STREET NUMBERS. -There is an or
dinance Of this city, passed in the
times when Kenosha had metropolitan
characteristics, which provides that
every building on Main street shall be
numbered progressively from the
bridge to South ssreet, and prescribing
a penalty for ne glecting SO to do. The
figures not to be of less dimensions
than three inches in length, each figure
to be legible and placed in conspicu-
GUS place on the side or above the front
door of every such building, The or
dinance is practically a dead letter
from the reason that the authorities
have never enforced it, and are lack
ing in local pride. We think the due
observance of this ordinance would
greatly improve the appearance of
Main St., and in many ways facilitate
the transaction of business.

CALIFORNIA; PEfeIrIED FOREST.

We started out, merry party Of rs or
26 one day last week to visit that wonder
ful relic OF bygone age, the petrified
forest near CalislOga. The site OF the pet
rlfied forest is about 1000 feet above sea
level. and lies 10 the same trend with the
guysers. Mount Helena. and the thermal
springs OF Calistoga. Geologically, II is
one vast tufa bed. in which the trees lie
as they were thrown. probably thousands
OF years ago. by some vast convulsion of
nature. This lufa, will say, for the ben
eht OF the uninitiate In scientific lore, Is
volcanic ash or cinder; 1t Is lava thrown
upward IN flery mass and descending with
rain. II Is gray in color and granular In
structure. Sometimes it is found imbed-
ded in the form OF little globes or bombs.
Ammonites, found In the strata, fix the
event in the cretace0us period; the Pro-
lessor lnclines to the opinion that il was
pre-glacial. The trees lie at five or six
different levels-on the lower almost north
and south; at the highest, northeast and
southwest. At the latter level the trees
must have been buried under eighty
or hundred feet OF lava; at the lowest
1ve hundred feet. Their dip conforms
10 the dip OF the tufa, and il at an angie
Of from 80 to 43 degrees. They are in
fragments. many Of which have been con.
verted into charcoal, others into Ignite.
and others into beautiful specimens Of let.
Where the heart OF the tree had decayed
the cavity is filled with opal---a form of
lustrous. uncrystalised silica, containing
water. Chalcedony. another form Of
silica. but clear and limpid, 10 found in
other cavities. No top has been pstrifisd,
and only here and there root. Many
have been charrvd by FIRE. Some were
broken after petriisction had taken place,
as there Is NO mark of splintering or
bruising. What must have been the 0iant
force that followed their first destruction
TO have dealt this further blowa The ma
Jority OF the trees are redwood, some few
the madrona, and the limb of an oak has
also been found. One Of the first named
Is III feet in diameter. and the part Of the
trunk still preserved 10 68 feet in length.
Another shows marks of having been
hacked with an axe. probably made OF
obsidan. as all the prehistoric imple-
ments from this locality we're made of
this same substance. . volcanic rock,
which appears in abundance all about.
There is no mistaking the fact that the
cutting was done before petrifaction be-
gan, as the cuts occur ct different angles
10 the grain Of the wood. She deduction
Is inevitable that man was in California
before the birth OF Mount St. Helena even.
and also that he WAS OF type superior to
the people who Inhabited il ut the advent
OF the European, Tor he knew how to
fashion cutting tOOls.-San Francisco

webs,.r's Personal Appearance.

Mr.. Webster was a model of manly
excellence of the highly civilized type;
he looked the gentleman perfectly
His person represented the highest style
of artificial breeding Though the son
of plain farmer, he was, physically,
the impersonation of the form produced
by the descent from II long line of
conquerng, intellectual, out'ofdoor eX-
ercisng race. His body was strong and
muscular, his chest full, his head large
and firmly set upon his shoulders His
back was deeply indented, and his most
careless pose suggested pride OF car
riage, which idea was confirmed by the
natural elevation of his face His man
ners, nevertheless, were singularly un-
protentious, almost child like lie never
strobe into the Senate, but sauntered
in, as if personally unnoticed, and him
self without care or purpose, This
manner, really so fascinating, concealed
all outward show of his passing
thoughts, or immediate intentions He
was so conscious Of his power, and had
all of his mental resources SO well in
hand, that he never was agitated or EN-
barrassed. His repartee in the private
parlor or festive board was rs quick and
bright AZ were his legal arguments in
the Supreme Court unanswer-
able, or his elegance in the Sen.
ate unsurpassed Before delivering a
speech he often appeared absent.minded
and acted as if unconscious OF being
surrounded by an audience. Rising TO
his feet, he seemed to gradually recover
perfect selfpossession by assuming n
quiet manner, which was aided by
thrusting his right hand within the
folds of his vest while his left hung
gracefully by his side. A few sentences
uttered, and the clear tones of his
voice reaching his own ear they
seemed to inspire him by their musical
sound. A moment more and the man
was changed. His dark complexion
grew warm with inward fire; his eyes
would start from their cavernous
depths and flash with inspiration; the
huge brain, in its mighty work, forcing
the perspiration down the palpitating
temples There never was more i'm.
pressive personal appearance in the
forum, or q more magnificent form OF
human effort engaged in giving utter
ance to the workings Of the mind. Yet,
in these tremendous demonstrations OF
intellect Mr.. Webster was never dra.
matte in action Even in the utterance
of his most eloquent sentences, his
body was in comparative quictude-- his
wonderful eye alone burned I'd corrus-
Gated; in all other respects repose
seemed the normal condition of his
magnetic frame,

SINCE Lord Bacon's time, what speak
er or writer has appeared who could
condense the same power of thought,
description and truth into so brief u
paragraph as Horace Greeley : Take
this for one specimen Horace Greeley
said in his Union square speech and in
the Tribune "Well, gentlemen, the
thieving carpetbaggers are mourntul
fact, they do exist there and nave
seen them. They are fellows who have
crowded down South in the track of
our armies some Of them on suffers
wagons; some Of them bearing cotton
permits some Of them looking sharply
to see what might turn up--and they
remain there. They at once ingratia.
ted themselves with the simple, crcdu,
lous blacks, very willing to follow any
whites protesting to be champions of
their rights. Some got elected senators,
some representatives, judges and so on.
And there they stand, right in the
public eye, stealing and plundering
many of them with both arms around
negroes. and their hands in their rear
pockets" Therein lies text enough to
serve for bushel of sermons.

he isn't whipped quite so badly nor so
