To stop this extension, considerable expen

States to cover their surface with q vegetable

sively and successfully in Europe. Nearly q
century ago Bremontier publshed memoir on
the reclamation of sand Dunes Under the
patronage of the French Government, he sue
cessfully introd uoed the planting Of the mari
time pine along the Atlantic coast Of Gasoony.
These plant tAtions have been perseveringly
continued feomtbat time to the present. and
now cover over 100. 600 aores in the sipsle dis

made productive soil, but still greater extent

The total cost of planting and protecting
the pines has sometimes been as much ss $40
per acre. The timber Of this plantation has
long been q source Of profit, affordiug both
resin and wood. France now draws an annual
revenue of 130.0 .000 francs from the resiuous
product of these forests. But in this case the

HummeI attributes the devastation of the
Ksrst, the high plateau u ing north of Trieste
until recently one of the most parched and
barren wastes in Europe-to the telling of its
woods. centuries ago, to build the navies of
Venice. The Austrian Government is now
making energetic. and thus far, successful
efforts for the reclamation of this desolate
waste, having planted over half @ million of
young trees and sown great quantities of seed
In the vicinity of Antwerp, less than fifty
years ago. was q vast desolate plain. Looking
to-day in the same direction from the spire of
the cathedral one can see nothing but O forest,
whose limits seem lost in the horizon. Forest
plantations have transformed these barren
lands into fertile fields. On the Adriatic
Baltic, Mediterranean as we'll as the Bisoayan
coasts the disastrous eDoroachments Of the sea
have been checked by forest plant ations. Ex-
tensive plains, once barren sands, south of
Berlin, about Odessa and north of the Black

LITERARY MEN IN POLITICS.

Thirty or forty years ago it was one Of
the creeds of British statesmen that au-
thors of books were unfit for political EN- :
ploymeDt, and the blunders of Theodore
Hook at Mauritius, and Tommy Moore at
Bermuda, gave some color to the absurd
notion. But since that time common sense
has been allowed some sway, and the result
has been of considerable advantage to the
State. / could name masy men who, after
o career of letters, have proved themselves
very capable in positions Of public respon-
sibility. Gilbert A. Beckett, of the Lon
don Punch staff. made an excellent Stipen-
diary London Magistrate Hannay ,,of the

Mitchell, of the Morning Post, was Consul
General at st. Petersburg; Albany, FOn::

three or-four works; Samuel Warren,

Roemer, already briefly alluded to in the GLOBE.
The decedent was a brother-in-law of J. G.
Haupt, pop manufacturer, Of this city. It was
an undoubted case of sunstroke. The deceased
left Brainerd for Bismarck about the middle of
last month, his intention being to establish a
cider factory at the latter place. On arriving
there, he ordered his apparatus and materials
from Philadelphia, when he suddenly disap-
peared. Some ten days before his death a
farmer came in to Bismarck and reported to
the sheriff that Romer, then an insane
man, was at his house, but nothing
was done toward his removal. On last Tues
