WONDERFUL TREES.

Charles II. Dennison writes as fol-
lows to the San Francisco Bulletin:
aWhile on a visit to Calistoga
Springs I was told of petrified tree,
which could be seen by going upon the
mountains, about five miles distant. AS
it was rare, or uncommon, to find such
petrification above ground, and being
much interested as an amateur in geol-
ogy, / went with the landlord of the
Springs hotel to the locality, and, very
much to my establishment and pleasure,
l discovered twelve petrified trees ly-
ing upon the ground. The largest of
the number is about twenty feet in
length by six feet in diameter, the roots
being below the surface of the soil.
This tree is broken in seven places,
squarely across, proving conciuslveIy
that it was petritied when it fell. 1t
cannot be otherwise, for no such frac-
ture of living tree was ever seen. L
looked around around hoping to see
one of them standing, but saw none.
They all show the same fracture, being
broken squarely across the trunk, with
the parts separated as they struck the
ground for foot or SO by the weight
of their fall.
They are situated upon a small hill
or elevation rising from the plateau
and the hill was not soil but rock, which
crops out at intervals. There are many
similar petrifcations, am told, in this
State, but thus far all of them have been
found below the soil. / think Doctor
Lardner mentions a case where he sup
posed the trees to have been pushed up
from below By some convulsion after
petrification occurred, but / have never
heard of any other discovery of such
trees lying on the surface. On Sunday
two gentlemen visited the locality and
reported that they found more than for
" of the same trees within mile.
have no doubt of it, as of the twelve
saw, found the last two, accidentally
coming off the ground. Being stran'
ger, and unacquainted with the variety
Of trees which grow in this State, an
unable to tell what kind of species
the trees are but the wood is cilicified
having the quality of scratching glass
and shows occasional crystalizations OIL
opalized spots through and upon it"

Mr.. Ebenezer Knowlton, Principal of
the Ricon Grammar School, of San
Francisco, recently wrote to DIR. III. L.
Holbrook, editor of the Herald Of
Health, requesting him to make ar
rangements with PAGER Weston for
walk of 500 miles, from California to
Oregon. In his letter to the doctor, he
says: "If you can prevail on Weston to
come to California, I'll walk him 500
miles, over the Sierras, into Oregon, or
Mexico. Goodspeed and Walkingshaw
shall be referees. and will settle all dis
putes by reference to Walkers Diction-
airy. Weston furnishes an example of
how q man may cultivate his Iader-
standing. 1t must have cost him great
trials Of sole to accomplish his last great
feet. (feat.) However, L trust that his
injuries, If any, may soon be toe-tally
keeIed.n Mr.. Knowlton some years ago
was the champion gymnast at Amherst
College.

THE MORMON CURRENCY.

The Mormons reached Salt Lake VAL
ley in an utterly impoverished condi-
ton. The cash capital of the entire
community would not probably have
exceeded $1,000. The California migra-
ton furnished them market for their
surplus products but as they had small
use for money, they preferred taking of
the miners instead of something which
they could either eat, drink, or wear,
and not procurable at home.
AS they increased in numbers and
m ans, merchants established them
selves among them thus enabling them
to use their small stores of money in
the purchase of needed supplies. Their
great distance from market, and the
small proportion of their crops which
would bear transportation have, howev-
er, at all times made money extremely
scarce, and have led to the perpetra-
ton of a complicated and often anu
sing system of barter.
Hundreds of farmers living in reason
ably comfortable circumstances, and
having large families to clothe and edu-
cate, will not see dollar in money for
years. Such a farmer wishes to pur-
chase pair Of shoes for his wife. He
consults the shoemaker, who AYERS his

Seven water-melons purchase ticket

for the tuition of his children seventy
five cabbages per quarter. The dress

MRS. CHARLES DICKENS.

Mrs Dickens was lady of moderate
height, with full, well-developed form.
beautiful face, and good figure. call
to mind the high, full forehead, the brown
hair gracefully arranged, the look
of English healthfulness in the warm
glow OF color in her cheeks, the blue eyes
with tnge of violet, well arched brows.
Il well-shaped nose, and mouth small and
of uncommon beauty. She was decidedly
handsome woman, and would have at
tracted notice as such in any gathering OF
ladies anywhere. She had quiet dignity
mingled with great sweetness of manner.
her calm quietness differing much from the
quick, earnest, always cheerful, but keen
and nervous temperament OF her hus-
bandAa temperament belonging to the
existence, and absolutely necessary to the
development, of Il great genius like that
of Charles Dickens. Mrs. Dickens was
accompanied by her favorite waiting
maid, Ami, a warm-hearted English
girl, believe London born and bred, and
devotedly attached to the family. Ann
had many cockney notions, and it was
pleasant to hear her comical expressions
of surprise at our American words and
weys. She had got very strong impress
sion of the wildness of our country, espe-
cially the West, which Mr.. Dickens intend
ed to visit, and anticipated no small
danger from the Indians. Mrs. Dickens
felt Il mothers snxiety for the little ones
left at home, and seemed impatient to
return to them. They brought from Eng
land a large pencil drawing of their four
children, "Charles, Walter, Kate and
Mary" made by their friend Maclise, the
eminent English artist. The picture was
framed and wherever we aiterward went
it was at once taken from its case and
placed on the mantie-piece or table. Mr..
and Mrs. Dickens talked constantly of
their children, and seemed to derive great
comfort from the pictured presence oftheir
little ones. The picture possessed also
great attraction for the thousands who
called, and who were much interested. of
course, in the children Of their distin-
guished visitors.

ABSENT MINDED.


The following stories are told of the
Observation-Disclosures of clergyman OF the
church of Scotland:
He married rather late in life, and the
marriage tour was on the continent. AT
one of the hating places, Mrs. -- re-
tired to the hymeneal bower in advance OF
her lord, who sat for time cogitating
down stairs. Presently he came to him
self, and summoning the waiter. requested
to be shown to his bedroom He was, of
course, shown to the room to which his
wife had already retired. But he had for
gotten all about matrimony and what it in
volved, and recoiling from the doorway in
horror, turned upon the waitor with angry
upbraidings for showing him to a bedroom
already occupied by woman.
One Sunday morning he was dressing in
his bedroom, on a chair OF which lay q
tray containing halfa dozen shirts, starched
with fitting clerical stiffness. He pro-
gressed leisurely in his dressing till he
came to attempt fastening his waistcoat,
when he found that operation impossible.
After many Intellectual struggles, he called
his wife to his aid, who likewise found the
waistcoat insurmountable. She was at q
loss to explain the phenomenon, till she
happened to cast her eyes on the shirt tray.
1t was empty. The minister, in his absence
of mind, had put on the whole half-dozen
shirts, one on top of another, and it is no
wonder that his waistcoat would not but
ton.
On another occasion he and his wife
were under invitation to dine ut the man
sion of the laird of the parish. The min
lister had been out for hard days work.
visiting his parishiOners and when he
came home, little late, he found the mis-
tress alreacy dressed and waiting. He at
once went up stairs to make his toilet,
with strict injunctions from the good lady
to be quick. He was so slow, however,
that she got impatient, and went to see
what was the cause of the delay. Enter
ing the bedroom, she found the worthy
man placidly enjoying his first sleep.
Having undressed, it seems that, in his ab..
sence of mind, he had taken it for granted
that the natural sequel was to go to bed.
and he lay, totally oblivious of the dinner
party at the laird's.
