PoT-LucK: In 1852, John Potts, poor
hardworking blacksmith of Carbonate,
Pennsylvania, adopted poor little girl, and
as she grew up gave her fine education,
extending through even an academic course.
Two years after she had graduated she dis
appeared, and Mr.. Potts saw no more OF
her until, two weeks ago, she came to his
house, as Mrs. James Rutlege, the wife OF
Pittsburg millionaire. The rich Mrs. Rut-
lege had but few words to waste on The poor
Mr.. Potts, but they were to the effect that
she had paid off the mortgages on his place,
contracted for monument over the grave
of Mrs. Potts, and should take him to her
Pittsburg home, which she did, giving him
$4,000 in United States bonds when she
got him there. The end.

COUNT TAAFFE, prime minister of Aus
tria, gives the Hebrews something better
than taffy, for he has issued stringent orders
forbidding anti-Jewish demonstrations in
the Austro- Hungarian empire, and declar-
ing the purpose of the government to pro-
tect the rights of every subject, regardless
of politics or religion. This is good for an
effete monarchy. In Germany the Juden-
hetxe has been killed off, not by the author
tiles, but by revulsion of popular feeling.
In Russia, however, both people and govern
ment hold still while the ignorant rabble
keep on with their prosecutions. The good
name of that country would be greatly bur
nished up oy an imitation of Austria in the
treatment of the Jews.

Ir appears from the programme which IBID

IT appears from the programme which he
developed at Liverpool the other day that
Lord Salisbury is disposed to adopt the tao
tics of the famous statesman, now deceased,
with whom four years ago he was so intl-
mately associated. He has undertaken to
educate his party for the same purpose and
in much the same spirit as Lord Beacons-
field when he undertook to persuade the
Conservatives that it.was their mission to
give Great Britain the reform bill OF 1867.
The Liberals, it may be remembered, had
brought in bill extending the suffrage,
which they were unable to carry, and the
Conservatives, under Mr.. Dlsraelrs lead,
after having secured office by defeating it.,
kept their places by taking it up and push
ing it through. Very much in the same
way Lord Salisbury proposes to supplant
the ineffective Land bill bya measure which
will turn the Irish tenants into peasant
proprietors. 1t would be strange enough II
the Conservatives were to accept the idea,
and still more strange if they were to carry
ii into effect.

CONCORD Monitor: A Democratic sheet
in this State processes to believe that Mr..
Blaine is buying up Democratic newspapers
with view to the Presidency on Demo-
cratic ticket in 1884. 1t is sure, however,
that any such plan will fail because the
Democratic party is party of principle and
cannot be influenced by any scheme which
looks solely to the control OF the offices.
Now Mr.. Blaine is the very last man in the
United States who would entertain scheme
OF this kind; but were he so minded we
haven't doubt that he could control the
next Democratic nomination. What Hor-
ace Greeley did in 1872 might be done by
Mr.. Blaine, Gen. Grant, or even ex-senator
Conkllng in 1884, if either one OF them
could hold out reasonable prospect OF sue
cess to the hungry followers of Bourbonism.

AMERICAN FORESTS.
The Aia1 ming isapitiity With Which Their
Destruction Is Going On.

The Aia1 ming Rapidly With Which Their
Destruction Is Going On.
From Harper's Magazine.
In our own country We have gone to the
forests in kind Of freebooter style, cut
acting for the most part as though all the
length, after a 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 it is only the few who
seem now to HAYS an adequate sense of our
condition as effected by the threatened
loss of the trees. In recent publication,
issued by authority of one Of our Western
States for the express purpose of
attracting settlers from European
countries. The statistics of its great
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 be de-
stroyed. The cool unconcern in regard to
the future shown in this is very NOTICEABLE.
After us, the 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 for it and pay for the farm.
The owner estimates that there will
be 500 cords of market wood" And 80, all
ever the country, on the large scale and on
the small, the ak is laid at the roots of our
trees, and our forests are disappearing. It
is estimated that 100000 acres Of fores
land are cleared every year and that in the
ten years previous to 1876, 10000, 600 acres
were burned over simply to clear the land.

ULTRA STYLE OF A HOTEL CLERK
Some Pleasant Pecualicities of That Truly
Wonderful Being.
From the New York Traveller

Some Pleasant Pecualisities of That Truly
Wonderful Being.
From the New York Traveller.
The hotel clerk is young man who was
originally created to fill an Emperor's
throne or adorn Dnkedom, but when he
grew up there being fewer thrones and
dukedOms than there were Empero:s and
Dukes, he was temporarily forced to take
position behind a hotel register. His chief
characteristics are dignity and bearing,
radiant gorf eousness of apparel, heughti-
ness of manner. and jewelry. His princi.
pal duties consist in hammering on the call
bell, in handing guests the wrong keys to
their rooms, and in keeping supply OF
toothpicks on the end of the desk. When
all his tina is not taken up in the perform
ance Of these arduous duties, he will conde-
scend to explain to a guest that he does
not know whether the northhound train
leaves at 3p. m. or Tot, and If the guest
insists on enticing further information out
OF him, he will probably hand him last years
official railroad time table. When strang-
er comes in on late train, jams his valise
down on the counter, and approaches the
registor, the hotel clerk, in preoccupied
and austere manner, turns the register and
hands the stranger pen pen that has an
per, and splutters fragments of the guests
hume all over yesterdays ARRIVALS. The
clerk after turning around the register and
examining the signature to see if it is gen.
uine, expresses some doubt as to there be-
ing vacant room in the house. The strang-
or says he is bound to have room. The
clerk retires back of the desk and after
consulting pigeon holes, concludes that the
gentleman may have No. 1892. He writes
some hieroglyphics on the register, and
then he talks for half an hour with the potr-
or and the baggage man about the trunk of
the gentleman in No. 46, having got mixed
up with the baggage belonging to the gent
leman in No. GA. When he gets that mat
ter arranged he sits down to polish and ad-
mire the long nails he is cultivating on his
little finger. and forgets the gentleman who
has rented No. 1899 until he is made aware
of his existence by an impatient tap on the
counter. With the air of martyr, and
sigh, he says. "Ah! would you like to 60 to
your room?"
Then John shows the gentleman to No.
1882.
No matter how crowded hotel is, the
hotel clerk always finds one room left for
the atearrival. When the latter kicks about
it, when he is leaving next day, because it
was on the fifth floor, and was furnished
with nothing but bed, bar of soap, and
a crack in the ceiling. the clerk tells him
that if he had only been staying another
day, he could have had an excellent room,
in fact the best room in the house, which
would be vacated after breakfast, by gen.
tleman who was leaving on the noon train.
To our own knowledge, the gentleman haA

in the house." every Tomorrow for the last
