It is true that the President restricted himself to riding along the front, and then ' ordering the troops to march past, for he did, not dare, owing to the notorious Ignorance of the officers and soldiers, risk the execu tion of any maneuvers, for it would not hare been understood, and would hnve broken the charm under which the spec tators were lascmnteu.

Through all the gates fresh troops continually en tered the city, and occupied admirably cnosen strategic points. l . Miien a serious event is preparing, there are in the atmosphere certain signs which never deceive the fosterers of rev olutions; a vague and apparently cause less anxiety seizes on the masses, and un consciously converts their joy into a spe cies of feverish excitement, at which they are tnemseives startled, as they know not to what to attribute this change in their humor. j Hence the population of Mexico, mad, merry and joyous, as usual when a fes tival is preparing, in the eyes of short Righted persons, were in reality sternly sad and suffering from great anxiety. The general did not tall to observe these nro nqstics; gloomy presentiments occupied ins mind, for he understood that a ter rible tempest was hidden beneath this fic titious calmness. Valentine's gloomy pre dictions recurred to him. He trembled to see the hunter's menaces realized ; and, though unanie to discover when the dan gor would come, he foresaw that a great peril was hanging over his head ; and that his ambitious projects would soon, per- iiapg, ue drowned in iioods of blood. Unfortunately, it was too late to desist ; he must, whatever might happen, co on to the end, for he had not the time to give counter orders, and urge the con spirators to defer the explosion of the plot till a more favorable moment. Hence, nfter rit reflection, the general resolved to push on, and trust to accident.

Cutting the big trees would mean tho speedy extinction of this unique and "wonderful sjiecies, which Is found only In Isolated groves and which repro duces abundantly, so that It is a gjood tree for the forester to utilize for suc cessive timber crops. It Is likely that the lumber trade will encourage the use of redwood more nnd more In the future, as comparative ly little practical use has been made of the products of these extensive forests of California up to the present time. The use of rethvood Is now about Ifcj per cent of the total consumption of lumber. It Is estimated that the for ests of California have about 75,000, 000,000 feet of standing redwood tim ber and the wise use of these products by conservative lumbering will In a degree make up for the greatly lessen ed supply of other useful woods.
