ditional States, Congress reduced the
stripes to the original thirteen, and
the stars we're made to correspond with
the number of States.
The American flag is one of the most
beautiful that float, upon any land or
sea. Its proportions are perfect when
it ia properly made-one-half as broad
as it is long. The first stripe at the
top is red, the next white. and these
colors alternate, making the last stripe
red. The blue field for the stars is the
width and square of the first seven
stripes, viz. four red and three white.
The colors of the American flag are in
exquisite relief, and it is altogether a
splendid national emblem. Long may

on every Independence Day, but the
bare figures are eloquent. At the first
estimate after the revolution the wealth
of the United States was set at $780,.

population nine years after the fight

year it is certainly 86, 900, OD0-an in.
cas- of nearly seventeenfold. Thus
the wealth rer capita is five or six
times as great as in 1880.

LONG BEACH, Jan. 3.-New Years eve

made the largest haul of aardines ever
made on this coast, landing on the ves-
sells deck over seven tons OF the silvery
beauties. Sardines are running in large
schools now, and at almost any time
looking down from the long pier the
water seems alive with the fsh. Por-
poises are common sight and run close
in shore, at times lesping completely
out of the water, and over each other in
their eager pursuit of the email fish.
The frequent rains have caused q
rapid growth of all kinda of vegetation,
and now hill and low land are covered
with a mass of verdure except where
the fruit and grain farmers are busy
plowing and planting. The prospect for
this year iH that larger number Of
acres will be set to lemons than last
season.
We have heard some people doubt
that the lemon could be successfully
raised near the ocean. To ell such we
say that their doubts will be removed if
they will examine tree growing
in the Congregational parsonage yard,
corner of Third and Cedar streets.
Though less than one-fourth OF a mile
from the surf and having little care this
tree is loaded with the fineat lemons
and now has the fruit frem blossom TO
