The Catalpa as a Timber Tree.

In regard to the catalpa, says the
Germantown Telegraph, there seems TO
be no doubt that, while it is one of the
most rapid-growing trees we have, it is
also one of the most durable of woods.
We have seen figures which we have no
reason to doubt are correct; and the
writer has recently seen post taken
up after eight years of service that was
as good as the day it was first set.
Eight years is of course no very great
period for a post to last, but from all
appearance there is no reason why il
should not endure at least three times
what it has stood: and quarter of a
century is tolerably good for afence
post. The trouble with the catalpa is
that the terminal bud does not ripen
when young, and so gets killed in our
winter. The bud below, pushing, makes
a crooked stem, and In this way the
trunk of the mature tree is not as
straight as is desirable in satisfactory
timber tree. To remedy this the trees
are suffered to grow as they will for a
couple of years, until the roots get
strong. They are then cut to the ground
when smooth straight shoot goes up
ten feet high in one season, generally
maturing its bud, and laying the foun-
dation OF pretty trunk. Such stem
is generally two inches thick; aud as in
any fair ground it will increase at the
rate of an inch a year, we have in three
or four years after trunk five or six
inches thick-qpite thick enough for
many useful pieces of work upon a
farm. But these sixinch stems, cut to
the grounp, then throw up shoots of
amazing strength, making a new and
beautiful timber tree with surprising
rapidity.

proposes to do it. He can decree, and he mas
decreed:
Whatever editor or printer or publisher may
hereafter put out any newspaper without the
"prcvious approval" of Vincente Herreras
Secretary of the Interior, or without submit

be fined not less than $25 nor more than
81 900, or imprisoned not less than fifteen
days nor more than one year. Moreover his
printing Office, with all its pre- 'ses and types
is to be seized. The establishment is to be
shut up, and so is the proprietor.
It is rather early times in this country for
similar restraint of misguided newspapers, but
Mr.. ID. d. Field can at once begin to petition
the Assembly or move in Congress Tor u la"
imposing similar restrictions and inflcting SIM
liar penalties-a statute which would be found
highly soothing to his soul, to say nothing OF
the souls of some of his clients. Room, down

Field, who goes to Congress for the opportl-
nifty of making some observations about IL
centious press.
New-York tribune., 1877-01-03
TIE COTNTRY For HIN.

It gives lis the greatest satisfaction to an
nounce that we have just heard of a country
for which we have no doubt Mr.. David Dudley
Field will not only be willing but enrapturcd to
leave his own. He was elected to Congress
yesterday, it is true; but Congress is not his
true place. The poor man has been so un-
happy over the frightful tendencies of our
Government and our people, and has written
such moving and hopeless lamentations upon
the subject, that he can have little hope of
setting everything right in the fag end of n
single Congressional term Mr.. Field has prob
ably heard of the Republic of Costa Rica
whereof Vincente Herrera is, or was, when it was
last heard from, the Provisional President Now
there is a great similarity, at least in one
respect, between President Herrera and Mr..
ID. ID. Ficld-ncither of them has any more
liking for newspapers than Gen. Benz. F..
Butler himself. Each expresses his taste in
his own way; Mr.. David ID. Field writes ar
ticlcs for The International against these
"maps of busy life y but the Costa Rica Pres-
dent, having more power to his elbow, can do
what Mr.. ID. ID. +. can only long TO do, and
can, so to speak, put his foot upon the OBJ
nOxious publications and trample them out of
existence, OF nC CuI lOlDlu illclT DllDllcullOn
without the special approval of his Secretary of
the Interior, which of course means his own.
And he means to do it, for he has issued
proclamation to that effect, with highly
moral preamble reminding us most forcibly
by its style of Mr.. ID. ID. Fields remarkable
essays. The Provisional President observes
that :" in the abnormal circumstances in which
"the nation is found, public order is of the
first necessity, and whatever may tend to
4" disturb 1t must be avoided "-nOw mark the
words, Mr.. Field =" especially the cxccsscs of
20 the press just what you have already said,
Mr.. Field" which serve only to SOW discOrd
I" i'll the public mind, excite the passions, and
"Opposc the general interests OF the country"
1t is our opinion that President Herrera is a
regular subscriber TO The International, and
