THE DESTRUCTION OF FORESTS.
DIR. Prime Draws Some differences From til,
Connecticut Valley.

DIR. Prime Draws Some differences From the
Connecticut Valley.
From tho American.
DIR. Prime, OF the New York journal of
Commerce, in a recent letter describes the
Connectic river, under the conditions
which have been created by the cutting of
the forests, and tho Improvement" of the
stream. He says:
The Connecticut river, given over to the
timber-drivers has become canal. Reefs
are blasted out. Bulkbeads are built TO turn
the current into central channels. The
melting SHOWS, no longer held back in the
spongy moses of the forests, and the spring
rains are hurried swiftly down in freshets
which destroy property in the lower country.
The freshets are utilized to bring down
every spring the timber from thousands of
acres, where no pine wood will ever grow
again. The summer comes, hot and dry,
with low water in the rivers, which were
formerly full all the summer from the slow
drain out of the dark shades OF the upper
country. The natural reservoirs of water
are gone, and all the water comes down with
a rush after every rain. Manufacturing COM
panies everywhere have found ii necessary
to make artificial reservoirs to take the place
of the lost natural reservoirs. Hills that
wero once forestcovered are bleak masses of
rock, growing drier year by year. If there
was ever an instance of killing the goose
that lays golden eggs, it is in this method
of treating our northern forests. In hun
dreds OF valleys where water was abundant
in former years, the water line in the ground
is now below the reach of ordinary wells.
The tendency is toward that condition which
in a century or two will compel resort to
irrigation Tor ordinary agricultural pur-
poses"
p *
The concluding sentence seems bold one
and yet it may easily prove most clear
sighted prophecy. The meteorological con-
ditions, as they relate TO the cultivation of
the soil aud the production of crops, have
been greatly affected in the older parts OF the
United States. 1t is within the intimate
knowledge Of all how the swamps have been
drained, the low wet places dried out by
culture how 'meadows" of forty years ago
have lost that designation, having become

Ir is one of the amazing facts in household
economy that nearly all the provisions in
building are made with a view TO keeping
warm in winter, and few or none looking to
keeping cool in summer As the Boston
AdUertiscr remarks "The red brick walls
are seldom covered with light paint to reflect,
rather than to absorb, the heat the windows
and doors lack the generous dimensions
which would permit the entrance of abund-
ant draughts of al, and there is no such con.
nection between the various apartments as
will insure an equable as we'll rs cool tenn
pera'rre. The cellar, where nobody abides,

The upper roovIs arc Affected by the heat of
the kitchen o.fhat Of the roof and the cool
ing off process which evening brings for the
brick walls is obtained at the expense of the
outer air which comes heated into tho dwell
ling" One of the best means of keeping q
house endurable in summer time Is that
adopted in some New Orleans and Baltimore
dwellings. 1t consists i'm the building of a
house with q large inner court, opening into
the various rooms and communicating with
the roof. This iusures some air circulation
in the hottest weather. A plan for lowering
the temperature of room, said to work with
flannel or other woolen stuff across the win
dows after dipping them in water, the pro
cess of evaporation giving refreshing cool
ness to the air. There is big field of use
tulness open for an architect who can con

winter, nor too warm in summer.

LANCASTER. JULY -, 1855.
Lancaster's New Postmaster.

The appointment by President Cleveland
of Mr.. Henry E. Slaymaker to be post
master of Lancaster, is a very good one.
It will command the very general approba-
tion of the Democrats, and it will chal-
lenge the almost universal respect of the
Republicans.
The removal of Mr.. Marshall was right
and proper. Although an experienced and
for the most part efficient officer he was all
that is implied by the term "offensive par
tisan;" and In no local or general cam
paign did he desist from the exercise of his
greatest activities for the Republican and
against the Democratic party. His clerks
and letter-carriers, with his appreciation,
it is1o be presumed, have always been the
active politicians of their wards, and NO
principle of civil service reform would
have justified his retention.
The active aspirants for the succession
as well as those who may have INDUCED in
the hope that the appointment might cemt
their way without solicitation, have be
hayed seemly and with dignity. Ther,
was no danger from the character O
those within the range of possible appoint
ment that any discredit would come to tn,
Democracy from the choice made; am
the relations of the candidates and tn,
manner of their canvass were such that i
a. left no traces of bitterness behind; an,
all good Democrats can congratulate them
selves that a faithful member of thei
party, an upright and popular citizen, an,
thoroughly qualified man has receive,
this appointment.

IT was expected that the wine product OF
California for 1885, would be 20, ,000, 900 gal
Ions, because of the increase in the acreage
OF vines, but cold spring has brought the
product down to 15,00O,000 gallons, which
was about the product of 1854. This, how
ever, need give no alarm to those who de-
light to look upon and drink the contents of
the wine cup lying red within the bowl
French winemakers have proyerb that the
years of drought are the years of grand
quality aud the years of excessive rain are
the years OF poor quality. A recent contri-
putor to the San Francisco AHo Californian,
writes that the Charbono, so valuable
for color in bringing up light-col-
ored wines to the desired depth, have
suffered much in some places from the
couture, and the same is reported of the Ma
taro, which has seldom been affected before
In the latter variety there Is now prospect
for fair crop. The Mission, which in some
districts still constitute the bulk of the pro-
duct, vary in condition in different sections,
hut taking all obtainable information as a
basis, an average crop. may be estimated.
The same is reported of the Black Malvoisie,
which, being fleshy grape, is of increased
importance this year in view of the antici-
pated demand for California raisins. The
other varities of red wine grapes are suffer
ing, as to quantity, in proportion TO their
bearing acreage, from the couture, but there
Will certainly be sufficient quantity of the
high qualities to improve the average pro-
duet by blending. AS most of the alleged
imported wines drunk in this country have
their home in California, the safety of the
vintage there becomes an important conside-
ration.

