OUR CALIFORNIA LETTER

SAN FRASClsco, April I, 1879.
Correspondents Of the lutslllgencsr.
Business prospects, in most every
branch are good for the summer.
There has been a sufficient amount Of
rain in most all parts Of the State, this
season, and the prospects for a good crop
are tiattering.
The rainy season tsabout over, however,
slight occasional showers will continue
for a few weeks when the dry season will
set in, with the unpleasant wind and
dust.
Ex.vice President, William Wellock,
the fallen agitator," who was recently ex.
PEELED from the Workingmen's party, by
the State central committee, has concluded
not to stump the State in favor Of the new
Constitution. He, no doubt, fears OF
meeting the same fate as Kearney, while
at Santa Ann.
Over three hundred workingmen, EN-.
ployed on the seq walls and on the cite for
]. Q. Floods mansion on Mob Hill, have
struck for two dollars per day. They are
getting but one and a half per day. Great
excitement prevails. Some went to work
Notwithstanding the strenuous efforts Of
the strikers to prevent them, but were
terribly beaten by them at night. Some
were taken from theirIbeds and seriously
il not fatally injured. The police were
called out and are compelled to guard the
men while at work. No indications for a
compromise at present.
Dennis Kearney, who, for some time
past, has been travelling and delivering Of
fensive speeches in the southern part ofthe
State, returned to the city yesterday. No
manifestation were made, however, and no
notice taken by any Of the papers except
the Alta, in the words, dennis how's the
head?" The warm reception rendered
him, by u few ofthe persons who were de.
nounced by him at Santa Ann, evidently,
had a soothing effect. He returned to the
city with a pair ofvery black eyes, and the
"reminiscences Of ajammed jaw, and other
marks OF violence on the oCCipital part OF
his Uranium. 1t would have been q credit
to the city, had he been dealt with in the
manner petescribed at Santa Ann, long
before, for he returned to the city better
informed on the point Of free speech"

ately beneath. The missile tearing up the
soil, threw the balls into the air, and they
were broken rs they rose. The doctors
greatest feat was performed Tor a wager Of
one hundred pounds sterling that he
would hit an apple upon the end Of a
knife held by his Colored attendant riding
on horseback at full gallop at a distance oil
thirty yards. A large apple was procured,
and stuck on the end OF q pruning knife,
The negro mounted a horse, and held the
target with his left hand as far as possible
behind his body. The start was made
about one hundred yards away, and when
the rider came within range, riding at
furious Gallop, the doctor fired. The first
attempt was u failure, and odds OF ten
pounds to two pounds were bet against
Carver. The second time he struck the
apple, knocking it into half a dozen pieces
