THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, AUGUST 17, 1€73.: WOMAN. Somo Problems Concerning Her. What Is Expooted of Hor Bofore and After Marriage. It scoms to bo protty gonerally concoded that woman haa somo businoss in this world, or sho would not bo here; but tho nature of that business is one of the TRONLENY OF THE AGE. In fnot, tho object of hor crontion secoms to bo only the firstof o scrios of conundrums con- corning her which porplex both hersolf sud, what is moro astonisbing, tho lords of oroxtion, "The lattor summarily sottlo tho firat riddlo by de- claring that womau wrs dosigned for marringo. It ninkes no differonce with the populnrity of this declsion that mon have an awkward custom of distributing tho arithmotienl oquality of the koxos by debnrring womon from tho deoimeting occupation of soldlers, buzz and olrcular saw- yors, otc., snd the olovating pursuits of sonfar- ‘ing, and manufacturing powder and nitro-glycor~ lue, and boing hanged. Women are-#o soon worn out with life, howover, that, by mosns of the roflaing procoss of widoworlng, about overy sixth man is privileged to afford at lonst two woraon an opportunity to fulflll the object of their oreation ; and, to the credit of tho race bo it moknowlodgoed, that ovory men hastons to enjoy his privilego, snd every woman to om- Lraco hor opportunity, This is the only conaola~ tion possible to offor to thoso fow thousnnds of Now England fair ones who find themsolves in that appalling consus total: ‘Excoss of fomalos over malea.” But no sooner Is tho first question sottlod than the second atarts up with appalling suddenness. Thon how shall TIE DAUGHTERS Do educated? To bogin with, it ia imporatively necessary that no idens of her future work should be allowod to cross the girl's mind, It would bo unmaidenly to think of such things, Sho must take & monthful of anclont history, o bito of modern history, a tasto of mathomatics, o bit of every ology, & dash of mental sclence, and tho same amount of moral ditto, Tho offect of all this miecellancous study is to make the mind rosowblo a cloth on which a paintor cleans lhis brushes, BLoe must learn political economy, of courso, because she cortainly will nover have anything to do with national finances; and it is imperatively nocossary that sho should ba couversaut with the Constitution, becauee sho {8 not called upon even to vote. But, aftor all, the one thing ncedful is to put her on the plano-stool before she can reach the podals, and koep hor thoro two hours a doy, daunghog hor littlo foet, strumming the discordant keys, and lugubriously ohanting: ** Wu-hun, ah-hand, too-hoo, ab-hand.” Ah! How forvontly does she rojolco—when she standa in the radiant besuty of her graduni-. ing robes, aud the reporters busy oxtracting from hor essay tho good thinga which her com- position toacher bns bocn busy putting in it— that sho is forover done with thoso horrid studies, How bright and gay 1s tha world INTO WUICH SUE 1A DRIFTED| The roses and camoling nro always blonmlnf, the lights aro aiways twinkling, the river is always 1ippling, tho music is forovor palsing; lifo ia sat, sho belioves, to the Btrauss waltzes. Ior eolo responsibility is the harmonizing of colors, Hor memory is burdened simply with the numbor and make of her shoes and gloves, Nobody asks her, botweon the figures of tho Lancors, aboul Logclko's Theory of tho Origin of Ideas, In good socioty no ono hears anything nbout ideas. Out under the stars, Adolphus does not alludo to tho “* Variations in the Elongation of Morcury.” To bo suro, he talka about Venus and her satollitea, when It is well known eho has none, her varia- tions, her inclinations, ete.; but Lis companton understands evory word thut ho says, and finds that tho Venus of the nstronomer and the Venus of tho courtior are two very differont things. In hor little roso- tinted notes sho commonces * Dearest Frodorick;" but it nover occura to Frederick that, if heis dear in_the superlative degreo, he must at least be Froderick 111, in her affections, What does love care for grammar? Noithor Frederick nor any ono olas expocts anything of Violet but to Lo young and goy, graceful and charming, till she is MARRIED. Then she suddenly discovera that now she is ox- Ractud to know everything, do everything, and o0 averything. All at onco, and all o'er, Wilh » mighty uproar, “Can sho mako bread?” i8 tho chorus. No, of course she can' “Woll our grand- mothors -made bread.” What of it? They didn’t live with & steamn bakery round ho cornor. Nobody asks if Frederick can saw wood or mow, His grandfathior did both; but Violet is sure Froderick would staiion himself with his ax dimc!lg under the clothes-line, and s own hend would be tho firat wood ohiopped. Ho might, indecd, sally forth some summar- morning, gaily swinging Lis scythe ; but, beforo night, 1o would surely bo brought homo, like somo popular actor, ‘in fwo parts.” However, #ho feols that sho can love Frederick oven if ho does diffor iu somo respects from his roverod ancestors. *‘ Can eho knit#" orios tho chorus. No. “Well, our grandmothors knitted sll the stockings for their families.” Tho absurdity of lhiukiufil that Irederick, who caunot ondure a dnrn in his fine hoso, would wear thoso conrso, clumey, ribhed-yarn