TUSTIN CITY Is a lovely little village, just started on a little rise, in a grove three miles south-east of Orange, in a very fertile spot. Here, too, is an excellent society. This site was purchased by Mr. Tustin, in 1867, at $250 per acre. The best 3, 5, 10 and 20 acre blocks are now held at $100 per acre. The land here is very productive. Old Father Leyhi is here combining the dairy, fruit and farming interests very successfully. We present here some examples of the products of the soil as we got them from reliable men: 110 acres of barley here yielded 50 bushels to the acre; 90 acres of rye yielded 40 bushels to the acre. Seeding continued this season till the middle of March, with a certainty of crops. Mr. L. Robinson raised 180 bushels of wheat on three acres of land last year; 25 acres yielded 55 bushels to the acre. Alfalfa is here cut six to eight times, with a yield of two tons each, making 12 to 15 tons. SANTA ANA. Is another pretty village, about three miles distant from Orange and Tustin. It dates its age about four years back. Its location is delightful, soil rich and climate good. The average temperature for 1874 was 65 degrees. There A TREMENDOUS CITY. The growth of London in these days is something almost appalling. No such city ever existed in the world before. The wayfarer approaching it for the first time, "Who at night along the dusky highway. Near and near drawn. Be in heaven the light of London. Flaring like a dimary down." Can form no more adequate conception of its immensity than the finite mind can form of the vastness of infinity. Fancy a city which covers 700 square miles, and numbers 4,000,000 inhabitants. Fancy a city which contains more Jews than the whole of Palestine, more Roman Catholics than Rome, more Irish than Ireland more Scotchmen than Edinburgh. A city whose port contains every one thousand ships, and nine thousand sailors. In which a birth occurs every five minutes, and a death every eight minutes, throughout the year. In which 28 miles of new streets are opened annually, and 9,000 new houses are built every twelve months. A city in which the police register contains the names and descriptions of 120,000 criminals; which has 73 miles of high cliffs and gln places; which has 38,100 dwarfs; and which, though it number its churches by hundreds, would acquire nearly a thousand additional places of worship if the entire population was to be supplied. And when all these facts are clothed upon by the imagination, every faculty save that of education. SANTA ANA. Is another pretty village, about three miles distant from Orange and Tustin. It dates its age about four years back. Its location is delightful, soil rich and climate good. The average temperature for 1874 was 65 degrees. There are two flowing artesian wells. It has one hotel, four stores and a good school. Land here was worth five years ago, $8 to $10 per acre, and it now sells for $40 to $60. Good farming produces here 80 to 100 bushels of corn, 70 to 80 bushels of barley, and 40 to 50 bushels of rye to the acre. N. O. Stafford tested the raising of tobacco here last year with the following result: He planted 45 plants of Connecticut seed-leaf on the 15th of May. He cut twice and realized 55 pounds, worth 25 cents per pound, and $19 worth of seed, aggregating $32 85. The leaf was large, and of superior quality, and the stalks grew three to four inches in diameter. Just below this place is Gospel Swamp section, an exceedingly rich district. Like the Los Nietos valley, it is impossible to credit the statements of the settlers as to the production of crops, especially corn and pumpkins. As high as 140 bushels of corn have been produced, and 100 to 120 is often raised to the acre. This land is worth from $75 to $100 per acre. Below the Orange, Tustin and Santa Ana settlements, on the south-east lies the San Joaquin rancho, one of the most valuable tracts of land in the State. For all this section east of the Sante Ana there is an inlet, forming quite a little bay, at NEWPORT LANDING. Small vessels can enter with ease and some of the smaller coast line steamers. The McFadden Bros., of Santa Ana, eight miles distant, are building a steamer to ply between this port and San Francisco. They have a large lumber yard here, furnishing building materials for the region east of the Santa Ana river; and, truly, we know of no section of this magnificent country offering greater inducements to settlers, or with brighter prospects than this. WESTMINSTER COLONY, Six miles below Anaheim, and seven miles from the coast, is only 18 months old. It occupies a beautiful tract of rich land, and now numbers 150 families, one hotel, two stores, a fine hall, and a good school house with one hundred pupils. Intoxicating drinks are excluded from the settlement. The society is very select. Lands yield one hundred bushels of corn to the acre, frequently more. Artesian wells are a great success here at 60 to 100 feet. This tract was bought less than two years ago for $17 an acre, and lands now sell for $35 to $50.