Messrs. Barton & Ives have engaged in the
laudable work of supplying the people with
-four direct from their Seventh street mill al

ton of profit for middlemen. When millers
give the public such an opportunity they
should be encouraged. 1t is to the interest OF
consumers TO encourage them, as
they save from a dollar to dollar

and obtain as good an article as the market
affords. They supply the very best 'smid

who have once tried this flour cannot be in

We hitched q couple Of farm horses
TO a spring wagon, filled it with pro-
visions, tents and blankets, and struck
out for the mountains, tayelin, from
fifteen to twenty miles per day. The
first place we reached OF importance
was the big trees OF Calaveras county. 7
must admit that they staggered INV i'm
agination, and exceeded anything in
the vegetable growth that I had ever
before seen. In the stump of one Of
these trees ballroom thirty.three feet
across is built, and it requires
ladder of eighteen sleeps to ascend 20
the top Of the log, on which was built n
ten-pin alley. II has been burnt up
but the body of the old, charred mon.
arch of the forest still remains. Think
o. it-a hollow log through which on
can ride on horseback one hundred feet
and come out through a knot.hole
There are some ninety of these big trees,
measuring from fifty to one hundred
feet in circumference. and reaching up
TO the skies-from 300 to $50 feet. They
are the remnant Of past flora that one
time was more common, but are now
confined to some dozen groves
scattered from here 10 Kings river
grand old trees, that have withstood the
storms Of thousands OF winters. and
were saplings when Moses was little
boy, found in the bulrushes Of the Nile.
What history could they tell What
a monument Of growth Enough to
shame the vanity of proud Cheops, the
builder Of the Pyramids. They have
grown and lifted their heads higher and
higher, while the proud kings and
empires of Egypt, Persia. Greece and
Rome have passed away. They
lived and hourishcd when Christ
preached utterances 10 the Jews,
and we're fnll-grown trees when our
Anglo-Saxon ancestors ran wild in tho
woods and painted their faces like the
Indians. From the rings that denote
the annual growth of these trees science
has estimated some of them to be four
thousand years old, while they stand
over the fallen bodies Of much older
growth, covered over with earth and
large growing trees, as il is one of tho
peculiarities of this timber not to
decay. II appears 20 be species OF

RETIRING FROM BUSINESS.
BY BRET HABTE.

What the coloners business was
nobody knew, nor did anybody care par
ticularly. He purchased for cash only,
and never grumbled at the price ofany-
thing he wanted; who could do more
than that?
Curious people occasionally wondered
how, when it had been fully two yeaIS
since the colonel, with every one else,
abandoned Dutch creek to the Chinese,
he managed TO spend money freely
and to lose considerably at cards and
horse races. In fact the keeper of that
one of the Challenge hill saloons which
the colonel did not patronize was once
heard to wonder absent -mindedly
whether the colonel hadn't a money mill
somewhere, where he turned ont eagles
and "slugs" (the coast name for $50
gold pieces.
When so important person as n bar
tender INDUCED publicly in the idea,
the inhabitants Of Challenge hill, like
good Californians everywhere, consid-
cred themselves in duty bound to give
it grave consideration so, for a few
days, certain industrious professional
gentlemen who won money of the colo
mel carefully weighed some Of the
brightest pieces and tested them with
acids, and sawed them in two, and re-
tired them, and melted them up, and
had the Jumps assayed.
The result was a complete vindication
Of the colonel and loss of considerable
custom by the indiscreet barkeeper.
The colonel was as good-natured a
man as had ever been known on Chal-
lenge hill, but being mortal the colonel
had his occasional times of despond-
ency, and one of them occurred after n
series Of races in which he had staked
his all on his bay mare Tipsie and had
lost.
Looking reproaohfully at his beloved
animal, he failed to heed the aching
void Of his pockets, and drinking deep
ly, swearing eloquently and glaring de-
family at all mankind were equally un-
productive of coin.
The boys at the saloon sympathized
most feelingly with the colonel. They
were unceasing in their invitations to
drink, and they exhibited considerable
Christian forbearance when the colonel
savagely dissented with every one who
advanced any proposition, no matter
how inconirovertible. But unappre-
ciated sympathy grows decidedly tire
some to the giver, and it was with a
feeling of relief that the boys saw the
colonel stride out of the saloon, mount
Tipsie and gallop furiously away.
Riding on horseback has always been
considered an excellent sort of exercise,
and riding is universally admitted to be
one Of the most healthful means Of ex.
hilaration in the world. When n man
is 30 absorbed in his exercise that he
will not stop to speak to friend, and
when his exhilaration is so complete
that he turns his eyes from well mean
ing thumbs pointing significantly
into doorways through which man has
often passed while seeking bracine
influences, II is but natural that people
should express some wonder.
The colonel was we'll known A. ToddJ
Flat, Come Hand, Blazers, Murderer
Bar and several other villages through
which he passed. As no one had been
seen 70 precede him, betting men were
soon offering odds that the colonel was
running away from somebody.
