A
VERY INTER!STING LETTER FROM THE
SUNNY SOUTH.
December 21st, 1877.
E ditor T idings :— I um almost
“frt Ze’’ io write souit-tbiiig for the
T idings . I Lave wade several efturts
to do mo , but^lie formation of Ihe al
phabetical characters fur necessary
words, with my lett hand, so absorbs
my intellectual facilities that tbe s.m-
pifcbt subject is too much fur me.
AmuDg the Various subjects that get
mixed up in my mind, when I attempt
to write, are tbe ‘ Labor Questiou,”
“ Leprous Mongol,” ‘ Pink Dominoe.i”
“Five-Cent Fare,” and other grave
qui stiouo which are just now agitating
the people of the great western me
tropolis The question now of most
interest to tlft average -Californian is
tbe
glorious rain .
About a week ago the glorious news,
fresh from the ltps of ‘’O!d Probabili
ties” dished across the Contineut, to
the eJTect that be had heard the pray
ers ol sun-dried California for ruin,and
bad ordered a sprinkle for their e*peo-
lal bent lit; and that he would send it
uloiig iu about forty-eight hours. Tbe
sequel showed that be was as good as
Lis word, and tbe enthusiastic Cali
fornians, with one accord, have voied
“Old Prob.” a brick. Up to thia date
tbeie has isHen a sufficient amount of
rain, it is said, to insure a fair crop
tbe coming season.
A system of deep plowing has been
inaugurated in tbe dry portions of Cali
fornia with a view of absorbings great
er amount of tbe rain fall, and, there
by, economizing what litlie water Old
Prob, cau spare.
From tbe telegraphic announcement
of the coming sprinkle to tbe present
time, business iu the city has assumed
A NEW LIFE.
Steamers whistle longer and loader,
Hotel runners have donned more brass,
confidence men are more affable, land
lords smile louder, lawyers are more
garrulous, thefts are more numerous
and stock brokers are more wild; in
short, San «Francisco is heaving and
steppiug around iu tbe glorious mud
like a poked ants’ nest.
San Francisco is wild with sensa
tions on every conceivable subject.
The courts have the “Low will case;”
stock exchanges, the injustice of the
Justice Mine managers; merchants, tbe
prospective prufits of their holiday
sales, aud the “Labor Q lestion” has
absolutely become a chronic seusation ;
—which, however, is impotent for
good or evil as long as sack blatherskites
Kearny and Wheelock retain its control.
As a proof of tbe sensational state of
affairs it is only necessary to note the
amusements required to call forth the
applause of the people. The theaters

Altbotfgb streets ami houses have been
built on aud acruss this orchard, there
is yet loft one row of tbesj venerable
date trees. On measuring one of these
“Centurions,” 1 found it to be seven
feet six inches in circuml»?rence.
These trees and tbe grape vines in the
vineyard have remained uncultivated
fur generations. Tbe old mission
church still stands a memento of past
ages aud past customs, and around it
are iouud muny a smouldering heap of
earth, beneath which repose, unknown,
the dead of generations long agone.
But this is au age in which peopie live
fur the present, aud I have no doubt
that yo r readers would be more edi-
filed to learn that^an Rafael of to-day
is located iu a pleasant little cove of a
valley sixteen miles up tbe Bay from
San Francisco. A trip from the oity
via Sau Quentiu, ’thence by narrow-
gauge railroad three miles, brings yon
to the nobby little town of which I
write. Suu R duel contains a popula
tion id some two thousand inhabitants, I
ul J lias the reputation of being one of
the most pleasant locations in the
btate. The bleuk, diwa reeable winds
aud fogs so prevalent iu Sau Francis
co, ure entirely shut out by tbe sur
rounding bills. Eternal verdure decks
the laud
( when it rains ,)
And frost is utmost unkuoan. In con
sequence of the pleasant surroundings,
mauy people doing business in tbe city
make their homes here and have built
many nice residences aud some elegant
mansions.
It is the county seat of Marin county
and contains an elegant court bouse,
three or four third rate church build-
lugs, a fourth rate school house aud
lots ol first class toper shops. I might
add that it has a coudemued chinaman
who is to have his neck broken on the
291b proximo. There—1 think I have
run the'subject into the ground and
have a good excuse to quit. J. M. S.
FROM THE STATE LINE.
GENERAL NEWS.
N ew P ine C reek . O regon , )
Dec. 22d, 1877. |
E ditor T idinns :— When I bade you
adieu and left tbe Granite City, to
dwell among the inhabitants of this
fair land, beside the murmuring waters
of “Gander Pood,” I promised to
report for tbe T idings , if I found
aught that would interest your readers.
The event has come. The quiet se
renity of our little world has been dis
turbed by your Ashland “soap fat”
man. Bro. Rigdon arrived here on
the 20ch and that evening addressed
the people on tbe subject of Temper
ance. A goodly number expressed
themselves as being desirous of having
a Lodge of Good Templars organized
here; and last evening, after a short
and telling address, he called for the
names of those who wished to enroll
themselves for a life crusade against
King Alcohol. Seventeen ladies and
gentlemen responded to the eall, and
were duly organized and instructed in
the un writteu work of the three degrees.
Bro. Rigdon, by his earnest and
plain talk—he doesn't “lecture”—has
awakened the whole community to a
sense of the ruin that drunkenness is
entailing upon our land, and showed
fairly the great work which Good Tem
plars are doing for tbe redemption of
our fair land from the blighting curse
of intemperance; and I predict that
ere long the little band who have taken
the lead will have gathered in their
neighbors and friends and that State
Line Lodge will prove a blessing to
the community.
the cnors
Here last season were good, there hav
ing been 43,000 bushels of the cereals
raised in this valley, which will sup
ply home consumption and leave a
margin for export. The fall clip of
wool was very large, aud for weeks past
the roads have beeu lined with teams
laden with that staple. Almost every
hoof of beef has beeu driven out of this
valley to market. Bacon is also ex
ported.
Tbe farmers are busily preparing
for another harvest, the early rain hav
ing put the ground in excellent con-*
dition for the plough. The weather
for three weeks has been bright and
warm, with frosty nights, and to-day is
more like September than December.
