Correspondence.
SAN FRANCISCO, Deq’, 1880.
The great cry of our American people is
to stop emigration. Let them stop where
they belong, to their homes in the old coun—
try. There is not enough work now for
those that are here, and we can hardly sup.-
port our families; this-is the ideaof every
mechanicand laborer throughout the East,
Let him takesgip by the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad illichfilfitp sm Francisco and he.
will not utter- those foolish ideas again, but.
agree with that illustrious statesman when he
uttered those memorable .wordsth'at will live
in every human breast, when he advised this:
young men to“go West." In =,riding along
through West Virginia the traveller will see
thousands of, sores of land that is only. wait—
ing the-.hatt'tl'ofl'manto till it Beautiful it
lies, gently sloping to the sun, with its ver—
dure showing the soil rich and capable of
producing in abundance anything planted in
it. But there it lies, inviting the brawny
arm of the woodsman's axe to clear the land
and plow her fields and scatter abroad the
seed that in due time he may reap a bounti-
ful harvest that will more than compensate
him for his labor.
Hundreds of thousands of'acres lie in a
useless condition, that, with a little culti-
vation could be put intoathorough condition
that would yield bountifully. The soil in
many parts through which the road passed
looked quite rich and free from stone,a great
hindrance to'. eastern farming. .Another’sd—g
vantage they have is the climate, which is
not rigorous and 3 consequently not so long
to feed their stock- I The same conditions are
to be met with in every state we passed
through-4nd almost unlimited amount of
waste land lying idle for. the want of some
one to till it, and young men who “are new
working for a mere! pittsnce per day, hiltdly
able to ,stlpp'o‘rt thaluielves without any fami-
lies. could. Whoever-Idiots ' capital-scout
provide for tll'emselvelt= splendid homes and
in due time become independent of his more
fortunate eastern, neighbor; but too many of
the young are tooreager to center around
darge citiei,.;where at all times there is ‘a
surplus of. labor, and during the cold months
work'isdlfilcultlto procure: and then they
will assemble around some grog shop and
curse the capitalist, high tarifl, and our
demoralized government, whereas if they
would leave these large cities and strike out.
where labor is in- demand, they would not
have any reason to findifault with a govern-
’ ment that is today the best conducted on the
civilized globe.
Labor is here in demand at more than
double the price at the East. I will give
some of the prices that ‘young men may
judge whether it willQay ‘to come West or
not. Through Iowa they paid there last sea-
son 325.00 a mouth, and in Colorado manual
labor is from $30 to. $35 a month, and car-
penters and other skilled laborers from $3.50
to $5.00 a day, while a 'good herder obtains
$45 a month antfiund, which is better than
at the East. Everyone seemato find plenty
of work, and there is enough land here lying
idle to feed as many as may come for the
coming century,and if one hundred thousand
men landed upon our shores each month there
would then be a plenty of room for as many
more.
None can form the slightest conception of
the vast plsinso'f .mm'Westpouly, those that
have travclédifiWlhem; lilent‘yonriwon'