—Resources of California. TREES AND RAIN. In which a birth occurs every five minutes, and a death every eight minutes, throughout the year. In which 28 miles of new streets are opened annually, and 9,000 new houses are built every twelve months. A city in which the police register contains the names and descriptions of 120,000 criminals; which has 73 miles of road cliffs and gin places; which has 38,000 dumbards; and which, though it number its churches by hundreds, would require nearly a thousand additional places of worship if the entire population was to be supplied. And when all these facts are clothed upon by the imagination, every faculty, save that of memory, must utterly fail to present any truthful portrait of this amazing constitution of human life, and on industry, and wealth, and power, vice, and crime, and prosperity, and culture.—Sacramento Record. THE PRISMOIDAL. We do not know how we can better refer to Mr. Lord's advertisement than by publishing the following extract from the San Francisco Post: "The company incorporated to connect Los Angeles with East Los Angeles have concluded to adopt the one track, and contracts have been made for the building of five miles at once. In the meantime grading for the Sonoma road is going on, and the one-wheeled locomotive will be snorting between tide-water and the town of Sonoma by September 1st. We are anxious to see a road of this kind in actual operation, as it promises great advantages besides cheapness of construction and maintenance. On ordinary roads the greater the speed the greater the oscillation and the greater the strain of the wheels against the track, and consequently the greater the friction. But as may be seen in the case of a velocipede or top, the greater the speed the steadier the motion, and consequently the less the friction. And as on the one-track road the cars cannot run off the track, it would seem as if there was no limit to speed except the resistance of the air. If the one-track roads now being built shall do all that is expected of them, the transportation problem will, in a great measure be solved." In an account of the proceedings of the Pennsylvania Republican Convention, D. C. Forney says: "The next resolution of national importance was that on the third term, declaring the unalterable conviction of the people that it is antagonistic to the unwritten law of the Republic to elect any man to a third Presidential term. This resolution called out the most uproarious approval; cheer after cheer rang through the hall; from all sides of which McPherson was asked to repeat its reading, which he did, with marked significance and effect; three times each conclusion eliciting the same approval. I wish the President could have been here to look on this scene as I did. It did not contain a single mark of disrespect for the man; there was not a word of disapproval heard of his official acts. It was merely a TREES AND RAIN. The influence of trees upon rain and the general moisture of the atmosphere, which has been discussed of late, receives a strong illustration from the island of Santa Cruz, West Indies. A person a year or two since, who spent the months of February, March and April upon the island, says that when he was there twenty years ago, the island was a garden of freshness, beauty and fertility; woods covered the hills, trees were everywhere abundant, and rains were profuse and frequent. The memory of its loveliness called him back at the beginning of the year, when, to his astonishment, he found about one-third of the island, which is about twenty-five miles long, an utter desert. The forest and trees generally had been cut away, rainfalls had ceased, and a process of desiccation, beginning at one end of the land, had advanced gradually and irresistibly upon the island, until for seven miles it is dried and desolate as the sea-shore. Houses and beautiful plantations have been abandoned, and the people watch the advance of desolation, unable to resist it, and knowing for a certainty that the time when their own habitations, their gardens and fresh fields will become a part of the waste, is fast approaching. The whole island is doomed to become a desert. The inhabitants believe, and the opinion seems to be confirmed, that this sad result is owing to the destruction of the trees upon the island. A Lincoln, Neb., man, who transplanted to his farm a quantity of "thine grass" and from Kansas, last winter, found on a recent morning that his yard was swarming with grasshoppers hatched from eggs that had been concealed in the dead grass. The Detroit Tribune recently found itself called upon to make the following explanations: "Those of our readers who were surprised to read in our report of the Congregational Convention at Kalamazoo last week, that in some localities there 'was not shingles enough for two churches,' will get our correspondent's intentions and the truth of the story by correcting it by the insertion of the word 'support' in place of 'shingles.' The church at Lodi was printed as having been during the year 'afflicted with measles.' What the report said was, that the church at Lodi had been, during the year 'afflicted with divisions.' To the observant mind these errors of the compositor appear unaccountable. To those who have seen the manuscript from which these blunders were derived—a chirography as plain and legible as block letters two feet square—the errors were inexcusable." A correspondent informs the Freme Expeditor that over 130,000 sheep have already passed over the Freme data, and that there does not appear to be sufficient food in the mountains to sustain one-tenth of that number. A wag of a gourmand who had made himself ill by feeding on fish, said he embodied the trio of the fiery furnace, thus—shad-rack, me-sick, and abed-we-go.
