AMERICAN FORESTS.
The Atalm ming Rapidity with Which Their
Destruction IL Going On.

The Alarming Rapidity with Which Their
Destruction IL Going On.
From Harper's Magazine.
In our own country We have gone to the
forests in kind OF freebooter style. cut
Ting and burning more than we could cut,
acting for the most part as though all the
while in frolic or fight, until now al!
length, after century or two of this sort
OF work. We are waking up to the fact that
our once boandless woods are disappearing
and that We are likely to suffer no little
loss thereby. But j: is only the few who
seea1 now to have an adequate sense OF our
condition a. effected by the threatened
loss OF the trees. In recent publication,
issued BY authority Of one of our Western
attracting settlers from European
lumber production are deliberately 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 ta de-
stroyed. The cool uncoacern in regard to
the future shown in this is very noticabl..
After US, tho deluge." A corresponding
feeling, though working on much smaller
scale. is seen in an advertisement, and Of a
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 Tor it and ray for the farm.
The owner estimates that there will
be 500 cords Of market wood" And so. all
tver the country, on the large scale and on
the small. the AZ is laid at the roots Of our
trees, and our forests are disappearing. It
10 estimated that 100000 acres Of fores
land are cleared every year AMI that in the
ten years previoas to 1876, 10000, 900 acres
were burned over simply to clear thu land.

From the New York Traveller.
The hotel clerk is a young man who was
originally created to fill an Emperor's
throne or adorn Dukedom, but when he
grew up there being fewer thrones and

Dukes, he was temporarily forced to take
position behind hotel gister. His chief
characteristics are dignity and bearing,
radiant gors eousness Of apparel. haughti-
ness of manner. and jewery. His princi-
pal dates consist in hommering on the call
