It in true I Iihvc not boon alment long, but it hwiiuh like an age to me. One wantH to hoar from home Hay, how in everybody and everything, anyway? On the Kith of January, I Hliook the "mini" from oft" my HandulH, and, Haying good-byo to friimdH at Tumor, fltartod on a joiirnpy to the Humi-tropics of lower California. Firnt wimn tlio voyago on the ocean, and at this huhkou of tlio year it iH not al ways a pluuHunt one. I!ot tlio writer, however did not "feed the Hea liotm" Biore than once, and anide from being "rained -up" and "Htorm-bound" at AHtoria for three dayn and nightn, we had rather aleaHant trip. HAN FUANt'IMCO. I hud longed to visit that groat metrop olitan city and to Hen how much of inter cut it eontuined for me. Being the youngest of America's great cities San. Francisco ban a hiHtory, which though brief in its course of years, ig a BtieceHHion of rapidly occurring incidents, reaching the romantic and marvelous. Tourists und vimtorB are eHjxicially in terested iu its history and are amazed on learning of gome of its adventures. The invention and inaugurating of the "cable railway" stands an a monument repre senting the genius of one of her pioneers, to wit: 11. li. Brooks. I ler population forty years ho, was less Hum &(K), and to-duy Htie is estimated to have above 3()(),IK)0. MHS'HHing a taxable property of nearly $:i0O,00U,O, and her improve ments in manufacturing industries and the growth ol her commercial interests go on unabated. JOl'HNEVlNti HOl'TU. In making the journey by rail of 482 miles across the plains and desert to Los AngeleH one would not he expected.to'see very much in riding in the cars, esiee ially where a portion of the journey in made at nigut. On thiH route you traverse the San Joaquin valley, the great wheat held of Culilurnia, embracing the important cities, Lutiirop, Merced, and Fresno. At the time we made the trip there had been but little rain and the plains looked exceedingly dry and arid, and on our return Home three weeks later the pros jHsets for a crop were not very eucourg jng. A very large amount of the arable land is not being seeded to grain. I no ticed that one not acquainted withtjhe country here can be easily deluded as to the amount of rainfall. When the Ban Francisco and lxs Angoles paorH report rainfall and claim the crops secure for the season, saying they are having co pious ruins, it is not to be taken as a Hign that rain is falling in the interior. Alung the coasts and mountain ranges they may have had their usual rainfall, but'l apprehend that unless thay have a great deal more in the interior in the near future, that the crops will not turn out as were represented. Leaving the Kan Joaquin and Tulare valleys you puss through and over the Tohaehapi moun tains," getting glimpses of many tunnels, and often voiir idea of majesty and great ness are subordinated by mental fear as vou nass over the wonderful grades ; you ulso, as it were, at one swoop, get a full view of the "boon." that wonderful piece of railroad eniiiiieering. Passing the nutimiit, you at once enter upon the Mojave plain and desert. In passing throuirh this section of country your foeliiiL'H of beauty and "Pretty sights" are not intensified, unless you should luivea passiun for the "Yuea palm." LOH ANOH1.K8 Is a residence city of marvelous beau ty. On every hand it requires but a few steps from biwiness activity to carry one into the bowery repose ot tne tropical L'ardens. which iniinv citizens seem to take so much pride in keeping up about the home, whether it be one of those neat little cottaaes. or one of the more impos ing and more costly structures. The country in and about the city, abound? in a great variety ol truits, among which are orunue. lemon, lime, hg. pomegran ate, date, apricot, nectarine, pear, peach, prune, and plum trees, and grape vines of all kinds, besides the almond, pecan and walnut trees, and many others. The valleys udjucent to the city are fillod with beautiful homes, horticulture and viniculture being the chief pursuits of its people, The country is pretty nearly all cut no in small tracts., and the larger tracts are rauidlv being subdivided and nliicedliiDon the market. It was a surprise to us to know how one could make a living from so small a home a ten acre or twenty acre tract that it is claimed that those persons re alize more from their products than an Oreuouiun could from his quarter section, or even his section of land, and at the end of tlio year, would be wealthier, for his vironortv in the meantime would have enhanced in value from 10 to 25 jier cent. To illustrate, I witnessed the leasing of forty acres of land for a term of live years at a monthly rental of $15 00 per acre, payable in advance. This land was seven miles from the city and un improved. Orange orchards, full bearing sell from fclOO, to $750, per acre and walnuts full bearing still higher. Land is worth from $150 00 to $1500 00 per acre, according to location and improve ments. BKAI, EHTATK AGENTS. These fellows are fearfully plentuous in Los Angeles. In tlio business portion of the city, every other door is a roal estate ollice, and I believe I noticed a few signs designating their oilices in the residence portion of the city. A glance at the morning dailieq, anl you learn the result of their labors a column usually devoted to " real es tH te" .transactions. The dealings in "terra firma" are simply immense, and if numbers indicate their strength the business is certainly very profitable and paying. A lady visiting the city asked a ladv friend of hers -'What do your people do for a living?" "Oh," she