!soIptcIN startled with tho convie.

absolutely startled with the convic-
ton that the whole provinces Of
woods, which have required hun
drcd years to grow, are each year
being swept away, while nothing is
being done by either public an
thority or private zeal 10 supply
the place Of that which is destroyed,
or protect in 4 measure that which
exists.
Nor is this all. The authority
from which these figures are taken,
not only points out the danger ola
timber famine, but points TO other
serious aspects Of the case. The
influence Of forests upon health;
upon climuto; upon rain and dew
Cor our growing crops, has hardly
begun to be thought Of as it de-
serves. In respect to the last, for
example, how general and urgent
the complaint of drouths Of late.
Streams arc dry; mills are stopped;
city water works on short supply;
farms scorchcd and crops porishing
such has been the staple Of SUM-
mer reports for Il tow years past.
And there can hardly be q doubt
that much of the difference in this
respect between the present state
Of things and that which existed n
few years ago is tgaoeablc to the de-
struction Of the forests. If any
one question this, let him read the
evidence on the subject brought
forward by Mr.. Marsh in his very
able discussion oft in "Man and
Nature" where he adduces many
instances of springs and streams
dried, and lakes falling, when for
csts have been cleared away, but
which returned again when the for
csts grew 4 second time. Indeed,
there can be but little doubt that
the present harrenncss of all North
cm Africa and of Palestine is
largely due TO this cause. The
present and the last rulers Of
Egypt, it is said, have planted more
than twenty millions Of trees, and
since these hayc begun TO grow rain
has become quite common where
before il was almost unknown. A
similar difference has been found
in st. Helena, where within q few
years, forests have begun 10 be en-
tcnsivcly cultivated. And so Of
other places. A distinguished
French meteorological has said that
''to produce rain, u forest was rs
good as 4 mountain;" and it is
easy to believe it true. The people
in all directions whip complain Of
drouth may well favor every effort
to preserve the forests. 1t might
not be unwiso to adopt horc even
the Japanese law, that whoever de-
stroys 4 tree shall plant one. Al
any ratio, hardly any wiser law ex.
lists on the statute book Of some 0!
the western States than that which
cxcmpts forest land from taxation
: or that in ono Of them, (kmsas,
which gives Il bounty of two dol
lars per acre each year for . term o.
trenty fire years, TO any one who will
plant forest trees, provided the
trees shall be cultivated and grow
ing three years hofqre the bounty
begins.

A card something less than q yard in
length was printed this morning by DR..
Jerome Cochrane, of the National board
Of health. Its salient points are that he
feels hurt that he never intended his
propositions for experiments on the sick,
etc, to be made public through the news
papers; hat the whole arrangement was
only intended as an earnest appeal to the
National board Of health for prompt and
sufficient assistance; that in New Orleans,
in Havana, in Mobile, and in other yellow
fever cities sick paupers have always been
carried to hospitals; that from the begin
ming Of the fever to the present time he
has found that our authorities have done
nothing to enforce isolation Of infected
persons, but that intercourse with the well
and sick had been without restraint, and
that when patients recovered no disinfec-
ton at all was practiccd; that the health
officers say they have no means Of doing
these things; that he believes t~hree-fourths
of the houses in Memphis are at this mo-
ment free Of fever in fact, that not more
than two hundred out of six or eight
thousand are infected; and he defends the
National board of health, which is natu-
raj under the circumstances.

Mr.. Ed Schloss is better to-day. The
fever left him yesterday afternoon, and he
was very weak. This morning the symp-
toms were favorable and nourishment
with stimulants we're administered. 1t is
believed he is out of danger.
Mr.. Ed Schloss, who is now suffering
from an attack of the yellow malady, was
here through all of last summer and he
passed the scourge unscathed. His con-
ditions were evidently favorable to its
insidious influences on this occasion.
When General L. B. H~orrigan left here
a month or more ago, he said something
about carrying his sign in the bottom of
his trunk. His declination of the Crimi-

nor Marks, looks as if he meant business
when he said it.
Mr.. Edward Moon was reported to be
able to indulge in watermelon refresh
ments this morning. In view of the fact
that he has been given up for two or three
days, and also that his grave and coffin
had been ordered, his case may be classed
as one Of the most remarkable Of the
season. He has been i'll oyer thirteen
days, and a number of his friends are of
opinion that he will yet recover.
Mr.. Miles Owens, ST., at the advanced
age Of 70 years, and for over 40 years
prominent here in mercantile and railroad
circles, died last night at the corner of
Third and Madison streets, after lingering
more than two weeks with yellow fever.
The funeral of the deceased took place
this forenoon about ten o'clock. Every
possible attention was paid to the de-
ceased during his last days; his son-in-
law, Mr.. Pinkney Smith, of New Or
leans, having sent word to leave nothing
undone to relieve his necessities, and car
ry him through his sickness. Mrs.
Owens was reported down with the fever
last night.

Rev. A. LUIsELLI, pastor Of St. Jo-
seph Catholic Church, will attend to the
spiritual wants of the Catholic people at
Camp Marks and surrounding country.
After a close investigation it has been
found that one-half of the people of the
above camp are Catholic and a great num-
Der Of others are living all around the
country. Rev. A. Luiselli will 90 to the
camp regularly three times a week and
any time his service is required or is
requested. He has obtained from Mr..
Peter Mitchell the use of a small house
prettily located on a hill opposite the
camp, to be used as a chapel. Mass will
be celebrated every Tuesday and Friday
and there will be a lecture every Sunday
afternoon at 3 o'clock. Confessions will
be every Friday before mass. IA