stockings, even if sho could make “thom, Clearly, tho woman of to-day is good onough for the man of to-day; but, sec- ing that somo writers are so qun{unml with thoir grandmothers’ ways and works, porhaps that apparoutly-uscloss and absurd canow., that a man shall not marry his grandmother, iy not 80 unnecessary after all. Poor Viotet is the subject of UNLIMITED ADVIOE. That delightful fashion-writer, * Floronco fly," firat npponls to hor, improssively stating that womon should know how to manufacturo thoir own bonnots and drossos, cover thoir own parasoly, aud mako their own undor- clothing, Thon ‘comes * Katy-did,” chirping in the publio ear how she furnished a homa very prottily with only 860 outlay; makin onsy-chairs out of barrels and sofas ont of ol truiks, and upholsteriug thom with discardod ocurtains and 10-cent chintz, She enthusiaati- cally desoribos a cosy little hote, prosided over by o domestic fairy who made picture-frames out of straws, thread, shavings, moss,—any- thing that cumo hundy; and who embroidered towol-racks, wood-boxes, flat-iron holdors,— {illing up ler leisure-momonts by erocheting ornamental clothes-pin_bags and waste-strin; recoptaclos. Alns! and ha 1t como. to thiss Burely it wero botter for a woman to endure in~ funticide in China than to grow up in Amorica nnd devota Lier best onerglos to constructing an ornumental gridiron-cover. Nobody insults Frederick's common senso b!' ublishing o woeekly paper to _instruc Elm how to employ his lelsure-moments in carving an ornamontal spittoon-cover, or to di- tect bim bow to construct an elegant Gothio Eun-rnck out of old knife-handles, or to make a oot-blncking stand, * with n loathor rost for tho boot, and tho cushion done in Afghan atiteh, with an embroidored border of autumn- leaves." No, indoed.

Qhoy call thom springs, but they are only holes dug {u the deop, black vogotable de- posit, which oxtonda down to on un- cortain dopth, and which is perfootly snturated with hot wator and stoam. Thrust a bar down anywhere, and it will soon bo heated ton high temperature. Only thoue troos whoso roots run noar the surfaco can live upon this deposit. Not many miles to the north, and soparated from this valloy by o low mountain range, are tha cal- obrated California Geysors, Burely thoro fa o Lot country undernoath this roglon, and not very far distant, 1f wo may judgo by its froquont outorop~ pings.

THE PETRIFIED FOREST. But these woro not tho objocts which brought mo hore, for thoso I bad scen and partially stud- lod yoara ngo. 1t was tho petrifled forest whioh s Iatoly beon brought to notico which I desirod to visit. My first ouriosity was gratified by tho examination of an artifloial grotto, built up of {ragments of tho potrified wood, some woighing sovoral tons, which ehowed the growth of the wood, the knots, and ourls as distinotly as in lifo. The first questfon was, Is it limo or silica ? Having no convenlont test with me, I sont to tho pantry for somo sharp vinegar. It produced no more impression on the potrifaction than wator. Itwas suiclous, thon, boyond all question. On Monday morning wo took n carringo with four good horses and woro on our way up tho valloy in an onstorly dircction for o mile or moro, sud then bore to the left up a ocanon in the foot-hills, and began tho asoont on the old and long-used road to the BONOMA VALLEY, which is separated from the Napa Valloy by a mountain rango of modorate altitude. About two and a half milea further wo passed a di- vido 600 foot (by anorold barometer) above Calistago, aud then doscended about ono and o halz ghiles and brought up at the cabin of Charles Edwards, or Pelrified Charley, 88 ho s called for short. Charloy {s tho owner of tho ?nhhh\l forest, or rather has mado a homestoad claim_thero, and lives in singlo blessodness on broad and bacon of his own cooking. Hols nSwedo by birth, has beon o sailor, and miner, and rover gouorally, and Las now sottled down in this hard spot to mako his fortune by neting as guide to visitors and selling choico spocimons. Ho entertaius travelors, too, who can sleep on & bundlo of hay sud eojoy hia frugal face, though hLo docs nof claim to bo an jun-keoper, and pays the State no revenue for a’ liconso. Somo of tho party wore invalids, 80 we drove by tho door of tho cabin, aud as near the @glts fo bo soen os practicablo, and alighted. By this timo Charley hud arrived, stoff in haud, w{m alarge badge iu frontof o statoly stove- pipo hat, insoribed Guipe. Ho lot down tho rudo bors to afford ns passago, and thon led tho Way up tho foot-path to tho first_petrified treo, which I found to bo 5680 feot above Calistago, nud 26 foot above tho cabin of the propriotor. Origiually but o small Jlu:t&on of tho uppor sido of {hiu petrifaction had been exposod above the soll, though it could bo traced for perhaps 80 foct by fragments and broken sections of tho trunk, ‘T'wenly foot, perhaps, of tho butt of tho treo 'had been uncovered by Nataro to the dopth of four feot at the high- o8t point, and Charley had uncovered by excava- tion to » dopth of eeveral feot more, till ho had roached a Kolut where the dismotor waa thirteon foet ; but ho had not roachied tho middle appar- ontly by scveral feot. The petrifaction was complote, oxcopt some