daughters, grown and married, living in
his house. BE always breakfasted alone,
unless he invited his eldest son to eat
with him. BE arose somewhat later than
the family, who had breakfasted before
him-the men, mean; for the women
and children are apart, and had very
merry time over their meals. When he
had breakfasted, he went out into his cor
ridor or piazza. There stood his sons
and his major domo and his vacqueros
hat in hand Then the horses, which
had been saddled since daylight, were
brought The oldest son held his faith
er's stirrup while he mounted, and when
he was seated in the saddle the rest fol-
lowed Then he gave to each his Or
ders for the day-to Martin the tannery,
to Antonio the horses, to Thomas
cheese, or the calves; and when at last
all this was received, always in silence,
he gave the word, and out into the plain
they rode as though shot from bolt.
The old man rode at the head; and as he
galloped he called in that low, soft
voice which they almost all have, "Pe-
dro, and Pedro drew up alongside; II
do not want that manda of horse ON the
hill yonder." Isl, Senior" says Pedro,
and gallops off. Antonio, these calves
should not be here; they must be nearer
the river" and so on, always in a gal
lop, seeing everything with his practiced
eye, and issuing his commands as he
rode. About four he returned to his
dinner, which his sons ate with him.
After dinner he sat in his corridor, made
and smoked paper cigars, and contem-
plated himself.
On Sundays and fast days, said my
friend, the family rode to church, all on
horseback graceful cavalcade, for the
women rode finely, and the horses, which
we Americans ignorantly despise, are
yet the best saddle horses in the world.
In this, by the way, every man who has
ridden them will agree. Then came the
gold discovery, and the American, and
the sudden and great wealth which
spoiled all this simple life. Then they
became too proud and too careless to
milk, and so now you find no milk on
the ranches. They could buy clothing
and all kinds of supplies, and so their
useful and ingenious industries perished.
They came to the towns, dressed in alb
surd gold and silver lace, and with gold
Gtirrups and gold-mounted saddles, and
wasted their money in gambling houses;
and so their business was neglected.
Finally they thought it genteel to ride
in carriages, and so they gave up the
most graceful and healthful exercise
which man OF woman can have. / still
remember my old friend Don Thomas
standing here, looking with silent dis
gust at his family climbing into cum
brous coach, and then turning to me
with the words, They are young and
may risk it, but for my part | am deter
mined never to hazard my life in one Of
those things while / have strength to sit
on horse back" | do not doubt it
was happy life they led-these old Cal
ifornians. But it did not belong to the
nineteenth century, and the railroad will,
in year or two, leave no vestige Of it
this side of the Mexican border.

Life ON AN oId californian Rancho.

From the California Cor. N. Y. Tribune.l
In San Diego county, / believe, it was
a custom in the summer to guard against
the approach of rattlesnakes by sur
rounding the couch with the horsehair
rope, which is used to stake out horse.
This, made very nicely of the names
and tails of horses, is very rough, the
ends of the hairs sticking out all over
it, and these, it is said, the snake dis
likes, as they probably irritate his skin,
and feeling them he turns aside. Life
on one of the old ranches was not SO
simple as we have been accustomed to
think. Various handicrafts had been
introduced by the priests, and the lndi-
ans, who were the mechanics, were en-
ployed, not only at the missions, but by
the more substantial raneheros. A gem
tlemRn at Los Angeles described to me
the life on one of the great estates in
that county, before the Americans
came" and | may add that different
persons, among them General Val
lego. have confirmed to me every
detail. They milked cows and made
cheese; they dressed and tanned
sheep and calf-skins for clothing; they
wove blanketsI they made wine; they
raised grain enough for their bread, and
the Indian women ground this on stones;
they preserved the hides Of the cattle for
the Boston ships; and at the San Fer
nando mission ] saw the huge stove and
cement tanks in which they melted down
and kept the talloW, which also was sold
to the Boston men. In those days, said
my friend, when l went out to see Don
-, he received me at the door; be
showed me my room, and, in a few min
utes, he came bearing in his own hands
basin Of water for my use. But be-
hind him came half a dozen servants. to

Lady Davies Recolloctions of Society,"
Ny grandmother and my aunt, Lady
Emilia Drummond, were one day In at
tendance upon Marie Antoiuette, being,
like the rest of the more demure mem
hers of the court, in open carriages.
But the queen was riding on donkey
as indeed we're various of her younger
favorites. Suddenly, however, the whole
cavalcade was stopped, for Marie Al
toinette's donkey, having felt a sudden
inclination to roll on the green turf, had
thrown its royal rider, and she. being
quite unhurt, remained seated on the
ground, laughing immoderately. q.
As soon, however, as she could COM
mand her countenance, she assumed a
mock gravity, and, without attempting
10 rise from her lowly position, COM
manded that the grand mistress OF the
ceremonies should at once be brought to
her side. Nobody could imagine what
her Majesty was about either to say or
do; but when the lady thus suddenly
summoned TO her presence stood, IN no

LOngfeIIOw Lost TO the Turf-The
Opinion of u Veteran HOrseman.

Wateringplace correspondents and
others who know little or nothing about
horses on the turf, have been writing
letters of late to- the provincial press,
stating that Longfellow was again all
right, and was taking his gallops as
usual, when, in fact, the horse is hope
lessly lame, and can never again appear
on the turf A correspondent of the
Spirit of the Times, well known as a
horseman of ability and experience,
whose judgment is entitled to great re-
spect, writes on this interesting subject
as follows:
/ have just returned from the course,
where / have been daily visitor since
the contest between Harry Bassett and
Longfellow. Since then / have seen
Longfellow at least twice a day, and
have frequently and carefully made ex-
aminations to ascertain the nature and
cause of his lameness, and have also
anxiously watched the progress of his
improvement, which, though somewhat
slow, is gradual.
he can now, yet not confidently, stand
for a short time upon his left fore-leg,
which is the seat Of the disaster. The
leg is bathed two or three times day
with cold water, and his journey to the

from the stable, too plainly indicates
the extent and severity of his injury. |

ough conviction that Longfellow is hope
lessly, irreyocably broken down." i

that two or three days before the race
he pulled up" lame after his exercise,
and that was not an unusual occurrence.
His ankle, which has heretofore fire.

Bile evidence Of weakness, is now COM
pletely disabled, and the suspensory
ligaments the all-important running
gear, the elastic springs which enable
the horse to extend himself and recover

Of the left fore foot, just above the coro-

the plate could have caused him any ma

element.
