Letter from Jumbo.
UNION DEPOT HOTEL, J,os ANGELES. June 24, lSS6.

and the weeks to a month, Hnd We stlll fingered ,and who would not, surrounded by such peace, quiet and comfort!
 We bundled up all our cares, duties and regrets and tucked them ID the very bottom of our grip sack, out of sight, resolving to think of nothing but the present enjoyment, literally obey ing the injunction of believing "suft- cient unto the day." etc. So the time npsd by while we basked ID the waves; "gathered shells by the shore indo- lently swung m the hammock, and partook of the sump!uous repasts at the Long Beach hotel which, by the way, Is perfect in its arrangements and man agement, having been thoroughly reno yated, newly papered and painted. The house will accommodate about To per sons; has 100 large, elegantly furnished rooms; the dining room IS spacious and well ventilated and you fellows who have lost your top hair by early piety, can sit and eat in peace for there's not a hy. The housekeeping is under the able Gf Mrs. Welch, Scotch lady, and veteran in the business, and one that would suit the most fashdlOns. Last, but not least" are Messrs. Fred Cowley aud II. L. Mitchell, proprletors, gent!emanly, attentive aud consequent Iy popular. Now jumbo" don't make matches, or break them, but will just whisper to you girls, that they are both younp and unmarried. They are fine. nkely young men, and would make some good girls, husbands. We know that you Tucson girls don't want to marry, but if you should come up to spend few weeks of the heated term at the sea side and feel kind of bashful like, about going out alone we will chaperon you. We are right up in that kind of business and know just when some one wants to see us st the other end of the ysrnadsh, or down at the beach, or have a letter to write &c.
 Long Branch is delightful sea side resort. The town Is tRstefullY laid out with side streets ornamental shade trees, and good side walks. There Is nothing cheap and sheddy ID the build iugs; everything IS on the substantlsI and elegant order, Hs are the inhabi tants. Many of the F. Fs of Los An geles have their homes at Long Beacbr and their business here. The new road was bull. this spring, connecting with the San Pedro trains, and the company have fully equipped with the best rolling stock that could be pur- chased, with ample accommodations fol all.
 The most remarkable feature of Lons Beach is, there IS not a saloon in tht place. and a drunken man would be si great a curiosity on the streets, as cir GUS, and only ID cases of snake bites, ol severe attacks Of cramps, from repain ibg in the water to long, can anytbinG in the line that int briatt be procured. DI Scott, who is a reliable and experienced physician, and also keeps the drugstore, keeps liquor of the very best quality for such purposes only. And blythe way, you Arizona fellows had bette bring s snake or two with yon II yoI expect to get bitten. as Long Beach Is ( snskeless Eden.
 We meet hosts of Tucson people here IT we had a little of the climate W, could almost imagine We were home again, at times, when we get together talking over "by-gones" and recalling "reminiscences of the past, which, o course, are always of pleasant nature as we make it Q rule to forget those thR' are not.
 Judge Fitzgerald and family. NIT John Csrr and family, Judge Anderson Move Wicks, Col. Muir. NIT. Culver Rn1 wife and Miss Flora Culver, Miss Lilli' An nierson, Mir. Alfred GOldschmidt, NIT Seiicmsnn and others. We had Judge Campbell and Dr. Handy for few day: at the Depot Hotel. You can "be your bottom dollar" the Judge alwRy: knows where to find something gcod tC eat, and gets 1t. That Is the secret of his good nature anC smiling counteDsnce. That WAS 6 Ioll! crew, that embarked one bright morn ing on the San Pedro train EI'h a cres hampers fishing tackle and mysteriou looking package labeled "hsndie wiil care. (glass)." We readily recognized Mir. B. NJ. Jacobs. Dr. Handy, Col. Mui and Capt. Banning. but "hOly smokel who can tbe other be, dressed in th, regular Jack tar suit, white canyss pants with wide legs, blue shirt. rOllin. collar with white silk handkerchief tie, ID sailor knot, a nice sailor hat wOrI as only a sailor knows how, on the bael of the head, There was something ia. miliar ID the cOuntensnce. when VI, heard peal of laughter that We knew DO one could belong to bu. Judge Camp bell.
 Capt Banning had invited the party to take \ trip ID hIs private steam yacht the Falcon, to the San Catalina Island for fishing expedition of two days.
 The Judges sOmbrero, was not appar ently much protection to hi. complex ion; be looked slightly sunnurnt or his return and the white canvas pant were little soiled. The Judge hsC caught one fish, and in hIs eIcitemen and anxiety to get another, sst dowI upon it. which made quite sn impres sion on the white pants. Later ID thu evening a flock Of ducks were mistakei for flying fish by the Judge, but that I a mistake hable to be made by anyon, after dinner, and investigating tha package marked handle with care (Glass,C they all looked as thougl they had a good time, they came hom' with faces beaming like happy schoO boys.
 Lqud sakes al.ve-Rnd ve had a poet in Quijotoet and didn't know 1t: ther, now, we'll stop; might get Istalled. w hope Slug 3 IS not often taken tha way; if it sbould strike ID 1t might bt dangerous. We would perscribe, Mothe Winslow's Soothing Syrup, taken freely and a mustard plaster on the tOl of the head in the place where the hsi ought to grow. IL would have a ten dency to warm up and collect togethe any little remnant of braIns Slug might possess.
 It msy be that Slug 3 only break out that way in the Spring time; Spring time poet rarely dies early, bu lives to affiIct a long suffering publI several Springs Tn successor. But ! his poetical effort on the Indian scar and Jumbo's return to the camp bs proved fatal. and the bones of the giite, poet lies molderipg in Ire Qui'otos cem etery, with the coyotes and wolves howl ing his requiem, Rest cat in peace Slug g." is the benediction of
 "JUMRo."
