FoRETATnitus' Dai.—Today, as we understand it, is the day celebrated now aa the anniversary of the landing of the I'llgrim Fathers at Plymouth in 1020. Until last year the descend-

ants of the Pilgrims celebrated the 22d as the proper day. After the lapse of about 250 years, they enme to the con-

clusion, by means of figuring and cal-

culation, that the wrong day had been

heretofore celebrated, and so changed the anniversary celebration to the 21st.

Either day will do, we presume, as

long as the occasion is properly ob-

served. The sons of New England throughout this section will bear the

day properly In mlud, and remember the Une'celebrations of it tliey have

seen in their old Kastern home. With

them it is a time-honored anniversary, as it ever should be. Among the most

loyal and truest of Americana are the sons of the Pilgrims, and by them lias the good old flag of the Union been alway- borno proudly and in honor, on lan>j and sea, throughout the world. They are proud ot their country, and their country lias a right to be proud of them.

DESTRUCTION OF TZKBKB.

The recent wholesale destruction of

forest by fire InWlsconsin, Minnesota and Michigan revives the question, which had already been suggested be- fore thesotlre·, namely, whenco I» the

future demand for timber to b« sup-

plied ? What with the ravages of the

flames and those of the woodman's ax, continued now for more than a cen-

tury throughout the Union, It is be-

coming a matter of difficulty to find a forest which contains the timber re-

quired for building and engineering. Tho wood has been felled with a

thoughtlessness but. little short of

downright folly, when it is considered that available trees require from 30 to CO years to attain to maturity ; so that a tree once felled oannot be replaced by the generation which witnesses its

fall. The meu of 1S71 are depriving those ol 1900 of their chance of obtain-

ing a sufficient supply of limiter, ex-

cept at an expensive rate. They might be excused for doing this If there ex-

isted any Imperative necessity for the destruction of that invaluable aitlole,

at tho rate at which it Is now going on; but there Is 1101:0, and according to the

reports of «bservant travelers who

have recently visited the forest regions of the West, It will not be long before tho whole of the vast region betweou the Mississippi and the Pacific will be

denuded. Very few seem to think it

necessary or advisable to plant young trees or seed lu the place of those

felled, and so every year the climate is

changing, the' rivers are drying up, and the whole character of the country is being affected. There never v\ aj a

peoplo so reckless of tbeir uoblo gifts as the American, especially where the

I spirit of gain prompts them, and In

this matter of the destruction 01 our

vast forests they seem to lose sight of tho fact that the after-consequences of

such short-sightedness will be felt very severely by our agriculturists and

others. It Is well known that where-

ever the land lias been denuded of

forest trees, periodical droughts follow as surely as the sun rises and sets.

Forests retain moisture In tho eai th, while vast tracts of cleared laud be-

come parchcd and dry. One of the

immediate injurious conscqucnues Is

the drying up of small streams. It has,

indeed, been frequently stated in the

Western papers tint the Mississippi, tho Missouri, the Illinois, and othor

large streams have become shallower of late years, and without going so far as some of these papers have In the ex-

pression of their apprehensions It is

easy to perceive that the cause of this decrease lu tho volume of water is

mainly owlug to the destruction of tl:e forests. similar denudation of the

country is one cause of the rareness of

rain In Egypt, and the Government there has taken the subject luto serious

consideration. But very recently the

late Imperial Government of France caused an lnqnlry to be made by scier.» tiflc men as to the results of clearing the forests in tho eouth of that country, and tho unaaimoue opinion of there

gentlemen was that very serious

change had been effected In tho climate

thereby ; it had become hot and dry, and consequently nnsulted to certain branches of agriculture which had for-

merly been very flourishing. Droughts had become frequent and destructive, and hailstorms sometimes took the

place of raiu. The same phenomenon Is now observed In onr Western States, and it has been stated that, during the

present year, on the Pacific coast, the

drought has been such that more than one-fourth of the wheat crop has been

lost. This is directly attributable to

the destruction of the forests in Cali-

fornia and Oregon, which lias been

carried on tliero during tho last twenty years on a gigantic scale. The New

York Evoniug Post properly asks

whether it Is uot time that a subject of

such paramount importance should be

discussed in Congress and in the Legis- lative bodies of every State; and whethor some stringent laws should uot be enacted to compeljthe individ- uals and the companies which are de-

stroying our majestic American for-

ests, to replant the waste places with trees wherever agriculture does not claim the land. It also suggests that

legislative measures should bo taken, with the co-operation of the Canadian auiuvt IHVOj l»-> MiO pvv|liw · »·· **v

selves and, It may bo added, will one

day have to suffer, as wo shall, from

their recklessness in this respect.

