DESTRUCTION OF AMERICAN FoREsTs.-ln
our own country we have gone to the forests
in a kind of freebooter style, cutting and
burning more than we could cut, acting for
the most part as though all the while in a
frolc or fight, until now at length after CEN
tury of this sort Of work, we are waking up to
the fact that our once boundless woods are
Disappearing and that we are likely to suffer
no little loss thereby. But it is only the few
who seem now to have an adequate sense OF
our condition as effected by the threatened
loss of the trees. In recent publication is
sued by authority of one Of our Western States
for the express purpose Of attracting settlers
from European countries, the statistics of it's
great lumber production are elaborately set
forth, accompanied by the assurance that the
present enormous consumption Of trees for
this purpose may be continued ten or fifteen
years longer before the forests will be destroy
ed. The cool unconcefn in regard to the fn-
ture shown in this is very noticeable. AFTER
US, the deluge" A corresponding feeling,
though working on a much smaller scale, is
seen in an advertisement, and Of class often
appearing in our older States. "Brace up,
Young Man. You have lived on your parents
long enough. Buy this farm, cut off the wood,
haul it to market, get your money for it and
pay for the farm. The owner estimates that
there will be 500 cords of market wood" :"
And so all over the country, on the large
scale and on the small, the axe is laid at the
roots of the trees and our forests are disap-
pearing. It is estimated that 5000, 600 acres
of forest land are cleared every year, and that
in the ten years previous to 1876 l2,OO0,OOO
acres were burned over simply to clear the
land.-Harper's Magazine.

CONFIDENCE IN SELF.-Rely on yourself ;
take it for granted that you can accomplish
your plans Never say II can't p they are
ignobie words. He who does not feel within
himself the power to conquer fate is not man
in the true sense of the word. Of course it is
a misfortune for him, since he can never be
any benefit to himself or anybody else. Heav-
en- help the woman who marries him! Some
body says, 'Oh, 1 don't like these self-con-
ceited folksn' My friend, self conceit and
self confidence are two qualities as different
as light and darkness and though the self
conceited person may not be the most agreea-
ble of companions, we infinitely prefer him to
the creeping, cringing, craven-spirited fellow
who is never ready for an emergency, and who,
like Uria Heep, spends his time trying to be
tumble" The man who says II will do it %
who says it from his heart and means it, too,
who bends his whole energy to the work, al
most always accompliced it and then people
call him lucky and successful and all that
sort of thing, when, in fact, his luck has been
brought about by his own preserving efforts
and by his confidence in himself. Fortune
detests cowardice; and the man who will not
be conquered by trifies is her prime favorite.

CIRCUS MANAGEMENT.-S 1860 the i'm
provement in circuses has been great. In that
year Lewis B. Lent, proprietor OF the New
York circus, which exhibited on Fourteenth
street, commenced travelling by rail. Things
have changed greatly since Lent's circus train
was whirled through the country. Big circus
es nowadays require three trains aggregatlng
45 cars. Besides, from three to five advertl-
sing cars precede them, the first by four or five
weeks. Until late years wagons were used for
this purpose, but these were not fast or mag
nifcent enough. The catapult and electric
light are late additions. The employees are fed
on the ground, by the circus managers, and
only the principal performers 60 to hotel.
Where forty horses used to be the limit, from
200 to 300 were employed before the circus took
the rail- One tent this year will be $50 by 2OO
feet in dimensions. The expenses OF big cir
Gus amount to $500 day. The largest
amount taken in, in single day, is 4,WO--
the receipts of show at Pittsburg, Pennsyl-
vania, last season. It is often the case that
three performances are given in a single day
in the morning, afternoon and evening. And
the sideshoWs are great deal larger than the
earlier circuses. The advertising has grown
to be the biggest part of the show. The size
of the first bill was 80 by 40 inches and now
some of them are so times as large. There
are not IS many shows as there were years ago.
But II of consequence will start out this year
while during the war there were 4O, with only
one half of the country to exhibit IN. Inc
larger ones have swallowed the smaller. Eve

tensive herd of elephants he can collect.

