q short.sighted economic policy is startling
indeed. The great Wisconsin forests are in
process of rapid destruction. No less than
l,O3O, 100000 feet of lumber were cut in tina,

1870 over 100000 acres Of forest land in
different states were cleared for the purpose
Of cultivation, the timber logged or burned
on the ground, and the land farmed and the
annual decrease OF forest by logging and
burning is still over 100000 acres, or twice
as much as the entire forest lands of Califor
MIA, while the annxal demolition for all pur
poses reaches the enormous figure OF 5000,
600 acres. Over against this, tree-planting
covers but 1000, 900 acres yearly; and at this
rate 1t is computed that the forests OF the
three great lumber states of the northwest
Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesata-willb be
exhausted in twenty years. 1t is also repre-
scented that rich abundance in game, as well
as timber. has led to corresponding rockies:
waste and evil results. Thus, in the North
west, thousands and thousands Of prairie
hens, sage-hens, snipe and many other kinds
of birds are shot at every season for no othel
purpose than the sport of killing them" ant
the ravages of the grasshoppers are largely
due 10 this wholesale destruction. Many
farmers whose crops were destroyed, and who
found themselves without meat, had wasted
frequently thousand pounds of buffalo tlesl

JARVIS AND THE FUsERAL.-There is 9

painter, to the effect that, walking down Broad

red cedar,box lie stepped immediately into
his wake" and whenever he met friend
(which was once in two or three minutes, for
the popular artist knew everybody, he would
beckon them with wink to fall into line"
behind. By and by, the man turned down
one of the cross streets, followed closely by
JARVIS and his tall Attracted by the meas.

abruptly, and, seeing the procession that fol-

eh! "Slr," exclaimed Jarvis, with an air
of profound respect, 1--WE saw you going to

you our sympathy, and TO follow your babe

broken manner, that the box contained only

interest which had been manifested in his
behalf, by breaking it open and dispensing
them very literally TO the mourners.-Scrsb-

MOney-Makfng Farmers.

We must have noticed in every community
of farmers some who make large crops, grow
the fine vegetables, but arc always poor and
in need of money. The reason Of this is that
they are poor hands at disposing of their pro
duce. A good farmer is not one who can
raise the stuff alone, but he must have sufic.
lent intelligence to know how to sell it when
he takes it to market Some are too keen,
and think they are doing smart thing by
putting all the large things at the top of the
measure and having an inferior quality be.
low The purchaser soon finds out these
men, and it ends in their always getting the
lowest market price, for people place no con.
fidence in them. Others again are easily led
away by any rev offer. No matter if they
have been dealing with good men, let new
agent start and way they go to HIM without
making the nee ssary inquiries as to his hon
esty aad capabiiity. This has been the case
with most Of "Hr Florida farmers, who have
been fearful, yictimized, but who will not
learn from ey ',rience.
Other farmers put UP the vegetables and
fruit in such = careless way that they do not
bring half the price they would if carefully
treated. We hive seen potatoes packed il
barrels, the hea; being 50 carelessly fastened
that it fell out Ivy mere rolling; their large
oranges packed in the same crate with the
small, etc. OF course the whole lot only
brings the price of the smallest variety Pur
chasers are tempted by the eye in u great
measure, and those goods are put up in the
neatest form always bring The most money
Some farmers give heavy prices for good
horses and cattle, but after purchasing take
no care to keep them in q proper manner
they are always buying and losing from care

City Bee Culture.

