WANTS MORE TREES PLANTED.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The growth OF public sentiment in favor of
trees in city streets is shown in the increasing
number that evident in many of uptown
streets. AS the advantages become more apparent
each season. and residents find that greater i'm
proverncnt can be made IN adding to the homelike
appearance of the neighborhood in which they live
and that their properties become more valuable in
consequence Of trees 1t is only natural that in
creasing numbers set out each year. and it is
TO be hoped that this will extend until all the resi-
Dental streets well lined with trees.
1t is gratifying in this connection to note the
action OF a few public spirited citizens who have
had forty trees planted In Seventy and Seventy
brary and the Presbyterian Hospital. Other resi-
dents of the neighborhood expect TO supplement
this good work by extending the area and planting
many additional trees in that vicinity. These trees
will be of JOY TO the patients and adj
vantage to the whole neghborhood.
In proportion its there Is really way
in which benefit the city (both in adding to
its health and beauty more than by planting trees,
and in New-York there are always individuals who
have both the desire and ability to do good when
their attention drawn to the great results that
can be accomplished at moderate expenditure or
money.
1t is to be hoped that a number OF persons of
means will follow the examples that have been
set and win plant trees in the localities where
they have interests. They need not be deferred by
the fear that trees will not flourish, by the
cost which does not exceed 500 for each tree prop
tenement district committee of our association are
houriShng, although they generally in districts
that would be considered unfavorable to their
growth. They can be planted now and until the
ground is frozen hard.

Senator, "that when the first tide of
New England settlers began to drift

If the emigrant said cow he was
permitted to cross, but if be said
skeow' he was told to return to the
east, because the natives were salts

up by tying bear on their side of the

almost every section of the county

DO you wish the world were better?
Let me tell you what to do
Set watch upon your actions;
Keep them always straight and true
Rid your mind of selfish motives; =
Let your thoughts be clean and high
You can make a little Eden
Of the sphere you occupy.
Do you wish the world were wiser?
Well, suppose you make a start
By accumulatiug wisdom
In the scrap-book of your beart.
Do not waste one page in folly;
Live to learn and learn to live;
If you want to increase knowledge,
You must get ere you can give.
Do you wish the world were better:
Then remember day by day
Just to SOW the seeds of kindness
AS you pass along the way.
For the pleasure of the many
May be oft-time traced to one,
AS the hand that plants the acorn
Shelters armies from the sun.

From the lips Of Willism F. Shee-
an Judge Psrker this evening learned
OF the reception his message on the

Mr.. Sheehan talked with Judge Par
ker for an hour, going into the fulles t
details, and laudipg the work of
Senator Tillmap, whose labors in
behalf of Parker at the critical nom
ent Mr.. Sheehan described as being
"a perfect bulwark against the op-

Mr.. Sheehan told Judge Parker
further that all his friends would
hereafter swear by Tillman. He
praised the final sunming up of John
Sharp Williams, which closed the
discussion of the dispatch. Mr.
Sheehen very frankly told Judge
Parker that not one Of the politicians
ct the convention would ever have
recommended Judge Parke,'s' action
in sending the now famous dispatch.
He said that the dispatch was re-
ceived by him when he was already
tagged out, and came as o thunder
bolt from clear sky, and further in
creased the troubles be then had on
his hands.
Mr.. Sheehan has issued q state
ment bearing his signature in which
