r. Dally Poit, Juki UK It might naturally be expected that the munificence of James Lick, which has commanded ths unqualified admiration of his fellow cltisens and oalled forth the unanimous verdict of approval from the press, would be exempt from adverse oritlciam but tt seems that tho Chronio Grumbler could not forbear his ungenerous criticism, even upon such genorosity, but must proceed to perk up his nose and find fault with this act, as with everything else. This morning, aa one of the local of the tost was seated as his desk, engaged in deep study as to how he could successfully evade tho payment of tho personal property tax upon hta bank account, his roveries wore disturbed by a sniffle that proved to be the preliminary to a bugle blast, and turning his bead he saw standing beside hiiu a tall man grasping his nose in the folds of a red silk handkerchief, his mouth tightly closed, and th veins on his red forhead stantling out like im-monne welts, In his apparent efforts to blow the top of his bead off. The reportor was about to Interrupt him in his suicidal proceeding when the at vated his right arm lik a switch sig nal, and In sonorous sounds shouted, Tum-le-tum-tum-tum-tu-u-m." But suddenly recollecting himself he looked around to se If be was dis turbing anyone, and resumed his seat somewhat confused. Now who wrote that mnsie He's th fellow that deserves a monument Just as much sa Key doe.

It's a piece of Injustice sir, to Francis Drake, and and and Julia Ward Howe. And this group of statnary at Sacramento illustrating the progress of California Is another sick notion. Why in thunder didn't he have them placed on riherman jstnna witn a levee around 'em Who in thunder's goin' toHacrsmentotosea'era wittt all tiw Hue of IntvM conirwllcii by THS RAILROAD -SONOPOLT And tha thermometer up to 90 In th shade. The California School of Me chanical Arts is another fool notion. Readin', wrltin' and 'rithmetlc is good enough for workln' men, and really it's Just In harmony with tha spirit of the document that he should give what there ts left to tha Society of Bugollgists and tha Mutual Ad miration Association of MUers.

I toll you, sir, that the man must be crazy to squander his money on such a ri-diculous and nonsensical programme." Hut, now, ic na suppose yon were in bis place," suggosted tha Re porter," what would you have done." The urumnier was ail attention in a moment. Folding his psper, and and replacing It In bis pocket, re moving bis spectacles, oarerully wiping them on the corner of his coat- tail Aid replacing them in their caw, a sweet smile of benevolence stole upon his ruddy countenance and lighted it with a halo of generous glow. I would provide CONVENIENCES FOB THE PEOPLE," He replied with a confident air. I am afraid I don't entirely understand you," mildly suggested tha reportor. Wore you ever in Paris asked the old chap, iu a patronising ton and manner.

No I thought not. I have a-hom spent much of my life ther. I may, in fact, almost call myself a Parlz-lan. Well, sir, on all of tho public streets in Paris there are conveniences for the people, aud a stranger ia novor at a loss" 4- At this moment an alarm of ftps was heard. The reporter bis hut aud note book, and abruptly inviting tha stranger to call again and explain his ideas in detail, rnshed down the stairs into th street.

When he returnod, the Chronio Growler, with his hat, red silk handkerchief and sliver bowed spectacles, had taken his departure. fOOhlHB, ir TBVB. Sktcrammto Recor-t, June T4. The Santa Crus Sentinel states that Professor J. L.

We trust that the iientinel has boon Misinformed as to the cause of the removal of Professor Hatch, for If its version of the affair is correct, it ia clear that somebody has been guilty of one of those blunders which ar worse than crimes. That ther ar plenty of fanatical temperance advocates we kuow, but that there should be enough of that kind in a School Board to perpc-trste ad foolish piece of intolerance as this, Is difflcalt to believe.

It is quite possible for a man to believe In the wisdom of temperance and yet disbelieve in the wisdom of th Local Option law. But if the teniperauc people aio going to make so foolish an issue of their belief, aa this would seem to indicate, they wi 11 certainly provoke retaliation, and moreover they will so embitter the controversy that all who abhor bigotry and fan aticism will withdraw from them. It would be well for the more enthusiastic advocates of Local Option to reflect that between carrying elections and demonstrating th soundness qf principles there ia a wide distinction, and that until their policy has been vindicated by actual experience it ia altogether too soon to claim for it tha settled status of demonstrated (Set.

A small party dined with him not long ago, and we are told that Monsieur UoriUa behaved like any courteous diner-out, except that his conversation was not brilliant, and that at one point ia the meal he calmly extended his paw and removed from his neighbor's plate to his own some pretty little kickshaws, which particularly pleased him.

Our blocka of tine, and even magnificent dwellings, with a stone nowhere but In the foundation, are always a source of wonder to tho Eastern man aforesaid, in whose mind wood and cheapness havo become associated as synonyms.

