Three miles are soon passed and we hail with delight this mighty Pacific; before our train fairly stops we rush with the crowd to the waters edge, following closely as it recedes to show its sandy bed; but suddenly it changes, aud aswearelhe greenies the laugh is at our expense when the lapping billows reach out for our pistol-pocket. The beach is lined with husks from coconuts but shells are scarce.

Most of time there is a good crowd strolling along the beach; overcoats, dusters, furs and fans, wear what you may, its style; especially if you have a good big cad of gum, and can jaw it and ta.k at the same time. As we draw nigh to the Cliff house which stands high and dry above the angry waves we are almost frightened at a very strange noise; it is not the grunt of a hundred hogs, nor the bray of as many mules, but the snarl or laugh of the Sea-lions playiug in the water or sunning themselves on the rocks, a short distance from the shore. Now that we are as far West as ties can bo counted, and only lacking three miles from being outside the United States, it is lime to close and give jour readers a rest; sometime when copy is scarce I will give you a sketch of China-town, Woodward's Gardens, c.

a relief who arrived on Sunday eve, and Mr. B. left Monday morning. Last Sunday morning several of our citizens were treated to a scene of much agitation and active movements, enacted by a poor innocent brindle cow, a spotted pony, a quiet citizen, his wife and a wouid.be land-holder. Hot words fell thick and fast, emphasized with a few hasty blows.

Soon a Justice and Constable appeared who poured oil on the troubled waters thus restoring the serenity of the Sabbath morning: the crowd dispersed and quiet reigned once more. Last Monday, quite a change was noticable in our town among a few ef lhi business men. M. L. Mcintire was out on the farm tickling the ribs of mother eanh while D.

E. Cole was sticking type for him. John Woodward was running League's Harness shop, Eastman was keeping the Hardware customers quiet, Dr. Parker was quietly looking around for a chap to pitch quoits with him, Oliver Wood was out training his 'dorg', Gephart was out in his garden-paich settling a case of priorityship between a bed of globe radishes and an aboriginal horde of ragweeds. L.

A. Near was remonstrating with some old fossilized cutworms that perisled in laying claim to some early cabbage plants. P. C. Duukip evidently had vamoosed the ranch for his store was locked and a fellow was hunting for him, 'while Sniithcr Bro' were certainly busy or out of town; for they were invisible to us.

Ira McNutt would now and then make his anvil ring, hoping (1 suppose) to inveigle some quiet unsophisticated bare-foot roadster to coiue in and submit to the mysteri-rious operation of being shod. Well the fact was the town was a model for but while such was the case in the town, out in the country we could see the stalwart yeomanry, engaged iu a scene of push and activity that cannot be excelled by any other place ou earth; plowing planting, sowing and harrowing as lar as the eye could reach; and we felt like ringing out a prolonged B- MAM, They say live in the we admit that we do; But we try to make prices to suit our neighbors. EE, KANSAS. STOCKTON, Tahiti. Doty, who has reached the serious and diplomatic ago of i'l years, packed up his lawn tennis suit and his flannel balzers and hied himself away to the royal court of Tahiti, a court of whose very existence a man might be entirely ignorant and still do business; but.

a court that Doty writes back to Li3 friends about, is not to be sneezed at. Many moons ago an Englishman, a Lord D' Arcy with a fine eye for the main chance married a native princess of the South Sea Island. To day the result of the marriage is a beautiful dusky Tahitian princess of 20, in her own right the largest property owner on the island. Her possessions arc cocoa plantations, galore and pearl fisheries worth untold millions. When Consul Doty arrived at Tahiti, this maiden was fancy free.

Of course, the young noblemen of the islands were sighing for her favors were too numerous for comfort. A good many of them were great howling swells and how s'-e could refuse them all actually shocked the court; but Duty came and conquered. As quick as he landed on the magic island, his loud spring suit made an impression on her susceptible young Tahitian heart and but a few short months and they were engaged. Now socity in the South Sea Islands is humping itself to celebrate the considerably royal nuptials in the most approved fashion.
