That most genial and attractive
of prospectors, Mr.. G. e. Brown,
went up TO San Francisco yester-
day, on o brief visit. Mr.. Brown
has been giving unremitting at
tention, Of late, to the placer posi-.
bilities of Southern California,
and he thinks they, are great.
While our accomplished friend has
retired from the real estate bust.
ness in this city, and will concen-
trate his sole attention on mines,
we hope that, in his charming
homestead on Main street, We have
a hostage from fortune that he
viii remain an ADgelefio. - j.. =. ~
When our mutual friend, "Old
Probabilities,n informs us, in the
usual set phrase, that during the
proceeding atwenty.four hours,
there has fallen an inch of rain,
few of us stop to reflect on the sub.
ject sufficiently to appreciate fully
what that amount of water really
signifies. The volume of an inch
of rain falling upon an acre. of
land is equivalent to 3 $50 cubic
feet of water, or 27,l54 u. &. gall
Ions, and Its weight is q little more
than one hundred tons. The same
relative quantity of rainfall upon
q section Of land is 2,323, 200 cubic
feet, j, or 1873, $50 United States
gallons, or Ga, ,54S tonsof water - "
During the course of the Phillip.
Ipi trial yesterday there was very
amusing instance of, a distinction
with a difference, Mr.. d. M, Gra.
ham. was undergoing scrutiny as
to his eligibility as a witness. He
was asked by stephen NJ. White,
Esq, as counsel for the defendant,
whether he was not pref udiced in
the case. He promptly, replied
that be was not. "Were yon not,"
asked Mr.. White. ."one OF. the
meeting which organized these
prosecutions?' Mr.. Graham re-
piled that he was. i "Does not
that,u said Mr.. White, "show that
you are prejudiced?n- Witness
"N6; that was not prejudice-it
was merely matter OF principle.n
AS a hair-spli.ting casuist Mr.. Gra.
ham must be admitted to be a sue,

1t gives US great pleasure to be
able tn announce that The. superb
Lsguna ranch, which comes up to
the city line, will no longer be de-
voted to the mere depasturing of
sheep, however-profitAble that av-
ocation may be. II is u matter OF
great doubt as to whether there is an
equal body of land in California
capable of as great agricultural
or horticultural results as the eley-
en- thousand acres embodied in
this royal domain. Consequently,
the fact that a mum Der of local aud
foreign capitalists have leased III
for period Of eight years and six
montls from the first OF July next,
with the view OF developing it's ut
most possibilities during that. peri
cd, shows new and gratifying era
has dawned both for the ranch and
for this city. All over this splen-.
did property water lies very near
the surface and great results in the
line Of PRODUCTION may be looked
for, both frona the character Of the
soil aud the means and enterprise
