The most mischievous and venal journals aIe
among those seli-styled, independent and parti
zan. They are always ready to support that which
pays the best. OF this class is Ha,per's Weekly
That journal, although pretending to be indie
pendent Of politics, is so welded to Grantism
that 1t has the effrontery to declare in reference
TO Louisiana, that "The real question now to be
decided in Louisiana is not whsther Kellogg or
McEnergy is The legal Governor, but whether the
supporters Of McEnery are not actual rebels, who
have endeavored TO deprive tLeir tellow-citizens
by violence of the right Of voting, and who un-
der the Constitution and the enforcement &C.
have become outlaws and the enemies OF the
nation
This is said in The face OF the fact that COM
mittse of the United States Senate, composed OF
Republicans, appointed to examine the question
reported that McEnery was not elected and had
no we'll grounded authority Tor his usurpatiou
of the position Of Governor.

Preserve the Forests.

The importance of forests to the
health and prosperity of a country has
acquired fresh prominence from an in
ternational discussion of that subject
which has lately taken place in Vienna;
and by representatives of various coun-
tries who had given the question care
full study it was unanimously conceded
that the rain supply was largely depeD
dent upon the preservation Of trees.
So many practical proofs were brought
forward that it was almost impossible
to doubt.
Some years ago Upper Egypt had
only five or six rainy days in the course
of year, but the Pasha planted mil
lions of trees, and the yearly average is
now forty-six rainy days, by which the
country has been incidentally benefited.
The country about Trieste has been
made pretty thorough test. Once it
was fertile, but the forests were swept
away, and barrenness soon followed.
Since then, however, millions of olive
trees have been planted and carefully
reared, and now productiveness has re-
turned. Many other similar instances
of the most convincing character were
brought forward, and formed the basis
of resolution recognizing it as the
mutual duty of all civilized lands to
preserve and cultivate the forests, un-
der certain conditions.

A Bewildcred Father.

milton that something was the matter at
home so, in order to satisfy himself,
he determined to run down to Phila-

patch to the effect Another daugh-
ter has just arrived. Hannah is poorly

found his wife doing pretty we'll, and
the nurse fumbling around with an in

four hours, and finding that everybody
was tolerably comfortable, he returned
to Williamsport without anything being
said about the dispatch, his mother-in-
law supposing, of course, that he had
received it. The day after his arrival
the lines were fixed, and that night he
received dispatch from the telegraph
office dated that very day, and convey

He could not understand it. Daugh-
tersappeared to him to be getting entire
ly too thick. He walked the floor of
his room all night trying to get the
hang of the thing, and the more he con-
sidered the subject the more he became
at the extraordinary occur
renee. He took the early train for the
city, and during the journey was in
of frantic bewilderment.
When he arrived he jumped in a cab,
drove furiously to the house and scared
his mother-in-law into commissions by
rushing in in frenzy, and demanding
what on earth had happened. He was
greatly relieved to find that there were
no twins in the nursery, and to learn
how the mistake occurred. But he is
looking now for the telegraph operator
who changed the date of that dispatch.
Gillingham is anxious to meet him. He
wants to see him about something.

The ST. Louis Murder Case.

The st. Louis papers contain reports
of the evidence given before the Coroner
regarding the murder of Boetticher, the
coachman, by Benjamin F. Cronenbold,
IA brother of his fance. The evidence
shows that deceased was the son OF q
wealthy Prussian merchant, who ac-
cepted a position as coachman in the
family, with romantic motive to win
his bride for himself and not his wealth,
which he left some time ago to enter
into the liquor business that the MUIR
derer and his victim were on good terms
until the day of the wedding and first
attempt upon Boettichers life, when
young Cronenbold received an anony.
nous letter that led to the rash deed.
The letter stated that if the young man
wished to hold the respect of his friends
he must shoot Boetticher, or at least
drive him away from his home.
The testimony given exploded the
cruel charges made by the murderer
that the deceased coachman had effected
the ruin of the mother and daughter,
while it also showed that at times the
accused has betrayed signs of emotional
insanity.

EARTHQUAKES in 1873.

In January of the year 1873 an earth
quake at Soonghur, in Barodies, East
Indies, did great damage and killed
1,500 persons. On the third of Febru-
ary there was a convulsion in the old
Isle of Samos, destroying lives and
property. In March occurred the pow
erful shock which prostrated the city of
Salvador, in Central America. The in
habitants, knowing the nature and his
tory of that ground, took refuge in the
open country and so escaped. In June
the sub-Alpine country to the north of
Venice felt the movements OF te,rc-
Dluoto. The California and Oregon
earthquakes took place on the 22d of
November. Considering the damage
done on the surface by those monitors,
it is pleasant to think that the hot CEN
trail mass which produces them is grow
ing cooler by degrees, and thus losing
its virulency, and that earthquakes may
yet be as obsolete as the mastodons and
deinotheria. But, as the change will
require time, since the hardening of our
upper crust has already taken up, as we
are told, about one hundred millions of
years, the consideration can hardly be
very consoling after all, save to those
whose expectations are of the most san
guine order.

A Fair POuItryIst.

