A War Incident.

A soldier is fond of telling a strange
experience OF enc of the privates of his
company. The man was q soldier, who
was as green as q soldier well can be ;
he had never before been in action, nor
even heard shot fred in enmity. The
occasion was during the peninsular
campaign-at Williamsburg, 1 think
when this soldier was suddenly precipl-
tated into action. While loading and
firing In the most determined aud non
chalant way, he met with an experience
which is not at all uncommon to new
soldiers-he fred off his ramrod. Ad-
vancing with his detachment at the
close of the contest, and passing over
the ground which had been occupied
by the enemy, he found one of the lat
ter literally pinned to a tree with q
ramrod, stone dead. He always thought,
and with good reason, that this casualty
was caused by his own inadvertence in
making ammunition of his ramrod.

Trees and Their Uses.

1t is worth considering that while
in the thickly-wooded districts of the
South and Southwest there has been
prevalent during the past four months
marked excess of moisture, in the
prairie lands of the West there has
and still exists an unprecedented
drought.
The injury to property in Louisiana
by freshets is well known in Georgia
the rice crop has been flooded and
damaged to very great extent, while
in Ohio and other Western and North
western States there is not water
enough for the stock, which is conse-
quently prematurely marketed. Several
years ago the Hon. George P. Marsh,
at present United States Minister to
Italy, wrote earnestly. after much
thught and study, against the prevail
ing custom of destroying standing tim
Der without regard to its influence on
climate and soil, and especially on the
character and extent of the rain fall.
Latterly the subject has been frequent
ly considered by scientists. as we'll as
by political economists, who see in the
merciless destruction of our forests a
possible danger to the sustenance of
the race. Due consideration of the
causes which have brought about the
abnormal conditions to which we have
referred might, with great show of
reason, attribute these to the habit of
promiscuous and reckless woodchop-
ping. At all events. the subject is suf-
ticiently important, and the indications
are clear enough to render it desirable
that men of science-capable of just
and wide generalization even from
isolated cases-should investigate and
report on a matter which may be
fraught with great importance to our
vast agricultural interests.

THE ELOOD-TIDE LOST.

The State of Massachusetts has already lost
a great opportunity. 1t was not unreasonable
to expect that at a time when all there was
thoughtful or conscientious in mems minds
was stirred to the lowest depths by the two
concurrent events of SimmOns's appointment
and Summers death, the Legislature might
rise for moment above the beggarly wranglings
of mere partlsanship and elect with some ap
proach to unanimity Senator who should be
universally recognized as worthy successor
to such leaders as Webster and Sumner. There
were many good reasons for believing this
might be done. Two stunning blows had
lust been struck at the very principle
of partlsanship. When Simmons was
appointed the decent portion of the press
of Massachusetts, uttered only one voics of
condemnation of the act and of the sordid
partnership which accomplished 1T. When
Sumner died, the unanimous expressions OF
grief and sorrow from even those quarters
where the blameless statesman had received
nothing of late years but bitter malice and
injustice, ought to have been enough to con-
vince all thinking people of the infinite
superiority of character to mere party loyalty.
For one week the press of Massachusetts, and
its public men saw and denounced the vulgar
and degrading tendencies of the present Ad-
minstration. For another week they saw and
extolled the worth and the dignity of life
which was nobly independent of the caucus
or its works. There was nothing, therefore,
romantic or Quixotic in the hope that the
| State might embrace the great opportunity
open to it, and send Senator to Washington
who should represent what was best in the
Commonwealth, and who had no SAVIOR OF
4 trickery or trade about him. III.
But reasonable ~ the hope was. it has no

been fulfilled. The three leading factions into
which the State is divided Immediately went
into council; each selected its candidate, and
has adhered to him thus far with the selfish
and greedy persistency of the worst days OF
politics. 1t is not our purpose just now to dis
cuss the names they have presented. They are
better than the common run of candidates, all
of them. Any one of them, if sent to the Sem
ate, would appear in heroic proportions among
the brood of Flanagans and Logans which the
vulgarization of politics consequent upon the
war has placed in that Chamber. But the mo-
tive standing behind each candidate and III
spring the group which supports him,
is too grovcliDg and sordid to be
avOwed. The Dawes men are fighting for him
to give the State to Butler The HOar men
stand by him. to beat Butler but keep the
State for Grant. And the Curtis men cast
their votes solidly for him day after day to
persuade the world that the Democratic party
is not yet dead. If either of these three men
were now elected, could any one say he repre-
seRted the Commonwealth as much as his fac
tionf 1t is probable that not a member vot-
ing for Judge Curtis dreams of electing him.
His name is kept flying as an irreproachable
flag, to signify tnat Cnefe are seFchty -ioui
honest gentlemen on that side of the house,
who mean business when the time comes
But the votes cast for Dawes and Hoar are
cast seriously and they mean-that so many
members sustain Butler and Grant, and so
many more sustain Grant and wish he was
not 80 intimate with Butler.
This is the pitifdl result of all the brave
talk over Simmons, and all the tender and
remorseful talk over Sumner. week has
gone by in this game. the State and tho
country meanwhile watching to see. what
chance and cunning may do to break the
selfish and discreditable deadlock. 1t may yet
be broken in a way to do full though tardy
honor to the State. Mr.. Adams may yet be
elected by compromise in which nothing
would be sacrificed except greed and prejudice.
Some other reputable ISOLATION may be found,
if the Legislature grows tired or ashamed OF
it's scramble. But there is also the possibility
of result worse than any now indicated, and.
at all events, the State bas lost its chance OF
doing itself double honor by doing the right
thing promptly.

