Profits of Forest Culture.

The increase of interest in tree culture
of late years has been remarkable. When
tree culture is mentioned it is not intend
ed to include fruit culture, but the plant
ing and cultivating of forest trees for the
/ production Of timber or bark. Most per-
sons, when they think Of planting trees,
exclude all idea Of profit in the near fu-
/ ture and consider that their labor and
pains are exclusively for the benefit Of
posterity.
1t has been demonstrated in various in
stances, however, that there is profit in
forest culture. A document recently is
sued by the Department OF Agriculture
asserts that only the better class Of wheat
or meadow land nets a greater average
revenue in > years than well managed
forests.
There is an almost unlimited demand
for timber to be used in the manufacture
OF furniture, wagons, carriages and
implements Of various kinds, and the
demand seems to be increasing as the
supply of timber of natural growth suit
able for these purposes decreases. OF the
varieties Of trees especially recommended
for cultivation one is hickory, the nuts of
which are planted thickly. In four or
five years more hoop poles can be sold
from the land than will pay for the total
outlay tor the land and crop and large
percentage on the money, and enough
timber will be left to make a most valuable
harvest in three Or four years more of
material for spokes, ak handles, etc.
Black locust makes timber large enough
| for fence posts, the best in the world, in
eight years from the seed. one to two
thousand posts can be raised to the acre,
and almost anywhere they will bring
from 20 to 30 cents each. This timber
makes the finest hubs in the world.
The catalpa is said to make the best
railroad ties in the world. 1t is easily
raised from the seed, and grows very rap
idly indeed.
Its asserted that land planted in black
walnut trees will be more valuable than
many gold mines in twenty-five years.
The chestnut oak In twelve years from
the acorn is said to produce a perennial
crop of tan bark, which is very valuable,
and is becoming more so every year.
The best thing about forest culture is
its Responsiveness. Waste land can be
planted by farm laborers when nothing
else can be done, and the crop grows year
by year with little or no attention until it
is ready for the AK. Hundreds of farmers
will no doubt soon turn their attention to
this interesting subject.

Peculiarities of the Cabinet officers.
From a Vasbin0ton ,gnsciaI

In the opinion of a Connecticut Yankee
here, who has been watching developments.
Mr.. Whitney is "Jest the biggest rustler in
the Cabinet" Mr.. Lamar enjoys the disunc-
tion of having the biggest heart IN general
estimation. He has let the Little Sisters Of
the Poor come into the Interior building and
solicit subscriptions Of the clerks as they go
out. This concession naturally elicits wall
from the clerks, but MIR Lamar clearly thinks
the amount they give in charity during the
year won't hurt them. Mr.. Bayard's sy M
pathetic idiosyncracy is in the direction of
the state Department library. II Is with a

New York's Relic of Barbarism.

There is a fair prospect that the New
York Legislature VIII repeal the law au-
thOrizing Imprisonment for debt on final
process in civil actions, which has long
disgraced the statute book of that State.
At the last session of the Legislature a
special committee investigated the sub
iect and made a special report recon-
mending the repeal of the law, and a SINH
lar bill has been passed by the present
Senate, and is now before the Assembly.
Imprisonment for debt, as understood
in the past generation, has not been legal
in New York for a good many years.
None are now subject to Imprisonment
eXceptthOse who arc charged with fraud
IN mourning debt, or with disposing OF
their property N order to delraud cred
itors, and these may obtain their dis
charge ON proving their innocence; but ii
is claimed that many poor persons who
are unable to employ counsel and to
properly conduct their defense are
incarcerateG wrongtully, and their
dependent families thus deprived
Of the support to which they are
entitled. 1t is claimed that unmercirul
creditors are enabled by the present law
to confne their debtors in jail as long as
they choose to have them held. and that
Z the law, which looks so fair and hOnora-
BILE, is really an engine Of oppression.
Debtors who have no rich or influential
friends have frequently fingered in iails
for months, and even years, receiving the
/ poorest of fare, the jailers being allowed
very little for their support, and often
being subjected to indignities and abuse.
1 These facts were established in the inves-
/ LEGATION made last year.

has very excellent code Of criminal
laws relating to cheating, obtaining goods
or money under false pretenses. etc.
Such laws as these are necessary in
every country, but they should be en-
forced as other criminal laws, the accused
being accorded the right to a fair and
impartial trial. Whatever may be said
/ against the practice of contracting bills
which the debtor is unable to pay, he can
not be made to pay by Imprisonment.
| Civil actions for debt should be directed
against the property of the debtor. I'M
prisonment for debt under civil process is
against the spirit Of the age, aud it will
not be much longer tolerated in New
York.
