While these roncseros lived in baronial
splendor, with the power of feudal
lords, their hospitality was common
surately great. 1t was not for outward
show, but was general rule of the
country, founded on generous, hos
pitable spirit. A man could travel from
San Diego to sonoma without it costing
him a dollar, even if he were a stran-
ger. At each ranch where he stopped
over night fresh horse would be pro-

cologne A senorita breaks one Of
these over senor's head, which gives
it the appearance of being powdered
with gold dust This is a great COM
pliment, and he is bound by all of the
rules of courtesy to acknowledge it by
breaking one over her head-perhaps
he breaks a half dozen at once, and the
effect is acknowledgements of red,
blue, white, green, yellow and purple
glistening in the senorita's head of coal
black hair. When the amusement is at
its height there is battle of casca-
rones, and the young peoples heads
and dresses glisten with the radiant
colors, and the floor is covered with the
painted egg shells-a battle of beauty
and gallantry.
But the happy days of the Spanish
bale are gone, with other amusements
and sports of romantic California be-
fore the days of the Invasion of the
Americana" The noisy fandango Of
the Mexican has succeeded the Spanish
bade The fandango is something like
the French masquerade or the American
public grand ball'' everybody and
anybody can go, and the best stay
away.
The fandango is what the tourist and
the native superficial observer sees, and
they think they have seen something of
ancient Spanish life. Very few of the
customs of the ancient hidalgos are OBJ
served in these latter days, and there
are very few of the old adobe ranch
houses of those days now in existence
The modern adobe house is Of different
structure and construction-not built
with a view to comfort, hospitality and
pleasure, but merely to live in. The
days of the baronial rancheros were the
golden days of the romance Of Cali
fornia. j. NJ. ScAELAND.

lowers--At a Bale.

Especial Los Angeles (Cal) letter.
Those who have read the "Happy
Valley of Rasselas" can form some idea
of the pastoral beauty of California and
the Arcadian happiness of the inhab'
itants, prior to the discovery Of gold in
1sAs. and the consequent rush of the adj
venturers of the world to ''these peace
full shores" No country since the days
of the Biblical patriarchs has presented
such scene of rural simplicity, peace
fulness and general prosperity as Cali
fornia. The conquest by the Ameri-
cans was almost bloodless, and of short
duration. The hidalgos and priests who
came from Spain and Mexico had select
ed the most fertile spots for their hac'en-
das, and mission churches. The popu-
lation, exclusive Of Indians, was about
thirty thousand, extending along the
coast, the missions being San Diego,
Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Luis
Obispo, Monterey, Santa Cruz, San
Jose, Yerba Buena (san Franciscc),
land Sonoma, a stretch of country about
seven hundred miles in extent.
The ranches ranged in extent from
one to eleven leagues-or from 1000 or
5000 to $4,000 acres. The hsddtgos,
when they left their native land, had
been given grants as an inducement to
settle in this new country, and many
of the ranches were baronial in their
extent and surroundings, containing
from 1000 to 10000 head OF horned
cattle and from 500 or 900 to 5000 or
1000 head of horses, and other stock in
proportion. The proprietors were great
dignitaries, lords to the manor born"
maintaining large numbers of vassals,
even greater than many of the feudal
barons Of old These vassals were
mainly Indians, who, under Mexican
neeior donsos, did all Of the work on the
ranches. They were good harvesters
and the best horse breakers in the
world. The Indians were very numer-
GUS, docile even to servility and in
capable Of 'sself-government," and so
the Mexicans practically enslaved them

State. At the recent meeting of the De-
mocracy of that county there was a grand
outpouring of "the unterrifed," and Capt.

the report of the proceedings as furnished

ing paragraph:
"B. w. Moore, in the interest of harmony,
would not permit his name as delegate to
the National Convention against that OF
Col. St. Clair, although strongly pressed by
his friends to do so. Mr.. Moore is a whole
