Natural Curiosities or Nevada

Fifteen miles north of Lovelock station
Nevada, there is petrifed tree 800 feet
IN length and two feet thick. Its branches
are still perfect. The tree is lying on the
surface of the ground, and is petrified
through from bark to core. Clarence King,
the geologist, pronounced it one of the
greatest natural curiosities he had ever seen.
MIR. Lovelock says he recently stumbled
across petrifed rattlesnake in the vicinity
of his ranch. The serpent's head was gone
but his body and rattles were whole. The
rattles gave out q metallic sound, when
shaken, like the ringing of q bell. The
body Of the snake is as hard as q rock,

A FREE BRIDGE PETITION:

A netition for the selection OF
Three Sisters as the site of the
free bridge, is being extensively
here: 1t is addressed to the DIS
trict committee of the house of Re-
presentatives and represents that
in the opinion of the signers, the
site named is the very best one
in every respect, both for the Dis
trict of Columbia and Virginia,
that could be procured; and peti-
tons that the increased appropria-
tons may be made for the free
bridge at this point: A reason, in
addition to many already given,
which induces many to prefer the
location at Three Sisters, to the
Aqueduct Bridge is, that in that
event the Aqueduct Bridge would
be almost valueless to the corpor-
alton owning it, and 1t would then
be sold for a railroad bridge.

LAWRENCE AND LINCOLN.
A MISSlSSlPPIAN AND THE DlSTIN-
GUISED MEN.
The Editor of the BEE:

SIR: Hon. William Lawrence
was born at Mount Pleasant, Ohio,
June 26, 1919. His home is now
at Bellefontaine, Ohio. He has
held many responsible positions in
his State and under the federal
government. He began his pub
lie career as a newspaper man,
first correspondent and then the
editor. Was commissioner of
Logan County in 1912. Prosecut-
ing attorney in 1915 member of
the Ohio legislature in 1846147:
State senator in 1S49,50, and '54;;
elected reporter of the supreme
court of Ohio in 1851, and was
afterwards twice elected Judge OF
the court of common pleas; was
colonel i'll the Union army of the
Saith Ohio volunteers and was ap-
pointed {. S. judge for the State Of
Florida in '63, but declined. He was
member OF Congress for ten years
serving his party and country we'll,
and Was one of the acknowledged
leaders of his paaty, authority
upon all constitutional and law
questions which came up while
in that body, and was generally
consulted by his fellow membsrs
in both political parties. lie was
twice appointed comptroller of the
U. S. Treasury, accepting in 1880,
'rhinh high position he now holds
enjoying the respect OF all as
man of great legal learning, who
has head of his own. He is one
of the few men who in the admin
lstration of his office, has promptly
recommended the deserving col
ored clerk for promotion along
side of his white fellows. While
in Congress he favored and voted
for the civil rights bill; was then
and is now popularity sound upon
vital issues of the day. He has
ever been upon the side of the
toilirg masses of our common
country, regardless of previous
condition nr national. He knows
no sect, no color, no north, no
south, but looks ever to the COM
man good of a common country.
He is a man of a great and strong
individuality, who cannot be
driven here and there by cliques
and party, but will only be guild
ed by a policy which honesty SUBJ
serves the best interests of the |
whole people. He is a man who |
will hew to the line without fear or |
favor in the execution of the laws. |
He is one of the few men who can |
ally around the soldier element,
oil up large majorities in Indiana,
New York and sweep Ohio.
lie is our choice for the Presiden-
y in the coming campaign with
Hon Robt. Lincoln for the second
'lace. Suffice it to say for Mr..
Lincoln that he is a lawyer of
prominence, the present honorable
Secretary of War, and the son of
be immortal Abraham Lincoln.
Let the business men and tolling
masses in the next presidential
truggle have but the chance to
asst their ballots for this ticket
nd again we shall be safely car
led to grand ond complete victory,
Ike as we lead by Gen. Grant in
5S and ~, and by the lamented
fairfield in 1880. We present
his ticket as our choice for the
republican standard bearers in

'ill carry the grand old party ]
n to victory, thus giving our !

How TO GIVE AN Or BATH-The oil
bath should always follow another bath of
some sort. 1t may be tepid sponge hot
sponge, a saline sponge tepid or hot, salt
glow. or almost any other form of bath
While the skin is still moist and supple
from the bath, the oil should be applied
and well rubbed in. 1t is well to begin
with the eXtremitieS, so as to secure a thor
ough circulation of blood in them. The
oil should be rubbed in by friction of the
surface, and gentle kneading with move
ment similar to that employed by fullers in
working their goods After the whole sur
face has been treated in this manner. the
flesh should be wiped with clean, dry
towel, to remove any surplus of oil. The
best oil for this use is refined cocoanut oil
1t cannot usually be obtained at drug stores
in fresh condition, but should never be
used when in the least tainted with the
odor Of decomposition. 1t may be obtained
in quantity of druggists in the large cities,
and if kept in a cool place and covered with
lime water will remain sweet for long
time 1t may also be preserved by melting
and corking tightly in small bottles, each
of which should contain only Il sufficient
quantity for single bath. Pure olive oil
is also excellent for this purpose, but it is
less limpid and agreeable to most patients
than cocoanut oil Vaseline, cosmoline,
oil of petrolina, and other petroleum
products, are not to be recommended
Most unwholesome of all is lard in any
form. Cottonseed oil is not Objectionable
to some, but we have reason for enter
tanning the suspicion that cottonseed oil is
somewhat irritating in character GOOD

OREGON MAPLE SUGAR.-It appears that
Oregon is commencing the manufacture of
maple sugar The Grocer and Gamer says:
A gentleman now living in Oregon, but
who formerly lived in Vermont, which is
large maple sugar producing State, recently
tapped some of the maple trees on Misplace
in Oregon and obtained flow of sap which
equaled that of any section of the East.
Upon boiling it down he was agreeably
to see it grain into perfect sugar
closely resembling the Eastern product, in
and flavor being exactly like it.
This gentleman lives in the Nahalem val
ley. He says he can tap 500 trees on his
place each spring and he thinks they will
yield 1,500 pounds of sugar. If this is
true, as it is no doubt, maple sugar manu-
facture bids fair to become a prosperous
industry i'll Oregon
