THE international forestry exhibition, to be
held next year at Edinburgh, Scotland, is likely
to prove of great practical and scientific value.
The programme of arrangements indicates that
the exhibition will cover a wide field. Practi-
cal forestry will include huts implements,
models of machines for moving trees by land
and water and woodworking machinery of
every description. Scientific forestry will deal
with the botany of the forests, forest entomol-
ogy, preventative processes and similar sub
jects. Growing specimens of rare and orna-
mental plants, rustic work and dried orna-
mental objects of vegetarian origin will be
in view. No country is or should be more in
terested in this exhibition than the United
States

THERE is almost universal condemnation Of
the infamous stuff sent cut to the public by
Mr.. E. T. johnson respecting his dead wife,
The Cincinnati Enquirer, which has printed it
all, said editorially, yesterday:
"Captain johnson, of Tennessee, who is
figuring so conspicuously in domestic scan
dial at indianapolis, is rapidly disgusting peo-
pie, and should retire southwark. By pub
fishing lot of letters from his wife, in which
she confessed to him with bleeding heart to
having fallen a victim to villains wiles,
Captain johnson succeeded in establishing her
shame, to say nothing of his own. Not con-
tent with this, he furnished the world, on
New Years day, with an elaborate affidavit
in which he told all he knew of his wife's Sc
duction, and it appeared that he knew great
deal Again, to-day, the Captain comes to
the front with still another statement the
purpose of which seems to be to make still
clearer his wife's infdelity. And yet this wife
is in her grave, dead by her own hand, a vic
tim of remorse for her sin. There is nothing
further the Captain can do in this matter,
unless he chisels the poor woman's confession
on her tombstone"

A TRAMP is not always the vicious, migrate
full creature he is commonly represented. A
hungry specimen of the class stopped at the
house of Pennsylvania farmer on Sunday,
md begged for food. After eating a hearty
meal he departed but returned half an hour
later with information that an ice field on a
steep hill Immediately above the house showed
signs of moving The family had barely time
to escape with the most valuable of their eff
fects, when an avalanche of snow, ice and
rocks descended completely covering and
crushing the house and other farm buildings.
The farmer probably regards that tramp as an
angel unawares and is glad he entertained him.

murderers everywhere were hanged promptly
or could be convicted as easily as negro assas-
sins, there might be a reform" This is true,
so far as the South is concerned. Law in its
most revengeful aspect is melted out to colored
criminals, while white men go acquit. In the
North law is enforced fitfully, and the result
is Generalization. The cure for all the
troubles, North and South, is sound public
sentiment and the equal and exact enforce
ment of law,

THE new year bids fair to rival the old in
the way of horrors and loss of life, if we may
judge by the record of the first two days.
The tragedy list opens with a railroad acct
dent yesterday on the Grand Trunk railway
at Toronto, in'which twenty-seven were killed
and several fatally injured -Four men were
drowned in the Ohio on the same day, and six
lives were lost by the breaking of dam in
Michigan. These, in addition to an unusual
number of murders and suicides, give promise
of year full of dire events.

THE people of Terre Haute are generally
compelling the telephone company to take out
the instruments in use in that city. The
cause is the exactions of the exchange and the
price charged. The rent asked and collected
in Indianapolis is much larger than in Terre
Haute, and, without question, gives the com
pany an enormous profit But the telephone
is one of the monopolies to which the people
are compelled to submit for time; but the
time is not far distant, and indeed now is,
when the knell is sounding for the termina-
ton of monopolistic and corporate power.
That is one of the questions to which there is
only one solution.

THE solicitude of the Washington Post
Democratic organ, in regard to the treatment
which Mr.. Blaine is receiving at the hands of
correspondents and President-makers is truly
touching. The Post loves Mr.. Blaine, and
fears that his political prospects may be in
jured by the irresponsible gossip floating about
What it would really like to know, and what,

THE Greensburg Standard has the following
item of special interest:
Professor David Swing, of Chicago, who is a
warm personal friend of Governor Cumback, of
this city, gave him for Christmas gift the sill
yer goblet that belonged to President Abraham
Lincoln. Mrs. Lincoln had given it to poor
woman who had attended her in her sickness.
This woman was a member of Mr.. Swings con-
gregation at Chicago, and her good and kind pas
tor had often assisted her in her poverty. She
gave him this cup as an evidence of her graft
tude. AS Governor Cumback was a personal
friend of Mr. Lincoln, and was at the head of the
electoral ticket in 1860, Mr.. Swing gave the COB
let to him-a present that he prizes more than
words can tell"

next number of that paper will be issued under

in getting out two in an unconscious condi-

succeed in finding the other boy 1t afterward
