A correspondent Of the Oakland
Times has pleasant word to say
of our locality. He writes:
Never before has the acreage
planted to wheat, barley, and oats,
and now preparing for maize, any
where near equaled the present /;
never before so many trees of semt-
tropical fruits set in orchard, or so
rapid in their growth and so full of
promise; never before so many TIL
lers of the soil and wooers of Po-
mona, so full of well-grounded
hope; never before were the whole
community, Of every industrial
class, so exhiliarated, SO buoyant,as
now.

Something About Mrs. Mack"y

We have read q good deal lately
concerning John Mackay intending
to assume O French and Italian
title. Now, as far as John Is con-
cerned, this bosh makes no differ
euce whatever, for all who
know him are we'll aware that he is
the same John Mackay as when he
worked in the mines as aprospector.
There is no shoddyism about him,
and we question if he would not
feel far more happy with his old
and early friends about him than to
be feted and petted as Grant has
been by sall the crowned
heads Of Europe. Il is
understood that John Mac
kay Is no illiterate scrub, but q
solid business man; and this we
state, not because he is a million.
ARE, but because we know him to
be u square, honest man. 1t is
about the remarks made concerning
Mrs. Mackay that we have to speak.
The idea of the bonanza kings
wife keeping high state in the city
of Paris, the center of attraction
for the creme de la C, enle of society
of the civilized globe, was made
the subject of much comment, and
the lady spoken of as shoddyite
parvenu, but such is not the case,
for the lady in question is the equal
of any one that breathes on this
continent in point of education and
training. The daughter of Ma
jor Hungerford and wife, as
finely an educated lady as
ever graced ballroom in
the capital of the United States,
Mrs. Mackay received a most thor.
ough education in all the modern
languages, and is a finished French
scholar and fine musician. The
young widow ofDr. Bryant, a ply.
sician of great ability, she was left
in poor circumstances, and in al
most an impecunious condition,
was, with her young family, intro
duced to the rising man, John
Mackay, and made the partner of
his rapidly improving fortunes,
and is as we'll suited to grace the
habitation of n millionaire as any
princess in Europe.--Cdrson Tri.
