MAMMOTH PLANKs


Ihc san Francisco bulletin gives the
following description of mammoth pla,ks
made from the big tree of California:
'Fisitors at the late fair of the Ne.
chanics' Institute may remember seeing
two mammoth redwood plaaks, which
were sawed at Noyo River, up the coast.
These planhs are the largest ever made.
and at great expense and trouble were
got out BY the exhibitors, uessrs McPher-
son i Wetherbee, Who desired to attract
attention to the great lumber resources
along :he northern coast line Of the State.
These are seven feet fye inches wide and
twelve feet long. and are free from sap
and knots. For the purpose of getting
them out, orders were sent on to New
York, to siessrs Spear d Jackson, for
II feet sash saw. As the largest saw
ever made of this description was only
10 feet long, the firm in New York
thought there must be some error in the
order, aad wrote to that effect to the par
ties here The order being repeated, the
steel plate was made in Sheffield, England
and sent to California. Some persons
who desire to exhibit the big planks at
the worlds fair 10 be held at Paris in
1867, have offered to purchase them, but
he owners have determined that it would
be more appropriate and valuable to the
State TO have our lumber interests repre-
septed at Washington. With this view
they istend donating one of the planks
to either the agricultural department or
the Smithsonian Institute at Washington,
where hundreds Of thousands Of visitors
can see it every year; and the other may
be exhibited at the worlds fair in 1867,
to be afterward donated to the British
museum in London"

Why PEOPLE go TO CHURCH.

The motives which induce different
people to 20 to church on Sunday, arc
very diverse: and in any particular case
rathc. difficult to determine. In the
words of poetic correspondent, some 60
to srend an hour Of idle time, some to
hear the new organ, and some 10 criticise
the preacher. Some 60 to show their
bonnets, some to see their friends, some
to fir.. "Some 90 to gossip with their
ne; ;.hbors, and some as respite from
their labors. Some go from an inward
sense of drty, and some from an outward
sense of beauty. Some 90 to church be-
cause they're made to, aud some so there
because they're 'fraid to do otherwise,
we surpose.) Soo,e go to sing, some go
10 sleep, some go TO gaze, ana some to
weep. But of this mixed and thronging
crowd, joining in the responses loud, how
many of them on Sabbath day, go there
to hear, to heed and pray:" Echo an|

Fierccst battle ever fought
Brightest triumph ever won
Clearcs, lesson ever taught
BY State, beneath the sun.
Noble people, when betrayed
BY a base apC,taie hand,
Unseduced, and undisTayed,
On the rock Of truth they stand.
Symrathizers with the wrong,
Friends Of traitors, stained with blood,
In organization strong.
Surging round US like food
We were strong in truth alone,
OUR organization trail,
Yet orr dictionary had
No such craven word as fail"
Holding truth with firm accord,
Clearly seeing eye to eye,
While We trusted in the Lord,
Still We kept our powder dry"

pulse denoting deep prostration Of all

alarmed, and realized with painful
anxiety the responsibilities of my posi-

secure him the justice Of a trial before

no country now but America. 1t was
for the honor Of America, not less than
