States for enlistment, was asked if he could
sleep on the "point of bayonet," when he

it, as he had often slept on pint of whis-

The following is fair representation
somewhat enlarged, of the "big talk"
about the agricultural productions of the
Pacific coast which one hears in those parts.
Two weeks agoI started ON visit to
the Yo Semitic Valley. / arrived at the
wharf moment too late to get on board;
and, instead of waiting until next day,
determined to go to Stockton on horseback.
/ accordingly crossed the bay at Oakland,
or, as it is better known, Little Pedling-
ton" procured horse and rode over to the
Livermore Valley, where / staid all night
with a rancher, who was known in the val
ley as "Clamps." They called him that
because he got rich by holding ON to his
money with degree of fortitude not uni
versal in the country. AS supper time
approached, Clamp asked if would like
some eggs, and how preferred it-hard or
soft, boiled or fried. told him would
like some eggs, and that it would suit me
best to have them soft boiled.
In a few moments there came Clamps
and his wife, rolling an egg the size of a
flour barrel, which they boiled in short
time in large cauldron, and then set it up
on one end by the madam's chair at the
table. A hole was made in the top of the
shell, and the egg was dipped out with a
long handled ladle. was astonished at
the size of the egg, and observed that his
hens must be enormously large. "By no
means," he replied. "You will not be so
much surprised when tell you that one
hen did not lay this egg alone ; it took sew
en- or eight hens almost week to lay it.
1t was a joint-stock production of the
chickens; but still it is better than the in
dividual responsibility PLAN"
At breakfast the next morning we had
more egg, and then went on the road to
Stockton. / reached San Joaquin river at
noon, and was ferried over in an unique
looking craft. While the ferryman was
tugging silently at his oars, inquired
whether the ferry was profitable.

"Growed in that pumpkin patch ON

pumpkin shell cut in two. That patch is
where it growed."
"Where, over by that barn ?'' l ex-
claimed.
"That amt no barn." ne answered,
"unless you choose to call it so. That's

the arts, nickel is rapidly growing into

as it is much cheaper than silver it will
