WELCOME TO THE JAPANESE A poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes, read at the banquet of the Japanese Embassy, at the Kervese House, Boston, August 23, 1872. We welcome you, Lords of the Land of the Sun! The voice of the many sounds freely through one; Ah! would it urge a voice of more musical tone, But the dog-star is here, and the song-birds have down. And what shall I sing that can cheat you of smiles, Ye heralds of peace from the urgent tide? If only the Jubilee—Why did you wait? You are welcome, but oh! you're a little too late! We have greeted our brothers of Ireland and France Round the Sedge of Sarum we have joined in the dance, We have laughed Herr Saro, that fine looking man, And glorified Godfrey, whose name it is llan. What a pity! we've missed it and you've missed it too! We had a day ready and waiting for you; We'd have shown you—provided, of course, you had come— You'd have heard—no, you wouldn't, because it was dumb. And then the great organ! The chorus's shout! Like the mixture testotalers call "Cold without"—A mingling of elements, strong but not sweet; And the drum, just referred to, that couldn't be beat." The shrines of our pilgrims are not like your own, Where white Frostyama lifts proudly its come—[The snow mantled mountain we see on the fan] That cools our but cheeks with a breeze from Japan.] Township Boundaries ANAHIM TOWNSHIP. All that part of Los Angeles county circumscribed by a boundary line beginning at the mouth of the Santa Ana river; (being a common corner of the ranchos Las Bolinas to the west, and Santiago, de Santa Ana to the east), thence northerly, up said Santa Ana river, with the west boundary of said Santiago de Santa Ana rancho to the southeast corner of the rancho San Juan Cajon de Santa Ana; (which is also the southeast corner of the Pacific Ontiveras tract); thence with the east boundary of said ancho, San Juan de Cajon de Santa Ana to its northeast corner; (being also the southeast corner of the rancho Rincon de la Brea) there north, with the east boundary of said last named rancho to the summit of the ridge to the north and west of the Canada de la Brea; thence westerly, along said summit, and crossing the Canada de los Ybarras, continuing on the summit of the Puente hills to the east boundary of the La Habra rancho; thence along the boundary line between the Habra and Puente, northerly to station 23 of the survey of the Puente ranch; (being also the northeast corner of the Habra) thence northwest. Ventura County Santa Barbara is the city north of Mexico, Lopez and San Diego counties in Ns extreme length on the nearly two hundred miles average width of forty boundaries are included to of Anacapa, Santa Cruz, and San Miguel, constituting most considerable group of western shore of the Pacific ocean closely connected, extending der named, from Point Point Conception, nearly length of the county. This vast extent of territory than several of the states in January next be divided counties, the southern by the name of Ventura county will be in extent the average sized counties on a sea coast line from Point to Los Angeles county of about fifty miles from the coast from thirty. The genera of the country is hilly and tainous, and impresses no particularly those from states, with the idea that but a small portion of any From its western bounded creek to the San Buenaventura. You'd have heard—no, you wouldn't, because it was dumb. And then the great organ! The chorus's about! Like the mixture testators call "Cold without"—A mingling of elements, strong but not sweet; And the drum, just referred to, that "couldn't be beat." The shrines of our pilgrims are not like your own. Where white Fusiyama lifts proudly its come. [The snow mantled mountain we see on the fan. That cools our but cheeks with a breeze from Japan.] But ours the wide temple where worship is free. As the wind of the prairie, the wave of the sea; You may build your own altar wherever you will, For the roof of that temple is over you still. One dome overarches the star-bannered shore; You may enter the Pope's, or the Puritan's door, Or pass with the Buddhist his gateway of brunze, For a priest is but Man, he be bishop or bonus. And the lesson we teach with the sword and the pen Is to all of God's children, "We also are men!" If you wrong us we smart, if you grief us we bleed, If you love us no quarrel with color or crest! You'll find us a well meaning, free-spoken crowd. Good natured enough, but a little too loud—To be sure there is always a bit of a row. When we choose our Tycoon, and especially now. For things are so mixed, how's a fellow to know What party be he's of, and what vote he shall torment? White is getting so black and black's getting so white. Republic-rat. Dem-lean-can't get'em right! You'll take it all calmly—we want you to sea What a peaceable fight such a contest can be. And of one thing be certain, however it ends. You will find that our voters have chosen your friends. If the horse that stand saddled is first in the race You will greet your old friend with the weed in his face. And if the white hat and the White House agree, You'll sad H.G., really as loving as he. But ob, what a pity—once more I must say—That we could not have joined in a Japanese day! A chorus of thousands, all singing in tune. God bless the Mikado! Long live the Tycoon! The Lord of the mountain looks down from his crest. As the banner of morning unfurls in the west. The Eagle was always the friend of the Sun; You are welcome!