-An Open Letter from Stauntmi,
Virginia.
REv.J.‘ H.WARREN,D. D.,SAN Fnanmsaoflm .
DEAR Bnornmn—l find in the Norwalk
0:5an7:; that has just reached me, a letter
from you copied from the Colton (Cal) Semi
Tropical, and t) wtich it seems necessary [toy
reply. This letter seems to have been called
forth from one that I wrote last winter to
Mrs. Legrand Lockwood, and which wae
written in reply to one from herself, in which
she states that her sons thought of going to
Southern California, andundérétandiug that
I had been their. at the suggestion'of Rev.
S. B. S. Bisséli, she wrote me asking for
my advice, She Stated that her-sons were
accustomed only to tlie.conveuiences, and
luxuries of City life, and'tliore was atone of
sadness and regret running throughher let-
ter, an account of their inclination to take
such a step. She also stated that her _ friend
Mr. Bisscll looked upon the thing'as chimeri-e '
cal, and she urged me to tell her what I
thought about it. My. first thought was to'
pay no attcmi 11'! to the letter; but her re-
qurst was so pressing that I finally concluded,
to answer it, not supposing that what was
written confidentially-and in kindness, and.
not for the public eye, would be proclaimed ;
upon the housetop. But although its publi- _
\ cation shows a great lackof christian court-?
esy not to say, common -'civ‘ility!, yet'I do not
particularly regret it. And let me be un-
derstood that what I said' and all that I said
to her bad reference not to what Riverside is
new, but to what'it'was three years ago,
since which time I have known but little of
its history. If, as your letter intimates, it
has porpered as greatly as its moat enthus-
iastic friends expected and become almost a
veritable eden, I am glad of it,
When I'had written an article on Lower
Caliornia whilst sojburning' there, I read it
to a gentleman at’tvhos‘e request I wrote it,
and had been in Riverside and its. neighbor-
hood about two years seeking health. His
name was Bailey, ' andiI am sorry to say that
he is dead; all‘who knew him respected him.
When I had read it to him I asked him if it
was true. His reply was, “Yes, only I do
not think that the language is Strong
enough.”
Also, whilst boarding at Riverside I re-
ceived a letter from an individual of my
native town asking me whether I thought it
would be well for-him to move his family
to Lower California. I read the letter to Mr.
Twogood in whose family I was boarding,
and said to him, "what shall I say'in reply?’
His answer was, ‘.‘ Tell him not to come." To
another person, and one of the most indus-
trious and thrifty in Riverside, I put the
question one- day when dining at his house,
“Are you sorry that you came her"? “Sorry
v-lie'says—tliat is no name for it. I have prop.
erty here and it is not for my interest to say
anyhing against the place, but I would not ad
vise any one to come to Riverside, ’to live.
Also aPhysician and Druggist in Riverside
whose name I cannot now recall, told me of
his own accord that the most truthful and
accurate account of the place he had ever
seen, was in an article I had written, and
which was published in the Congregation-
alist. ' ’ '
Several also who had} made purchas-
es of land told me that if it was possible fur
them to dispose of their property they would
be glad to do so and return to the East. I
state these facts that you may know that there
were those] three years ago whose opinion
of the condition and prospects of Riverside
did not differ from my own,'and if it has
so niarvellously changed from what it was
when I was there, and the people are reaping
such large revenue for their investments and
toils, I am gold of it. If the “Northers,” have
ceased to blow, and untimely frosts" to bite,
and blazing suns to burn and parch, and
gophers to destroy, I am glad of it. I cherish
no other but the kindest feelings towards the
people. The families with which I. was
intimate I learned to lovt
I will .also take your report of Riverside
as strictly true and not “made out of wholly
cloth," and if any one feels disposed to go
thither for health, or to make a fortune by
speculation or by raising semi-tropical fruits
he cando so. .But I cannot advise any one
to this end. I shall still say to«tl.e invalid
“Go to Florida rather than to Lower Cali-
fornia," and to the man who wishes to Earn
a living and make himself comfortable, I.
say, “If you cannot do it in the East, you can
not do it in Riverside." -Hundreds,as you well
know, have gone to,this"‘Ncw Italy” only '
to be disappointed ; and woe. be to the man
who by his extravagant reports of the' same
leads men to make the greatest mistakes of
their lives. Blow your silver trumpet loudly,
good brother, from' the hills of San Francisco
and let it ring’across the prairies of the,West
and even the hills and through the forests:of
the East, and tell all the people of thisland of
Beulah, but let not the sound he of. such
a nature that they who listen to it and follow
it shall afterward say, “I wish that'I had
never heard it." , ~
Thanks for the “specimen bricks," though.
1 have not as yet seen them. Fraternally,
and as of old, truly yours. ‘ Z. B. Bonn.

