winds, it was covered with metal plate

After five years the tree was removed aud
found to weigh 1863 pounds and about three
ounces, the leaves which fell every autumn
not being included in this weight. sThe
earth, on being removed aud again dried,
was afterwards discovered to have lost only
about two ounces Of Its original weight ;
thus 1850 pounds Of woody fibre, brake, or
roots, were produced, and the air proved
to be the source Of the solid element
at least. The atmosphere contains q
notable amount of carb0nic acid, which
is compound Of: oxygen and carbon

An English gentleman Of some i distinction

An English gentleman OF some distinction
who happened recently to Visit Ayrshire,
in one of his walks, after the fashion of the
Times Commissioner in Ireland, entered
a rude cottage on the hills with the view of
making personal observation of the intel

The war news continues to excite the liveliest
interest on Change, and sometimes discussions Of
On almost Won Bismarck and Olivier character
occur between buyers and sellers where their mu-
tua interests are at stake, and to which the neu-
trails like ourselves listen with profound attention
and edifcati0n all however without any hostilties
or interchange of an nHimatum.
The impression exists among those who profess
to he the knowing ones that If the beligerent Pow
ers don't soon come to blows the price of wheat
will receive heavy blow, and the hopes OF profit
able commissions and investments will come to
grief. There are those on Change who, being
skilled in the art of war; think that the war will be
short one, while on the other hand there are some
who, being skilled in bombs (proofl, think there
will be a protracted explosion and paying one.
We have now to say word to farmers:
First. Clean your wheat well.
Secondly Don't send 1t to market in o damp
state.
Third Sample 1t uniformly. ...
Fourth Remember that If you don't take ou
advice you will rue and
Filthy. Remember that the failure to do as We
say places your commission merchants in 3 very
awkward and embarrassing position, and prevents
them from securing for you the prices which you
think they ought to secure.
The position of commission merchant Is one
Of much responsibility and anxiety. They, as in
duty bound and In their own interest, take all the
pains they can to promote the farmers welfare,
but TO our own certain knowledge they are often
hanpered by unwise instructions from the far.

A BosToN1AN's REPORT FROM CALrFoR-
aIA.-We have seen the Yosemite valley,
and done that elephant. 1t would sound
too much like Munchausen story If were
to attempt any description of it. Imagine the
biggest valley you can, filled with marvel
lous rocks, rivers, waterfalls, and foliage,
with shanty hotels and Indian wigwams /;
then scratch your head and multiply by
fourteen then scratch again and double
your first product; and then 50 round to
Barton's or elsewhere until you Gun, see
double all you had before, and you will be-
gin to get an idea Of Yosemite. Everything
in California is big. The walls Of the Yose-
mite valley are nearly perpendicular, and
average 1000 feet high-eighteen times as
high as Bunker Hill monument-and 1t has
cataracts fifteen times higher than Niagara.
The big trees are curiosity also. Talk of
Bunker Hill monument beside some of
them, and you might be laughed at for
Dragging on q toothpick. Another person
and myself rode through hole in one OF
these trees Oh horseback, our horses
abreast, and had plenty Of room to spare
