CALIFORNIA. Wool How few of our cit
liens who may see the nice bales of wool ~
ing upon our wharfs, as it comes from Sac
ramento, Stockton, or from other sources,
or as it is waiting shipment by our steam
ers to the east, ever pause and think of the
progress Of our State in the road to pros
perity and greatness. Let US repeat little
fact which we published IN jhly1 1869.
"In 1857, the whole amount of wool
shipped from California was fifty FIVE bales
of common coarse wool, worth 6, 8, or 10
cents. This year. only six years from thai
time, our clip will be over City thousand
bales. Here, is food for thought. If our
clip increases only 400 per cent. each six
yeats, we, should have in 1862, clip of
200, 900 bales, and in 1875aciip Of $50
600 bales. 1t should also be borne in mind
that instead CT our wool being worth to
10 cents pound. it is now worth here 20
to So; if we Say Is as the average-and
that is fair-and estimate the bales at 800
pounds each, our crop of wool for 1875
would be worth the magnificent sum Of
ninety -four million four hundred and sew
enty- i've thousand dollars. What glori-
Gus prospect ahead for cur State Andyet
it will be more than realized. ''-.Calif ornia

THE PURE ARABIAN HoRsE.-Mr. Giffor d
Palgrave has lately given, before the Geo
graz hical Society Of London, an account Of
his travels in Oman. a kingdom in the
southeast corner Of Arabia through which
he travelled in the guise of wandering doc
tor He had been absent from England
eighteen years. The fame Of cure, by an
in6nitessimal dose of strycbnine,s brought
him before the King at the Wahabite capt.
tai, and he there had two opportunities of
examiuipg Che royal stud, which consists
of The purest breed Of The Arabian Lorse.
the celebrated Nujji breed, none of which
had ever been OF, would be sent to Europe.
They were never sold by any chance what
ever. They could only be got either in war
or asyaJpresent, or as heritage from father
to soa Nv hatever we can imagine Of per
feet beauty in horse is said to be outdone
by them. They are a small breed, rarely
exceeding fifteen hands high. The prevail
ing color is gray. Not single bay could
be seen. Chestnut was occasionally seen.
Some were mottled, al few were white, but
none were perfectly black. The beauty Of
the race was the excessive cleanness of the
legs, which resembled those of the stag
more than those of the horse, in tie extra
ordinary delcacy of the muscle, the, grace
full sweep Of the launches, the beautiful set
on of the tail. aud In the extreme slope Of
the, shoulder blade, which gives these hors-
es a pliancy such as he had never seen in
any other breed. There were 100 horses
in the royal stables. ~ -sz-

for the purposes ofTparks and hunting
grounds. Many of1hese reserves are let for
a large rent during the shooting season. be-
coming source Of revenue to the owner,
while the land furnishes no means of living
to the poor. One such ''chase'' in Stat
lordshire Keeps out OF cultivation $1,000
acres. Five noblemen own about. one
fourth of Scotland. The estate of the Duke
of Sutherland comprises about 700. 900
