The Hills After the Rains.

The hills present, after the late
rains, most delightful spectacle.
While our people have been juking
around under umbrellas, lodging
under awnings, posing themselves
in doorways, staggering by the
comfortable home fires, and listen
ing to the ceaseless patter, patter of
the pouring rains, the lush grasses
have been drinking in the wetness,
and expanding in the intervals of
sunshine, until all Beaudry's hills
are covered with alfilerillo from
twenty.four to fifteen inches high,
with the burr clover fairly fatigu-
ing itself, by getting a tip-toe, to
rival its taller neighbor. The hills
are brave sight now, we can tell
you! Every considerable indenta-
ton in the ground is now u lake
and the inevitable ducks, by some
mysterious dispensation, are there,
having high old time, and think
ing, probably, that this Is not
such an old punk of dry country,
after all. Last year the ducks and
geese and brant hereabouts held a
convention, aud resolved that, if
there was another dry year in Carl
fornia, they would HE them to Or
egon or Panama, countries in which
their web feet would have q show,
but they have fully resolved to stay
now.
The luxuriaut emerald carpet is
not all that is to be seen OH the
hills, just now. What was rain in
the valleys, during the last storm,
was snow in the mountains, and
the San Gabriel range, and the
more distant Sierras, are packed
deep with the dazzling white
vesture. In the valley, in the back
ground, the delicate pea green of
the new growths of the orange trees
contrasts exquisitely with the deep,
waXen foliage of the older growths.
Taking in the whole prospect, it
needs no Bliss's rain gauge to tell
us that 1891 inches have fallen in
Los Angeles.
