California Big Trees.

Professor Asa Gray, the retiring pres
ident of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, gave, at
the opening session, an interesting sketch
of his botanical observations at the
West, referring particularly to the big
trees" of California, the Sequ0id gigGnted,
their history and relation to the fossil
trees of geological ages. Of the possible
theories respecting these forest pheno-
mena, Professor Gray maintained that
they were the ineal successors of a pre-
historic race of trees which once crowd
ed the hills and valleys of the world.
His argument is summed up as follsws /:
At the beginning of the Tertiary period
the northern temperate zone was re-
gion of perpetual summer. Gradually,
glaciers rolled down from the north,
driving all vegetation far to the south.
Then a warmer climate came again, and
freed the greater part of the Northern
Hemisphere from its fetters of ice. As
these melted away, vegetation extended
northward, but not to Its former limits.
These facts furnish clew to the history
of the "big trees" If their ancestors
were numbered by hundreds of thou
sands, their fossil remains must exist in
the strata formed by the great ice-hood
that swept over the northern half of the
globe. Research has found the fossil
Sequoia gigantea throughout the Miocene
formations of Northern Europe, and in
those of Icelsnd, Spitzbergen, Green
land, Alaska, and the Rocky Mountains.
All of these fossil specimens are almost
the same as the "big trees" of to-day.
This crucial test shows that before man
sprung from the dust of the Garden of
Eden, according to Genesis, or was evolv-
ed from the ape of Northern Africa, ac-
cording to Darwin, the !Sequoia gigantea
belted Northern America, Asia, and
Europe, and the islands of the northern
seas.

China and Glass Fabrics.

Many of the exquisite forms given to
those beautiful specimens of earthen
ware which form the service of our
breakfast ana our dinner tables, are not
capable of being executed in the lathe
of the potter The embossed ornaments
on the edges of the plates, their polyg-
onal shape, the gilded surface Of many
of the vases, would all be difficult and
costly of execution by the hand but
they become easy and uniform in all
their parts, when made by pressing the
soft material out of which they are
formed, into a hard mould. The care
and skill bestowed on the preparation
of the mould are amply repaid by the
multitude it produces. In many of the
works of the china manufactory one
part only of the article is moulded-the
upper surface of a plate, for example,
whilst the under side is figured by the
lathe. In some instances, the handle, or
only few ornaments are moulded, and
the body of the work is turned. An
other instance which may be cited in
illustration of this peculiar kind of me-
chanical operation, is'that of glass seals.
As is well known, the process of engra-
wing upon gems is one requiring consid-
cradle time and skill in order to insure
perfect result. The seals thus pro-
duced can therefore never become COM
mon. Imitation, however, are made, of
various degrees of resemblance, and
these have extensively taken the place
of the genuine article.
The color which is given to glass, is
perhaps the most successful part OF the
imitation. A small cylindrical rod of
colored glass is heated in the flame of a
blow pipe, until the extremity becomes
soft. The operator then pinches it skill
fully between the ends of pair of nip
pers, which are formed of brass, and on
one side of which has been carven in
relief the device intended for the orna-
mentiny of the seal. When the requisite
care has been taken to heat the glass in
a proper manner, and when the mould
has been we'll finished, the seals thus
produced are not bad limitations, some
of them being extremely beautiful in
their appearance. They are produced
in very large quantities and at a small
cost.

Changing the Subject.

An attentive "little pitcher" had
heard her father instruct older brothers
and sisters that when, in the course OF
conversation, subject came up that
seemed to be disagreeable to any one
present, etiquette demanded that il
should be changed as quickly as posi-
BILE. Some days after, her father said to
her as he left the house:
"Mary, papa wants you to be very
careful, if you play in the garden to-
day, not to touch the hyacinths. Will
you remember"
. OF course she would but on papa's
return in the evening he found his hya-
cinths picked, and the marks of the lit
tie feet in the garden-bed.
Calling Mary up to him, he looked
very grave, and said:
"My dear, you remember that 1 told
you particularly not to touch the hya-
cinths, and now l find them picked, and
no one has been in the garden but you
How is this ?"
Mary laughed and said

birds nest, and there was a great big
butterfly"
"Wait, wait, my child. 1 am talking
to you about something else now. Don't
you understand me? 1 am very seri-
ously displeased with you. told you

Mary, how dare you answer me SC

about your disobedience. Why do you
not attend to me? 1 shall have tc

Rather sobered at this suggestion
"little pitchers" countenance fell, and
she faltered out:
"Why, papa, you said that when g
subject became unpleasant to any one
the only way was to change it,"
Papa saw the point, and the unpleas.

