THE VALUE OF TREEs.

Peter Kahn, Swedish boa,anist, at the sug-
aestion OF Linn2us, in lS45, was sent by the
Swedish government to make botanical tour
through North America. In his voluninous
report he incidentally states that, latter the
great destruction made among the blackbirds
Tor bounty Of THREE pence dozen, the nor
them colonies in lS49 experienced ; complete
loss of grass and grain, which were devoured
by insecz."
There is the explanation Of the grass.

consequently no insectiverous birds !;
consequently nothing to check the in.

OMAHA, April 13..--Six companies Of
cavalry and two Of infantry have been
ordered from the railroad to the base Of
the Black Hills, as an escort to Mr..
Janney. the government geologist, whe
will make survey Of that country. He
expects to leave Fl. Laramie on the 18th.
The government is promptly appraised
Of the many expeditions and is prepared
for them.
Letters from Red Cloud agency show
that the Indians are fully aware of all
that is being done in the matter,
and are much excited over
it. The head soldiers, who are really
more powerful than the chiefs, are favor
ably inclined to disposiny Of the country
lying between the two Cheyenne Rivers,
for good. round consideration.
In event of its purchase the head soldiers
will insist that the reservation be moved
to the head Of Tongue River,
at the base of the Big
Horn mountain. The Indians are
exceedingly anxious that large number
Of their head chiefs and soldiers should

THE WHEAT DEFICIENCY.

The receipts Of wheat at Chicago, between
August, 1878, and March, 1874, were 25,7l7.-
936 bushels, and from August. 1874, to the
present mouth, l6, 5l5, e60, falling off of over
8 zoe, 100 bushels. The receipts at Milwaukee
for the same periods show deficiency of
$50, 546.- Exchange.
Here is deficiency Of nearly $4,000.
0G0 bushels. And yet the world was
made to believe that we were literally
overfowing with wheat! How sadly the
clears" have robbed the farmers of the
fruits of their industry.

Grange Reforms.
kansas Farmer.1

We had hoped to see a simplificat ton
of the ritual, the reduction of the dis.
pensation fee to SIS and membership fee
to 50, the abolition of all degrees beyond
the fourth, and making eligible to any po-
sition in the Grange all fourth degree
members. We yet hope to see these re-
forms, without special degrees or privi-
leses being conferred upon any member
who happens to he selected for master.
Throughout the Vest the membership does
not run SO much to ritualism as to bust.
ness. The perpetuity of the Order does
not depend upon increasing the cere-
monies and degrees, but upon practically
demonstrating the utility Of the organi-
cation by developing its b,,siness feature,
its educational and social claims. We
believe the imperative duty of those who
are called upon to fill the Offices of the
Grange. whether State or subordinate, to
address themselves more thoroughly than
heretofore to the practical work for
which the organization was created.

It will not do for our friends of the
Grange to be over-sensitive or intolerant

principles and teachings Of the ritual are
ignored by them, or at least not under
stood and practiced.
Resolutions of Capital Grange, Topeka, Kan
Any fourth degree member should be
eligible to any position in the Order.
All privileges and rights now belonging
to masters and past.masters should bt
abolished.
All work in the subordinate grange.

In speaking of protection, this is how
it works. Suppose with the proceeds of
the sales Of pork and cotton, wheat and
tobacco, the farmer and planter under
takes to purchase such supplies as may
be needed for their domestic uses. Esti-
mating that each has to spend $1,000 in
iron ware, cotton goods. carpets. blank
cts, clothing. millinery. boots and shoes,
harness, tools, paints, glass, and crockery-
ware, they find that their money must be
apportioned between goods and bounty
to the protected class somewhat after the
following fashion,:
The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-04-15

As the past winter has been severe

wheat the crops IN this section will be al-
most failure. many fields that were
sowed in wheat last fall viii be re-plo,sed

THE RETURN OF THE BIRDS.

hear rom many little throat,
A MARBLE, interrupted long;
l hear the robins flute like note,
The blue birds slenderer song.
Brown meadows and the russell hill,
Not yet the haunt of grazing herds,
And thickets by the glimmering rill,
Are all alive with birds.
o choir of spring Why come so soon
On leatless grove and hel dless lawn!
Warm lie the yellow beams of noon,
Yet winter is not gone.
For frost shall sheet the pools again;
Again the clustering East shall blow,
Whirl TIE white tempests through the glen
And load the pines with snow
Stay, for tint of green 81 all creep
Soon DER the orchards grassy floor;
And from its bed the crocus peep
Beside the housewives door.

