Elemental to the mining law of 10th May,
1872, the principal point of discussion be-
ing the effect Of the proposed amendment
on the COmstOck Lode and SutrO Tunnel.
The discussion was a noisy and excited
one, the California members, Messrs. Page
and Luttrell, denouncing Negley's amend
ment as being offered in the interest of
Sutro and the Bank of California, and Mr..
Negley resisting that view and defending
SutrO from aspersiOnS made against him.
Finally Mr.. Page moved to lay it on the
table. Vote, "a to 115.
The Currency.
The House then took up the currency
bill. and was addressed by Mr.. Phelps
against the bill and against imitation Of the
currency. He spoke, he said, for the inter
est of labor in the field and labor in the
shop. While the moral effect Of depre-
ciated currency might permeate all classes,
the rich man and the merchant, in an in
finite variety of investments, could protect
himself. Wall street, Beacon street and
Chestnut street could take care of them
selves and throw off the burdens of depre-
ciated currency, or change them by alche-
my into wealth.
The Poor Man
could not throw off single burden. There
fore it was, a representative should speak
for the poor man. He spoke for his farm
eTs, whose plows were rusting in their fur
rows, for 5000 mechanics, who darken the
streets of Patterson with their patient wait
ing. They had asked for bread and had
got a stone: for money, and Congress had
given them rag.

1t is an encouraging sign that the
Changers take an active interest in
the matter of securing a scientific and
practical education for their sons, who
will follow in their footsteps. The in
fiuence of this gigantic association
upon the college curriculum, will soon
show itself. 1t is now, in fact, one OF
the most powerful allies to modern
movement for giving to the course OF
study in our colleges, less OF a classi-
cal and literary, and more of seien-
tific and practical character.
Of all the reforms that the Changers
are striving to bring about, none Is
more needed than this, especially in
California. If there is one thing that
this State needs more.than another, it
is educated farmers, miners, engineers
and mechanics, to develop her re-
sources. That the farmers are alive to
the Importance of scientific knowl-
edge of their business, there are ample
proofs. The old prejudice against
.'book farmers" is dying out, and it is
hard to find an intelligent farmer to-
day, who does not wish his son to
d ossess the advantages of scientific
education.
At the present time there are in the
United States $4,000 Oranges, with an
aggregate membership of 1000, 600.
The influence of this immense and
powerful body will, of course, be in
favor Of tho kind of education bene-
fetal to their own class. Thus we
have reasonable hope of seeing the
agricultural colleges throughout the
country kept up to high state of
efficiency. Nothing could be more
hopeful for new and thinly populat-
ed country like the United States, than
this interest of its farmers in educa-
ton. 1t is one of the very best sure
ties for future prosperity and sound
progress. 81 Exchange.

The Raobab.

The baobab is plant Of monstrous
size, the most colossal and ancient
vegetable monumented on earth, has
round, woolly leaves, which consist of
from three to seven leaflets radiating
them somewhat the appearance of q
hand, and magnificent white flowers.
1t is an enormous tree, holding among
plants the place that the elephant
holds among animals-a hoary witness
of the last changes which the earth
has undergone, and deluges that have
buried beneath their waves the pro-
auctions of early ages. Several
baobabs that have been measured
were found to be from seventy to
seventy seven feet in circumference.
From it's branches hang, at times,
colossal nets, three feet in length, and
resembling large oval baskets open at
the bottom. and looking from the dis
lance like so many signal flags.
1t would take fifteen men with their
arms extended to embrace the trunk
of one of these great trees, which, in
the countries through which the Sene-
gal flows, are venerated as sacred
diC
given off from the central stem few
feet from the ground and spread out
horizontally, giving the tree a dame
ter of over one hundred feet. each
of these branches says Mr.. Danton,
''would be a monster tree elsewhere,
and, taken together, they seem to
make up forest rather than tree
1t is only at the age of eight hum
drcd years that the baobabs attain
their full size, and then cease to grow.
The fruit of this tree is oblong; the
color of the shell pas ses in ripening
from green to yellow and brown. The
fruit is called "monkey bread.n 1t
contains a spongy substance, paler
than chocolate, and filled with abun-
dant juice.
The bark is ashy gray in color and
almost an inch in thickness. The
negroes Of the Senegal grind it down
to powder, and in this state they use
it to season their food and to MAIN
tain moderately free perspiration,
which enables them the more easily
to withstand the heat. 1t serves also
