The Redwood Forests q Calisornia.

The redwood trees Of California are
marvellous to behold. Our lumbermen
would almost grow crazy over the immen-
sity Of their size aud grandeur They are
the giant trees Of the world. The cedars
Of Lebanon dwarf into insignifcance as
compared with them and even the big
trees of Mariposa, Calaveras and Tuolumne
counties in this State, which belong to
the redwood family, and which attract the
eyes Of the tourists on account of their
wonderful size, are not as tall or as grand.
In Fresno county, has been recently dis
covered new grove of these colossal
trees, one Of which eclipses in cireumfer-
ence any Of the big trees of the Yosemite,
it being few inches less than l40 feet in
circumference. In height il is 100 feet,
while large portion of its top, lying on
the ground, is over 100 feet in length
The tallest redwood trees are 10 be found
in San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties,
where they attain the height of 400 feet,
with circumference Of some 80 feet.
They embrace vast aud dense forest,
forming an uubroken belt from thirty to
forty miles in length, running north and
south, from ten to twenty miles in width,
east and west. They crown the mountains
Of the coast range and grow along the
alluvial river bottoms. Under their shade
are to be found the tea oak, poison oak,
madrono, manzanita, buckeye, laurel, and
other trees and shrubs.
Living amid the stalwart limbs are to
be found the eagle and numerous other
birds, while they provide safe retreat for
the California lion, grizzly, wolf, wildcat,
lynx, deer and other animals. Immense
quantities Of these trees have been feled,
yet the lumberman's AK has scarcely made
an impression, and it will take years be.
fore they are exhausted. The redwood
constitutes the principal lumber in the
market, being extensively used for build
ing purposes. II contains no resinous
matter, but iron is found in it to aconsid-
cradle extent. 1t is very brittle, splits
easy and true, and scarcely ever shows
decay after it is manufactured. Veneers
are made from the stump, which are sus-
ceptible Of an elegant polish. These are
of rich red and more variegated than
birds eye maple. The color of the red
wood runs from dark to a light red, and
the average weight, / am told, is about
four and half pounds to the foot. The
light red is the lightest in weight.--Cor.

Natures Ouriosities.

The Pottsville, Pa, Journal says In
piece of woodland belonging to Jonathan
Kuhns, in Upper Macungle township Le-
high county, there is large black oak tree
which, at the height of fifteen feet from
the ground, spreads out two branches, be-
tween which, in the fork formed, stands a
plantain of considerable size, its broad
leaves terminating with those of the oak
in friendly embrace. The plant has
grown in this unusual position as though
it were in deep soil. In the crevice or
fork formed by the outspreading of
the branches, through the working of ma
ture deposit of decayed bark, leaf mould
and earth was formed, and it is supposed
that seed Of plantain was driven there by
the wind, and that from it the plant
sprung and gradually grew into size. The
tree and plant are regarded as great natu-
raj curiosities.
On the farm of J. l.. Blutz, merchant
at Breinigsville, is to be seen another re-
markable curiosity currant bush on a
cherry tree. The latter is of tall growth
and over II feet in circumference, and in
u fork formed by the spreading of the
branches about ten feet above ground
stands the current bush, vigorous and
thrifty as similar growth in bottom soil.
The bush this year for the first time bore
fruit, in quantity sufficient for one pie.
The shrub doubtless originated from seed
dropped in the fork by bird.
In the second canon west of the Mis-
sion creek, Cal, in huge rock, almost
perpendicular, and standing about $50
feet high. The face is marked with three
or four deep crevices, two of which stop
at about 100 feet from the base. In these
crevices bees have swarmed for years and
have their nests. This monster hive was
discovered some II years ago by some
Mexicans, and has never been disturbed.
1t is calculated that tho rock must contain
several tons of honey, but it is almost i'm
possible to get at it.

A Nevada Paradise.

