Curious Calculation.

There is something wonderful in fig
ures and lumbers, when calculated,
startle us by their immensity. We talk
of millions and billions with little
thought of the vastness of the sums we
name. The lips may utter the words
glibly, but their understanding fails to
grasp their real significance. Take our
own national debt as an illustration.
Everybody knows it is large, but few
have ever stopped to consider its appall-
ing magnitude. A few calculations will
not, we trust, be uninteresting to our
readers
Let us suppose that the national debt
is, in round numbers, 50, 500, 900, 900. If
an experienced cashier was to com
mence counting this, at the rate of three
silver dollars per second, and work oil
ligently eight hours per day, 300 days
in the wear. it would take him about
one hundred years to complete the
count.
IF the silver dollars were placed side
by side, touching each other, they
would reach nearly TIN ee times round the
world they would pave a highway the
width of Chicago's streets more than
200 miles in length.

ounce in weight, and the money loaded
into carts containing one ton each, and
driven one before the other, each horse
and cart occupying two rods, the pro-
cession would extend five hundred
miles.
Or consider that only about 1,OOO,-
600, 900 minutes have elapsed since the
birth of Christ, and that if one dollar
had been put away each minute, day
and night, since that event, the accu-
mutation would amount to but little
more than one-third of the debt this

What the Confederate Archives Show

It will be reco1iected that some time
ago the southern claims commission, in
pursuance of authority from congress,
recommended the purchase of large
amount of rebel archives which were
then in the possession of person in
Canada and that finally these archives
were purchased for seventy-five thou
sand dollars. 1t appears now that these
papers and documents are to prove of
incalculable benefit in making up the
truthful history of the late rebellion,
and, to place them in historic, authentic
form, it only requires true historian
an American Macaulay, possibly-whO
shall have free access to the proper de-
partments, to give to the public the
substance of the valuable documents.
Just at this moment there is a subject
of vast Importance to be considered by
congress, in which, to obtain intellige,
chives would aid materially. The Ge-
neva award had been attacked in Eng
land by leading statesmen, apparently
differing from the then dominant party
in Great Britain, upon the ground, as
alleged, that great injustice had been
done the English government in the ar-
bitration. No clear statement of the
facts on which this position was based
has been published. 1t now appears
from the rebel archives, the correspond
ence of Mason, Slidell, and other repre-
of the southern confedera-
ton. that the British government was
absolutely opposed to any countenance
or recognition of the movement to dis
solve the union; that Mason tried in
avin for over year to get an audience
with the then premier of England for
the purpose of presenting his case and
recognition of belligerent
rights and that he lett London in dis
gust and repaired to Paris to confer with
Slidell. There they INST with more en-
it seems, and found in the
late Emperor Napoleon warm sympa-
thizer. Napoleon was willing to gve
all the aid that could, under the Cir
be expected Of France.
What took place between Napoleon,
Mason, and Slidell will probably be
disclosed in the further discussion of

can American from New York" is.
according to a Paris correspondent, the
attraction at the Folies Bergeres. The
name of the attraction is Latin, and
his theatrical nature is to attitudinize.
He is reported to be an admirably built
fellow, tall and symmetrical, who, clad
in white tights, and lit up in the fore
ground by an electric light, and re-
leved in the background by a claret-
colOred velvet curtain, represents Her
cules brandishing his club, Cincinnatus
lacing his sandals, and Achilles hunt
ing a shield for his vulnerable heel.
Before entering the show business it is
stated Latin was a model for the ar
lists at the Royal Academy in London.
He also has high repute as boxer, and
his abilities as an Oarsman are so
marked that veracious chronicler tells
us he carries with him several trunks
full of medals, which he has won in
different contests. His poses are said
to be very beautiful, and a witty re-
mark is reported 10 have been made
concerning him by an amateur of the
fine arts to this effect "The next time
| give party I shall invite him it will
be as good as an expensive collection of
statuary TO see him standing around the
room.

The Eucalvptus Globulus.