portions of the bark which were decayed and soft, and roadily crum- Dled to powder in tho flugers, Hers, in the shado of & scrub osk, tho invailds remained, while I pursnod the intoresting sonrch, listoning to the learned dissertation of Charley upon the causo and modoe of potrifactions in goneral, and of this in particular. Holed me to sbout twenty of thoso petrified troos within tho spaco of a fow sores. Coneiderable portions of somo hnd boon uncoverod by Nature's doings, whila of others only such parts ns Obarley had uncovered could be scen. Noarly all wore largo trees, so far a8 we could judge. Fractures showed most of the petrifactions to_be white or light {;ullnw, with occasionally n black streak, Invariably the varications svoro determinod by the original grain of tho wood, which was always quite as distinet oy it evor conld hinve boen when 'in life. troes, howaver, wore ENTIRELY BLACK throughout, though different portions varied in intonsity of color, and these were tho most ex- posed of any which I met. There waa no difi- culty in dutermhlln%thnt thotrees wore the Cali- fornin Red Woud (Seguoia Sempervirens), Tho only othor_specio of this genus now estant is the' Sequoia Gigantea, or the Big Troes, which aro only found in the Biorra Nevadas, and this specios is still more limitod in its habitat, al- t{xongh soveral fossil specios of the genus Se- fiaia have been found, and one—the Sequoic ingsdorffii—found in tho MIOOENE TERTIALY OF GREENLAND, in about latitude 70 dogrees north, is very nasr(l‘y if not procisely Identical with the Red Wood, which 18 now only found in the coast-range of California, betwoen the 86th and 42d dogrees of north Iatitudo. Indeod the Reu Wood presents no mean comfimflunn for mugnitude with its near rolativo tho Big Troo of the Slorras, some mons- uring from 25 to 80 feet in diametor, and ono stumpeeven miles from Eurcka was reported 88 feet in dinmetor, and some have attained a height of 220 feot, It makes excollent finishing lum- ber, for which it {s much uscd in San Fraucisco. Our guide had mado oxtonsive search for these potrifactions, and had found thom for a distauce of soyenteen miles in & north and south diree- tion, and less than omile wide alwaya on the westerly slope of the range of foot-hills, the n{,“ of which wo passed on our way here. Through tho valloy runs o small crcek to the south, a few hundred foot from tho guide's cabin, On tho wost eide of this croolk, he informed mo, the mountain’s sido was of an entirely difforent formation to that ou tho east sido, whero the potrifsctions ocour, All tho petrificd troea which I oxamined are prostrate, and all foll in & BOUTIIEAST DIRECTION. with no porcoptiblo varintion, and such is tho caso with all that Charley has found, excopt one in n canon,which be pointed out a nila or mora north, whero tho stub of one, thirty or forty foot hlnpfih, ‘utill standa oract, though he thought this had onco beon _prostrate. But bo did not sug- gest how it had rogained Its erect posturo, Tho philosophy of this phenomonon must form the subject of refloction to all who oxamine this intoreating fleld of observation, and to ma it soomed not of dicfliult solution, Tho rango of hills, upon the western baso or slope of which those potrifactions oceur, is com- posed largoly of tufa, & soft sand-stone, of 'VOLOANIO ORIOIN, which hardons on' oxposure to tlie atmosphere, Horo, then, was the sBource of the silex which bad, patticlo by particlo, takon tho placo of tho wood, and so .fmdunny a8 {0 presorve with abe- solute porfoction tho original form of the wood which 1t had replaced. Tho woy I read the ovidonce before me was this: Horo stood the groat red wood forest, porhiaps on a lovel plain, perhaps on a doolivity. Mhen camo tho groat voleanio eruption, probubly {from those voleanio poaks and oxtiuot oraters wo #e0 away to the oast, and doposited these tufa hills which form tho =~ esstern border of the basin in _which the pot- rifactions are found, Thoso doposita no donbt closed in with tho Westorn rouge at somo point South, thus forming a lako of tho presont valloy. The WATEUS OF TIHIS LARE submeregd this rodwood forest, and boin, hoated by tho volcanio fires booamo snturates with silox from the groat body of the tufa consti- tuting tho Easstorn and Bouthoern bordor of the Iuke. Then commenced the process of potriface tion by digsolving awny & particle of the wood and depositing in its placo o particle of sllex and 6o went on this groat work of naturo till i} was flnally accomplished 88 we now seo it. This “procoss was no doubt slow as wo ordinarlly compute time, but, ns tho geologist cnm}mm it, may not have been yory oxtendod. Aftor the submorged treos thus standing eroot had boon converted to flint, then cama another convulsion of nature, whioh tore away tho dam which confined tho wators, and sllowed them to eseape, changed tho olovations and inelinations of thoe surfaces, J)mnlmlod the treee of stono, and brought down doposits in the rushing course of tho cscaping wators, which coverod most if not all of the prostrate troos, & fow of which by tho subscquent denuding pro- coss of naturo have bocomo exposed A8 We now goo thom, X'think thoro is ' ADUNDANT EVIDENOR to oatablish all the positions of the theory sug- oatod.
