Prcan.—Several of onr cotemporariece are
discussing the snhject of planting trees, ond
with ell of them the nut beariug trees seem to
be most infavor. The nut bearivg tree furnishes on article of food always, and the wood
of ony nut bearer is valuable ae timber. Not
one of the nut bearing trees has wood which is
not usefnl, But we have seen no mention mede
‘ofthe p-can tree. The nuteare sold in every
‘candy or variety etore in the State, and the nut
populer everywhere. The tree ie one of the
finest shade treee that growe. It will grow on
any alluvial lend. Ae timber the pecanis next
to the hickory in strevgih and far superior to
the hickory in lightness. The wood of the
pecan tree makes finer pick handles, axe

than any other tree, In planting, the pecen
nnte chonld be obtained from the western part
of Texas. There, the fruit of the tree ie munch

while others are ae invariably found growing in
groups. It ie thence inferrcd that the former
are influenced by come myeterious antipathy
against, and the latter hy an equally Strong
eympathy for each other. ‘Take the caseof the
common service tree, Sorbus domestica, under
cultivation. This cannot be well grown, if
planted by itself, as the plants invariably grow
Tickety, aud alwaye become covered with galle

apple trees, ete., in the same svil, and uuder

sown by themselves, the seedlings are always
‘poor aud micereble; whereae, if the eced is

The Mining Share Market.
With the opening of the Bank of California
and the opening of the Nevada bank, it wae
naturally expected that such an impetus to
financial affairs would have an encouragirg
effect upon the stock market. The opening of
the Stock Boards on Tuesday showed that the
this expectation was not unfounded. Stocks
opened strong and evidences were apparent
that arise along the whole line mightbe looked
for. The following day, however, a reaction
set in and now the market is pretty thoroughly
demoralized, and at the present writing there
is no saying when there will be any improve.

THOUGHTLESSNESS.—Persone sometimes return thei
paper, marked ‘stop thls paper.” Their name being
pasted on the sheet they think that is all we need to be
able to cross their names off, Now that is thoughtlessness. Your P.O. address is needed as much as your
name. We have thousands of names arranged only
according to locality. Our mailing clerk does not know
where overybody lives.