—The song of the cagebird is done. Telling Stories. A few years ago, a society was formed in New York for the suppression of story tellers. Artemus Ward, Dan Boyant, Billy Florence and men of that ilk, constituted the active members. Their plan was, when a man commenced a story to get up and saunter away, one at a time, leaving the unhappy man to complete his narration to the chairs and other furniture. One day Dan Bryant so far forgot himself as to begin a story forbibly brought to his remembrance by some accident of the occasion. Ward got up and sauntered out, whi-thing a melancholy tune. One by one the remainder followed suit, with troubled looks and a shake of the hand. with the east boundary of said last named rancho to the summit of the ridge to the north and west of the Canada de la Brea; thence westerly, along said summit, and crossing the Canada de los Ybarras, continuing on the summit of the Puente hills to the east boundary of the La Habra rancho; thence along the boundary line between the Habra and Puente, northerly to station 23 of the survey of the Puente ranch; (being also the northeast corner of the Habra) thence northwestily, along the south boundary of the Puente to its point of intersection with the range line dividing ranges 10 and 11 west. of the San Bernardino Meridian; thence south, along said range line between ranges 10 and 11 weat to the tip corner of townships 3 and 4 south, ranges 10 and 11 west; thence west along the township line between townships 3 and 4 south, range 11 west; to the point where the same crosses the Coyote creek; thence south westerly and down said Coyote creek to the coast of the Pacific Ocean, and thence following the shore line to the point of beginning. SANTA ANA TOWNSHIP. All that part of Los Angeles county, circumscribed by a boundary line beginning at a point on the Santa Ana river, to the common southeast corner of the rancho San Juan Cajon de Santa Ana and of the Pacifico Ontiveras tract; thence easterly up the Santa Ana river, with the boundary line of the rancho Santiago de Santa Ana to the east boundary of the county; thence with the said county line to the summit of the ridge to the north of the Canada de la Brea; thence south-westly along said summit (so as to include the Canada de la Brea with its side canoes) to the east boundary of the rancho Rincon de la Brea, and thence southerly along said east boundary of the Rincon de la Brea and the east boundary of the rancho San Juan Cajon de Santa Ana to the point of beginning. The Philadelhia Post says: "To call a man a 'Colonel' is to convey the idea that he is of a mild, meek and benevolent disposition. It is also an evidence that he never was a soldier. For instance, we may recall some of the Colonels of Philadelphia. There is Col. Forney, Col. McClure, Col. McMichael, Col. Scott, Col. Mann, Col. Fitzgerald, Col. Phillips, Col. Hicken, Col Green and Col Fritz. Of what regiment? And we might mention many more gentlemen of high standing, who county will be in extent on average sized counties on a sea coast line from Point to Los Angeles county distance about fifty miles from the coast from thirty.* The generals of the country is bily a tainous, and impresses new particularly those from states, with the idea that but a small portion of any From its western bounded creek, to the San Buenaventura, a distance of fifteen miles rolling hills extend from mountains to the verge of the ocean, and with few land is worthless exerting. But from the river of Saw Buenaventura to you, some thirty miles, this is a level, fertile plain. San Buenaventura, rising in the mountains, and running westerly to the sea, is a beautiful stream, its cry flowing through a narrow valley to the town where its name.* This vast timbered on the south Trout abound in its water adjoining hills afford a fit sportman. The Santa Clara river stream, and yet one of within some hundreds above or below, rises in miles county, and running west, crosses the entire this county, reaching about eight miles below of the San Buenaventura point, its valley is o miles wide, gradually for twenty miles when to four or five, retaining to the point of entrance county. Tributary to the Sea are the Santa Paula, Sequoia each a beautiful stream mountain water in sufficient titles for milling and uses. The hills on these valleys are generally covered the year round urious growth of nutritious affording the finest stock onthe coast.