said, "they Bimply live on the climate and off of strangers." These "professionals" cer tainly receive their iihare of the lion's share in living oti of strange. h. All new comers are named "Tenderfeet" until victimized, then they go under the so briquet "Suckers." Adieu to Los An geles. SANTA C'LAItA VALLEY. On the 17th ult., wife, sister, and self, beat a hasty retreat to the city and then immediately went to San Jose. This valley, in .riy eye, is to California what Los Angeles is said to be to the United States, "the garden snot" of the state. San Jose is centrally located and is a very pretty city. She" too, at this time, is taking on "the boom." Heal estate and improved city properly are making steady advances. Upon entering the city vou note at once the difference of her people as com pared with the denizens of Los Angeles. Instead of great throngs and seemingly idle masses, you see an active and ener getic class, pushing along, and their very motion imbues one with new zeal and new energy. Their public buildings are very creditable. The court house and state normal schools are models of neat ness and beauty. Aside from many courtesies and favors received from the hands of kind relatives, living in the vulley and Santa Clara City, we were kindly entertained by Rev. Henry Avery, of San Jose, who some twenty-five years ago, preached in New llome church in Oregon. We must not omit to mention the "Pacific Univer sity," situated midway between San Jose and Santa Clara. The campus having been greatly beautified by its beautiful walks, drives, and lawns, all Uiirg ornamented by the choicest of flowers and shade trees, teaching one how much nature can be improved and made pleasing by art, at a little expense of energy and enterprise. One feels badly, looking back to his alma mater. Instead of being adorned with beauties of art, we see her clothed in a garden of carrots and some other truck. Here we meet our genial friend, Pr. C. C. Stratton, who kindly showed us through the institution. I forgot to sav there were four large and imposing build ingsthe main building being HuxloO, and the pupils are more than 400. the doctor has been here for the past ten years, is president of tlie institution. Last year he was tendered the presidency of "Mills Seminary" at a salary of $4000, but being greatly attached to and iden tified with each and every interest of the Pacific, be considered it as his duty to remain with the institution at a less salary. He is doing a grand good work, and as a practical man his people feel as they would tie at a loss to replace him. 1 Ins letter is now by far ol too great length, and you will please pardon. On the out nist. we start for home via "Yaquina." E. E. McK BAN J' KANOIHCO, March . A LIU MAN FOB HIS TIME. I found conclusive proof in a barber shop yesterday of the correctness of Carlyle's pet theory. Carlyle's pet theory was that the cause of half tke evils of the age lay in its monstrous egotism its gnorant assumption ot superiority above all other ages. It was apropos of George Washington and his birthday. "Seems to me," said the barber, "that George is kind of played out in this country. I ain't seen a flag up to-day." "Oh, there s some," said the customer tentatively, "but they ain't many, that's a fact." "He was a pretty big man for his time," said the barber judicially, "but suppose he had to hustle with some of these people nowadays he'd get left eh?" The customer's lips were sealed with lather, but lie nodded assent at the risk of having a dimple-excavated in his chin "Suppose," said the barber, who was evidently a Republican, "that he had to buck against a man like Blaine?" "Orb" spluttered the customer, who was bound to declare his principles in spite of his soapy disadvantages, "a man like Randall ?" Philadelphia Press. A GREAT SECRET REVEALED. ' Since Miss Kastlake made her first ap pearance in this country, in her soft clinging garments, swaying in harmony with every step of the wearer, producing a most graceful and pituresque effect, so ciety has been on the qui vive to discover the secret, and gain, if possible, a tithe at least of the swish and sway and rhyth mic movement which seemed to make the garment worn by Helle instinct with life and motion, arid part and parcel of her individuality. The secret has been discovered, and the reigning belles in tip-top circles in New York are waltzing iu Helle dresses, and seem more capti vating than ever before. These pictu resque gowns are made of some soft clinging material, and worn over divided skirts, i. e., a seamed petticoat, which by this means is divides to the knee line, making the dress necessarily con form to the gait of the wearer. 1 he se cret is said to have been discovered by the costumer of Kosina V okes and im parted to a select few of his customers. St. Louis Spectator. A PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION. On a lecture tour in Kentucky, recent ly, General John S. Mosby, the ex guerrilla chieftain, fell asleep in a rail road car. and was robbed of a traveling bag containing his dress-suit and manu script lecture, it hurt Jus leelings, and when he next visited Washington be told Senator Beck that he didn't expect such treatment in Kentucky, and felt as though he hud been wounded in the house of bis friends. "Why," he added, "1 didn't suppose there was a single thief in Kentucky I" "There isn't," replied the blue-grass congressman; "but you see you were right in John Morgan's track ; and 1 must say he rather demor alized our people!" 