CALIFORNIA HOSPITALITY.

California hospitality is more remarka- ble than that of Germany. I have exper- fenced it in the following impressive and peculiar manner. Anyhow, the peclslIari- tv is noticeable that the new conner is always surprised by it.! The other day called upon leading business man and was engaged with him till noon, nnd our affairs were not yet settled when he invit- ed me out to lunch with him. As he is a man whose huslness rms way up i'll the millions annually, supposed he would go to some neat restaurant and enjoy civil ized lunch, and the belief was made stronger when he led the way toward the restaurant of the Palacs Hotel, the finest place of the kind i'll America, and yet the cheapest. But, alas for human eSpecta- tions he turned to the left and entered the bar-room Walking up to the bar, he said to the attendant
 s'Give us the bones.
 x The barkeeper at oGco handed him Il lit tie round box containing five dice. He took the box, rattled it awhile, and emp tied it upon the counter. The barkeeper drew aside two of the dice and put the other three back in the box, and my friend spilled them out again. Then the bar keeper put them all back in the box and \, ssShake." I shook and spilled the dice, and my friend said, ssWill you fill.or throw again ?" thought would throw again, though did not know what he meant. When had spilled the dice again he on ly remarked, 'It's on you, whiskey in mine. 1 have been around enough to know that I was to pay for the drinks, at % cents each. Theu my friend turned around to the free lunch counter and pro. ceeded to fill himself. I feared that he ] was absent minded and remarked to him I"Aint you afraid you will destroy yonr ap petite for lunch 7"
 "That's just what I am trying to do, ol l I wouldn't be eating lunch here. What l do you have for lunch at bars where you 1 come from ?" he asked.
 Usually cloves or burned coffee, an swered, for I had Indianapolis barroon ! lunches in my mind. Then my friend in formt d me that this was the lunch that he had invited me to, and that as it was ssstand mp lunch it was quite popular witt l all classes.
 l Later in the day was sitting in the of 1 flee of another leading merchant when fruit paddler came in with his basket ful
 of truck on hls arm. sz
 "Want anything to-day?" he asked
 "Yes, give me a shake said the mer
 chant
 The peddler at once drew a dice bo.
 from bis pocket, and they proceeded t. shake, and l knew the merchant was ahead because the fruit dealer remarked ooh

 two large apples from the basket, an, handing me one, remarked as the peddle passed out:

CORREsPONDENCE.

Pomona, California; April 24. 1885.
 The question has often been asked, "How did the state of Connections obtain a large tract of land in northern Ohio, and why was it called New Connecticut" and as I have never been able to find any rec ord of the transaction, hope if any one has them, they will trot them out. Tradi- ton says that in colonial days there were certain Yankees connected with fhe gov ernment of the colony who wanted to ac- quire more territory, so they selected one of the sharpest among them and sent him with petition to the King of England, praying for agrant of land as wide as the State of Connections, extending to the Pa- were somawhat rusty in their geography as we'll as other people, be was obliged to enquire 'How wlde is the colony of Con- necticut and how far may it be to the Pa- citic Ocean from the western borders of the colony" The Yankee, equal to the occasion, arose Ill his dignity and said :: "May it please the sovereign King, the colony of Connecticut Is about sixty miles wide, and the Pacific Ocean can be dis tinctly seen from the western hills.'' The request being for so small an addition, 1t was readily granted, end before the form ation of the middle states, large quantities of land were sold to settlers in what is now the north eastern part of Ohio, and was named New Connecticut, and the money obtained for the land was set aside for a school fund, from which the writer ill for mer years probably drew his share.
 Fire broke out yesterday morning, about two o'clock, on the corner of Main and sec ond streets, and burned two bakeries, two barber shops, two saloons, store and boarding house. As these were all con nected together none of them could be saved, and the fire was only stopped at Tildins block, where there was a space between buildings of four or five feet. The fire company did excellent service. The loss is about ten or twelve thousand dollars, Insurance three thousand. Very little rain has fallen since December, and the hay and grain crops will be light. Mir. c. A. Pease, of Somers, Ct, spent couple of weeks in Pomona, and is now employed by MT.

Relative to this incident. P. T. Barnum yesterday told the following story never before published
 While Mir. Howe was counting out the money referred to, a stranger who was a clergyman entered the tent and said that he had heard of Mr. Howes hberallty, and that he had called to ask him to con tribute toward building church for his congregation. ~