Tub Cai.ikornia Sknatoiisiiip.—On

Tuesday last the California Assembly took a vote on the election of · United

States Senator, Me, Sargent being the choice of that body. The Senato also

took a vote, resulting In eighteen for

Sargent and' tmpf-w for W. T. Wallace—one Senator being absent. A joint convention was to meet at 12 o'clock yesterday, which no doubt re-

sulted in the election of Mr. Sargent. , >

Tue Grrat Storm.—In Washington, tho Signal Servlco Bureau predicted the present storm from tho data fur- nished from places along the coast. A storm of rain with high wind was fore- told, and we aro having it according to the letter of the prediction. The

foretelling of this storm shows tho im- portance of the Signal Servlco recently organized by the (Jorcrnraent.

Grand 13am..—A grand Inaugural Ball took place on Tuesday night. In the Senate aud Assembly Chambers of the Capitol at Sacrauieuto, in honor of tho new administration. The papers of yesterday speak of it as most

magnificent affair.

A mas who was told by a phrelclan that his wife had» cancer, borrowed a

book in order to read upon the subject hlm?elf, after which he remarked to a physician that bo did not think his

wife had a caucer; "her symptoms were those of diagnosis, and if she had that It would kill her."

FROM STEAMBOAT.

Steamboat Springs. Dec. 21.—The

damage to the railroad track Is but

slight oompared with wluit was at first

supposed. The track is all passable, excepting the bridge over Dry Creek, which was badly damaged. A large force of men are now at work on it, and train» will commence running

regular trips this evening. Three

stages came through from Reno this

morning, bringing passengers and

mall», which were transferred to the

stages of Woodruff <& Ennor, and will

reach Virginia this ovenlng. The first

stage for Carson since Tuesday, left this morning. The fast freight teams of Woodruff & Eanor, Dyer and J. B.

Williams continue to make regular trips.

FROM WINNEMUCCA.

Winnemuoca, Nov., Dec. 18.—Yes-

terday, Natchez, Captain Sam and

Charlie, chiefs of the Flute tribe, were

put off the passenger train while at-

tempting to ride without paying fare. Sorious threats have beou made by the Indians, and Captain Natchez tele-

graphed the Superintendent at Wadc- worth If the ralleoad company found

obstructions on the track to attach no

blamo to him. Seriovs apprehensions «re felt for the safety of trains, as the

Indians have threatened to tear away the traok.

FROM CALIFORNIA. Emigrant Gat, December 18.—Snow

Davisville, December 19. — Five

Work.

There U a nobleness and even sa-

credncss in woik. Were he never eo

benighted, forgetful of his high calling, there is always hone in a man that

actually hud earnestly works; in idlo- ness aloue there is perpetual despair. Work, never so Mamonlsh, mean, is in communication with nature; the real desire to get work done will itself draw one more and more to truth, to Nature's appointment· and regula- tions which are truth. The latest Gospel in this world is,

know thy work and do it. "Know

thyself;" long enough has that poor self of thine tormented thee ; thou will never get to know It, I believe.

* *

It has been written "an endless sig- nificance Ht·; '.u work ns man per- fects himself by writing. Foul jun- gles are cleared away, fair seed fields rl«e Instead, and stately cities; and withal the man himself first ceases to l>e a jungle, and foul and unwholei some desert thereby. Considering how, even in the meanest sorts of lai bor, the soul of a man is composed Into kind of real harmony the in- stant he seta himself to work Doubt, desire, sorrow, romorec, indignation, despair itself—all these, like hell-dogs, Ho beleaguring the soul of the poor day-worker, as of every man ; but he bends himself with free valor against his task. All these aro stilled, all

these shrink murmuring far off Into their caves. The man Is now a man. The blessed glow of labor in him, Is it not a purifying lire, wherein all poison Is burnt up, and of sour smoke there Is mado bright blessed flame. Blessed Is ho who has found his

work ; let him ask no other blessed- ness. He has work, life purpose ;, ho has found It and will follow It.

