TAtt Tnrrs.-We are in the habi.

TALL TRREs.-We are in the habit Of
riding ourselves on the possession Of
the largest trees in the world, but re-
cent researches in Australia have shown
that although the thickness Of our Cali
fornia giants may not be equaled, their
hight is considerably exceeded by q spe-
cies of Eucalyptus, q vegetable form
characteristic Of Australia. Specimens
of various nights have been measured,
and the tallest actually subjected to this
test gave an altitude Of $50 feet; but
another, having o circumference of 81
feet at a hight Of four feet from the
ground, was estimated to be over 500
feet high. The talless spire in Europe,
the Munster Of Strasburg, is 466 feet
high; the great pyramid of Cheops is
4s0 feet both exceeded by these Austria
Ian trees.
The Eucalyptus tribe Of Australian
trees embraces q number Of species Of
great economical value, as, while the
timber is excellent, the growth is far
more rapid than that Of any others
known, and their ability to resist the
greatest drought, and even flourish in it,
point them but as eminently fitted for
cultivation in more or less desert re-
gions. How far, as a form e%minently
Australian and Old World, the Ecua-
lyptus would answer for growth in Cali
fornia and other comparative rainless
districts of America, can only be known
by experiment. Other Australian trees,
as the Acacias and Casuarinas, might
DO employed for the same purpose-pos-
sibly enabling US to start a belt of forest
timber in what is now q desert; and
thus, in time, retaining entire u
tries from d~esolation.

TIE majority Of tho people who sue.
coed in their life do not do so by any
single stroke, or sudden leap into q de-
sired position. It is by small savings
aud overwork that most gains in time
as well as in money are made. Speak
ing Of this fact, the London Saturday
Repie,o says, that Sin literature, as at
the bar, or indeed in any %avocstion, 1t
is constancy which insures success and
good work and c~onstancy is nowhere
so well tested as by pe~rsevering utiliza-
ton of margins, alike of time and of all
the other material of production. It is
the extra half hour q day which wins
the half hour which q student devotes
to gathering up the fragments that are
left, to noting down the stray unused
facts, to placing them under old heads,
or to inyenting new heads which may
comprehend them, to summing up the
proceedings Of the day, and to fixing in
his mind as nearly as may be its most
faithful and suggestive products"

INDIAN WEAPONS.

Some Of the Western and particu-
larry Kansas papers are complaining
that the Indians are too we'll supplied
with guns, pistols, and other white
mons weapons, instead Of being kept
down to their regular bows aud arrows,
tomahawks and scalping-knives. They
censure the conduct Of the Peace Com
missioners, and ome say that they have
done no good; that the war will break
out again next season. One paper
charges that a lot of Springfield rifles,
revolvers, powder and ball were distrib-
uted at once to the Indians with whom
we have been at war, ard that the set
tiers 10 the moro exposed localities will
soon be made to suffer from the fatal
gift.
The Missouri Democrat takes up the
gauntlet in defense of the Commission
ers, aud declares that no Springfield
muskets at all were delivered to any
Indians, and no muskets or revolyers to
the tribes who have been at war. A
few old-tashioned hunting guns, and
cast-iron reyolvers, that wouldn't re-
volve, were given to the Kiowas and
Camanches, who were good Indians and
had done none of the fighting, but the
wicked Cheyeunes, who acknowledged
that they had done it all, were merci-
lessly excluded from the reception OF
these pleasing gifts.
The Cheyennes, however, appear to
be o people of resources Indians who
can "paddle their W canoe" They
wouldn't have accepted o fsuch weapons
if they had been offered. They had
better arrangements. They had pur-
chased of traders, and helped themselves
from the soldiers and emigrants, with
whom they had come in contact during
the short war, so that when they came
in to treat with the Commissioners, they
not only had several hundred good
American horses, and mules, but every
warrior of them had q fine Spencer or
Sharp's rifle, with plenty Of Ammunition,
and one or two Of the largest size Colts
revolvers, the best ever made, with
plenty of cartridges. Even the innocent
Kiowas and Camanches felt insulted at
the weapons given them BY the Com
missioners ; they wouldn't have them at
all, but threw them away in disgust,
rangrily demanding if those were "white
mar gifts"
Pistols are only made to kill people
with, and it would seem rather Of an in,
consistent idea in the Peace Commission
thus to provide the Indians with them
under any pretext whatever. Yet that
makes no difference the "plumed rider:
Of the Desert" are evidently we'll posted
in such matters, and will have none but
the best. It would not be at all sur
prising by and by to hear of their being
armed with needle guns and Chassepo'
ihes.

A MODEL GRAND JURY.-Thc last
Grand Jury of Humboldt county, OF
which Hon. N. S. Thompson, formerly
State Senator, was Foreman, was q
model in its way of retrenchment and
reform. A similar Grand Jury in Sto-
rey county would doubtless effect some
public good for the taxpayers. The
Humboldt jury knocked the smoke out
Of som of the bills which had been al
lowed county oficers-whose aim, evil
IDENTIFY, seemed to beto gobble up about
all the money which came into the
treasury. Thompson ought to come
over here and get upon a Storey county
Grand Jury. We append a few of the
findings of the Grand Jury in Hum
boldt, which are decidedly interesting
and will do to cogitate upon.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
We have examined the proceedings OF
the Board of County Commissioners
from January LIST, 1867, to the present
time; and have also examined all bills
allowed by that Board for the same per.
iod, and find that they have allowed
extravagant, erroneous and extraord-
mary bills against the county, in viola
ton of law, and therefore deserve the
reproof and reprobation Of the tax pay
ers of the county; among which we will
mention the following bills:
First, the bill of G. X. McCulloch:
Anguish. 1857.

Sworn TO before me, this 10th Oct, 1857.
I'D. MINOR, Co. Clerk.
We find that A. D. McCulloch, Coun.
ty Commissioner, was the teamster re-
ferred to in the above bill, and that the
team belonged to him. We also find
that tho bill was first made out
and presented in the name of A.
D. McCulloch, but afterwards with.
drawn and the above one substi.
tuted. We find that the bill was
allowed by two members of the Board,
L. L. Highly not being present. We also
find that another bill was allowed at
the same meeting of the Board to an
other party, for a portion of the services
allowed in the above described bill.
We are satisfied, from the evidence be-
fore US, that the team was not in actual
employ of the county for tho time speci-
fed in the above bill.
Second. J. N. Woodworth's two bills
for arresting and bringing Thomas Nc
Laughlin to KNOXVILLE, conflict with
one another, being charges made under
different laws covering the same subject
matter, both being allowed out Of the
Redemption Fund by the Board. The
total amount of both bills is $l,4o9 AZ.
Third. Bill of o. NJ. Evans; amount,
$24o, Sl2O of which was allowed for
expenses in going from Unionville to
Sprague's, a distance of 6b miles.
Fourth. We find that the Board al
lowed to the Sheriff $33 80 per week
for boarding jailor. We also find that
at the same time o. K. Stampley was
allowed by the Board $40 per week for
boarding Of prisoner, and believe that
the Tailor could have been boarded at
the same rate.