for 12000" ”miles first the railroad stretches
across this vast continent hardly a house will
be seen for hours, and occasionallyra train
flies by a little station or watering place with.
several houses, but‘nothing more, and anoth-'~
er hour’ will she speed over the extensive
plain as far as the eye can reach, without a
tree or shrub to relieve the eye dram the
- sameness ’of that niextentof territory- that
lies before you.
A more beautiful country never was adorn-
ed by the blindqu our Maker than that which
stretches out frhhi Omaha to Ogden, a dis-
tance of 1032 ’uitl'e'di ‘aqnd‘not one thousandth
part of the land is. cultivated, yet still will
the young men crowd our large cities and
towns and be helped by charity rather than
make a bold strike for themselves, and carve
out a home that they .will know is their own
and not be afraid of an officer coming at'any
moment to eject them for non-payment of
rent. Even those few- farmers that are there,
if they carried on agriculture in the same
economical manner°as lathe East would
become independent in a few years, raising
stock,_either sheep or cattle, or both; but
they build no sheds here‘for their cattle, nor
places that they can screen themselves from
the piercing winds, but all along the plains
you can see the poor creatures with their
backs all cramped up and hair straight On
their backs, facing the beating storm, with
instances where the mercury has been con-
gealed. This is not hearsay but has fallen
under my own observation, and all along the
railroad you could ss'emice cattle, .where they
had not succumbed to the piercing cold. I
remember one night while the train was
watering at Sherman (by the way the highest
point on the road, over 8,200 feet above sea
love), I saw a herd of cattle who were going
round and round in a circle in order to keep
warm, the mercury that night being 30 below
zero. The owners of these cattle think- no
more of the lives of their stock than you
would of yOur surplus cats. They provide
no food for them for the winter,and on those
plains where the wind comes from the cold
mountains and several inches of snow upon
the ground, you will see them each morning
scatter out for themselves, picking here and
there a blade of_,grass,=snd where the sage
brush grows. they’th'rlve very well, as that is
a stout bush sud grows tall enough to be
above the snow so that the cattle can get it,
and it is said to be very nutritious. The.
snow becomes very hard in a little while
after falling, and with the cold, piercing.
winds on such a prairie payoff find therayou. C
may imagine how the'poor animals mustvsuff-
fer. Do you wonder theyare, cand‘yetif,
they'took thesame care of‘them {hilt they
do in the East not one of them butgould;
be independent in twenty yearsp new
summer monthsf‘buh10 the winter. look very
dreary, as they aracovered with snow, with-
out ahohse or a tree, but the mountains on
either side of you presents a dreary scenery,
'but as the sun sends the strength of his
power dewn‘hn‘ melts it,'and the green grass
about tWO ire ‘ ‘7 looking like a beauti-
ful carpet s‘\ yer the great expanse,
then there can'ii‘efihud nothing upon the
plains‘utrbre beautiful,"with thousands of an-
telopes feeding upon her extensive plains.
Thousands of deer feed there, and while
passing along many of the gentlemen shot at
them with their rifles from . the car windows
as they were running thirty miles an hour.
I never saw any fall but they all scumpered
away very lirely as though they were some—
what frightened.
Much has been written about the scenery
of the Rocky Mountains, and therefore I will
n..t write but a few words. In one or two
instance-s. jusr wanrc arriving at Echo City,
the SCHI'T)‘ wus‘as line as any that could be
St't'll in Mexico, but outside from thatthc
Rockies are u very poor substitute for moun—
tains—they are nothing more than hills, not
so high as the Highlands of the Hudson nor
half so;grand. They do not lift themselves
into lofty, stupenduous peaks such as are
seen in crossing the Sierras or in ascending
the lofty. mountains of Mexico or those of
Peru, and the tourist that would pour the
wealth of his pen upon them are those that
never saw them. How pleasant it is to sit
in your parlor and write upon the beauty of
sea. life, of- the glorious sunset, of the rip—
‘ pling waves that gently 'roll ahead of the
noble. ship, or sometimes with anger stirred
into raging billows, while you watch the
noble shark playing along the bow of the
ship waiting patiently for his delicate morsel,
or the porpoise playing in schools around the
ship as you stand over the gt'rnwale watching
them. This is all very pleasant to sit and
read about, but go and be out in one of
the storms, when the ship is creaking from
stem to stern, and the wild waves lurching
over her sides with all the fury of her
energy, while one moment the ship is point-
ing heavenward and the next she is lashed
between the very jaws of death, down, down
as though she would never rise again, with a
peculiar feeling at your stomachthat you
cannot describe, and which you do not wish
to realize again; you would- not then think
that sea life was so pleasant. Yet the
man that writes about the charms of sea life
isa good deal like the one that can sit at
home and write about the lofty summits of
the Rocky’s. '
In grandeur and beauty. with one or two
exceptions, there is perhaps no scenery equal
to that in passing from Orizara to Buena del
Monte, in Mexico, the home of the Monte-
zumas. Here is nature displayed in its
wildest aspect; cascades that make a leap of
a thousand feet, lofty summits whose sides
3ft is impossible to scale, whose peaks pierce
the very clouds of heaven and from their
precipices one can look down in almost a
perpendicular descent from the temperate to
gtorrid zone. Here is beauty; but not so on
those cold, drearyzhills of the the Rockys.
;Let us pass along. I do not even wish to
notice them as every schoolboy is familiar
.with its scenery. We run a little beyond
Truckee, through a snow shed 38 miles long,
with snow twelve feet deep on a level. This
is at the summit of the Sierras, and in four
hours we are in -a climate where snow is
unknown; where frost spreads no soft
curtain of white upon the ground and the
,trees are in fall foliage. What a contrast to
the dreary region that we have left behind
us. It is like merging from the North Pole
to the tropics. While the train stopped for
an hour at Sacramento I took a wdk down
.tonthe city and saw all the green vegetables,
such as you see .here earl‘ in the, fail. The
land in passing from cramento to San.
Francisco is perhaps as fine as any in the
whole State. It is very level and of a dark
color, much of it as black as pest and level
as a floor. They here plow with what they
call gang plows; they do not sit upon them
but guide themby a handle in the rear, there
being three plows which are drawn by six
horses. It. turns it over very smoothly,
hardly leaving any stubble above ground.
Ialso saw many fine peach, apple and pear
orchards,which looked very fine and healthy.
The markets are supplied with everything
the same .n New York, but oranges,apples
and bananas especially are much higher than
the same in New York. and perhaps there is
no city in the world where so great a variety
of fruit can be purchased so reasonably as in
this city. The city of San Francisco now
looks very pretty as the rainy season has set
in, and the’ grass looks as green and the cli -
mate as pleasant as it does east in the month
of May. Oranges will soon begin to come in
:from Los Angelos, where a finer crop of that
fruit has never been known. The trees are
bending down with the weight of the fruit,
sud as soon as’ they begin to come in the
price will fall, .
3 San Francisco is a very pretty city; the
streets are many of them wide and quite
clean. The buildings are large and well
stOckcd with goods. The post office is a
large building fronting on two streets and
located in nearly the center of the city as far
as I could judge. The court house is not far
uway, set back from the street with a beauti-
i’ul lawn in front; with its bright green grass,
it‘ is ‘the prettiest thing 1‘ sea while in
the city. There is a great all of shipping
lit present going on and the vessels are taxed
:tvith all they can do; Everywhere are hand-
bills postedvupfor men to help unload them.
There is'a very fine bay, and hundreds, per-
haps thousands of- shipa‘could anchor there
tafely from the heavy storm raging outside.
This city is noted for her Chinesepopulation,
sgainst which a certain class is very bitter,
which in my;next I will write upon.

