of inducing you to appropriate additional
funds whenever you may learn from your
commissioners that the same are necessary,
that we have in the interest of our common

Preservation of the Forests.

The fourth annual meeting OF the Ameri-
can Forestry congress was held in Boston.
There was address ofwelcome by Gov. Rob
inson and addresses by Gov. Morton, Ben
Perley Poore, and Hon. George B. Lorine
commissioner OF agriculture, who said:
At present the value ofthe lumber wasted
is greater than almost our annual product
from other sources. He believed we should
should select those that are natives of the
soil.
President Hegley drew attention to
the Importance OF the movement
for the restoration of the forests
as touching agricultural, climatic, and
commercial interests. The Rev. Mr..
N. H. Egsleston, chief OF the forestry division
OF the department OF agriculture, Washing
ton, read a paper giving some figures and
facts in regard to the forests OF the coun-
try and their consumption. He showed
drain OF 5O,75O,OS9 acres, which would
clear a wooded surface equal in extent to
the area OF all the New England states to-
gether with New Jersey and Maryland A
general discussion followed the reading of
the paper. Ex-Gov. Morton OF Nebraska, the
father OF arbor day, did not think that the
question OF rain fall had yet been satisfac-
torily explained. In his state the rain fall
had greatly increased, and they found that
titled land contained one and hall times as
much moisture as the same weight OF prai.
RE land. In Kansas and Nebraska the
state offered premiums for the greatest
number OF trees planted on arbor day
The consequence was over 100000
had been planted in single day.
A committee of three vas appointed to
urge before congress the passage Of the bill
introduced by Senator Miller OF New York
with reference to the conservation OF for
ests. A resolution was adopted giving the
approval OF this congress to the movements
lately inaugurated to the Grand Army
posts, by which Decoration day is trans
formed into arbor memorial, the planting
OF trees being substited for flowers.

Beer-b ewing in the United States
according to an article in Harper's
magazine for October, stands sixth
among all industries in this country
in the amount Of capital used, being
exceeded only by metals, cottons,
woolens and worsteds, lumber and
flour; and it's growth is shown by the
fact that, whereas in 1880 the pro-
duction of the United States was some
thing oyer 100000 barrels, in
1885 it was over 100000. The
United States stands third in the list
OF beer-producing countries Great

many 100000, 900, and the United
States 100000, 900. The census re-

"ale'' and "beer'' are used indiscrin1-

port is a bachelor. His father made a
fortune in the settlement of southern New
York and founded one of those wealthy

siderable part in the life OF the state. The
money which the older Davenport made in
selling groceries and shipping produce down
the Toga and Susquehanna was invested
in Iowa lands, in which a city named after
him now stands. The money left by the
father has been increased by the
conservative investments of the son,
who has founded an orphan asylum,
endowed a soldiers home, and came to be
known as liberal, clear-headed public
citizen. His education never went beyond
the Goodrich grammer school in New
Haven. His winters have been for some
time spent in New York city. The plat

the tariff no evasion OF the spirit or letter

GEN. GRANTS LAST WORDS.
Col. Grant, at a Reunion of his Fathers
Old Regiment, Reads a Patriotic Decla-
ration Made by the Dying General.

ration Made by the Dying General.
A reunion OF the veterans of Gen. Grants
old regiment, the Twenty first Illinois vol
unteers, was held at Neoga, III. Col. Fred
Grant was present, and was accorded a
very hearty reception. In response to re-
quests for a speech, the colonel said:
have here a document that would like
to read to you. 1t is the last line written
by Father pertaining to the war, and has
never before been made public. As he en-
tered into the war with YOU for his first
companions, and as he always spoke OF
your regiment with affectionate interest, it
is fitting that you should be first to hear
his parting words. This is what he
wrote upon the pages I hold here: II feel
that we are on the eve OF new era
when there is to be great harmony be-
tween the Federals and the Confed-
crates | cannot stay to be living wit
ness to the correctness OF the prophecy, but
I feel within me that it is to be so. The
universally kind feeling expressed for me at
a time when it was supposed each day
would prove my last seems to me to be the
beginning OF the answer Let us have peace
The expressions OF these kindly feelings
were not restricted to section OF the coun-
try nora division OF the people. They came
from individual citizens OF all nationulities,
from all denominations, the Protestant, the
Catholic and the Jew, and from the various
societies OF the land, scientific educational,
religious or otherwise. Politics did not en-
ter into the matter at all. / amnot egotis-
teal enough to suppose all this significance
should be given this matter because l was
the object OF it. But the war between the
states was very bloody and avery costly
one. One side or the other had to yield
nrincinleS they deemed 1aa rpr thon liza no
fore it could be brought to an end | COM
manded the whole OF the rightly host en-
gagged on the victorious side, it was no
matter whether deservedly or not, repre-
sentative OF that side OF the controversy.
It is a significant and gratifying fact that
Confederates should have joined heartily
in this spontaneous move. Hope the good
feeling inaugurated may continue to the
end"
A general amen went up from the audi
ence and t.len the meeting adjourned.

Wholesale Depredations in Iowa.

Mason City Special: or some weeks
past numerous depredatons have been
committed on the property of farmers in
this vicinity, and all efforts toward appre-
hending the guilty ones have been futile un-
til a few days ago, when Sheriff Rosecrans
visited Portland township, ten miles from
here and there arrested an entire family
named Babolt, consisting of the mother,
three sons and daughter, and secured
sufficient evidence against the whole gang
to make their conviction OF numerous
thefts inevitable. They recently arrived
in this section, with horses and stock in a
deplorable condition and themselves not
too well provided with the necessaries of
life. They at once began etheir depreda-
tions, stealing eighty bushels of grain from
one farmer, tools and machinery from sew
eral others, $50 pounds OF wire fence from
another, and, in fact, taking possession of
everything portable they could lay their
hands on, the amount OF their stealings
reaching nearly $4,000.