4 manufacturer or summer drink, which
seems TO be quite popular during the present
heated weather, has taken store in the
|neighborhood Of our Office, and placed in
the show-window beehive, in which, in full
view Of the crowd which constantly gathers
the busy insects make the honey which, it Is
asserted, is mingled with the cooling bever.
age. The window is open at the top, and the
bees are allowed to collect their materials
from the street refuse The honey seems to
be of excellent quality and the bees require
no further care nor attention than if foraglng
among their favorite clover fields.
At the fair of the American Institute last
fail very fine case Of honey was exhibited
the contents Of which, we were told, had been
obtained by the bees entirely from the swIll
barrels, the suenr-house waste, and the flow
ers in the pubic parks of the city. There
was nothing about the materialto distinguish
it from the best honey made from clover, and
it should and probably did find market
just as readily. The quantity OF such honey.
yield refuso wasted in the metropolis is enor-
nous Why then should it not be more
widely utilized through the bees? Private
agriculture can be carried on just rs well on
q housetop or in back yard as upon a farm,
and anyone with such space at his disposal
might easily manage few hives and build
up paying business, and it would afford
amusement to the experimenter and his
friends. There are many people out of the
thousand seeking work here just at present
to whom some such new occupatiOE-for
such bee culture would be- thus carried on in
the city-might be Of considerable assistance
in ekiDg out support during the stagna-
ton Of business peculiar to the heated term.
A contemporary suggests bee culture as an
excellent employment for women, an idea
with which we fully concur. A case is men
toned of lady who started with four hives
purchased for $40, and in five years she de-
clined to sell her stock for 81 800 1t not being
enough Besides realizing this increase on
her capital, she sold twenty-five hives and
436 pounds of honey. Another instance is on
record of man who with six colonies to
start with, in five years cleared 5000 pounds
of honey and fifty-four colonies. Fine honey
readily tetches, at retail, from twenty-five to
forty cents pound.-ScientJfc Americdn

WHISKY.

Whisky Is monopolist. You can't kill
a wretch that'sfull Of it. Whisky demands
the exclusive right to do this little Job in
its own peculiarly feIicitous manner. We
read that a drunken fellow fell out of a
wagon in DenisOn, Tuesday, and the wagon
and team went over him, aud only little
whisky was spilled by the pressure, and the
victim of whisky went on to that other
death which whisky invests with all the
sublimity Of supreme terror. The man
must 60 over the beaten track. There Is
no royal road to learning, and there is no
doubtful road defined by whisky to perdi-
ton. 1t is only from "tightness" of
youthful folly to "looseness of beastly
sottishness. The limbs are loose in their
sockets; the eyes watery, and roll about
greasiIy; the hair is harsh and stiff; the lips
flop senselessly. and filth oozes QUITE disgust
mankind, and leering stupidity laughs
when whisky gurgles down the blistered
throat Of the wretch who thinks his man
hood gone If he dare not drink. Thus
whisky ever degrading and ever humllia-
ting ever degrades the man by appealing to
this vanity. The only reform ever effected
is achieved when the sot or moderate gen.
tlemanly drinker-the incipient sot-dares
confess his cowardice and dares not
drink any fluid as beverage" Violate
this self imposed law and the thirst of hell
for damned souls is aroused and must be
So sure the woes of whisky's
victim, SO we'll defined the road he travels,
that while he recks not of it mankind pre-
diets his course and foTesees. his inevitable
doom. Once let him stagger beneath the
weight of whisky's fancies and nothing
but whisky or bullet fired or knife thrust
by the hand of whisky in some foul brawl
in some foul den of whisky, can put a pc
Rod to his life. Whisky always claims its
own and digs more graves than all the sex
tons of all the graveyards of all the towns
and cities of Texas.

RED RIVER AND RIO GRANDE
RAILROAD.

The bill Incorporating this road was en-
acted Saturday by the Senate's concurrence
with the House in its amendments, making
Sherman the initial point. The bill now
goes to the Governor for his signature. Be-
ginning at the present terminus of the Mis-
sour, Kansas and Texas road, at Denison,
the points named are Sherman, Whitesboro,
Gainesville, Fort Worth, Meridian, Bolton,
Georgetown and Austin, and the branches
are from Meridian to Eagle Pass ria San
Saba; from Gainesville to Montague
thence northwest to a junction with the
Atlantic and Pacific road. The present or
future owners of the road of which these
lines constitute the extension into Texas
and Mexico have not Numbered. They
have chosen the best routes in
Texas for profitable railway lines, and

of their constituencies il they fail to assure
the prosperity of Sherman and of the towns
above designated by making the Interna-
tional road tributary to the riches of these
towns and villages and counties. Sherman
now wants direct access not only to Aus
tin, but to San Antonio, Laredo and Mex
leo, and representatives of Sherman or of
the country about Sherman who would be-
tray the best interests of the people as
these are now changed and defined, need
only vote against the international Railway
subsidy bill to become wholly false to the
true interests of those who have honored
and trusted them. These are not paper
railways. There are seven hundred
miles of road north of Denison that
must be made to pay. Whoever owns these
roads, and Belmont is now of the number,
can only make them pay by means of their
extensions here defined. A glorious day is
dawning on Western Texas. If this road
and the International be securely founded,
will not Cuke's administration constitute
the grandest epoch in the progressive his
tory of Texan greatness?