Robinson a Murphy man were then already
formed; and he Was expelled from college for
drunkenness before, the’ conclusion of his
freshman year‘. \Ve' understand that in about
four years he 'spent a fortune _of- $70,000.

Just How It‘Is!
Don Piatt’s “Capital,” the democratic pa-
per, par excellence, at Washington, gives the
following truthful portraiture of its own par-
ty’s success in running that branch of the
government where Confederate democracy
just now has full sway:
with the investigation of Colonel Polk have
reported to the House a resolutibn authoriz-
ing the abolition of his office. It would be
well if they included that of the clerk, ser-
geant-at-arms and postmaster of the House.
It-would be better still if they included the
Democratic party itself.
The distribution of patronage by the Dem-
ocratic House has been simply shameful.
There is not a thoughtful man in the country
cognizant of the fact who does not shudder
at the thought of such men having control
of the civil service of the general govern-
ment. When the Democratic Congress first
met the army of applicants suggested the
emptying of all thepoor~liouses and peniten-
[ltll’lts of the country. There never had been
seen in Washington before such a crowd of
disreputableJooking men, and each member
of the House had a little company at his
bar-k, and every senator had a brigade. They
put up at hotels, passed from that to cheap
boarding-houses, and wound up in alleys,
station-houses and cellars. From these the
5155.75.51.15. House had to make their so
lection. How they succeeded Fitzhugh and
Polk can answer.
The clerk, driven by clamor from outside
and pressure within; was forced to" discharge
the librarian, a gentleman of literary attain-
ments, but no pronounced political opinions.
It is somewhat necessary .for a librarian to
know something about books; but the clerk
could find no one under: him thus qualified,
although he began with an ex-congressman
and ended with a Democratic journalist. A
member- of the House has the same need of
a book that a western traveler was told by a
scout, he (the scout) had for a pistol. “You
might not want to use it," he said, “for a
year or more. When you do you want it
mighty bad." _
The clerk, suffering from the accumulation
of complaints over the inccmpetency of his
librarian, was forced to call back a negro
messenger, who had served in the place for
some years, and install him as librarian, and
thus we have the somewhat ludicrous fact of
a capable gentleman being turned out because
of his Republican principles.'and a man put
in who is a black Republican both by name
and nature. ‘
In the same department we find a notorious
lobby agent kept in place by the Washington
Gas Co. because of his readiness to receipt
the gas bills of members.
We could fill our columns with facts illus-
trative of [this condition of affairs, but we
content ourselves with the evidence and re
port made in the case of Colonel Polk. This
unhappy old gentleman fell a victim to the
fierce greed of the members who elected him
doorkceper. They crowded in on him peo-
ple who stole ; people who slept in members’
chairs and sacred so loud they disturbed the
proceedings; fellows who were Willing to
take other men's pay for work they did not
the work for half the pay. He had more
pages and door hangers pulmed off on him
than his pay-roll could carry. and each mem-
ber promised him to make it.all right in the
coming appropriation.
man labored and pcrspired, prayerfully at
times, but mostly with much profanity, and
all the while paying money out of his own
pocket to cover deficits and continue the bar-
mony. Now his reward is to be kicked into
. the street ignominiously, and this when he is
no more to blame than the late Alikoond 'of
Swat.” - '
The practice of advertising a little now and
then may be of some benefit, but as a con.
temporary remarks: “It isonly-adrop in the
buckctcompared with thestanding advertise-
ment in the columns of an influential and
respectable newspaper." All the prosperous
business men of to day, who have made their
money legitimately, have done it by steady,
persistent advertising.— Wash. Daily Star.