A GREAT and kindly life has gone out in
the death of Sir Moses Monteliore.

CITIZENS of the United States have good
reason TO congratulate themselves that under
the institutions of this country the possibility
of having standing armies for federal de-
fense was prevented. glance at their cost
in Europe brings a thrill of satisfaction TO the
American taxpayer that he is resident of
this side of the Atlantic Last year it cost
Europe s9l7, 100000 to keep up her naval
and military forces. AS the total
expenditure for all national purpo-
ses in all the nations of Europe
was So, 6I5, 900, 900, 1t is seen that the armies
and navies constitute one-fourth of the pub
lie burden. Then, besides, there was paid
S1,O37, ,505, 600 interest on the national debts
in Europe, the major portion of which were
contracted by wars. France heads the list
with SiiO,OO0,O00 paid away on her army,
navy, and interest on debt; Russia comes
next with 1896, 600, 900 Great Britain third
with S305, ,0O0,0 900; Germany fourth with
$3.50, 100000; and Italy fifth with Sl65, ,0OO,- =
000 Spain spent SS0,000000 and Turkey
about S5O,000,0O0, the remaining smaller
states being content to disburse smaller
sums This is terrible price to pay for
peace, which standing armies are supposed
to make stable. Yet they are the most seri-
GUS menace to that very delightful condition
of affairs.

Lei EN.Presidents Alone.

The old question, what shall be done with
ex-presidents, is always forced to the front
with each retirement of q chief executive
to give way to his successor or by the
death of Il man who has held this office. An
exaggerated idea is salways given out at such
times about the awful dignity with which
u man becomes invested by the mere fact
of having been president OF the United
States. 1t is assumed that this units him
for returning to the business or profession
from which he had been drawn. No idea
could be more erroneous. Every man who
has been president thus far in our history,
has been an active, energetic follower of
some pursuit. Five of them have been
rich and none of them idle men. And yet
not one Of them has suffered either in
t1iGnitypr for sympathy after his retirement.
1he earlier presidents were all elderly
men Wien they entered upon their work,
and yet even they did not sit
down 10 rust out. Washington did
not live out the full term of his
suceessor, yet in that time he had been
chosen as commander-in-chief of the
army in the complications which it was
feared would arise with France. Adams,
jefferson and Madison lived in retirement
for many years after the expiration of their
termsoi service. But they remained ac-

brooks have shrunk TO trifIing proportions,

In every time OF drought, only a succession
OF standing pools Besides this, the wells
we speak now particularly Of southeastern
Pennsylvania have become so uncertain a
dependence, and the once valued springs are
so diminished I'm number and volume, that
cisterns of rain-water, ample in size to supply
household uses for many weeks, have been
very generally resorted To, and within five
years, the boring of artesian wells has be-
come more and more common. Tho failure
OF small crops, especially garden vegetables
and fruits, tho present season, has been Sc
rious, and for them irrigation has not only
been thought of, but in places where IL Il
exceptionally easy has actually been put In
practice. The gardeners and fruit culturists
may very naturally begin, in a year or two
more, to provide deep wells on the artesiai
| plan, with wind pumps, as the means o
raising water for systematic and general irri

done to advantage, and curious "a IL ma,

adopting the same plan in this part OF tn

subtle than the thought that by the WELD

But where the pegs are SO many and the

troubled sea of literature must be content
to steer for many moons without rudder.
He must he prepared for stern criticism,
and his ears must grow accustomed to the

There is no royal road TO literary sue

the citits, of Greece. Shakespeare, the
myriad-minded, vas unhOnored by his con-
temporaries. Goldsmith was held as an
improvident jester by the age in which he
lived, and in our own country Longfellow,
Emerson, Hawthorne and Whittier were
not accorded their true places in lit

sere and yellow leaf of life. They knew
not the liberality of the present day that
accords to writer's of the type of w. ID.

an honored old man. Van Buren, amused
himself by running for president on the
Free Soil ticket. Even Tyler was active
for II years after his term expired and
needed nobody topity him or TO worry about
his dignity. Polk died within three
months after leaving the White House,
but Fillmore did not let time hang heavy
on his hands although he lived for more
than twenty years after the presidency
had receded from him. Franklin Pierce's
last days were sad, but not because of any
inherent fault in the office he had held, OF
because it had imposed upon him more
dignity than he could support. No life
could have gone out more sweetly or hon
orably than James Buchanan's; and yet hi
last years were not filled with vain regret
lest there might be some strange thing ac
quired while he was in the presidency tina
he could not support. OF the two remain
