FROM MAINE TO CALIFORNIA.
From New Eng1and's bloodhound Coast
to the Shores of the Pacific.

From New Eng1and's bloodhound Coast
to the Shores of the Pacific.
Thomas Leigh, ex-Mayor of Hallowell,
Me-, is in the city on visit to his sister,
Mrs E. F. Aiken. He is accompanied by
Commodore Benjamin Tenney and bride,
who are making wedding tour of the
coast. Both are wealthy men who have
an eye to making investments in this west
err country. They came west by the
Northern route, and spent several days in
Washington and Oregon. They say the
towns of Tacoma and Seattle, especially the
former. is specimen of thrift and Ameri-
can push that they think cannot be equaled
on the Continent. They believe the North
west offers exceptionally good opportu-
mites for investments.
They came over the Denver and Rio
Grande railway, and were delighted with
the grandeur of the scenery, but insist that
it is not equal in picturesque beauty to that
along the California and Oregon, along the
headwa.ers of the Sacramento and in the
vicinity of Mt. Shasta.
Since coming to Sacramento they have
visited all points of interest, and are de-
lighted with the suburban residences. es-
pecially with the beautiful flower gardens
and orange trees laden with their golden
fruit. The Capitol building they assert is
equal to anything they have down East
and the Crocker Art Gallerythe finest in
stitution of that character they have ever
visited.
They are better pleased with Sacramento
than any city they have visited, and will
remain here some days before going South.
They will return East by the Southern
route.
Commodore Tenney is the proprietor of
the largest sandpaper mandatory in the
United States. While this articles is used
in nearly all the arts and trades. there are
only six manufactures in the Union. He
says the Maine quartz is white and pure and
carries no trace of mineral. He resides in
Hallowell, on the Kennebec river, and is
owner of one of the finest steam yachts in
Maine, His summer residence is on SPUR
rel Island, few miles of the coast. 1t is
a favorite summer resort for a large num-
Der of New Englanders, and many Western
people have their summer cottages and
spend their vacations there.
Both Mr.. Leigh and Commodore Tenney
are gathering statistics relative to the
agricultural and mineral industries of the
coast, which will be given the local press of
the communities in which they live. They
are surprised at the wealth of this western
country, and of the rare opportunities for
good and paying investments.
They predict that at no distant day
Washington will be leading manufactur-
ing State. 1t has all the natural advantages
of immense forests, unlimited water power
and inexhaustible beds of coal, while as
fine agricultural lands as can be found "out
of doors" is subject to entry and home
stead
Portland, they say, is beautiful and
proste rous city, but the chief industry
while they were there seemed to be the
manufacture and sale of umbrellas and
rubber overcoats. The weather seemed to
be mixture of sunshine and shower,
principally the latter.

His Employer Intercedes, and Has the
Crime Reduced.
WASHINGTON, December 20th.-Henry
Radcliffe, Senator Hearst's colored servant,
who was arrested on the charge of stealing
500 from the Senator, was taken before
Judge Miller yesterday. The Senator did
not desire to prosecute him, but was ready
to receive the fallen one back into his en-
ploy. With such an understanding the
Prosecuting Attorney fled an information
against the prisoner, charging him with
petty larceny. He pleaded guilty to the
charge and was sentenced to six months.
The Court suspended sentence during
his good behavior. Senator Hearst APP
peared at the police headquarters this after.
noon and wanted the stolen $500 returned
to him, but as the charge of grand larceny
was not presented in Court, Judge Miller
would give no order concerning that
amount, and the Senator is likely to expe-
rience some trouble in getting it back.

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Opera House this evening the
Howard Ather@um Variety Company, of
Boston, will appear. 1t has been here be-
fore, but since that time its force has been
materially changed. 1t is represented as
now stronger in many respects. The man
agement is the same, and when here first
kept its promises to the letter and gave
precisely as good "show" as it advertised.
1t achieved success then, and the public is
thus warranted in reposing confidence in
its representations on this occasion. Among
the leading people of the troupe are George
Thatcher, the well-known eccentric negro
minstrel comedian; Ida Heath, dancer,
who is pronounced novel in her method
and very graceful; Abachi and Mazuz,
Arab athletes DAILY, the Dutch punster
La Blanche. the illusionist; Wilton and
Mora, gymnasts, and Conroy and Fox,
Irish comedians The company remains
here but one night.
