Young Conlfers Dying O6.

Of late strange phenomenon has de-
veloped in the alpine and subalpine re-
gions Of southern Germany. Not only
have the pine forests sensibly dimin-
Hhed, but replanting has become re-
markably unsuccessful A new and as
yet une, ned agency not only pro-
duces graG4al decay among grown tree
Of the most valuable conifers, but checks
even the most scientific efforts towar
replacing the loss sustained. This is the
case in Bavaria. Within the last few
years extensive pine urseries have sin
gularly failed. Undel the most judicious
care young trees would take root, grow
for short time, then come to a stand
still, linger for while, and finally
die off.
This has occurred % such an alarming
extent that the forestry department at
Munich, at loss to account for it, has
at least privately entertained the idea of,
70 to say, "infusing new blood" into its
forests by the introduction of foreign
species. Its attention has been turned
TO India and the United States, to the
Himalayas and to the Rocky mountains.
Il is particularly the genera Abies. Pseu-
dotsuga. Picea, which are favorably
looked upon as fit to become substitutes
for and SUCCESSORS to their waning con.
geners in Bavarian Tyrol. New York

THE excitement over the Cutting
affair in New Mexico should not be
allowed 10 eclipse that of the case of
Francisco Rasures. He was most
foully murdered. Secretary Bayard,
in a letter to Governor Ireland, of
Texas, says: "All diligence will be
used by this department and the
United States minister to Mexico to
cause prompt and thorough investi-
cation TO be made by the authorities
of that country with view to bring
ing to justice under the laws of that
country all persons within its jurisdic-
tion connected with and answerable
for this treacherous and cruel murder
of Francisco Rasures. / observe that
1t is stated in public prints that
Rasures was not a naturalized citizen.
This, however, has no bear
ing, for as a resident of
Texas. Rasures was entitled to the
Jurisdiction Of its laws" etc. This
certainly looks anhealthy-for the
murderers of Rasures.

IT Is reported that all anarchist who
is under arrest, told an officer of the
criminal court in Chicago that if the
anarchists now on trial shall he con-
victed the court house will he blown
up with dynamite. This is probably
nothing more than an attempt to in
timidate the prosecution and, if possi-
BILE the jury. But great care is being
exercised in guarding the building so
as to prevent an attempt to destroy 1t.
The hope of all honorable men is that
If the men now on trial are guilty they
will be convicted and punished as they
deserve TO be punished. Still this
hope is weakened by al ill-defined
fear that they will escape-a fear that
by reason of technicality or through
the moral weakness of one or more of
the jurors they will not be convicted.
But of one thing we may be sure, and
that is, that If the court house be
blown up by dynamite it will be dis
astrous to the anarchists. 1t may in
that event be impossible to prevent
the indignant people of Chicago from
wreaking their vengence upon the an
archists aud upon those who consort
with them.-Tribune Republican.

The County Republican Committees Of the sew
ersl counties will proceed 10 call County Conven-
tions in their respective counties and elect dele
gates and alternate delegates from each OF said
counties to the Territorial Convention above
designated.
Itis desired that sufficient notice of such con-
ventions be given. The Territorial Republican
Committee respectfully recommends that the said
County Conventions be held early in september,
but such date should be fixed therefore as, after
giving due notice TO the Republicans OF the coun.
ties, will be most convenient.
II is presumed that the custom heretofore pre-
vailing In the several counties OF the territory
whereby delegates to the Territorial convention
are elected from the respective counties by the
conventions which assemble TO nominate county
officers will prevail during the present year.
To the end that all counties in the territory, re-
mote from or near TO the place Of holding the Ter
ritorial Convention, shall have opportunity to be
represented therein fairly, and to prevent any ex
trsneous interference with the deliberate desires
Of the Republicans OF each county, the following
rules have been prescribed by former conventions
for the government Of the Republican Territorial
Conventions in the territory OF Montana:
l.-Delegates and alternate delegates shall be
elected in the future to Territorial Conventions,
and in the event of the failure Of delegate taat-
tend, the alternate delegate shall cast the vote OF
the delegate whose alternate he is.
AIN the absence of q delegate and his alternate
Q majority of the delegation from that county
shall cast the vote OF the absentee.
SIN the absence OF all the delegates and alter
nate delegates from any county no vote shall be
cast for such county
Ain the county in which the Territorial Con-
vention shall be held, when sny delegate and his
alternate delegate absent there shall he no vote
cast in their b-half
5.-Dee9 ates and alternates must be Republi-
can residents of the county which they represent.

mmittee. Isaac D. MccuIcHEoN.

The Royal Langtry.

Early the next morning we found the
camping ground about mile up the road
toward Mirror lake. We pitched our tent
opposite the Royal Arch Fall, under a
huge tree called the Royal Langtry oak.
An inscription on board tackled to the
tree conveys the startling information that
upon a certain beautiful midsummer day
not many years ago the famous English
beauty lunched under the spreading
branches and bathed her fair face and
combed her luxuriant hair. But am told
on the best authority that no such brilliant
scene was ever witnessed by this grand
old oak, and the effusive superscription
must have been conceived in the brain OF
OF some ardent admirer of that much-ad-
mired young lady-Yosemite Letter.

Sullivan said nothing but the Colonel's
blood would satisfy him. So, with
three or four of his chosen friends, he
strode into the Globe editorial rooms,
and demanded either retractiou and
an apology from the paper or the pro-
duction of the man who wrote the Of
fensive article. At this juncture out
strobe the Colonel, cooked pistol In
hand, and asked Sullivan II he desired
anything from him. The slugger evil

THE news that Buffalo Bill Is about
to come into possession of property
valued at fifteen million dollars may
change the future plans of that indi-
vidual. When he receives his fortune
he will probably drop the show busi-
ness and spend the remainder of his
days "whooping it up for the boys"-
or run for governor. He will have
money enough to 'fix the boys" no
matter what be may aspire to, and
Buffalo Bill has the ambition un-
doubtedly to soar officially. And with
fifteen million dollars at his command
"the boys" would naturally regard
him as true patriot, and would elect
him in spite of all opposition. OF fine
stature and prepossessing appearance
generally, William. with his immense
wealth will surely be, ss he always
has been, great favorite with the fair
sex and-the boys"

A GREAT many persons take up wit

AGREAT many persons take up with
great promptness an evil report either
charge Of crime against an private
individual or of some some sort of dis
honesty against public man, and
continue to circulate it long after it
has been disproven and they know
the report had, at the first, no founda-
ton in fact. Newspapers often seem
to start some falsehoods of that kind
very much like a misunderstanding
person merely to see If anyone else
will be fool enough to take it up and
keep ii going.

A Boston letter to the Baltimore
American says: mot one-third Of
John L. Sullivan's scrapes have ever
been made public. For two years
after he gained bis fame by vanquish-
ing Ryan, the newspapers of this, his
native place, gave no publicity to the
numerous outrages he committed. II
was argued that he was young and in
experienced, and would improve when
he grew older. So he went on. Fin.

Design of q Black Skin.

A writer in Nature thinks the design Of
black skin Is to protect the delicate tis-
sues beneath. Flesh is very translucent

the rays of q tropical sun would light mp

skin would stop out the solar energy of

Skin heat is Of no importance, as perspir-
alton can always keep that down May
