Woodland" Childhood Home of a
Southern AuthOress.

TOWNSVILLE May 4-EditOr Nor ming NeIos
Another of those delightful drives around
Townsville is over, and this time it took us to
Woodland" the childhood home OF Mary T.
Bryan. The residence is situated on the brow
of one of the many hills which surround the
pleasant little city-a creek almost encircles
the foot of the hill The fields of cotton, In
clan corn, sugar cane. etc, cover the slope
from the homestead enclosure to the green
bordering of the creek, forming fine picture
The house is one of those single story, square
hip rooted buildings Of many decades. On
the north side it is shaded by grove or
enormous red oaks, to the south and west ex
tensive orchards, whey ards, etc to the east
the flower garden, once celebrated for its RI re
collection of shrubs and flowers, but the
entire premises exhibit neglect of years past
The struggling honeysuckle, jasmine, wood
bine, rosevine, the elegant pettisporum, foot
in diameter at the base (many of its largest
limbs split or cut OF, the untrimmed box and
the graceful acacia. marred as if by a careless

the gentle hands of by-gone years gathered
a bunch of wild violets as memento OF the
home made joyous by the author Of Cutting
Pobbies' Hair, and 1.-The Hour When We Shall
Meet Again" The golden thread that linked
her to this childhood home has long been sew
cred. The home was settled nearly sixty
years ago, and q citizen informed me
that it is also the birth place of
the present editor Of that most excellent
magazine, The Southern Farmers Monthly
Woodland was also the home in later years OF
Mrs Cornelia Grant of Savannah; and Rev.
Charles Grant, the first Episcopal Rector o.
Townsville. and under whose supervision st.
Johns Church, of this place, was erected, also
lived and breathed his last at Woodland. The
sun shown bright while we gazed on the ro-
mantle old home Dark shadows were cast
upon the turf, and the gentle breeze among
the trees moaned like the home sigh for the
children who had wandered off to return no
more. j. w.

than half true.

The New York Chamber of Commerce
Trade Review gives some interesting
statistics of the earnings of the different
trades last year, particularly in bread
stuffs and provisions departments. 1t
calls attention to the fact that the great
increase in the shipments of breadstuffs
noted in 1880 was continued up to nearly
the close Of the fiscal year ending June
30, 1881. During that time there was
exported from this country 1918. OOG. 900
worth of flour and wheat, of which New
York contributed $94. 900, 900 worth
The grain exports were $27O, 0OO,00 of
which New York contributed $123,-
100000 worth. These figures
of total exports show a de-
crease on the record of the previous year
of $13, 200, 600 in the case of wheat and
-four and SIS, 100000 in the case of
grain. Fresh beef, the review further
says, continues to increase in the guam
tity exported Last year the exports
advanced to SO, 600, 600 pounds, as against
81 100000 in 1880, and $4,000, 900 in
1879. The value of this eXporta
ton was nearly 100000. Salt
beef, on the other hand, shows
decline in its exports, the amount having
decreased from 100000 pounds in
1880 to %, 600, 900 in 1881. There was
decrease also in the expectation of ham
and bacon from 513, OO0,O 900 pounds in
1880 to 491. zoo, 900 pounds in 1881. The
total value of this export, however, rep
resents an excess over the previous
year, being $4,000, 600 against SOL,
OOO. 900 in 1880. OF this trade New York
gained $4S, 1000, 900. The value of live
beef exported was SIG, ZOO, 900, repre-
sented in 44S,GO0 head, the export of
1880 being 100000. New York received
over 5000, 900 of the above amount.
The country exported $35, 900, 900 worth
of lard, New York shipping thereof
500, 100000 worth. and $16,000,0O0
worth of cheese, all but 81 .0OO, 900 worth
of which was contributed by that city.
The export trade in oysters remains
about stationary, the total exports
amounting to nearly 5000. 900, of which
New York sent abroad $500, 900 worth.
The whole record of the provision trade
consequently shows an increase over
1880, the statistics giving a total expor-
tation of $3.50. 900, 900 against 1928. OOO.-
900 in $780, OF this vast sum of money
the metropolis received sos, 900, 900 in
SOturn for its share of provision ex-
ports.

