Hillside Lands.

1t is strange how slow the people are
finding the best and most profitable
lands in Southern California. Nature
has pointed them out with an uner-
ring accuracy not to be mistaken, and
every development that has been made
in that direction proves cOnclusively
that the indications pointed out by
Nature are infallible. 1t is a conceded
fact that the most valuable and profit
able lands in this country are such as
will produce good crops every year
without irrigation. Such land is con-
sidered worth double as much as the
best lands we have, which requires ir-
rigating. There is a district in Ell
Monte. one in Los Nietos, La Ballona,
Tustin and several other places in the
valley where such lands may be found,
and everybody wants them. These
lands are readily detected by the tim
ber and green shrubbery growing on
them. These signs are infallible.
Every man who cuts away timber or
grubs up green shrubbery to plant his
crop in Southern California is sure to
be rewarded with rich harvest with
out the trouble and expense of irriga-
ton. Everybody knows this to be the
case in the valley lands, but very few
have discovered that the same rule
holds good on the hillsides and in the
mountains, yet in every instance where
it has been tested it has been success
full. After what we have witnessed
with our own eyes, we do
nA 70 f<~ kha% h.
brushy mountain sides are the
very best lands we have on the Pacific
coast. A few days ago we visited
Judge Lindley's beautiful mountain
home = Monte Vista "a few miles
West of this city. Among the party
that went with us was our old engi-
neer, George Hansen, whose business
it was to determine the cost of piping
water down the cafIon to the farm on
the mountain side. After looking at
the growing crop, turning up the
loose, damp soil, out of which every
thing was growing luxuriantly, Mr..
Hansen inquired of the Judge what
he wanted to bring water on that soil
for! The whole party decided that if
one hundred inches of water could be
put on the land for 500 it would be a
useless expenditure. On that farm
there are near two hundred acres of
the richest land we ever saw-as loose
as an ash-bank and moist to the sur
face-upon which there is never any
frost, capable of producing the year
round anything that may be planted
on it. The figs are nearly ripe, toma-
toes grown, potatoes by the wagon
load ready for market, water-melOns,
cucumbers, squashes, indeed every
thing, growing on a huge scale. Corn
planted the 7th of March now in silk.
We cannot er-estimate such land.
One of the grandest views we ever
had in California we had while stand
ing at the Judges house.

The French Picnic.

The enthusiasm of our French citi-
zens and their friends was at the
highest pitch on Sunday. The Arroyo
Seco was patronized largely by all ma
tionalities, desiring to contribute their
mite to the French Benevolent Soci-
ETY.. The national characteristics of
the Frenchman were shown in his de-
votion to the light gaiety and healthy
enjoyments of the day. His volatil-
ity and buoyancy were as noticeable
on Sunday as they have been mani
tested in the Fatherland, in the regen-
Grafton of the nation after the over
whelming of the Empire. 1t was
remarkably pleasant affair, showing
that the French Benevolent Society
deserve their popularity and will long
retain the unbounded affection of all
nationalities for their hospitality and
works of charity.

Don Domingo Pujol and Dan. b.
Nichols, Esq, are in town. The first
is on his way to visit his ranch, Teme-
cula, and the second came to attend
the marriage of his sister, Miss Ruby
Nichols, with Mr.. John Carlin, which
took place last Thursday.
Some evil-minded persons are fond
of playing practical jokes at the ex-
pense of other peoples property. Last
Monday night two horses were stolen
from the stable of Don Rosario Do
minguez, and Wednesday night Don
Nicolas Quirola had the misfortune to
+ find that three of his valuable horses
were spirited away, besides two others
from a neighbor whose name we could
not ascertain. What with fires, rob-
berries, burglaries, &C., Los Angeles
will not long enjoy it's credit of the
"'city of angels"
The Sister Superior of the Sisters of
Charity arrived last Wednesday on
the Orizaba from New York. She is
accompanied by Sister Rosana, well
known and esteemed in this city.
Don Jose Ignacio del Vale, of the

Miguel Aguirre, of San Diego, are in
town. The former is attending to bus
mess in the U. S. Land Office, con-
nected with a suit instituted by T..
Wallace Moore to eject settlers from
the Sespe ranch, Mr.. del Vale being
one of those settlers. The latter comes
to Los Angeles for medical assistance.
Don Luis A. Chavez, member of the
Mexican Congress, was assassinated

Mexico.
A very enjoyable reunion took place
last Saturday night at Mr.. Teran's
hall, in upper Main street, for which
tickets of invitation were issued.
Dancing was kept up until morning,
and we are told the supper was worthy
of King Kalakaua.
The Spanish-American Mutual Be-
nevolent Society has been organized

Laeken's Park had the illusion that
her beloved. husband still lived. Her
attendants maintained this illusion to
diminish as much as possible her mis-
fortune, and at times had to feign
news from the prison in which she
imagined Macmillan confined. I'M
fortunately, few days ago newspa-
per was inadvertently left in the Prin-
cess way in which she read a telegram
announcing the Inauguration by the
Emperor of Austria of the monument
erected in Trieste to the memory of his
unfortunate brother, and the attack
which the Empress suffered was so ter
rible that her medical attendants des-
pair of saving her life.o

Letters from the East.

Out of large number of communi-
cations we have selected the follow
ing, to show the estimate in which
Los Angeles is held by intending inn
migrants:
EDITOR HERALD: am inclined to
move to California to reside. l have
read newspapers, perused NordhOff,
and talked to many who claimed to
be familiar with your State without
obtaining any Very valuable infOrma-
ton. l recently came across one of
your pamphlets describing your coun-
ty, and from that have gained more
information than from all other sources
comDlneu. FROM youi picture of the
country, which judge is a fair one,
am inclined to like your part of tile
State above all Others. If your paper
is as ably edited and gotten up as the
little pamphlet l speak of, l think by
perusing its columns few months l
shall be able to form quite a correct
and proper estimate of your city and
county. Statistics are more convinc-
ing to strangers than mere assertions.
Please send me copy of your Weekly
