Remarkable Trees.

The Redwood of California (Se-
quota) has now wide spread repu,
tation, and is believed to be the
lGrgest of the New World. One of
these gigantic trees was blown down
about twenty or twenty-five years
ago in storm, and it measured 112
feet in circumference at the base.
1t contained burnt cavity for the
distance of 200 feet, high enough for
person to ride through on horse
back. 1t was estimated to be $50
feet high, constituting a colossal pill
lar of living timber, which overtop-
PEG most of the lofty spires and
monumental structures in the world.
What a giant production to have
sprung from one little seed, less than
a grain of wheat
The Bantam or Burr tree of India
(FIcus IndicG) is one of the most
curious and beautiful productions Of
the vegetable kingdom. Each tree
is itself a grove, being composed of
numerous stems or trunks, which are
connected together, and have the
size of a large tree. A celebrated
Bantam stands on an island in Hin
dostan, and is said by the natives, to
be 5000 years old. 1t is described
by Milton in his paradise Lost, -
and is supposed by some to be the
same tree visited by Nearchus, an
officer of Alexander the Great.
The oldest tree in the world, but
not the largest, is supposed by some
to be the Cypress of Somma in Lom-
hardy, Italy. 1t was known to be
in existence in the time of Julius
Caesar, forty-two years before Christ,
and is therefore more than 1900
years old. 1t is LOG feet in height,
and 20 feet in circumference, one
foot from the ground. Napoleon,
when laying down the plan of his
great road over the Simplon, port
on one of the Alps, diverged from a
straight line to avoid injuring this
noble tree. Others however, claim
superior antiquity for the immense
and venerable tree of Calavarai
county, California, which is supposed
from the number of concentric Cir
cles in the trunk, to be 1866 years
old.
The largest rosebush in France
and perhaps in the world, is at TOu
Ion. 1t measured two feet eigh
inches in circumference, near tn,
ground.

Jefferson's ten rules are good yet.
especially so for those who have the
training of the pupils in our public
schools. They are SO short and
concise, and embOdy SO much of val
ne, thatit would be well if they were
clipped and put where we could see
them often. They read as follows
1. Never put off till tomorrow
what you can do to-day.
2. Never trouble another for what
you can do yourself.
8. Never spend your money be-
fore you have it.
4. Never buy what you do not
want because it is cheap.
5. Pride costs more than hunger,
thirst and cold.
s. We seldom repent of having
eaten too little.
Z. Nothing is troublesome that We
do willingly.
8. How much pain the evils have
cost us that have never happened.
9. Take things always by the
smooth handle.
10. When angry, count ten before
you speak; if very angry, count a
hundred.

The advertising columns of our paper show
that some fine sport mag be had during
Christmas week on Judge Lees race grounds
near the city. Mr.. Grand recently brought
to Austin some Of the finest blooded stock
from the farm of Maj. B. F. Cocherill, near
Nashville, Tennessee. Of these, Diggie Dun
lap, fine three year old FLY, closely allied
by blood to the celebrated race horse Socks,
is now in training at Mr.. Costley's track.
Teunepecan, q beautiful four year old colt by
Lightning, dam by Wagner, is in the same
stable and will make his FIRST appearance on
q race track during the Christmas races. We
note also, among the fine stock brought out
by Mr.. Grand, the thorough bred race horse
and stallion, Bulletin. He was a noted racer
of his day, and has some very fast colts now
running at Nashville, Memphis and New Or
leans. Bulletin is by old Lexington, and we
learn that an effort is being made to get him
a season near this city. He is as finely bred
as any horse in the United States 1t will
pay breeders of fine stock to come to the
Austin races, commencing the 25th inst, as
there will be an exhibition of some of the
best stock ever brought 10 this country.

Word 70 Girls.

The woman who is Indifferent to
her looks, is no true woman. God
meant woman to be attractive, to
look we'll, 20 please, and it is one of
her duties to carry out this intention
of her Maker. But that dress is to
do it all, and to suffice, is more than
we can be brought to believe. Just
because we do love to see girls look
well, as well as to live to some pur-
pose, we would urge upon them such
course of reading study as will conr
fer such charms as no modiste can
supply. A well known author once
wrote a very pretty essay on the
power of education, to beautify. That
it absolutely chiselled the feature I;
that he had seen many a clumsy nose
and thick pair of lips, so modified
by thought, awakened an active SEN
timent, as to be unrecognizable. And
he put it on that ground that We so
often see people, homely and unat-
tractive in youth, bloom in middle
life, in softened Indian summer Of
good looks and mellow tone.