A table which isprintC by the London
Economist shows that while the United
States is losing ground in compar isOn
with Great Britain in the matter of mer-
chant marine, it is not the only country
in that case. The table shows what pro-
portion of the shipping entered at and
cleared from the ports Of each country
was foreign in specified years. 1t APP
pears that whereas in 1860 less than fifty
nine per cent. of the shipping enter
ing and departing from French
ports was foreign, in 1880 the
proportion was seventy per cent. Rus
STA, Germany, Italy and Spain show
similar state of affairs. The only differ
ence between these cases and our own is
one Of degree. but it is a great differ
ence. In 1860 only Twenty-Five per
cent. of the shipping entering or depart
ing from eur ports was foreign. but In
1881 the proportion was eighty-two per
cent, larger. in fact, than that Of any
ther country except Russia.

Our Timber Wealth.

Discussing the above subject, the st.
Louis Republican warns the people OF the
United States that they little dream when
they skim the cream from the virgin
soil of the West, and send ii to Europe
in the shape of wheat, and fell the mon
arch trees of their forests by the million
every year, that they are making wanton
drafts on the sources of their wealth
which it will take generations of careful
effort to repair. 1t warns them that
they, and perhaps their children, may
not suffer any great inconvenience from
the loss of the riches they are so profit
gately dissipating; but their children's
children will hardly pass away without
suffering by the great mistake. 1t says
in many parts of the country the
white pine tree is almost unknown,
and the walnut and ash are going
the way it went. The oak is still to be
found in nearly every part of the coun-
try, indeed, but it has lost much of its
former grandeur and glory. The large
trees have been diligently hunted out
and chopped down, and what are left
are gnarled stunted and Insignificant re-
minders of the old majesty of this noble
tree. In the middle belt of States the
poplar, with its blossoms sprinkled with
honey dew, is fast disappearing, and the
sycamore is rarely found of respectable
size, except along the banks of streams.
1t is supposed that the pineries of the
far North are inexhaustible, and will
furnish the country with bountiful
supply of lumber for ages to come; but
it was stated in the recent Forestry Con-
gress at Cincinnati that the white pine,
spruce, birch and tamarac are being de-
strOyed so fast that soon none will be
left that have any commercial value.
Professor Little, of Canada, estimates
that the supply of merchantable white
pine in the lower British provinces will
be used up in ten years, and he asserts
that if the waste of forests continues to
go on at the present rate, the time will
come when it will cost more than all our
exports of grain and cotton bring to
supply the United States with timber for
building and repairing purposes.
These warnings should be needed
throughout the Union everywherC-in
Georgia and Florida as well as in Massa-
chusetts or Missouri. Our forests are
ample now, it is true, and our supply of
timber apparently inexhaustible; but, year
after year, as railroads are being built,
farms are being increased, and the South
is being settled up and developed, greater
and ever increasing demands are being
made upon our forests, and in less than
three generations hence, unless their de-
nu1ation is stopped or provided against
in some way, the want of valuable timber
will be seriously felt. Our people can
not show too great an interest in this
subject. Indiscriminate destruction of
our Southern forests, with no regard
whatever to their being replenished with
desirable trees, will, no matter how
plentiful such trees may be at present,
in the not very distant future, prove an
act of folly which will surely be re-
GREETED.

If Dir. Blaine was really only sOlici
tous about the rights of other American
citizens than himself when he instructed
the United States Minister to Peru to
countenance no treaty of peace which
did not provide for the Landreau claim
he was guilty Of nothing very out
rageOus. The trouble is that he lost his
temper when he was questioned on that
point, and that is why that bright young
man. Mr.. Belmont, had him at so great
a disadvantage. And whether the charge
is true or false, the fact that he did lose
his temper hiss created an impression,
which it will be hard to efface, that he
did feel direct personal interest in that
claim.
