who was made tWeuty-oue by Su Act o

Boy" General Clunie, after a happy satly
at the expense of the Mayor, said he fel
proud that California had had foresight {,
appropriate the money necessary to enter
tain the members of the National Grange
Californians are justly proud of their State
and it was not boasting to say that they ar
the most generous ana bospi;sble people o
the Union it was no reflection on the peo
pie of other States 10 say this, as most o
the Californians of to-day came originally
from other States. The people of Sacra
mento had been good to him in his boy
hood, his youth and his manhood, and ht
would never forget their good offices. He
represented in Congress the Santa Glars
valley, and he hoped the visitors woalc
come to that locality, where they would re-
ceive, in twin city 10 Sacramento, equally
as hearty reception as mad been rendered
them here.
sPEcIMAN CALIFORNIA GRANGER.
The last regular toast of the evening
was the Good of the Order" and was re-
sponded to by Hon. William Johnston.
He thought the best thing they could do
for the good of the Order would be to go
home, as it was getting late. One thing
he wanted them to understand was that
this reception and welcome was not the
work of California, but of Sacramento.
Later on the State would be happy to en-
terrain them, but the present. affair be-
lopged alone 10 Sacramento. On behalf OF
the Changers, he wished to thank the peo-
pie of this city for their generous hospi-
tality. Referring to General Clunie's pre-
tensions to being a Granger, the speaker
said, humorously, that the gentleman's
efforts in that direction had, he feared.
been confined to the sowing of wild oats.
