The carrera del gallo, next to horse racing,
was one of the most popular sports among
the native Californians. A live cock was
buried with the head above ground. At .
from = distance Of about sixty yards, and If
by a dextrous swoop he could take the bird
by the head, he was loudly applauded.
Should he fail, he was greeted with derisive
laughter, and was sometimes endorsed with
violence, or dragged in the dust at the risk
Of breaking his limbs or neck. Another
amusement was to place . rawhide on the
ground, and riding At full speed to suddenly
rein in the horse the moment his fore feet
struck the hide.
There was also the running or coursing of
bulls. For this sport q large space Of ground
was enclosed by = stout fence, outside of
which were erected stands for the spectators.
The bull was turned loose in the arena
among = hundred or more mounted men,
while on the outside were an equal number
of horsemen. Those within the enclosure,
who were the best horsemen and generally
the most prominent of the ranchess, baited
the bull with their mangas or serapes. The
animal was occasionally pricked by an iron.
pointed lance of about four feet in length.
When the bull had become tired, and conse-
quently less mettlesome, the gate was
speed. Behind him came those in the en-
closure, Joined by those on the outside, and
the whole mad crowd strove to seize the
animal by the tail and throw him. In dis
and coming together of horses; it was fright
full to behold such q mass of men and horses
tearing out of the enclosure at the risk of
life and limb. On these occasions there

thus coursed.
Another diversion also on horseback, was
known as the game Of rods. The players
formed in q ring, the horses facing inwards.
One of the lumber then rode around the
circle, having in his hand q stout rod of
ounce, or other similar wood, and he passed
the rod behind him to one of the other play.
ers. Whoever received the rod pursued the
giver, directing blows at his shoulders,
which the latter, by the exercise of skilfnl
endeavored to elude, until
q vacant place in the circle he was
exempt from further persecution. This
sport was continued for hours, and whoever
was not a skilled horseman received a good
drubbing.
A bull and bear fight after the Sabbath
services in church was a happy occasion in
decd. IL was u soui-refreshing sight to see

took place inside a strong wooden

reply to . paragraph in this paper, of why
DR.. Mitchell was not appointed four years
ago IS . member of the National Committee
and why Major Mccormick was, and why he
held on to it. We have been thoroughly
conversaDt with the facts all the time, Major,
and believe they were published soon after
the convention. What a bad man that Bar
mum was, and what a pity you couldn't run
him and his "mules'' into the brush, and
how sad it was that he held the fort so you
couldn't resign in favor of Mitchell, and
we'll, what 4 wicked world this is, anyhow!

COMPREHENSIVE.

After some thought that ,eaped life's boundary
Unto that icy night that brocds afar,
Beyond the CLEAN Of the rems,test star,
The night from whence We came and whittier
flee,
A gulf of darkness and vacuity;
Ultimate dread and doom Of all that are,
With which the throbbing pulses are at war,
As sacred child affrighted by the sea;
With what a shuddering speed we seek again
The living contact of our own home fire,
Whose ruddy comfort bickers higher and
higher,
Round which the dear, familiar faces stand,
Clasping the warmth of reassuring hand,
Happy to be aware of even pain.

The world has never seen q reunion such as

them as their guests. 1t will be such 4
meeting as has never been, such an one as
can never be again, aud 50, one That will not
only be historic, but sublime in its senti-
lnent, influences and memories. Gettysburg
was the battle that decided the war for the
union; the balance turned when Pickett's
charge was repulsed never to swerve back.
There two great armies, pitted against each
other for four years, met in one of their
greatest combats, on almost equal terms and
stubbornly fought it out. The Army of the
Potomac won the victory from as brave a foe
IS ever carried the standards Of battle. That
field has been written about as no other ever
was save Waterloo, and has been preserved,
embellished and defined by monuments as
no other field ever was. Ald now the two
armies, what is left of them and such as can

will. Congress has heen asked tn appropri-
ate $25 900 for the OCCASION, but whether it
shall or not, whether they shall have shelter

Start out in life's career;
Where ranchers withhold their aid,

They soon will be by far 100 rich.

And all too big for such town.
But they don't do that, you bet;
For one by one they soon close down,
Sold out by the .heriT stern.

And wi-doin's lesson lesrn.
Out they skip for other parts,
In search of better land,
Where people reward progressive arts,
And lend helping hand.

And the old towns size reduce;
And farmers soon have no one left,
To take their farm produce.

And the engine whistles EN- OF the track.
