UNION DEPOT HOTEL,
 Los Angeles, May Sih. DEAR CITIzEN:-How time fliesl A whole month since we shook from our pedal extremlties the dust of the 'an- cient and honorable pueblo" and set our face towards Gods country. Now don't give ii out that We are q little angel, for We are not, and "don't want to be-" We have no fancy for the scant drapery hnd thin clothing that seems to be the prevailing style amongst the angels, and until they have some change Tn their fashions We have no de- sire to emigrate to the summer land. Los Angeles IS good enough for us. It Is a big town and is still growing; with such lovely homes from the palstlal mansions Of the swell mi!lionaires, 10 the cosy httle cottages of those who earn their bread by the sweat of their brows-dear httle home nests, embowered in climb ing roses and wide spreading trees, with golden fruit peerlng out from the rich green leaves and white fragrant blossoms of the orange; one would like To revise the hymn, ''and live always" in one of them. But one can't have all the good things ln one place and at one time. We need little of the Arizona heat to thaw us out. Old Sol has per sIstently hid his face from us for ihe past ten days, until this morning. Our coats and thick wraps have been indis- pensable, and hugging hot stoves a very comfortable and pleasant pastime dur Ing evenings and early morning. Old timers consoiingly tell us we will have all the warm weather we can manage in the "negr future"
 Anything to eat? 1 should smilel If you want to get too bIg for your clothes just come up and board ai the Union D. pot Hotel for a month. Fresh fish, tender beef, lamb, chickens, ducks, and fresh, crisp vegetables of every descrip- ton ID the market. Strawberries and cream, and coffee like your mother used to make and served on snowy linen, with bright silver; atten- tive walters and no Chinese cooking. Mir keInheTt IS a prince of landlords; hi7 house Is always crowded may his sI dow never grow less"
 Oh yes, there Is lot of notables, or "big guns. travelling this spring. Rsck- on they are a good deal like other peo- pie and want to take advantage of cheap rateF. Last week We had an admiral. two young and tender German barons, and an Irish Lord. Also young Jimmy Flood. Lots of money don't seem to turn JImmy's brain as 1t does most young men who have riches thrust upon them He IS apparently about 9, medium height, far complexion, While teeth and an honest grey blue eye that looks R fellow square ID the face when he IS talking iO him. He Is Gnoslentatious (thEts good wordl ID his manner and geEtlemanly to all. with none of the swell about him. Few would imagine he represented several millions. Now, girls, don't be putting your eyes out em- broadening hat bands for Jimmy. It VIII be, "Sweetnes5 wasted" It IS re- ported that he has already several tons n "Els fathers maBElon,' and talks of having them made into crazy quits, for the suffering poor.
 Any pretty giris". Now If yCu will promise not to give us away to the Los Angeles ladies, We Willteli you the truth There's not two young and pretty faces in twenty you meet on the streets, III stores, on the ears, at the depot. m ho- iels, thsalers or the postoiiice, fl you watch and count. The 'sere and yel- low largely prsdominate, (so We don't feel s bit lonesome The handsOmest lady m Los Angeles IS e maiden of fifty five summers, but don't look a day over thirty; she is rich aud not on the mar ". SO just tell the president of the Fat Mems club, and all those old crusty bachelors of Tucson not to come in a band, ii's DO use. There's a Tumor float. ing around that -he has discovered "the fountain of perpetual youth" she has the most brilliant complexion and not a wrinkle. Whatever Ene does to stAve ! of that relentless old tyrant, Father | nme," Is s secret which she has guard l ed well. but we are on the scent and l as soon as We have the mystery Unear.h- l ed, We will give It to you girls, II you l promise, on your hOnoTs, not to tell the l hovs, for they are just vBIn and mean l en.a,,i iU S LLc.l of us on good looks, l If they can.
