DE LESsEPs' GREAT SCHEME.
The Grsat Promoters Project For North
ern Africa.

Tho late Count De Lesseps was at ono
time engaged in daring and attractive
engineering scheme with which the public
Is not generally familiar. Its object was
to create a new sea and thereby restore to
fertility and civilization a large part of
northern Africa.
MaNSDe Forest, now of Nutley, n. j., a
former officer in the French army, met his
famous countryman at this time.
Il met Count De Lesseps," he said, Sin
1881 at Cabes, in southern Tunis where
| had been ordered with a squadron of
cavalry. Shortly after my arrival he came
with surveying party to make soundings
for the proposed interior sea. l had orders
to place at his disposal both men and
horses, and tho discharge of this duty
brought me into almost daily communion
ton with him until his departure.
The interior sea at that time aroused all
his enthusiasm. He brought to bear the
same persuasive powers that be used when
promoting the ssuez and the Panama ca
nails and enterprises. To skeptics he always
replied, 1t can be done, and it will be done
if the government will give me the money
to do it with.
Its proposed area embraced the entire
plain lying to the southwark of the bound
airy line drawn from Cabes via Gafsa to
Tamerza. The practicability of the scheme
was supported by many facts. 1t was
proved that an inland sea had covered in
ancient times tho area which it was in
tended to flood. The level CT tho land was
generally below that of tho gulf of Cabes.
Innumerablc underground streams of fresh
and salt water are found in the southern
part of Algeria and Tunis.
''Tho water was to be supplied to the In
land sea from the gulf of Cabes. The tides
would have o minimum depth sufficient
to allow Of the passage in all directions OF
light boats. But the most valuable result
of the scheme, it was held, would be to re-
store the ancient fertility of the country
and to oppose barrier to tho sirocco, the
deadly burning wind which piles up the
desert sand about the GASES and finally
buries them.
IN. De Lesseps dwelt on these benefits
with boundless enthusiasm and imagina-
ton. Buried cities would BIO unearthed,
and the coliseum of FL Jemm, now "a
crumbling ruin, but once approaching
chat of Rome in size, would be accessible
to admiring tourists.
IN. De Lesseps left tho work in the
hands of the general staff OF the French
army, by when it Is now supposed to be
carried on. Whether any progress is being
made do not know. New \ ork Adver-

"May and Decemhcr.n

At the trial of divorce case, the par

Upproductiye Apple Orchards.

+ During the past summer said speaker
at q recent New York institute, have
had occasion to visit several localities in
western New York, and have been
greatly impressed with the number of old,
worn out apple orchards, which are an
eyesore wherever found, and which should
be cut down and used for firewood. 1t is
| difficult to understand why SO many dead
and dying trees have been allowed to
stand after having outlived their useful
ness. The beauty of any farm is marred
and its value deprecated by these old
trees. I ask the members of this society to
give aid in remedying this condition of
things The public good and local pride
demand this. Again, the number of or
chards OF medium age which are partially
or totally neglected is very large. These
orchards should be taken care of or de-
stroyed. Few Of us realize how much val
liable land is unproductive owing to its
condition. In most cases, by blowing the
sod and fertilizing and pruning, yigor,
health and fruitfulness can be restored.
Many hesitate to undertake the work
on account Of the expense involved, but it
is evident that there has been too much
delay already; we are really forced TO
meet an emergency and do something at
once As to the ACCESSIBILITY Of cultiva-
ting and pruning there is no question.
A thorough cleaning up win completely
change the aspect of our fruit farms and
homes, and many places can be made
valuable which otherwise are worthless.
A grower at Carlton, Orleans county,
stated recently at farm institute that he
had thinned out his orchard to the extent
Of 600 trees, and sprayed the remaining
900 three times with Bordeaux mixture
AS a result he marketed 2400 barrels of
fine apples at an average price of So IS per
barrel.

A Society Event.

