How Soils AND FORESTS CHANGE.-It Is
matter of history that Cbarlemagne
hunted in the forest Of Gerardmen, then
consisting Of oak and beech, though now
the same forest contains only pines Of va
rious species On the Rhine, between
Landau and Kaiserslautern, oak forests
of several centuries old are gradually
giving way TO the beech, while others
of oak and beech are yielding their
ground to pine. In the Palatinate the
Scotch fir ipinus SylCestriS) Is also sue
ceeding the oak. In the Sura and in
the Tyrol the beech and the pine are
seen to succeed each other, and the
same alterations are witnessed in
many other districts. In all these cases
there is no exhaustion Of soil as In
the growth Of old pines in Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, and other
Southern States after oak. The rota-
ton OF natural plants without the
interference Of man is not explained by
assuming the consumption OF alkalies
by beech, oak and maple and their resti
tuition by pines, where all the leaves,
limbs, bodies and roots Of trees ROT
where they grow. This operation should
make the soil better for deciduous trees
the longer they draw mineral food from
moving water, and gaseous food from
moving atmosphere. Obviously there
is an element of local change of species
which is not understood

The San Francisco papers announce
that the Samoan Commercial and Land

by the United States Circuit Court In

President Grant has lost all his money

efforts to put him into third term with
the emoluments thereof. He is Bell

A BRILLIANT PLAN TO ESCAPE JAIL
LouisriHc, Ky, Dec. GA number OF
prisoners confined In the city jail here
made q desperate attempt to escape this
morning. Several negroes who were
confined In the rear part Of the build
ing had been committing depredationY
by breaking window glass, furniture.
etc. Last night several of them were
placed in u cell by themselves. About
4 O'Clock this morning loud cries were
heard, and the turnkey upon going to the
cell found that the rascals had set fire
to the mattresses on which they had
slept, with the evident purpose Of makk !
ing their escape by overpowering th0i
jail official when he should open the
door TO let them out. The bedding
burned rapidly, and ina few seconds the
cell WAS dense with smoke and flames,
almost suffocating those within. Theat-
tendant obtained assistance as soon as
possible, and rescued the negroes Some
of them were almost suffocated and
were unable to stand when rescued.

A statement Of our Washington cor.
respondent, Of the grants OF public
lands to railroads, shows that this poli-
cy of land subsidies had It's origin In
1850, when u grant Of 1855, ,O53 acres was
made TO the Illinois Central Railroad.
This was followed, in 1862, by the grant
OF 35,WO,WO acres to the several Pacific
roisds in 1866. Of t2,OOO.O0O acres to the
Atlantic and Pacific; l,7OOO, 900 acres
to the Atlantic and Denver City
Road; 1,203, 900 acres to the
Southern Branch Of the Union Pacific
Railroad; I,2OW,0 900 acres to the Oregon
Central road: 16,iOO,OOO acres to the
Texas Pacific road d7,OOO, 900 acres to
the Northern Pacific road, and 3.2OO.-
OO0 acres to the Oregon branch of the
Central Pacific road making a total
OF 100, ,29s,O00 acres of public land
granted to the roads mentioned, Our
correspondent gives, also, a record OF
the votes In the Senate on these grants.
In many cases there WAS no division !:
in those where the yeas and nays were
taken, the majority was generally
large. 1t will be observed that on the
initiation vote on the Illinois Central
Railroad grant, the Western and South
western Senators voted I'm favor of the
grant, the names OF Atchinson, Benton.

Napoleon, III.


In the Memoirs OF Odilon Barrot -
occurs this sketch of the Character Of
Napoleon I'LL:
"One Of the principal traits Of the
character OF this predestined parsonage.
who was fated to reconstruct the empir,s.
was the knowledge how to yield; that
was the quality which chiefly distin-
guished him from the first Napoleon,
and therein alone lay all his strenth.
To possess will as inflexible as fate
itself, to dread no initiative however
bold 1t might be, but at the same time
to know how to halt, to adjourn, TO
draw back without any embarrassment
either OF personal vanity or Of pride,
these are contradictory qualities which,
when they are. united in one per-
son, make Of that person an
exceptional being. These quafi-
ties, were maryelously appropriate
to the situation of Louis Napoleon, who.
having neither the genius of the flrst
Napoleon nor his victorious prestige.
was forced to obtain by dint OF cunning
and patience that which the other had
been able to bear away in lofty COM
bat F"
During the disorders of the 9th OF
February, Prince Jerome Bonaparte.
the father OF the present prince, came
to Madame Barrot and demanded the
loan OF her carriage, In which to show
himself to the people, declaring that
only o Bonaparte could calm the tumult
and disarln the insurrection. His. pro-
position was rejected as absurd, "nnd
yet, adds Odilon Barrot, "he was only
u little In advance Of the times"

The evidence given by Mt. Beecher
during the past week has called the at
ten.ion OF the public to the Increasing
growth Of the crime of perjury. Il has
been discussed in legal circles Tor some
time past, and several OF our most
eminent judges have been heard to re.
mark that the crime of perjury was fear
fully prevalent, and that hardly a day
passed in court without some instance
coming up where a witness had perjured
himself It is very plain to the ordinary
reader OF the testimony in the Beechey-
Tilton trial that perjury has been com.
mitted not by retail. but By Wholesale,
and when this memorable cause is
decided there will probably be q good
opportunity afforded to the bench tor

make light of one Of the greatest crimes
against their fellow man 1t is appalling
to read the evidence of Messrs Beeehen
Moulton and Tilton. and compare the

the most trivial and unimp0rtant poipts,
and, in most instances. are in direct
