At the recent eolebrntioii of the Fourth of July at WoodMock, Conn., Mr. Mural llaltad delivenil a (triking addre, to which he gave the title of the "I'rwrvation of the People' Inheritance." It could Ite more aeeurately dexcrilxd a an ac count of the rtH klcKii way in whieli mankind in general, and American in Ntrticular, had squandered, and were continuing tn uander, their inhrritancc. lu sR'aking of the de cline of certain nation, Mr. Hal Mead xaid: The land have lieen wauled, the forcxtx are no more, the xoil thai once made fruitful hill ami bloom ing valley i at the bottom of the eaa, and the xlream that watered the iieopliil plain are loft in the and that are the tomb of the jiro llignlc who have erihed. The element of ioibility. the founda tion of Ktsteritv. are gone, never to Ik- restored, amf I boe cancers of the earth, the dexerlx, are eating attay more and more that which xbould xuitaiu the generation to come. Coming down to our own country, the x'iiker referred to the exhaust ed fertility of tobacco land ami wheat Held?, to the extermination of fix) fish and noble game and water fowl; particularly to our vanquish ing forct. The wood havu been torn from the mountain, and brook have de parted beeauxc the spring have el-axed to How, and, when not dwin dled almoxl to dual bed, the ancient mill Mtream are roaring I'kkkIx, for the xlojx' of the ridge are bared and the rainfallx ruxli from them a over roof of xlate, the billable are plowed up and down, preparing gut ter to feed the freshet with the noil that i far more precioux, in the eye of thoe who have been taught the art of xeeing, than the precioux inetnlx It ix the pasxinn and pride of the average American to xmite tlx- tree and xhoot the bird and xlaughtcr the lat of our ruuiiim; garni and if there are law for the protection of trees in park, or gamu law to nive thu ipiail and xquirrel, or to prevent xcouring the river with xeinx out of eaon, ami to pro vide 1'ndi ladder ami al-olibh llxb trap, they an regarded a tyranni cal, a xtyle of opprexxi'.n idenlilied only with ell'ete inonarcbie ami the tottering dt-xpolif of worn-out world The Imtl'i'ifo have Ihm-ii ex terminated, a noble rnce munlered, mo that they are hardly enough to xupply mtiHeum; and if there i a moon- left in Maine he ha been accidentally xpared. and must lie pursued by the hunter w ith reniore lexx fury to xhed hi bliM! to the tlual maacre. It i a crime to cut down the wood on a mountain, a crime to hecdlexsly kindle lire to burn forel; but oitr leople have no realizing acinic of the wort, and sneer at the Swia and Hermann, who re.iiire three Mrmitto fell onu tree. In New York there inlrug pie that seems hoclcx to prcxerve the remnant of the once majetic and alway romantic Adirondack wilderness. In our new state the statesmen dare not stand againxt the timU-r thieve. lu xome part of the adilre Mr. 1 1 alxtead rhetoric wax rather too intense for xcientillc accuracy; but, after all, the real ting of the indict ment i in it truth. To the teak-i-r'i hox'ful spirit the establishment of tixh hatcheries by the government, the effort to protect the seal of Meh ring Sea. and tin- reservation of the s;eiioia grove were act which gave promise of a time coming when more serious thought would he given by our nation to the preservation of it heritage, lie noted, loo, a hoiM-ful 1 indications, that arbor day were celebrated in maiiv slate; that tree planting by cbiblrcu had lt-coine l.i-lii'iiiable, and that the discussion .'. r t In' Adirondack woods, although it ini'lit not save the wilderness, W'.ul'l ultimately, Mrbap, save in.inv other forest. Wo feel in i '.nu ll to consider it another cheer U'H -i!ii that an orator of national r I i has felt iluM-lled, on that an i -i-.iry when A inerienn are in Ui- .r uiont exultant mood, to raise hi- oiee in earnest protest against tie iiikles destruction of our for- i-tf No higher public service can be rendered by the country' lead ing men than thu reiteration of warnings like this, until it come to 1m universally understood what thu ruin of our forest menu.

Thin rumor, how ever, ha called to jiuhlic attention other rumor of a similar nature re garding the Iriplu alliance. It wa stated recently, mi high authority, at Vienna, that ono of the unwritten argument of the triple alliance was, in the event of success in a conti nental war, to disable Russia for ever, by divesting the eiuiiire of Poland. Finland and the Maltic pro vinces, and couijiclliug the cxar to abandon St. Petersburg for Moscow, France at the same time to be com--lled to give up Nice and Corsica to Italy.