PLANTs.-Probably all florists have
observed that the white blossoms of
plants are more apt to be fragrant than
those which are highly colored Pale
and white blossoms predominate in the
northern regions. We may therefore
conclude that the relative number Of
odorous flowers is greater toward the
pole than toward the equator. 1t would
seem that the too powerful action of
light and heat is opposed to the emana-
tion of flowers, and we see many speci-
mems which are scarcely fragrant during
the day, become SO in the evening or
during the night. But if the odors emit
ted by the blossoms are more frequent
in the north, the reverse is the case with
the essences enclosed in the glands. Plants
with fragrant leaves, aromatic fruits,
and wood penetrated with essential oil,
are scarcely found except in warm or
tropical climates

Age of the Presidents,

Gen. Grant is one of three of our Pres
idents who have passed their fiftieth
birthdays in the highest place an Amer
lean can reach, the other two being Mr..
Polk, who entered the Office about seven
months before he was fifty years old,
and Gen. Pierce, who became President
in his forty-ninth year.
Gen. Washington was in his fifty
eighth year when he became President.
John Adams was in his sixty-second,
Mr.. jefferson was in his ffty-eighth,
Mr.. Madison in his fifty-eighth, Mr..
Monroe in his fifty-ninth, John Quincy
Adams in his fifty-eighth, Gen. Jackson
in his sixty-second, Mr.. Van Buren, in
his fifty-ffth, Gen. Harrison in his sixty
ninth, Mr.. Tyler in his fifty-second,
Gen. Taylor in his sixty-ffth, Mr.. Fill
more in his fifty-frst, Mr.. Buchanan in
his sixty-sixth, Mr.. Lincoln i'll his fifty
third, and Mr.. johnson in his fifty. sew
enth year.
Gen. Harrison was the oldest man
ever elected to the presidency, and Gen.
Grant is the youngest. Washington,
jefferson, Madison and John Quincy
Adams were all in their fifty-eighth
year when they entered the presidency,
and Mr.. Monroe completed his fifty
ninth year only fifty-fve days after he
became President and Mr.. johnson was
in his fifty sixth year when he succeeded
President Lincoln.
Four Presidents went out of Office in
their sixty-sixth year, namely, Washing
ton, John Adams, Jefferson and Madi-
son. President jackson was the oldest
of all our retiring Presidents, as he went
out of Office only eleven days before the
completion of his seventieth year. Mr.
Buchanan left Office fifty days before he
became seventy years old.
The President who lived longest was
John Adams, who died in his ninety
first year. The next Oldest was Mr.
Madison, who died in his eighty-sixth
year. Mr.. Jefferson died in his eighty
fourth year, John Quincy Adams in his
eighty-frst year, Mr.. Van Buren, in his
eightieth year, Gen. jackson in his sew.
enty-ninth year, and Mr.. Monroe in his
seventy-third year. The youngest re-
tiring President was Gen. Pierce, who
went out of Office not quite four months
after he had completed his fifty-second
year.
Mr.. Polk retired in his fifty-fourth
year, and died in little more than three
months later, at the age of fifty three
years, seven months and thirteen days
youngest of all our Presidents in death

COurting in Siberia.

When once the young beau among the
Korakas becomes infatuated, he makes
known his passion to the father of his
affinity, and expresses his desire to strive
for her hand. A kind of contract is i'm
mediately entered into, by which the
young man binds himself to the father
as a servant, for term of years, at the
expiration of which time he can have
the pleasure of learning whether the
daughter will haye him or not. In this
manner, if the father be the happy pos
SCISSOR of beautiful daughter, be may
have half dozen men to do his bidding
at one time. When the term of servi-
tude expires, one of the place, armed
with thick sticks and pieces of seal
thongs, is then stationed in the pologs
suspended around the room. The daugh-
ter then appears, thickly clad in skin
garments, followed by her lover, when a
race ensues around the enclosure, the
contestants lodging about among the
pologs. To win his bride he must over
take her, and leave the print Of his nail
upon her person, before she can be res
cued by the old woman, who, during the
race, impedes the lover as much as pos
sible by beating him with sticks, trip
ping him, and by seizing his legs as he
rushes by. The advantage is all with
the girl, and if she does not wish to be-
come the wife of the pursuer, she can
avoid him without difficulty. On the
contrary, if she likes him, she manages
to stumble, OF make known her wishes
TO the old woman, who then only makes
show of impeding her pursuer. Some
times the lover Is desperately smitten,
and just after being foiled he returns to
the father and binds himself for another
period of years to have the privilege oi
another trial.

