 ple Society in Boston, Mass., in 1855, identified 

 himself with the Know-Nothing movement, 

 and, after bearing a conspicuous part in a noted 

 scandal case, resigned his charge, removed to 

 Kansas, and entered into a law-partnership. 

 He preached in New York city in 1861-'64, 

 again went to Kansas, and, shortly before 

 Denis Kearney started his sand-lots movement, 

 settled in San Francisco. His activity in this 

 movement led the De Young brothers to at- 

 tack his moral character in their newspaper, 

 the San Francisco u Chronicle," after he had 

 received the sand-lots nomination for Mayor 

 of the city, and on Aug. 23, 1879, he was shot 

 by Charles I)e Young for slandering the mother 

 of the De Young brothers. Notwithstanding 

 the excitement that followed, Mr. Kalloch was 

 elected Mayor. Subsequently his son, the 

 Rev. Isaac M. Kalloch, shot and killed Charles 

 De Young, and was acquitted of the charge of 

 murder after a sensational trial.

 Wilbraham Academy, Mass., and then studied 

 medicine at the medical department of the 

 Transylvania University. Dr. Kellogg was one 

 of the first botanists to visit the far West, and 

 the earliest scientific description of the big 

 trees of California was made by him and pub- 

 lished by John C. Fremont in his " Report of 

 the Exploring Expedition to the Rocky Mount- 

 ains in 1842, and to Oregon and North Cali- 

 fornia in the years 1843-'44" (Washington, 

 1845). He was also associated with John J. 

 Audubon in his exploration of Texas at the 

 time of the annexation of that country to the 

 United States. Subsequently, he made botan- 

 ical explorations along the western coast of the 

 American continent from Terra del Fuego to 

 Alaska in the north. In 1867 he was chosen 

 botanist of the expedition sent in June of that 

 year on a geographical reconnoissance of 

 Alaska under Prof. George Davidson. He be-

 Alexander Archipelago, then on part of Ka- 

 diak Island, and finally at Unalaska Island.

 of plants, from which be furnished complete 

 collections to the Smithsonian Institution, the 

 Philadelphia Academy of Sciences, and the 

 California Academy of Sciences. Dr. Kellogg 

 was one of the founders of the California 

 Academy of Sciences and a member of other 

 learned bodies. He contributed largely to 

 scientific periodicals and also to State and Na- 

 tional reports. Dr. Kellogg was exceedingly 

 skillful with his pencil and brush, and up to 

 nearly the last moment was occupied in making 

 drawings of the fioral and sylvan species of the 

 Pacific States, particularly the sylva, with the 

 intention of illustrating a work on the in- 

 digenous trees of California. Over 500 large
