rills lettering in the bower
"a May-time crowned with the passion-fower
that never fade.
Or mayhap it was a youth, hopeful, happy
and generous, whose path was hemmed by
flowers, with not serpent lurking underneath
one whose soul painted for communion with
the great and good,an reached for the guerdon
in the distance. But that heart is still now ::
he "died yesterday"
! aDied yesterday" A young girl, pure as
the orange flowers that clasped her forehead,
was stricken down as she stood at the altar
and from the strong aislesEof the temple, she
was borne to the garden of the slumberers."
sfA.fall, crowned man, girt with the halo of
victory, and at the days close, under his own
yinec and fig tree, fell to dust even as the an

cares, even as he looked Out upon 1hs distant
hills for the coming of the angel hosts, sank
into dreamless slumber; and on his door-post
is written "Died yesterday"
aDied Yesterday Daily, men, women and
children are passing away, and hourly in some
graveyard, the sod is flung upon the dead. AS
IoftenSin the morn, VIC find some flower that
biushed 1sweetly in the sunset was withered up
vforeyer-so daily, when,-we rise from the
biyonac 10 stand against onr posts, ae3miss
some brother soldier, whose CHEEKY cry in the
tseiges and struggles of the past, has been as
fire from heaven upon our hearts.
| Each day some pearl drops from the jewel
thread of friendship-some Tyre, to which we
haze been wont toIisten,. has been hushed for,
ever. But wise is he who iilonrns not thepearf
and music lost, for life with him shall pass
away silently as an Eastern shadow from the
hills, and death be a triumph and gain.

The Annexation of the Sandwich Islands.

The San Francisco Alta Californian claims
to havereceiyed, sin advance ofall news here:
tofore published the intelligence from its
special Washington correspondent that Presi-
dent Grant has appointed special Commis-
sioner, in the person of Col. A. B. Steinberger,
hofi w Washington, to visit the Sandwich Islands
for the purpose inquiring into the project of
annexing, those islands to the United States.
The commissioner named in this connection
has already arrived on the Pacific coast, but
his purpose in visiting that section has been
kept profound secret, and the date Of his de-
parture for the Islands, is not yet reported.
The Washington correspondent gives the fol-
lowing particulars concerning this project:
+ The question Iof The annexation of the Sand
wich Islands to the United States is being seri-
ously considered in Washington. A. few weeks
ago it was rumored in diplomatic circles that
3 special commissioner would be sent out to t,
feel the Sandwich Island pulse, and to report
On the practicability Of the scheme, as well as
the general disposition of the people most in
terested in the matter.
SFhis rumos had not assumed definite charac-
ter at that time, and wasnot generally cred
tied. H..J :, inc!
Now tits known, though the public have not
BEEN apprised of the fact, that the plan has
been contaminated Colonel A. B. Steinberger,
OF this city, who has long enjoyed the conf.
dence of President Grant, has been appointed
to perform this mission, and has already depart
led for the Pacific coast.
It is contemplated to have the matter of
annnexation looked into and reported upon in a
manner somewhat, similar to that adopted in
the, preliminary negotiations in San Domingo.
There are not, however, as many objections
made to this policy as were urged against the
San Domingo scheme, and an effort is not hkes
ly to stir. up IS much opposition. The restric-
tionists and Tho enemies Of the Administration
win undoubtedly raise Howl about is; but If
the people of the Sandwich Islands are ripe
for the movement, and Colonel Steinberger's
report Is favorable, we may expect that the
President will RECOMMEND EanneSation in his
next message.
Full authority is given to the commissioner
to use for this mission any war vessel on the
Pacific coast, which may be available and suit
able for the purpose. His instructions are not
made public, but your correspondent has aseer-
tanned that he isIauthof ofized 20 make inyestig6l
tions and report on the results of his work.
He is q man Of bright keen intelligence,
and possesses Bright eye that sees everything.