Christmas was'quietly though generally
observed by the people in Darien. All the
places of business Were closed and many of
the families had Christmas trees on Christ-
mas eve. -
On Saturday evening there was a delightful
service in the Congregational church, for the
Sunday School, The singing was good and
the tree a thing of. beauty. A number of
young ladies read Christmas selections and
rendered them very well indeed. The dia—
logue by a number of little girls was very
interesting and whould have been more so to
those in the rear of the audience had some
of them spoken a' little louder. Mal-ion
Whitney did nicely in reciting a little poem
entitled “I did not think." “The three
kings of Orient," added much to the occa—
sion. But the chief feature of the evening
was a short visit from Old Santa. Superin-
tendent Scofieltl has reasons for grateful
pride in view of lhc prosperity of his school.

“There are no heroes now, the race is dead ;”
The gay and happy Julia smiling said,
Betwixt the changes of the'dance, I~1 know
The last were killed by cannon long ago.
“And as for heroines,—my friend, like you,
They science 'stead of sentiment pursue." ‘
Across the sonthland swept a bitter cry,—
“Hclp us I Have pity, for we die, we die!
“In every house one lieth sick or dead.
For grief our hearts Cannot be comforted.”
Like a great sob that prayer shook all the
land.
And gold, and strength of skill brain
and
. hand ~
Were offered as to God to stay the woe
That o'er the land was going to and fro.
Among the women nurses one most fair
There was, blue-eyed, with honey-colored
hair
“Where help is nestled most, send me," she
said.
They sent her to a spot whence all had fled,
1
Save the plaguelstricken. Poverty and sin
Had wrestled there with all their frightful
.kin.
But brave unflinching, went the blueeyed
nurse,’ .
To tend and watch sick beggars, thieves,—
and worse.
Day after day the dank; warm fog and rain
Made carnival for death, aim grief and pain
Walled up to God; yet calm, Irom bed to
bed,
She walked betwixt the dying and the dead.
The hot sun, like a golden flame. shone down
Upon the silent, fever-stricken town,‘
And men took heart ; but in an attic, lay ‘
The fair-haired stranger woman all the day;
Nor spake to all the weeping folk who came
To sob a fervent blessing on her name.
And long befbrc a new day;dawned, they hid
Her body ’neath a roughfhewn cofiln lid,
Aud‘quickly buried it, crying, “Alas I
The brave, true soul has fled! Alas! alas!
"For sorrsw all our hearts are like. to break :
We hold all women higher for her sake.”