And so he loves me, though they said
, No lover e'er would come to me—
That I should ne'er be wooed or wed,
‘Or nurse 8. child upon my knee;
They wcrc’so sure our should miss ,
The woman’s heritage of bliss. ,
And I, too, in the sad, gray hours,
When through low clouds no sunlight shone,
And when the slow September showers
Seemed'naturc's tearsjfor summer gone,
I murmured with a sadglongnigh,
“My, Summer'also hnsgoncby.”
Butnow '_I know that whatto me

Love's sunlight brighten everything ;
He says he loves me, audio-div
My year rolls back to early‘May.
How did it come? I ask cfvhim ;
He says .myface is sweetiau‘d fair;
And yet tome :tliese eye‘s seem dim,
And on this brow are lines of care;
But now these eyes shall yet be bright,
And once again thisbrow grow light.
He loves me! loves me! I repeat
The biest assurance every hour ;
And now the wine of life is swett
' 'l'hat yesterday was sharp and sour ;’
Now I can drink, with spirit bold,
Love’s nectar from a cup of gold.
I look through long, slow-coming years,
Made by his love all bright and fair;
I look around through'happy tears,
And see his image cverwyhere ;
In his great love I breathe and live;
If it be sin, dear God, forgive.
It cannot be. Since I have known
His love, God's love seems dearer, too ;
He has come near to me and shown
What for the liumblest he can do.
Life’s faithful fingers intertwinc
The human love with the divine.
0 love, love, love! 0 blessed word,
That never did I understand ‘
Till in my ear his voice I heard
And felt the pressure of his hand.
No more I walk with eyes cast down;
I am his queen, love is my crown.

In marrying make your own match; do
not marry any man to get rid of him, or to
oblige or to save him. The man who would
go to destruction without you will be quite as
likely to go with you, and perhaps drag you
along. Do not marry in haste, lest you
repeat at leisure. Do not marry for a home
and a living, when by taking care of your
health you can earn your own living. Do‘
not let aunts, father’s or mothers sell you
for money or position .into bondage,:tears
and life-long misery, which‘you aloue‘must
endure. Do not place yourself habitually in
-the society of any suitor until you have de-
cided the question of marriage; human wills
are weak, and people often bewildered, and
do not know their error until it is to late. Get
away from their influence, settle your head
and make up, your mind alone. _ A promise
may be made in a moment of sympathy, or
even half delirious ecstacy, which must be
redeemed through years of sorrow, toil and
pain. 120 not trust your happiness in the'
keeping of one who has no heart, no head,
no health. Beware of the insane blood and
those who use ardent spirits; shun the man
who ever gets intoxicated. Do not rush
thoughtlessly, hastily into wedded life, con-
trary to the counsel of your friends. Love
can wait; that which cannot wait is some-
thing of a different character.

“110w Women Love Dress.”
BY W. W. CRANE.
He sat by a window at twilight,
And placidly puffed his cigar,
He gazed on a neighboring sky-light,
And thought of his bank stock at par.
Two voices came upward, as high as
The place where he sat, from the street ~
Two ladies, on “gored” and on “bias,” ’
Were holding communion sweet.
Then he mused on feminine folly
And fashion’s absurd excess;
And he said with a tone melancholy :
“How women do rave over dress!
“Just get any two of them started
And they’ll talk for a month about
clothes.” ~
He spoke like a hero, stronglicarted,
Who all such frivolity loathes.
“And the way they oppress the poor crea-
tures '
\Vho build all those dresses and things !
They’d like to make marks on their fea-
lures
For a little mistake in the strings."
Here a knock at the door. T lien a waiter
And a new suit of garments appear.
“Oh, they’ve come, have they? Strange
they’re no later.
Quick, light up the whole chandelier!"
One glance from a proper position
Sufiices their fate to decide;
The linings are only Silesian,
The trowsers a trifle too wide.
“\Vell, if I don’t pitch into that Schindler !
I never did see such a bilk.
\Vhy I told the outrageous old swindlcl‘
I wanted the linings half silk!
“Oh, hang all the scoundrely tailors!
The collar’s a half-inch too high.
The trowsers—They might be a sailor‘s!
Now wouldn’t I look like a. guy 1’”
Each glance makes him more and more
irate. '
“Why, they look even worse from be.
hiudl
I’ll blow up the sneaking old pirate;
I’ll give him a piece of my mind.
“I’m done with the scoundrel that’s certain.
Now if ever I saw such a sight
May I be eternally ” (Curtain!
The rest wouldn’t suit ears polite.)

