[Dr. C. C. Cox, United States Commissioner to Australia, has received from Baron von Mueller of Melbourne, Victoria, a large quantity of eucalyptus seed which he has forwarded to Washington to be planted on the bank of the Potomac. Should the experiment succeed it will prove a sanitary godsend to the District.]
