CLEVELAND AND THURMAN
Hubbard Bros. the well known publishers of
Philadelphia, Chicago and Kansas City. an

tween July 1st and 18th, CT Il biography Of
Cleveland and Thurman, also Mrs. Cleveland
the popular bride of the White House, togeth-
er with full setting-forth Of the great tariff is
sue and great variety of valuable political
matter the whole to be written and edited by
W. u. Hensel, OF Lancaster.
It would be difficult to find a man better
fitted to write the lives of the Democratic can
didates for President and President than
W. U. Hensel, lawyer, editor and politician.
For nearly fifteen years he was one of the edi-
tors of the Lancaster InteJHgeneey; for five
years Chairman of the Democratic State Com
rnittee of Pennsylvania; a delegate to nearly all
the Democratic conventions since 1877; Chair
man the State convention OF 1888; delegate tt

men and notably the campaign biographer o
Mr.. Hendricks in 1884, Sincerely devoted Il
tbe PRINCIPLES of the party to which he hal
been attached, and which he has served from
bovhood. active In all honest efforts to promote
those principles among his countrymen, ant
having come into close personal contact with
most of the men, who have been recognized by
the present and the last generation as the bes
ideas of the party, he is particularly fitted fol
the task in hand. He has the additional ad
vantage of having been one of the warmes
friends and adherents of Mr.. Cleveland, no
only before his ascension to the Presidency bu
since and during that time. He has also lonl
been an admirer and personal friend OF Mr.
Thurman, so that he has all the qualihcaton
necessary to enable him TO WRITE fair, truthful
and entertaining sketches of the distinguished
men who have been selected as the standard
bearers of the Democratic party during tn
Presidential canvass of 1888.
This will undoubtedly be the most authentic
and excellent work issued.

COnkling and Thurman,

Judge Thurman and Mr.. Conkling were
great friends. They used to go up to the
Hot Springs in Virginia for their rheuma-
tsm, when both we're in the Senate, and &C.
joyed themselves hugely. Judge Thurman
would often say, "ConkliDg is mighty good
company when he chooses" A scene once
occurred between them in the Senate that
is perhaps the most graphic and graceful in
stance of the retort courteous on record
1t isn't a new story, by any means, but it is
true, and it is first-rate story, too. Mr..
Conkling was one day making a speech,
during which he repeatedly turned to Judge
Thurman and addressed remarks to him.
They were not always of a very gratifying
nature, and Judge Thurman, who is a very
peppery old gentleman, at last lost his tem-
per.
e'Does the Senator from New York; he
roared, "expect me to answer him every
time he tnrns to me ?''
For moment Mr.. Conkling hesitated,
and everybody expected a terrific explosion.
Then, with an air Of exquisite courtesy he
replied:
"When speak of the law l turn to the
Senator from Ohio as the Mussulman turns
toward Mecca. turn to him as do to the
English common law, as the worlds most
copious fountain of human Jurisprudence. +"
The democrats gave rousing cheer, aud
judge Thurman walked over on the repub.
lican side and shook hands with Conkling.

Staunton. Va. June 10Th, 1885,
The season which demands late and early
attention and the straining of every nerve on
the farm has fully arrived. That which causes
the rural districts to be scene of busy ac-
tivity is the preparation for the natural flow
of trade to come in its order, changing the
inertia of summer dizziness of the towns into
the commercial life after the harvest is over
and the fall crops gathered.
The harvest season is in full blast in all our
sections of the State. Wheat was never
known to ripen SO rapidly and evenly and
with the binder to push the work of the swath
1t is as much as the toiling farmer can do to
secure his anxiously watched crop into shocks
before it is damaged by delay after full ripe
ness.
The price current is without change.

DESTRUCTION OF AMERICAN FORESTS
General James L. Brisbane has just pub
lshed book on ''Trees and Tree Plant
ing" He gives an interesting account of
the variety of trees to be found in the vir-
gin forests of the United States and the
ranges of soil in which they will flourish
best. But what is of most Importance are
the facts he furnishes of the annual de-
structiOn of our forest trees. Coming east
ward after four years tour of army serv-
ice on the treeless plains of the West, the
contrasts Of forest growth and the rapid
disappearance of densely wooded tracts
during his sojourn on the frontier induced
him to gather statistics on the subject and
print them as a warning of the consequence
that must speedily ensue. Computing the
enormous quantity of timber cut for build
ing purposes, for railroad ties and for feic-
ing in farms, the statistics that he gives
show that "eyery year we strip eight mil
lions of acres of trees and plant less than
one million Of acres to replace them. The
end" he says is so plain even fool may
read it as he runs" And the work goes
on. The greater part of the Northern pine
is gone and the hemlock is fast disappear
ing Resort is now had to the Southern
pine forests, heretofore scarcely touched by
the woodlands axe, and the hardwood for
ests Of the North Carolina mountains. This
lncessant slaughter is not only changing
our climate, but is drying up the sources OF
our navigable rivers.-BaH. Sun.
