AND THE BARREN PLACES.


The San Francisco Dramatic Rerie@
expresses great confidence in the placer
mining sections Of California, in this,
that they will be %repopulated aud made
TO bloom and blossom as the rose, I'M
all that sort OF thing, next year, or the
year after at farthest, when the cereal
valleys Of California shall have been
accommodated" with sufficient Of in
habitants via Pacific Railroad. The
Reriev says that many q poor miner in
Californian the Southern mines es-
pecially-raises vegetables enough by
dint of an hours labor daily in the
growing and gathering seasons to sup.
ply himself and family with all the edi-
bles Of this class that they desire. And
it is Furthermore truly said that if q
section of rough, so-called WORKOUT
placer mining country" Of California
pattern, were taken up and set down
among the hills of New England it
would there be considered Il paradise Of
productiveness. Well, we come to the
point thus /: that by the time CALIFORNIA;
cereal plains and fruitful gulches are
properly filled with eager cultiva,ors
and within two years 10 the prophecy
limited-there will be, according to n
fair calculation per acre on tho
respective yields, twelve times the
present production Of grain, vege-
etables and fruits in that favored
State. This with m estimated
doubling of the population. Why then
10 Fitz Smyth Of the Alto contemplate
ing for an instant the possibility of u
famine within this decade? In the
| meantime it will be observed that IA
good potatoes as were ever cropped can
DO raised on the sayebrnsh land, abun'
dainty irrigated aud even alkali fats
are not im~placsbly insensible to acute
appeals for 4 few dinuers Of herbs.

stamping ground in California, which

Aud then he proceeded to swell into the

sound Of the pick was heard and the

some verses, which some one HpproPri.
ated)-where once there were many sn-
looms, and great pay, and hugo mirth,
aud lots of men and no IN excep,
squaws-but VIC could not stop to hear
his blank verse to the finis. There is
no doubt about the fact of early thrift,
