The following communication made to
the Germantown Telegraph, from a cor-
respondent in California, is trothful, and
accords with information privately re-
ceived by us. "It holds oat little in-
ducement for Kistern farmers to cast
their lot there.
"The rainy season in California is over.
It has been very light, especially in the
southern part of the State. Nerth of the
Bay of San Francisco about 16 inches
have fallen; south of the bay, at San Jos;
only 5 inchea of rain fell. Farther south,
throughout Monterey, San Luis, Obispo,
Santa Barbara, Los Angelos, San Diego,
San Benardino, and e interior counties
about Visalia, not more than from 1 to 5
inches have Oaten, there being possibly
local variations of more or less rainfall at
points. Grass and wheat art., a failure
there, and stock is being driven out of
the country through fear of starvation.
This desert region is what is termed the
tropical belt of California. Nine out of
ten who come here never rest till they
settle there, infatuated with the idea'of
growing oranges on land that requires ir-
rigation the best of seasons. Speculat-
ors have so thoroughly advertised that
region that there was no use in trying to
dissuade the people from going there.
Broad shouldered follows from the Penn-
sylvannia hills and the beech woods of
Indiana, turned their clacks on the rich
valleys and waving crops ' north of the
bay to indulge boyish longings in untried
fields. Poor fellows! I talked with one
the other day who had put in 800 acres
of wheat, which he moved away from.
lele stated that there were not enough
green plants from. it to feed a dozen
sheep over aight. One half of Califor-
nia will have to feed the other half this
season.
• No wonder strangers are taken in by
the magnificent stretches of plains and
mountains. The scene is fair to the eye
until midinimmer sets in, when the hill-
sides are brown and bare, and the almost
immeasurable plains, lately covered with
lowers, are swept with I hot winds and
sand storms. Nature designed that
country for a roaming population like the
Tartars,who could rnove with her *flocks
from place to place. It is high time for
the truth to be known. For the specu-
lators who lie to Immigrants and falsely
persuade them to go there, there is no
word. to characterize their unpitying sel-
ishaess, as there is no law to punish
their false representations. True, there
is possibly one acre in a thousand cap-
able of irrigation. But that is only a
drop in the bucket. -
Our fruit crop -will be immense. Al-
monds are nearly full grown; so are apri-
cots. Peaches are formed; eherries,
plums, &c., are in clouds of blossoms, and
pears are set. We haven° insect trou-
bles as Yet to spoil our fruit; and, since
all danger from frost is_over can safely
count on the crop. In fact, you may take
the beat part of this coast, which is that
part north of the Bay of San Francisco,
and the steady yield of enormous fruit
crops of the most luscious and perfect
sorts, together with the mild, even cli-
mate, make the chief attractions we have
to offer.
To be sure we produce gold and .silver
and. mercury in undiminished quantities;
but there are no longer fabulous fortunes
in mining, except for owners of mines.
Even then there are comparatively slen-
der returns for stockholders. The inside

What a Resolute Woman Can
I
• Do.
' A few years it go the wife of arising
lawyer in a lar e town suddenly found
herself left a Iwidow, with two young
children. As soon as she recovered from
the shock of h4 dreadful bereavement,
she set herself resolutely to find out .in
precisely what condition she -was left.
She had a good home,lout she found there
was a debt of over $1,000 on it. She
had no source f income, though ehe had
wealthy relatives. Should she throw her-
self upon their charity ? Not she. She
was blessed wi h good health- and good
• sense,and she resolved to be independent.
This was the way she went to work: she
had in her basement a convenient Wash-
room- iihe niae a reg,ular laundry of -it,
and advertised for work to do. • With
the help of (m servant she commenced
operations. • 5 e attended to the work
herself, sta.rchi 'g, polishing, fluting, and
ldoing the fine parts of the work with
• her own hand . Some of her friends
lifted their ey rows,shrugged their use-
less shoulders nd whispered, " washer-
woman " underltheir breath. Little cared
she. She wa doing good, honest work
at good, hqnea4 prices, and felt herself as
much of a ladyl as when he used to en-
tertain her f hionable friends in her
dainty parlor. She gradually enlarged
her business,hi

