hers. Few countries are now more barrel
of timber, although tradition AYERS that
squirrel could once travel from tree t,

In the course of few years the North
ern Pacific railroad will run through al
avenue of shade trees hundreds of miles il
length. This extensive tree planting il
being done to protect the road from
storms and snow-drifts. In addition tt
having a large gang of men at this worl
between Fargo and Bismark, in Dakota
the officers have distributed immense
quantities of seedlings and cuttings to the
farmers settled on the land grant, and of
fered prizes for skill in forestry.
The Republican troubles in New York
Pennsylvania and New Hampshire ''do not
grow out of any difference of princi ples,' ,
so the Lewiston Journal tells its confiding
| constituents, ''but out OF the personal am
bitions of woula-be leaders," This may
do to tell to the marines in Androscoggin
Franklin and Somerset, but beyond that
charmed circle it won't pass muster. Even
dyed-in-the-wool Democrat will admit
that there are considerable number of
Republicans in New York who are sincere
in fighting forgery and fraud, and large
number in Pennsylvania and New H.mp-
shire who are honest in their opposition to
bossism and bribery.
The burning of Mr.. Abbey's New York
theater at time when it had special value
to him, as Mrs. Langtry, the Jersey lily"
was about to make her debut there, will
be deeply regretted by the great public
that is indebted to Mr.. Abbey for produc-
ing frst-class novelties in elegant style,
and introducing to the people this side the
water some of the foremost dramatic and
lyric stars of the world. Bat Mr.. Abbey's
enterprise has risen superior to worse di-
lemmas than this, and while his misfor-
tune entails loss and serious Inconvenience,
it will prove but temporary, and
the new phoenix, we venture 10 say,
will prove even more attractive than the
original bird.
The New Orleans Times Democrat of a
recent date says: Poverty and obscurity
have overtaken many of the old French
nobility, but it would be hard to find
sadder case of fallen fortunes than that of
Madame Charlemont. She was married
when she was eighteen years old to her
cousin, an officer in the imperial army.
When the empire fell her husbands occu-
ton, lost 100000, all he had, and died
broken-hearted. The widow gave lessons
in English, German and music until she
was too old to find em p loyment, and then.
at the age of sixty -four, went to the poor
house. There she remained for thirty
years, and thence she was carried a few
days ago, to the potter's field.
Thirty six prominent citizens of La
coma, including both Democrats and Re-
publicans, have united in an offer of $500
reward for the arrest and conviction of any
person guilty of hiring any citizens of the
town to vote Or refrain from voting at the
ensuing election. In 10 state in the Union
have elections been more corrupt than in
New Hampshire, and in no other state, re-
gard being had to the number OF inhabi-
itants, has so great a sum of money been
habitually used to corrupt and control
elections. The thirty-six citizens of La
coma have set an excellent example for
those of other towns to follow. We notice,
also, that number of other gentlemen,
headed by Col. John A. George, are taking
similar action without regard to any par
ticular town in the state. Heretofore no
organized attempt has been made to puri-
fy the ballot in New Hampshire, but now
that good men of both parties are a unit
in working for the desired reform, there
ought to be good results.
