The European nations are by no means a
happy family at present. England is at fever
heat. Russia wants to know. you know, what
England is doing in the Sea of Marmora, i'm
defiance of international law and insinuates
that the congress can meet very comfortably,
whether England attends or not. The North
German Gazette says it is evident that Russia
regards war with England as inevitable Rou-
mania refuses to receive independence at the
hands of Russia, and will not permit the pas
sage OF Russian troops through her territory :
one OF these two nations is going to get hurt.
Greece is sulky and will not enter the COLI
gress, except on an equal footing with her big
Heighbors. Austria is divided in her councils
just now her leanings appear to be towards
Russia At almost every court in Europe a
contest in wits between the representatives of
England and Russia is progressing. Who can
tell whether or not words will be followed by
blows?

The row in the New York HOMEOPATHIC
camp has not yet been quieted. The liberals
and the strict cOnstructiOnistS are arming for
renewal of the fray. The point at issue is
whether the entire practice of homeopathic
physician must be conducted i'm strict con-
formity with the words of the constitution, on
the principle of like cures like" Those
who think that the whole practice of medicine
Is not necessarily founded on this one prin-
ciple. and that mechanical means must some
times he used to counterfeit mechanical eff
ieets and chemical means to counterfeit chem
zeal effects, have gained two victories, but are
now apparently defeated, the twice adopted
resolutions expressing their views having
been reseinded. The liberals claim that they
are true hom1opathS, and do not think it is a
proper view of the principles of that belief
which would place the removal of a silver
from the flesh, in case of accident. outside of
homeopathic practice.

Tie great international walking match in
London ends to-day, and from present ap-
pearanceS, O'Leary, the American representa-
tive will be the victor. No doubt our British
cousins will in that event claim that O'Leary
belongs 10 them-that he is an IrShman and
not an American. He is of Irish birth to
be sure, but was raised in this country,
and this fact as well as the result in the case
OF the rifle matches serves to show that there
is nothing the matter with our air in the way
OF deteriOrating the human race. Perhaps we

The Timber Thieves.

The necessity of active measures for prevent
ing depredationS on government timber has
long been evident. The country has been
robbed of millions of dollars through wood
plundererS, and unless their operations are
firmly checked our most valuable timber will
be recklessly destroyed and great tracts of
land, denuded of their forests and exposed to
drought, will be seriously impaired in value
The present Secretary of the Interior has re-
cOgniZed that an evil of the magnitude and
long standing of the timber depredations re-
quireS heroic treatment, and has checked with
a stronger hand than his predecessors these
gigantic rObberieS Much lumber taken from
the public lands has been recovered and the
proceeds of its sale turned over to the Treasu-
ry. In Minnesota twenty-five criminal and
seventy eight civil suits have been prosecuted
to final judgments and the government has
gained a verdict in every case. In Louisiana
and Mississippi also, and in several western
states and territories the operations of the In
terror department have been vigorously
prosecuted. sum of money has been
realized for the government equivalent
to more than One-half of the amount repre-
Sented by all the previous recOveries of
stolen timber for twenty one years In the
vast scheme of repreSSive operations which
the comparative neglect of the past now
makes necessary, errors in details, cases OfIn-
lISldllceS Oh use
OF power by untruStwOrthy special agents and
other minor evils may all be expected. The
machinery will not work without a hitch but
under careful supervision and skiIlful guild
ance its great ends will undoubtedly be at
tanned. The zeal of the Secretary of the Inte-
rlOr Is turned i'll the right direction and his
labOrS cannot fail to be of pubic benefit. The
crusade against him by some of our prominent
Senators must not be allowed to confuse the
case. On unsurveyed lands the timber cannot
be bought, and settlers in order to live are of
necessity depredatOrs. The Congress of the Uni
ted States, though repeatedly petitioned. has
failed to relieve them from their difficult posi-
ton. By statute they are still considered dep
redatOrS and it is the duty of the executive
branch TO enforce existing laws. The Secre-
tary called attention to the state of the case i'm
his report to Congress, and suggested apprO-
pirate legislation: but none was forthcoming.
In applying the laws to such cases he has.
however, endeavOred to produce as little hard
ship as possible he has not exacted the full
penalties; has Disseminated i'm the persons on
whom they were to be imposed and has per-
mitted the technically stolen timber to be re.
tanned upon the payment of a reasonable |
price. The present onslaught on the Secretary |
IS based on side issue of secondary import |
ance. Whatever variety of opinions NAV |
be expressed as to the eXpediency of some $50 |
lated measure in the war against the timber |
depredatOrS, the general scheme of suppress |
ing these vast rObbeTieS cannot fail to receive |
The approval OF every unprecedented person.

So much has been written about
the aridity of Arizona; it has been
stigmatised as "the land of the
cactus and thorn;" its demerits
descanted upon and little merit ac-
corded, save for its mineral wealth
and climate; that general ims
preston obtains that Southwest
ern Arizona is q lifeless solitude.
Whereas, few undevelUped coun-
tries offer as much of interest to
every branch of science. Its
Ornithology offers fine field for
discovery and study. The few
naturaliSts who have paid atten-
ton to it have each discovered
species and varieties hitherto un-
known; the reports of G.. 3. lGen1