• Making a Home of the Farni
The farm as a home will have its gar -
&on and its orchard, for beauty as well
as profit; will have poultry and animals
win& possess other than a money value,
The eye of the owner will be seeking vis-
tas through the owes and forests,
through which sun and "shade may play.
If he clears away the ancient trees, he
will spare a copse here and a thicket there
for his very cattle will thank him for
their shelter, and no passer by will fail to
admire the taste and forethought which,
with the meadow or the plowed field, re-
tain the glories of maple or birch, or elm,
or gnarled beech.
Such things are coming even among us
to have a value even in dollars and cents.
With better roads, which, are the crying
need of our rural districts, a drive of four
or five miles, or twice as much, is not
always an evil. The purer air, the rest-
ful quiet, the retirement for study, coun-
terbalance some of the conveniences of
the village. The homestead with apres
for a lawn, - decorated with a stream
which giows and changes with the eea-
sons ; with groves that are rich in origin-
al treasures of the forest; with some-
thing newalways inethe fields ripening
for harvest, and in the orchard as respon-
sive to the season's fashions as any Fifth -
avenue belle; with poultry and sheep
and cattle and horses that welcome you,
and are grateful. for your care--raust be
something more than a shop or factory.
Because Americans have had too ranch
land, they have not learned yet, as ,the
)0inglish in their restricted island have
done, to count their trees. and inventory
their watercourses, and make much of
every hill and valley, every phase and
variety of scenery. Insteed of 'degrad-
ing the farm more into a tread -mill of
compulsory labor, we need more and
more to decorate it with. the attractions
of home, to conned it with pleasures
and. culture, to bring out the best fea-
tures of its landscape, the special beau-
ties of gorge or hill or grove or raea.dow
with which nature has adorned it. The
most careless observers learn how vener-
able, graceful or sturdy trees designate
an entire district ; how a well cultivated
garden wins admiration; how the very
soil and air may tell that a farm has a
man of taste and brains for its master.
He has made his 'home there; he has
treated the acres in a kindly generous
way. He has not gone at his farm as if
it were a slave, to be abused and stinted,
with the one purpose of giving it the
least possible, while extorting the most
from it. Eveu as a question of profit,
the wise rule is to care for the farm as a
hoine.—George E. Waring, in, Scribner's
Monthly.
A New Philosopher.
The celebrated German professor and
rabbi, Max Adler, has a son named Felix,
who bids fair to, beconie equally distin-
guished, but in a very heterodox way.
Young Adler lectures every Sunday fore-
noon in a large hall on Broadway, upoti

'tient Greece and Rome, and. which must
in this century give place to freedom of

Bible. It is a lamentable fact that the
hall is always crowded with a respectable

The Housewife's Luck.
With some folks everything is luck.
It is luck that hinders the dough from
rising, and not the falling of tempera-
ture below the fermenting point. It is
luck that makes the bread burn and not
the hot fire, replenished lust as the
bread was well nigh done. -It is luck
that makes all the sweetning of the
fruit pies run` out on the over bottom,
and not the neglect to jigger down the
edge of the crust, properly wetted. It
is luck that kills the - young turkeys
about as fast as they are hatched, and
not the coarae, uncooked Indian grits fed
to them, instead of loppered milk, or
meal mush cooked to perfection. It is
luck that coaxes the chickens to the gar-
den for food, instead of to the coop or
barnyard ; luck and. "the cat" that
breaks the dishes, Spills the milk, burns
the steak, "bitters" the cream and em-
bitters the life of all who come in contact
with the luckless persons who lay every-
thing to luck."—Country Gentleman.

A poor man who had a large family

was proposed to hold a prayer -meeting
at his house. The meeting was led by
Deacon Brown. A loud kilo& at the

• A Bishops Humor.
Bishop Marley had a good. deal of the
humor of Swift. Once, whedthe footman
was out of the way, he ordered the coach-
man to fetch some water from the well.
Te this the coa.eliman objected, that his
business was to drive, not to run on
errands. "Well, then," said. Marley,
"bring out the coach and four, set the
pitcher inside, and drive to the well ;"—
a service which was several times repeat-
ed, to the great amusement of the vil-