1T MAUD S. NOT FOR SALE. It was Mr. Frank Siodalls of Phila delphia who offered Mr. Robert Booner $100,000 for Maud S., and it is said he has supplemented this offer by another of $125,000, with a certified check within twenty-four hours after the acceptance for the amount. Concerning this Mr. Bonner said : ' 'I have not received the offer $125,000, and it would make no difference if I had. If you were to come in here and propose to buy, say my little finger, you would naturally expect to pay a pretty good price for it, and yon would, furthermore, be pretty safe in offering a big price for it, because you would know very well that I would"not sell the finger. Well, I would as soon think of parting with my little finger as I would with Maud S. Maud S. is simply not for sale; that is all there is to the matter. If anybody were to offer me $200,000 or $300,000 it would be all the same. There are some things we do not part with for money, and Maud S. is one of them. If people like to advertise themselves by making large offers for her I suppose that is all right, but she will not be sold. "Mr. Vanderbilt felt the same way about her, and I never was more sur prised in my life than when, through Mr. Turnbull, he offered her to me. The $40,000 I gave him for her was, of course, no more to him than forty cents would be to most men. The reason he sold her was because his eyesight grew dim and he could not see his horses when he drove them. A million dollars would have been no temptation to him to sell her. Millions were common enough with him, but there was only one Maud K. 1 suppose the happiest day in Mr. Vanderbilt's life was when he drove MaudS. and Aldine in 2:15). But he could not drive her any more with com fort, and he wanted to dispose of her where she would not be abused ; where she would not be put upon now this race track and now that, and where she would not be allowed to win one day and beaten the next to suit the convenience of race track gamblers. Mr. Vanderbilt knew that I had some good horses, and that I took good care of them, and he wanted her placed with me because he wanted her well cared for. It was her comfort he was looking for; that is all. And I feel very much the same way. The mare, you may distinctly say, is not for sale, and cannot be bought." i hiladelpiiia, Feb. zo. "o," said Mr. Frank Siddalls, as he sat in his pleasant parlor this evening, 'T did not buy Maud h., although I want to bad enough. Joseph Harkness, who former ly owned Maud S., said that if anvbody could buy her he could, so I told him to go ahead and try, and advised mm to offer $100,000 for the mare. He did so, but lionner would Hot sell at any price. I suppose it would not be the regulation Unng for ttie horse to drop dead. Mr. Harkness, if he made the deal, was to receive $5,000. N. Y. bun. AN ITALIAN STOBY. . Dominico and Giovanni Baptistie Car- rafa were two brothers, born in Genoa, who in the early days of the gold excite ment came to San Francisco and started a bakery, which soon did a thriving trade selling bread at a dollar a loaf. In 18(35 Dominico became insane, and was sent home bv his brother, a sea-faring man, to Genoa, where be died nine years later. There was no administration uuon the estate, the surviving brother, Captain Giovanni, continuing the business until 1882, when, at his death, it devolved to his wife and nephew. The attention of the I'ublic Administrator being called to ttie matter, lie instituted a suit to admin ister upon one-half of the deceased Giov anni's estate as the property of the de ceased Dominico. Actinu UDon infonna tion received through some mysterious source, the Public Administrator repaired to the old bakery a few days ago, armed with pick and spade, and commenced digging in a certain corner of the cellar, He soon brought to light a number of earthen nower-pots, which were strangely heavy; and on removing the dirt iroui the top, heaps of shining gold and silver met his astonished eyes. I he total value of the estate amounted to over sixty thousand dollars, and a big lawsuit was the immediate result of the find. On Thursday the Signora Giovanni JBaptiste Uarrata, widow ol ttie late captain, was put upon the stand. 1 he court, knowing the volubility of a daughter of sunnv, I tallv, where money is in question, called the interpreter, and that worthy asked her name and occupation in choicest Italian. She seemed surprised for an in- instant, and then burst forth : "An phwat's that ve're savin'? Maze to talk plain American whin ye spbuke to me HE WAITED TOO LONG. The choir of a certain "orthodox" church in New England once sang Men delssohn's "I Waited for the Lord," giv ing it with four voices only, as they had no chorus. The start was a good one, and everything was going on with a swing and a boom, when suddenly the bass failed to come in on a solo passage when he was positively due. The or ganist played for a full bar, and then turned! and hissed: "What's the matter with you?" Then, just as everybody was wondering why the bass was behind time, the singer suddenly found his voice, and burst out iu really stentorian tones: "I waited for the Lord." The people smiled, and after the piece was finished the organist sought the singer, and stud : " M r. A. , your excuse was quite satisfactory. t HAD NO TROUBLE. Jupkins Sr. Well, Jack, you look hearty, and I'm glad to see you safe and sound. Those Western men are lawless folk, I hear. Jupkins Jr. (just from Montana) I never had any difficulty with them. "Well, I'm sure I've heard that they shoot a man who refuses to drink with them. Did they never ask you to drink?" "Um yes." I "But they spared you on account of your youth?" "Er no. I always drank."

