ton of walnut and other lumber used
in the furniture business.
AS the wants have multiplied by in
crease of population, the diminution
has been in an inverse ratio, and the
very natural result is an advance in
price. The census reports show that
the value of the lumber product in
1860 was $96,715,S54. In 1870 it had
increased to $2l0, 1885, ,337. The last ten
years have increased the total, as
shown, to $233, 1861, ,726. The following
figures will give some idea of the lum-
Der industry:
Taking the States by the value o1
the products, Michigan leads by long
way with total of $50, ,449, ,92S; Penn
sylvania shows 500, ,457 ,359; Wisconsin
81, ,952, ,347; New York comes forth in
the list with $12,356,91O Indiana is
nearly equal with $14,26O,S3O; Ohio
has $13, 1864, 400; and from this there is
a drop to Maine, with 81 ,933, ,86S; Min.
nesota is about the same in rank
Illinois, California, Georgia, Iowa.
Kentucky, Missouri, New Hampshire
Vermont, Virginia, Texas and Tennes-
see all range along from above $3,000,.
600 to within $6,OOOOO0 in their pro
duct. When it comes to number O
establishments, Pennsylvania and New
York each have more than any Othel
State, and well ON toward twice as
many as Michigan. The latter State
employs 10000 persons, New Yorl

OUR peach evaporators, who are put
ting so much of dried fruit in market
may get some comfort in the fact that
the apple orchards of the Northern
States will not be able to supply the
demand of fruit to eat Mt good prices,
much less furnish stock for the evapo-
rators. The apple crop is virtually a
failure in much of that section, and
consequently not much of this fruit will
be evaporated, which will make it
better for our dried peaches in keeping
up the prices. AS new enterprise in
the North, the demand for machines
would have been otherwise beyond the
capacity of the manufacturers.

THE statement was made last week
that the price Of lumber had been ad-
vaneed by the Western dealers from
so cents to 81 per thousand feet. This
is in consequence of the prospective
diminished supply by reason of the
depleted forests. They have been cut
down by the thousand acres, without
new trees coming in to take their
place. We may judge somewhat by the
destruction of timber the past twenty
Eve years on this Peninsula. Ths

which our woods abounded, has beer

THE war in Egypt is begun, but just
where and when the end will come is
one of the things not so easily deter
mined. Arab may surrender and
thus end the fight, but there is much
feeling throughout the Mahomedan
countries, and should they flock to his
standard in any considerable numbers,
the fight may be prolonged long time.
England's superior arms and discipline
must in the end gain the victory. The
British forces are concentrating at
Ismailia and preparing for a rapid
march eastward across the desert.
There are three reasons for haste !:
First, audacity invariably succeeds in
war; secondly, the Isthmus from Port
Said to Suez is dependent for fresh
water upon the Sweet Water Canal
and the supply may be cut off at Zaga-
zig; thirdly, Oriental troops are al
ways demoralized when they are not
behind entertainments and Arab should
not be given an opportunity for throw
ing up a new line of earthworks
There has been q skirmish at Shaluf
the first station lbovc Suez, where 8
small body of Egyptians were entrencb
ing and at the same time diverting the
course Of the fresh-water canal; an(
there are signs of activity in othel
quarters. The movement of the Medi
terranean force was well-timed, fo
the Indian contingent is already on tn
ground at Suez in readiness for activ'
operations. Ismaiiia, situated on tn

State Prison from this county about
seven months ago for cattle stealing,
has become raving maniac. His a p
parent mania is 80 violent that the au-
thOrities have chained him to the wall
in the tailor shop. The prison physicians,
Drs. Fox and Lee, in company with the
Prison Commissioners, Lieutenant Gov
ernOr Adams, Secretary Of State Bah
were at the prison yesterday, when the
case of Combs was called to their atten
by the doctors and closely observed by
the commissioners, resulting in a dis
agreement regarding his mental con-
dition, DR.. Fox and Secretary of State
BabcOck feeling convinced that the
man is a perfect maniac, while Dr.. Lee
and the other commissioned believe
that he is '.playing pOSsum." Dr. Fox
treated Combs before he was sent to the
State Prison, and asserts that he had
periodical insane spells prior to that
time, which have bee n seriously aggra-
waited by reason of his incarceration.
DR.. Lee thinks that a strong club would
do Combs more good than anything
else, while DR.. Fox thinks that ne
should be treated like a crazy man
but when doctors disagree, who is to
decide ?