With an ideal hostess, an ideal house,
charming entertainment and a most
sumpsuous luncheon, the lady friends of
Mrs. Daniel French spent a-never-to-bes
forgotten afternoon on Friday. From
the moment of entering the hospitable
house to the moment of departure, was
one continuous round of enjoyment.
Giving answers, found on penny, to
questions from the score cards was the
main occupation of the afternoon, and
from the peals of laughter it was very
evident that the guests entered fully
into the fun and appreciated the novelty
of the idea. Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Eshel-
man and Mrs. Hostetler had the most
correct answers and drew lots to see
who should carry off the beautiful
prize. Mrs. Eshelman's star was in the
ascent and she captured the silver bon
bon basket to always remind her of the
wisdom of carrying ones wits about
with one. There were present, Mes

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1895
LINCoLN,s LESSON FROM THE
COUNTRY PREACHERS.

The first chapter in the Lincoln
Series in McClure's magazine makes the
impression of story too much told.
Great as the interest in the emancipation
is, so much repetition, print and re-
print, wear off the nap, SO to speak, and
leave the great figure in threadbare gar
ments. 1t will be jnst as well if no
more guides rice up for while to con-
duct US in aud "us oi Tom Lincoln's
wretched cabins lii Kentucky and Indi-
ana. The public hassseen enough, for
some time to come, of their doors with
out doors, windows without glass, floors
without stick or splinter of wood, cham
bers without beds, and of their one
legged stools, no-legged tables and bow
legged dogs. In all hero worship ample
room must be given for the Imagination,
for that is one of its essential elements.
But what is said in the article of the
country preachers is significant. They
werethe first public speakers whom the
little boy, who was to go from a Ken
tucky cabin to the White House, heard.
From these came the first impression of
the great struggle going on in the world,
that it is a conflict between right and
wrong. No doubt that they were un-
learned enough, that their utterances
were crude, their elocution full of back
woods awkwaTdness, their gestures wild
as winds In the tree tops, their voices
stentorian, their illustrations often
lurid, and their arguments without
threads, links or line-fences, but there
must often have been the transparency
of sincerity, the eloquence of earnest
mess and the power of soul-felt conyic-
tions. Voices they were in the wilder
ness, but voices to the human conscience,
and although they may have reasoned
of righteousness and judgment to come
in way which would offend the dilet-
antteism of the present day, yet as they
set God and heaven on one side, and sin,
satan and the world of darkness and de-
spair on the other, the child Lincoln
saw the line between the two, the eter-
nal cleavage between right and wrong,
God and satan, heaven and hell.
Then and there came the conviction
that there can be no compromise be-
tween the two, that the separation be-
tween good and evil must 60 on until
there is great gulf fixed. This convic-
tion grew with his growth, ripened with
his intellect, fruited with his experience,
declared itself in the "higher law,'' for
mulated itself in the never-to- e-forgot-
ten utterances that ''a divided house
cannot stand,'' that "a country cannot
be half slave and half free," that "you
can repeal the Missouri Compromise
and the constitution. but you cannot
repeal the moral nature of man." and
at last it made him president and eman-
cipator. For who doubts that it was
Lincoln's moral clearness and moral
force added to his intellectual clearness
and ability that gave him the nomina.
ton for the presidency? The seed
which the Kentucky preachers planted
in the young mind may have been nc
larger, than the grain of mustard seed
but it grew until it became great tree
and all the honors of the nation and the
fame of ages lodged in its branches

MORE ABOUT THE MESSAGE.

Tacoma Union: In the case of Presi-
dent Cleveland's message, read to con-
gress yesterday, it may be said of it.,
from non-partisan standpoint, that it
is disappointing to the country.
*x*
Seattle Post-Intelligencer: AS was to
be expected, Mr.. Cleveland insists that
our revenue receipts have nothing to do
with the maintenance of the gold re-
serve, on tie difficulty of prese rving
the integrity of which he writes at
length, In holding this view he very
plainly misses the fundamental trouble
with the treasury, proba bly, for the SIM
pie reason that he doesn't care to view
it in the right light.
*x#
Tacoma Ledger. Mr.. Cleveland points
with pride to the fact the Argentine Re-
public recognizing the value of the
large market opened to free importation
of it's woods, under our last tariff act,
has admitted certain products of the
United States to enter at reduced
duties.' What these products are, or
what the value of this trade is to us he
does not say. But the effect of the law,
go far as we are concerned, has been to
reduce our wool clip by 100, ZOO, 900
pounds per year, and to reduce the price
by so per cent.
*x*
Oregonian: The people of the United
States do not believe that the more they
import from foreign countries the better
for their own country; that the more
nearly they reduce their labor. to the
