] We yesterday ploughed eur way up

thoroughly inspiriting sight met
our eye. Hill aud valley were
clothed in vesture of the bright
est green, the sheen of which was
q cure for sore eyes. The alfilerilla
is already several inches high, and
growing vlsibly as the spectator
looks on. Vegetation is jocund
every where, and the best season
Los Angeles county has ever had
since the American occupation up
to the current date, has registered
itself in u landscape of surprising
loveliness. The trees have re.
spOuded right royalty to the oopi-
GUS bath, and the line Of the orange
groves is marked by a wealth Of
foliage ranging from the light pea
green of the young growths to the
deep wsxen hue Of the mature tree,
Los Angeles has taken GU festi.
val garb, in unison with the world
wide Idea of Christmas. The diff
ference Is that q green Christmas
here does not mean, as in old Eng.
land, u yawning churchy ard; be-
cause, in Hsmi.Troplc California, Q
green Christmas is q rightful
thing--a wholesome weather dis
pensatioD, which commands the
occasional specter of dr0uth not to
dare to put in an appearance.
On Friday Charles Lee and VIM.
Dell Marshall arrived from Ari-
IONA and took room at the Hotel
de Paris, to which they retired at
the usual bed time. On awaking
yesterday morning Lee discovered
that Marshall had vamosed, taking
with him his (Lee's) gold hunting
case watch. $S5 in cash, revolver
and his pautaloons and shoes, thus
cutting off the possibility Of pur-
suit had Lee discovered the rob-
berry at once. As It was, he had to
send out and purchase new panta-
looms and shoes before he could
leave the room. He thea went be-

the street by officers Carpenter aud
Cruz, with the pantal0ons under
his coat aud asked where he got
them. He replied that he had
been taken suddenly sick and
thinking that, possibly, he might

back to his room, lie had taken the
precaution to bring them with
him. His appearance being re-

not to say suggestive, this explain
alton was deemed satisfactory, and
he was allowed to 20 about his
business. The officers say that ths
next man they meet under similar
circumstances, let his explanation
be never so plausible, they vii
take him into custody.