Kcraiiiikal Krazc.
Of all the diseases that ever were known
Since Noah’s unfortunate days,
The strangest that yet has afflicted mankind
Is the present kcramikal kraze—
Ke-ra—mi-kal—
Oh, yes; the keramikal kraze !
You may spell it ceramical craze, if
choose
To follow illiterate ways;
But modern kultcha kommasds that it should
Be spell-ed keramikal kraze—
Ke-ra-mi—kal—
You know—the keramikal kraze.
you
Whoever is seized with his lilll'lOllS kom-
plaint,
Very soon all the symptoms betrays—
And, by gum, every pot, mug and jug in the
house
With birds, bugs and Japanese blaze!
Ke-ra-mi-kal !
For such is keramikal kraze.
By and by, when this lancer epidemic is o’er—
The ash man will stand in amaze
To find all the barrels so full of “onld pots”—
The remains of keramikal krazc—
Kc-ra-mi-kal—
Then adieu to keramikal kraze!

Foreign Competition in Great
Brilian.
“Medium locks of American make,” said a
manufacturer to us the other day, “are being
sold in Bristol at prices which we cannot
touch.” The diligence of the representatives
of American hardware firms is considerable.
We have previously pointed out numerous
instances of their activity on this side. Not
the lock makers and light iron founders of
Stafiordshire alone complain, but likewise
the saw makers of Sheffield and Birmingham.
Iron-mongers no more than other distributors
desire to break away from old connections,
but the representatives of American firms so
persistantly thrust their goods before them,
and are so successful in demonstrating their
merits, that it is impossible to resist the tide
of influence that results. So excellent are
some of the American saws, that if the Brit-
ish saw makers do not adopt the style they
will have to loose a large proportion of the
orders which they have for a long time been
executing, but which are smaller as the result
of the last journey than for some time past.
Other American hardwares, too, will certainly
get into increasing favor on this side if our
n1 anufacturers continue to deem it infra dig
to adopt some of the American processes and
patterns. The trouble is, doubtless much
greater in dealing with 11.0 British operative,
than with the American; and the variety so
much desired bya shop keeper is more at-
tainable in American than Britisu hardwares.
Makers would do well to possess themselves
of the first volume of the report of the British
judges at the Philadelphia Internatimal Ex-
hibition, which is now being circulated.
Therein much valuable information is given
touching metal wares. “Locks, hinges and
bolts, furniture, spikes and nails” are report-
ed upon by Mr. James Bain, lord provost of
Glasgow. Mr. Bain, upon the question of
variety, for example, points out that in Eng-
land we have only a few patterns of stair
rods, and those mostly in brass, whereas
the Americans exhibited about thirty differ -
ent patterns, all of them artistic, many of
them exceedingly so, in brass, in various
shades of bronze, and particularly in a coat-
ing of nickel. Touching this last means of
ornamentation the lord provost says’: “I
think our manufacturers should specially in-
terest themselves in the action taken by the
Americans in the use of this metal. " He then
goes on to mention that in America the iron-
mongery of a building, such as door-knobs,
hinges, etc., is usually coated with nickel,
and the result is lightness and brightness.
Their stove fronts, door plates and other
articles are also coated with nickel. Upon
the saw trade, Mr. John Anderson, C. E,
sounds this significant note of warnings:
"The men of Sheffield will find that they
cannot afford to fall back on these compe-
titions, whatever the trouble orexpensc may
be, and nothing less than fighting the front
of every encounter will maintain our pres-
tige.
The advices last received from Australia ‘
and New Zealand contain an increasing num-
ber of orders for American made hardware.
Simultaneously English merchants are being
required by buyers in Sydney to supply
American made steel, which the buyers in-
timat possesses, in their behalf, some advan-
tages over that of Sheffield. The Americans
have clearly .not pushed business, whether
at the antipodes or in England, in vain.
They have reason to be encouraged by what
they have done. That they have this view
would seem to be infertablc from the state-
ment now to hand that “Philadelphia mer-
chants are moving to introduce manufactured
goods of that city and state into Great Brit.
ain by the establishment of headquarters in
a number of leading towns in the kingdom.
The first shipment of goods is_about to be
dispatched. This will have the effect of in-
ducing the commercial men of New York
and other cities to move in a similiar manner.’
And as we write the information reaches us
that the representative of a large American
sadderly and harness house has just been in
Walsail with samples of “superior goods,”
and has succeeded in obtaining a number of
orders. Such an event,in the very capital
of saddcrly and harness, should indeed put
manufacturers on the alert—London Iron
manger.
