Forest Culture.

Among the new crops of this genera
tion may be mentioned the forest-trees
for shade, protection, and use. The folly
of denuding the earth of its best pro-
lection is shown in the recent floods
which have desolated the naked sides of
the Apprentices and Pyrenees. Had the
old forest growth been protected, in
stead of being swept off by the improv-
ident people, it would have served to
equalize the temperature, regulate the
humidity, and store up in the vast res
ervoirs beneath It's roots water for use in
time of need. Forests tend to prevent
both great floods and great drOughts.
American farmers are now learning
to plant trees, not only to temper the
extremes of heat and cold and serve Tor
wind belts, as on the western prairies,
but as a marketable commodity. The
favorite trees for planting seem to be
the ash, black walnut, elm, sugar-maple,
and cottonwood. Ten acres of ash
twelve years old are worth Sc, 900, or
$50 an acre, while the trimmings pay
for planting and cultivation. Ten acres
of black ash planted for hOOp-pOles,
four feet apart, will net So 500 in sever
years. An acre of honey lOcusts fifteen
years old is worth 81 900. Elm can be
mace equally profitable. It is to be
borne in mind, also, that our pine for
ests are being rapidly exhausted. They
are vigorously trying to renew them
selves, but the vandal axeman is a NOR
tai foe, and he is moving down the
heaviest woods of Maine, Pennsylvania,
New York, Michigan, and Minnesota
As this source of supply fails some other
must be opened, and it looks as if
much of the building and furniture
lumber of the next century would come
from our artificial forests.

Post Office Points.

The following late rulings by the
postoffice department in regard to mail
matter will be found of interest to
every one engaged IN mercantile pur-
suits
When packages of merchandise or
samples of merchandise are wrapped so
as to prevent examination, or have any
writing upon them except the address,
it is the duty of the postmaster to rate
them up with letter postage, to be col
Iected on delivery. Samples may be
marked IN pencil or iEk with letters or
figures by which they are to be dis
tinguished in a descriptive letter or IN
voice leach separately without subject
ing the package to letter postage.
An address may be written on CIR
cular, but any other writing thereon
except the mere correction of a typo
graphical error, would render 1t sub
ieet to letter postage.
1t is the duty of postmaster when

A MutiIated Stamp.

During the latter days of the session
of congress an old gentleman visited
Washington to arrange some matters in
relation to a patent. One day while
visiting the capitol, he made the ac-
quaintance of one of the employees, who
showed him much attention and de-
voted several hours to conducting him
through that stupendous edifice and
directing his attention to all its various
beauties and attractions. The old gen
tIeman was completely captivated by
the young man, and formed for him the
highest attachment. Congress ad-
iOurned, and the young man returned to
his home in Ohio but the old man re-
manned in the city few days and then
visited Baltimore. While there he was
taken i'll and Immediately hastened back
to Washington. Growing worse, he
resolved to make his will, and having
none but very distant and unknown
relatives, he determined to bestow his
wealth upon the young man for whom
he had formed SO great an attachment.
Desiring his presence, and having his
address, he wrote a few lines, giving
information of his health and request
ing a visit from him without delay, as
he had a gratifying surprise in store for
him.
The letter was inclosed and stamped
with postage stamp, the only one he
had, which was slightly torn in sepa-
rating it from the poeket-boOk, to which
it unfortunately adhered. An acquaint-
ance and daily visitor was employed TO
mail the letter, who called the attention
of the old gentleman to the rigid ad-
berence of the postal department to its
own rules in relation to mutilated
stamps; but he would not listen to the
suggestion, saying the stamp was genu-
inc, had not been used, and was good as
ever, and he would not waste its value.
The stamp was accordingly used, and
the letter duly mailed.
Now comes the sequel. The letter
was detained here for postage, solely on
account of the trifing mutilatiOn re-
ferred to, and the party to whom it was
addressed was, in about four days,
notified of the detention, which notice
was received six days from the date of
the mailing of the letter with the torn
stamp. The following day the young
man left his home, deeming the with
held letter of no consequence, without
even carrying the postOfice notice OF
paying any attention to it. Ten days
subsequently he arrived at Washington,
and then recurred to his memory the
uOt'u4Su lCOOoA3 anu No "AO'O AASA.tO ANA
I'll, postoffice notification. On its ar
'iva' he procured the letter, and in much
excl cement of mind hastened TO the
hotel of the old gentleman. Alas
when he arrived he learned that his IN
tended benefactOr had been dead four
days, and the old gentleman, not hear
ing from or receiving the wished-for
visit, had first felt hurt, then slighted,
and finally indignant, and in that frame
of mind had made will in favor of
poor old lady in his native state who had
once done him an act of kindness.
This was told him by the lawyer who
prepared the will, and was the party
that mailed the letter. The old gen
tleman's wealth amounted to S53, ,OOO.-

