Production OF rms ALMOND TREE.-We
find the following account of |. single almond
tree in the Santa Barbara Press Of the LIST:
Even our own people have verv made
quate knowledge. at least many Of them, A.
to the growth and productveness Of the
almond. In the kitchen door-yard Of Mr..
Forbush stands an almond tree which is only
three years DID, and measures forty inches in
circumference yard from the ground, while
it casts shadow ut monday fifteen feet
across, and the tree now stands twenty feet
high. Last year it bore eighty pounds Of
nuts, worth $40: the year previous. eighty
pounds. worth $35, and this year it promises
TO bear eighty pounds. worth $40. Quite q
valuable shade tree, is it not? Yet how few
have even one growing. So we said last year
Of dis fine tree. 1t is now april |, 1871, J
forty-nine iuches in circumference, twenty
five feet high and full of young nuts aud

WASHINGTON, March 81, lS11.-The FIRST
thing 10 strike a newcomer in Washington
this spring, surprising him to be not unfami-
liar with affairs in the politicsl city during
the past ten years, is the increase in to pew
er and dignity, in numbers and self-respect.
Of the Representatives of the Democratic par
ty. Ii is, of cou,se, in the House that this is
especially manifest. In the Senate the Dem
ocra,s have gained in ability bat ability is
not manifest at first glance and in the House
their gain in number is apparent at once up
on the most careless survey of the chamber.
THE Democratic side" used to mean a little
narrow segment on the Speakers right; now
the dividing line has swung away over to the
central aisle, and only few Republicans are
to be found inside cf it. One realizes that
there is an opposition party in the country,
when he sees James Brooks about the middle
Of the hall and hundred men following his
lead and supporting the valiant objections of
Mr.. Eldridge in his old neighhorhood. Such
condition of things makes the party formid-
able in many ways. and especially formida-
bic in lis own estimation. 1t bears itself
2raadly. Where it was spiteful it is row
sturdy. Every member of its symmetrical
phalanx seems to saw, in his bearing IL not in
his words, "Stand not out Of the Wayne
are coming" 1t has gained in courtesy, too
with tie improvement in its fortunes, or
rather il has exchanged the old snarling
style which has marked the Democracy in
| the House since their Southern allies left their
seats for lpftier md more graceful inso-
lence. When Mr.. Nihack shouted across
the chamber, the other day. his protest of
Gen. Buffers spesking of ''his friends on
the other side. !" that they acknowledged no
such friendship, the interruption was brutal
enough, but it came with more impetus that
there was party and not an insignificant
faction behind it. And when Mr.. Eldrdge
indicates purpose to tlihuster, il is not q
threat to be sneered at for hundred reso-
lutte men can easily tire out hundred and
fifty, with the instruments which rarliament-
airy devices put in their hands. Moreover it
is to be observed that the minority is just big
enough and not too hig TO maintain perfect
discipline. II is compact ard perfectly drill
ed. No scrup!es of conscience, no difference
Of opinion divide it's connses.

DAMMING THE TRucKEE.-The White Pine
Necs relates the following: Rev. Balcom.
the Baptist Indian Agent for Nevada, has his
head quarters somewhere on the Truckee, in
the vicinity of where Indian tradition locates.
wanderingiv. the site of Nye's mythical saw
mill. Balcom and the friendly Indians built
dam across the Truckee, between Wads-
worth and Pyramid Lake, which cuts off the
trout from ascending the Truckee to spawn.
The people of Reno didn't care so much about
the spawning, but thew didn't like the alter
native Of doing without fish or paving on. too
many spondulics for fsh which course OF
ra,nre unohstructed would be sending past
their doors. And accordingly the people OF
Reno sent n man down TO the dam with five
pounds of Giant Powde-. The man placed
the powder against the dam and set match to
it. He retired to friendly tree like Jonah
under the shade of his gourd. and waited
not long, for in a minnte he heheld the dam
high in the air, and the material thereof fly
ing to the abode of the four winds.
Mr.. Balloon is preparing for another dam.
and the people of Reno have more powder.
There is prospect of a Dam war on the
ground. The Reno people, Jealous of their
eiscatorial and riparian rights ale determin-
ed to rio cut all the dams which have no trout
ladders on their breasts.

RIDDLE--E50 REwARD.--The celebrated
Annie Steward left in her will bequest Of
ESQ to be given to the person who should
solve this riddle. We believe the reward has
never been claimed:
The noblest object in the world Of art,
The brightest gem that nature can impart,
The point essential IN lawyers case,
The well-known signal in the time of peace,
The farmers prompter when he drives the
pl,w,
The soldiers duty and the lovers VOW,
The planet seen between the earth and sun,
The prize that merit never ve. has won,
The miser's treasure and the badge of Jews.
The wIfe's ambition ard the narson' g dues,

A corresponding word of every line,
Bv the first letters quickly will be shown
An ancient CITY Of no small renown.

THE OLD TURNPaKE

We hear no more the changing hoof,
And the siage-eoaeh ratIliug by.
For the steam king rules the travel worlds
And the old pixies left to die
The grape creens a'er this ainty path,
And the steaIthy daisies steal
Where once the stage horse, day by day,
Lifted his iron heel.
No more tire wesry sfacer dresds
The toll Of the coming morn;
No more the bu>tiing landlord runs
At the sound of the echoig horn
For the dust lies still upon the road,
Ard the bright-eved children play
Where the gathering h"oi and wheel
Rafting along the way.
No more we h. ar the cracking whip,
And the stroug wheels run,bling sound;
All ah the water drives us on.
And an iron horse is found
The coach stands rusfng in the yard,
The horse has songht the plow,
We have spanned the world with an iron rail,
And the steaII-klng rules US now.
The old turnpike is a pike no more;
Wide open stands the gate;
We have made ms n road for our horse to stride,
Aud we ride at a flying rate;
We have filled the valleys and leveled the hills,
Aud tunneied the mountain side,
And around the rough crags dizzy verge
Fearlessly now We ride.
Op-on-on-wth naughty front,
puff. a shrek. and bound
While the tariy echoes wake too late
To echo back the sound:
And the old pike road is left alone.
And the strangers seek the pillow;
We have circled the earth with an iron rail,
And the steam king rules now.
