Those who come here, superficially glance at our county, and hastily form the conclusion that all our best lands are either out of the market, or held at prices that are beyond the reach of ordinary pursues; do neither themselves nor the locality justice. Some of our most beautiful semi-tropical homesteads were, a few years ago, a barren waste. West of Main street in this city, and south of Fourth could hardly boast a single homestead, a few years ago, that would attract the eye or inflame the desire of the casual visitor, and when we leave this city and go to the Fruit Belt, so properly called, we behold a whole series of magnificent estates that have been redeemed from a condition of nature within the past decade. Three years ago Westminster and other tracts of land in the southern part of the county were the scene of a sparse and scattered population, and now some of the most valuable homesteads in this section of the State are rising on them. Indeed,the settlement and improvement of that section of the county has been marvelous, and new localities are springing into flourishing existence so rapidly that the old settlers find it difficult to realize the old landmarks in the sudden changes.

General Stationery, School, Blank, and Law Books, and other tracts of land in the southern part of the county were the scene of a sparse and scattered population, and now some of the most valuable homesteads in this section of the State are rising on them. Indeed,the settlement and improvement of that section of the county has been marvelous,and new localities are springing into flourishing existence so rapidly that the old settlers find it difficult to realize the old landmarks in the sudden changes. Just look what the Orange Grove Association have done in less than two years on the rancho of San Pasqual. A wide expanse of commerical farm and grazing land has been turned into young and promising orchards and vineyards,and a whole bevy of the most beautiful homes are gradually emerging out of a range which was almost wholly devoted to cattle and sheep three seasons ago. Intelligently directed labor is reclaiming thousands of acres of land every year in this county from actual waste or from more ranges for cattle,and converting them into homesteads that will furnish their owners with a splendid subsistence. There is no lack of lands of this character. They are scattered all over the county,and it requires but the industry of an intelligent people to convert them into as beautiful and profitable places as any of those we now so greatly admire.The water resources of this county are not half understood.Their extent,bly the assistance of correct engineering,can be indefinitely increased.The entire plateau of lands between the mountains and the sea will yet be intersected by a system of water distribution which will supply every acre with adequate irrigation.There are thousands of places which can now,fork a very little expenditure of money,bely turned into successful vineyards and orange plantations.The Los Angeles of ten years hence will astonish those who believe that the Los Angeles of to-day presents any where near the limit of the area suited to this profitable branch of horticulture.The groves and vineyards of San Gabriel will be supplemented by thousands,equally beautiful and equally valuable,在 all parts of the county,and the multiplicity and generality of semi-tropical homesteads,with their flourishing groves and profitable returns,will come about as near rendering this section a paradise as it is possible for a paradise to exist on our planet.-Los Angeles Express.

Mr. Bate will hold in supreme contempt, if not in utter execration, during the rest of his life. In the recent Senatorial contest that resulted in the triumph of Andy Johnson, Mr. Bate on one ballot just lacked one vote of an election. And that one additional vote would have been forthcoming, had not one member, who intended to vote for him, been overcome by the excitement, and fainted away. Andy has always been the victim of accident. An accident made him President in 1865, and now another accident has made him Senator. And in many crises, political and otherwise, the strength of a Democrat has given way just at the critical moment. It is one of the traditions of the Mexican war that a Democratic General, afterward made President, minted away just on the eve of battle. The courage of the Democratic McClellan failed him just at the time when an advance on Richmond should have been ordered, after the battle of Malvern Hill. Another eminent Democratic General failed to come up at the critical time, and the second battle of Ball Run was lost. Democratic members of the Pennsylvania Legislature have occasionally failed the Democratic Senatorial candidate just when he needed one or two more votes to beat Cameron. Mr. Bate will have the consolation of knowing that his fate is not exceptional; he is not the first victim of Democratic weakness. We should suppose that he would take special delight as he may meet that fainting member during the years to come, in inquiring after his health, and in suggesting remedies for fainting spells. GAZETTE NO. 17 A New England Woman's Opinion of Southern California. A lady correspondent of the Los Angeles Herald thus recalls her impressions: Force of circumstances rendering a limited stay in California necessary, I left my New England home regretfully, having always regarded myself as permanent a fixture there as the hills themselves, and fully persuaded that nowhere, the wide world over, were so many of the blessings of life to be found centered in one place. That I should pine away with natalzin, I fully believed and rather wished, as it would prove conclusively my loyalty to my native State. My ideas of California, though not unfavorable on the whole, were clouded by excessive devotion to my own section. The first impressions of the country favored my former prejudice. The brown hills off the coast, seen from the billous vision of a sea-sick individual on board a crowded, comfortless steamer were not calculated to dispel, but rather confirm, any disagreeable opinion I had previously formed. And "the Winter of discontent!" was complete upon landing in a chilly, dense fog at Santa Barbarn. But "continual dropping will wear away a stone," and who could withstand the succession of beautiful sunny days, and clear. LEARN A TRADIE—I never look at