The Timber Consumption.

The Lumbermen's Gazette gives some in
teresting facts as to the vast consumption
of timber in the United States, and supplies
cogent argument for the protection of our
forests. We condense therefrom as follows :
ave have now about 10000 miles of rail
road the annual consumption for ties or
sleepers alone is 100000, or thirty years
growth of $4,000 acres. To fence these
roads would require at least 10000 miles
of fence. We have $4,000 miles of wire,
which requires in its putting up 100000
trees, while the annual repairs must take
100000 more. The little, insignificant
lucifer match consumes annually in its
manufacture 100000 cubic feet Of the finest
pine. The bricks that are annually baked
require 100000 cords of wood, which
would sweep the timber clean from 10000
acres. Shoe-pegs are quite as important an
article as matches or bricks, and to make
the required annual supply consumes l00,-
900 cords Of fine timber, while the manu-
facturer of lasts and boot-trees takes 500000
cords of maple, beech and birch, and about
the same amount is required for plane-stocks
and the handles of tools The packing boxes
made in the United States in 1874 amounted
to Sl2000,000, while the timber manufac.
tured into agricultural implements, wagons,
etc, is more than Sl00,OOO,O0O. The farm
and rural fences of the country consume an
immense amount of lumber and timber an
nually, but as we grow older as nation
this consumption may, and probably will,
be reduced by the more general use of line
fences or hedges. Our consumption of tim
Der is not only daily on the increase, but our
expectation of timber is also rapidly in
creasing. Our slaves go by the million to
France annually; walnut, oak, maple and
pine to England, and spars and docking tim
Der to China and Japan"

The promise of settled and genuine peace
as the result of the Berlin congress seems
not to have been realized. Austrian jeal-
ousy or greed has darkened the horizon with
clouds, and they scowl ominously. BY the
convention made at Berlin, she was to be
permitted to occupy Bosnia aud Herzegovina
for season, at least, till the armies of the
Gar had had time to retire from her from
tier. But the inhabitants of the provinces
entertain deep jealousy of the Austrians.
The Mohammedan portion of the population
dread absorption by the Austrian empire,
and have fercely resisted the invaders. And
though the Austrian armies by their over
whelming numbers have borne down oppo-
sition. they have simply quenched the flames.
The embers still linger, and threaten to
kindle anew whenever opportunity allows.
The unwelcome necessity therefore exists
for large army of occupation to be main
tanned. But war in modern times is
costly amusement. Austria is therefore
menaced by double peril. Hungary has
no wish TO see an alien population prepon-
derate in the empire. After Austria was
humbled few years ago by the Prussian
arms her monarch was sagacious enough to
grant important concessions to Hungary,
which secured the hearty support of that
kingdom. But the Magyars sympathize
with the Turks. They have no WISH there
fore, that the Moslem empire be dismem-
bered, and dread to have provinces whose
population is too largely Sclavic incorpor-
ated with the empire of Austro-Hungary.
Hence they protest very earnestly against
costly war, which must entail heavy taxa
ton. Meantime the Austrian court is in
dignant at the attitude of the Porte, and
fears are expressed that the Austrians and
Turks will drift into war.

The Yellow Fever.

Under the bright sun, and in the clear,
life-giving air we are now breathing in
these October days of Vermont we are alto
gether unable to enter into the sombre and
almost despairing experience of many of the
dwellers in the fever stricken cities and
towns of the Southwest. The miasma
that settles down upon them, we know moth
ing of the cloud that rests on them is too
thick for us to look through. Even the
long death lists that are reported daily, aud
that sober and sadden our hearts, convey to
us but little of the distress that is felt at the
loss of dear ones, the desolation of homes,
the breaking up of families and sunder-
ing of all the tenderest ties of earth. Oc-
casionally, however, there comes record
that lets in to these scenes of sadness and
reveals to us more of the unutterable things
that are suffered in these days of vista
ton. Here is one from Memphis: "On
Thursday the son of pastor of one of our
churches, numbering four hundred persons,
was buried. The son himself had many
friends. Who attended that funeral The
parents, themselves just from yellow fever
bed, and two nurses OF the son-one an
Italian, and the other negro. These four,
and no others. Not member of that pas
tors church, not citizen could be spared for
an hour to go with him and his heart-broken
wife to the grave of their son."

POlygamy Still FlOurishing.