Last Sunday J. P. Slover took a dose of aconite from a bottle that was sent him by mail. Dr. Norris was hastily called soon after the dose was taken, and labored with him all night having hard work to keep life in him. Mr. 8. is bettor now but it was a very close call. Oregon City Enterprise. Brick for tuk New Offices. The Santa Maria brought up, as part of her cargo, 107,000 brick, one million of which are to be used in the construction of the Oregon Pacific Railway Co.'s new office in Yaquina City this season. The Yaquina City due next week, will bring up two or three hundred thousand, and so on until the entire lot is shipped. A Bio Purchase. Van B. DeLash mntt, of the Metropolitan bank, returned from the Coeur d'Alene country yester day. During his visit he purchased the Stem-winder mine, paying $00,000 for the property. Mr. DeLashmutt pro poses putting a large force of miners at work very soon to develop the property and make it show what it contains. Telegram. He Just Escaped. A few davs ago Thomas Harris, of Wells station, Benton county, had a narrow escape. He was lowing and the inside tug of the near horse became unhitched and while be was hitching it up the inside horse icked, striking him on the cheek and top of his head. The blow was a glanc ing one and the result was a bruised head and a black eye and just a narrow escape from instant death. Christian Park. Articles of incor poration have been filed incorporating the Ocean View Christian Park at Ya quina Bay. The object is to maintain a park for religious purposes, the in come is to be derived from free dona tions, assessments of members, and the sale of lots, lhe land of the corporation has been secured.

A TOUGH "TENDEltFOOT. That was rather a good story heard down in front of the St. Elmo hotel one day last week. A party of real estate men standing on the sidewalk discussing the rise in value of realty in Los Angeles within the past twelve months. Said one of them: "Why, gentlemen, I bought a piece of property out here in the southern part of the city, Nov. 188'i. Paid $1,750 for it. Everybody said 1 paid too much, and I conkjBS 1 was lHClinea to minit so nxyseu. Ten months later I let it go for $4, 560. And when you get up to larger trans actions the ratio increases." "Oh, yes:" declared a second. "Now to illustrate. I bought a ten acre tract early last spring, platted it, and put it on the "market. Cost a fraction over $14,000. I wound the last of it up on the first day of January and found that I had cleaned up net a little over $25,000." The third real estato dealer had just removed a cigar from his mouth and was preparing to start in. when a stranger, or rather a prospective buyer from the interior, that is the east, anticipated him. "Hold on gentlemen," said he, "I can tell vou an experience very much more conclusive of the rapid increase of prop erty here, than that. I arrived here last Wednesday week. Unfortunate'.v I am addicted to the flowing bowl, and hap- neuisz to meet an old friend from New Orleans, we proceeded to incarnadine the city. I regret to say that I must have fallen down repeatedly during tne even ini;.

"WEDDING PRESENTS. As a matter of good taste, the publish ing of a long list of wedding presents is questionable, but the list recently pub lished in a country paper is, in one sense, interesting, including as it did : "From father and mother of the bride, one Jersey calf; from the bride to groom, hair wreath made from hair of her entire family, and also six fine shirts ; from brother Klias, one book of poems, one Dream book, one Tolite Letter Writer,' and a dog; from Aunt Harriet, six hens and a rooster, also one jar tomato catsup ; from Cousin Sarah, one poem made up by herself on bride and groom, fifteen verses in all.

The Chicago News prints the sworn tax retinas of forty or fKty millionaires, board of trade and business magnates, in which they rate their personal prop erty anywhere from $200 to $2,000, un derneath pictures of their palatial houBes. One man, who has an immense, 4-story Queen Anne establishment, wi.h stables, swears in all his horses at $40, carriages at the same sum, pianos at $30 and household and office furniture at $500. HE WASN'T DEAD. When a certain backwoodsman, a score of years ago, was found with a rope around his neck, suspended from a kitch en beam, suspicion attached to his wife, with whom he had not been on the best of terms. At the inquest she was sharply questioned. "You say you found him hanging to the beam when you went into the kitchen 7 I do, sir. "Well, why didn't you cut him dawn ?" "Why, law, he warn't dead yet."
