eldest was I : vine in an man-

sion near Central Park, in New York,with his fashionable family, keeping

span or norses and a retinue servants ; and Gideon, married to a

but coarae aud illiterate wo-

man, was in the poor cottage of hisfather, so shy that be almostafraid his kind brother who cameyearly to visit and aid him.

E. Bskerly, the rich ship-eband-l- er,

was ao saob. He acknowledgedpoor relatives, aad helped them,

and had often invited his brother andieter-in-la- w to visit him. Gideon

wanted to go to New York, but heget up courage. He had

beard of assassins coming ap behindpeaceable eitizens and stabbing themin the street, and about haekmendriving strangers to dungeons audthen robbing them ; so he thought inhis innocent heart, that his brotherwas almost the only good man in thegreat city.

But the time came when am-

bitious Betsey resolved to go to NewYork and see for herself. So she toldber brother-in-la- while on his an-

nual visit, that she "had deeided, atlast, to buy herself a new al-pa- oy

and a dress-ca- p, so's his familywouldn't ashamed of her, and goon rpal New York style ebout thefirst of November. The folks theremay stare at me, or laugh at me, butthey won't eat me, that'sadded.

"When the gentleman announcedthis at the daughters laughed,and resolved to make her visit asagreeable as poseibie, sending her ablaak silk to "that abomma- -

The week of October, when thehouse was in the hands cstererand a decorator, the following

letter was received by thelady :

by the sharp notes of an angryvoice aimed at a hackman.

"I never heerd such a swindle!Don't pay him a dollar and a half,Gidyon, for fetahhi' us half a mile.We could 'a' walked just as well; andthe men-folk- s could 'a' lugged up thetrunk it ainta mite heavy! I'll haveyou took up for robbery, sir. If youdo keep a carriage and two horses!"

As children and butcher-boy- s werecollecting on the sidewalk, the lady

the house slipped down stairs, putthe money in the faackman's handand smuggled her friend up stairs.

As there were men at work in thekitchen, their supper was given themquietly in a little side-roo- m, nnd thethe tired travelers were sent early tobed, without any remonstrance ontheir pert.

The pair were put into an attic room j

which was rarely slept in. This wasdone not from disrespect, but becausethe usual for visitorsmast be used until late in the night,by the ladies who were among theguests the evening. Gideon andhis wife, however, were glad of anyresting plaee. They complained toeach other that "it was dreadful hotfor the last of October," blew oat thegas-ligh- t, and were soon lost to theirnew situation, bat nt until AuntBetsy had exclaimed in a dreamydrawl

"New York's the nastiest smellin'town ever I was in, and I wish I wasto home."

Ttse guests had gathered and therewas a hum of merriment belo,which was suddenly hushed by theappearance of two strange apparitionson the stairs.

"What aiis you?" asked the agitat-ed brother, as terrible sounds i

DESTTRCCTIOrr OF FORESTS.Some Startling Fact ami Figures.

The constant reckless destruc-tion of our forests is fast bringing usto a condition in which there will beoccasion for real alarm. It is notbable that any "seare" like that whicha few years airo went over England,concerning the prospective exhaus- -

tion of her coal supply, will immediately occur in America, touching theloss of our fjrests, but we wish something near enough approaching itmnrht hanpen to stop work thatis full of evil promise.

It will nottake more than a decade or two at theutmost to fairly exhaust this soureeofwealth to the State. Michigan andMinnesota are following in the samecourse, slashing away at their forests

as if a had no right to lift itshead. One of onr most intelligentarmy officers. General Brisbin, whoknows the western countrvly. to whose aeeurate'knowledgeof subject we are indebted formany facts, says that 50,000 acres ofWisconsin timber are cut annually tosupply the Kansas Nebraskamarkets alone. Ths Saginaw forestsare even now practically destroyed,and if the Northern Pacific Railwayis built, it will open up to the ax theoue remaiuinc belt of American tim- -ber, In Oregon and Washington Ter- -

rltory.The railroads have been the great

destroyers of our forests. They use160,000,000 of ties annually thatmeans the leveling of at least 150,000

of trees. The timber they use,also, is not the refuse or the inferior,but the very best fine young trees,eight to ten inches in diameter. TheUnion Pacific Company undertook atfirst to lay their road with eottonwoodties, drawn from the occasionaled canyons along tbe line of the road.One consequence of this was shownin our Washington dispatch, the otherday, regarding the legislation to beasked of Congress for the relief of the

Tbe Government Commissionappointed to examine the line report-ed that it was completed withinthe term? of the law. The use of

along two or three hundred miles ofthe road have accordingly been re-

fused. The settlers who have boughtthe lands can get r:o titles from thecompany, for it has none. This looksbad our forests, since it means theultimate destruction of thousands of

of more good timber to replacethe condemned ties, which have al-

ready swept off a large part of the fewprecious growths of comparative-ly treeless region. If it is remember-ed that ties have to be renewed everyseven years' the extent of the demandon our forests will be appreciated.When 10,600 miles more of rails havebeen laid. It will require all tbe young

;trets in the country to supply the demand for ties.

