THE ~ASIIANTEES.
(From the London Timcs.)

The trading settlements on The Gold
Coast, which had been founded in the
seventeenth century, were, after the occur
renee OF a remarkable disaster, relinquish-
ed by the Government of the Duke of
Wellington in 1880. For some years af-
forwards they were administered, with the
assent of the Government, by a body of
merchants trading to the Coast, but a few
years ago they We're once more placed I'M
der the direct authority of the Colonial
Office. At a later period some of the Set
Elements were from, motives Of convent
ence exchanged with the Dutch, and, final
ly, in 1872 the Dutch possessions were
transferred by treaty to England, in con-
sideration of small money payment and of
a modification Of old. treaties which had
restricted the pretensions of the Dutch in
Sumatra. The arrangement has thus far
not proved advantageous to either of the
contracting parties. The Dutch have be-
come involved in a war with the Sultan of
Acheen, who is supported by the national
and religious enthusiasm of the Malays !;
and dispute about a stipend formerly al
lowed by the Dutch to the King of Asian
tee has led to a troublesome and unprofta-
bic contest between the English and the
most warlike nation of Western Africa.
The Ashantees had some time since over
run the Coast districts in the neighbour
hood OF Elmina and, either in conse-
quence of a misunderstanding as to the
tribute or in resentment to the demand
that they should evacuate the Protected
Territory, they attacked a handful of Eng
lish troops and marines, by whom they
were signally defeated. It would have
been easy by a small reinforcement of the
garrisons to make the English forts i'm
, 1874-01-24

pregnable to the enemy but as long as
the Ashantees held the open country with
out molestation, it was certain that all the
tribes in the neighbourhood would join
the stronger party. The English Govern
ment determined to despatch to the seat
OF war a force sufficient to penetrate, if ne
ceSsary, during the cooler season, to the
Ashantee capital and Sir Garnet Wolseley,
who had already distinguished himself in
difficult employments, was appointed, to
the command of the expedition, and ditec-
ted to proceed to the Gold Coast in adj
vance of his troops. During the two
months which have elapsed since his ar
rival, Sir Garnet Wolseley has, at the head
of small parties OF men, checked the Asian
tees ia several skirmishes, though in the
absence of his English troops he has beenun-
able to pursue his advantage. The troops
which left England in the beginning of De-
cember have by this time disembarked,
and it is hoped that the preparations which
have already been made will enable them
Immediately to march on ComaSsie. Capt.
Glover, who has much experience in the
management of the natives, has collected,
on the Volta, to the east of Sir WolseIey's
line of advance a force of the fierce Ma
homedan tribe of Hoossas, which will pro-
badly render valuable assistance. The
Fantees, who are the more immediate sub
.iects of the English Protectorate, are
found utterly useless for warlike purposes;
and their proved ineficiency will probably
influence the policy which will be adopted
after the conclusion Of the war. The cam
paign was, perhaps, inevitable, but among
the innumerabLe petty wars which have
occurred on the outskirts OF the empire no
enterprise has ever offered less prospects
Of profit, Of glory, or Of reasonable salts
faction.

several millions of olive-trees The very
soil was conveyed in baskets; but, with
care, the trees took root and thrived. It
is stated also that the conversion Of the
desert of Utah into a blooming country
has raised the Salt Lake seven feet above
its old level.
Such facts, collected from every country
facts of forest destruction and coincident
decline of water supply, with the further
fact that rivers are independent of national
lines-have suggested the wisdom of in
ternational action. The Austrian Minis
ter Of Agriculture was president of the con-
gress, and he was authorized to communi-
cate with other governments to secure
international agreement upon the subject.
The resolutions declare that only by such
international action can the increasing
devastation of the forests, with all its con-
seouences, be stayed that it is the mu-
tual duty of civilized states to preserve
carefully the forests that are of vital i'm
portance to the land, such as those at the
sources and along the courses of rivers,
upon ~sca-coasts and steep mountain sides !;
and that international principles should
be laid down, to which the owners of such
guardian forests should be sub ject The
congress recognized that it had not as yet
sufficient knowledge of all the evils result
ngfromt this devastation, and demanded more
copious and exact data. The importance of
the movement is that it commands atten-
ton to q subject which has hitherto had
no associated and imposing presentation.
In this country especially it should be
most carefully considered, because, while
SO much woodland remains, it is still de-
vastated with reckless ignorance. The
agricultural papers and the cattle show
orators could do no more signal service
than to point out the reality and the rea-
son and the extent Of the evil. The Agri-
cultural Department at Washington will,
we hope, think it worth some effort to
keep the Agricultural Community inform
ed Of the action consequent upon the con-
gress, in whose deliberations we see the
dawn of q better day for the trees and
the birds, those two faithful and useful
friends of the American farmer, which he
has too long disregarded.

WOOD AND WATER.
From Harper's Weekly, NOE. 30, 1879

|
One of the most interesting and valua-
bic Of recent events, is that of the
Congress of the land and forest Gull
tivators at Vienna. The Italian, Dutch,
German, Belgian, French, Hungarian, peo-
pie and governments were Represented,
and the United States had a deputy pre-
sent, who was probably self-appointed.
There were about 400 members, and the
chief point Of the discussions was the pre-
s%eyrati00 9fthe forests Us the protection at the
water supply. 1t is a subject in which this
country is not less interested than Europe.
Already in many parts of New England
there is serious decline in the supply of
water, and the ralae Of trees for something
else than lumber IS making ITSELF plainly FELT,
The volume OF water in The Ohio is stated in
the report OF the congress to be evidently d.
minishing. The same is true of the Hudson,
upon which the extent of navigable water
is yearly reduced. In the Cd World the
summer low water mark of the Elbe in
1887 showed q diminished supply in half
a century of 10 feet. The Rhine and the
Oder have likewise declined.
The facts presented. to the congress are
striking. Many rivers have entirely dis
. appeared, or are shrunien to little streams.
In Palestine the springs are dry. The
Jordan is 4 feet lower than in former DAYS.
Greece has suffered severely from the fall
OF the forests. In Hungary the drought
is periodical. Sardinia and Sicily have
lost their ancient fr~uitfulness. On the
other hand, there was formerly but 5 or 6
days Of rain during the year in the Delta
of Lower Egypt, but since Mehemet Ali
planted some 20 millions of trees, the
number of rainy days is forty-fve or six.
Ismalia, upon the Suez Canal, was built
upon a sandy desert, but since the ground
has been saturated with water, trees and
bushes and plants have grown, and with the
appearance OF vegetation the climate has
changed. Four or five years ago, says
the report, rain was unknown in these
regions, but in the year from May, 1868, to
May, 1869, there were II days of rain.
So, also, near Trieste, a finely wooded
region was desolated by the Venetians,
and 25 years ago rain had ceased to fall.
But. to save the country from total aban-
donment, the Austrian government planted
