Even General Gordon, whom the
exigencies OF British politics exalted
to the rank of q martyr and hero of
almost superhuman excellence, did not
seem altogether admirable to all who
knew him. For example, Judge George
s. Bachelor, the American represen-
tative in the International tribunal at
Cairo, who has just returned to New
York, brought back with him a not
very favorable opinion Of the general.
He says General Gordon,,whom he saw
and of whom lie heard 40 much from
those who knew him well, cared for
nobody but himself, and had the same
disregard Of death as the orientals
among whom he had lived for so many
years. He was pious, but bloody,
and would have made the Soudan
groan, with his despo tism if fate had
not cut short his career in X hart cum.
To us in Cairo, q says Judge Bachel-
der, he was any thing but 4 hero.
Gordon brought about his own dc,
sstruct by disobe ying orders, q 558.

Preservation of the Forests.


The fourth annual meeting OF the Ameri-
can Forestry congress was held in Boston.
There was address of welcomeby Gov: Rob
inson and addresses by Gov. Morton, Ben.
Pcrley Poore, and Hon. George 3. Lorine,
commissioner OF agriculture, who said
At present the value OF the lum Der wasted
is greater than almost our annual product
from other sources. He believed we should
plant as much as possible from seed and
should select those that are natives OF the
soil.
PRESIDENT Hesey drew attention to
tn. Importance OF the movement
for the restoration OF the forests
commercial interests. The Rev. Mr..
N. H. Egglest on, 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
that forests are subject to an annual
drain of 5O,75O,OS9 acres, which would
clear wooded surface equal i'll 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 a halftimes 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 was 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.

John Russell Young, ex-minister to
China, who has just returned, says the
Chinese lady is always kept in seclu-
sion. He never saw one in China and
nothing could be more offensive to a
Chinaman than to ask him about his
wife and family. The family life they
hold completely secluded. AS polyga-
my is accepted in China, of course the
relation between man and wife is not
known to them, and when they call
upon the different legations the ladies
OF the legation always withdraw them
selves and never meet the Chinese; not
that the Chinese would be rude to them
but they could not understand it.

GEN. GRANTS LAST WOkDs.



Il Old Regiment, Reads + Patriotic Dscla-
ration Made by the Dying General.
A reunion OF the veterans OF Gen. Grants
old regiment, the Twenty first nlinolssvol
unteers, was held at Neoga, I'll. Col. Fred
Grant was present, and was accorded a.
very hearty reception. In response to re-
quests for q speech, the colonel said:
Ihave here document that VI uld like
TO read to you. Tt 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 Tor his first
companions, and as he always spoke o.
your regiment with Affect nate INTEREST, 1T
is fitting that you should be first to hear
his parting words. This is what he
wrote upon the pages ! hold her - 1eei
that I'VE are on the eve Of q new era,
when there is to be great harmony be-
tween the Federals and the Confed-
crates. I cannot stay to be a living wit
ness to the correctness OF the prophecy, but
I feel within me that it is 10 be So The
universally kind feeling expressed Tor me at
q 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 q section OF the coun-
try nor a division of the people. They came
from individual citizens OF all nationaities,
from all denominations, the Protestant, the
Catholic and the Jew, and from thevarious
societies OF the land, scientific, educational,
religious or otherwise. Politics did not en-
ter into the matter at all. I am otegotis-
tical enough to suppose all this significance
should be given this matter because was
the object OF it. But the war between the
states was O. very bloodyan a very costly,
one. One side or the other had to yield
principles they deemed dearer than life be-
lore it could be brought to an end. COM
manded the whole OF the mighty host en-
gagged on the victorious side, it was no
matter whether deservedly or not, repre-
sentative of that side OF the controversy.
1t is a significant and gratifying fact that
Confederates should have joined heartily
in this spontaneous move. Ihope the good
feeling inaugurated may continue to the
end'' -
A general amen went up from the audi
ence and then the meeting adjourned.