In the wilds of Nevada, about sixty
eight miles east Of Wadsworth, new and
extraordinarily fertile agricultural country
has recently been opened up. 1t is about
fifteen miles north and south, and seven
or eight east and west, and contains about
10000 acres, watered by bitches from the
Humboldt river. The nature Of the soil
--an alluvial deposit, mixed with decayed
vegetable matter from the ground for ages
lis like peat in its black richness. Bar
ley, wheat, potatoes, berries and fruit of
all kinds grow beautifully in this earthly
paradise, and attain luxuriance unknown
even in that proverbially fertile State
California. Sad to say, this wonderful
country has its drawbacks--just as every
rose has its thorn. This Eden, like its
namesake in Dickens great book, is
full of fever and ague; and mosquitoes
which the veracious ehronicler says ~
have never seen outnumbered anywhere"
prey industriously upon the settler--fMa-
laria is in the water, and valley fever,
which is something like dumb ague, pre-
walls. Nor is this all. Gan unpleasant
feature is the fondness snakes manifest for
such a place--they literally swarm; the
bushy ends Of the dams in the river which
runs through the tract are alive with them.
and timid person would hardly venture
to walk across some Of the foot-bridpes.'
As every coin has two sides, every story
Of Western mining or agricultural wealth
and discovery has its dark as well as its
bright aspect. Seldom, however, Is il
that the chronicler Of discoveries Of new
mining lands Of new spots Of fertility Is 50
frank as the one from whom we quote.
We would wish, however, that they
were all like him, in order that those
into whose hearts Horace Greeleys max
i'm, "Go West, young man Go Westf'
has made its impress, might know the
difficulties they win have to face and the
troubles they have to encounter in the life
they are about setting out on. The path
way TO fortune in the West is no easier and
no more strewn with roses than Il is ii the
East, and those who 20 to seek fame,
name and wealth, in the fields and cities
OF the Occident, will need the same cour-
age, pluck and resolution that they require
IN the battle Of life in this part of the
country.

Franklin at the French Court.

One Of the most pleasing scenes in
American history is the picture of Frank
lin at the court Of France, in his blue yarn
stockings and stout shoes and yet with his
simple dignity, commanding the reverence
and respect Of the bedizened crowd of
courtiers and mobiles. A correspondent of
the Boston Transcript thus describes the
scene. The kissing of the queen is an
incident new to us;
Franklin, | understand, was dressed in
second-rate home spun, yarn stockings,
substantial shoes, and his hair of its native
color; not all conscious of any inferiority,
however, but with that self-possession
which is the distinguishing trait of we'll
bred people everywhere. His native dig
nifty was his sole decoration. As stran-
ger he must have observed common
practice in France, of kissing, even in the
streets, and other places, when friends
meet after short or long absence, without
regard to the sex. This kissing, however,
is no more than our shaking hands, and is
performed by applying one cheek to an-
other-once, twice, or more, according TO
the intimacy and feeling. It may called
check by jowling, Franklin may not have
observed minutely the modus of this prac-
tice, but have thought that kiss was a
kiss, or not thought at all about it.
1t is said that he was reminded BY one
of the court that when he was presented
he must kiss the queen, who it was also
said was very kissable woman. The
queen approached Familiarity and very near

well this handsome savage. franklin, re.
memberiug his lesson, without reluctance
put it into practice, in the only way he had
ever been taught to kiss, and gave the
queen a mighty buss on the lips, to the
great amazement and horrifcation of the
old maids, but to the great amusement of
all others, especially the being, who was
delighted with the savage simplicity, and
it is said that she called out, "Eacore 5is,
da cdppo," or "Do it again"
Another correspondent Of the Trans
oript communicates the following from the
Memories Secrets de Marie Aatoiaette par
Madame Cdp,paa:
DIR. Franklin appeared at court in the
costume of an American cultivator; his
hair plainly brushed, without powder; his
round hat aud plain coat of brown cloth
contrasted strongly with the powdered
coihures and the bespangled and embroid-
ed coats Of the perfumed courtiers Of Yer.
