IL Lower Yoder Townshiy, on Friday
last, an aged lady and a gentleman, like
wise well up in years. got into little
theological dispute at the old gentleman s
sons house, the latter being married to a
daughter of the old lady alluded to. The
discussion terminated in muscular COM
bat on the highway, several children of
the respective principals bearing a hand,
while a number of dogs, flock OF geese,
and the children in an adjoining school
room looked on with admiring interest.

law, but ii is presumed that they thought
better Of il, as we have not learned that
any iniormations were lodged.

THE ambition OF too many young men
leads them TO seek situations as clerks, under
the supposed ''respectability" ofthe calling,
rs compared with that of II mechanic, but
il can scarcely compensate any one for the
loss Of such opportunities for advancement
in life as are open to all industrious skilled
mechanics. \ correspondent of New
York paper, writing on the subject of
Trades for Boys, gives his own expert
encc in reply to the complaint of clerk,
who receives only Sl2 per week, and has
wife and family TO support. lie says
AT l6 / entered printing Office and wor-
kcd through the varions grades to journey
man at y | had saved 81, 600 out of my
wages. and, with a fellow workman, with
a similar amount, started business. After
eight yeMs of steady work, we. are able
to draw So 600 year each from the bust
ness and have 81, .,0G0 worth Of machinery
and material all paid f0r. If had follow
cd the example of the boys who left school
when did, whose career have been able
TO trace, / might now be enjoying Il $l2
clerkship.
The Philadelphia Ledgor in reply re-
marks There is nothing remarkable in
this experience, except that too few of the
young men of to-day can point TO such a
record. The path is open toall but few
have the resolution and patience required
TO tread in il. But although every me
chanic does not save money enough 10
start in business for himself, they all have
trades that are not likely 10 become so
much oveTcrowdcd rs the occupations of
clerks, book-kecpcrs, Office attendants,
COpyistS and sAlyaMcn. Hence they gen
orally obtain work Witk little difficulty al
good and sometimes high wages. The
market for labor OF all kinds is under the
same unwrittcn laws rs the market iol
food; while there are fifty applicants for
each vacant clerkship the wages OF clerks
will be low, and 50 low that little money
can be saved for the improvement of The
clerks condition in lifc."

mental action but being, as it is, a purely
industrial enterprise, should be inaugurated
and carried out by the people themselves.
At the same time to call for reductions
in the administrative apparatus-which
we consider right in Itself, and shall al
WAYS advocate-and also to seek every OPP
portunity of throwing that work upon the
administration which ought to be done by
the people themselves, is, to say the least,
Inconsistent. These remarks Of ours come
post fcstum, which although not voluntary,
these columns not being at our disposal at
the time-we do not regret, for, seeing
that without the governments taking the
initiative in the case, it would have come
to nausht, we must sacrifice principles to
expediency and be. glad to see that the
advancement of the aIl-important ques.
ton is where it is, in the hands of the gov
eminent, and only hope that now it is
there it will be furthered with all the dill
gence it deserves.

TREES M SHRUBS.

