THE GIANT TREES OF CALIFORNIA; Charles
Nordhoti7s California letter in New York
Tribune. Ito chop down redwood tree,
the chopper does not stand on the ground,
but upon stages. sometimes twelve feet above
the ground. Like the sequoia, the redwood
has q great bulk near the ground, but con-
tracts somewhat q few feet above. The chop
uer wants only the fair round Of the tree, and
his stage is composed Of two stout slaves,
shod with pointed iron ut one end, which
is driven into the tree. The outer ends are
securely supported; and on these slaves he
laws two narrow, tough boards, on which
he stands, and which spring ut every
blow of his axe. 1t will give YOU an idea Of
the bulk OF these trees when tell you that
in chopping down the larger ones two men
stand on the stage and chop simultaneously at
the same cut, facing each other. They cut
off the bark, which is from four to ten, and
often fifteen inches thick. This done, they
begin what is called the undercut,' the
emf on that side toward which the tree is
meant to fall; and when they have made
little progress they, by aningenious and SIM
ME coutrivance, fix upon the proper direc-
tion of the cut so as to make the tree fall
accurately where they want it. This Is ne

weight of the trees, and the roughness OF
the ground, by reason of which tree care
lessly fel!ed may in its fall break and split
into pieces, so as to make it entirely worth
less. This happens not unfrequently, III
spite of every care. So skilful are they III
giving to q tree its proper direction that
they are able to set post or stake IN
the ground hundred feet or more from
the root of the tree, and drive it down by fell
ing the tree on top of it. "Can you really
drive a stake with O tree!" / asked, and
was answered, "Of course, we do it every
day." The undercut" goes in about two
thirds the diameter. When it is finished the
stage is shifted to the opposite side, and then
it is remarkable sight to see the tall,
straight mass begin to tremble as the axe goes
in. 1t usually gives heavy crack about
fifteen minutes before it means to fall. The
chopper thereupon gives warning shout,
so that all may stand clear, not OF the tree,
for he knows where that will 60, and IN
cleared space men will stand within ten feet
of where the top of the tree Is to strike, and
watch its fall his warning is against the
branches of other trees, which are sometimes
torn off and flung to a distance by the falling
giant, and which occasionally dash out mems
brains At last the tree yisibly totters, ana
slowly goes over; and as 1t goes, the chop
per gets off his stage and runs few feet TO
one side. Then you hear and see one OF tne
grnndest and most majestic incidents OF
:orcs: Efc. There Is sharp crack, d CRASH,
and then long, prolonged, humorous

PANIC EyFEcTs AND ISTLuENcEs.-Apart
from the direct effects Of the New York
panic upon the financial institutions Of other
cities there are some curious consequences
Of an indirect nature. The matrimonial
market is reported dullcr than usIla, and
there is less travel OH the various railroad
and steamboat lines. AT the New York post
office it is stated that the sale of postage.
stamps has fallen off upward of $4,000 a
day since the commencement of the panic,
the usual sales being $4,000 u day, while
thew are now $4,000.

The New Counterfeit.

The following is description OF the
differences between the genuine and
the counterfeit $500 legal tender notes
of the issue of 1869 The upright that
holds the balance OF the scales held in
the hand of the female figure shows O
white line in the counterfeit. on the
lower part Of the palm of the hand to
the second figure in the genuine note
the upright is quite black and in
shadow. The lower part OF the right
lapel OF the coat in the portrait OF
Adams in the counterfeit forms an
angle in the genuine it is distinct
curved line; also, the buttons in the
counterfeit are irregular in shape, while
in the genuine they are decidedly round
and dark in color. Particular attention
is called to the button on the left side
of the coat in the counterfeit. In the
word "Washington," in the counterfeit
note, the black shade forming the first
stroke of the letter "W' forms On angle
ut the bottom in the genuine note 1t
forms curve. In the ruled shading
under the right hand stroke OF
the letter "W," and over the letters
"a" and 49," there are four ruled lines
in the counterfeit; there are but three
in the genuine note. Under the letters
"a" and rs" in the word Washing
ton" in the counterfeit there are five
ruled lines; in the genuine there are
but four. Also, under the letter "H "
in the same word, there are four ruled
lines in the counterfeit ; in the genuine
there are but three. At the bottom Of
the letter F in the denomination title
there are but five ruled lines in the
counterfeit-in the genuine there are
six lines. The localized fibre on the
left of the portrait is blue in the genu-
inc, but without color in the counter
felt. The red seal in the genuine is
printed in delicate carmine color, in
the counterfeit it is more of brick
color, and has n heavy appearance,
more especially the rays which form
the outside of the seal. Attention is
called to the blurred and scratchy ap-
pearance of the lathe work and letter
ing on the back Of the counterfeit,