One young country girl, Miss Annie
Kirk, of Bethel, Penn, is entitled to
the praise of being the best lady poul-
tryist on record. In 1872 she cleared
$3.50, after paying for all the feed,
freight, &c. She commenced with
eighty fowls-Cochin Chinas, Bramahs,
and other varieties, and found the CO.
chins and Bramahs the most profitable,
being healthier and of speedier growth
for the market. She fed from seven to
ten bushels of corn per week, and the
young ones wit cracked corn. She is
also keeping al account of stock this
year-an account which shows every
item of expense and protit-and OK
poets to realize rs much if not more
than last year. When attacked with
the prevailing poultry disease last year
Miss Kirk speedily checked its spread
by the free use of lime, scattering it all
about and giving lime-water to drink.
An example was given last year of
lady at Concord, Mass, who raised
gross value of $3.50 worth from Domin.
iques and common breeds; but this
was exceeded by Miss Kirk, whose
profits alone are $500

II Was Such Fun +!

A Peruvian officer, stationed on board
man-of-war lying in Callao harbor
(writes a correspondent, had lovely
and devoted Peruvian wife, and both
were devoted to each other, but both
unreasonably jealous. An American
officer, fond of II practical joke, and a
great favorite with husband and wife,
conceived very clever trick, as he
thought, to break them of their un-
founded jealousy. He caused note
to be sent to the wife that her husband
was in the habit of going to certain
street and number, and asking at the
door for Signorita Mercedes, each
week, on such a day and hour. He also
had an anonymous note sent to the hus-
band that the wife was seen weekly
going at the same day and hour to
such n street and number and asking
for Signora Mercedes. II was n
large dress.making establishment, but
never patronized by the wife. Secur-
ing in some way the aid Of n servant of
the establishment, he awaited the
"fun,' as he supposed. The wife, true
to her womanly curiosity and jealousy,
came first, closely yelled, and in n
trembling voice, said, "Signorita Mer-
cedes, and was shown into an ante
room. The husband, few minutes
later, and punctual to the hour speci-
fed, presented himself mt the door and
rung. To the boy who opened it he
said simply, "Signora Mercedes" and
was at once shown into the room where
sat his wife Both began at once 81
have found you out 81 have caught
you !" &c. Neither would listen to ex-
planation or reason. The wife scream
ed and cried +; the husband swore and
stormed, each accusing the other. Al
ter both We're exhausted, the lady of
the establishment, hearing the noise,
came in, listened to the parties in as
tonishment, and protested that she had
seen neither of them ever there before.
The boy was called in; in fright he
confessed the money paid him for the
:" fun :" was cuffed, kicked, and dis
charged and the husband and wife
went home arm in arm, happy and
ashamed. But the friend who had
gotten up the fun" The evening of
the denouement, while in his room,
knock came at the door. He said,
"Come in, and in walked the husband

for :" him then and there. They scratch
cd him and tore out his hair; they
banged and beat him, and pulled out
his beard they cutfed and kicked him,

for a week, his eyes were closed for a
fortnight, and his friends on shipboard
never dared to ask him what was the
matter with him.

The Bender Horror.

A sensation was produced in Spar
tansburg, South Carolina, by the arrest
of the Bender family of murderers, at
Bivingsville, a small manufacturing
village in the county, about five miles
from the ,wn.
Every one will remember the great
excitement produced not long since by
the discovery of the wholesale murders
committed by the Bender family in
Kansas and the exhuming of the bodies
of their victims found buried on the
premises around their dwellings. and
that the Bender family all made good
their escape before their crimes were
detected. They were traced and an
officer arrested an old man nearly sew
enty years Of age at Bivingsville by the
name of Thos. Webb as the veritable
old man Bender, and his wife as the
old lady Bender Steps have also been
taken to arrest his son, Joshua Bender,
and his wife, who arc living in North
Carolina, near Hickory Station, on the
Western North Carolina Railroad. 1t
is learned that this man Thomas West,
q shoemaker by trade, formerly lived
near Bivingsville, and moved West
with his family about II years ago. The
name of Bender must have been assur-
ed by them when they moved West, or
when they commenced the life of rob.
bers and murderers. As the old man
and his wife moved back to the county
short time since, and settled il the
neighborhood in which they formerly
lived, without any suspicion of being
remembered by the name of Webb by
some of the old citizens who knew them
many years ago,

Changed His Gait.

From the Oakland Ne,Cs we clip this
item concerning the exploit of a young
Atheman:--
Some boys meet little reverses very
much as duck receives q shower of
rain. We heard story about one of
this kind yesterday which goes to show
how unimpressible to the sentiment of
fear some youths are. As gentleman,
who lives at the corner of Fourth and
Franklin streets, was about to retire, at
about half-past nine o'clock night be-
fore last, he overheard three youngs-
ters, on the sidewalk in front of his
house, concocting plan to worry him
little. One of the front windows was up
a few inches, and there was no light in
the room. The conversation interested
him, but he could not exactly make out
what the programme was to be. Sud
denly one of the youths walked up to
the garden gate, opened it quietly,
stopped to get "a good purchase, and
then lifted it from the hinges. Noise
lessly that smart young man walked on
tiptoe toward the house with his bur-
den, cautiously he ascended the steps
and carefully laid he down the ponder
ous structure, with its upper edge rest
ing nicely against he door, so that when
any one should open it to leave the
house in the morning it would fall
against pair of legs or a double set
of toes.
That was glorious moment for that
youth. He could imagine the fright
and CONSERVATION of the master of the
house when that gate should tumble in
upon him, and set him dancing with
rage and pain. Having fixed the gate
all right, the young man was about to
depart, when he became almost rooted
to the spot by hearing a gruff voice
issue from the half-closed blind, order
ing him to stake that gate back" where
he got it from, under the penalty of
having his legs shot of All the fun
of the thing was gone in an instant;
and. begging the man inside not to
shoot, he quickly but sadly picked up
the gate and returned it to its hinges,
and departed from that place mucbly |
young man,