Fences are also enormous consumersof trees. In the east we are learning: .Li. t -.ill i tits zf4.fiiT"fi uviiLnm rtfr, rvertti- - .wfc. ,.., w CuCity. but in the west, in some States, i

The outrageous waste of timbercaused by the Selling of forests andthe burring of the trees to bring theland uncer cultivation still goes on ata fearful rate. From 1S80 to 1870 noless than 12,000,000 acres of forestwere thus wantonly destroyed. Forfuel also vast tracts are leveled oftheir trres. It took 10,000 acres offorest tc supply Chicago with fuel oneyear, 3571. Our annual decrease offorest from all these causes is not farfrom 5,000,000 acres. Yet we plantonly 10,000 acres of new forest a year.

The necessity for a commission offorestry, and the need of efficient lawsin all the States for the preservationof our forests, need no further argu-

ment ihan these facts. 2s. Y. Times.

TIGHT EY A THEATRE.A 3Ian's Face Pounded Almost Beyond

Recognition "Billy" Edwards' San-gnlnt- ry

Encounter tvltb. "Fiddler"Xsarr.

They had a spectacle on the Bowerystage last night. A piay called "Lifein New Y'ork" had been advertisedfor the occasion of "Billy" Edwardsbenefit, with a sparring match be-

tween Edwards and "Fiddler" Neary.On Thursday Neary said he wouldnot attend, and "Patsy'' Hogan wassubstituted in his stead. The theaterwas packed from pit to dome. On thestage were Arthur Chambers, MikeCoburn, Johnny Aarons, George Si-le- r,

Bill Clark, Harry Hill, and acrowd of others of the "profession."Edwards stepped to the footlights, andsaid that as Neary was not in the househe would put on the gloves with Ho-gan. At this Neary jumped from hisseat in the gallery, and shouted thathe was "on hand," and was not afraidof Edwards.

"Come down, then," said Edwards,"and let's see."

Neary descended to the stage amida deafeuing shout, and stripped for afight. Both men were excited, and itwas evident that thy "meant business." he stage wasiscrronnAail bypoliceman, and-other- s were stationed

At in worn "lime' tne nercuiean"Fiddler" aimed a blow with a fistlike a sbdge hammer. Edwards step-ped aside and struck Neary a fearfniblow ot tbe side of the face. Themen then closed, and a terrific roundended vith the fail of both, with Ed-

wards uppermost. Six rounds follow-ed, botb pugilists fighting in earnest.The "Fiddler," finding his antagonistmore skillful than himself, stoppedsparring after the second round, andsought only to throw Edwards, de--

pendins upon his own superior phys- -

ique. At lengtn ne grew desperate,and laid himself open to tbe fierce as-

sault of his adversary, who kept cool,waitiag for his chance. Every roundended with a fall, and six times outof seven the "Fiddler" was under.

When the men fell they struggleddesperately, rolling over and over,striking savagely, until the "sports"on the stage bad to disengage them.The contestants allowed eaeh otherhardiy any time, but almost as soonas separated renewed the fight. Theadmiring erowd arose from their seatsen mme, and shouted themselveshoarse. Before the end of the fifthround the "Fiddler's" face was bat-

tered almost past recognition, and theblood, which flawed freely from hisnose, was spattered over Edwards.At the end of the seventh roundNeary "threw up tbe sponge," andthe spectators on the stage lifted Ed-

wards on their shoulders aud carriedhim to the "flies." Ee was loudlyealied for. For several minutes tbeuproar was so sreat that he could notmale himseir heard. "When it endedhe Talked to the front, and, pantingfor breath, said: "Gentlemeu, I hopethis will be a lesson to Mr. "Fiddler"

were out in the hills back of the Gol-

"How did he manage to save yourlife?"

"Three years ago I tvss living inMontana. A smelter had just beenbuilt and it created a demand for sil-

by wholesale burning of the prairiegrass. It says of the remedy:

Spiritualism which formerly ass-isted of a series of rape and tSftiagoftables, has assumed a phase whiakseems te leave hardtv a eea-fe- i of itsbeing what is claimed for It by ia pro--mulgators.

For some time past investigationshave been in progress in this city,which have eliminated in exhibitions

f the moststartiingebaraeter. When,the dead are raised to life and broughtto view in the glare of a strong light,there seems to be no room for decep-tion ; one is compelled to regard thephenomenon as miraculous, or at leastscpernaturai. Without indulging inany speculation as to the possibiiityof deception, or attempting to explainthe views of the harmonial philoso- -'

pher, we proceed to give some detailsof a seance witnessed by a Dsmccraireporter.

took place at the resldeece of Mr.Johnson, at the southeast corner ofElm and Seventh in a room:in the second story. There were abbtliia doaen gentlemen and four ladiespresent. The light was extinguishedand guitars were swung through thea:r and played by invisible fingers ;

spirit hands were presaed upon thehands and knees of the living ; bellswere rung, and phosphorescent lightsmoved about the room. The mediumwas a Mr. Brainerd, a young manrather nnder medium size, though amedium of great power. While thelight was oat a spirit voice spokethrough a tin trumpet, answeringquestions readily, and with correct-ness and a vein of humor.