According to a commune cation by a
Mr.. Sowerby to the Royal botanical So
ciety, the Eucalyptus Globulus, the
plant so much talked about recently,
grows finely in the society's gardens,
one specimen, seven years old, being
fifteen feet high. Experiments were
under way for trying it's growth in the
open air; but it was thought that ex-
cept in the extreme south or west of
England, it would not stand an ordina-
ry English winter. Prof Bentley stated
that although probably some of the
properties of the Eucalyptus are exag-
gerated, its efficiency in fevers has been
well established, and that it is used with
success in Australia and elsewhere as a
remedy in such cases. 1t is found, how
ever, not to possess any of the cinchona
alkaloids as had been previously claim
ed. The virtues of the tree in case of
draining marshy lands and in improving
the sanitary condition of a country
were also dwelt upon. 1t was stated
that this plant yields the Eucalyptus
oil, now imported into England, and
that it also yields an astringent sub
stance, which is applicable, like catechu,
in medicine and in the arts.

The Baltimore Horse and Mule
Market.

The Baltimore American of recent
date SAYS GA number of small lots
of good horses have arrived during the
week from Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana
and West Virginia. Several of these
lots were particularly good. One span
of browns that arrived this week are
for sale at an uptown stable. They can
go mile handsomely in less than four
minutes, and they are valued at 81, 900.
This team may, however, be considered
above the market, and 1t is not likely
to be sold at anything near the sum
asked, although few weeks since the
same span would have brought even
larger amount than is now asked for
them. A handsome span of Kentucky
bays that have been for sale in this city
for several weeks at 50. 500 were ship
ped to Philadelphia last week, where
they will very likely be sold at advan-
ced figures. There are several other
teams for sale at from ST. 500 to 50 500
each, but the demand for horses of this
grade is very poor. 4 number of ex-
cellent roadsters and single driving
horses have arrived recently from Ken
lucky and Ohio. This class of animals
are selling low, one very stylish bay
that can make mile in less that four
minutes being sold for $3.50. Horses
of this class bring from $50 to 500 per
head. This grade of horses is being
bought principally by North Carolina
men. A number of Wilmington and
Newbern dealers are now in the city
buying for those markets. Heavy
draught-horses are in poor demand, and
the supply is both large and excellent.
These heavy horses are held at prices
varying from $3.50 to $3.50 her head. The
sales have, however, been very few.
There are very few brood-mares upon
the market. Snch animals are selling
at from $50 to $175 each. The demand
for common work horses has been very
good, and the sales have been larger
than usual. The prices have of course,

Forest Tree Planting.

In April, 1868, L planted about two
acres of cottonwood seedlings of one
years growth they were about eight
cen inches high. The trees were
planted four feet apart each way, which
| think is about the right distance, as
by close planting we get more growth
in the trunks aud less III the lower
branches. / marked the ground one
way and planted across the marks with
a spade, which think is the best way.
In this way / got the rows straight
enough to cultivate we'll both ways,
which is important. My trees were
cultivated two seasons since that, they
have had no more care. They are
now twenty to thirty feet high, and
growing finely.
In 1869 I planted some cottonwood
cuttings in the same way, but neglected
to cultivate them the result is they
are not half as large as those year
older. / have planted trees and cut
tings of different kinds by setting them
in a deep furrow and turning another
furrow against them; this does very
well on a hedge-row or for a narrow
belt.

planting time the next spring, four feet
apart each way. Cover two or three
inches deep. Timber planted IN this

trees are large enough for fuel or fenc-
ing then thin out as occasion requires.
/ have sowed a small quantity of
locust seed the present season, which is
growing well. Gather the seed in the
fall, and when dry, pound the seed out
of the rods with a stick. When the
ground is ready, say about the first of
May, give the seeds a good scalding,
and plant on clean ground and cultivate
we'll.
Two cottonwood seedlings planted in
prairie sod in the spring of 1867 and
mulched in the same summer were
killed by the fire last fall one of them
measured twenty-seven inches in Cir
cumference, the other trife less. As
the cottonwood is perhaps the fastest

Tobacco Exemption.

