EERN CALIFORNIA ANAHEIM, GALIFORNIA, DECEMBER 16-1871. A WHITE PINE BALLAD. BY BRET HARTE Recently, with Samuel Johnson, this occasion I improved. Whatever certain genius of affluence, I hear, were greatly moved; But not all of Johnson's folly, although multiplied by nine. Could compare with Milton Perkins, late an owner in White Pine. Johnson's folly—to be candid—was a wild desire to treat. Every male white citizen hame upon the street; And there being several thousand—but this subject why pursue? Tis with Perkins, and not Johnson, that to-day we have to do. No, not wild, promiscuous treating, not the wine cup's ruby flow. But the female of his species brought the noble Perkins low; "Twas a wild poetic servor and excess of sentiment That left the noble Perkins, in a week, without a accent. "Milton Perkins," said the siren, "not thy wealth do admire, But the intellect that flashes from those eyes of opal fire; And methinks the name thou bearest surely cannot be misplaced. And embrace me, Mr. Perkins!" Mr. Perkins her embraced. But, I grieve to state, that even then, as she was wiping dry The tears of sensibility in Milton Perkins eye, She prigged his diamond bosom pin, and that her wipe of lace. Letter from Santa Ana. SANTA ANA, Dec. 7th, 1871 Editor Southern California think it important that the world at last and mankind generally should be kept posted in regard to the prosperity and progress of Santa Ana and vicinity. have no large pumpkin stories to unfold nor fish story to ventilate; but I can vote for friend Russell's yarn and can say that I do not think that his was the largest pumpkin in Gospel Swamp by any means. Our Town is visited every day by newcomers looking for homes in our fertile valley. One great drawback to our country is the scarcity of land for suitable lots; those parties who own large tracts are refusing to sell in small quantities. The schooner Solano, which was partially wrecked in San Joaquín Bay, is now on the ways at Newport undergoing repairs, and will soon ready for sea. The steamer Vaquero gone to San Diego with a cargo of lumber. The people here are quiet on the road question, but are almost unanimously opposed to subsidy. We think P. H. record in the L. A. and S. P. Railroad has opened the eyes of the people sufficiently to prevent his making another disruption. "Milton Perkins," said the siren, "not thy wealth do I admire. But the intellect: that flashes from those eyes of opal fire; And methinks the name thou bearest surely cannot be misplaced. And—embrace me, Mr. Perkins!" Mr. Perkins her embraced. But, I grieve to state, that even then, as she was wiping dry The tears of sensibility in Milton Perkins eye. She prigged his diamond bosom pin, and that her wipe of lace Did seem to have of chloroform a most suspicious trace. Enough that Milton Perkins later in the night was found With his head in an ash barrel, and his feet upon the ground; And he murmured "Seraphina" and he kissed his hand, and smiled On a person who went through him like an unresisting child. MORAL Now, one word to Pogonippers, ore this subject: In this tale of Milton Perkins—late an owner in White Pine— You shall see that men and women are deceitful, just the same; And the tear of sensibility has salted many a claim.

The steamer Vaquero gone to San Diego with a cargo of hull. The people here are quiet on the Road question, but are almost unanimously opposed to subsidy. We think P. H. record in the L. A. and S. P. Railroad has opened the eyes of the people sufficiently to prevent his making another decision into their pocket. Yesterday our town was considerably enlivened by a scrub race, the stalk were $10 a side, the winner was to treat the crowd; consequently, after the rainy times were quite lively at Nimmo's, and a considerable amount of whisky was destroyed in a short time. Mr. G. Russell has sold a part of his ranch, including the improvements, to a Mr. Paterson, from up country. Mr. Russell now builing on his ranch near Santa Ana. The good people of Santa Ana are taking steps to have a Christmas Tree on the approaching Christmas greatly to the delight of the rising generation, who are expecting Santa Claus to bring them large quantities of nice things. We have a singing school operation, under the direction of Mr. Gec. Bemis, as teacher, and scholars are mailing some progress in the art music. Yours, Novice Proposed Route of Anaheim Railroad. [COMMUNICATED] Commencing at the corner of Santa Ana and Lemon street; running West on Santa Ana street until it intersects Washut street; thence South on Walnut street to the Northern boundary of Section 2; thence due West on the Section line on mile West of Mr. Kellogg's place to the Nortwest corner of Section 19; thence due South one and a half miles to a point near the corner of the Alamitos ranch; thence on a direct line to Anaheim Landing with the exception of a slight curve at the point of the hill. The length of the purposed road will be 13½ miles. The entire cost of building and equipment said road, by careful estimate, will not exceed $70,000, and would without Absobant Powers of Mellow Soils Experiments have shown that a mellow, loamy soil is capable of absorbing, in twelve hours, when exposed to a moist atmosphere, an amount of water equal to two per cent. of its weight. If any argument was necessary to keep the soil mellow, here is a most powerful one to convince us. For this property possessed by a mellow soil is one that in a