not coadescontf to iook at uaKianti
as I passe I through it. I had been
there before, and ais at IJrouklyn, so
that place was put down ignomin
iou. lv as altogether too insignificant
for mr observation, and I buried my
self in a book, and, of course, knew
no more uatil we arrived at the Sin
Lorenzo Statbn.
Tho cars stopped bat fir a mo
ment. A man wa sitting on a idnce
waiting, and ia his hurry to jump to
the ground caught Lis heels iu the
fence and cani3 to grass, describing
aa elegant circle ai he fell. I didn't
laugh, dii I? Thea aa oil lady,
w ho had attracted my attention on
the train by her immense aaipo-io de
velopment, got off, and after guiug a
fev isteps, she seemed to miss fcorne
thiog, and t imed back U the traiti,
which hr.d now started, and ia a
wheezy treble fcenarued : "S.op the
train! Oil, Lord, stop the traia."
Alter several jerks, almost enough to
dislocate anyone's front teeth, the
train stopped, and she waddled up,
breathless, exclaiming; O'a, Lord !
Ob, dear, I've left one of my gloves;
why, no I tji'la't, cither ; here it is,
on my hand, for sure ; you can go
oa, conductor." The conductor did
so ; and the general laujh which en
sued put everybody in good humor,
including the proverbial baby.
After that we stopped at several
more stations, all about the sarqe in
appearance, smoky and disagreeable
looking, with dem,ot;:a; engines, each
with UV'ir one eye diabolically star
ing at oui; till unpleasant sensations
were experienced by me, at least.
Then iir a long distauce the cars
rattled and jolted on over the level
plait: through fields of grain extend
ing northward over tbe long, low
range of hills, and already turniug to
the yellow and brown that makes
them so admired by all travelers.
Peaceful little cottages nestle in
almost every flen, and impart a
itbiiitrbiauty to the eves of town -

wearv
Dorch
crowds of rosy children cluster at the;
gates, with cheeks like crimson ap
ples, and they wave their ha'3 as we
pass by, making a pleasing picture
for many a weary eye. At last we
left the level plains behind us, and
entered the hills on each side of Liv
ermore Pass.
Here many a lovely picture glided
iuto view, and faded past again, that
would have delighted tbe soul ol an
artist, .uv ambition as a writer is
sadly dampened when I would de
scribe them. I want to be a painter,
I was looking and enjoying to the
full a most lovely view, when we
went into the tnnnel with a eudden-
ne3? that almost took away my
breath. A chorus of feminine
screams came from a 'group of young
girls and men behind rue, and when
we emerged again much banter was
passed as to who it was that kissed
Mary.
After leaving Livermore Puss be
hind us, we descended into the San
Joaquin Yaliey. On each side of
the road are immense Gelds of grain
ready for the reaper, and swaying in
the gentle breeze like an evening sea,
with the track and glory of the set
ting sua, and scarcely rippling its
surface. Then we came to a bridge,
and the next moment were crossing
the river, which is said to be higher
there at this season than for many
years belore. The scenery on that
river is extremely beautiful, not
grand, but with a calm and serene
loveliness. The river is broad, and
looks in most places to be very shal
low, and all through it are inter
spersed tinv islands covered with a
dense growth of trees and shrubs,
the silver widows showing brightly
against the dai ker branches of the
white oak, which sei-ms to be abun
dant all along th iivcr, and far
handsomer trees than the live oak of
our lower c 'unties. Our next step
ping place was a. Lathrep, where
there was twenty minutes for din
ner. 1 had started without any
breakfast iu my hurry, but by this
time the feminine enemy sick bead
ache had overpowered me, and my
appeti e was non est. I could not
eat, but I sent in for a cup of coffee,
which tbe nrbane waiter charged
me t-o d. liars fur. I thought
that pretty high, in fac, the;
best for high I ever saw, and made
a few remonstrances, but be put them
all down with the dignified remark:
"Them's our charges, ma'am, and
we never go back on them " I paid
it, but under a mental rarotest, white
a young man, an invalid, swore au
dibly, and forcibly, too, at the charge
of five dollars for a bowl of oyster
soup and s pieoe of jelly cake.
Lathrop la a very good place to
eat your dinner at, but you should
take it with you Another long ride,
made exceedingly refreshing by tbo
presence of a number of Chinamen,
who were beiog transported from one
station of labor to another (in a pass
enger car), and tbe sooty smoke from
the locomotive, and we arrived at
Stockton, where we -.-banged cara for
Milton. I only stopped long enough
to see a poor specimen of humanity,
the light of whose life bad gone
out forever, leaving bis future exist
ance on earth one rayiess blank, re
moved to. the mad houe at Stockton.

