The new growth of ^Jigreen embellishes tho landscape eve-ry-'Hwliere—hill and valley and plain, until ■you reach, with the eye the high moun-tains in the far distance which are top-ifsped out with snow gleaming in the sun-£ shine. \To the lover of Nature the scene I.T-lK'ie beautiful indeed, enlivened too by '•J;!the'birds of passage that are flying over sV: .by the thousands, and the voice of the |!V-.. yonker and the quack of the duck is heard night and day, while the lake and •■lakelets of this ranoh are filled with the '. various finny tribo and their surfaces with the gambols,and sports of myraids v;'-of water fowl. Tho rod and the gun are ' ;.th.e implements for use just now, and Aus'ihe Call-said, the other day, “Oali-fefoirnia is the sportsman’s paradise.” ifil’he folks have all gone to walk to en-f joy the pleasure of a stroll this pleasant IS'imday afternoon, Miss E.

If you ever visit Cali-l^.'.fomia, I should advise you to give it a liyywido berth m that part of the dry sea-Mson. which includes August and September,, as then heat and dust make it Rvery disagreeable, unless one should pftoke to tho mountains or to the coast,as ^thousands do every year, by families |§?and .companies, to get out of'the valleys [if for the enjoyment of a cooler tempera: ||p£ure and a splendid recreation.'' -,■I^iss Stevenson who came out last [^fh'll With Miss Cassie Blaiichard of Ne-j^ponset on a' visit of pleasure and of Insight seeing is here yet, and is teaching (/■school in' the family of State Senator, jjtho Hon; Ben of Lankford. , Upon the ^’roil of her scholarship are the two sons |of ’this gentleman' ' who is one |of the nabobs of the Sau Joacquiu (like Jxpurself a Democrat) his homo ranch g|n this neighborhood consisting of be-./tween 2,500 and 3,U00 .acres.

And now tho boys want to see San Francisco bay and the Pacific ocean through the Golden Gate—sights that are worth the round trip of 2,000 miles to see. W.. H.