In laying low the forests, SAYS Hum
boIdt, which cover the tops and the hants
of the mountains, mankind in all climates
are at one and the same time eutailing two
great calamities upon succeeding genera
lions Ga scarcity both Of wood and of
water"
The truth of this remark is verified by
examining the history Of all the civiIised
countries Of the globe. The large extent
of forests in comparison with that Of mea-
dOWs, pastures and plains seem to indicate
that trees and shrubs act an important
part in the economy Of our globe. In
countries uninhabited by man, the indu-
ence of forest must be on the climate, on
the soil and on the number of animals and
herbaceous vegetables in civilized coun-
tries, to these Influences must be added
the relation in which they stand to men,
1t appears highly probable that the
greater part Of the surface of our globe has
been at one time covered with wood. The
whole Of the American continent was until
lately almost entirely covered with trees
and shrubs, aud presented few naked sur
faces, except those of the prairies, a%IIuviai
deposits on the banks of its larger rivers,
and on the tops of the highest mountains;
and what was so recently the condition
of America, must, We may reasonably sup
pose, have, once at least, been that Of every
other part Of the world.
The principal influence of forest in a
wild state is on the soil. Forests may be
regarded as a provision of nature for pre-
pairing the surface Of the earth for the
cultivation of the chief productions, which
constitute the food of men and of domestic
animals the soil being furnished with
that organised matter SO essential to the
growth of perfect plants by the decay Of
leaves, and ultimately, by the decay Of
trunks and branches.
The waters of a country, the rivers and
lakes, are invariably affected by the state
of the woods of that country. These
woods and their messy beds must, in all
cases, act more or less as a sponge in re-
tanning the water which falls on them, and
water must thus be supplied more gradu-
ally to the rivers and water streams in
co lntries covered with wood, than in those
which are cleared and regularly drained.
That which is applicable on a grand
sca'e where forests cover many thousand
acres must operate more or less in the
same manner where they extend only to a
few acres. That the island OF st Cr0lX
was densely covered with trees and bushes
of various kinds in former days is well
known, and that the great scarcity Of
water to a great extent at least is caused
by the present scarcity of trees, is more
than probable.
There is a regulation on record from the
year 1895 which prohibits the cutting
down Of trees for making boards for sale.
The Governor" says the regulation, =" is
sorry to observe, that some planters are
picking out the best trees not only on
their own estates, but on the estates Of
others as we'll as on untransferred grounds;
as this is a great loss to the Honorable
Company which itself may have use for
the trees, a heavy fine will in future be
, 1874-01-28

trees except on their own estates and Tor
their own USE" Similar regulations were
passed in the years 1875 and 1742.
Oldendorph describing the island in the
year 1867 says " The year is divided into
the dry season and the rainy season. The
dry season begins generally in the month
of December and lasts to the month of
May, yet so, that it rains now and then in
the months of December and January.
The rainy season is divided in the great,
and the little rainy season the first from
the month of May to the end Of June the
last from the month of July t" the end of
November; it does not rain continually,
but often and heavily, almost every day
once, but merely for some hours; the rain
seldom continuing for half a day and still
more seldom for a whole day. 1t has been
observed, he says, that the excessive heat
has decreased since the cutting down Of
the thick bushes, with which the whole
island was covered. The nights through
out the wear are damp and cool and some
times even chilly. The air is always very
moist iron gets soon rusty and even silver
Iooses some Of its brightness Every
thing that can become mouldy, becomes
50 IN a very short time partly on account
OF the cyaporatIons OF the sea, but mostly
owing to the great eVapofatlons OF the
earth itself"
Ii we now consider, on the one side the
present great scarcity OF trees nearly
throughout the island and on the other
side the lndIsputabIe influence OF trees III
modifying both thu temperature and mois-
ture OF the atmosphere, 1t seems not un-
likely, that the present scarcity of trees is
the principal, or at least an influential,
cause OF the continual drou8hts under
which the island has suffered SO often dur
ing the present century We would there
tore strongly recommend that the present
favorable season should be used for extend
ing the cultivation OF trees III general, and
u5eiul ones III particular, on the hills as
well as on the barren and now unproduc-
tive soils
The total destruction OF herbaceous
pIonts N dense forests enables US to know,
that where we wish the grass or other
heritage under trees to thrive we must
plant thlnIy; and the Intinence from the
decay OF leaves branches and trees IN add
ing to tha SOIL teaches us how barren soil

