A Bounty on Ruin.

The floods which are devastating the
Ohio valley again this year as they did
last call forth observations made year
ago OF these none is more patent than
that the tariff on lumber is simply
bounty for the production Of such ruin
as is now read of daily.
The tariff excludes Canadian timber
and raises the price of lumber in the
home market.
The high prices and big profits tempt
people to the rapid destruction OF the
forests to the very mountain tops,
aud woods are ruthlessly swept away
and into the market, which under the
low prices of free trade would be left
standing.
In this needless way the forests at
the head waters of our streams are lev
clled and the snow-covered mountain
sides are laid bare to sun and rain and
the action Of the open air.
The foliage which held the moisture
as in great sponge and protected the
snow from sudden melting, giving
forth the water slowly during spring
and summer, to sustain the streams
and enrich the valleys, is gone; and
the first thaw and rain hurl down the
whole precipitation of season into the
narrow channels of the rivers, which
being unable to do the work of sea-
son properly in few days, overflow
their banks and cause widespread ruin
and unspeakable woe.
Nor is this ALL The whole rain and
snow fall of a winter being thus hur-
ried to the sea before spring has fairly
opened, no moisture is left in the up
lands to supply the water needed in the
spring aud summer. Great droughts
follow, the smaller streams show dry
beds, the rivers dwindle into insigni6-
canoe, fertile plains and valleys suffer
from thirst, and vegetation dries up.
This is no fancy picture. The Ohio
River which promises TO pass-if it has
not already done so-the highest water
mark ever before recorded on it, last
summer fell to an unprecedently low
stage. The actual experience of men
in every long-settled country is that
| wholesale destruction Of the forest en-
tails the destruction of the life-giving
streams, with all the consequences that
follow. Much of southern Europe has
been made desert wastes by the de-
struction of forests through ign orance.
With the experience of ages to profit
by, we cannot plead ignorance, yet we
are recklessly pursuing course that
has done irreparable damage to other
lands. The head waters of the Ohio
tributaries in the Pennsylvania and
West Virginia mountains are stripped.
The people of New York are alarmed
for the noble Hudson, and with reason.
Rivers are made destructive powers in
the winter and early spring, and are
robbed of their power of beneficence in
the late spring and summer. All the
rivers in the Northwest are beginning
to undergo the same sad experience.
There can be no useful streams if
the forests are cut away. The reckless
cutting of the forests will continue
while the Government offers pension
for their destruction. Without going
into the general question of the tariff
at all, it does seem clear that the pro-
hibtory tariff on lumber ought not TO
be continued. Yet it will be continued
for some time, and probably until most
of our forests are destroyed,-B'ifalo

Walter Malley and Blanche Douglass Rec
ognised in Hartford Hotel.

HARTFORD, Feb. IA young man
wrote these names in the register of the
City Hotel here at noon on Saturday
last "W. S. Hubbell, Boston Miss
A. Hubbell, Boston" The young man
was of medium height and slim build.
"My sister and myself" he said as he
laid aside the pen, "would like adjoin-
ing rooms if convenient He got Nos.
7 and y connecting rooms adjoining
the parlor.
The young man went out frequently,
but his companion kept closely to her
apartment. They were late at their
meals, and encountered few of the
other guests of the hotel until Monday,
when they entered the dining room
punctually at the dinner hour. Then
Mr.. Dickerman of the firm of Dicker-
man & Plumb of this city, who has
lived in New Haven, recognized the
young man as Walter Malley, one of
the principals in the Jennie Cramer
murder trial. The other guests also
recognized him.
The young woman with him was of
medium build, plump, and wore we'll
fitting dark green dress. Her light
brown hair was arranged in two awk-
ward fiat coils on the back of her head.
She spoke little, and was evidently
held in check by her companion, who
was reticent and noticeably nervous.
Mr.. Dickerman, after his dinner,
| strolled into the hotel office and said
to the venerable proprietor, Curtis Jud-
son, formerly proprietor of the Gram
ercy Park Hotel, New York, 81 see
you had Walter Maley at dinner"
"No such person in the house" re-
sponded Mr.. Judson, exhibiting that
winning smile which he has been in
the habit of showing to his guests for
sixty years. Other guests drifted
down from the dining room, and as
sured Mr.. Judson that Malley was at
dinner up stairs, and furthermore that
his companion was Blanche Douglass,
who was tried with the Malleys in the
Cramer case. Mr., Judson went up te
see. The couple were still at dinner
The knowledge of their identity had
spread, and curious glances were ben,
upon them by other diners.
Pretty soon evidently they became
aware that they were recognized, and
they hurried to their rooms. Shortly
Walter Malley entered the Office anG
called for his bill. He said that he
chose co pay then, although he and hi
sister would stop until after tea. Every
guest in the house went punctually tC
tea, but the couple did not appear
They had gone away in the after
noon.

