[From the Los Angeles Express.] There are two classes of correspondents who come from the East to California. One takes a sanguine view of everything. They enthuse over our grand, gold-ribbed mountains, which, in the daily progress of the sun, reflect all the tints of the Kaleidoscope, and which lift their "awful forms" almost to the ampyream. The gentle and variegated beauty of our valleys also attracts them, and their inquiries invariably elicit facts which establish the fruitfulness of the soil, and the profits attending agriculture and horticulture. On the other hand, there is another class who seem to come here to do nothing but snarl. They have established some absurd and impossible standard of perfection in California, and, hot finding it realized, they vent their spleen in an Eastern correspondence. Now, the fact is that, in nine cases out of ten, the disagreeable correspondent never really sees the country he goes over. We don't believe that one man out of twenty of those who have visited our county during the last two years has seen either the Santa Anita Ranch or Anaheim. Anaheim is, perhaps, the best illustration which could be obtained of what may be done in California. The town is about seventeen years old. It is to our minds, one of the prettiest TENNYSON ON THE GRASSHOOP. If the people of Kansas and Missouri were readers of Tennyson's poems, and the poet should visit the United States at this present season, the fate of Orpheus would be nothing to him; should he fall into their hands. For an evil day the infiltrated mind indulged an ode—an elegant ody, so to speed upon that source of the Western grain field, squash orchard, and pungkin vineyard, the thrive desirable grasshopper. In this most rich and impious effort the abominable land is addressed, in terms of gregorian adulation, as "voice of the summer wind" and "joy of the summer plain," and after ransacking the dictionary for laudatory spithets the wretched man concludes with this mandolin ball atrocious sentiment: "What hast thou to do with evil? Shooting, singing, ever springing In and out the emerald glooms. Ever leaping, ever shagging. Lighting on the golden blooms." If Alfred Tennyson should encounter a Missouri farmer while he is singing that execrable trash, it is possible that he will enjoy the novel experience of witnessing a "golden bloom!" in the form of stars dancing before his astonished organs of vision, while the said organs will be very apt to take up on themselves rapidly thereafter as "emerald gloom" wholly foreign to his previous conceptions. GRANT ON THE THIRD TERM. Now, the fact is that, in nine cases out of ten, the disagreeable correspondent never really sees the country he goes over. We don't believe that one man out of twenty of those who have visited our county during the last two years has seen either the Santa Anita Ranch or Anaheim. Anaheim is, perhaps, the best illustration which could be obtained of what may be done in California. The town is about seventeen years old. It is, to our minds, one of the prettiest places in the world, and if not so now, will inevitably rank as a veritable little Paradise in ten years from today. There are hundreds of places East, of five times the size of Anaheim, which have not a title of the beauty and elaborate ornamentation of this unique spot. We know of no place East to which we could fitly compare it, because no place there, that we know of, has grown half as fast, or is anything like as pretty. Well, all this accomplished and projected beauty is the result of just seventeen years work, on very unpromising materials. The interminable succession of trim and regularly laid out vineyards, the avenues of Lombardy Poplars and splendid Pepper trees, with an orange and lemon grove on a small scale gleaning here and there; the trailing luxuriance and brightness of the Anaheim parterres in which every flower known to the botanist, almost, is represented, the tasteful, and often elegant cottages scattered on every side, with the hedges of willow and waving fields of alfalfa, make Anaheim to us a simply exquisite picture. Yet it is just as well to whisper it in the Eastern Gath or Askelon that the site of Anaheim was, seventeen years ago, a mere cactus patch, which grew on a soil that to the casual visitor, would appear to be absolutely irreclaimable. There is a belt of the same kind of country, of about a mile or two in width, which the visitor may still cross in going to the foot hills. Energy and industry have done the whole thing, and will do it again whenever tried. There are valuations of millions to-day in Anaheim, and its people are on the highway to wealth—a competency they have had for years. It should always be borne in mind that this Anaheim colony was composed of poor men, and that, in the first year, their money all ran out. They struggled along with the indomitable perseverance of their German nation until success rewarded their efforts. Outside of manufacturing towns East, there is no spot of five times the size of Anaheim that can show half her accumulated wealth. This fact tells poor men, who will associate in colonies, what may be done, and shows how false are the charges of the difficulty of making a living in California. PROPAGATORS OF DISEASE. The Pall Mall Gazette says: "Among the many agents for the spread of infectious diseases are, it seems, our domestic pets. For the propagation of a If Alfred Tennyson should encounter a Missouri farmer while he is singing that execrable trash, it is possible that he will enjoy the novel experience of witnessing a "golden bloom" in the form of stars dancing before his astonished organs of vision, while the said organs will be very apt to take up on themselves rapidly thereafter an "emerald gloom" wholly foreign to his previous conceptions. GRANT ON THE THIRD TERM. WASHINGTON, May 30. President Grant has written a letter to Gen. Harry White, President of the recent Pennsylvania Republican State Convention, defining his position on the Third Term question. He says he considered it beneath his dignity to answer the question until presented by an authority competent to nominate. He never sought the nomination for either first or second term, but accepted being led to believe that it was for the public interest. He does not want the Third Term any more than the first. He wouldn't write or utter a word to change the will of the people. He considers that the question of a Third Term can only come up fairly in the shape of a proposition to amend the constitution. Until then people cannot be restricted in their choice. It may happen in the future that to change the Executive because he has been eight years in office would prove unfortunate if not disastrous. He is not and never has been a candidate for re-nomination, and would not accept the nomination if offered, unless it came under such circumstances as to make it his imperative duty. The circumstances are not likely to arise. He concludes by congratulating the convention on the harmony which prevailed and the excellent ticket nominated, with hopes for its success. Since the bell of Independence Hall was cracked, it has several times been tinkered at in the effort to make it sonorous once more. At one time the seam was filled, we think, with silver, or an amalgam of silver; but the sound would not come back. They then undertook to ream out the crack, causing it to present a less "sharp and rugged edge," on the singular theory, perhaps, that it could be made to ring like the little globular aleigh bells that tinkle, though they have an opening to let the sound out. But the result was very naturally, by no means successful; it being clear enough beforehand, one would say, that the vibrations in the metal, when struck, would conflict with the crack and spoil the hoped for arrangement. The findings of metal that were bored in this process were made into little bells, as revolutionary relics, Henry Clay, we believe, receiving the first of these prized mementoes. Some people have also been guilty as the bell shows, of clipping and splintering from the rim as relics. We have not much faith that the bell will be restored to its old resonance, but we should be very glad to hear that there was a prospect of doing so by new pro- PROPAGATORS OF DISEASE. The Pall Mall Gazette says: "Among the many agents for the spread of infectious diseases are, it seems, our domestic pets. For the propagation of a fever, a dog is sometimes as bad, if not worse, than a drain, and a case is referred to in the Sanitary Record, in which scarlet fever was carried from one child to another by a favorite retriever. The dog had been reared in a house where scarlatina prevailed, and was subsequently given to a friend of the family. Shortly after one of the children in the dog's new home was attacked with malignant scarlatina and died. Disinfectants were used plentifully, and every precaution taken to prevent a recurrence of the malady, but in two months' time a second child took the same disease, in its worst form, and died. As the dog had been the constant companion and play-fellow of these children, its woolly coat, it is alleged, became so charged with contagious matter as to render it a source of disease and death. Although it is fair to the dog to admit that the children may have caught the fever from other sources than his woolly coat, yet there is reason to fear that both dogs and cats, especially the latter, do occasionally assist in the circulation of infectious illness, and where fever prevails the sooner they are lodged out of the house the better. They are, however, probably not more dangerous in this respect than books. No one who takes up a book from a library ever troubles himself or herself as to the antecedents of the volume; it may have just left the hands of a fever patient." Lieutenant Clem, U. S. A., once known as the "Little Drummer Boy of Chickamauga," was married on Monday at Baltimore to Miss Annalia, daughter of General Pitch, commandant at Fort McHenry. Pope Plus IX celebrated, on May 13, his eighty-third birthday, and if he lives until the 17th of next June, he will have completed the twenty-ninth year of his pontificate. Other Popes have lived to a greater age than the present head of the Catholic Church, twelve of them having reached 85, but the number of years of his pontificate surpasses that of any of his predecessors, even that of St. Peter, to whom history assigns twenty-five years' rule of the Church. The present Pope was born May 13, 1792, received holy orders in 1818, was made an Archbishop in 1827 and a Cardinal in 1840, and on June 16, 1846, after the death of Gregor XVI, he was chosen Pope, being proclaimed the next day. There were then in the Sacred College sixty-one Cardinals, only eight of whom are now living, and but one of them, the Archbishop of Fermo, is older than the Pope, he being four weeks the senior Plus IX, during his reign, has created 90 Cardinals, of whom 50 have since died, and the College now numbers 57. The Healdsburg Flag tells of two redwood trees felled near Guernville recently by Murphy Bros., choppers, one of which was 12 feet through, 54 feet high, and produced $800 worth of lumber; the other was 17 feet through and produced 60,000 feet of lumber, worth $1,000. London, May 28—Advises are received of a series of terrible earthquakes early in the present month in Asia Minor. Several hundred homes were destroyed; nearly two hundred people killed and several hundred injured.
