LETTER FROM SAN DIEGO.
Matters at the City OF Bay and OIL

EDITOR HERALD:-By the last steamer
some parties came here from San Fran
cisco to look over the situation and in
vest, if good bargains could be found, in
or genuine move OF capital for specula-
ton or legitimate business purposes, l am
unable to say.
A narrow gauge railroad to the Cajon
Rancho and from there on into the Guy
amaca mountains, Yumawards, has been
organized, and il is reported will soon be
built and put into active operation.
The survey Of this line has been com
pleted and the grade found to be easy
and good An Eastern capitalist is fur.
lishing the money.
A much larger area of land has been
cultivated this year than ever before
in the history of this county. The
grain, wue, frnit and honey interests
are fast driving the old time grazing in
dustries out OF the land. In some local.
tiles in the northern part of the county
land suitable for raising grapes, fruit.
etc, has appreciated in value within the
last few years fully 500 per ceut. A
sale OF two hundred acres Of this kind of
land was made a few days ago at Fall
brook for S75 per acre. These lands
few years ago were thought to be worth
less for any purpose but grazing, and
were not considered very good for that,
as it required a range Of about twenty
acres per head for stock to subsist upon.
POLITICS.
The news Of Clevelands nomination
gives general satisfaction to the party
here, though no great amount of enthu
siasm has thus far made its appearance.
Prepai atoms are he ng made for grand
ratification meeting this evening, when
the nomin .tions will be endorsed by the
rank and file OF the Democracy. Opinion
as TO Cleveland being the strongest man
that could have been nominated is d.
vided. Many think that Thurman, "the
noblest Roman OF them all would have
been better nomination. and it proba-
bly, would, for Thurman has scores of
friends here. even among Republicans.
his manly anu uoHordDle courst on MI
public questions ID admired by all, and
he would have polled a much larger vote
than new and comparatively untried
man could be expected to.
The local nominations for our county
officer will soon be made. Judge w. T.
McNealy will receive the nomination OF
his party for Superior Judge. Will Nj.
Smith will be his opponent on the Ro-
publican ticket. 1t is hard to say which
Of them will be elected; but it is more
than probable that it will be McNealy.
The balance of the SLATE" has not been
made public as yet, though it is whis-
pered about that Mccoy will again enter
the field for sheriff of the county. Ned
Bushyhead will be re-nomina.ed by the
Republicans for this position, and he
will be hard man to beat, even by so
formidable politician as Mccoy.
1t is again rumored that the Santa
Ana branch Of the Southern Pacific is to
be extended to this place, and that the
surveyors are now locating the road. We
all hope and pray that this is true, for
we long with yearning interest to have
speedy connection with your city by
rail. N.

Speech of Gen. II. IL. Chapman.

We publish below the speech delivered
by General r. II. Chapman at the din
ner given by the French citizens of Los
Angeles at Washington Gardens, last
Monday, In celebration of the annver-
sary OF the destruction Of the Bastille,
which was omitted from our report Of
the celebration for want of space:

freedom never made any progress upon

historians, Rousseau, Rochambeau aud
Voltlire, have proven beyond cavil that
the Partisan bourgeoisie, previous to the
sack of the Bastille, gorged themselves
with pouiet and du uiR at a restaurant
kept by Pierre Pompadour in the Rue
Etoile. Likewise, as is well known, the
heroes of Palo Alto refused to go into
battle until copiously supplied with eau
de pie and their usual mutton chop. 1t

Jupiter at the head of the table, became
quite robust and fat on ambros'a supple

are not supposed to understand the in

national song

The Bicycle Side.

EDITOR MISUNDERSTANDING from a
threedays' tour in the country on my
bicycle and seeing an article in Tues
days HERALD, entitled Cleans vs.. BIZ

recting some misstatements therein, as |
suppose am the bicyclist referred to
from an encounter l had with man
near the Five Mile House last Monday
morning.
As was running down the grade ap.
preaching the Five Mile House l saw a
team at some distance ahead, which APP
peared to be little frightened at my
machine, and, as our custom is, | dis
mounted and hauled my machine to one
side OF the road, as soon as | could stop
on the steep grade. In the meantime
the man was shouting ia very often
sive language. at the top of his voice,
for me to ''get that thing out of the way
when he was travelling" waited until
he came opposite, when | delivered
short lecture on patience, and told him
that while bicycle bad the right OF way
equally with any other vehicle, we did
not stand on our rights, but were always
willing to get out of the way when q
horse showed any symptoms OF fright,
but it would make the accommodation
little more agreeable If he addressed me
in the language of gentleman and not
yell at me like an Apache Indian. He
raises the bugbear of fear for the safety
Of his wife, when as a matter OF fact he
was alone.
Now, Mr. Editor, I write this not so
much TO air personal grievance as to

Result OF a w ater Famine.

During the last three weeks it was
seldom that water could be had in the
second story of any building in the cen
trail part of the city, and people trembled
lest q fire should break out. Fortu-
nately fires were avoided, except in some
trivial cases, till yesterday afternoon,
when a coal oil stove exploded in the
kitchen OF Capt. Il. p. Johnson, on Hill
street, one door north of West First
street. When the explosion occurred it
was stated that a gallon Of water would
have been ample to have then extin-
guished the fire, but owing to the alb.
sence of water from the hydrant the oc-
cupants of the house could do nothing
except to give an alarm aud move as
much of the furniture out Of the house
as possible. A large part of the furni.
ture was saved, but about $1,000 worth
was destroyed, on which there was nc
insurance, and the house was burned Il
a mere shell before the firemen could gel
water from the distant mains which had
water in them. The whole loss wa
caused by 4 lack Of water in the roser
voir. The people complain bitterly o.
| this state of things.
