The clear, shady streams are abundantly
stocked with the fnestupf mountain trout, CIV

extent in his e1hiliarating and exciting sport.
At this season duck shooting and trolling for
salmon afford sufficient amusement to those de-

Our climate can not be excelled The ther-
mometer which in the valleys has to be placed
in the shade in the summer, varies scarcely ten
degrees the whole year. To one not used to q
coast climate, however, the occasional winds
and fogs might seem Objectionable.
The ocean is what makes us feel ut home.
The broad and mighty Pacific stretching pen.
sivey far, far off, till it seems, in the hazy dis
tance, to blend with the azure sky, murmurs
ever its same sweet and familiar sound. Ever
and anon the white-winged messengers Of COM
merce, may be seen fitting to and fro over its
broad bosom; and again, the dark line of curl
ing smoke tells us of the passing steamer.
''There is pleasure in the painless woods;
There is rapture on the lonely shore;
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar
Local news is scarce. Both elections being
over, the politicians have become less numer-
Gus, and have probably hibernated to suck their
political paw for awhile. At the Judicial elec-
ton Mckee carried the county by small ma
jority.
The North Pacific Telegraph Company have
laid their wires to this place, and will in few
days put in the batteries. The line is being ex-
tended up the coast to Crescent City.

LA CALIroRNIA.-lhisis is the title Of a
new book that has just been published by
A. L. Bancroft & Co., of San Francisco
The book was written by the late Col. AL
bert 8. Evans, and is one of the most au-
lucrative and interesting accounts of Cali
f6rnia history and California life that has ev
er been published. 1t is beautifully bound
IN handsome pressed gilt cloth or sheep,
ana considering its intrinsic value is sold at
a very reasonable figure. 1t is book that
aside from its usefulness would be an orna-
ment to any family library. All should
have it. J. w. Finley is the agent for the
work in this county. and in due time will
give all call. For particulars see adver-
tisement in another column.

ABSURD.

The Republican press of the State arc
loudly advocating coalition Of the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans in the Legislature.
This proposition caps the climax. Of course
its absurdity will not entitle it to consider
alton from honest Democrats. Our faith in
unadultcrated Democr ICY has never been
shaken, and we have the utmost confidence
in those journals and individuals who still
adhere to the name, believing that as Demo
crats they are adbering to what they believe
to be for the best, and as such will unite en-
m.asse with the Independents when 'hey
shall get their eyes open and become con-
WINGED that the ends for which they are con-
tending can be- most speedily accompl shed
through the Independent organization. Ev-
cry live issue of Democracy is embodied in
the principles Of the Independent party. In
deed, this party is the Democrats natural
affinity if be is honest; if not, lie will find
his affinity in the Republican ranks. Dem
ecrats take to the Independent party as nat
uraE as duck to water, but for them to CO.
ale zee. with Mobiliers-we mean the honest
ones--wouid be as unnatural as for a hog tc
eat hay. We expect to see coalition Of
Democrats and Independents in the coming
Legislature, but of Democrats and Repub-
licans, never.
