THE SBQUOIAS GOING.
Destructive Tendencies In the King
River Region.

River Region.
This extract from an article by John
Muir, the California naturalist, in the
November Century, would indicate that
the onslaught upon the Big Trees to
which he called attention in the Century
year ago is still going on. He says: SAT
first sight it would seem that these
mighty granite temples could be injured
but little by anything that man may do.
But it is surprising to find how much our
Impressions in such cases depend upon
the delicate bloom of the scenery, which
in all the more accessible places is so
easily rubbed off. l saw the Kings
River Valley in its midsummer glory
sixteen years ago, when it was wild, and
when the divine balanced beauty of the
trees and flowers seemed to be reflected
and doubled by all the unlocking rocks
and streams as though they were mirrors,
While they in turn were mirrored in
every garden and grove. In that year
1873 l saw the following ominous no
tice on a tree in the Kings River Yo-
semitic:
I'VE, the undersigned, claim this valley for
Mr.. THOMAS.
Mr.. RICHARDS.
HARVEY d Co.
And I feared that the vegetation would
soon perish. This spring q691) / made
damage had been done, and to inspect the
forests. Besides, l had not yet seen the
valley in flood, and this was good flood
year, for the weather was cool, and the
snow on the mountains had been held
back ready to be launched. I left San
Francisco on the 18th of May, accom-
panied by Mr.. Robinson, the artist. At
the new Kings River Mills we found
that the Sequoia giants, as well as the
T-I1th &c ClNr
turned into lumber. Sixteen years ago
saw five mills on or near the Sequoia belt,
all Of which were cutting more or less of
'big-tree' lumber. Now, as | am told,
the number of mills along the belt in the
basins Of the Kings, Kaweah and Tule
Rivers is doubled, and the capacity more
than doubled.
'As if MISREPRESENTATION of some kind,
particular attention is being devoted to
the destruction of the seQuOia groves
owned by the mill companies, with the
view to get them made into lumber and
money before steps can be taken to save
them. Trees which compared with ma
ture specimens are mere saplingS are be-
ing cut down, as well as the giants, up to
at least twelve to fifteen feet in diameter.
Scaffolds are built around the great
brown shafts above the swell of the base,
and several men armed with long saws
and axes gnaw and wedge them down
with damnable industry. The logs
found to be too large are blasted to man
ageable dimensions with powder 1t
seems incredible that Government should
have abandoned so much of the forest
cover of the mountains to destruction.
AS well sell the rain-clouds, and the
snow, and the rivers, to be cut up and
carried away if that were possible.
Surely it is high time that something be
done to stop the extension of the present
barbarous, indiscriminating method OF
harvesting the lumber crop"

they seemed to point upon her acts. As
If in a dream, slowly along the veranda
she went, starting for her tryst, out into
the compound, past the bananas, tall and
rigid, and the bamboos Pickering in the
moonlight, when suddenly she found
herself confronted by the doctor of the
station.
"oh, Mrs. Clifford, I beg your pardon
for startling you, but my business is
urgent. Your husband-''

that poor Captain Norton-he knew him

young Mrs. Clifford tumbled in heap at
his feet -
Some years afterward, Judge Clifford
retired, with q fine pension and full
purse. He bought as handsome a house
as South Kensington contains, and therein
he dwelt most happily with his still
youthful wife-a quiet, gentle, rather sad
eyed young hostess, but very charming,
as pronounced by all the guests to whom
she did the honors at his handsome din
ner parties, not over strong, as she had
never quite recovered from the effects of
most severe fever contracted while out
IN India. Older friends noted how,
though she had seemed so much too
young for him when they married, she
had now quite grown up to him, and
what successful match it had turned
out, and all the younger Morrisons got a
helping hand in the world and, girls and
boys according to their lights, had their
separate reasons for being grateful to the
summer that had made James Clifford

CASE DISMISSED
In the Old Matter Against Professor smythc Of
Andovcr School.

ANpuvrR. Mass. Sept. G.-The attempt
to reopen the tnlovcr case by nstituting a
new trial of the old charges against Prof.
>mvthe has ended in the dismissal of the
case bv the board of visitors.
Rev. DR. Walker, chairman of the board
of visitors, read lengthy decision, III
which after overriding the legal objections
raised last Thursday against the lawfnlness
of new trial. proceeded to dismiss the
ease on the following grounds:
First, the complaint is six years old aud
does not deal with the present state OF
things.
Second. the trustees and Prof. Smythe
have repeatedly aud emphatically assured
the visitors that most thorough iuvestiga-
ton. regularly and properly conducted
would be welcome The visitors believe
the hest interests of the seminary do not
require the opening of the case.
Third, the Christian public cannot he
made tn understand the equity or reasona
blcnesss of condemning Prof. SmSthc ai-
four other professors have been acquitted
on the same charges and same evidence
The complainants never claimed any per
| sonal grievance, and no wrong will he done
them by lismissing the case.
Fifth, Prof. Smythe, since these pro
cecdings began, has again subscribed to
| the creed of the seminary. tand this
learned and Christian gentleman must be
supposed to have taken it inteliigently.

At WAR OVER A COLLEGE.


CIStNNAri, ohio. sept. G.--for some
time there has been litigation III the courts
here about the possession of the Cincinnati
Wesleyan Female College. The Rev. lDr.
Brown and his wife, Mrs. Mcclellan
Brown have held it under lease for
several wears. The trustees claim the
lease has expired The Rev. pr. Brown
and his wife say that it has not expired.
The decision of that question is pending in
the courts.
Acting on the theory that the lease has
expired, the trustees have elected Dr. Rust
AS president of the college, but the Browns
refuse to yacate it.
The attorneys of the trustees put four
constablcs in charge of the college prcm-
ises last night with orders To let no one in
or out Mrs Brown was down town. and
on returning was refused admiianCe. She
went to the police and had them eject the
four consiablcs. II appears that the c"n
stables had no authority save a note from
the attorneys of the trustees.
