We had the pleasure Of call yester-
day from Mr.. W.. A. Walker, cores
pondent Of the Boston Herald, who is a
member Of the Boston Commandery
which escorted Sir Benjamin Dean TO
Los Angeles. He left yesterday with
his companions to attend the Conclave
at San Francisco, but not before he bad
confidsd to us lis delight at everything
he had witnessed in Los Angeles County.
He acknowledged himself thoroughly
fascinated by our climate, vineyards
and orange groves.
At the recent storm at Dodge City,
Kansas, the wind is estimated to have
blown ninety miles an hour. That is
something Of q breeze. In Los Angeles
the only storm in ten years when the
wind ever reached high rate Of speed
was during the past Spring, when for
short time Il attained the speed OF 48
miles an hour Such wind il not de-
structive, but is very unusual in this
part Of the world, where the wind usu-
ally blows at the rate Of four miles to
twelve miles an hour.

only 100000. Germany has already
in round numbers 1880, 900 more in

it is obvious that the balance is not 50

Germany there only 965 males to every

age, and honesty. Unless horse has

thing well. If tad qualities predomi-
nate in horse education only serves to
enlarge and intensity them. The head
is the indicator of disposition. A
square muzzle, with large nostrilS, eyi.
dences an ample breathing apparatus and
power. Next, see that he is well under
the jowl, with jaw-bones broad and
wide apart under the throttle. Breadth
and fullness between the ears and eyes
are always desirable. The eyes should
be full and hazel in color, ears small
and thin and thrown well forward.
The horse that turns his ears back every
now and then is not to be trusted.
He is either bitter, or kicker, and is
sure to be vicious in other respects,
and, being naturally vicious, can never
be trained to do anything well, and SC
a horse with a rounding nose, tapering
forehead, and broad, full face below

Colonel George L. Perkins, of Nor
wich, Conn, who celebrated his Goth
birthday last Sunday, and is as hale and
hearty as most men at 80 years, was a
witness in the Tilton-Beecher trial in
1875. When his name was called the
crowd in the courtroom saw good
looking, dignilled gentleman, apparently
about 60 years old, step briskly to the
stand. Having answered the usual
questions as to his name and residence,
Mr.. Evarts propounded the succeeding
question: SLOW long have you lived
in Norwich, Colonel Perkins l''
eighty seven years. responded the
Colonel with the utmost gravity. The
lawyers dropped their pens, the spec
tators stared, the Judge looked puzzled,
and the jury were in evident doubt
whether there was lunatic loose or a
new liar had arrived. A ripple OF
merriment succeeded as Mr.. Evarts,
with great seriousness, inquired q
moment later: ''Colonel Perkins, may
ask where you have spent the rest Of
your life ?"

Is noticeable for the large number of
distinct species it contains, and for their
issimilarity from the species of other
countries. There exist about 10000
species of Towering plants in Australia,
being more than is contained in the
whole of Europe. Over 1900 species CT
native plants have been observed in Il e

numbers remain yet to be recorded. All
these plants are highly organized, and
capable of withstanding great extremes
of heat and cold. Some of the noble
eucalyptus trees, with their vertical
branches and evergreen leaves, reach 10
height of 120 feet, with curve of from
twelve to twenty feet. The highest
