Forest Culture.

1t is much to be regretted that this
important subject receives SO little at
tention. Worthy of thoughtful con-
81 liberation everywhere, it is most es-
pecially so with us here. From what
quarter is our wood to come, when that
in the mountains has been cut up or
wasted?-for about as much is wasted
as is hauled to the plains and used
Even supposing that after all the ac-
cessible wood in the mountain places
has been exhausted we could get along
by the miserable eXpedient of bring
ing lumber for manufacturing from
the North, and using coal &c. for fuel,
there are many other valuable adj
vantages to be lost by the absence Of
forests. They have an influence on
the salubrity and humidity of the
climate which seems incredible to
those who have not read the scienti-
fic investigations made as to their eff
fects by many distinguished scholars.
Prof. March, in particular, has made
many researches into their character
istics as the producers and conserva-
tors of rainfall.
In Egypt, as we are informed, the
sagacious Khedive has greatly increas-
ed the annual number of inches of
rain, by the planting out of trees all
over the land. Sir Walter Scott, in
" The Heart of Mid Lothian makes
the dying Dumbledykes say to his
son, "Jock, when you ha' nothing else
to do, we maun e'en be sticking in a
tree. 1t will be growing while you are
sleeping.p There is really nothing
which will pay better, and which costs
so little toll after planting. The rails
ing of Eucalyptus of Australian Gum
trees, for example, can be done at al
most no expense after the planting,
and will be of marvellous yield of tim
ber. The Black Locust is spoken of by
some even more highly than is the
Eucalyptus. The Lombardy Poplar
is also recommended for this purpose,
but the Locust, and we believe also
the Eucalyptus, having wood of suffi-
cient stamina for wagon timber and
such other uses, are perhaps prefer
able. 1t was law in Germany in the
earliest ages, that no man could marry
unless he had contributed enough to
the general interests as to have plant
ed a walnut tree, the law makers TAX
ing the very proper view of it, that he
who plants u tree does something for
the general, as we'll as private good.

or Conservative Republicans. Thus it
will be seen that both Legislative
branches of the present government
of France are Conservative Republic
an in tone. For the moderate politic-
al character of the majority which
now governs France much is due to
the conservative policy pursued by
GAMBETFA, who has laid aside his ex-
treme views and proven himself a
patriot and statesman. We may
also add that Frenehmen and French
societies in the United States and
other countries have done much in
spreading and strengthening the Con-
servative Republicanism which per-
vades the land of their birth. On the
Sth inst the French Societies of Cali
fornia will hold a Grai.d Mass Meet
ing in San Francisco for the purpose
of ratifying and rejoicing over the
success of Conservative Republican
ism at the late election in France.

A passenger just in from Arizona
called at the Stage office yesterday to
book for a seat in the Northern bound
stage, and left his baggage in charge
of the stage agent. 1t consisted of a
barley sack, not very well filled.
Shortly after the passenger had
stepped out to take a survey of the
town the stage agent thought he saw
the sack move. He:Npened it and
what was his horror to see that it con-
tanned Gila monster, specimen of
lizard about eighteen inches long,
and most hideous looking reptile.
Some one of the bystanders suggested
that he be hung up in one of our bar
rooms and labeled, "Whose boot did
this thing come out of?'
The County Board of Examination
was convened yesterday. County Sup
erintendent, Geo. II Peek, S. NJ. Quinn
of Anaheim, w. p. Mcdonald of
Downey, and r. B. Warren of Grange,
were present. There were six lady and
ten male applicants for teachers certi-
ficate. The examination to-day COM
pretended spelling, mental arith-
metic, practice of teaching and gram
mar. The sessions of the Board will
continue until Saturday.
Mr.. Potts, our County Clerk, has re-
ceived letter from Sydney P. Waite,
County Clerk of San Bernardino coun-
ty, advising him that the Board of
Supervisors of San Bernardino county
are willing to cooperate with the
same body of Los Angeles county in
defining and making the boundary
lines between Lost Angeles aud San
Bernardino counties, at such time as
may suit the convenience of our offi-
cials.
The fortunate event occurred about
o'clock yesterday morning, and it
made father of an afiable barber, Mr.
VIM. Newman, of the United States
Barber Shop. To say that Mr.. New
man is the happiest man outside the
gates of paradise would be making a
mild estimate. 1t is saddening
thought that the newcomer is girl
and will never make a barber like its
father; still it is very promising

We saw yesterday in front of Wells,

of the city. We were unable to learn
the breed, as friend Pridham says he
is not poultry sharp.