The fun is of very ancient origin. Tracing
its history, the Journal (1’ Hygiene states that
the papyrus was one of the first plants used
in making fans. In ancient Greece, the
first fans were made of branches of myrtle,
acacia and plane tree; It was not until the
fifth century 0. that the peacock was
known in Gre and from this epoch dates
the use among Grecian ladies of the pea—
cock’s tall as a new and elegant kind of fan.
As the fan-makers’ are extended, the use of
feathers alone came to be discarded, as they
were found too pliable, and the idea was
conceived~ of placing between each pair of
feathers a thin strip of wood.‘ Fans are
often mentioned in Latin authors.- Plautus
refers to the flabell'flrra or female slaves,
who carried parasols and fans to shade and
drive away flies from their mistresses. Fans
of peacock‘s feathers remained in fashion
through the middle agesnp to the seven—
teenth century, not. only in Italy but in
England and France. Fans of ostrich feath-
ers came into favor gradually, excluding
those of peacock feathers, and such fans ap-
pear in Titian’s pictures. Leaves of palm
tr'ees, reeds, and odoriferous woods are
among the substances of which fans are now
being made in foreign countries.
Herr Reulaux, a German writer, has de;

like the chiming of bells.
It is seriously asserted by a French scien-

According to Mr. S. E. Peel, several vari-
eties of ants possess the power of producing
distinctly audible sounds. He has heard some
of these insects at a distance of twenty or
thirty feet, the noise being produced by the
scraping of the horny apex of the abdomen
three times in rapid succession against the
dry leavc‘3f the nest. ,
The solar engine, invented by. M. Mouchot,
has been so improved by M. Pifre that eighty
per cent. of the sun’s heat is made available
for use, while M. Mouchot has never been
able to utilize more than fifty per cent.
This increase I! efficiency id due to change
of the form of the reflectors and the heaters.

The phenomenon of phosphorescent fresh
meat has been phserved in France. Some
cutlets of raw pork shone so brightly in the
dark that it was possible by the aid of the
li ht thus furnished to tell the time by the
w h. The meat did not otherwise differ
in appearance ”odor from common meat.
The phosphor ence disappeared on the
sixth or seventh day. Entire freshness seem-
ed to be a condition of the lnminosity,.so
that when the meat began to smell its bright.

A scientist of Japan has found that the
skin-furrows at the tips of the fingers vary
in different individuals; and he thinks it

A late scientific writer defines instinct as
“nothing else than an obscure remembrance
of experiences which were made by earlier
generations. A clear remembrance which ex-
tend over the boundaries of our individual
life has, it is true, not yet been found among
men, but this does not prove anything
against the above assertion. Such a remem-
brance we do notfiposscss, even for the com-
plete period of our present life. Our
memory does not extend back to the first
years of our infancy. It is interrupted by
sleep; it may be strengthened by exercise
or weakened by neglect; it may be interrupt-
ed by many abnormal states by which life
itself is not interrupted. Whether in dreams
~ or in conditions of abnormal nervous excite— .
ment, in hysterics or other sickness, memory
is increased, so that it really extends over
the period of our so-called individual life, is
qa uestion which, although much abused by
humbugs and imposters. might still arrest the
attention ,whether the memory of man‘ has
Isnch an extension, and though even for the
human race the contrary may be proven, it
nevertheless might be possible that some
animals are endowed with a memory which
reaches far beyond their so-called individual
existence.” .

