erto it has been the practice of some
culturists to obtain cuttings from the
wild grape vines growing along the
banks of the streams, and these, af-
ter having been rooted. have been
sold over the country for Chasselas.
Catawba, Isabella. or any kind that
might be called for. Forsign varie-
ties have been comparatively scarce
in the State, and the high price has
been an inducement to the tnprinci-

vines for the more hardy and better
foreign grape. Almost every one who
has tried to cultivate the grape in the
mountains of California has had some
experience, teaching him that the la.
bells attached to vines grown in the
valleys are not always to be relied
on. His Catawba and Chasselas
vines will kill down every winter, and
when one accidentally bears. it is
found to be anything but the kind he
purchased it for. Of the vines sold
in this market, large proportion
would not be taken as gift by ex-
perienced vine growers. They are

who are planting vineyards in the
valleys. They are imperfectly root

unsafe to plant. Being unsaisable be-

the varieties fit for this elevation and

admonishes us that vines should
not be purchased of irresponsible per-
sons. Only those men should be pat

purchase vines or trees in large num-

the articles are such as sold for; be-
cause the damage is not alone in the
loss of the article itself or its price;

Is OUR CLIMATE GROWING coLvknl

The unparalleled number Of cold,
freezing days of last winter in this re-
gion-cold beyond any precedent
and the indications thus far that the
present winter is going to be like its
predecessor, has caused some to be-
lieve that the climate is growing col
der. Those who came to California
in 40 and passed the first winter out
of doors or in tents would have "slept
cold" during such nights as we are
now having. Whether this sort of
weather is to continue in future win
ters, or whether it is only an acciden>
tai "cold snap" in the cycle of ages,
to be followed by the old sort of
weather, is what many of us are puz-
zled to find out. Climate does change.
The travels of DR.. Livingstone, Am
derssen and others in Southern Africa
demonstrate that region is undergoing
desiccation, or is drying up. Broad
and deep channels of ancient rivers,
abounding in shells, are frequently
met with completely dry. with every
indication that at mo- very remote pc
riod large and fertilizing streams fill
ed their banks. That the climate of
that region was formerly more moist
is beyond doubt. The time when
rivers flowed in now deserted chan
nels in Southern Africa may have
been when the elephant and masto-
don fourished on Siberian plains.
The probabilities are, however, that
the change of climate in Africa is Of
later date. 1t is not beyond the
tradition of the inhabitants, If, indeed,
the gradual change is not to be seen
going on.
If The old records of Denmark are
to be credited, Greenland formerly
enjoyed a milder climate than at pres
ent, and the proverb of the Icelanasrs
-"Iceland is the best country on
which the sun shines"-may owe IT'S
origin to an era when sunshine was
the rule and frost the exception, or
when the gulf stream more powerful
than now, threw its hot pulsations
around that ice girt isle, warming it
up to the temperature Of perpetual
spring.
The old sagas Of the Danes tell as
that Labrador was once a desirable
| place to live in, with its vines and
other productions of genial climes.-
Perhaps some record of early Cali
iforDia, may be opened in the far fu-
ture to disclose to our remote posteri.
ty the truth that their fathers lived
in land Of the vine and olive, but
that the lichens for The reindeer and

~ Old claims, bearing the kick
marks Of previous Legislatures are
coming up before the present assem-
bled wisdom at Sacramento, "thick
as leaves that strew the autumnh
brooks" &c. and among the number
appears that nice little account Of
Messrs Thompson and Forman for 60
ing to Washington to mportune the
President to send assistance to put
down the vigilance committee in San
Francisco. Governor johnson en-
pfoyed these MEN as agents OF the
State. But he had no authority SO
to do. Without the concurrence OF
the Legislature 10 demand upon the
President made by the Governor
could be acceded to. In the case of
a domestic insurrection the voice of
the Legislature as we'll as the Exec
utive must be consulted as to the pro-
priety of calling in aid to suppress it.
The business of Governor johnson
was, to convene the Legislature and
procure authority to send agents to
Washington before sending them. In
1espatching Messrs. Forman and
Thompson he acted wholly without
the pale of executive duty. and is re-
sponsible alone for the payment of
their servives. He had no more right
to employ them in that capacity than
to survey the mountains of the moon.
If such charges are to be paid a pre-
cedent will be established by which
some proAigate Governor may bank
rupt the State in the employment of
an army to fight grasshOppers in
Utah. When an agent is legally en-
ployed he should be paid, but the
State is no more bound to honor the
illegal paper of a Governor. than the
warrants issued ty Controller with
out the color of law. When hes off,