BLOOMSBURG, PA. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 49, 1884,
The Conscientious Workman.

The conscientious workman is a
being we all hear of, but seldom meet.
The writer has no hesitation in saying
that there are, comparatively speaking,
few workmen actuated in their calling
by any consideration beyond the mere
point of dollars and cents. And the
writer furthermore begs to observe that
in his opinion they are not in the least
TO be blamed for this {; because if there
are few workmen endued with consci.
entious feeling regarding their labors,
there are still few er employers inspired
with conscientious feeling regarding
their men. What the writer wishes to
argue out is the position, whether it
pays a workman to be conscientious, il
his employer be so or no. The writer
thinks it does, and for these reasons
a man who does his work in the same
satisfactory and expeditions manner,
under all circum umstances, is an aquisition
and those who are in authority, very
soon discover his good qualities his
light may lie hidden under bushel for
long time, but it is sure to shine out
at last. Such man as this, sober, ac-
tive, discreet, intelligent, who does his
work, not because the foreman happens
to be looking at him, but from a sense of
right and duty, such man as this will
rise in life like going up ladder. He
is in the same position as the man who
keeps his arms down in water; he can.
not sink if he tries. That is the con-
scientious workman, and people who,
after reading this, resolve to lay in a
stock of the commodity, they will find
it pay them we'll to use it, and it is like
mama to the Israelites, there is always
plenty to be had.
The writer is perfectly aware that
the average workman has generally
grounds for complaint. He will find,
however, if he has not discovered il
already, that brooding over grievances
makes them swell into mountains, and
that grumbling does no good either
If the workman has cause for dissatis.
faction, let him look his position calm
ly in the face, see whether it will be to
his interest to take active measures in
regard TO it; if the result seems doubt.
full let him make up his mind to sub
NIT cheerfully to his burden till the
time comes when he can kick it away
from him. The writer believes this is
good wholesome counsel, and will well
bear trial. Let the workman per.
form his daily duties, domestic and op
erative, with the same cheerful spirit
doing his duty because it is his duty
striving earnestly to master the Graf,
he is engaged in to its utmost limits
to improve that which he finds in ex
istence, and his lot in life will be nc
unhappy one on the contrary, he will
find hope of improvement in his
social position which will be an unfailing
fund of support to him in his calling, and
that if he exercises his stock of con
scientiousness, the more he disperses o.
it, the more he will have on hand fo1
future disposal.-B. d G. Printer a'ac

The Fatal Name Of Walter.

Forty-four years ago the writer was
called in a professional capacity to
rudely constructed log cabin in the
woods, l6 miles east of this city. A
male child was born--the first born of
man and wife--whose intelligence and
general cultivation were much in ad-
vance of the society in which they liv-
ed. They were determined to make
themselves home of plenty in the
new country by their own industry,
having nothing but quarter section
of good land and their household goods.
They came from Clearmont county,
Ohio. Three neighbor women were
there, and after the little stranger was
dressed the mother, with black hair
and beautiful eyes, was asked to name
the boy. 81 want to call him Walter,
but it is an unlucky name. My great
grandfather was named Walter, and he
never came home from the war for in
dependence. Then my husbands grand
father was named Walter, and he went
to the war of 1912 and he never re-
turned. His Oldest brother was nam
ed Walter. He went to sea and we
heard that he became a soldier in Eu-
rope, but he never returned. We do
not know where any of them are bur-
led. No grave stones mark their rest
ing places. There is no war now, and
/ trust never will be in our life time in
this country, and / am in favor of call
ing him Walter, that the old family
name may be retained among us
twenty-five years from that time
Walter bade his widowed mother fare
well to join the army for the defense
of the union and the home of his child
hood. He was good and brave boy
but was missing after the battle O.
Stone River. All efforts TO gain some
trace of his death and final resting
| place proved futile. No one can tel
where, when, or how he died, or whC
disposed of his remains. His mothe
mourned the loss of her first born, ant
often regretted that she had named
him Walter A few years ago sh,
died at the old home. On her death
bed she said Bury me beside my hus
band on the hillside, and if Walter
grave is ever found spend all the estat
l leave, if it takes that much, to bnn,
HIM home and put him by his fathe
and me, "-Indiandpolis Times.

