1.-The bill pending before the Cali
fornia Legislature in regard to the
plea of insanity in murder cases
would, if a law, tend to prevent bo-
gus pleas of insanity. The party
making the plea is to be examined
first in regard to it, and, if declared
sane, then to be tried for murder,
and, if declared insane, then to be
shut up in 2 lunatic asylum for life,
unless his sanity at the time of the
crime should be established, and, in
this event, he is at once TO be tried
for murder. False pleas of insanity
under such O law would seldom, if
ever, be made

''TEE following is Hon Cassius II.
Clay's theory, on the relation the
forests bear TO foods and droughts.
He saws ''Tf the clouds from the
Gulf are stripped of their water be-
fore they reacn Kentucky. thera is
drought: if they are still wet, and
are not struck by cool winds from
the North, and there are no forests
to cool them, they pass on and there
is stiil drought" Mr.. Clay declares
further that '.forests which are cool
IN the warnest weather, lower the
temperature by their constant evap-
grafton; cool current from the for
est area striking the rain clouds pre-
cipitates the water. Where the for
ests are destroyed The rain clouds
pass along without distributing their
contents.
