Gen. Grant has accepted the invita-
ton of J. w. Drexel, wealthy gentle
man and old friend of the General, to
occupy his summer cottage on Mount
MacGregor, eleven miles north of Sara
tega. Mr.. Drexel was DESTROYS that the
General should come to his cottage at
Saratoga, but it was thought that at
Mount MacGregor the retirement would
be better, and that the keen, bracing
mountain air would have a much bet
ter effect on his health; therefore, MIR.
Drexel offered to the family the exclus-
i've use of the MacGregor cottage dur
ing the months of June and July. The
family are ready to go at the shortest
notice, and the General himself antici-
pates the change with great pleasure.
The date on which the change will be
made has been decided upon as Tues

The Fate of Our Forests.

The spruce is Woodworking, honest
tree. 1t may not possess the grandeur
of the pine nor the soaring crown of
the hemlock; but a gum will outchew
caouchouc, and is deservedly popular
in Boston, female colleges, and other
select localities. The spruce is meet
ing, last of all, the doom of his ever
green fellows. In Maine and New
Hampshire and in the Canadian pro-
yinces the ak of the logger is eating its
way steadily and without mercy into
the heart OF the spruce country, and
too soon will the place thereof know it
no more. Thus went the pine, though
when the latter reigned the spruce
grew on unframed, for loggers deemed
it an ignoble tree, good enough to
raise chewing gum, but unworthy of
further usage. So they went for the
pine alone, and hewed it down, as if
the world stood watching until each
lake and stream grew weary with the
burden of murdered trees. If waters
can be sad, know no reason why these
eastern lakes and rivers might not be
mournful as well as was that old Greek
fountain which sprang from woman's
tears, who mourned her children slain.
For the pine trees and the waters were
akin and loving. When the rain de-
scended or the SHOWS of winter melted,
the trees gathered in the surplusage so
that the stream flowed evenly to the
sea, and when drought came the full
lakes gave of their abundance to the
sunshine's call, and thus returned it to
the thirsty trees. Now all are gone.
The brooks are beds of rounded rocks
and the lakes but shallow basins.
When floods of spring and autumn
come to hand there is naught to stay
them. They work destruction for a
passing hour; then the streams dry up
and the lakes become shallow basins
again, so full of sandbars that even the
catfish get aground and the contiguous
factories buy steam engines or move
away.
What became of the pine9 The an
swer is readily given. 1t was shipped
off to the West Indies, most of it, and
came back as molasses, the greatest
part of which was brewed into New
England rum, horrible compound,
and this the thrifty natives drank up.
Such was the passing of the pine tree.
When all were gone the good State
passed law of prohibition and capped
the sheaf of ruin. People who see joy
and comfort in the destruction of the
Adirondack forests had better sober up
and come down here. They would
gain some ideas, if anything but ire
panning could insert one inside their
skulls.
The hemlock. too, has gone its way.
1t was literally skinned out of existence
Men wanted its hide to use in tanning
leather, and did not even rest until it
left them for ever. Hemlock timber
was not considered valuable while any
thing else was handy. hence most of
these trees rottcd where they fell,
while the bark travelled to some of the
big tanncries in Maine and Massachu-
sets. Since hemlock became scarce
the tanners use in its stead South
American gum; hence hemlock tan is
largely something else nowadays

a Chicago Times reporter interviewed

in that city on Wednesday last, and the
following interesting conversation took
place:
lis there going to be clean sweep?'

tiers in my district removed, and as
many more as cam
The Democrats will use the political
influences of the postoffices just as ener-
getically as the Republicans did, will
they not?"

want the party to succeed, ami l think
! know the means of attaining success.
There are places in my district where
the Republicans couldn't get a delega-
ton to a county convention if it wasn't
for the postmaster. In place where
there are very few Republicans the
postmaster meets fellow who hasn't
much of any politics and he says: Joe,
don't you want to go down to Fond du
Lac to the county convention Joe
doesn't know about it. The postmaster
continues: If you'll go down with me
I'll get you elected delegate, and it
won't cost you anything. and we'll have
some fun
well Joe goes, aud he votes in the
convention the way the postmaster tells
him to, and he gets his name in the pa
pcrs as delegate to the Republican
County convention, and of course he is
from that time Republican. He can't
g back on the party that has paid him
such compliment, and he has to main
tain his reputation for consistency. The
country postmaster, no matter how
small his Office is, is an important ele-
ment in politics.

y very fair audience greeted the
English actress, Miss Adelaide Moore,
last evening. The play of the even
ing, the"School for scandal was not,
in itself, altogether acceptable, aud
its rendition was certainly far below
whal was expected. Miss Moore
labors under many disadvantages,
the principal one being defects OF
voice. Her lisping is far too pro-
nounced TO be assumed, and her voice
lacks compass and elasticity.
Mrs. Frank a. Tannchll, MS Mrs.
Caudour, and Mr.. George Thornton,
a. Joseph Surface. are perhaps cnti-
tied to mention, but the remainder of
the troupe are not above Glow oldin-
ary.' The school OF acting was de-
cidedly English, and is, OF cours Sc,
something which the average Amcri-
eau cannot fully appreciate. The cos
tunes were handsome. Miss Moore
will not play areturn date in Waco
