"WHEN ARE YOU GOING HoME."-We
used to wonder to ourselves how many
times day this question was asked 1t
used to be very reasonable one, but in
these latter days it seems to have become
obsolete. People in California now begin
to think they are at home. Thousands
who now emigrate to this State come with
the exper rtation Of remaining for life, as
much so as they do when they settle in
Texas, Missouri, Iowa, or any other of
the Western States. The climate and
other advantages are two to one in our
favor. Here we have broad field for
the farmer, the mechanic and professional
man as well as the laborer. The time
has come when thousands answer to the
question:: "Never - California is my

The late constitution of that State pro.
hbits their coming into the State. In

islature has recently passed law which
provides that if "a negro goes into the,
State and remains there ten days with the
intention of residing, he shall be punished
for the first offense fifty dollars. II he re-
fuses, or is unable to pay the fine, the law
provides that he he taken up and sold for
