Letter from California.

SANTA CRUZ, Dec. 18, 1877.
Ed. CdLedOnidn Had we been to
Yosemite, the Petrifed Forest or the
Geysers, we might furnish something to
entertain or interest your readers, per-
haps; but we have not visited any of
the modern wonders of California, and
as we are not on the reportOrial staff,
at present, we have conscientious scru-
pies about drawing on our imagination
too largely, or borrowing the informa
ton which others have obtained. So
we will simply notice few things that
have engaged our attention here in the
County of Santa Cruz.
Six miles from this city is grove OF
'big trees,n which all visitors in Santa
Cruz are expected to see. They are
not the species sequOia gigantea OF
Calaveras, but the genuine redwood
sequOia sempervirens, which is peculiar
to few localities on the coast. The
monarch of the grove is 81 feet in diam
eter at the base, and 296 feet in height
by an Eastern mans measurement (Dr
Dio Lewis.) The diameter at the TOP
is estimated to be 10 feet, which indi.

salutes him with leaden missile, and
often repents his rashness before he
has time to climb a tree or jump a
precipice. When very hungry, or when
accompanied by young, bruin will gen
orally attack a man if he apprOximates
his position too closely. He is general
ly met upon the mountain side; and
the usual tactics adopted by the weaker
party is double-quick down the in
clined plane. The man with a very
cool head sometimes climbs tree but
it requires an exceedingly steady nerve
to enable man to stop and pick out
tree that he can climb and the bear
can't. In our opinion, not one-half of
one per cent. of the pursued would go
up tree. 1t is not the upward move
ment that alleviates the pangs of terror.
There is always that inexplicable dread
and anxiety, while one is making an
ascent with the foe behind. No; but
it is certainly the downward movement
that brings comfort and peace of mind.
When one is conscious of escaping the
danger in the rear it makes little differ
ence upon what he may alight at the
end of his flight. Even the fall from
the top of fence to the ground occa-
siOns exquisite sensations of joy when
one is sensible of falling out of reach of
the foe, whether he be cross bear OF
mad bull; when the perpendicular
descent is fairly established, man
might, at the end, be impaled upon
thousand Mexican cactuses, or covered
by hundred fathOms of blue water of
the ocean, yet his countenance would
bear the serene expression of peace and
sweet contentment. If any portion OF
the above seems absurd or incredible,
then ask some one who has tried it; or,
come to California and it is not i'm
possible that you gain information that
is more convincing than any hearsay
testimony.
Rain has been general throughout the
state, and farmers are busy putting i'll
seed for the next harvest. Grass and
grain are covering the fields with green,
and the flowers in the gardens are do
ing their utmost to remove any indica-
tions of winter. w. H. G.

He was the manager of church fair,
and one morning he walked into the
newspaper office aud said:
''Want an item this morning 2"
"Of course" replied the editor.
Whereupon the visitor laid the follow
ing note upon the table:
''The ladies of the-Street Church
will give a festival ut their vestry hall
next Friday evening. Literary and
musical entertainments will be provid-
ed and a supper will be served to all
who desire. The ladies in charge of
the affair have much experience in such
matters and are sure to provide good
time. The admission will be only fif-
teen cents, and it is certain that no one
can spend that amount to better ad-
vantage. Be sure to go and take your
friends"
When the editor had read it, he said
''Oh, | see, an advertisement
''No; not an advertisement. We
prefer to have it go in the local col
umn," replied the manager.
And seeing that the editor looked
sceptical, he continued
sit will interest great many of your
readers, and help good cause beside.;
we have spent so much money getting
up our entertainment that we cant af-
ford to advertise it without increasing
the price of our tickets. In such mat

The Symptoms of Hydrophobia.
THE LATEST AND BEST EXPERT DEsCRI
TION

THE LATEST AND BEST EXPERT DEscRIP-
TION.
by M A. Bouley, General Inspector of the Vet
erinary Schools of France
Rabies in the dog is not characterized
by raving madness in the first few days
of the attack. On the contrary, it is
disease of a gentle type at first but
from the first the saliva is violent, that
is, it contains the germ which may in
Oculate hydrophobia in other animals,
and the dog is thus more dangerous by
his affectionate demonstrations than by
his bites, for at this time he has no de-
sire to bite.
From the time that hydrophobia be-
gins to affect the dog his disposition
changes. He becomes sad, dull and
morOse, likes to be alone, and keeps
himself in dark corners, but he cannot
remain long at rest in the same place.
He is anxious and agitated, goes and
comes, lies down and gets up, goes out,
smells about, looks around and scratches
with his fore paws. His motions, atti-
tudes and actions seem to indicate at
times that he sees phantoms, for he
bites in the air, rushes forward and
howls as if ready to fight real enemies.
His expression of countenance is
changed, and his looks betoken dull
but ferocious melancholy.
In this state the dog is not yet ag-
gressive tow ard man. His impulses are
what they were before. He is obedient
to the voice of his master, he even man.
ifests signs of pleasure, and this his
countenance exhibits at times as it re-
turns to his natural expression.
|
Instead of being inclined to bite and
fight, he, exhibits the contrary tenden-
cies in this incubative stage. The
friendly and atfectionate feeling which
he has toward his master and the friends
of the house is exaggerated, and he
shows it by the repeated movements of
his tongue, with which he is anxious to
caress the hands or face of those he can
reach.
His atfectionate feeling, so much de-
veloped and so strong in the dog, is
sufficiently dominant in him that in
numerous cases it impels him to respect
his master even in the paroxysms of his
madness. 1t is so strong that owners of
dogs have often powerful influence
over them, even after their furious i'm
pulses, have the mastery over them and
they have given themselves up to them.
The mad dog is not afraid of water ;
on the contrary he is anxious for it. AS
long as he can drink he satisfies his in
tense thirst, and when the spasms of
bis throat prevent his swallowing. he
Will thrust his whole face into the liquid
which he cannot swallow. Thus the
mad dog does not fear aUater.
The mad dog refuses no food in the
| early stages of the disease. He often

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.-A special di-
vision of the Paris international exhibi-
ton will be devoted to electricity, so
that all the systems of electric lighting
may be tested comparatively. The
electric light continues to create the
greatest interest in Paris. Experiments
have been conducted during 40 con-
secutive days at the Lyons railway sta
ton. A force of about 40 horsepower
is sufficient to keep going % electric
lamps, each of which gives light equal
to 80 gas lamps, and works with regu-
larity for lO3 hours. The effect is splen-
