Preserve the Forests.

In the matter Of tie preservation Of primeyal
forests the state Of New York is particularly inter-
ested. At the health congress at Baltimore, DIR.
Franklin b. Hough Of Lewis county, read a paper
upon this subject. To view Of the proposed preser-
walton Of the Adirondack mountains, the suggestions
and arguments Of his paper are interesting. He
commenced by examining the customs Of pagan
days, their beliefs and practices with regard to trees
and groves. He demonstrated, with probability
that the worship Of Pan, Of the Dryades and Hama
dryades was simply a poetic envelope by which the
reasoDers Of the old times protected a sound sanitary
system from the i%rruptions Of individual ayarice
The ancients who undertook to free certain plains
and fertile valleys from poisonous miasms by tunnel
ing through hills and changing the courses Of rivers
seem to have been perfectly well aware Of the part
played by forests in the equalization Of temperatures.
Trees do more; they assist in Warding Of malarious
fevers, either mechanically by arresting the fever
spores in the atmosphere, or chemically by absorbing
them in some manner not yet ascertained by science.
Probably the most essential service trees DO for man
is the absorption Of carbon from the atmosphere and
then 10 its stead furnishing the richest Of oxygen
the one, carbOnic acid gas, being the life Of yegeta-
ton and the death Of animal life, aud the other,
oxygen, being the death Of vegetation and the life
Of animals. This service Is a vital one. and no other
argument is needed to establish the Importance Of
equalising the areas Of forests and plains.

SATURDAY. JANUARY l.
TO THE PATRONS OF THIS JOURNAL

With the present issue, the undersigned takes
lea7e of the public as publisher and proprietor Of
the Pacific COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER, having this
day sold the entire establishment, consisting Of
the newspaper, type, material, job Office, and the
good will Of the same, TO Mr.. II. L. Sheldon.
The reasons which have prompted this step on
the part Of the undersigned are purely of q pri-
waite and personal nature. and need not therefore
be spoken Of, He may, however, be excused for
referring with some degree of pride and s~atisfac-
ton to the fact that since this journal came into
the hands of himself and his late partner, less
than five years ago, its career rs a business con-
Germ has been a success, its circulation and pat
ronage have largely increased, and its influence,
it is believed, has been beneficial to the best in
terests of the country at large. While sincerely
thanking the public for the very liberal patronage
which enables him to say this, the undersigned
begs to confidently recommend his successor to a
continuance of the same. j. ii. BLACK. 7

Tho Emperor Williams reception In Italy was a
Triumphant success. At Milan be was treated 10 a
review, an illumination, a court dinner, and an
opera. The lighting up Of the Duomo In said 20
have been magnificent. and the court dinner was a
very splendid affair. The entire dinner was served
on silver, the fruit on SevreA porcelain, while ths
wine-glasses combined the German and Italian
cOlOrs.
More trouble regarding GulbOrd's bones. The
cure Of the parish Of NOtre Dame, NJ. R0usselot
has given public notice that the grave Of Gulbord
was dug over the coffin Of bis late widow and has
only the depth Of two feet and a few inches, and Ia
consequence the grave has not the depth required
by law. What action will be taken thereon the
cure does not state.
Il II remarkable how few are those who rldlcule

even has a good word for him, as follows This

Tbomaston, Conn, IL the latest place 10 calm the
possession Of Charley Ross. The lad IL said 70
have been seen with a woman, and n detective en-
piOyed by Mr. Ross telegraphed that gentleman on
the 18th that the lad was Charley beyond a doubt.
since then we have no Information excepting that
the woman is missing but will undoubtedly be
found. Superintendent Walling OF New York IL
confident that Charley Is living, and told a World
reporter on Thursday that be should not be sur.
prised that the child mentioned was the identical
one wanted.
One would suppose that the " third-term " scare
had been paraded sufficiently. But the Republi-
can successes have revived the threadbare topic,
aud Democratic papers are sounding an alarm
again. However, Gen. Grant il not going TO pro-
claim himself perpetual President, neither IL he
going 10 name bis successor without giving zoe
people a chance TO have a voice ia the matter.

A snake has at last been found I'm Ireland, and
much excited speculation is INDUCED as 10 how
the reptile came upon the Island. A gardener In
Baltinglass, Wicklow county, discovered the snake
on his premises and killed IL. II measured GIVE
feet In length. was black on the back, and yellow
underneath. IL appears on investigation that a
gentleman brought two snakes from India 10 Bal
linrodan, both Of which escaped six or seven years
ago. One Of these was destroyed by a pig, but
the other was never found. II is considered prob
able that the snake recently killed at Baltlnglass
is identical with the one which escaped from hia
custodian at Ballinrodan.

FOwler's Steam Cultivating Tackle.

