STOCKTON, April, 18th, 1880.


in Stockton. The trip from San Francisco to
this city is calculated to make Nevada man
overflow with establishment. The Spring which
you miserable sage brushers constantly hope
and pray for, is here, actual and real. The
hills are clothed in green, and the fields with
blue flowers give the impression that the coun-
try has been newly carpeted with Brussels.
YACHTING.
Yesterday joined yachting party in trip
around the bay of San Francisco About sew
enty people were on board the craft which was
splendid two master, and fit to go round the
world in. can't say like the marine recrea-
ton of Yachting a steady thing. 1t is not
specially steady thing anyhow, as 1 found to
my cost before l got through with it. We
swung clear of the wharf at 2:30 with a spank
ing breeze which seemed to come from all the
thirty six points of the compass, and good
many points not registered on the compass at
all. The great fun about yachting is the tack
ing. Every time the craft tacks, big stick of
timber about the size of a liberty pole which
is tied on the bottom of the sail, swings over
the deck and bangs everybody in the head.
There are generally about two dozen pretty
girls on the poop deck when the sail swings
over it. and these delightful creatures are
brushed down on the heads of the people on
the main deck A lot of girls falling on man
under those circu instances is not really disa-
greeable if he is looking out for it, and knows
the ropes, but cascade of buxem beauties
suddenly precipitated on bashful Nevadian,
is an astonisher, so to speak, and all the more
undesirable when accompanied by an ava
lanche of their lovers, wearing No. IL boots
The yacht tacks every five minutes and the
girls must be set up again like ten pins in an
alley after the lacking No wonder we all got
internally hungry, and it was with no special
feeling of regret that heard the dinner gong
calling as to the cabin. Dining on board a
yacht requires practice. When it comes to
dining in house with a solid foundation, I
consider few men alive my superiors at the
game. Blu. in yacht where the table is con,
stantly indulging in waltz, the case is differ
eat. The green waves of the laughing sea
look pretty well in pictures, but when they
come up under ene's table, and flip the coffee
and sandwiches W against the ceiling, it is
another matter. The first lurch after grace
sent a ten pound ham across the table and
knocked me into lower birth in the cabin,
where a sick woman had been slowed away
with headache. The next movement of the
craft landed her in the center of the table and
drove me deeper into the birth. | was liter
ally cleft in the lurch" In dining on yacht
you grab the first thing that flies near you;
sandwich, mustard pot, the Captains wife,
the Cockswain's dog, the bow-knot in the an.

meal under the circumstances-har Dur

For after all man must eat to live. Some
clever poet q forget his name) has said,
We may live without poetry, music and art:
We may live without conscience and live without heart
We may live without friends may live without books
But civilized man not live without cooks.
He live without bookswhat is knowledge but grev
ing?
He may live without hope-what is hope deceving?
He may live without love-what is passion but pinng?
But where is the man that can live without dining?
To which l can only add:
By the warriors bones in the coral beds rotting,
I'm free to assert can live without yachting.
STOCKTON
found Stockton somewhat more of a -four
ishing town than l had anticipated. If one
wishes to get good idea of its resources and
business, they can gather it from the Mail,
new paper started here but two months ago,
but which has grown so popular that it has al.
ready been twice enlarged. Its editors, E. L.
Colnonla and S. F. Sutherland. both old Ne
vada journalists, are running things on the
high pressure plan, and present aodel jour-
nal. The paper is published in the same
building with the Police Courts, Justice
Courts and the Jail, with the County buildings
across the street.. With such surroundings,
