Felix Gillet, proprietor of Barren Hill
Nurseries, Nevada City, has issued a sup
plement to his general catalogue of nut
bearing trees and prunes, which will be of
interest to those seeking in this line of
tree-planting. In the course of the supple
ment occurs the following interesting local
reference:
The most surprising yield of nuts that
has come to our notice was from a 30-year-
old tree, owned by L. Charonnat, near
Nevada City. That tree, which is now the
largest preparturiens to be found in Cali
fornia or the United States. was four years
old when planted in 1860; it was then one
of those common Los Angeles walnuts; it
bore II nuts in 20 years. II nuts in one
year was grated by us into our late
preparturiens in the fall of 1880; in
1884, the tree, completely transformed into
a prGparturiens, bore 627 nuts, twice as
many in 1885, but in 1856 the crop was so
large that the long branches were bending
down under the burden of the nuts, which
could be seen all over the tree in punches
of two to six. Over 6,000 nuts were gath
cred from that tree this year. 1856. Mr..
Charonnat has now to cut back some of
the longest limbs for fear that next year
the branches will break down under the
weight of the nuts. The tree is now &c
inches in circumference, 81 inches at feet
from the ground, 80 feet in hight, with a
top 80 feet in width. As true prnpartu-
riens, it spreads out all around and bears
enormous crops"

a coNTEMPoRARY,s ERRaR

The Red Bluff Daily Sentiael begins a
bitter editorial inspired by correct senti-
ment, by saying the San Francisco and
Sacramento press are charging each other
with vulgarity, obscenity and a total dis
regard of the morals of the youth, because
one got ahead of the other in publishing
the loathsome filthy and disreputable de-
tails of the Colin Campbell divorce case as
cabled to New York and telegraphed to
this State The Seatinel will please ex-
empt the REcoRD-UNIoN from its sweep
ing denunciation. This journal receives
the full Associated Press dispatches that
c3me over the wires, and of course
the reports of the smutty trial referred to,
contemporaneously with the San Francisco
papers. Its declination to publish them
therefore is not the result of any defeat in
the matter Of precedence. 1t prefers to
let the non-appearance of the filth in these
columns speak for the motive of the paper.
1t is not, nor viii il ever willingly be the
vehicle for carrying into the homes of its
clients such fearfully disgusting reading.

ALL ARE WANTED.

If the impression has gained ground that
because of the many large exhibits to be
shown at the Citrus Fair, the smaller ones
from the home gardens of Sacramento are
not wanted, the idea should be abandoned.
That everyone having creditable citrus
fruit growth should exhibit is, we under
stand, the desire. 1t is important to show
what is done in the small as well as the
large plats. Variety of exhibit is of as
much value as volume. Let our people
send in their fruits, samples of it, retain
ing some also to renew the exhibit to be
sent on to Chicago, where we are to show
the people in midwinter what Central and
northern California production is That
people judge climate by production, and
in no better way can we convince them of
the verify Of our claims than by the proof
we will offer to their senses.

JAPANESE VoLcANoEs.-Japan is con-
sidered by Prof. Milne to have at least 100
undoubted volcanoes, of which about 40
are still active or have been so during the
historical period. About 232 eruptions
have been recorded. The intensity of vol
canic action seems to have been as great as
in any part of the world. A period of
unusual activity was between 1850 and
1900, during which time part of Mount
Unsen was blown up with loss of from
$1,000 to $1,000 lives, many islands were
formed in the Satsuma sea. Sakurajima
threw out SO much pumice that it was
possible to walk a distance of % miles
upon the floating debris in the ssa, and
Asama elected many blocks of stone, one
of them AZ feet in diameter, and lava
stream 40 miles in length. The eruptions
have exerted a powerful influence on the
minds of the people, causing divine inter
ference to be specially sought, while noun
tain-deity worship continues not uncom-
mon

Mortuary Information.

