Without An Owner.

There are two blocks of unfinished
brick houses on Sixteenth and French
Streets, Philadelphia, for which no
owner can be found. They are six in
rumber, and were begun in 1875 for F.
r; Williams, but we're abandoned after
sl2, 900 had been expended. Since that
time they have been an eyesore to the
neiehborhood, and have been an en-
Iarged playhouse for all the children
thereabouts. The cellars are partly filled
with stagnant water, decaying carcasses,
and debris of all kinds, and the build
ings have become great nuisance.
They have changed owners several times
and the present owner not being ascer~
tainable, the board of health has or
dered the owner of the land to remove
them.

The; report OF the commissioner CT, agrlcul-
ture presents an account of labors of that de-
l1artment during the past year and includes in
formation of much interest to the general pub
lie. The condition of the forests Of the coun-
try and the wasteful manner in which the de-
struction is taking place gives cause for eeri-
GUS apprehension. Their action IN protecting
the earth's surface, in modifying the extremes
of climate and IN regulating and sustaining
the flow of springs and streams, is not
we'll understood, and their importance
in relation to the growth and prosperity Il the
country cannot be safely disregarded. They
are fast disappearing before the destructive
fires and the legitimate requirements OF our
increasing population and their total extinc-
ton cannot be long delayed unless better

ton of congress is invited to the necessity of
[ additional legislation to secure the preserva-
ton of the valuable forests still remaining on
the public domain, especially IN the extreme
western states and territories, where the necea-
sty for their preservation is greater than in lese
mountainous regions and where tho prevailing

farmers are said to be greatly distressed,

the late returns, and are driven to the

ton Of small grains this year will be
twice as large as in 1880, and larger than
ever before in the history Of the State,

New York is initiating California in
her war upon the Chinese, and is object
ing strenuously to the low and ignorant
character Of Italians who are being
crowded into that city. They come from
the poorest Provinces south of Naples,
and there is often grave suspicion that
they are sent by Italian municipalities
glad to get rid of them. On their arri-
val the adults Of both sexes become
street scavengers, and their children
growupin filthy cellars or crowded attics,
whore decency, morality, and cleanliness
are utterly out Of the question.

The mother, unwilling to subject her
gix-year-old boy to the impure air, bad
light and other evil influences sometimes
found about the rooms, grounds, and out
buildings of the school, though herself
unable to add ledger-column with ac-

count, aud write small numbers. She
tearsfro some old arithmetic leaf con-
tanning easy, properly graded examples

instance, pages IL and Is Of Fetters

ward, trifling in value, perhaps, but
priced by the child, induces him to
add the examples until he does 1T
accurately and rapidly. Then she gives
him the next two pages, but only when
thew are fully mastered the next and so
on, until at length--it may not be till
after two or three years-the child has
mustered thirty pages Of examples, and is
able to add long examples on the 18th
page with as much ease and accuracy as
