Music ReconciIed Them.

The Spanish and Indian Californians
were passiOnately fond of music. All
the men could make shoes and play the
guitar and every woman could sing
Spanish songs to her own accompani-
ment. Bancroft, in his "California
Pastoral" tells how the people, after the
conquest Of the country by the United
States, were Tcconciled to the new rule
by music.
The Californians were invited to re-.
turn TO their homes and resume their
usual occupations. Proclamations which
promised protection Of their persons and
property were placarded in the towns
but they would not come out Of their
hiding places.
The commodore, whoso naval force
had helped TO conquer the country, was
at Los Angeles, and, meeting Captain
Phelps, an old Trader on the coast. re-
quested his help.
Commodore" replied the captain,
'tyou have a fine band on your shin. and
such a thing was never before in this
county. Let IL play one hour in the
plaza each day at sunset, and ] assure
you IL will do more toward reconciling
the people than all your proclamations,
which few Of them can read"
The captains suggestion was adopted.
At first the children came forth and
peeped round the corners Of the houses.
a few lively tunes brought out the vivas
Of the older ones, and before the band
e. ased playing they we're surrounded by
delighted natives.
The next afternoon the plaza was
thronged with the people OF the town
and with ranchmen from distance, who.
having heard Of the wonderful band, had
ridden in. The old priest Of the mission
Of an Gabriel, as he sat by the church
door opposite the plaza, listening TO the
music, was introduced 70 several Of the
nOval officers.
81 have not heard band" said the
old man, ''since left Spain over fifty
years ago. All that music will do
more service in the conquest Of Cali.