my old steel composing rule that I do not bless myself that, while my strength lasts, I am not at the many of the world. If my pen is not wanted I can go back to the type case and be sure to find work; for I learned the printer's trade thoroughly—newspaper work, job work, book work and print work. I am glad I have a good trade. It is a rock upon which the possessor can stand firmly. There is health and vigor for both body and mind in an honest trade. It is the strongest and surest part of the self-made man. Go from the academy to the printing office, or the artisan's bench, or, if you please, to the farm—for, to be sure, farming is a trade, and a grand one at that. Lay thus a sure foundation, and after that branch off into whatever profession you please. You have heard, perhaps, of the clerk who had faithfully served Stephen Girard from boyhood to manhood. On the twenty-first anniversary of his birthday, he went to his master and told him his time was up, and he certainly expected important promotion in the merchant's service. But Stephen Girard said to him: "Very well. Now go and learn a trade." "What trade, sir?" "Good barrels and butts must be in demand while you live. Go and learn the cooper's trade; and when you have in the south were the scene of a severe population, the most valuable section of the State indeed, the settlement of that section was marvelous, and the springing into it so rapidly that it difficult to realize in the sudden what the Orange have done in less than a rancho of San Francisco of common land has been turnoverly orchards in whole bevy of homes are gradual orange which was used to cattle and sugar. Intelligent speculating thousands every year in this waste or from mere converting them will furnish their undid subsistence. Bands of this character all over the states but the induspeople to convert soil and profitable we now so greater resources of this understood. Their influence of correct enfeffinitely increase plateau of landsains and the sea land by a system of which will supply adequate irrigation. Of places which little expenditure is made into successful plantations. The years hence will believe that the day presents any sort of the area suited branch of horticulture and vineyards of supplemented by very beautiful and all parts of the multiplicity and genetical homesteads, shrinking groves and still come about as section a paradise to exist Angeles Express. A DREADFUL DENTIST.—The tale which comes from Warrentown, Virginia, is one extremely harrowing in some of its details and remarkable in some of its statements. It is a tale of the doings of dentist; how he grew into the affections of the populace; how he flourished like a green bay tree, and how he suddenly departed leaving behind him evidence that he was a gay deceiver. The base trifler with molars and incisors, it is asserted, went to Warrentown some time ago and advertised to take out a whole mouth-full of teeth for the small sum of $2, and to insert an elegant new set warranted never to ache, for $10, on six months credit. Opportunities for getting trust are rare in these hard times, and the people of Warrentown were charmed with this generous dentist. They came—the healthy and the halt, the lame and the blind—and teeth were removed by the peek. Warrentown soon contained a population of toothless ones and all were promised new sets of magnificent grinders within a period of a few FUL LUCK—There is Tennessee Legislature. Mr. Bate will contempt, if not in deriving the rest of his Senatorial contest to triumph of Andy on one ballot just an election. And the vote would have sound not one member to vote for him, by the excitement, that Andy has always of accident. An President in 1865, accident has made in many crises, wise, the strength given way just at it. It is one of the Mexican war that a final, afterward made away just on the one courage of the man failed him just in advance on Richbeen ordered, after Fern Hill. Another General failed to actual time, and the Ball Run was lost. Sayers of the Pennsylvania have occasionally little Senatorial can be needed one or two great Cameron. Mr. the consolation of state is not exception—the first victim of illness. We should would take especial meet that fainting years to come, in health, and in august for faluting spells. COURTSHIP OF SAVAGES. — Among the aboriginal blacks of Australia, courtship, as the precursor of marriage, was unknown. When a young warrior is desirous of procuring a wife, he generally obtains one by giving in exchange for her a sister or some other female relative of his own; but if there should happen to be no eligible damsel disengaged in the tribe to which he belongs, then he hovers around the encampment of some other blacks until he gets an opportunity of seizing one of their leuhras, whom perhaps he has seen and admired when attending one of the feasts of corroborics. His mode of paying his addresses is simple and efficacious. With a blow of a war club he stuns the object of his "affections," and as she recovers her senses, brings her home to his own gunyah in triumph. Another method with wife-stealers is to ascertain the camp fire beside which the girl whom he covets sleeps. When he gains the knowledge he requires, he encaps close to the camp on some dark, windy night, and stretching out his spear inserts its barbed point among her thick, flowing locks, turning it slowly around, some of her hair becomes entangled with it; then, with a sudden jerk, she is aroused from her slumber, and as her eyes open she feels the point of another weapon pressed against her throat. She neither faints nor screams. She knows well that the slightest attempt at escape or alarm will cause her instant death; so, like a sensible woman, she makes a virtue of necessity, and rising silently, she follows her captor to begin a life of toll, from which she is not released till death. A bill introduced in the Nevada Legislature to prohibit camels and doomedaries from running at large on the highways of the State, reminds us that those ships of the desert, imported six or eight years ago, have not disappeared entirely. They still live, but have failed to meet the expectations formed of them. They might do if they had no competitors save pack horses; but wagons can carry freight more cheaply, and the routes upon which they can be used with profit within the territory of the United States are few.—Alto.