Representative in congress from to-
bacco raising sections of the country
have by persistent effort induced the
committee of ways and means to report
a bill exempting from tax 500 worth of
tobacco sold by producer to con-
sumner. But there seems to be a strong
opposition to this exemption from the
commissioner of internal revenue and
marufacturers-the one on the ground
that it weakens the revenue law on the
sales of tobacco, and the other because,
as they declare, it will encourage frauds
in selling the leaf, and the use of un-
manufactured tobacco for chewing.
adding: 81 am candidate for sheriff
of this county, and I think by ajudicious
use of five pounds OF good tobacco can
secure two hundred majority"

California Wood Choppers.

It is in the logging camps that a
stranger will be most interested on this
coast, for there he will see and feel the
bigness of the red-woods. A man in
Humboldt county got out of one tree
lumber enough to build his house and
barn, and to fence in two acres of
ground. A schooner was filled with
shingles made from a single tree. One
tree in Mendccino whose remains were
shown to me made a mile of railroad
ties. Trees fourteen feet IN diameter
have been frequently found and cut
down; the saw-lOgs are often split apart
with wedges, because the entire mass is
too large to float in the small and mar
row streams, and have often seen them
blow log apart with gunpowder A
tree four feet in diameter is called un-
dersized in these woods, and so skillful
are the wood choppers that they can
make the largest giant of the forest fall
just where they want it, or, as they say,
" drive stake with the tree"
The choppers do not stand on the
ground, but on stage raised to such
height as to enable the ak to strike in
where the tree attains its fair and regu-
lar thickness, for the redwood, like the
sequoIa, swells at the base near the
ground. These trees prefer steep hill
sides, and grow in an extremely rough
and broken country, a d their great
height makes it necessary to fell them
carefully, lest they should, falling with
such enormous weight, break to piece.
This constantly happens, in spite of
every precaution, and there is little
doubt that in these forests and at the
mills two feet of wood are wasted for
every foot of lumber sent to market.
To mark the direction line on which the
tree is to fall, the chopper usually
drives stake into the ground 100 or
$50 feet from the base of the tree, and
it is actually common to make the tree
fall on this stake, so straight do these
stand and so accurate is the
skill of the cutters. TO fell tree eight
feet in diameter is counted days work

Prospects in Alabama, Mississippi, Ar
kansas and Texas.
The National Crop Reporter has pub
lished returns from one hun lred and
ninety eight correspondents, covering
one hundred and twenty-five counties
in the states of Alabama, Arkansas.
Mississippi and Texas, in relation to the
area planted this season in cotton and
corn in those states. Deductions are
also published from the estimates of
correspondents in relation to the total
of spring and winter wheat now in the
ground, in the states of Illinois, Indi-
ana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri,
Ohio and Wisconsin. The following is
an abstract of the principal information
furnished in the matter of cotton
There is shown falling off from the
area planted last year, averaging in the
four states first named IA $50 per cent.
The decrease in area is 18 4-19 per cent.
in Alabama 8 4-10 per cent. in Arkan-
and 2-10 per cent. in Texas.
The area devoted to corn in the same
is placed at an increase over the year
past to the extent of 9 ITO per cent.
Ghe increase is given as 10 40 per
cent. in Alabama 9 40 per cent. in
Arkansas per cent in Mississippi,
and 10 $40 per cent. in Texas. The
stand of both cotton and corn in the
states named, was, May Is, much be-
ow fnll stand, although the stand of
corn was better than that of cotton.
In Louisiana the majority of reports
received, speak of considerable por-
ion of theland as overfowed. In all the
our states, the lateness of the season
las very much delayed matters, and al
hough much of the replanting which
became necessary, had been accomplish
I'd at the date of the reports there will |
Itill be good deal of land idle.
Estimates of correspondents in the
,ight western states previously men
ioned, indicate an average increase in
he total area of wheat of eight and |
per cent.
The general condition of the growing