In common with the general public we
looked for a rapid decline and speedy demise
of this oathsome fanaticism to follow the
death of its great apostle, Brigham Young.
And during the first month succeeding that
event things seemed to shape in the line of
the popular prophecy. There was a row
about the estate which he had left, and rumor
did not hesitate to assert that an examina-
ton of his books and accounts disclosed the
fact that he had been uncommonly good to
his own bank account at the expense of the
church for which he was supposed to spend
and be spent, and to sit up nights. Later
on there was considerable unpleasantness
among the surviving saints as to which of
them should step into the great mans shoes.
But, sad for prophecy to relate, Youngs
estate was Strengthened out the question of
the succession decided, and fresh band of
missionaries and runners sent forth prose-
lyting and to proselyte within year of
the funeral. Since then things temporal
and spiritual have gone on in Utah as pros
perously as if Brigham had been present in
the flesh And now we read that " six hun
dred fresh converts to Mormonism have Just
landed from Liverpool steamer, and will
Immediately proceed to Salt Lake city the
company is the third that has crossed the
Atlantic this season." Brigham Young, son
of his father, Orson Hyde and Elder Car
mon have kept the torch which they re-
ceived from the hand of the great leader
burning bright as in his best days-have
prevented the church from splitting and
prosecuted the missionary work with un-
common vigor and in spite or because of
hard times, with great success We news
paper prophets lost sight of the fact that al
though Brigham had died, millions of fools,
ignoramuses and knaves-the feeders of
fanaticism--survive him.

Coon IprA.-A number of the America,

COOP IDEA.--A number of the American
papers are heartily commencing Earl Duf.
FERNS proposal to wrest Niagara Falls-the
great panorama of the continent-from the
hands of those speculators who at present
control the approaches to it. Niagara has
long been known as the place where more
fleeing was done to the square inch than
anywhere else. Lord Dufferin's ideas are
that the state of New York and the Cana
dian authorities should obtain possession of
all the approaches to this grand wonder of
nature, make them peoples park, and SO
regulate matters connected with it that it
shall be possible for the poor man, as well
as the rich, to enjoy its contemplation.

How THEY FEEL.-The Montreal Star
says: The United States people are fondly
cherishing the hope that Great Britain will
consent to a revision of the Fishery award,
for which we Canadians can see no reason,
except its object be to increase the amount
to be paid. Let the Americans, if they
want what they call justice in this Canadian
affair-which we maintain is scarcely just
to us---do justice by the Mother Country,
and remit that balance of the Geneva award
which they admit they have no means of
apportioning."

The " Ohio Idea"

What has come to be known by the above
appellation was this: it demanded the re.
peal of the resumption act, the removal of
all restrictions on the coinage of silver, and
gradual substitution of legal tender paper
for national bank notes, to be the sole paper
currency of the country, the volume to be
regulated by law. This platform was
adopted by the Ohio democrats in their state
convention, and accepted by Senator Thur
man, in the face of all his antecedents, for
personal and party advantage.
This Ohio idea was embodied substan-
TALLY in the democratic platforms of Indi-
ana and Iowa. The Republicans accepted
the issue squarely in Ohio and Iowa, and
lodged it in Indiana. In one Congressional
district in Indiana, they made no nomina-
ton and endeavored to overcome the dem
ocratic majority of six hundred and seventy
five by joining hands with the Nationals
The result shows that the Ohio idea is not
useful political invention. Even the great
weight of Senator Thurman's name has
failed to give it any effective force The
Republicans of Ohio have carried the state
by an increased majority. They were en-
titled to six of the Congressional districts
as arranged by the democratic legislature
and they have carried nine certainly, and
probably ten. The Iowa Republicans have
increased their majority for the state ticket
There has been a Republican loss in In
diana, where the Republicans undertook to
adopt the Ohio idea, in a modified form, and
lost two Congressman by the experiment
This election shows that the people of
these states are opposed to the repeal of
the resumption act that they look with
great doubt upon the increasing volume of
silver, which threatens to put the United
States on commercial level with China,
Hindostan and Mexico; and that before
deciding to turn the treasury into gigan-
tic national bank, with the two Houses of
Congress for directors, they wish to hear
some better arguments than have yet been
offered in favor of that project.