The Archer Bill.

The Express of this city is enthusi-
astic for the passage of ARCHER's
freights and fares bill, and easily ar
CUES itself into the belief that the en-
actment of such law will result BEN
eficially to the people of the State.
It's arguments on this, like its remarks
on almost all subjects, are made from
an unenlightened standpoint, and are
prompted not from conviction that
such a law is necessary, but because
it believes as Mr.. ARCHER does, that
the law will seriously injure the
Southern Pacific railroad, and on the
destruction of that corporation, ac.
cording to its views, depends the sue
cess of the Santa Monica road. We
have the assurance of railroad men
that if the ARCHER bill becomes a
law it will so reduce freights and fares
that many of the roads can only be
operated at heavy loss, and we hav e
strong reasons for believing that it
will cause cessation of railroad build
ing throughout the State and post
pone the closing of the gap in the
road between this city and San Fran
cisco for months and perhaps years.
If the law will do this it will also de-
crease the number of trains run over
the roads we now have, thereby re-
tarding improvement and otherwise
injuring our part of the State. The
animosity of our cotemporary toward
the Southern Pacific, and its zeal in
behalf Of Senator JONES, cannot hide
or remove these unpleasant facts. The
ARCHER bill is intended to avenge its
author for some fancied injury in.
ficted upon him by the railroad com.
pany, and if he accomplishes his pur.
pose he will throw the development
of Southern California back at least
half a decade.

On a Reef.

Advice received from Fort Town
send, w. IT,, under date of February
18th, state that the revenue cutter
Oliver Wolcott, while on cruise in
search of the missing steamer Urania,
in heavy gale and thick snow-storm,
ran into reef near Cape Nudge. The
staunchness of the vessel and the exer-
tions of those on board only saved all
hands from fate similar to that
which befell the passengers and crew
of the ill-fated steamer George S.
Wright, lost some years ago in the
same locality. The cutter remained
on the reef one hour-the sea breaking
clean over her-no land in sight. For
tunately, after tightening her Of coal
and battery, she slid off into deep
water, and returned to Port Townsend
to-day. The full extent of the damage
is not ascertained. No lives were lost.

Filming a WouId-be Suicide.

The Pail Mall GDzete tells OF a
young farmer at Hereford who was
charged before magistrate with be-
ing drunk and threatening to commit
suicide under the following romantic
circumstances: The defendant was
found by constable having, an alter
cation with his sweetheart, who, in
the warmth of the discussion, remarked
that she would not "have anything
more to do with him." Stung to mad
ness by the prospect of a blighted life
thus extended to him the young farm
er threw up the reins of his horse, gave
the young lady his money, watch, and
trinkets, and, bidding her touching
farewell, threatened to to throw HIM
self headlong into the river Lugg,
which conveniently ran close by. This
horrible threat was, happily, not car
ried into execution; for on hearing it
the heart of the young lady immediat-
ely melted, and, instead of walking off
with the money, watch and trinkets,
as some young ladies would have
done, she took charge of the horse and
led it and the impulsive young farmer
home in safety. The bench severely
admonished" the defendant and fined
him 10 shillings, and 13 shillings and
sixpence costs. The fact that the OBJ
ject of his affections pulled him back
by the coat-tails, when contemplating
leap from time into eternity, will,
however, do more than any fine or
magistrates admOnition to teach the
young farmer how sublime q thing it
is to "suffer and be strong"
