ods that were witnessed in the last days
of Grant ? Is there anything either in
the Executive or Legislative branch of
the government to assure us that the
Arthur administration is not really a
restoration of Granlism with all it ini
plies? We roust expect to see the old
Credit Mobilier gang, the Navy frauds,
the Whisky rings, and the long list ol
public joblier* and thieves restored
again. Certainly there is nothing at

Shortly niter President Oarfield's In
auguration friends of Senator John
Stewart, of Cbamherahurg, urged his
appointment to the Mexican mission.
Secretary Blaine had made up bis mind
to recommend the ap|>oiniment, and
President Garfield would no doubt hare
done so bad be lived. It is said that
Senator Comeron, learning ol the pro
liability of Stewart's appointment. also
became an active adrocate of Stewart,
and solicited Blaine's interest in the
case. The Senator went to him in re
gard to it several times. On one of
these occasions he said he had set his
heart on the matter and would like t.i
see Stewart get the place. Before the
consummation of the thing Oarfield
died. It is now understood here thai
since Arthur's succession Mr. Blaine
n-ked Senator Cameron if he stdl favor
ed the appointment ol Senator Stewart.
Blaine said if he did and would go with
him to the President and recommend
the appointment it would unqo-aiion
ably be made; whereupon, to Blaine's
surprise, Mr. Cameron flatly replied that
he was not in favor of it.

A Whole Forest of Stone Trees.
From th I>-n.r Time*.
From twenty to thirty five miles from
Ifenver, between Cherry creek and
Running creek, the Denver and New
Orleans Railroad forces struck an unuu
al obstruction, it being nothing less
than a buried forest. The trees are all
petrified and agatixed, are all sixes and
lie buried at various depths, from ten to
twenty five feet, which if as deep as any
excavation* were made by the workmen.
They came upon these relics of a by
gone age in at least half a doxen local
ities, and have met with not a little dif
ficulty on their account. The treea are
very perfect and could he taken nut
nearly whole if suitable machinery was
employed.
When a Texas couple stood up To he
married, the minister saw the handle of
• pistol protruding from the bridegroom
pochet and suggested, out of respeel to
the solemn ceremony, it tie laid aside.
The advice was heeded. Then the bride
demurely drew a dagger from her
bo>om and tosaed It beside the other
weapon.