What is Paper Money Z

In answer to this question General Gar
field well says: d" Is it money 1t is tile
to money, but it is not money. Your far
mer has bis deed for hundred acres of
land is that the land 1t is paper, but it
is his evidence of title that he owns the
farm. Suppose you wanted to buy his
farm you look at his deed the first ques-
ton you raise is, Is it genuine or counter
felt If you find that it is genuine, that
it has been issued by the requisite author
ity, then you still have another question.
You see it calls for one hundred acres of
land, but you send a surveyor out; he
traces the lines; he takes the angles he
makes the measurement, and when he has
come back with his measurement, and there
is within the boundaries described one hun
bred acres of land, then the deed is the evil
dence of all it pretends to be. But if, when
the surveyor comes back, he says that there
are but ninety.nine acres of land, what do the
figures or the deed amount to in face of
fact Suppose the farmers in your agri-
cultural district should say, We are in dis
tress; our great need is land if we had
more land we could get on better with our
affairs, and now let us go and get a law
through the general court which declares
that every man may surrender up his deeds
and have a new one written, with two acres
for every one. When you can enlarge your
farm by changing the figures in your deeds;
when your dairymaid can make more but
ter and cheese by watering her milk; when
you can have more cloth by decreasing your
yard-stick one-half Qaughter); when you
can sell more tons of merchandise by short
ening your pound one-half then, and not
until then, can you increase the values you
own by decreasing your standard of values

A DTFIcULTY.-It is by no means i'm
probable that there may be further difficult
ties between the United States and the au-
thorities of Spain, owing to the retention in
slavery upon the island of Cuba of numbers
of colored citizens of the United States,
who had been kidnapped. This being
demonstrated, the United States must inter
vene. win Spain plead that she is power
less, and, in such event, will the United
States take any action in behalf of SCUBA
Libre ?"

Hostility Of the Mexicans.

The sixty-eighth anniversary Of Mexican
Independence was celebrated at the capital
with great enthusiasm on the 18th of Sep
TENDER. On the evening of the 10th, patri-
otto speeches were made in the theatre, and
it was noticeable that all of them were ex-
ceedingly hostile to the United States. A
poet, named Anselmo Alvaro, was especially
violent, and appeared to address his remarks
directly to Minister Foster, who occupied a
box at the theatre. The audience applauded
Alvaros assertion that the voice of Mexico
is for war. At eleven o'clock President Diaz
appeared upon the stage, with flag IN his
hand, and went through the customary cere-
mony of giving the shout of freedom. The
next morning the streets were decorated
with bunting and the President and his
Cabinet walked through the city. n the
afternoon the Congress met. The Presi-
dents speech was devoted to the American
question. He maintained that the depreda-
tions upon the border were not confined to
either nation; and styled the order of June
/, 1877, to General Ord, unprecedented
This order instructs General Ord to pursue
Mexican thieves if necessary, upon Mexican
soil. President Diaz said that he was ready
to enter into reciprocal arrangement with
the United States, to put an end to the dis
turbances on the border, but it must be
condition precedent, that the offensive order
of June LIST, 1877, shall be Withdrawn.
President Chavero, of the chamber of depu-
ties, replied, congratulating President Diaz
on his assertion of the rights of Mexico by
refusing to make any arrangements for the
crossing of the Rio Grande by the troops of
either country until the order to General
Ord is rescinded, and said he felt sure that
the President would maintain the constitu-
ton in the interior and the dignity Of the
nation abroad. The rebellion against Diaz
is rapidly losing ground. 1t is understood
that the President will ask the Congress to
levy an extraordinary tax of one per cent,
to provide for war, which is generally ex-
pected

TERRIBLE INDIAN ATRoCITIEs.-The tel
egraph brings intelligence that the renegade
Cheyennes crossed the Kansas Pacific rail
road, not far from Buffalo, Kansas, last
week, and going in northerly direction
through the regions of Beaver and Sappa
creeks, murdered and outraged the iuhab-
itants in the most fendsh manner. Seven
teen dead bodies of persons who were
known, and twenty.nine who were unrecog-
nized, were gathered up by the settlers and
buried at Bowden. During all this time the
troops were only few hours in the rear,
and the stock-men and settlers are very bit
ter in their denunciaton of the way they
were handled. On one occasion, about two
hundred soldiers came up with the Indians,
but did not engage them-the excuse being
that the soldiers were tired out. Gen. jeff.
c. Davis had his headquarters at Wallace,
but did not take the field in person ; and
Gen. Pope, department commander, seemed
TO have little knowledge of the state Of af-
fairs, as he telegraphed on the day the men
were killed, south Of Buffalo, that there was
not an Indian in Kansas.

GOVERNOR HAMPTON, of South Carolin

GOVERNOR HAMPTON, of South Carolina,
is not only ready to quarrel with Massachu-
sets, but with the United States, too. In
recent speech to the illicit distillers of his
state he said that "the present revenue laws
of the United States are outrageously unjust
aud oppressive, aud no free people could be
expected to obey them. Only with the hope
that they may be modified next winter,
could advise you under any circumstances
to submit to them. Nevertheless, for the
present perhaps you had better obey them"