One day Dan Bryant so far forgot him all as to begin a story forcefully brought to his remembrance by some accident of the occasion. Ward got up and sauntered out, whi-thing a melancholy tune. One by one the remainder followed suit, with troubled looks and a sad shake of the head, sometimes sighting deeply. By the time Dan had reached the middle of his story he was alone. As the last man passed out, Dan turning to a picture of George Washington banking on the wall, and remarking— "Here old fellow you've got to hear the rest of the story. I like to see you get down and walk off on your ear" completed his narrative, the Father of his Country listening with that calm dignity so characteristic of him. It is needless to say the story extinguished, who were listening on the outside, enjoyed this part of the yarn at least. By a beautiful dispensation of Providence, whenever a poor shilts less, good-for-nothing man is sent into the world, some active, go-ahead little woman is invariably fastened to him to tow him along through and keep his head above water. It's for the best of course. What would become of the poor fellow without her. At the same time she sometimes finds it a little hard. A merchant advertised for a clerk "who could bear confinement," and received an answer from one who had been seven years in jail. The editor of a Western journal recently announced that the arrival of an "extra male" prevented the prompt issue of her paper. Call a man a 'Colonel' is to convey the idea that he is of a mild, meek and benevolent disposition. It is also an evidence that he never was a soldier. For instance, we may recall some of the Colonels of Philadelphia. There is Col. Forney; Col. McClure; Col. McMichael; Col. Scott; Col. Mann; Col. Fitzgerald; Col. Phillips; Col. Hicken; Col Green and Col. Fritz. Of what regiment? And we might mention many more gentlemen of high standing, who have never been in the army, and can only be called 'Colonel' as a tribute to their antipathy to blood. If every Colonel were a soldier, the standing army in Philadelphia would be a menace to our liberties. Their number is as great as it was in San Francisco, to which John Phoenix bears witness in the following story: The steamship was leaving the wharf for San Diego, and everybody was taking leave of friends—all but Phoenix, who had no friend to bid him farewell. Ashamed of his loneliness, as the boat sheered off he called out in a loud voice, "Good-by Colonel!" and, to his great delight, every man on the wharf took off his hat and shouted, "Colonel, good-bye!" An experienced housekeeper asserts that flies may be kept out of a butter plate on the table by a simple novel expedient by planting in it a thin slice of bread, cut columnwise, and inserted in a perpendicular position. Whether the bread scarce off the flies the lady cannot say, but she declares it certainly keeps them off. Architect — "How would you support a projecting portico or piazza?" Student — "With brackets, or else with what-do-you-columns." Architect — "What is a rear elevation?" Student — "Getting your back up, I suppose." Urious growth of nutritious affording the finest stock on the coast. There is fine Santa Clara, though the hills; but the creeks afford an abundance for and by careful use will long time to come. To ward and eastward of the to and far beyond the coast there is nought but a small bills, mountains and snail valuable for stockraising minerals they contain. "T D."

THEY HAD BETTER lady writer says if women particular in choosing husband as men are in virtuous wife, a moral would soon begin which something more than foam. When this reform mentes there will be a rigges for a time at least Ventura County. Santa Barbara is the third county of Mexico, Los Angeles San Diego counties intervening extreme length on the coast is by two hundred miles, by an age width of forty. Within its daries are included the islands encaps. Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa San Miguel, constituting the considerable group on the west shore of the Pacific Ocean; and fully connected, extend, in the ornamented, from Point Magou to Conception, nearly the entire north of the county. This vast extent of territory, larvae several of the states, will January next be divided into two cities, the southern half taking name of VENTURA. The new city will be in extent equal to average sized counties, extension on a sea coast line from Rincon to Los Angeles county, a distance of about fifty miles; and back on the coast from thirty to forty. The general character of the country is hilly and mountainous, and impresses new comers particularly those from the prairies, with the idea that there is a small portion of arable land. In its western boundary, Rincon link to the San Buenaventura riv Ties for the Texas Pacific. The following item of considerable local interest we clip from the Santa Cruz Sentinel: "The agent of the Texas Pacific railroad—engineered by Tom Scott of Pensacola—was in Santa Cruz last week looking into our lumber forests to see what the chance was for timber and building lumber from this market. The road will start from San Diego eastward in about time, Scott has already 17 saw mills getting out lumber on the route through Texas and Arizona. Some 2,000 men will be immediately put on the route to grade the road. There is timber enough on the headwaters of the San Lorenzo and Pagadena creeks to build five railroad tracks across the continent, and keep on engineers in firewood fifty years. There are plenty of trees that would furnish railroad ties though for a mile of railroad each, and in many places from thirty to forty such trees can be found on an acres of land." READ THIS, GIRLS.