PERFUMES. is discovered that perfumes
exert healthy influence on the atmosphere,
converting it's oxygen into ozone. Cherry,
laurel, clover, lavender, mint, juniper, fennel
and bergamot develop the largest quantity of
ozone. Flowers without perfume do not de-
velop it, but the flowers of ,narcissus, mignIo-

A PREACHERS MIsHAP.-A singular acci-
dent befell Scottish clergyman while preach
ing in non conformist chapel at Shephard's
bush on Sunday last. Hehad vigorous style,
and showed himself zealously fervent in driving
home to his interested hearers the solemn
words and moral of his text. Hands and eyes
were both brought into play in enforcing the
winged words" of the portly preacher, and
now and again he would lean his whole weight
upon the reading stand, gazing intently into
the faces of his auditors to deepen the impress
sion of his counsels. While he was once thus
gazing the audience were startled by seeing
the reading stand topple over the platform,
followed headlong by the energetic preacher
himself. Many rushed to his assistance, but,
although the fall was one of about seven feet,
the minister quickly regained his footing and
at once returned to his place at the restored
reading stand. Before resuming the awk-
wardly interrupted discourse, however, the
preacher remarked, with quaint ''pawkiness"
that 'sthose who leaned upon the Master would
be better sustained than he had while leaning
upon the reading stand of his servant. t.-London

Stunning affectionate attitudes, and, altogetl-

SOUND AND COLOR.-SOundS produce III
certain individuals the impression of color.
The curious phenomenon, which was first de-
scribed by Nussbaumer in 1873, has recently
been made the subject Of systematic study by
Herren Bleulen and Lehman, Of Eutich
They find that the colors associated with diff
ferent notes differ with the individuals. being
as a rule light for high notes and dark for low
notes. Chords either cause the colors which
correspond to their notes to appear to the mind
side by side or give mixture Of those colors
The same note in different keys changes in
color and to many persons different colcrs ap-
pear when the same piece is played by different
instruments. Noises, as we'll as musical notes,
are accompanied by colors, varying with the
in, ensity and pitch of the sound. OF 596 indi-
viduals examined, One-eighth were ''color hear
ers." Four persons perceived sound as result
Of sensations of light and color. A broad
quietly burning gas flame ledto the perception
of sound formed Of 20 and a light vowel like
E.; but when the fame fickered the sound be-
came that of l. These cases can generally ne
explained by an association Of sounds with col
ors by the individual minds, and the phenome-
non is largely hereditary.

WHAT ABOUT THE .. 8. SENATE.


The Democrats are morally certain Of
controlling the next House Of Repre-
sentatives.
Their chances of controlling the Sem
ate are not so good. They are limited
to electing two or three Of the success
sors to the following Republicans whose
terms expire, viz: CHILLcorr, Of Col
GRADE; PLUMB, of Kansas; HoAR, oil
Massachusetts; FERRY, Of Michigan;
SAUNDERS, of Nebraska; ROLLINS, OF
New Hampshire, and DAVIS, Of Hi
nois.
Unless there is q ground-swell in some
of these Republican States similar to
that in Ohio, they will still be repre-
sented by Republican Senators. Un-
fortunately, in the States of Ohio, New
York and Pennsylvania, which offer
fine Democratic opportunities, no Sena-
tors are elected this year.
OF the Democratic Senators, whose
terms expire next March, the following
are morally certain to be succeeded by
Democrats: RANSOM, Of North Caro-
lima; BUTLER, of South Carolina; HAIR
R1s, of Tennessee; COKE, of Texas
HILL, Of Georgia; MORGAN, OF Ala
bama; GARLAND, of Arkansas; BECK,
of Kentucky, and DAVIS, Of West Vir-
ginia.
There is but little danger therefore
that we will not hold our own, and all
the chances are on our side for what
ever mutations may occur in the field
of politics.
