cinity is all that could he desired by
even the most delicate Invalid. The
bright, balmy weather in mid winter
gives one from the other side of the
continent strange, bewildered feel
ing, almost indiscribable. December,
usually rough month i'm the East,
here is mild as spring. Scarcely a
day in that month but the sun shines
in all its splendor. The most delicate
flowers, such as the geranium, helio-
trope, tube rose and japonica grow out
OF doors i'm mid-winter, which makes
one think of having slept through the
proper season of storm and SHOWS and
bitter biting winds, and of coming
out on the world on brilliant May
morning to look at the soft
blue skies. January and February
follow in like manner, save an
occasional rain storm which lasts
not longer than three ora four
days. The grand California flower
show is now at its height. Anything
more gorgeous or beautiful is not to be
found anywhere. The hills, plains
and valleys are covered with wild
flowers which mingle an infinite va
riety of colors. The most conspicuous
of all flowers is the poppy; acre after
acre and even for many miles they lift
their golden heads to the radiant SUM-
shine and at eve 60 to sleep with the
departing sun. Cool, dewy moOnshine
is not to their taste. The inhabitants
of Los Angeles number twelve thous-
and, with the tide of emigration now
drifting in from all parts OF the conti-
nent and with the numerous places of
surrounding country tributary to her,
she is destined to he a large city, and
at present is growing more rapidly
than any other i'm the State. Over
four hundred buildings have been
erected within the last year and at
present the hammer and saw is heard
In all directions, which mark the line
of Improvements. The surrounding
country is an agricultural and fruit
growing one. The valley extends
sixty miles East, opening into Ari.
zOna through the San Gorgonio Pass,
with an average width of fifteen miles.
On the North the Sierra Nevadas'
deep, dark caffons and .craggy peaks
of stupendOus size loom up to heights
from four to eight thousand feet. Some
of the peaks are covered with snow
during Winter, the valley beneath
green with all kinds of vegetation,
birds singing, the atmosphere fragrant
with orange blossoms and all the semi
tropical flowers, forming bridal veil
reaching from the snow line to the
soft, genial cline of the semi-tropics.
Fruits of all kinds grow in this valley.
The orange, lemon, lime, fig and al
mOnd are cultivated to a great extent.
All of the smaller fruits are grown
also. California is truly the land of
gold. Specie is the only currency used
and greenbacks are bought and sold
like wheat by bankers and brokers. 1t
seems strange to Eastern people to
handle the hard money at first, but
they gradually get accustomed to it.

the whole population are travelling on
ice. If they see the face of the earth
by the lst of May, they are in luck.
Talk abont Los Angeles weather be-
ing "ekal to Shakawgow Dry up!
This is truly uncommon weather for
Los Angeles, but when we compare it
with anything on the other side of
the continent, it looks like paradise.
Not to mention that part of the coun-
try which is ice bound half the year,
we will draw the comparison between
this and the best they have over there
we begin with Texas. In that
State the Summers are intensely
hot, followed by u score OF
" Northers during the Winter,
that drives even the buffalo into the
swamps for protection, compared with
which the wind we had here the other
day is but a light Summer breeze. In
Louisiana and Florida they are ex-
empt from these severe NOrthers in
the Winter, but the thunder storms of
Summer and miasmatic and infectious
diseases that infest the low lands and
sea shore, together with the sweltering
heat of Summer, is far more disagree
able than little frost. In passing
higher up the country, through Ala
bama, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri,
Pennsylvania and New York, in addi-.
ton to frost and snow we encounter
storms, tornadoes, lightning, sun
stroke, freshets and ice gorges. There
is no sense in growing about such
things. The best philosophy and
purest religion is manifested by max
ing the best of what we have. There
is no country OH this old sin-scathed
earth that is perfectly congenial to the
wants of man. This is as near 1t as
any OH the globe, Notwithstanding we
have little cold snap now and then.
Suppose it had been great deal worse
and our crops had all been cut of. 1t
is just what happens in all countries
occasionally. and those who are most
dissatisfied with such things and try
most to avoid them generally fare the
worst. We know several gentlemen
who became disgusted because of one
dry season in the State they lived in.
They sold out and moved to the ad-
joining State; and the following year
there was drought in the State they
moved to, and a fine season in the one
they left. If you are satisfied with the
country generally, cease your growl-
ing about these little eccentricities of
weather

BOss Tweed.

NEW YORK, April 8th.-The recent
pardon from the State Prison of Inger-
soil, of the Tweed ring, has revived
the interest in that topic to such an
extent that 1t almost overshadows the
Beecher-Tilton trial. The canal-ring
exposures affidavits, showing the
grounds on which the new proceed
ings against Tweed, Sweeny, Connolly
and others are based, are published to-
day. Everything indicates that the
campaign will be conducted carefully
and vigorously and with reasonable
expectation of success. No doubt

be recovered and judgment given

IRRIGATION.
NO. 8.

NO. 5.
The question to be discussed now is
how to raise the money to carry out
Hansen's system Of reservoirs and to
pipe the water thence to the irrigator.
Mr.. Potts tells us that the land now
worth $25 per acre can be raised in
value to 5000. He is quite reasonable
in that assertion; any acre of land be-
tween the city and the sea with water
piped to it sufficient for irrigation
would be cheap at $500. and without
water the same acre would be dear at
$25. Now take as basis of computa-
ton that each additional acre we SUBJ
ject to irrigation increases thereby in
value 500, and that we by our piping
extend our area to 10000 acres and see
what we gain-an even million; and
if we can make the Los Angeles river
by the same process irrigate 100000
additional acres, and there is no doubt
about it, we get an increased valua-
ton in land of $4,000, ,OOO-simply
enormous, but nevertheless real. Now
where is that capital to come from?
That is the question. I doubt if the
prOperty-owner, the merchant or the
manufacturer in the city will consent
to be taxed for that purpose. The land
owner and irrigator within the city
would certainly refuse to be taxed for
the same, for the reason that his land
is already irrigated under the present
wretched system. But II the owners
of those thousands of acres of worth
less land beyond the city limits so
often referred to, that are to be bene-
flied by the new system proposed,
would come to the front and give one
half, If necessary, of their dry plains
to have the other half irrigated, they
would solve this question and enrich
themselves. And 1 believe this to be
the only practical solution of the great
question of how to develop the irrigat-
ing capacity of our river.
One year ago l wrote under nom
de plume an article, which was pub
lished in the Express, embodying the
above views, and was much gratified
ar the suggestions being favorably re-
ceived by the city press and by many
intellig.n and enterprising men.
They may or N v not be practical, but
that sometlL z ought to be done to
get rid of the rtI,ie wasteful, misera-
BILE, disgraceful, qnarrelsome, fighting

Cause of she Late Explosion.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 9th.-It has
now been ascertained that the explo-
sion which caused the late disastrous
fire was occasioned by spark from a
pipe which Clark (Risdon's foreman)
was smoking while filling cartridges,
falling in a can of powder. George
Green, a blacksmith, formerly in Ris-
don's employ, was in the Office at the
time with Clark and q man named
Curran, employed as a boatman to
carry cartridges to Rincon' Rock.
When the spark fell into the powder
it blazed up and Clark attempted to
put 1t out, while Green ran out. When
about fifty feet from the building the
explosion took place. The man Cur
ran, alluded to by Green, has not been
seen since the explsion, and it is a
question whether the body found near
Risdon's Office Wednesday was Cur
rams or Clark's. The wounded are at
st. Mary's Hospital, doing as we'll as
can be expected. 1t is thought that
several will die from their Injuries.
An inquest will be opened by the Cor
Oner to-day.
