SAN FRANCISCO, April 9th, 1880.

! EDITOR APPEAL: | left Sacramento yester-
day, fully convinced that | was not an impor,
tant wheel in the machinery of the Legisla-
ture. | came ever the new route by which
the c. P. Railroad ignores Vallejo. few
miles below Fairfield the track enters a waste
of level tule lands, where nothing can be
raised bat ducks and pull, such as cheap mat
trasses are stuffed With mean the pull.
Ducks, wild geese, pelicans, cranes and mud
hens abound in millions all along the line of
| the road and do not even move when the loco
motive sweeps past. Eack flock of canvas
| twenty feet across with two hundred yards Of
| bank. No man OF sense would shoot q duck
in one of these pools las in order to secure the
game one must wade waist deep in mud which
is the color of tar. The ducks seem perfectly
aware of this fact, and with a supreme conf
dence in the good sense of hunters, take no
pains to avoid them. All through this coun
try one sees placards warning people against
killing game on the premises. If the State
paid dollar royalty in duck heads it would
make no difference whatever in the mortality
of the tribe. There is one place on the road
where it has settled fifteen feet The ties,
| track and all have sunk out of sight This is
the first time the 6. P. ever settled without a
suit.

BUSINESS.
Everything is on a short bit basis All talk
of paralyZed business, and one sees every
where unmistakable signs of cheap times. All
sorts of % cent refreshments are served, and
at the Tivoli grand opera is rendered with
full orchestra for % cents. There is a We
man there, whose name have forgotten land
wouldn't mention anyh for fear of exciting
suspicion), who has Voice which sounds ex-
actly as if one had run wet finger around the
edge of glass. 1t does not sound like hui