A French ROmancer.

Our own newspapers, enterprising and
inventive as they are, do not inform us
OF all the surprising things that happen
in this country, as, for example, witness
the following from the Paris Figaro i:
at is known that the railroad FROM San
Francisco to New York passes through
the reservation of several tribes of
Indians, who invariably regard the
locomotives as terrible monsters created
by the Manitou to exterminate the red
man. Several times already the Indians
have attempted to throw the trains off
the track. In these enterprises they
were led by one Of the fiercest of their
chiefs, q Cherokee named Naha, and
surnamed the Mocking- Bird. All their
attempts having failed, Naha resolved
to change his tactics. Accordingly, on
the I'd of June last, he concealed him
self near the rails, and, with extraordin-
ary activity, bounded upon the foot
board of the train No. 81, from San
Francisco to New York. He then slip
ped along the train till he reached the
locomotive, where he killed the fireman
with blow of his tomahawlS, stabbed
the engineer with his knife, and, after
scalping them, jumped on the tender,
brandishing the scalps, and bowling out
a savage war-song. The settlers along
the line became terrified as they saw the
train, which now dashed along at fear
full speed, driven by the ferocious engi-
neer. The passengers all cried out for
help. Their situation was extremely
perilous-;n fact, they were running into
the jaws of death. Finally, an officer of
the navy, Henry Pierce. determined to
sacrifice himself to save his fellow pas
sengers. Armed with long dirk-knife,
he ran along the foot-board of the train,
and jumped upon the engine. The chief
uttered war-cry and brandished his
tomahawk, and a hand-to-hand struggle
was commenced over the bodies of the
engineer and fireman. The passengers
put their heads out of the windows, and,
with an anxiety which may easily be
imagined, tried to see the fight. In
about minute Mr.. Pierce fell mortally
wounded under Mocking. Bird, who in
the twinkling of an eye scalped him.
But, while he was triumphantly waving
the scalp of his victim in the air. Mr..
Pierce, who was still lying, had sufficient
strength to jump up and lunge his knife
into the Indians breast, killing him
instantly. He then crawled to the
valve-handle, shut off the steam, and the
train stopped. The passengers ran to
the assistance of this brave officer, but it
was too late; he died two hours after

The Californian Trade.

California is literally choked up with
grain-at the same time that there are
no adequate means to transport the sur
plus to distant markets. The DaiIv BuL-
tetiS says:
at is calculated that not more than
one third of the products of the San
Joaquin Valley can be transported to
markets, and the farmers were making
preparations to house the grain during
the balance of the year. As it chances,
this will make only the difference be-
tween storing the grain on the farm and
on the seaboard, owing to the absence of
shipping accommodations at San Fran
cisco. If all the surplus grain in Cali
fornia could be sent to San Francisco,
there still would not be half enough
vessels to transport it to market. Taking
into calculation the grain already ex-
ported and all the vessels in the foreign
and coasting trade available, and the
number that will arrive in San Francisco
during the next four months, it is esti-
mated that the total tonnage capabilities
will be only available for moving an ag-
gregate of $6,500,OOO centals, or only
about half the assumed surplus of the
crop. And even this estimate assumes
that all the tonnage to arrive during the
balance of the season will be chartered
for the grain trade, and makes no &C
count of the demands for carrying lum-
Der, coal, dye-woods, and other products. u

A few weeks since a well-educated
young woman, the daughter of wealthy
parents, suddenly disappeared from her
home in an Eastern city. She was f.
nally discovered, dressed in suit of her
brothers clothes, and working in car
riage-factory, about forty miles away.
When taken back, she avowed that her
sole object was to be talked about.

1t has long since been demonstrated
that sea-water contains an appreciable
amount of silver, and recent calcula-
ton shows that, if equally distributed.
there must be in the oceans of the world
some two million tons of the precious
metal, or more than has ever been dug
out of the earth. Silver in the sea Is
only one of the thousand illustrations of
the fact that solid substances may be
made invisible by chemical processes,
Just as a silver half-dollar may be dis
solved in a very small amount of nitric
acid, the coin disappearing, while the
fluid is as clear and transparent as
before.
