BRING THE REGIMENT HERE.

The suggestion is made for what IL
is worth, and we think it worth a good
DEAL that the Citizens State Fair Club
would make a ten strike by an effort,
leading to success, to bring the return
ing First California Regiment, now en-
route home from the Philippines. to
Sacramento during some days of the
State Fair The regiment could be
brought. here by steamer easily and
pleasantly and 1t would make delight
full excursion for the men. 1t could be
encamped here two or three days most
satisfactorily. While here doubtless 1t
could be arranged to have a sham bat
tie by these veterans. The great mass
of the men of the First have friends
or relatives in Sacramento and vi
cinity. Unquestionably they would be
pleased to meet them while still in
regimental uniform. To the people Of
the interior the visit of the regiment
to Sacramento at that time would be
especially gratifying. The cost would
not be very great for transportation
and subsistence, but whatever it would
be it would unquestionably be met by
the increased visitation to the city to
see, meet and welcome the returned
veterans. Certainly the matter is
worth looking into IT is probable that
General Shafter could be prevailed up
on to permit the excursion to be made.
A precedent was established by the
department when one of the regiments
was permitted to visit San Jose last
year.

Her little feet have wandered all the busy

Along the paths where sunbeams with
the shadows love to play.
And now, at night, she comes to me, my
sleepy little fay,
To rest within my arms awhile till she is
tucked away.
Her little hands are plant now, they
yield to nv caress,
And dropping lids to dreamland's charms
would willingly confess.
Yet closer to my breast she sinks, her
thoughts are far away
Across the borderland where she will

All! little life, my load of care slips down

Your golden locks light up my life with
