SANTA BARBARA. Feb. 9. 1879

SANTA BARBARA, Feb. 9, 1879.
 Letters of the Sth and lOlh came yesier- day. Am glad to hear from home The time seems long before receiving answers to my letters, notwithstanding either letters or papers reach me three times each week. My time is about as fully occupied as was en old acquaintance of mine who "loved to work when he could get time" His habit was to visit various stores, shops, etc. which usually used up the greater part of the tore. noon, and repeat the same round in the af- tcrnoon. So with me :: visiting the Dr's office. post office, the beach and some other places, always sure 10 come home by our dinner hour, and again going tile rouuds in the after noon, together with . few chores and a littl. gardening. fad, however much l love to work, but little time to devote to H..
 My galdeD is coming on nicely now, but it hardly pays to raise vegetables for they are brought into market and sold SO cheap by the Chinese that the labor seems almost lost but the idea of making gardens in Jan uary is worth something it the vegetables are not.
 January 2lst was great day with the their New Years day. They commenced with fireworks st l2 o'clock .al night, keep ing up tue uprOar over an hour, then ceased and cVnneuced again ut l2 o'clock at noon continuing Ii much longer. About ten in number will each take bundle of packages ot hre-crackers, going out in front of The house and lighting package at 8 time ant throw into the street as rapidly as they can light them. thus Keeping up constant snapplng and roaring an hour at tune. Accomp 'nying this is kind of music thu, ot an old copper gong and a couple of cop per plates used as cymbas, that are about as musical as an old COW bell. This band of music IS txKen into their churches before the images whlch they worship. They have written praises which they offer before their images then burn in an old brass furnace | h fact the whole ceremony is a kind of rr- I ligious worship Thelr houses are throw n open to the public, their tables laden with fruit, nuts. candles, etc, closing the exer- cises of the day with a grand play at the theatre in the evening.
 l have d horse at my command now and frequently take rides with the Dr.. visiting patlents and Oftentimes hy myself for pleas ure. This is Il beautiful country to trave in such variety of scenery-plains, foot hills, valleys and magnificent mountains. Between the foot hllls aud mountains is | ranch or valley of fine rich soil ranging from one-fnurth to one mile in width, Very productive. Father back in tho country are kept large herds of cattle and hocks o several thousand sheep on one farm of sil thousand acres.
 A feeling quite we'll and enjoying my self much, J. SoovILLR.
