A House in California One Thousand
Years Old

The loftiest house, and the most per
feet i'll the matter of architecture |
have ever seen, was that which a wood
chopper occupied with his family one
winter in the forest of Santa Cruz
County. 1t was the cavity of a red
wood tree, two, hundred and forty feet
in height Fire had eaten away the
trunk ut the base, until a circular room
had been formed sixteen feet in diane
ter. At twenty feet or more from the
ground was a knot hole, which afford
mocks hung from pegs, and few cook
ing utensils hung upon other pegs,
that house lacked no essential thing.
This wOodman was i'll possession of Il
house which had been a thousand years
in process of building. Perhaps, on the
very day it was, finished he came along
and entered in. How did all jack-knif
and hand-saw architecture sink into in
significance in contrast with tl.is house
in the solitudcs of the great forests
moreover, the tenant faIed like a
Prince. Within thirty yards of his
coniferous house a mountain stream
went rushing past to the sea. In the
swills and aud eddies under the shelly
ing rocks, if one could not land half a
dozen trout within an hour he deserv-
ed to go hungry as a penalty for his
awkwardness. Now and then a deer
came out into the openings, and, at no
great distance, quail, rabbits, and pig
cons could be found. What did this
man want more than Nature furnished
hint He had'a house with a "Cupola"
two hundred and forty feet high, and
game at the cost of taking it. This
Arcadian simplicity would have made
a lasting impression, but for a volun-
teeI remark, that nothing could be ad
ded to give life more perfect zeal,
well, yes" said he, ~ reckon if you
are going back to town, you might tell
Jim to send ME up a gallon of whisky,
and some plug tobacco 1t will not
do to invest a hollow tree with TO much
of sentiment and poetry. If that mes
sage had not been suggested, we should
have been under the delusion to this
day that the lives of those people,
dwelling in house fashioned a thou
sand years ago. were rounded to per-
feet fulness, without one artificial

of our worthy citizens. Mr.. I. H. Oliver,
who spent twelve years travelling In
all parts of Europe, Asia and Africa.
They are of great length and of the
most antique cOnstl uctiOn. One of
them has a barrel five feet long, made
of the finest steel, curiously carved and
inlaid with gold and platina. The IN
laying is deliberately and beautifully
done. The stock of this gun Is of eb-
ony, inlaid with silver, pearl and ivory.
The flint lock, of antique pattern, with
springs and works all outside the plate,
is finely inlaid with platina. The bar
rel and stock are bound together by SIX
solid, deliberately wrought silver bands,
and all the mountings are of silver or
gold. To the stock is affixed a but
plate of ivory, very handsomely inlaid.
The bore of the gun is five-eighths of
an inch. On its side is an elegantly
written Arabic inscription, that no
body has yet been able to decipher
The gun was made in Morocco, where
there are twenty-five gun-makers, who,
with the crudest implements. turn out
guns that have great reputation in all
Northern Africa. Such a gun as this
one brought home by Mr.. Oliver as a
curiousity could not he had in this
country for less than $1,000. The 9TH
er of the two guns that he brought
home was made in Algiers, has a SINH
lar immensely long barrel, a flint lock
inlaid with platina, and. ivory and steel
butt-plate, stock inlaid with silver
and coral. This gun :. is not SO fine as
the other, but is very curious.

How Gen. sheridau's Life was Saved.

III" oCu. SiCl al o LILO " a. CAV Gu.
In Georgia heard an incident in con-
nectiOn with Lieut.-Gen. Sheridan
which Phil. will read with some sur
prise, and lay down the paper with some
grateful feeling toward the gallant SOL
der who saved his life. The night pre-
vious to the surrender of Lee at APP
pomatox, Gen. John B. Gordon, who
commanded Stonewall Jackson's old
corps, Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee commanding
the cavalry, and Gen. Longstreet held
a consultation with Gen. r. E. Lee. At
this consultation it was agreed that Gen.
Gordon should try the Federal strength
the following day. Sheridan was in
command opposite Gordon. In accord
ance with the programme, Gordon made
his demonstration the next day and was
met by Sheridan's cavalry which he
calamity repulsed, but finding Sheridan
well supported by large numbers of in
fantry, fell back and sent this intelli-
gcnce to Gen. r. +. Lee. Upon its
receipt Gen. Lee ordered the firing to
cease, and displayed the white flag,
under which the surrender was subse-
quently made. During the cessation of
| hostilities, and while Gems. Grant and
| Lee were in consultation, Gen. Sheridan
with a large retinue of officers and men
about one hundred in all-was seen
approaching Gen. Gordon's lines. OF
course this cavalcade, as it came dash
ing across the plain, challenged the at
tention of Gordon's entire force. Chanc-
ing to turn his head, Gen. Gordon saw
a long, lank Mississippian, within few
yards of him deliberately training his
cooked rifle on the approaching horse
men. Gordon dashed at the marksman
and rode him down, with on exclama-
