Aug. 22nd. 1SML A brief desoriptloD of my visit to California will give my friends a partial idea of wbut I have witnessed In the five months slnoe I left Ring- wood, IlL I arrived In Stockton April 3d. WM met at the Depot by my son, J. B. Hall, whom I bad not Men for fifteen yean, and waa accompanied to his beautiful home and there met rdr the flrst time hia wife and my three grandson*, and although I had left only five days before a country all covered with «iow I found waiting for my flrst dinner new potatoes and green pe «s. and the oountry covered with flowers and green fields equal to June in Ullnoi*. During April there was oonslderdle rain but slnoe th*t time there has not been a sprinkle and they tell me they do not look for any until November. All summer the wind has been In the north. Wheat seems to be the main crop raised here, although there Is a large acreage of barley. Grape culture Is also a large business wltu many farmers, some bavh>g as manv as fifteen hundred acres. The grape are sold in San Fraucisco for table use to quite an extent, but tbe most 01 them are made iuto wine of yarious kinds, the principle ones beiug Pari, Sherry, claret, Ziufendell, and several others. Also a great deal ol brandy Is made from tbe grape. The grape crop this year Is very large, 1 saw one, cluster to day that weighed five pouuds and they were not lull grown, beln< still green. The wtieat crop is ouly about one half a crop this year on accouat of It being too wet last winter,bu*I don't kuow wuai it would have been had there been a lull crop, for I uever saw so muuu wheat In my li»e before as is coming into Stockton now days. It is belli* hauled In every kind of an outfit, i'here are on an average fi<ty carload?, with 15 tons on each car brought lu every day and large boat loads that oome from the southern part of the San Joaquin Valley, brought down the the San Joaquin river, the street* being lined with teams. Now let- mf tell you bow the-large farmers bring lu their wh«au They hitch three and tour wagons together and put Iroui ten to eighteen mules or horses ou them* all being driven by one man. WHO has a saddle on the nigh wheeler where he rides and drives them with one line, called a j^rk line I hey generally put on from 900 to 300 sacks, weighing from 15 to 20 tons. Wheat Is mostly put In tbe ware houses until they get through hauling and then sold In one lot whenever thf priceB suits their fancy. Wheat is no v fringing about tl,40 per hundred wltt> an advance nearly every d*y. They have two large flour mills here In Stockton, thfct run day aod night, making one thousand barrels of flour a day each. It takes six thousand bushels of wheat a day to keep eaci> of them running. One" would think they would use up all tbe wheat raised in this valley but they do not use on*- hundreth part of it. The most of it goes to Liverpool, Englaud. The country around here Is mostly as level a« prairie and very fertile. 1 have r >dden over a great deal of the oountry around Stockton, haviog been out some distance on every road thai goes out of this place. About ten miles North of here is one of th»- greatest Watermeiou couutrles I ever heard of. 'There are over two tb >u sand acres In Melons this year The) raise ihem for the whole State. They are as common as apples. Tou can buy them for five or ten cents apiece that weigh from 30 to 30 pound*- eacb. Fruit of all kiuds does well nere. I have seen peaches that mea sured thirteen Inches around and ol the finest flavor, and such Oranges as they raise here In California must b** seen to be appreslated. They are Im­ mense boib io aice and flavor, Tou will find people here from all parts of tbe world but as a general thing a good class of eastern people seem to be the leading citizens of Stockton. California people seem to be tbe most liberal people In tbe world, five oent pieces being tbe smallest change they seem to have or want In circulation. I will give a list of the different branches of business carried on in Stockton. We hear the whistle blow­ ing from fifty different steam works, divided up in all kinds of manufactur­ ing, We have 12 Carriage Factories, 7 Combined Harvester Works, 4 Foun­ dries, 2 Steam Laundries, 1 Broom Factory 1 Paper Ml 1, 1 Wollen Mill, 1 Ice Factory, 2 Flour Mills, 2 Tanner' lee, 2 SoAp Factories, 4 Plaining Mills, 12 Horse Shoeing Shops, 15 Shoe Makers Shopa, 6 Harness Shops. 35 Grocery Stores, 10 Dry Goods Stores. 9 Clothing Stores, 8 Millinery Stores', 12 Tailor Shops, 8 Drug Stores, 15 Fruit and Vegetable Stores, 5 Fish Markets, 10 Hardware Stores, 10 Cigars and lobaco Stores, 5 Crockery Stores. 2 Book Stores, 12 Shoe Stores, 7 Furniture Stores, ito Saloois, 16 Hotels, 15 Bestauranta, 4 Junk Stores, 8 Grain Buyers, 7 Banking Houses, 6 Jewelry Stores, 1 Largo Lumber Yards, 18 Doctors, 7 Dentists, 40 Lawyers, 3 Candy Manufactories, 9 Floe School Buildings, with oyer forty teachers, salaries ranging from #80 to 9200 per month. 17 Churches representing all kinds of faith. They have just torn down their old Court Rouse, that was built In 1850, and are about to erect a floe new one that will cost two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. To-day I have been oat stx Smiles from here to see an artesialu well that is 1250 feet deep, with a flow of 500 gallons a minute, and has a large amount ot GM which the owner uses to llgat and heat his house. Also' does alibis oooklng with it. It contains several minerals. Iron, Sulphur, Mag­ nesia and Soda. They have now lu this country six'of these artesian wells ranging from 909 to 1250 feet in depth. They throw a stream of water 24 feet above the the surfaoe. They jcost trom 9'2i)0i to #3000 apiece. They run the water all over their taring, so yon oan see the oouvenienoe of them. Other ttilugs too numerous to men­ tion here has been my priviledge to see and can only tell youou my return, wbioh will soon be, as I shall leave •ere for ftingwood on the 81st of this month. T. E.

W bat do the friends of temperance think of these resolutions? In thr South tbe Problbltionist9 are made the cats-paw of the Democratic party, audi yet In Congress the Democratic party furnishes tbe barrier to tbe sue ee-s of prohibition legislation. We have given tbe facts just as they were taken from the report of tbe proceed Ings of the brewers' convention. We do not believe any Prohibitionists will dispute that we have given them accurately.

They allege that the passages con* taining references to woman'a subjec­ tion to oen, and Iter inferiority In general, are mistranslated, and a force £iyen to them against womankind wbieh is not borue out of tbe origi­ nal. Henoe they propose to obtain the opinions of a number of profound scholars upon all such passages, and to publish an exegetical work, showing up the alleged uufalrness wish which the male translators of the Scriptures have treated them, Tbe passages and chapters which touch upon this point, makeup, tt Is said, about one-tenth of the Bible. -• •A t < f j • H : M .3 ' as.