Perhaps the Turks were the first TO use
the ornamental burying- grounds known as
cemeteries, but we cannot say in what
year. The Jews used to bury their dead
under the earth, and this mode seems to
have been the earliest in USE Egypt en-
balmed her corpses, and the earlier Greeks
and Romans consumed the body after
death by fire, the ashes only receiving
sepulture. Subsequently in those nations
this practice fell into disuse, at least partly
and then their dead bodies were buried in
vaults or chambers underground, such as
the catacombs. In ancient Rome the
bodies of her most illustrious sons were
permitted to be buried unburned as spe-
cial mark of favor, within the walls of the
city. The next step was the erection of
churches over the remains of martyrs The
Emperors and Kings were admitted to
sarcophagi within the church walls The
extension of this practice was the origin of
ehurch-yards. These, in crowded towns,
became unhealthy and offensive, and sani-
tary measures demanded burial without
the walls of the city. Thus grew the
beautiful resting-places of the dead, which
with their trees, flowers, landscape garden
ing and works of monumental art. we call
cemeteries. The word cemetery" by the
way, means slunlber-place, and is of Chris
tan origin.-Iroy Times.

THE NORTHERN ExTENsIoN.-The Cali
fornia and Oregon extension of the Southern
Pacific is icing pushed forward with the
greatest energy. The immense force of
men at work there, besides the quantities
of machinery. etc., enables the road to be
constructed with great rapidity. On the
9th of next month the road will be opened
to Edgewood, a small station twenty miles
from the present terminus of the road.
The grade of the road from Dunsmuir to
Summit is very steep, being 70 feet in the
mile. while in the down grade to Edgewood
the fall is 116 feet in the mile, the grades
being the same as in the Sierras and in
Tehachipa. From Edgewood on to the
base of the Siskiyou mountains the con-
struction of the road will be plain sailing,
but on reaching that point it will be very
difficult and costly. A force of men were
sent up to Siskiyou on Wednesday last to
commence work on large tunnel that has
to be constructed in the range.-ShGsta

Il does not aspire 60 the distinction some
journals attain in public estimation, by
pursuing policy that leads decent citi
zens to use tongs in picking up and eject:
ing scurrilous publications from their
households, in order to keep them
out of the hands of their chill
dren. Moreover, the Sentinel is in
error when it says that the San Francisco
and Sacramento journals are charging each
other with vulgarity and obscenity. I'm
fortunately they are not so engaged, since
the major portion of the papers in both
places engage in the disreputable practice,
and are silent regarding it. Such protest
as has been entered has been quite one
sided" 1t would be pleasing indeed if
the subject were matter of debate, for out
of it speedier results would flow. How
ever, the clean-minded cannot be deprived
of the hope that the day will come when
publishers, in the interests of public
morality, will agree upon policy in this
matter of reporting the stirring of all the
social slums and sinks Of society, and that
such policy will be repressive and elevat-
ing. We believe the Sentinel is correct
in its estimate of the sense of community
decency in the rural sections when it
says: off the country press were to pub
fish the testimony of divorce case SINH
lar in loathsome details as that printed in
the great city journals, they would be
spurned from the doors of every family in
the town or village. The community
would not tolerate such poisonous itera-
ture, and the editor would be ridden on
rail or invited to leave town and seek a
country like San Francisco or London,
where he could ply his vocation and be
esteemed as an enterprising journalist"

How NUGGET WAS FoUNp-The Sierra
county Tribune relates how the celebrated
Stellman & Hayes 5000 nugget was found:
John Mackey, not of bonanza fame, but of
Stellman & Hayes gravel claim, was re-
moving powders and rocks from the dig
glngs when he espied under clump of
trees, what he supposed was a good sized
bowlder. 1t was deeply imbedded in the
earth. Mr.. Mackey, with several vigorous
thrusts of his pick, succeeded in removing
it from its position. He was about to dis
pose of it, as he had disposed of other
powders, viz: cast it into the river, when
his attention was directed to gobs of gold
hanging from its side. The nugget, when
found, was literally covered with mud and
clay, and it was only where the pick had
struck it that the gold was exposed TO view.
The nugget is supposed to be the largest
ever found in the State of California