opolis my head ached so iotoleraHly
that 1 lay back ami gave myself np
tamely to any extra bumps tht I
might receive, ami fell asloep, and
when I woke I fouud my bead re
posing on tbe broad shoulder of in
old gentleman who was telling th?
others of how he had his iskoli crack
ed once, and some way, mistily, I
thought really it was my hesd ta-at
bad beea broken, and that I was to
be buried as s ion a they reached
1 Murphy's. Finally I recovered uf-
hcjentlT to be-in io notice my sur-
rounding agiiu, aa I ti look at the
towa whijh bore that high-soaaJing
name, Copperopolis. So it is. No
other. came would have suited it.
Ao trees, no suruus, no green grass;
nothing but thatoarrea, brazen roa-t-ed
look, that mada ma think of Cole
riuge s "Ail in a not aim copoer
sky." And repeated tee words over
and over until we reached the foot
of the mounlaiu aa 1 where the piue
tree begins its .rein. We rode
along up tbe mountain, and every
where rocks and trees seemed to vary
with each ascent. jVirst there were
white oak, thea laurel, thea cotton
wood, aad then piue trees for a
background, and the fimou3 maa
zanita bushes ia the foreground,
while the buckeye trees, with their
long, white plumes. f!l up the inter
vening space with a beautiful con
trast I do not propose to he a ge
ologist, and, therefore, cannot dis
course learnedly on the subject of the
peculiar formations of the roeks and
ledges, their flips and spurs and an
gles, and all that, but 1 could not
help noticing their peculiarities.
At last all view of ths open coun
try was excluded, and I began to re
alize that, after many years of fruit
less expectation, I was entering the
enchanted regions where the Gold
King reigns. The road is a stood
one, and the grades all easy so far,
while the successive views brought
to sight are like a dream of Paradise.
Slopiog hills are covered with grape
vines in many places, while every
little bou.e is almost covered with
rose bushes in full bloom. We soon
began to meet with evidences of the
character of the country in the many
sluice boxes ami little runs which
conveyed wi-t-r t many mines,
which, however, c:e not in s!i'.
The trees grew larger as we ad
vanced, aud the mountains each side
the road rose more abruptly and
were Oivered more closely with tim
her. Sby rquirrels darted ir. and out
of the bushes ; croonin quail scutte-r-
ed along iu nnder the shrubs, and
some b:rds which were invisible
made tbe air thrill with music.
Oa the sides i f the bills, near to
tbeluttom, now began to be seen
rocks standing in tlaating positions
and looking like gravestones in a de
serted church yard, all so uniform in
shape and td'uiti n. It looked t . be
slate, but I heard ooa man say it was
limestone ; at any rate, it made a
desolate spectacle, for wherever they
stood no trees cast their shade.
Presently we came in sight of a ti
ny lake oi the deepest blue color im
aginable. I never saw even the sea
look so blue, and it is actually worth
tbe whole fatigue of tbe trip to mere
ly behold that lake in its beautiful
contrast ta the brown and golden
hills circling it about. - -
Our next rematkable sight (to all
of as), was a large water-wheel turn
ing around and lif.ing its heavy bur
den of reeky weal.h.
Now and then we would meet a
large wagon loaded with "shakes,
long shingles, and siding, coming
down from the mountain manufacto
ries, and" oecatdonally, miners with
their bronzed, good-natured faces,
and their pants showing innuraera
able patches sewed oa nrtis ically
with twine. If I ever marry ia my
life it shall be a miner, so that I shall
never have to mend pants ; they can
'do that tbcniavlves. Dut I'm ia no
Lurry.

A correspondent writing from Par

of gossip has recently interested the
comiuitiity respecting one of the stard
of the lyric firmament. A week or
two agi, ju.it before New Year's, in
fact, a superb necklace, composed ot
threo rws of very largoand perfect
pear's, fastened with a clasp formed
of a single sapphire set in diamonds,
wa3 offered for sale at the Hotel
Duaot. It was on exhibition for
soma days, and crowds cf people
went to see it, attracted by the an
nouncement that it had originally
cost :?f,0,00:). When the day ol sale
arrived no one would bid anything
like the price at which it was held,
namely, ir.,000, and it was conse
quently withdrawn. It now leaksout
that this splendid ornament was the
prope-ty of Adelina Patti. Hy the
term of the deed of separation she
was obliged to uivide ail her proper

half the value cf fcer jewels that she
did not wish to have sold. When this
necklace was valued the Marquis de
Caux rtfused to accept the estimate
of the expert, anil forced Mme. Patti
to oiler ic at public sale. The result
of the experiment will probably make

The Consul at Florence send to
the I'epartment of State, Wa.sbin
ton, an interesting sketch of the use
and working of the government loan
institutions (Monte de Pieta)of 'taly.
First introduced by Hernardo Ii
Feitri, toward the close cfthe Fifteenth
century, for the relief ot tte indi
gent agaiast Hebrew usury, it achiev
ed success, and the money-lending
Jews were banished from Florence.
The first establishment started
with a capital of 2S01, which increas

bounty to some $JS,0Ui) in 15:;i).
Profits ia excess of expenses were di
vided among the pledgers, or distri
buted to the city poor. For four
centuries, through political and social
changes of Italy, the institution has
prospered and enlarged its work of
aiding the poor, but not enriching
itself at their expense.
On the 1-t of January, lTC, tbe
operations t f the Monte de Pieta, of
rioei-uee, weru greatly enlarged by
the opening of a new edifice, efpectnl
ly oiid com plot t ley adapted for the
recfpt'iiu, storage and iu!etl pledges.

The institution is of great utility to
all classes; even the higher social
classes resort to it without hesitancy
for relief from temporary embarass
ment, but the indigent are most e.-pe
cially benefited, the low charges oa
their pledges not being enough to
def ay een working expenses, in
marked contrast to the exorbitant
profit of unscrupulous private pawn
brokers. Garibaldi, the great Italian patriot
and liberator, is bright and healthy,
and threatens to cutlive the Pope,
whose temporal power he did so much
to curtail.