Labor Ullfe; from the Inmost heart of the worker rises his God-given force, the sacred celestial life essence, breathed Into him by Almighty God ; from his In- most heart awakens him to all noble- ness, to all knowledge, "self-knowl- edge," and much else, so soon as work fitly begins. * * * Properly thou hast no othor knowledge bnt what thou hast got by working ; the rest Is all an hypothesis of knowledgo—a theory to be argued in schools, a thing lioatlng in the clouds in endless logic vortices till we try it and fix it. Work is of a religious nature ; work

Is of a brave nature, which It Is the

aim of nil religion to be. " All work

of man is as the swimmers." A waste »K«wft»nne f fluennp him ? If Ha

Man Srot.—At lato hour last

night W. II. Sweeney shot at and

wounded Tim Flunegan in the should· or. From the best Information we could glean, at the late hour of tho oc- currence, it appears that there had been s?:ne difficulty between the par- ties in the early part of the evening, iu which Finnogan called Sweeney some hard names, and on meeting to- gether afterwards Sweeney drew a

six-shooter and fired llvo shots in

rapid succession with the above re-

sult. Sweeney was at once arrested and placed In jail to await examina- tion. As we are not fully informed as to tho actual facts of the case, we reserve opinions until further devel-

opments are made. Tho wounded man was not dangerously injured.— Eureka SeiUintl, Dec. 17tit.

[From the 8. F. Al ta.] A ibll Embassy, probably the most

Important one lu it· results which hai ever been sent out by nn Eastern Power, will «all from Japau about December 23d, by tlio steamship America for Sail fTanoIsco. All who have gono from any Eastern nation heretofore have been composed of men ot Interior rank to these. This one le headed by Iwakura, late Minister ol

Foreign Affairs, now Prime Minister of Japan. lie comes as Prime Minis- tor, and clothed with all the powers ol an Ambassador of the first rank. Ho Is secluded by Kldo, Chlof of tho Em- peror'· Privy Council, and Okoboo, Chief Minister of Finance. Ito, Chlei Minister or Public Works, and Yama- goochl, Vlce-Mlnlster of Foreign Af- fairs, accompany tho Embassy as Am- bassadors of tho second class. Total, Ave Ambassadors, olght Secretaries, twenty-one officials (including a phy- sician,) and ten attendants—torty-four all told. Eight of these officials will continue around the world with the

Embassy, while thirteen will remain at students at different points where needed. All members of the Embassy continue to hold their rank and posi- tion while absent. Twenty-one yonng noblemen will also accompany the

Embassy as far as the United States, and remain here as students. One member of the Embassy will bo

detached at San Francisco to visit

Honolulu, whore there are at present about one hundred Japanese residing. Charles Wolcott Brooks, for twelve

years past Consul of Japan at San Francisco, has been attached to the

Embassy and ordered to accompany them through tho Uulted State· ana Europe. The objects of this Important mis-

sion are as fallows : Parliament has decided that It is desirable that tho

ruling classes should see for them- selves the advantages or disadvantages iderlved from foreign Intercourse, and not be hereafter dependant on reports of inferior and younger officers who have visited Western powers. Hon. Charles E. DeLong, our Minister to Japan, will accompany the Embassy as far as Washington, in his official capacity as Minister, to assist the United States Government In treating intelligently on such questions as may arise m Washington. This party is

composed of the nighest anil most In- fluential men in tho Empire : none higher can bo sent, save the Mikado himself. Their mission looks to a thorough

settlement of the still some what vexed

question of the advantages of complete foreign Intercourse to Japan, as well as to considerations connected with the revisions of the foreign treaties with Japan, to Lake place in July next. The Embassy l hot, strictly «peaking, a treaty-making one at present, but rather a grand corps of observation on whose report the future of Japan de-

pends. The appointment ot the Embassy

was a profound secret until a day be- fore the Great Republic sailed. Dur-

ing that time there was a perfeot bat- tle among the foreign diplomatists at Tedo as to whether they should first visit Europe or America; America

won. They nro due at San Francisco about January IS, 1S72.