England Makes Present to the United
States,

A message was received on Thurs
day Of last week from the President
transmitting Secretary Frelinguysen' s
report OF the presentation OF the steam
ship Alert to the United States by
Great Britain TO be used in the Greely
relief expedition The reading of the
report was called for by Mr. Randall. 1t
was as follows:
In the search for vessels suitable for
the expedition now preparing to relieve
Lieut.. Greely and his party, attention
was early directed to the Alert, which
is the property OF the British Govern
men:, aud was the advance ship of the
expedition under Sir George Mares. 1t
was desired to secure this vessel, as
she is peculiarly fitted for the intended
service, and, as the inspecting officers
recommended her, Mr.. Lowell was
therefore instructed to ask whether
she could be spared for the service.
Information of the wish of this
Government having previously and in
formally reached the British Admiral
ty, a private intimation was conveyed
to the United States Minister to the
effect that the British Government had
| not forgotten the very considerate con-
| duct OF this Government on the occa-
| sion OF the recovery of the Resolute,
and that, should any suggestion be
made that the vessel would be of use
to the expedition, she would be present
| ed.
The Resolute, vessel, as the Presi-
dent remembers, formerly belonging to
her Majestys navy, having been aban-
doned in the Arctic region, was dis
covered and brought to the United
States by American seamen, and there
upon was purchased by this Govern
ment of her salvers, repaired, and
returned to Great Britain. On her
| arrival in England the vessel was re-
ceived by the Queen in person, and the
| officers of the United States navy who
took the ship thither were treated
with every official and personal court
esy.
The Government of her Majesty has
now given the Alert to the United
States unconditionally, with her anchors,
chains and such of her equiment as can
be utilized.
Recognizing this graceful and OPP
perfume act of courtesy on the part of
her Majesty's Government, the under
signed to-day instructed Mr.. Lowell as
follows by telegraph
"Her Majesty's Government having
presented to the Government of the
United States the ship Alert to aid in
the relief of Lieut.. Greely and his par.
ty, you will inform the Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs that the evl
dence of sympathy with the object in
view receives the highest appreciation
of the President, as it will that of the
people of the United States. The
President sends his cordial thanks for
the opportune gift of this vessel, which
he accepts in the name of the United
States, and which will be used in the
humane enterprise for which it is pecu
liarly adapted.
A motion was made by Mr.. Ran
dali that the communication be spread
upon the Journal of the House, anC
that it be referred to the Committee
on Foreign Affairs with the object O.
having more formal and appropriate
recognition of the act of the British
Government.

Most of our readers have probably
heard that when dog is snake bitten
a fungus snake of the same species
that bit him formed on his liver, and
appeared to be endowed with all the
vitality of the real or original reptile.
Many years ago in this county, one
who was a great hunter had valuable
dog bitten by snake, and after great
trouble saved his dogs life. Some
months afterward he noticed a peculiar
motion in his dogs side, from which
time the dog seemed in bad health, and
finally died. Actuated by curiosity, the
gentleman opened the dog, and, to his
utter astonishment found two snakes
of the species which bit his dog, some
six or eight inches long, hanging to
his liver. The dogs liver was hung up
in tree, where it remained for long
time, and was seen by hundreds of peo
pie, many of whom are still alive and
will testify to the above facts. - Wal

How to Dream Intelligent Dreams

1t is known that the action of
the brain causes a rise of cranial tenn
peraturc. M. Delaunay finds, from
experience on himself during sleep,
that, reciprocally, an elevation of era
nial temperature stimulates the action
of the brain. Dreams are usually H.
logical and absurd, NJ Delaunay, by
covering his forehead with a layer of
wadding, gets sane, intelligent dreams.
He has also experimental on modes of
lying, which favor the flow of blood
TO particular parts, increasing their nu-
triticn and functional activity. He
has observed that the dreams one has
while lying on ones back are sensorial,
variegated, luxurious. Those expert
enced when on the right side are mo-
bile, full of exaggcration, absurd, and
refer to old matters but those produc-
ed when on the left side are intelligent
and reasonable, and relate to recent
matters in these dreams one often
speaks, The observations, according
to the author agrees with what we
know as to the seat of sensibiity, of
mobility, of intelligence, etc, and the
comparative psychology of the right
and left brains.-English Mechanic.