dry season that is able to give it the power of maturing a crop, when a hardened surface would be unable to do so. A surface that is impenetrable to the atmosphere, of course could not absorb any of the moisture with which the atmosphere is charged. But rendered free from lumps by repeated plowing and harrowings, each change of temperature causes a circulation of air throughout the mass of soil, is free to absorb all the moisture coming in contact with it until it is saturated. So, then, the more the soil is mellowed by cultivation, the less it is injured by the drought, and this better is it enabled to mature a hair crop in the absence of rain. The Albany (Oregon) Democrat has the following: "We have in our office a new feature in the wheat line, called 'goose wheat,' the grains of which are remarkable for size, it for nothing else—a few of them measuring half an inch in length. It is estimated that when well cultivated this wheat will yield seventy-five bushels to the acre. It is said to have 'got it start' by a will goose having been killed on Puget Sound many years ago in whose stomach was found two grains of wheat which were duly sown, and from which arose the seed. The specimen in our possession came from the farm of Martin Rainwater, near the city, who raised about a quarter of an acre this year. W.L. Yantis will send specimens of this cereal to the St. Louis Fair this fall, where it will doubtless create much astonishment among the farmers of the Mississippi valley." A rural paper remarks: Oak sight have put a stop to gate sparking. If she doesn't ask you to come in you had better quit." ORNIAN. NO. 8 Webster's Eloquence. One of the noblest bursts of eloquent speculation and reasoning ever made by Daniel Webster, is contained in his introductory discourse of Nov. 14th, 1828, before the Mechanics' Institute, in Boston. It may be found at page 439, vol. 1, of his published speeches. We refer to it the attention of every one who is food of seeing noble thoughts clothed in masculine Saxon. Here is a single passage taken at random: "A history of mechanical philosophy, however, would not begin with Greece. There was a wonder beyond Greece. Higher up in the annals of mankind, nearer, far nearer, to the origin of our race; out of all reach of letters, beyond all history except what remains in the monuments of her own arts, lands Egypt, the mother of national Egypt! Theoes the Labyrinthl the Pyramids! who shall explain the mysteries which these names suggest? The Pyramids! who can inform us whether it was by mere numbers and patience, and labor aided, perhaps, by the simple lever, or is it not, by what unknown machine mass was thus aggregated to mass, and quarry piled on quarry till solid granite seemed to cover the earth and reach to the skies. The ancients discovered many things, but they left many things also to be discovered; and this, as a general truth, is what our posterity a thousand years In Italy the clearing of the Appenines is believed to have seriously altered the climate of the Po Valley, and now the African sirocco never know to the armies of the ancient Rome breathes its hot, blighting breath over the right bank of that river in the territory of Grama. That similar removal of the pine forest near Ravenna, about twenty miles long, induced this same desolating wind, which continued until the wood has been allowed to grow again. There is no doubt that in France the removal of the old forests of the Vosges sensibly deteriorated the climate on the plains of Alsace; and it is a historic fact that the ancient destruction of the forests of the Cevennes, under the reign of Augustus left the large and rich tracts near the mouth of the Rhone exposed to the steady violence of the mistral (or nor heast wind), before which the area of olive culture has retreated many a league, the orange is confined to a few sheltered points on the coast, and fruit trees can hardly be reared in places where they were famously prolific. The curtailment of the rainfall is a well known consequence of the disappearance of forests; and in Egypt, where during the French occupation in 1868, not a drop of rain fell for sixteen months, and from time immemorial the country has been a rainless bed of sand, Mohemed Ali, by planting his millions of fig and orange trees, has since seen his country blessed with an annual rain fall of several inches. How To Get Along! Do not stop to tell stories in business hours. If you have a place of business, be found there when wanted. No man can get rich by sitting around stores and saloons. Never "fool" in business matters. Have order, system, regularity, liberality, and promptness. Do not meddle with business you know nothing of. Never buy an article you do not need simply because it is cheap, and the man who sells will take it out in trade. Trade is money. Strive to avoid hard words and personalities. Do not kick every stone in the path. More miles can be made in a day by going steadily on than by stopping. Pay as you go. A man of honor respects his word as he does his bond. Aid, but never beg. Help others, when you can; but never give what you cannot afford to, simply because it is fashionable. Learn to say "no." No necessity for snapping it out door-fashion, but say it firmly and respectfully. Have but few consummates, and the fewer the better. Use your own brains rather than those of others. Learn to think and act for yourself. Be vigilant. Keep ahead rather than behind times.
