Prince Torlonia has promised the Jesuits
to purchase the magnificent Church of the
Gesu and the convent general of the order
in Rome, if these edifces, as expected,
are seized by the Italian Government. The
Prince will hold the property in trust for
the Jesuits. Both the Prince and the Pope
were greatly exasperated with the Mar

ceding to the tobaccoo monopolists of
Florence the manufactures at Rome, for
which he received an indemnity of $4,000

stone splits better than the common
white oak, and the grain is closer than
some fir which we have looked at; and
the trees are too large for any other
genus growing in the neighborhood save
the sequoia. In the largest tree we
counted ten rings or annual layers OF
wood within an inch near the heart,
and twenty-eight rings near the out
side. The rings grow thinner as the
diameter of the tree increases. Several
weeks ago we copied an account of the
finding of two lizards in these petrified
trees, the idea being conveyed that the
lizards had been surrounded by solid
stone ever since the petrifaction oc-
Cured. We are satisfied that there is
no good foundation for such an idea !;
and that the lizards had crawled into
cracks of these petrifed trees within a
few months, just as they do into the
crevices of any rock that gives them a
convenient shelter. Instead of having
lived for hundred thousand years,
these little reptiles had probably not
celebrated more than one anniversary
of their birthday. The Petrifed Forest
is an important fact, and the world will
probably hear much of it from learned
men. 1t is within two hundred yards
of the Calistoga and Santa Rosa stage
road, and tourists leaving here in the
morning can see all there is of it and be
back here by noon the next day.

The Petrified Forest of California.
From the Alta California.

From the Alta CaIIOrnla.
The "petrifed forest" discovered near
Calistoga last June, or then first made
known to the general public, is one of
the wonders of the State. The name
adopted by common usage conveys an
erroneous impression, for there is no
forest nor any petrified tree in a stand
ing position. There are parts of dozen
petrifed trees lying down and scattered
over an area about three hundred yards
square. The largest is five feet in diam
eter and about fifteen feet long, with
nothing to indicate what became of the
remainder of the tree. In no case have
any petrifed leaves or branches been
found, nor more than twenty feet of the
trunk of any one tree. The diameters
of the trunks vary from one foot to five
feet, the majority being over two feet.
The petrifcation is complete. All the
woody fiber has disappeared, and has
been replaced by grayish crystalliza-
ton that seems to consist mainly OF
carbonate of lime. The grain of the
wood is distinctly preserved in appear
ance, and also in the firmness Of crys-
tallization, for the petrifactions split
readily with the grain, SO that there is
no difficulty in getting long and straight
splinters. The ground near the trunk
is covered with large and small splin-
ters, which person ignorant of the
vicinity of petrifactions would not sus-
pect at first sight to be of any material
but ordinary wood discolored by the
weather Knot holes and fractures are
found in the stone, and occasionally
holes lined with transparent crystals of
! carbonate of lime.
One of the most singular features of
this forest is that every stone trunk
is broken across II ansversely, and at
every break the end is not so smooth as
if sawn, but more smooth than a trunk
broken in its vegetable condition could
be. The wood had certainly turned
into stone, or been replaced by stone
before the trunk broke. But the pieces
are usually short-not more than two
or three feet long, and the stone is
strong, and piece twelve or fifteen
feet long supported at the ends would
probably not break by its own weight.
We do not know that any person has
broken these trunks by design, and we
have no way of explaining the fractures
except by supposing that the trunks
were petrifed while upright, and were
afterward broken by falling.
Major Snyder informs us that while
he was Superintendent of the Buena
Vista Vinicultural Company, piece of
petrifed tree, about sixteen inches
through and two feet long, with square
ends, was found above the wine cellar,
which is cut into tufa and on the ada
cent vineyard of Mr.. Gundlach similar
piece was found. From the Buena
Vista tract to the petrifed forest the
distance, in direct line, is probably
twenty five miles, so the petrifaction of
large trees and the peculiar fracture are
not confined to small space.
The tree was probably redwood. The

Society and Fashion.

GLoRIFIED bugs and impossible butter
flies seem to be all the rage for female
adornment this spring.
A NEW color, called blue-green or pea
cock green, is very fashionable for bon
nets and costumes this season.
LADIES' dresses. hats, &C., of the years
1850, 1878 and 100, are said to be SINH
lar to those worn at the present time.
"LoNDoN smoke" is the fashionable
tint for scarfs.
The Lady Herman" is the name of a
new and pretty bonnet.
AN Ottawa, ILL.,, undertaken advertises
that he keeps or hand "an elegant
stock of neat and nobby shrouds, war
rented to give satisfaction to the most
particular. .
Wells are squares Of dotted net, or
gauze, the former edged with real thread
lace and having a narrow ribbon run
through the top, in quite old style.
A DISPOSITION to lengthen the skirts
of walking dresses is shown by our for

it is steadily opposed by our native
fashion artists.
THE Adams seamless edge, a low turn
ed-down collar, with wide space left
between the points to show the scarf-tie,
is a novelty, designed for gentlemen
with large necks.
AN effective style of trimming black
silks and satin when they are worn for
full, evening, or dinner dress is to
founce and ruffie them with black
Chantilly lace, over plaitings of Mech
lin or illusion.

HORRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT. - At

mangled bodies of two unknown boys

with poles and lines. They appeared to

therefrom under some freight cars
which were standing on side track.
The wind forced the cars into motlon,
and the unhappy victims met mlsera-
BILE fate. The bodies were dreadfully

| his heart Oh, it's folly to interfere
He's beyond all hope! did think the
excitement of my wedding would wean
him from it, but not bit of it. He
looked at my new things as calmly as
an oyster, and only said-it is not kind
of me to repeat it, though" broke OF
Jenny.
"What was it he said?" inquired
Belle, laughing heartily. Don't fear
for my feelings"
Why" he said, "I'll stand up
with your friend, Belle, and see you
safely married and then I'm off to
winter in Paris. I'm done with love
on my own account. It's positively
awful"
And so Belle thought, as she looked
at her old slipper and glove lying be-
meath a globe on either side of the faith
full Richards mantle.
"And," said Belle, since he desires
only to meet me on the morning of the
wedding, so it shall be. [ will be in
troduced only as we are leaving the
house, and he can do as he pleases
about continuing the acquaintance af-
terward."
Belle was radiant with happiness when
she returned to her father, and delight
ed his fond heart with the change, for
she had been very quiet of late.
Jenny and Belle shopped and talked
and visited together for the next few
days, and when the eventful morning
girls, Belle shone like queen, the
bride was eclipsed, and delightfully."- &C
knowledged it.
"Oh, Belle p she said, "I long to
have old stoical Dick see you. Hark
there's his foot step. Come into the
next room and be introduced. Don't
wait until the carriages come it is an
hour yet"
And Belle, with a beating heart, swept
through the door and stood even as
Dick first saw her, only in the place of
the gray travelling dress, a magnificent
white satin fell in rich folds about her,
and upon her lovely white throat lay
the turquoise locket that held Dicks
golden curl. Upon the beautiful head,
crowned by its chestnut hair, coronal
of pearls added to that grace and beauty
of an image that, shrined in Dicks
heart, was already an angel.
Belle did not look up, but she felt
the presence, as Richard Marcy came
up and was introduced to little Jen-
ny's old school-mate. Then, as he
held out his hand, she raised her
eyes, and laid her tiny hand in his, and
said:
/" I think we had better rectify that
mistake about the travelling bags, Mr..
Marcy /"
"Good heavens, Jennyr' said Dick
Marcy. "Why didn't you tell me that
your friend Belle was my angel of mer-
cy?'
Because didn't know it until last
night, and then Belle made me promise
not to tell. And. besides, you didn't
want to meet the freckled school girl
until it was positively necessary" re-
turned Jenny, mischievously.
1t would be hard to say which of the
four that made Jenny's bridal party was
the happiest that day.
Dick did not go to Paris that winter.
He found that St. Louis contained more
attractions than any foreign city.
But the next fall will see Dick and
Belle on their wedding tour, ard he
vows he will have the two, romantic
travelling bags brushed up for the occa-
sion. DR.. Townsend, who is to be along,
says he knew the minute he saw the
girl she would one day be Angelica, as
he '' felt it in the air."

Still Life.

No summer from the outward world
DlSturbs the slumbrouS summer air;
SoOthed with sweet visions of delight,
She sits, she dreams, my lady, there.
So soft her breathing and so low,
Life scarcely seems her pulse to thrill;
All mute and motionless tits life,
Yet life how still
Her fancy's form to shadow forth,
Her girlish scheme of art to trace.
The pencil scarcely had essayed
hen sleep came down upon her face
BY thoughts own sweetness overpowered,
She glided into pleasant dreams,
Joyous and bright. as yonder sun
Through easement CLEANS.
Fair dreamer, in that vision world
In which your spirit now is free.
What glad ideal meets you there?
Or deign you bend to such as me?
Or draw you inspiration forth,
AS soon your tablet there shall show.
From visions which the waking eye
Lacks power to know?
Ah well! as sunlight on the sea,
Or respite from consuming strife,
Are moments, maiden, snatched, like these,
From out the hurricane of life.
Still life it is; whate'er your dreams.
Whate'er the thoughts your fancy fill
Enough of joy tits thus to live
The life that's still.
