TIE Foor HILLs-A recent journey
through the foot hills Of Yuba Nevada
Placer, Ell Dorado and Sacramento counties
revealed to the writer of this a marvellous
change in the condition of these regions
Not many years ago they were Inhabited
entirely by restless gold hunters, and pre-
sented few evidences of permanent settle
ment One might travel for days without
seeing pleasant home like cottage, or a
conented looking family. Now the high
ways and by-ways are strung with beautiful
residences through whose emboweling vines
and blossoms women and children look at
the passenger, and around whose white walls
grow luxuriant gardens, fruitful orchards
and heavy laden vineyards, Choice spots of
land are enclosed, though many yet remain
unoccuped which will ult mately be titled by
a rural popuIace. Here and there the miner
in pursuit of his golden passion, has devas'a
ted temporarily some fair oasis, but in great
many more instances himself converted
barren spots into verdurous and prolific ones
making gardens where before was nought
but rock. The fruit and vegetable crop of
the foot hills has become very important
branch of our resources, supplying not only
local wants but coming into demand else
where. Extensive cultivation of the grape
will greatly enhance the productive value of
the foot hills and is a sure portion of their
destiny, as it is that of the mountains. Ly-
ING between Auburn and Grass Valley are
thousands of acres of excellent grape land,
waiting for capital to utilize them; and the
tract alluded to is but representative Of
thousands of acres more which are lying all
along the base Of the Sierra Nevada. The
only objection that can be urged to the foot
bill country is, that it is afflicted with epi-
demic complaints, such as intermittent fever
and fever fnd ague, during the warmest sea
son. But as these were unknown when the
country was first settled, the cause is doubt
less transitory, and in time will be fully re
moved, as it has been in other new countries
similarly afflicted.-San Juan Press.

The PfsroLs--T The gunsmith, who was on
the ground at the instance of Mr.. Broderick's
frieuds, to see that the pistols were loaded
properly, stated before the jury of inquest
that the pistol which Mr. Br0derick used was
lighter on the trigger than the one used bv
Terry. 1t is also said that Terry knew the
pistols used, and winning the choice, of course
selected the one heaviest on the trigger
Broderick had never seen the pistols before
The same man swears that he told one of the
seconds of Terry that the pistol which he
(the gunsmith) held. and which BrodericR
used, was lighter on the trigger than the
other. If this gunsmith tells the truth, ther
the fact is incOntrovertible that Mr.. Broder-
ick did rot have an equal show on the so
called field of honor" where he received his
death wound. If this gunsmith tells the
truth, then MIR. Broderick was deliberately
murdered. However. without abundant evi.
dence, we cannot credit the intimaton that
Judge Terry knew of this inequality in the
pistols, and Of the great advantage which
such inequality gave him over his opponent.
We believe him to have been totally ignor-
mt of the difference in the weapons. To be
lieve otherwise would argue him not only II
foul murderer but coward-Shdsta Comr.

CHEAP LIVING IN SAN FRANcisoo-

two potatoes, some egetables-generall cu.
eumbers or radishes-and a plate OF beet
steak roast, fish, or almost any kind of meat
which he may call for, all for one bit. Should
he choose to dispense with the coffee at any
meal, he can have a plate of pudding in the
place of it. all at the same price-one bit
The house is furnished with marble tables,
and the meals are given in good style-not
slovenly, rs many might suppose. | should
judge from appearances that about 1900 per-
sons obtain their daily meals there. Should
this be the case, and the proprietor make one
cent clear profit from each meal, he would
then be clearing $l5 per day; iftwo cents
per meal, then $50, and so on. SO you see
that large sales and small profits are frequent
ly preferable to the old fashioned way of do.

NOT QulrE DUEL-A duel nearly came
off ut Horse Shoe Bend, Sept. 10th. Two
individuals quarrelled over some trivial af
fair but being chivalrous. they determined
to arrange matters a la code Accordingly
they chose seconds, weapons, grounds, and
went into the minutiae of we'll regulated
and orthodox fight. They were to try to
pucker stopple each others carcasses with
six shooters, at the distance of I5 PAGES. and
in order that they might fully carry out
such virtuous intentions, they were to have
six shots each. Upon the arrival Of the par
ties on the ground, the principles didn't feel
half so sanguinary as they expected to. One
of them said he couldn't "shute a feller crit
ter" and besides he was too drunk. The
other swore he wouldn't tap a viii key ca. k
with bullet anyhow, and SO the matter end.
