We are satisfied that with proper hands it
will saw fifteen hundred feet of poplar per

great reason to congratulate yourself upon
having constructed q most excellent Mil,
which will doubtless supeTeede those con-

sent to put the mill mp and start 1t for us,
seems to be an excellent machinist. Our

Big Trees ip FRESNO County, Cal.

While most every body has heard OF
the big Tree grove of Calaveras, Mar
ipOsa and TUlare Counties, but few have
heard of those of Fresno. There are two
of these groves situated in this county.
One in the northeastern portion NOV
about to be attached to MaripOse). the
other in the southeastern portion Of the
county. While the. former contains
many large trees, we shall cOnfine our
selves to speaking Of the latter, which,
without doubt, contains the largest tree
in the State. 1t is situated near what is
known as Peoples Mill, and is about
sixty miles from this place in a SOUTH
easternly direction. The largest tree of
the grove measures one hundred and
twenty-five feet six inches in circumfer-
ence, and, it is nearly four hundred feet
in height. 1t is said by those who have
seen it, to be q beautifully formed tree.
On the ground one is lying which has
been followed out by fire, and three
men can ride abreast through the hOl-
low for distance of about seventy feet,
when they may have the privilege OF
passing out through a knot hole, or
wheeling their horses about and going
out the same way they came in; mOst
all prefer the first method, however. A
man on horseback cannot reach the ROOF
of this wooden cavern with his riding
whip at any place during the distance
Of seventy feet, If any person is desir-
our Of literally ''gOing through a knot
hole they should not fail to visit the
Upper Kings River grove of big trees,
in Fresno County. The trees in this
grove are represented as being all Of
them very large and very symmetrical
in form,

road, about mile or more in LENGTH
I which the late king constructed for the
! benefit of the foreign residents. There
are but few streets, and these are very
narrow; but the various palaces and
| temples generally have wide open spa
ces by which they are approached from
| the water.
There are about two hundred Euro
! peans in the city, principally missiOna-
/ ries and merchants, with their families.
The chief of police, the harbOrmasteT,
the pilots, several captains of vessels,
! and some naval officers, are foreigners
chiefly English and American. A
/ Frenchman is at the head. There are
very many Chinese, mainly from the
district about the city SwatOw, who are
! by far the most industrious people in
/ the place; they are found in all trades,
and the pOll-taX levied on them forms
no inconsiderable portion of the royal
revenue. The entire population is vari-
Ously estimated at from 50, 900 to half
million; from information derived from
the missionaries and from some OF the
natives, I should conclude that it is in
the neighbOrhOOd of quarter of mill
lion or about one twenty-fifth of the
population of the entire kingdom.
A large number of the people live on
the water; the poorer in their boats,
those of more wealth in floating houses.
These curious edifices are built upon
RATS of bambOOs about four feet thick,
and are by no means devoid Of pretense
to arhitecture. The material of which
they are constructed is generally tea
wood, with thatched roofs. They usual
ly have a veranda in front; and here
are exposed for sale the wears of the Oc-
cUpant, or it is used as a playground by
the children. I visited a native photo
grapher's, and was shown over the
whole house. In the veranda was a
swing for the youngsters: the front room
had bare floor, with a centre-table and
half dozen chairs; several photographs
adorned the wall. The bedrooms OPEN
ed off this, with sliding doors, and the
kitchen opened out on a backyard of
water. The river furnishes water for all
purposes, and is at the same time the
common sewer Of the city. The houses
are mOOred with bamboo cables to bam-
boo piles driven in the bed of the river,
so they can rise and fall with the tide,
and yet not be carried away by it. They
certainly possess one advantage, that of
being easily moved; the occupant desiT-
ing to change his location has only to
mmOOr his cables, take advantage of
the tide, and so up or down stream as
he chooses. It a novel sight to see
one of these edifioes come drifting
down the stream at night, brilliantly
Illuminated and with no noise or COufI-
sion apparent. Most of the houses are
built upon piles, near the river bank,
only the palaces being built of brick or

The Hay Fever

This unpleasant form of summer ca
tarEh is more common in England than
in this country, yet there are many per-
sons here who regularly, during this hot
weather, are attacked. The disease COM
mences with a Catarrah of the upper air
passages of the nOstrils, rapidly increas-
ing in severity; violent sneezing comes
on, with a secretion of thin and very
irritating fluid, and in a few hours pain
full Inflammation of the nose follows,
and next fever, violent headaches and
great prOstratiOn, The affection oOntin-
Ues with greater and less severity until
cold weather comes on. The disease in
England has been ascribed to the effiu-
vium of hay, but recent microscopic ex-
aminatiOns of the nasal secretion have
detected the presence of ''vibrOnes,H or
infusOry animalcules of a low order and
supposed to be the cause of epidemic
disease, The examiners of the seeretiOnS
who for twenty years had been afflicted
with hay fever. determined to try the
effect of qUinine, which, it has been dis
covered, has poisonous influence upon
infusoria. He therefore took a satura-
ted neutral solution of sulphate of qui-
nine in water, in the proportion of l
part 74O. This liquid eXcites a mOder-
ate sensation of burning in the nasal
mucous membranes. Lying upOn his
back, he dropped the solution by a cam
els hair pencil into each nOstril, at the
same time moving his head in all direc-
tiOns to bring the fluid thoroughly in
contact with the parts until it reached
the gullet. The relief was immediate,
and three applications day We're suffi-
Gient to prevent q return of the disease,
The experiment was repeated for three
successive summers, and each time was
successful.

