The Lar~est Tree in the World.

There is a cedar tree growing in the
mountains of Calaveras county about 20
miles northeast Of Murphy's, which is said
to be the largest tree in the world. A
correspondent of the Sonora Herald, who
recently made an excursion to see it, thus
describes it:
At the ground, its circumference was go
feet; four feet above that it was 88; and
ten feet above that it was 81 feet in cir
cumference, and after, the tapering of the
shaft was very gradual. It's height, as
measured by Capt. H. is 800 feet, but
we made it but 1885, This tree is by no
means a deformity, as most trees with
large trunks are. 1t is throughout one of
perfect symmetery, while its enormous
proportions inspire the beholder with emo
tons of awe and sublimity. Elegance
and beauty are inseparable concomitants
Of its grandeur.
[ have said that this is the largest tree
vet discovered in the world. 1t is so.-
The celebrated tree of Fremont would
have to grow many centuries before it
could pretend to be called any thing but a
younger brother. 1t is said that tree
was once found iii Senegal in Africa, whose
trunk measures 80 feet in circumference
But no one has ever been to find it since
its first discovery. 1t is called by the
natives Baobab; by botanists, Adansonia
digitata. But it is admitted that none
can now be found with circumference
greater than 81 feet There is a tree in
Mexico called the Taxodium, which is
said to be II feet in circumference, but
some have said it is formed by the union
of several trees. The height Of all these
foreign trees is not more, in any case, than
70 feet; and none of the trunks are more
than 10 feet
The age of this mammoth cedar of Cal
ifornia, if each zone may be reckoned one
year, is about $500 years. A section Of
the wood which I brought home with me,
exclusive of the sap, which is but little
more than one inch, numbers about IA
zones or grains to the inch. AT that rate
if it were permitted to grow, it would in
crease its diameter one seventh of an inch
everyyear. In 84years it's diameter would
be increased one foot in $40 years 0 ft
so that it would then be 40 feetin diam
eter, and 1870 feet in circumference.
This giant Of the woods and of the
world is to be fayed, literally. The pat
riotic process has already commenced
We understand that the base is about l.
inches thick, is to be taken off in sections
to the height of 50 feet, and sent to th'
Worlds Fair in the city Of New York.

USEFUL RECIPES.

TO KILL LICE ON CATTLE.-Nothing is
more simple, more efectual or more east
ly obtained than common lamp oil, one
quart of which is sufficient to drive all
and every species of vermin from an OK
of the largest growth. Let stream be
poured along the back from head to tail
let another encircle the body just back of
the shoulders, and again fronting the hips
round the fanks; all of which should be
rubbed, SO as to spread it over the animal
as much as possible. Particular atten-
ton should be given to such parts as the
animal cannot reach. have seen both
cattle and hogs cleaned in this manner, by
one or two applications when they have
been fairly alive with the vermin. Such
treatments of essential advantage to neg
lected, NANCY pigs in the spring of the
the year, whether infested with vermin or
not, as the oil has a great tendency to re-
move the dry scurf with which the body
is always covered in such cases, prevent.
ing their growth by closing the pores OF
the skin, and obstructing that healthy,
though insensible perspiration so natural
to eli creatures.
