THE Mint at Carson City has been re-
opened, and coinage will be recon-
menced as soon as the necessary bullion
can be procured at market rates. The
New Orleans Mint is running at its full
capacity, with plenty of bullion on hand
Much Of the bullion purchased there has
been in the form of Mexican dollars. The
Treasury is making arrangements to
avoid the necessity of running the Phil
adelphia Mint night and day during Au-
gust to make up the deficiency in the
coinage of standard silver dollars for the
present month.

RUSSIA is threatened with a new mis-
fOrtune-to Which our cablegrams have
referred. The great plague, which was
widespread in lis destruction, has been
stayed. Now the southern provinces,
containing the choicest wheat lands, are
being devoured by lOcusts. These insects,
that find home and breeding i'm the
Caucasian range of mountains. have
more terror, to Russia, where they hide
the sun in their flights over the fertile
districts, than an invading army. One
diitrict has made an appropriation OF
$4,000 to aid i'm discriminating them.
AS in our own country, all means have,
thus far, been fruitless. Life in Russia
the past and probably for the coming
year can be spoken of only as one of suf-
fering and hardship.

THE treeless prairies of Iowa bid fair.
a hundred years hence, to supply the
forest states of the northwest with tim
Der and lumber; for, as the present tim
Der states are rapidly using up their
timber, Iowa is rapidly covering her for
merly bare prairies with forests, And,
as the Iowa forests are all artificially
planted, of course the more valuable
varieties of trees are selected for plant
Ing. Some years ago the Legislature of
Iowa passed law to encourage the
planting of trees. This law provided
that, for every acre of valuable forest
trees successfully planted, 500 of assess
ed valuation of property should be ex-
empted from taxation for ten years.
This law has operated so well that this
year six millions of dollars worth of
property is exempted under the law, re-
leasing taxes to the amount of $4,000,
which have to be reassessed upon other
property. This shows sixty thousand
acres of trees thus planted already; and
the planting is steadily increasing, so
that the Legislature will probably soon
alter the law, SO as to Offer less pre-
MUM, as the practice of the planting is
now well established,

Washington On Profanity.

BOyntOn's History of West Point" con-
tains the following order issued by Gen.
Washington 100 years ago:
HEADQUARTERS MOORE'S HOUSE, I
WEST POINT July 20, 1779, !
Many and pointed orders have been
issued against the unmeaning and
abOminable custom of swearing, not
withstanding which, with much regret,
the general observes that it prevails, if
possible, more than ever; his feelings
are continually wounded by the Oaths
and imprecatiOns of soldiers whenever
he is in hearing of them.
The name of that Being from whose
bOuntiful goodness we are permitted to
exist and enjoy the comforts of life, is
necessarily imprecated and prOfaned in
a manner as wantOn as it is shocking.
For the sake, therefore, of religion, de-
cency, and order, the general hopes and
trusts that officers of every rank will use
their influence and authority to check a
vice which is as improbable as it is
wicked and shameful.
If officers would make it an unayOida-
BILE rule to reprimand, and, if that does
not do, punish soldiers for Offenses of
this kind, it would not fail of having
the desired effect.