Hoodiums.

The romantic ideas of hoodlum
are drawn from books describing high
waymen and his beau-ideal of romance
is life of stealing. His idea of home
is having the entree of den of infa-
my. and excelsior is reached when he
is the acknowledged attache of no.
torious woman. His arguments are
the knife, pistol and bludgeon, and
their logic is very dangerous. Firmly
impressed with these ideas, a boy a
few days ago stole quite sum of
money. He spent part of it in riotous
living and, with the remainder, was
going, with companion. to join Cha
vez, who, he, says, has agents in this
city. His crime was discovered, he
acknowledged the deed, made restitu-
ton, and it is hoped will lead a bet
ter life. Such an incident as
this shows that parents must
watch carefully and see that their sons
do not get their education on the
streets. The police can aid them in
the work. Minors must not be al
lowed to loaf during the day; night
mobs must be dispersed, and when
these boys frequent saloons, gambling
houses aud dens of iniquity they must
invariably be arrested. We have an
active City Marshal, and we believe he
will gladly try to end the reign Of
hOodlumism in Los Angeles.

He has q tall like scimeter's edge,
A marshal's plume on his afghan neck,
An admiralis stride on his quar-. deck
He rules the roost and walks the bay
With q dread cold and q Turkish way,
Two broadsides fires with his rapid wings
This Sultan proud, of a line OF kings
One gutteral laugh, four blasts of horn,
Five rusty syilables rouse the morn!
The Saxon lambs In their woolen tabs
Are playing school with their a, b. abs;
f, ell 1, OF All the cattle spell
Till they make the blatant vowels tell,
And half-laugh whlnny fills the stalls
When down in the rack the clover falls.
A dove Is waltzing around his mate,
Twochevions Llack on his wings of late,
And shows Off with a wooing note
The satin shine OF his golden throat.
1t is Ovld's cart of Love" retold
In a binding fine of blue and gold!
All, the buxom girls that helped the boys,
The nobler Helens of humb bier Troys-
AS they stripped the husk with rustling fold
From eight-rowed corn as yellow as gold,
By the candle light In pumpkin bowls.
And the CLEANS that showed fantastic holes
In the quaint old lanterns tatt0oed tin,
From the hermit glim set up within;
By the rarer light In girlish eyes
AS dark as wells or as blue as skies.
| hear the laugh when the ear is red,
] see the blush with the forfeit paid;
The cedar cakes with the ancient twist,
The cider cups that the girls have kissed,
And see the fiddler through the dusk
AS he twangs the ghost of Money Muskw
The boys and girls In double row
Wait face to face till The magic bow
Shall whip the tune from the violin,
And the merry pulse of the feet begin.

Reprleved.

All was ready yesterday afternoon
for the execution of Belisario Alipas.
But it was expected some response
would be made by Governor Pacheco,
to the request that had been forward
ed, suggesting that this was a casd in
which the exercise of Clemency would
not be misplaced; the truth being that
the really guilty man, Cueyo, has so
far escaped sentence on account of real
or simulated insanity leaving only the
boy Aljpas, his tool in the murder, to
suffer the penalty of the law. Those
who had been invited by the Sheriff to
be present had long assembled; Alipas
had been fully prepared by Father
Ubach to meet his fate, and had shaken
hands with all; the Sheriff was pre-
pairing to lead him out to the gallows,
when the following telegraphic dis
patch was received;
SACRAMENTO, July I'd.
To N. H,u,saker, Sheriff:
Reprieve granted to Felisario Alipas
for GU days. II. PACHECo,
Governor.
The poor fellow was very much af-
fected when this intelligence was
communicated to him, and indeed
there was general feeling of relief on
the part of all present. The feeling is
general that Cueyo should be execut-
ed, while Alipas should be sent to the
Penitentiary for life.-San Diego I'm
