"region of nature, which is the region
of Gods wonders" We had no idea
that that intolerable headache,
which drove us from the crowd, would
carry us through such scene OF beauty.
At our feet the little streamlet riffled
on; over our heads the sycamore trees
formed O canopy of green, through
which the birds, those sweet-voiced
choristers of the wildwood, sent up
their evening hymn.
OUR ATTENTION
Was often attracted by one of the most
diminutive species Of the feathered
kingdom we had ever seen. It was a
little brown bird, scarcely, il any,
larger than the common humming-
bird. The wild roses were in blossom
all around us, and one of the most
beautiful flowers we have seen in
Southern California is vine whose
blossoms closely resemble the orange
bloom. We gathered bouquet of
these beautiful and fragrant flowers to
carry home as memento of our pleas

we returned to the Double Cliff House,
expecting a warm reception in the
shape Of cup of tea, which we ex-
pected those "good girls" to make,
when we were met with q very cool
one, cold stove, and the information
that they were both Off riding with

Farewell to loves and love-lit waysl
Farewell, sweet, golden tropic days!
Good bye! go. Los Angeles
l kiss my palms TO thee,
And bend the suppliant knee.
I've gathered here q memory
That shall wed, nor be betrayed
A memory that will never fade.
Sun-lsnd! Song g-.andi Sweet city, mine
Where the peach and pepperwood, palm and
pine,
Are bound together by the trailing vine
throw you a kissl Let IL be a sign,
That love your walks and love your wine
Your honest men and maidens fine
Your moon-lit nights and your sun-llt days
And shall keep on loving always-always.
Having kissed my love by the open door,
go-as others have gone before
Gazing on orange fields far-famed,
Praising the city that the angels named.
I go; but not as the wind that kisses
The cheek OF the fair for far-off shore,
That steals in moment a thousand blisses
And whistles away to return no more.
Nor yet as the stream, that seems to sigh
"Farewell forever" in rushing by.
I go as the ship sails out to sea-
With her prov to the sun, and her keel may be
Over-laden-with love and a memory
To tumble and toss on the turbulent main
For a season or so, and return again.
That's ALL IT'S enough. What more can say;
Unless the rest of the love tale tell
How we've walked by night and talked by
day
But enough OF this. FAREWELL Farewell!
Hold, sweet city, till thctale Is told,
And then buy glory with your heaps OF gold.

This remarkable curative herbal
preparation is entirely unlike and greatly
superior to any other recuperant ever dis
covered.
1t strengthens the living vital nervauric
principle, and gives energy to the muscles,
nerves, filaments, mem branes, and all tissues
of the internal organs.
PIPIFAX-Keeps the skin In supple
condition; the cuticle plant; the pores open;
and brings the blood to the surface; thereby
enabling the system to counteract these bane.
full atmospheric influences.
PIPIFAX-Passes through the blood, car
res off by Precipitation and other excretions
the effete and injurious materials of the body.
1t is soothing, Alternative and deferative. Used
methodically and nationally, aided by suita-
BILE diet, 1t produces most important changes
in the system, contributing to the reconstruc-
tion of tissues, and removes vitiated matter
which has become not only useless but inju-
rious. No other article has ever been intro
duced which combines in such an extraordi-
nary degree the principles of an efficient anti
bilious agent and tonic. Try 1t and be con-

Fine Workmanship.

We saw yesterday at the carriage
manufactory of Page & Gravel, on Los
Angeles street, piece of workman
ship which we think cannot be ex-
celled in the country. 1t was single
top-buggy, manufactured for DR..
French, combining all Of the advan-
tages of strength, lightness and ele-
gance. The iron-work was manufac-
tured entirely by hand from steel and
nail-rod. The top was covered by the
finest of leather, and the trimming
and covering of the seat of light drab
cashmere, making q most pleasant
and tasty contrast. The back of the
seattle real novelty Of the vehicle
was composed of very flexi-
bic steel springs with proper
coverings and paddings, thus securing
the greatest ease and comfort to the
occupant. We understand that the
patent spring back belongs exclusively
to this firm. The work is all done
"upon honor" much after the fashion
of the "one-hoss shay" which might
wear out, but would never break down.
The cost of the buggy was five hundred
and fifty dollars.
Prof. A. H. Havell announces this

music.
The effort made to establish per-
manent literary society last Friday
evening was not so successful as antici-
pated. The failure is not attributa-
BILE to those who anticipated the or

the members of the former society. 1t
is now proposed to start a new club en-
tirely Independent of the old one, and
we trust that the idea may be success
fully carried out.

John O'Connell is resident of this

cumstances are not such as to cause
him any alarm as to obtaining means

resides in respectable. house at or near

chanced that this man married and be.
