Ik speaking of our American forests, Consul Denny, writing from Shanghai, says: Some idea of the damage done bv fire to the Oregon forests may be had byobservingfromtho deck as the vessel proceeds along the coast towards San Francisco for two or three hundred miles of the distance, the half-consumed, broken, and decayed trees, once as fine as any that ever adorned a forest. Neither are these waste districts confined alone to the Coast Range, for they are found far too often among the forests throughout Oregon and Washing ton Territory. In this destruction "the uoblo red man" has played an important part. During the summer months, when everything is as dry as tinder almost, it is his custom to go into tho forest with squaw and papoose to gather berries, and when the pick is over the torch is applied to create now fields to take the place of the old ones, which arc continually being choked out by the heavy under growth, taking no noto of the con sequences, thinking only of the prolific crop of blackberries and raspberries the fresh vines which spring up will yield him when ho comes again. Then, too, fires often occur through tho gross carelessness of hunters and campers. Frequently the camp fire is left so that it com municates with tho surrounding dry leaves, then the work of de struction begins; or it is built at the roots of a standing dead tree, and, running to the top, is carried off by tho wind with the same re sult. Then, again, there is a want of caution in many cases in firing the grubs and dead- timber in the clearings, and great damage to propertv and forests frequently results. In'fact, once these fires are fairly started upon their ruin ous journev who can estimate tho loss or its character: Everything liofore them is consumed except earth arid water, -anil in their cagernesb for destruction small lakes and rivert nro leaped as though they did not rrois tlio fiery track. This condition of things lasts as long :e thero i fuel to feed tho. flames, or until they arc quenched by tho heavy rains. The recent terrible fires in tho State of Michigan will long bo felt by that commonwealth, ami while the proporty consumed was very great, and loss of life appalling, yet the destruction of timber was no greater than that wasted in this way annually in cither Ore gon or Washington Territory. Of course, the. mere destruction of timber, great ab it was, sinks en tirely out of sight when one thinks of the harrowing details of that great calamity. - Three whole counties it is said wore swept by the flames, consuming towns, vil lages, farm-houses, barns, out houses, and grain fields, and leav ing many thousands of people homeless sufferers. But that which gives to it a melancholy and ghastly reality, is tho fact that the blackened and charred remains of several hundred hu man beings, embracing in some instances whole families, were gathered from tho ruins. What punishment could bo inflicted that would meet the case if it should appear that all this suffering and death was tho result of criminal or even gross carelessness? The first important step towards tim-ber-culturo in the United States will have boon taken when more stringent measures are adopted looking to the preservation of her forests from tho annual fires which now sweep through them with juch fatal results. cver go shopping without con suiting tlie advertising columns of Toe Astobias.

The Chicago T',-ibuuo says auent ' the Chinese questien: Since tho peoplo of Massachusetts, through their rcpresc ntative, seem to be so J anxioua fov unrestricted Chine' immigrao on they should be per- j mittcd to have the benefit of it. Boston, might bo made a treaty MrJPagc said he made this propo sition in all seriousness. It was the argumentiim ad 7iominems and the Massachusetts members did not relish it; but it is a fair propo sition. They have no right to in dulge their philanthropy and be nevolence at the exppnse of Cali fornia. The proportion of Chineo J in that stato is alarmingly large, t Let them be excluded from the Pacific ports and admitted only to Boston, or shipped through in scaled cars from the Golden Gate to tho old bay state. Ilore is : teit of sincerity. Will the Mas-achu-setts members accept it? 'fh'io is a good deal of nonsenso being talked about the Chinese question in the House, the Republican sido is most conspicuous in this respect. There is danger that all, and more than all tho political advantage that- was gained in tho passage of tho Anti-Polygamy bill will be lost ii. ttie Chineso debate; yet the Republican platform of 18S0 and Garfield's letter of acceptance both declared in the mo3t"pos'tue terms in favor of a restriction of immigration. If tho party should lose the thre Pacific states through devotion to the missionary socie ties it may ask tho latter to make good the loss, "but they may not have the power to do it.
