SACRAMENTO, April 20, 1872.
En-. News AS time hangs heavy
on my hands since my occupation as a
Lobbyist Ia gone, I take the liberty Of
trying to collect q few items and COM
msnt thereon for the entertainment Of
yourself and readers.
Sweet Nsrnal Repsso. u
Our city Is In . most lethargio state,
resting, I suppose after Its arduous la
bors, or rather It has relapsed into that
semi-conscious condition which Joe
Bailey would call It's "normal spear"
There seems to DO but few In town ;
but occasionally q stray Assemblyman
comes to confer with the Railroad
King, or get orders from him. The
Goat Island controversy has assumed
such large proportions that the King
finds he has stirred up a hornets nest
which Is making 1t very lively for him.
Most people think 1t Is just what he
intended, that he might brighten San
Francisco Into giving the railroad all.
it wanted.
stsek RevePishness.
Tho few who are interested In
Washoe mining stocks are wild with
Joy over the prospect Of sudden wealth,
or sick with disgust to think they sold
too soon. or did not buy. All seem to
think that J.!P. Jones Is doing it all,
aud they watch his movements with
the greatest anxiety. Eager Inquiries
as to when he'll be down constantly
sssail those who are supposed TO know.
Paradise.
We are having our East Park i'm
proved. 1t Is being handsomely laid
out and planted with beautiful shrub
bery, flowers and grass, so In a year
or so we will have a lovely place Of
resort, either for driving or promen-
AIDE. This is the Gully place I know Of
whore 1t will pay to keep q nice turn
out. One can ride and drive here with
comfort nearly all the year round.
In the Summer 1t reminds ME Of ua-
vana, for the days being too warm
they walt until evening (they are al
ways charming) when you will see
everything brilliant, with the beauti-
full carriages filled with Eaily dressed
ladies and happy children, chirping
away as merry as the little swallows
which are constantly fitting around
my window and prattllng their Joy to
each other as they build their homes
for their expected little ones.
Little WANDERING washoeites.
This mornings papers speak Of two
little children who, in some u~naccount-
able way, have strayed from Virginia
hero. l must 60 and see about them.
VIM. H. %rhornburg passed through
here yesterday, on his way to San
Francisco, looking As pleasant, happy
and handsome as usual-a little more
20, l think.
Travel hns fairly commenced, as the
long trains Of passenger cars both ways
attest.
Hetel. Theater and Psstsmco.
It Is in contemplation to build a
largo flrst-class hotel and theater on
X street. between Seventh and Eighth.
How soon 1t will Do commenced IS not
definitely known.
The Government will soon COM
mence to erect a postoflce on the pub
lie square On J street, between Ninth
and Tenth, bat 1t will probably take
several years to complete It, as those
works are usually constructed In such
q way as to cost the greatest possible
amount of money. a'
~ 'Fisrsi Delights.
The city and country is one'beauti-
full garden Of flowers. The streets are
FRAGRANT with their perfume, and every
house Is inclosed In a bower of bloom
Ing rose vines. As one strolls at even
lnhaling their odor, with the balmy
air of.Spring tanning his fevered brow,
fretted BY the anxietles and cares Of
life, and over all, the s~oftening rays of
the dreamy moon, he Is soothed into
The belief that the world Is not all bad,
as he bad nearly concluded. .i-.G
The Dolly Warden" Drcsses.n
The ladies are all crazy over the
"Dolly Vardens," which have reached
the supreme Of ugliness and bad taste.
They are emily Intended to wear In the
house, but some, with that indifference
to all rules Of taste, and that insane
desire for display which characterlzes
American women, have appeared on
tho street In them. May the fever be
as sliort-lived rs 1t Is violent.
D%IsEustisE Fashion.
Another fashion, to which I trust
all lovers Of cleanliness and good taste
must wish q speedy death, is the demi-
trains In the street-just long enough
to catch all the filth and stir up all the
dust. Before they have walked a block
their dress presents an indesoribable
appearance Of slovenly nastiness, dis
gustlng to every who has Z spark
OF cleanliness In their nature.