What Californian would do without her redwoods, it Is hard to conceive. Rut it is a problem that must face her before a (treat many years. Her supply is not by any means as the tree grows along the Coast only, in a strip extending from the Bay of Monterey close to tho Or-ogon line. THE FORKSTS. Increase in breadth as they grow northward.

In tho Eel River region in Humboldt county, they run nearly fifty allies inland, but this figure dwindles rapidly toward tho south. At few points are tho forosts more limn tvcnly miles deep, while at Santa Ortiz nnd thenca southward, the woods do not often cover more Hum qiarter that ground. The drain upon them is constant and ox-haustiig. Tho writer has generalized the estimates of many of the mill men nnd others in the business, and considers it safe to say that bo-for. the rising generation shall have grown to be old men an women, Cal-Ifornia will have boon shorn of her forosts.

They are being attacked on all sides. To the South, thero are numerous small mills sawing ceaselessly fifteen iivUic neighborhood of Santa Crujsaloiis On The Krtsaltui Rivara ta eianema orxinty. On the little, Aluion, Oare'ia and tjavmrro Rivers in Meudo-cino' and' on H' and Knm KlTua-ia. HuuboUK, larire. mills are running constantly 8long the whole Coast at intermediate points, where shipping is possible, mills are fixed When it is known that each individual of this army of steam destroyers turns out, according to sir.0, from 10,000 to 75,.

000 feet of lumbor per day, and that the aggregate anm'M product is fiOO, feet some idea may be got of tho hole that is being made in our redwoods. To any one who has ridden for oven a day through a redwood forest, it seems impossible that even man's strength or ingenuity could remove the giant trunks at such a destructive rate. And indeed, it is only done by labor on such a colossal scale that tlto Eastern lumberman, like his friend the farmer, finds in coming to California ho must needs learn his trade over again. It is no wonder that men from the pine forosts of Maine, on first passing through the redwoods have been utterly amazed at THKIIt TREMENDOUS SIZE And yet it has boen frequently the case that the trees which have excited their astonishment were those left behind as too small to cut after tho largest had been foiled. Any redwood less than three feet in thickness is considered by the lumbermen a sajiling, and not until tho woods havo been woll thinned are such youngsters thought worth the cutting.

When a redwood shows a trunk of nine, twelve, or fifteen foot, he inspires witli respect the California axe-man; if less, lie must content himself with being hidden among the herd. For fear that tho Atlantic doubter should consider us as DRAWING THE I.ONO BOW. In giving these figures, it may be woll to montion that, while on his visit to this Coast, Professor fray, tho Botanist, in company with Professor Carr of the State University, discovered in the gulches of the Contra Costa hills, a few mileback of Oakland, redwood stumps that measured thirty feet in diameter I A REDWOOD LUMBER MILL. As a fair illustration of tho manner in which tho redwood is felled, cut-up, and sold, Duncan's mill at the mouth of tho Russian River may bo taken. This region is thickly timbered, and half a score of mills are making ugly holes in tho forests.

Tho, trees which supply Duncan's mill with logs are not cut near at hand, but some ten miles up tho shallow, winding stream, that in tiie winter, swells to a raging torrent, which more than once has played mischeif with the lumber interest. The logs are dumped Into the water about four miles up stream. They are brought to this point by railroad from the legging camp above. This railroad is characteristic and a curiosity. The rails are of laurel cut into strips three Inches in width, and capped with iron on the sharper turns, of which in all conscience there are plenty, the whole six miles of this unique road being one snarl of twists, turns, contortions and trestle work.

Whenever a straight yard or two does turn up, the wheels roll on bare laurel. And tho wood seems to be quite as useful as it is ornamental, bearing the tremendously heavy work well the rails not needing renewal more than once in four years. Nothing is sacrificed to beauty in this sylvan railway. The ties are logs four and five feet thick pinned down with stakes that look like gate posts, to keep the innocent looking river soma thirty feet below from washing them away when it goes on its periodical test-The cars also are not suited to the service of tourists, being simply square frames of heavy laurel, well greased to facilitate the operation of prizing off the logs into the water. Straddling the leant slippery log, breathing a short prayer for strength to bold on, and the passenger is whisked off through the woods at the rate of six miles an hour, the nondescript little locomotive puffing aud making noise enough to deceive one into the belief that he is going forty.

A RIPE THRlliroH THE REDWOODS, On Duncan's railroad, is not an experience to be met with every day, aisi the passenger is apt to feel greater enjoyment of the treat with this reflection lu uiind. The way does not lie all in the forest, but through an occasional pasture-lieid, when it is necessary for the brakesman to 'descend periodically, run ahead nf tho as be would to the mane of a bucking mustang, could make use of the ti re arm, dues not occur. After a little mora of this, THE REDWOODS IN EARSHOT Aro entered, and a mighty sight they are, with their great, rough trunks rising, like masts, for two and throe hundred feet, and ending In a mere tuft of crisp, dark-green foliage. Kvery one of the old fellows seems to have a grand individuality and they never lose it in a crowd the more there are of them the more lonely each ono soems. As the forest b-comos dense, the light, although it be noon, softens to the gloaming.

