"We believe, Mr. Chairman, that

rived from all paits of the world.
Every Slate and every nationality
are here represented, and in that
sense we are alt emgranl frag

ed the edifice of a State; and while
we are in this condition we shou Id
give careful i.ttention that all ma

a commission sho.ild be appointed

lands for a Slate university, for an
agricultural college, and lands in
lieu of those lhat are worthless that
we have secured under the general
law for common school purposes. If
this matter should he neglected by
our Delegate we cannot hope to se
cure this heritage when we mjrge
into the condition of a Sla e. Il is
thcrefoie important that this matter
relating to education should receive
immediate attention.

One of the curious elevelopmeots
of trade in Southern California and
Arizona is the traffic in tarinlulas
aud their nests. It is an turircly
new avenue of trade, and to Leo
Fleishman, of Los Angeles, seems
itt belong the honor of discovery
and development. He began a
short time since lo gather their c -
nous and ingeni usly ontrived
nests for relic hinder and curiosity
seekers, and as the trade ii.c a-ed,
he began the capture and preserva
tion in a stale of nature of tlie t:ir
autula itself, which he does by in
jecting into the animal arsenic in a
considerable quantity. This has tl'e
effect of preserving the tiranluli
acd destroying all its pfiison, aud it
could be hantUxd with perfect lm.
purMiy after such treatment. In