ENGLAND's NEW RIVAL.

Rapid Development Of Cotton Manufacture IN
India.
The manufacture of cotton is rapidly
increasing in British India, and as con-
siderable profits are realized, the ten
dency is toward continued investments
and the extension of this great INDUS
try. It is now manifest that Manches-
ter has lost its former control of the
eastern markets. In the single presi-
dency of Bombay there are twenty 6ve
cotton mills in full operation, working
800, 900 spindles and 1000 looms. The
spindles produce about 80, 900 pounds
of cotton thread day, of which about
1000 pounds are used to produce
cloth. These mills are chiefly In the
Bombay Island, where q new spinning
mill, Just opened by wealthy Hindoo,
and working $4,000 spindles, makes a
total of seventeen WORKING mills. Up
country there are several Others-One at
Surat, two at Broach, two at Ahmeda-
bad, one at Julgaum, one in the native
state of BhOwnugger, and one at Ma
dras. Extensions are also rapidly going
forward. Eight extensions are in course
of construction at Bombay, chiefly on
share capital, and these will provide at
least for the working of 10000 more
spindles and l. ,345 looms. The machine
~ is always of the very newest and most
approved construction, and no efforts
are spared on the part of the Indian
producers to enable their goods to com
pete uccessfully with the choicest pro
ducts of foreign manufacture United

Bismarck's Sons.

The two Bismarck boys are, perhaps,
the most vicious of their kind, and yet
in the towns where they have pIayed
their most scandalous pranks, they are
spoken of with a sort of admiring awe.
Count Herbert, who has been in during
his winter mission, has introduced more
than Prussian diplomacy into the by no
means grateful Bavarian court. There
is no end to the scandals circulated con-
cerning that young gentleman, the hun
dredth part of which would serve TO
Danish him from self-Tespecting COM
munities in any other country. His
Younger brother, Count John, is too
Young to conceal his eXcesses, and too
blunt, even if he were not. He Is of
the impression that his father holds
Germany in fee simple, and If that
doesn't give him the right to do as he
pleases, what can So he does as he
pleases, and he Pleases TO do exactly
what the world in general holds to be
low and very debasing. His haunts are
more notorious for democratic vicious
ness than aristOcratic seclusiOn. His
habitual state is not one to recommend
him to polite attention, and ii the face
is, as Mr.. Beecher searchingly says In
some of his characteristic analysis, an
index of mans ruling passions, Count
John would be about the person TO bring
on a Brooklyn witness. stand. Herbert
is rather fne-lOoking as his race go, but
John Ia dump, bleRr of eye, scorbutic of
vissage, and coarse of manner generally.
The pair give the prince, their father,
unceasing anxiety, not snly for their mo-
torious prohigacy, but for the difficulty
he finds in keeping them on terms with
their army and diplomatic associates.
He has been striving to marry Count
Herbert to a pretty countess of the
Protestant party, but I am told the
father refuses. The consent of the lady
is never asked in affairs of this kind