The city extends along the bank of

miles-ten, I should think-and by no

what isin the Bedroom,

IF two persons are to OCCUPY a bed
room during the night, let them step on
a weighing scale as they retire, and then
again IN the morning, and they will find
their actual weight is at least a pound
less IN the morning. Frequently there
will be q loss of two or more pounds,
and the average loss throughout the year
will be a pound of matter, which has
gone Of from their bodies, partly from
the lungs, and partly thaOugh the pOres
of the skin, The escaped material IS car
bonic acid, and decaYed animal matter
or poisonous eEhalatiOn. This is diffus-
ed through the air in part, and part alb
sOrhed by the bedclothes. If a SINGLE
ounce of wood or cotton be burned In a
room, it will so completely saturate the
air, with smoke that one can hardly
breath, though there can only be an
ounce of foreign matter in the air. If an
ounce of cotton be burned every half
hour during the night, the air viii be
kept continually saturated with smoke,
unless there be an open window or door
for it to escape. Now the sixteen ounce

Summer in Russia,

IL may be said that the Russians have
no summer clothing. But the Russian
seasons are sharply defined. Winter is
winter with vengeance on the hanks
OF the Reva, and summer is a time of
constant daylight, of brightness, dust
and considerable heat. The sun has
scarcely dipped below the horizon, and
left long red lines in the northern sky to
fade slowly away, than he appears again
little to the east of north as if lie had
never really set. The day is so length
ened out that it seems dOublY q summer
day, and the people all the while are 90
ing about IN great coats. There is no
Disgusting the fact that great coats and
boots are a Russian fOible. We can not
wonder that men whose winter-time is
so severe cling resOlutely to what will
guard them from the nipping frost. But
it has an odd effect to see men dressed
as though for Crimean campaign when
the Unprejudiced foreigner is only just
able to bear his lightest summer suit.
Here comes a party of naval or military
officers wearing their OverCOats with ut

These pleasant public gardens, with
deep shade along the walks, and an es-

cold whether will not take us by sur

not so safe. The ladies, however, are

RecOUeTy-P -PrObd6le-Of his BOdy after
Lying IN the Mississippi for 300 Years.
An extraordinary, and, withal, Gu
riOus story regarding the probable dis
cOvery of the cOppeT-fastened coffin con-
tanning the body of the renowned ex-
plOrer De Soto, is told by the Memphis
appeal. 1t appears that Capt. John
COWdOn, who for many years has de-
voted himself to the task of dragging up
wrecked vessels from the fathOmless
abyss along the Mississippi, has studied
the peCuliaTities and wonders of that
mighty river as none have done before ;
his diving-bell boat, with its rude ma
chinery, is the wonder of all. In this
cuTiOusly formed structure of aTchitec-
ture he mades his endless VOYAGES, and
not long since dragged up from the bot
tom of the Arkansas q locomotive and
train OfcaTs. It is affirmed that beneath
one of the countless fOrest-crowned
islands that dot the 'iFather of Waters -
there rests a steamer on which are 500
parrels Of brandy and at least 800 Of
whisky. The. captain has marked this
spot and proposes to invade the great
rum-hOle of the dwellers cat the bottom
of the Mississippi. i."-Another steamer,
4C444ACooCCg was bulh dDOub GulIGN wears
ago, having $4,000 in gold in an iron
safe on board. She rests beneath an
other island which Cowden has often
traversed. For several weeks past he
has been making survey of other To-
calities which may contain uncounted
wealth, and while Inspecting the water
line along the eastern shore he discover
ed the bow of small Oopper-fastened
vessel prOtruding into the river. It was
also observed that trees from five to
seven feet in diameter grew Immediate
ly above the buried boat, and that the
roots of these gigantic Expresses were
twined about the ancient vessel.
The theory of John COwdOn is that,
considering its dimensions, twice as
great as those of a modern yawl, its COP
per fastening, the length of time it has
rested beneath the soil and water, as
shown by the mighty trees that stand
above it, the sunken craft contains the
body of the three hundred years buried
De Soto. Who doubts? We do.
