The EOreSfry Question.

The forestry question is occupying the
attention of this country. 1t has been
shown that in many localities the decim-
ating of the forests has had a most dele
terious effect upon the climate and soil.
An effort is being made to put stop to
the ruthless destruction of timber that is
going on in so many parts Of our domain.
Congress has shown q commendable dis
position to foster and encourage the
growth and preservation of timber on the
prairies of the west by offering lands free
to those who will set out upon them a
certain number of trees. The people are
beginning to give considerable attention
to the subject of tree culture and a ma
tional interest is being manifested on the
question OF how to preserve our forests
and make barren places blossom as the
rose with grand old woods. Last week a
a Forestry Congress assembled in Cincin-
natl composed of delegates from different
STATES. hlCHdIu thcIIL dHu Il. L. Il IL
bert. of Juneau, were among the delegate
from Wisconsin. Friday last the inter
esting ceremony Of planting trees that
would forever memorialize and forever
remind us of our great men in politics,
literature and good works was held in
Eden Park, Cincinnati. Among the
trees planted OH the occasion were seven
oaks in memory of General Won Stueben,
the associate and counselor of General
Washington during the Revolutionary
war. these trees were planted by Mr..
and Mrs. Richard Mertz; Hon. Emil
Rothe, Miss Ella Rothe, Miss Maria
Rothe and Professor Raschig. of Cincin-
natl. Our former townsman, Hon. Emil
Rothe, delivered the following short adj
dress which will be read with much
pleasure by his numerous friends here:
Here on the crown of one of the most
beautiful hills bordering on the Ohio
River we are now going to plant seven
oak-trees in honor and to the memory of
General Won Stuehen, the friend and
comrade of the great George Washington,
the merited drill master of the American
Army, to whose superior skill, expert
ence, energy and gallantry we owe no
small part the success of the American
arms in the struggle for national liberty
and independence, and whose name will
al ways be thankfully remembered as Il ng
as this great Republic exists, and as long
as this nation remains free and patriotic.
These trees are true, native German oaks,
beautiful. young specimens of the holy
zee of Asa Thor, the common symbol Of
all the branches of the Teutonic race,
the German, the Scandinavian, the An
go-Saxon and the youngest but most
thrifty and progressive of all of them,
the Anglo-Amelican and Gernan-Amer
lean combined The oak is the symbol
of strength, noble modesty, solidity, firm
ness and reliability. May these be for
ever the predominant qualities Of the
American nation. May these trees grow
and thrive; NAV they stand for thousands
of years as living witnesses OF the firm
and cordial union of the two principal
branches of the Teutonic race in Amerl-
ca; may they ever and ever throw their
shadows upon free and happy country.

Rem aiscences and an 1ppedE.

Rem niSceHceS and an 1pDeOE.
The old inhabitants here will remem-
Der Rev. Melanchthon Hoyt as the first
missionary of the Episcopal Church at
this place. Even before making his
appearance in Waterfowl in 1916, be
had been pioneer of the church, in
Indiana and Michigan. Over quarter
of a century ago Rev. Mr.. Hoyt left
this parish and preached a Manitowoc,
but true to his missionary tastes and pic
neering instincts he soon removed to Da-
kota territory. He took charge of pastor
al work at Yankton and vicinity and the
fruits of his clerical labors are visible in the
growth and spread of the church in that
region. Rev. Mr.. Hoyt is now the rec
tor of the parish at WATERFOWL, Dakots
and the following letter written by him
to Daniel Jones, the Senior Warden Of
his old parish here, will not only ex-
plain itself but prove of interest to many
of the old friends of Rev. Mr.. Hoyt WHO
are still in this city:
Ny DEAR Mr.. JoNEs:-We have let the
contract for the building of our church
in Watertown, Dakota. The building
will cost upwards of $4,000. We are
lacking about $500 to make up the
amount. l have thought that perhaps
the parishes where | have labored in
former years would help their old pastor
and make up the sum. AS WATERFOWL,
Wisconsin, is one of my favorite parishes,
| would like to see memorial chancel
window in our church from Watertown,
Wisconsin, with whatever inscription you
may wish on it. Our prospect for a
strong and vigorous parish is excellent.
Truly Yours,
NJ. HOYT.

Brook as. Jones.

The testimony in the Brook VS.. Jones
trial before Judge Colonius at Jefferson,
has all been taken and the arguments in
the case will be made to-day. This suit
is brought by Mr.. Brook against the es-
tate of the late Thomas G. Jones, editor
of the Watertown Democrat, for alleged
services performed by him Brook as
managing editor of the Democrat from
March 18th. 1877, to May Sd, 1881, at
$500 per annum, the sum total for said
services being $206665. l. 7. Carr, of
the Jefferson Banner, testified that Mr..
Brook services as certified by himself on
the witness stand, were worth $500 a
year while the testimony of others expert
enced in the newspaper business went
to show that the lahors Mr. Brook said he
performed on the paper were worth only
from $3.50 to $500 year The counsel
for defense started out to prove that Mr..
Brook had been detriment to the paper
through the frequent personal attacks
made upon prominent democrats in its
columns while under the control of Mr..
Brook. To try the merits of the case on
this hypothesis WAS deemed impractical
BILE as it was considered it would occupy
rather too much time to bring the entire
array of prominent democrats into
court and have them sworn on this point
Mr. Gardner, one of the counsel for the
plaintiff, made an earnest appeal 70 the
Court on this turn in the proceedings.
He avowed that Watertown was running
over with democrats aud to his knowl-
edge there was not single one of the
brethren but what was prominent den-
ocrat." AS proof of the assertion there
were present in the court room at this
time not few democrats each one of
whom was willing to admit that the adj
jective prominent applied with marked
pertinence to himself 1t is unnecessary
TO say that the Judge and the counsel,
having other work before them for this
summer besides trying this case, agreed
net to press the point of having all the
prominent democrats" testify as to the
merits of Mr.. Brook services as "manag-
ing editor" of the Democrat. The chief
question at issue in this case appears to
ho Il i
managing editor of the Watertown Dem
ocrat from March 18th, 1877, to May Sd,
1881, or was Thomas c. Jones, whose
name as editor and proprietor stood at
the head of the columns, all this time? II
the Judge is convinced that Mr. Brook
had the principal management of the pa
per for the four years and over, o. course
he will decide that he is entitled to some
consideration.
