OF course it was transitional period. Nothing was
permanent or settled or orderly, but considering
the character Of many Of the elements which com
posed California society then, it is really wonderful
that what Mr. Bancroft calls the abnormities' Of

fermenting compost-heap modern California was
evolved, an American State, with full measure OF
civilization, law, order. culture and progress
Nothing can be more interesting and instructive
than to study the beginnings OF such process

button may be recommended confidently 10 those
who find the perusal OF history difficult or fatigu-
ing, for while it Is full of weighty suggestions 1t
abounds also with amusing and striking relations.

A Remarkably Rocking Stone.

Imagine stone in size containing about five hundred cubic feet, in shape nearly as round as an orange. in weight not less than 80, ,0O0 pounds or 40 tons, and 30 nicely balanced upon q table of rock that child ten years of age, by pushing against either the north or the south side. rock 1t back; and yet the strength of one hundred men without levers or other appliances would be insufii- cient to dislodgc it from it's present position. Such is the celebrated rocking stone on a farm of J. McLau- rN, two mile, west of Monticello, This one of the greatest natural cur osity in our whole country. What sculpture could have chisled out a piece of marble it's size, and then poise it so nicely that it would Vii brate under so light a touch? But its size shape and position are not the most wonderful thing about it. It's body is composed of somewhat loose and soft sandstone in which are embedded numberless round and tinty pebbles of a diamond like harduesss, In all the valley where it is situated it is the solitary specimen or its class. Around and under, the rocks are of totally different structure. The table on which it rests is hard stone nearly as firm and close grained as the blue stone of our quarries. From whence came this wonder and how ?-The Star.

 In a short time the curtain slowly arose, disclosing most unexpected scene to the astonished specta- tors.
 A large marriage bell of hothouse flowers suspended from the ceil- ing. beneath which stood Guy Deve- lyn.
 
 Leaning on his arm stood Polonia Dave, robed simply in white, gauge veil obscuring her half averted face, while wreath of orange blossoms nestled in her nut-brown hair.
 A dignifed, elderly gentlemen, un- mistably clergyman. stood in front of the pair.
 The spell-bound auditors listened with breathless attention until the words, II pronounce you man and wife, were uttered and the benedic- tion was pronounced, when suddenly the silence was broken.
 A real bonaiide marriage" !" cried the widow, much chagrined.
 But Mrs. Fenshawe and some of the others were already congratula- ting the young couple, and remem- bering that Mrs. Guy Develyn was more important parsonage than Polonia Dave, she hid her disappoint- ment and kissed the bride effusive- ly.
 Guy Develyn's success in his art continued to increase, bringing him fame and fortune without stint.