On Thursday last The d" Baby engine set Of
steam cultivating tackle, recently brought out by
Messrs John Fowler and Co. Leeds, and specially
designed for Scotland, was tried in presence Of a
large number Of agriculmrisls on the farm Of
Newark, near Ayr. The trial took place under
the auspices Of the Ayrshire Agricultural Associa-
ton. at whose annual show the previous day the
new set attracted much attention. The Geld on
which the trial took place was on the slope Of
Newark Hill, adjoining Newark policies. The Sial,
which was not exceedingly heayy-indeed, might
be called medium--was in course of preparation

The REcAPITULATIoN, in the closing paragraphs of
President Grants message to Congress is a striking
grouping together of interesting and important
topics. His calm and thoughtful words remind US
of Washington's Farewell message, and they will
find an echo il the hearts Of the people:
AS this will be the last annual message which I
shall have the honor of transmitting to Congress
before my successor is chosen. I will repeat or re-
capitulate the questions which I deem of vital i'm
portance to be legislated upon and settled at this
session:
First-That the States be required to afford the
opportunity of good common school education to
every child within their limits.
Second That no religious tenets shall ever be
taught in any school supported in whole or in part
by the State, nation or by the proceeds Of any tax
levied upon any community; make education CON-
pulsory so far as to deprive all persons who cannot
read and write from becoming voters after the year
1890, DISTINGUISHING none, however, on the ground
Of illiteracy who may be voters at the time this
amendment takes effect.
Third-Declare the church and State forever sep
arate and distinct, but each free within their proper
spheres, and that all church property shall bear its
own proportion Of taxation.
Fourth-Drive out licensed immortality, such as
~polygamy and the importation of women for illegiti-
mate purposes. To recur again to the Centennial
year it would seem as though now, as we are about
10 begin the second century Of our national existence,
would be a most fitting time for these reforms.
~Fifth-Enact such laws as will insure q speedy
return TO sound currency, such as will command the
respect Of the world.
Believing that these views will commend them
selves 10 the great majority Of the right-thinking
patriotic citizens Of the United States, | submit the
rest to Congress.

SOME Of our readers will remembe the name OF
the Rev. T. VI. Dawson, who visited the islands re-
Gently and returned to San Francisco (under some.
what peculiar circumstances) on the October
steamer. Papers received by the last mail state
that be has commenced an action against VIM. A.
Scott and others, constituting the Prysbytery OF
San Francisco, in the Nineteenth District Court.
After reciting the rules AMI regulations Of the
Presbyterian Church, in the United States, the
complaint ayers that on the 9th Of August, 1875,
the resignation Of the plaintiff as minister OF the
Presbyterian Church, in Oakland, was accepted
by the Presbytery Of san Francisco, but that, not
withstanding that he had ceased 10 be a minister
connected with the Presbytery Of San Francisco
(Which included the defendants), that body received
and entertained a report against the plaintiff, in
the name Of Common Fame, and cited him TO APP
pear before them for trial. That he refused to ap
pear in answer 10 their summons, aud a second
citation was issued. The charges against the rev
erend gentleman, the complaint AYERS were dishon-
esty and immoral practices, etc. The plalntin AYERS
that these charges are wholly base and false and
intended to injure bis character and defame him
before his fellow Presbyterians in the United States.
The complaint prays that pendeQte lite the defen-
dants be restrained from conducting any trial or
examination into the conduct Of the plaintiff or
from censuring him, and that the Presbytery be
directed to annul and dissolve all proceedings
heretofore taken in the case, and that all notice
thereof be expunged from the records.

Carl Schurz writes from New York to a western
paper: Strange as it may seem, We have reason
to conclude, from news which reaches us from
various quarters, that the idea Of leaving out of
the next Democratic national platform all reference
to the financial question Is gaining favor among
even that class of Democrats from whom we had
expected something better. But these gentlemen
shonld remember one fact, there is no such thing
as smothering the financial question"

Big Misunderstanding to the San Francisco
papers some Of the bowheads taken in the Arctic the
past season were very large, with very heavy bone,
resembling in these respects the whales of twenty
five years ago in the same ocean. One whale made
284 barrels of oil. and two others made $40 barrels.
The catch of the fleet averages about 1850 barrels to
each vessel.

the Kuokoa and Ra Lakui Haloaii, are having
leading articles on the subject of the approaching
elections for Representatives (Which take place
throughout the Kingdom on Monday. February y.
Both papers are urging, editorially and through
correspondents, the Importance, on many grounds,
of choosing a proportion of foreign born subjects to
the next Legislature.
KAHooLLwE.-The Lahui Hauaii of this week
has an interesting account Of the recent visit to this
island by His Majesty and suite. 1t is estimated
that the island contains about 10000 acres. There
are now upon it. 20. 900 sheep, 10 horses, under
charge of two foreigners, who with their wives aud
children are the only human Inhabitants. The ISL
and is fit only for grazing purposes. and is held
under a lease to Judge Allen and others associated
with him.
SNAIL BUsINEss.-We were surprised to learn from
the Post-Master General that ii is not an unusual
thing to find letters dropped in the Office with stamps
that have been used once, aud an attempt made to
obliterate the defacing marks. On Thursday the
Postmaster General caught two persons-a native
man and woman-in the act Of mailing letters the
stamps on which were being used the second time.
They were promptly arrested and charged in the
Police Court yesterday morning under Section 408
of the Civil Code. Pleading guilty, they were fined
$40 each and ~costs-which it is to be hoped may
operate as q warning,
