a walk on Tuesday, last week,go-
ing along two by two, when turn
ing into a street on which saloons
do much abound,all at once there
was a clatter as of one universal
feu-de,joie of small arms, caused
by the sudden clapping to of the
window shutters OF all the sa-
looms. The supposition was that
the women temperance move

minutes not a saloon but was
closed and ready for prayer and
praise. When the innocent girls
had passed by, the saloon keep

was restored, the doors unlocked
and the traffic went on. The

"ExECUTIvE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, March 9, 1S74."}
1t is with deep regret that the
President announces to the people
of the United States the death of
Millard Fillmore, one Of bis honor
ed predecessors, who died at Buffa-
10, New York. last evening. The
long continued public services and
eminent purity of character of the
deceased eX-President will be re-
membcred beyond the days of
mourning in which the nation will
be thrown by the event which is
thus announced. AS mark Of re
spect to his memory it is ordered
that the Executive Mansion and
the several departments be draped
in mourning until the close of the
day on which the funeral shall take
place, and that business he suspend
ed on the day of the funeral. 1t is
furthermore ordered that the War
and Navy departments cause suita-
BILE military honors to be paid on
the occasion, to the memory OF the
eminent citizen whose life is now
closed. U. ). GRANT.

A member of the Ohio Legis-
lature has done good thing, it
being nothing less than the pre-
sentation of a bill to strangle the
"emotional insanisy dodge" SO
great a favorite with the murder
er of the period. The bill pro-
vides that when insanity is plead
ed as a defense to a criminal
charge, the prisoner shall be ex-
amined by a special jury. And
if found to be sane, the plea of
course fails, and the trial pro-
ceeds. If really insane, he is
sent to a lunatic asylum and kept
there until cured, when the trial
is to be resumed.
The Ohio State Journal makes
the following suggestion: "We
have no doubt that the shortest
way to resumption would be
through the issue OF four hund-
red million more greenbacks. That
would make greenbacks worth
about four dollars a cord, and the
Grangers would mix them with
their corn and burn them for fuel
then we should have specie pay
ments as a fiat acconpli without
any plan of resumption"
An sshonest man" is around the

forget it and the next day the
name appears at the bank at the
bottom of a note for several hund
red dollars.

AMENDING THE ADAIR LAW.

The Cleveland Leader, refer
ring to the proposed amendment
to the Adair Liquor Law, which
provides that before a wife, or
daughter, or mother can recover
damages from the rum seller who
makes her husband, father or son
drunk, she must first have given
that saloon keeper notice either
in writing or in the presence OF
witnesses to desist from such sale
says:
sThis amendment, as applied
to Cleveland, would require of a
drunkard's wife to GO round and
notify 1900 saloon keepers not
to sell liquor to her husband be-
fore the Adair law would secure
her any protection. 1t must be
plain to every Que who gives the
subject a moments thought, that
such an amendment would utter
ly destroy the Adair law as a re,
straining statute. Of the drunk
ards wives and daughters in this
city, not one in ten would dare te
90 and forbid even one saloon
keeper from making her husband
or father a beast. The man who
needs such restraint is, in mos
cases,a brute, who would not hesi
tate to punish. with kicks and
blows, any such interference witt
his appltite for drink. 1t is tt
the credit of womankind tina
evry few of them, even though
doomed to share their home will
a drunkard, would go into sa
loon, and in the presence of th'
rabble that frequents such place
forbid the man behind the ba
from making her husband or ia
ther drunk. AS the law nov

les to protect themselves agains

PRESERVATION OF FOREST TREES

PRESERVATION OF FOREST TREES.
A message from the President
has brought before Congress an
important measure for the prsser-
walton of our forests. At the
Portland meeting of the Ameri-
can Association for the Advance
ment of Science, that body en-
powered a committee to memoir
alize Congress on this subject
The memorial recommends the
appointment of some man of ap-
proved and practical acquaint-
ance with the subject as a Com
missioner Of Forestry. His du-
ties will be to investigate the
consumption, importation and ex-
portatien of timber,the means for
its preservation and renewal, the
influence of forests upon climate,
and the experience of foreign
countries. in these matters. There
can be no doubt that prompt ac-
ton is needed to save our forests
lands from denudation. The ex
pense of measures having this. il
view would probably be soon re-
imbursed by the increase of valu
able timber and the economy in
the use of what still remains
Even if a Forest Commission
does little else than enforce exis
ting laws,so as to check the prod
igal waste by axe and fire that
is now taking place, great good
will be accomplished.