the subject, and as his statements may
therefore be fully relied on, there is but
little room for doubt, that the day Will
sooner or later arrive, when these antici-
pations will be realised. What neXt2
What Denmark can do, the rest Of Europe,
with few exceptions, will do, or is dong.
And can we expect that the enterprlslng
Americans will be much slower than
Europeans in discovering the gold in the
beet Z Wherr then shall we find a market
for the profitable disposal of our cane
sugar, unless we succeed in producing an ar
ticle absolutely so much better and 50 much
cheaper than the beet sugar, that this lat"
ter cannot sell proftabIy At present 1t
is all the other way. They of the tempe
rate ATTITUDES can, under present clrcum-
stances, having called to their aid oil the
appliances which modern science and art
have furnished, more than compete with
us of the tropical, in the sugar market
WHY then are we so obstinate Why not
abandon the cultivation of the everlasting
cane Simply because we cannot do better
there is no alternative left us. Cotton,
while commanding the exceptionally high
prices during 1.-THE rebellion" had to be
abandoned Immediately after the prices
fell, its cultivation having been found I'M
profitable Coffee cannot grow without
shade and moisture, for which no provi-
sion has been made neither in one way nor
an other. Tree planting is indeed unGer con-
temptation, and a draft for the promoting
thereof is, if we are rightly informed, be-
ing prepared, which we hope to see soon
passed and become law, and then, what IS
far from being the ruIe-the law enforced.
This measure is highly laudatory, and we
have hitherto advocated it and shall never
cease to do so, But the advantages to be
derived therefrom, are not calculated to
affect the immediate future, but rather to
have a more distant, though not less I'M
portant, object in view. What then can
be done now7 Will the establishment OF
Central Factories, and consequent improve
ment of our present staple, 50 far enhance
the value Of this as to enable US to equal,
or rise above, the empowering competl-
ton we have alluded to We have the
best hope that it will, and have therefore
followed the recent development OF his
question with the greatest interest.
, 1874-01-28

Relative to Central Factories and Their
establishment in this island, it is well I'M
derstood, the question having been often
ventilated both in council and outside,
that the necessary capital for tins
purpose cannot he raised In the island I'M
der the present depressed circumstances.
Some time last year 1t was 'under CON
temptation" by several gentlemen here,
both planters and others, to take a trip to
GuadaIoupo and Martinique, where such
factories have been very successfully work
irgfor some time, and where, consequently
ali necessary information can be obtained,
and from where, as it was hoped, a conn.,
petent individual might have been induced
to come to this island to make enquiries
and to find out for himself what could be
done. The subject, however, never passed
the contemplatIve stage, and the h0nor'
which would have accrued to the parties
who might have succeeded in starting
an industrial enterprise Of so great lmpor-
lance, was thereby lost to them.
The next stage the matter entered on,
is one truly characteristic OF our people
and their want of the spirit of enterprise,
the b anne attaching to which can only be
somewhat extenuated, as it has already
been, by due consideration of the depress-
mo influence of two successive poor crops,
threatening to be followed by a third. Gov
eminent was p~titioned to take the matter
in hand, in the manner which has been laid
before our readers in these columns. Now,
although we do not think it could be in
better hands, Governor Garde being, as
far as we can learn, exceedingly anxious
70 have these Factories established here,
and being also. we have good authority tor
saving so, more versed in such matters
+ban most Governors can be expected to
no still we do not consider the principle
correct, that the citizens do not endeayour
10 do for themselves that which can, IN no
be considered as an object tor govern

son went out to New York Canyon to
examine the remains found by one of
Pritchard's herders ON Thursday last.
At the spot indicated by the boy the
officers found fragments of human
skeleton partially enwrapped in a white
shirt, wooden coat aud guuny sack.
The bones were discovered lying in q
small prospect hole, and had evidently
been there some time. With the excep.
ton Of the skull. which was brought
into town, the remains were buried near
by. The skull appeared to be that of u
young person, aud the formation of the
frontal bone, parietals and occipital indi-
eating it to be that OF white person.
The finding of the remains is variously
accounted Tor, the general belief being
that it was buried there by q number OF
Spaniards who used to be encamped on
the bluff under the ridge. Unless the
body was deposited in such place after
dying of contagious disease. the proba-
bilities are that there has been foul play
but il such is the case, the length of
time elapsed precludes the possibility OF
working up the mystery. Eureka Sen.

SHERIFF SULLIVAN received informa.
ton last night of the discovery OF the
remains of man in q prospect hole
somewhere along New York Canyon.
The discovery was made by "a boy who is
engaged in herding horses for Pritchard.
The boy says he could distinguish the
limbs aud some of the clothing, though
considerable dirt had either been placed
on the boy or caved from the sides Of the
shaft. He did not attempt to disturb
the remains, as he had no one to assist
him. Eureka Sentinel, 9Th.
