The Mosl wsndsrruI OF frees.

Grass Valley (Cal.l Union.l
A singularly beautiful sight in
f%ruit-growing is presented in the
orchard of DR.. Harris, and attracts
the attention and admiration Of
almost every pasSer-by. A large
apple tree standing near his dwell
ing was left last autumn with the
fruit ungathered, for the birds, the
doctor said. At this writing a large
number of handsome golden colored
apples adorn the tree, while the
fragrant white and pink blossoms
seem begging for room to start a
new crop. The green foliage, now
we'll advanced, crowns the whole
together a spectacle rarely seen
away from our favored land. 1t
was from this tree, in the month of
April, some years since, that a visit
ing friend from Ohio gathered and
ate charming fruit and wrote an
account Of the circumstance to his
friends. In due time his letter was
answered, containing the assurance
that though he had left his State a
proper, truth-telling man, he was
now just like the rest of the Cali
fornians, and that his reputation in
Ohio for truth was gone forever.

The Leather ~

We often hear of the leather
medal, and in some instances our
military marksmen have won, and
occasionally wear the leather medal
as a sort of absurd regalia marking
a very low rate of Workmanship.
1t may be of interest to our readers
to learn the origin of the medal.
Some time during the fourteenth
century the bad King John, for the
ransom Of his royal person, prom
ised to pay Edward III, of England,
100000 of gold crowns. In order
to fulfill this obligation, he was re-
duced to the Notifying necessity
OF paying the expenses OF the palace
in leather money, the center Of each
piece being a little point of silver.
In his reign is found the origin of
the b~urleSque honor of boyhood,
called "conferring a leather medal"
The imposing ceremonies accom-
panying the presentation gave full
force, dignity and value to the
leather jewel, which even noblemen
were proud to receive at the hands
Of majesty.-[Notes and Queries.