Mentor has two post offices. The one at
which General Garfield receives his mail is
West Mentor, and L. H. Luse, M. D., the
village physician, is postmaster. Six mails
arrive and depart daily, and every one of
them brings a large amount of matter for
General Garfield. The post office is half a'
mile distant from Gen. Garfield’s residence,
and hg often goes there on horseback and
carries home asack of mail on the pommel
of his saddle. The General is a good horse-
man, and his manly form shows to good ad—
vantage in the saddle. I have seldom seen a
more striking figure than this "man on
horseback” presents as he gallops down the
road, erect and graceful in the saddle as
a trained cavalryman, but dressed likc«a
plain farmer, and the broad brim of. his
slouch hat flapping in the wind. His neigh-
bors never tire of gazing at him as he passes
, by in this fashion. and his unassuming man-
ners help to confirm them in the belief which
they most devoutly cherish, and which they
emphatically declare on every proper occasion
that “he is the greatest man in the world."
The other day General Garfield desired to
see a gentleman _who lived in a remote part
of the town, and went to his house on horse-
back. Riding up to the gate he halloed in
the familiar manner which is customary
among neighbors in this country, and the
lady of the house came to the door. The
horseman inquired whether her husband was
at home. and being told that he was not,
requested the lady to tell him to call at his
(the speaker's) house to see about a certain
matter of business. The lady had never
seen General Garfield, except on public
occasions, and in his farmer’s garb she did
not recognize him. “If you will tell me
where you live,” she answered, “I will tell
my husband to ‘at your house." “My
name is Garfield,” said the Gen. modestly.
And that lady will probably never forget her
embarrassment and mortification at‘ not
recognizing her distinguished townsman
- before he made himself known.
General Garfield is kind and courteous to
poor and humble strangers as he is to all his
townspeople. Some of the letters which he
receives from such people are. very amusing,
and not a few are pathetic in their appeals
for favors. I could fill a volume with inci—
dents illnstrating his kindness of heart.
Recently he.received a letter from a woman
stating that her husband was disabled, and
that her family was destitute. Sne also sta-
ted that her husband was entitled toa pension
which he had never received, and besought
General Garfield to obtain it for him. She
did not give her husband’s name, nor state
on what account he could ask for a pension.
The General wrote a kind reply, pointing
out these important omissions, but assuming
that her husband had been a‘soldier,gave her
minute instructions as to the manner in
which an application for a pension should be
made. Another woman, who evidently has
confidence in the better half of mankind,
wrote to Mrs; Garfield to this effect: “We
are very poor. My husband is competent to
fill the office of postmaster in this village, ‘
and if General Garfield will give him the
office I will give you a switch made of my
own hair.” A Michigan lady applied for a
post office, apparently confident that her
application will be favorably considered,
because, as she alleged, she attended a
teachers’ institute twenty years ago at which
she heard General Garfield deliver “a lecture
on grammar, which was just splendid!" A
lady who appears to believe in the rule,
“first come, first served," came here from a
distant State soon after the Chicago Conven-
tion and applied for an office. She came
again a few days ago. General Garfield
listened with apparent patience to her story,
and then gravely said: “Madame, it is not in
my power to do anything for you. I am out
of ofiice myself.” '
Some of the presents which the President-
elect receives are as quaint" and unassuming
as are some of the applications for office.
Recently an honest German,of Pennsylvania,
who is engaged in the manufacture of rustic
chairs, came here, bringing with him a speci-
men of his handiwork for General Garfield’s
use. It is a rustic chair made entirely of
hickory withés,very curiously and ingenious-
ly wrought together. In the center of the
back is a representation of a canal boat, made
of the same material as the rest of the chair.
In its way, it is an elaborate and artistic
piece of work, and the maker was very
proud of: it. When he arrived with the
chair at_the railway station he was met by
the ubiquitous interviewer, who said: “You
want an ofiice, of course P" “Mein Gott, nol”
replied the chairmaker. “I shust vent to see
Sheneral Garfieldt—und advertise main
.rlzaz’rs l" A tobacco firm in one of the large
cities sent an invoice of smoking tobacco-a
present, I fear, which is not appreciated, as
General Garfield and the gentlemen about
him do not indulge in the pleasures of the
pipe. A few boxes of cigars might have had
a warm r reception. ,
5* cidents are the bubbles on the sur-
6
face . General Garfield's daily life, but
below is a deep, still current of earnest
thoughtfulness, careful study of political
problems, and diligent preparation for 'ie
great duties and responsibilities of the near
future. Never did a man more earnestly
and conscientiously desire to serve his coun-
try ably and unselfishly; and although he is
temporarily out of office, he is devoting him-
self day and night to study and labor for the
public good. His extensive correspondence
is attended to with scrupulous care,and every
visitor is accorded as much time and courtesy
as the inexorable demands of business will
permit. Fortunately his physical basis is ex-
ceptionally sound ud substantial. If it were
not, his health would be broken under the
heavy burdens which his hard master, the
p'uhlie, imposes upon him. .And these bur-
dens will increas‘e in number and weight as
the time for his inauguration draws nearer.

Very useful on a dressing table are little
baskets of three or four inches in diameter,
just large enough to hold a spool of black cot-
ton, one of white, a thimble, needle book and a
tiny pair of scissors. Baskets of this kind
are to be had resting on three legs, d may
with a little patience and ingenuity“ made
exceedingly pretty as well as useful. They
should be carefully lined with a little gay-
colored silk or satin and have asmall pocket,
just large enough for a thimble, tacked in-
side, and site this should be fastened a
tiny stuff 11 cushion. The scissors should
have a sheath of the‘same color as the lining,
if possible, and the needle book should be
small but convenient for. holding two flat
papers of needles, and aleaf or two of fine
fiannel._ A little cord round the edge of the
basket IS a great improvement and finish.
Such are some of the trifies which may' be
made as presents for those who will value '
the gift as a part of the giver, because it is
her own handiwork.