—There is not a girl on earth, whether the daughter of prince or pauper, who made perfect mistress of all household duties, and thrown into a community wholly unknown, would not rise from The city will be in extent equal to the average sized counties, extending on a sea coast line from Rincon to Los Angeles county, a distance of about fifty miles, and back to the coast from thirty to forty. The general character of the country is hilly and mountainous, and impresses new comers particularly those from the prairie areas, with the idea that there is a small portion of arable land. On its western boundary, Rincon Lake, to the San Buenaventura river, distance of fifteen miles, high, along hills extend from the mountains to the verge of the waters of ocean, and with few exceptions, land is worthless except for grazing. But from the river and town San Buenaventura to Point Mason some thirty miles, the country level, fertile plain. The river San Buenaventura, rising far back on the mountains, and running southwardly to the sea, is a small but beautiful stream, its crystal waters flowing through a narrow but rich key to the town whence it takes its name. This valley is the timbered on the southern coast; but abound in its waters, and the mining hills afford a fine field for sportman. One Santa Clara river, a small canyon, and yet one of the largest in some hundreds of miles five or below, rises in Los Angeles county, and running nearly due west, crosses the entire breadth of the county, reaching the ocean at eight miles below the mouth of the San Buenaventura. At this point, its valley is over twenty-five wide, gradually narrowing twenty miles when it falls off our or five, retaining that width at the point of entrance into the city. Tributary to the Santa Clara the Santa Paula, Sespe and Pineach a beautiful stream of cold, contain water, in sufficient quantities for milling and agricultural uses. The hills on the borders of these valleys are generally low and covered the year round with a luxurious growth of nutritious grasses,ording the finest stock range on coast. There is fine timber on Santa Clara, though but little on the hills; but the creeks and canions hold an abundance for all purposes. By careful use will last for a long time to come. To the north-west and eastward of these valleys,and far beyond the county limits: there is nought but a succession of mountains and small valleys, suitable for stockraising and the minerals they contain. Ventura READ THIS, GIRLS.—There is not a girl on earth, whether the daughter of prince or pauper who made perfect mistress of all household duties, and thrown into a community wholly unknown, would not rise from one station to another, and eventually became the mistress of her own mansion, while multitudes of young women, placed in positions of ease, elegance and affluence, being unfited to fill them, will as ce tainly descend from one round of the ladder to another, until at the close of life, they are found to be where the really competent started from. Mothers of America, if you wish to rid your own and your children's households of those destroying locusts which infest your houses and eat up your substance; take a pride in educating your daughters to be perfect mistresses of every home duty; then, if you leave them without a dollar, be assured they will never lack a warm garment,a bountiful meal, or a cozy roof,nor fail of the respout of any one who knows them. More than 200 barrels of smokes,fishes,shells,petractionsand much" were collected by the scientist during the voyage of the Hassler. Most of them have been sent to Boston from the various ports where the steamers touched. The San Diego naturalists,of which there seems to be many,are constantly adding to Professor Agostinic collection. It will take years of patient labor to examine studyclassify etc.,etc,the specimens collected by this expedition.-San Diego World. ALFALFA FOR SHEEP PASTURE.—At a late meeting of the Napa Farmers' Club a statement was made 1,000 sheep are kept year-round,pasturing from field to field.on 40 acres of alfalfa,or 25 sheep on an acre,and that four head of heat cattle are kept on an acre.The land was irrigated in both cases.Five acres are allowed for one cow or five sheep.of good natural pasture;so that one acre of irrigated alfalfa is as good as twenty of wild grass,not irrigated. THE RATES.—We are informed that the Pacific Mail Steamship Company will positively cause their IT D.” PIPES—It is a matter of equity by a great many, especially farmers, what the initials T. D. on a large number of the clay pipes offered for sale all over New England can thereby hang a tale. There were lived in Newburyport, Mass., eccentric genius named Dexter, who used to have his name written with the suffix, “My Lord Timothy.” He was a great smoker and invariably used a clay pipe manufactured at a pipe factory in that city. In order that his name or its initials might not be lost to prosperity, he allowed this factory, with the understanding that every pipe offered for sale by it should bear the initials of his name, and from the day of the endowment until the present time, every clay pipe made by the Newburyport Pipe Manufacturing Company bears the twentieth fourth letters of the alphabet, such as when English, mean Timothy Dexter. THEY HAD BETTER TEXT.—A busy writer says if women were articular in choosing a virtuous husband as men are in selecting a virtuous wife, a moral reformation would soon begin which would be something more than froth and foam. When this reformation comes there will be a stop to marigolds for a time at least. THE RATES.—We are informed that the Pacific Mail Steamship Company will positively cause their steamers to touch at San Pedro, on and after the steamer sailing September 17th, and that the fare from San Francisco to San Pedro will not exceed $12 for cabin, and $8 for steerage. Also that cabin passage from San Pedro to New York will be $100. Steerage $50—Star. Mr. Bishop, in his "First Book of the Law," speaking of the natural qualifications necessary for the study and practice of the law, says: "A man with a contracted moral part may sometimes make a good physician, or even a good minister of the gospel, but he can never become a good lawyer." A Missouri gentleman, sixty-four years of age, enchews newspapers. A few days ago he was in St. Louis, and was swindled out of one hundred and fifty dollars by one of the oldest confidence dodges on record. The latest civilized requisition from the Sandwich Islands is a call upon a Boston lithographer to furnish forty thousand illuminated marriage certificates. Who will get the contract for divorce blanks? Wm. Carter has harvested and sold his crop of wheat raised near Antioch. The crop sold for $60,000. It cost him $18,000 to plant and harvest it. The price is $42,000 in not bad for a yeas work.