present ASPECTS OF THE TEMPERANCE
AI0YKMENI

The Temperance Crusade is no longer the
sensation of the day in the newspapers, but it
continues to appear O matter Of absorbing i'm
portance to the women engaged in it, and Of
practical interest to the men whose business
it 80 materially affects There is no evidence
that the women are weary in their well doing.
The number Of saloons closed has increased
from day to day until it now exceeds thou
sand, and we look in vain for an instance in
which the women after fairly beginning battle
have fled the field. Their faith is Of the kind
that is said to remove mountains. 1t hesi
tates not to attack the enemy whether
he be strongly intrenched in 5000
grog-shops as in Cincinnati, or supported by
an angry rabble as in Cleveland. An array of
superior numbers in opposition serves only to
call for more thorough organization and
greater perseverance on the part of the Cru
saders. Persecution arouses the spirit Of mar
tyrdom and elicts sympathy for the prosecuted
from unexpected quarters. A single victory
encourages q praying band to weeks of more
earnest and devoted prayer and labor. But
speedy victory does not seem necessary to
keep the fire of faith aglOw. Weeks may pass
without surrender, yet the women keep on
with o patience which enhsts the sympathy
of the most careless spectator and assures the
harassed liquor-dealer that, though the day
of his capitulation may be distant, it must in
evitably come.
There is one weak point. however, IN the line
of the advance. 1t is more and more apparent
that this mode of warfare cannot be successful
in large cities without notifications not yet
devised. In Dayton, where the work was begun
under favorable auspices month ago, only four
surrenders of saloon-keepers have taken place.
Weeks Of self-denying and persistent labor in
Columbus have brought forth disappointingly
small results. In Cincinnati, three or four, pos
sibly more, victories have been gained; but
this progress is wonderfully disproportionate to
the amount of work it has cost. In Worcester,
no triumphs of consequence are visible. Even
in Xcnia. where the most exciting scenes
Of the campaign were witnessed the predio-

Of these facts the candid friend OF Tenn

must admit that some new method must be
found to suppress intemperance az it exists in
cities. Until then the refOrmers must be
satisfied with the creation OF healthier
public sentiment on the subject which weighs
so heavily on their minds. They may not SEQ
the scenes Of Washington G.. H., Ripley. Mt.
Vernon, and Morrow repeated in Cincinnati
and New York, but their hearts may be
cheered by finding that even in the cities
drinking habits are becoming more unpopular
and dram-s selling more disreputable.
1t is curious to notice the different forms
which the Temperance movement assumes in
different localities. In Ohio the street marches
and saloon prayer meetings are the order Of
the day, and no other method of closing dram
shops is now regarded as orthodox. In Indiana
the efforts of the women are happily directed
to the enforcement of the hitherto ineffective
Baxter law. In Massachusetts, efforts arc
made to induce property holders to pledge
themselves not to allow liquor to be sold by
their tenants. The Rhode Island women wait
upon the Legislature to petition for the repeal
of the Liquor License law. 1t is recorded that in
Wilkesbarre, Penn, the crusade has the singu-
lar result of driving two hundred disreputable
women away from the city. The Washington
people are asking for Congressional pro-
hibitiOn. In New York and Brooklyn no ag-
gressive policy has been definitely agreed
upon, but good work is accomplished by the
frequent meetings, which call public attention
to the magnitude of the evil of drunkenness
and the warning voice of the Pulpit is raised
Sunday after Sunday with wholesome effect.
Whatever the method, and whatever may be
the exceptional excesses and indiscretions of
the reformers, they all have in view a noble
object, and we cannot withhold wish for
their success, in so far as it may promote
human happiness without infringement upon
individual rights.
New-York tribune., 1874-03-30
Why DEFEAT RAPID TRANSIT BY ASKING
TOO MUCHf

II is said at Albany that Mr.. Vanderbilts
Rapid Transit bill and that of the Third Ave-
nue. Railroad Company are certain to pass.
and that those behind them mean business.
The members of the Legislature evidently
think so. But the furry of last
week was ridiculous, and there is dan
ger that the superheated senstiveness Of
the Railroad Committee and the profusion
of epithets in the less respectable press may
divert public attention from the real point
of Importance. The objection should not lie
to the bills themselves, which aim at an end
we all ought to help, but only to their mad
missible features.
We believe that Mr.. Vanderbilt not only
can give us a rapid transit road quicker than
anybody else is likely to do, but that he is
really desirous of doing it. There are not 80
many of equal ability volunteering to give us
the lOng-needed boon, and MIR. Vanderbilt
may readily do the work in such way as TO
secure the lasting gratitude of the city with
which his name is identified.
But he is arousing needless hostility, and we
think we can venture to tell him that, In tho
form in which his bill now presents 1t, he can
never carry out his scheme. The PROPOSE
ton to intensity the present overcrowded
condition of Park-rOw and damage the val
liable property public and private, along its
entire length, by covering the network OF rail-
road tracks which now obstruct the street
with iron posts and rails propping
up two more roads in the air,
is utterly inadmissible. We can see no decent
excuse for the plan of utterly destroying Park
avenue by taking the horse railroad out Of the
tunnel and running it through the mar
row street on either side OF the
Park. We doubt whether the city will
not feel that it has already given Mr..
Vanderbilt sufficient assistance in paying half
the expense of his work in sinking his four
track line above Forty -second-st., without un-
dertaking to give him also all the public
parks and other city property which he may
care for and find in his way
We should heartily welcome Mr. Vanderbilt
az the undertaken of rapid-transit route;
but it is not possible for the city to consent
to terms like these, and it is not an act OF
business sagacity on the part of Mr.. Wander
bilts agents to demand them. The present
bill can be so modified as to receive the
hearty approval of the entire city. In Its
present form it will be fought at every step.
