Editor Chief: Thinking perhaps a J few lines from the land of eold would be acceptable I will write a few. I am at present with Mr. Eugene Thompson, a young man from River ton. We are taking in the west to an advantage. Sacrameto is the first place of much interest this side of the Sierra Nevada. This is a beautiful city lying 150 nuJes from the coast on the Sacramento River. Here everything is green and beautiful. It is a beautiful city and a fine location foi a State capitol. Leaving there we pass through some fine country for a short distance, then go into the most desolate barren looking region in the United States for 300 miles, but towards Los Angeles we again enter a region that might well be called the Paradise of the earth. Here are immense orange and lemon groves; also, huge beds of strawberries and cream. 1 he city of Loi Angeles is situated on the Los Angeles river, 18 miles from the sea coast, and 35 mile from the mountains. The valley is 25 or 20 miles wide and is certainly the Garden of Eden. Even the historic fig leaf is not lacking, and some of the beautiful Eyes which can be seen at all festive gatherings, would appear more completely dressed were they to wear one on their bare necks, for Washing" ton society is highly imitated here. Los Angeles is a city of Home 40,000 inhabitants, and also in old and his toric city. The ditch dug by Fremont at the time of the Mexican war, still rcmaiiH, and two of the canon with which lie subjugated the unruly citi zens, still remain on the corner of the old court house, where they wer planted some 35 years ago. The city was commenced in the year 1781, on the 4th day of September, and tli3 name, Los Angeles, means city of the angels. Only the good were intended both are here. It now composed mostly of Americans, there being about 5000 Mexicans and as many Chinese. The old adobe buildings of the Mexicans still stand and probably will be for a long time to come. 22 miles from this city is the yilb.ge of San Pedro, theohipping point for Los Angeles. Here we are now waiting for a steamer to bear us away to San Francisco. There is a light house here Here is a breik water on which the government has spent many thousands of dollars. The flower festival at Los Angeles was a sight seldom seen. There were seven carloads of the finest floweis in the land, there being 14 tons ofpuic white hllios. 10,000 people visited it daily for five days. Twenty, eight electric lights were shining at the same time in the room. The flower season is drawing to a close, now that the rainy season is over. The rainy eeason commences here about the first of December, and lasts until April first, at the close of which all the 'finest flowers and fruits of ceitain kinds are exhibited, It is true that the half was never told about the wonders of California. But, as my words are inadequate describe it. I will close with tho words of Joaquin Miller, "Knowest thou the land where the lemon trees bloom, where the gold orange groves in the deep thickets gloom, where the wind ever soft from the blue heaven blows, and the groves are of laurel, ami myrtle and rose." "Go west, young man, go west" II. G. Knight. FROM VIRGINIA. Wallack" Switch, Va., April 8. Dkak Sik. As 1 have some relatives and many friends in your county, it would be a large task to communicate with all of them. If you will be so kind as to give space in i'our paper I I will give a few items of this part of Virginia. In the first place I will say from a brief description of Nebraska I have had through some of our Vir ginians I am persuaded there are con siderable advantages in your state for a man of limited means, and equally o for those that are not so much limit ed financially. There is an abundance of land in this part of our" state that will not produce an average of ten bushels ol corn per acre, that sells readily at from $20 to $40 per ucie. Corn i $ selling at 40c per bushel, and wheat $1; bacon Sj cts per pound. Farmers are beginning to realize that tho hog raising business is becoming unprofitable in this country, except for home consumption, from the fact that our merchants are getting vast quantities ot bacon from the west which they can sell at a lower price and make a better profit than can be made on home prodm tion. Timber is getting to be scarce here, although we live in the 'mountains. There are a great many persons here using coal for fuel and wire for fencing. I saw a letter from uckoi Is .ounty, and one from Butler county, Nebraska, recent ly, in which it gave the distressing news of a woman laving out all night in a straw stack and getting her feet badly frozen. Well, I can say to 'Bug eater," as he gives that as his signature if the woman had been here during January ami laid out in a straw stack, the doctors would not have had any amputating to do, but the undertakers would have had a job. There was a man within three-miles of this place had his feet badly frozen, and another about 6 miles from here froze to death. It tets cold enough here to freese the horna ofi a cow, but our Januaiy snap I beat that it froze two cows to death horns and all. Now, Mr. Editor, I don't want to discourage anyone thai ban an idea of migrating to theeejparts, OgftcisHy capitalist!, tyr that it what Virginia need?, but I will say to those that I am interested in, if you have any idea of coming to Virginia, and have not laid up plenty of skads, I say DacKwaru, mm uacKvaru, iwur uinu in your flight, for I tell you it is "root hog, or die," and if you don't get about pretty lively it will be duck or no din ner. There arc many hard work ing men here that would like to go weal but they don't g t enough money during the year to buy a ticket toj circus. I know of several good farni hands that worked through harvest last -car for a half oushel of corn per day and boarded themselves. How is tnat for high? Now Mr. Editor I will conclude by saying to my Virginia friends, look out ! for I have concluded to take Horace Greely'i advice, so you need not be surprised at seeing a lot of us Virginians at any time. Doubleyou. The Burlington Extension. The Railway Age has the following to say in a recent issue about the prob able action ol the Burlington road: "The Chicago, Burlington fc Quincy Company appears to have decided to push t-eetward from Denver. Colorado, into the Middle Park ot the Kocky Mountains, reaching Aspen and other mining camps, and it is also believed that it intends to push on into Utah If this is the case it seems to indicate the determination by this company to eventually have a line to the Pacific coast. The Burlington is also propos ing to push into Kansas and beyond by a line from Red Cloud, Nebraska, southwesterly through that state, thence across the corner of La Ani mas county, Colorado, and on through New Mexico by the way of La? Vegas and it is said Santa Fe. This route would bring it in direct competition with the Atchison, Topeka fc Santa Fe and put an end doubtless to the form erly friendly relations of these com panies and would perhaps result in the Atchison company extending its own line from Kansas City to Chicago."
