Grants Financial Dovnfall.

New York Special: Sympathy is felt for Gen.
Grant, who has transferred his property to
William H. Vanderbilt to protect him on q
worthless check for Sl50,OOO, accepted by him
in return for his own. The generals transfer
includes two houses in Washington, house in
Philadelphia and farm of considerable size

The Ohio State Forestry Association
has lately issued pamphlet of some six
ty-four pages, entitled "Trees and Tree
planting" which contains much matter
which, if generally read, could do much
to arouse the people to the Importance
Of the subject. No part of the matter
presented would do more, probably, to
show tho seriousness of the danger which
lies in the destruction of American for
ests than that giving concisely the re-
suits of the deforestation of other lands,
and this is done by reference to Palestine
which, was, when Joshua conquered
the Promised Land, country of WON
derful fertility, having delightful eli
mate, and with its mountains covered
by forests. The forests have been cut
down, the river Jordan has dwindled to
An insignificant stream, and the country
is not fit to sustain ne-sixth of such q
population as it supported in abundance
at.the time of Solomon. Similar results
form the same cause as reported in
Spain, Sicily, Italy, and in every part
of the habitable world where man has
cleared the ground of forests, while Ger
many by wise management of the for
ests been able to maintain vast armies
where once the sandy deserts would not
nourish flock of goats, and successive
regiments of hardy soldiers have poured

years ago, the rugged debris Of winter

The difficulty OF reaching personal
property for the purpose Of taxation
has made this question lively issue in
some of the eastern states, and q Mas
sachusetts Legislative committee hos
agreed to report bill for tax of two
per cent on all property real and per-
sonal, either by will or without, the tax
to be paid by the administrator of the es-
tate before he pays over its proceeds to
the heirs, exempting a fixed amount of
$1,000. Il has the merit of reaching
personal property once in a generation
to say the least. Vermont made very
stringent law several years ago, and the
result has been that personal prop
orty in that state now pays its share
of taxes into the state and local treasur-
les. In the cities and large towns at
the. west personal property, in many
cases, virtually escapes taxation, owing
the diff Guilty of reaching it and IL Q pre-
valence of perjury on the part of the
owners and gross negligence or worse,
on the part of assessors.

The last army scandal created by the
conduct of Gen. Swain and Col. Nor
row is deeply regretted by honorable
officers everywhere and by the friends
of the army. Many of these things are
due to the growth of luxury and extrav-
agance at the seat of government,
where many officers are necessarily To-
Gated and are expected to maintain the
highest position in fashionable life with
out regard to the question of financial
ability to do so. To a lesser degree
these unfortunate conditions are felt in
every department, even to the remotest
and most secluded posts. There is evi-
dent need of reform that shall re.
move the cause of these frequent scan.
tals, and that reform must come from
the officers themselves, and not from
outside influences.

Almost the entire revenue received in
Great Britain from customs is from less
thar dozen articles. There was gain
of two per cent. in the total revenue last
year, which reached 4116, 972, 1855,
This increase was due to larger impor-
tations of tea and spirits. While the
consumption of wine was smaller, the
use of coffee and tea increased materil
ally, fact which ought to afford pleas
ure to temperance people. The i'm
port duties are mainly from tea, rum,
brandy, wine, fruits, tobacco and cigars,
and coffee, in about the order named.

thority on astronomy, has been trac.
ing the "star Of Bethlehem" and find.
that what may have been that star has
appeared twenty-four times in the last
two thousand years, and that there is a
possibility that the long lost star OF
Bethlehem, the Pilgrim Star, the Star
of 1872, or Tycho Brahe's Star-for it
is known by all these names-will once
more become shining wonder in the
sky. Such celestial visitor will be
warmly welcomed by astronomers, and
far more acceptable than great comet
spanning the heavens with its gossamer
tail.
