DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.

RUMoRs REGARDING THE CoMAussIoNERsHIP.
The City Hall has been prolific OF all OF rumors
during the past few days. At time political up
heaval expected in the departments by the joint
ton Of Mayor Wickham and Governor Tden in the
matter of the removal Of Police and Fire
Commissioners Since charges have been pre-
ferred against those gentlemen the politicians
have been busily engaged in the circulation OF
those rumors. The HERALD reporter yesterday
Of those gentlemen in the vestbule Of the
Court House who possessed OF great secret,
which he unrolded with emphatic caution not to
''give away" the author. This consists in the
reported arrangement entered into between Mayor
wckham, Comptroller Green and several prominent
republicans TO send in the OF Mr. f. p Barker to
the Board OF Aldermen for confirmation in place OF
General Fitz John Porter AS Commissioner Of Public
Works. II tins statement is true peculiar deductions
may be drawn from so singular an appointment by
democratic Mayor Mr. Barker being a republican.
This gentleman was formerly deputy under Commls-
soner Van Wort and has had considerable experience
in the Department OF Public Works II Is stated that
he connected with Comptroller Green's Office when
that gentleman was one OF the Central Park Commis-
sioners The Committee Rumors have also lately
been busy with the that the entente cordidle Is
thoroughly restored between Mayor Wickham and
Comptroller Green A little outside byplay, however
kept up give the sembance Of continued quarrel
ling between these two functionares. Dock Commits
Wales late attack upon the Comptroller Is given
out as having been inspired by Mayor Wickham Thus
the whole matter may have been preconceried plan
10 prepare the public mind for the denouement about
come.
TIE MAYORS MESSAGE
Our energetic Committees Rumors have also got
hold OF facts relative to the Mayors coming
message II is alleged that the document Will contain
a strong argument in favor OF the abolition Of day labor
the public and the substitution therefor OF
the contract system This is another stride toward
republican policy by Mayor Wckham The republican
minority in the Board Of Aldermen have consistently
stood up against the law giving out work the day
labor plan At the last meeting or the Board however
several Of the democratic majority changed front and
voted with the republicans. They may have received
their lesson from Mr. Wickham.
This week must positively determine as to the Com
mssionershp OF Public Works. General POrters term
expires the Both Mayor Wickham Will give
the slightest inkng as 70 the name he intends TO send
In for confirmation TO the Board OF Aldermen.

men, then consisting of oak and beech,
though now the same forest contains only
pines of various species. On the Rhine,
between Landau and kaiscrslauttrn, oak
forests of several centuries old are grad

others of oak and beech are yielding their
ground to pine. In the Palatinatc the
Scotch firtpin"s syircStris) is also succeed
ing the oak In the Sura and in the
Tyrol the beech and the pine are seen to
succeed each other, and the same alter
nations are witnessed in many other dis
tricts. In all these eases there is no
cxhaustion of soil rs i'll the growth of old
field pines il Virginia, North Carolina
and other southern states after oak. The
rotation OF natural plants without the
interference OF man is not explained by
assuming the consumption Of alkalics by
beech, oak and maple and their rcsti-
tuition by pines, whore Ill the leaves,
limbs, bodies and roots of trees rot where,
they grow. This operation should make
the sol! better for dcciduous trees the
longer they draw mineral food from
moving water, and gaseous food from
moving atmosphere. Obviously there is