The sunlight striking through lu bars, here and thero gilding a jagged trunk, gives a glory of light and shade to tho vast, cathedral distances. No painter has darod to try his hand at the heavenly vistas, and the wonderful diffusion and blending of light. The passenger almost loses his grip on his greasy steed, and is irritatod by the rattle and Jarring of the train, which seems as much out of place as a brawler in tho sanctuary. A curve brings to view a scene of black, charred desolation, in the form of a deserted logging enmp. Nothing can look moro dreary and wiertl.

Blasted trees, barkless from tiro, their cracked surfaces reflecting the deep btuo of tho sky. Tho soil scorched to uttor barrenness. Twisted, gnarlod, overturned roots, whose Jot color and grotesque fantastio forms, would de light Uustave Doro. Empty cabins, falling into decay. Half-burned logs and broken yokes; slutttercd mauls and axo-bandles oyster -cans, old boots, rotting fragmonts of clothing aud the bleached bones of oxen, make a picturo of such iiideous ruin, that tun passenger is qulto grateful to tho obliging brakesniun for his information that the old stumps will, in a few years, have surrounded themselves with circles of young rodwoods, which wiil replaco the charred dessert with their fresh, vivid green.

Fur," says the brakesmun, you can't kill a redwood, nohow you kin fix it. They'd grow in Hell." The passenger nearly slides off, as a wild shriek, as of some ono in mortal agony, eelioes through the forest. A fearful yell of profanity, complicated beyond unravolling, causes the brakesman to smile patronizingly, and explain, 'On'y the bull-puncher, sir." And in a few minutes the locomotive pants up to tho depot, which Is a pondorous landing of laurel logs, up the inclined stckis of which the oxon drag their heavy loads. The important-looking suportiitenrtuiit of this primitive station ia a nmwiuiar little Chinaman whoaft abaven head baroly reaches the top "of Jit log taturclng along the greased laurai "skids' with a stout bar of Tu faotlUy with which tlio immense til woo logs, some of thorn containing lumber enough to build a smalb-liouae, are handled, ia marvelous. The ,4111.0 Chinaman, with the brakesman's aid, can load the three cars in as many minutes, and fasten down the logs by driving in heavy hooks at the end of ropes in a minute more.

This landing is the centre, of a system of roads leading from all parts of the woods. Like the tracks of the railway the roads are of laurel, the logs being laid some three feet apart on the corduroy plan, and kept wet and slimy, as olhorwise it would be impossililo for the oxon to drag their gigantic loads. An hour in tho camp among the meu chopping, barking, sawing and handling, impresses one with the fact that a great deal of skill and system is necessary to carry on the huge work, THE CHOPPERS Especially, must be men of intelligence nnd experience. A great deal moro than mere strength to swing the axe for eleven hours a day, is required to muko a good chopper. After the treo Is selcctod tho ground needs careful looking after, as a stump or fallen tree, or any considerable inequality of the earth, would, as a gentleman of the profession remarked, Knock the biggest on 'em into smithereens." It is a peculiarity of redwood to split Into long and prof-itlessly thin strips upon small provocation, and the inexperiencod eye glancing over the ground that bristles with all sorts of obstacles Bees little hope of any tree escaping destruction.

And it is) only tho extreme skill of the chopper tbut makes the disaster uncommon. They can drive a stake with the biggest tree in the forest when tho ground Is clear. When there is not sufficient opening In a diroct line, a common expedient is to fell tho tree so that It will strike in its descent the trunk of another. Calculating the bonnce well, marks an accomplished chopper. Felling a seven or eight foot tree is half a day's work for throe men.

The choppers stand some six or eight foet from the ground, each on a narrow bit of board, one end -of which is thrust into a notch in the bark, and this unsteady footing is all they have, while they hack away with their long axes, hour after hour. When a teu or fifteen footer is encountered, a platform of bark, with the standing boards for support, is built, and an extra chopper put on. Two cuts are made in the troe that on the side on which the uionstor is to fall being much larger and somewhat lower than the one on the other aldu. Thus the weight of the troe is made to sorve for its own overthrow. It is tremendously hard work, and wears the strongest man out iu from three to four years.

When tho tree begins to complain," aa the shrill, vibrating, cracking noise, ia aptly called, the chop pers give a warning wail that sends all the workmen lu the neighborhood scampering to a safe distance. A second cry tells that the true is wavering, and the choppers themselves leap from their perches and run for It. The giant yields slowly and with a mighty grumbling.
