Ramblings in Romance
Last week R. R. Stuart was telling us of the time when he was on the trail of a copy of the Santa Clara volume "Pen Pictures of the Garden of the World" which contained an intro- duction by Judge David Belden. The search took Stuart to a farm near Coyote and uncov- ered not only the book but a coincidence. The book was found discarded with rubbish and when Stuart offered a dollar the woman of the farm was surprised. Then she turned the pages, saw what it was and said, "If grandfather's write-up is in this book I wouldn't sell it at any price." "I don't think you'll find your grandfather's biography in this book," I replied. "You'll find that in the Santa Clara County history which was published in 1881." "She was referring to Orvis Stevens," says Stuart, "who came to California in 1852. After a pre- liminary year in the mines on the Yuba River and some farming and stock-raising experience in another part of the State, he had moved to a farm in Santa Clara County. Along about 1875, he rented the 'Twelve-Mile House' and for a number of years operated a store, blacksmith shop and postoffice in connection with the hotel. The old inn still serves the public at Coyote. As she stood thumbing through the leaves, something green and crisp slipped out and flut- tered to the ground. It was a five-dollar bill. At first she appeared to think I was in some way mixed up with the money, but since that didn't make sense, the solution finally occurred to her. The book had belonged to her parents, and years before when she was a girl and lived at home, her mother had said to her one day: 'I've put five dollars in the Bible, and I can't find it.' Accordingly they got down the Bible and the whole family had taken turns in search- ing for the bill. It was never found, and many and sinister had been the suggested solutions of the mystery. Of course, the mother had con- fused the two big books, and the bill had lain hidden all these years. Under the circum- stances, she was glad to sell the history for $1.00, since she was, in reality, getting $6.00 for something she had thrown away."

AS IT IS NOW.
BY HON. DAVID BELDEN.
THE FOLLOWING SKETCH OF THE SANTA CLARA VALLEY WAS PUBLISHED IN THE OVERLAND MONTHLY" OF SAN FRANCISCO, JUNE, 1887.
TO the visitor approaching the Santa Clara Valley, each mile traversed ushers in some delightful surprise, introduces a new climate. If his advent be from the north, the hills of scanty verdure, which en- circle the bay, recede upon either hand and assume a softer contour and richer garb. The narrow road- way that skirts the salt marsh has widened to a broad and fertile valley that stretches, as far as the eye can reach, in luxuriant fields of grass and grain. Border- ing this verdant plain, in lines and splendors all their own, come the hills, and into the recesses of these hills creep the little valleys, and, as they stcal away in their festal robes, they whisper of beauties beyond, and, as yet, unseen. In full keeping with the trans- formed landscape is the change in climate. The harsh, chill winds that pour in through the Golden Gate and sweep over the peninsula, have abated their rough vigor as they spread over the valley, and, softened as they mingle with the currents from the south, meet as a zephyr in the widening plain.
If the approach be from the south, the traveler, wearied with the desert and its hot, dry airs, is conscious of a sudden change. The sterile desert has become a fruitful plain, and the air that comes as balm to the parched lungs is cool and soft and moist with the tempered breath of the sea. Upon every hand and to every sense there is a transformation that would scarce be looked for outside Arabian romance. If it
be spring or early summer, miles upon miles stretches the verdant plain; over it troops sunshine and shadow ; across it ripple the waves. Summer but changes the hue and heaps the plain with abundant harvests, while the first rains bring again the verdure and the beauty of spring.
"An ocean of beauty!" exclaims the charmed be- holder. Nor is this comparison to the sea altogether an idle fancy. At a period geologically recent, the Sierra Nevadas and the Coast Ranges of mountains inclosed a basin about four hundred and fifty miles in length by about forty in width, comprising the present valleys of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. During the same period the region east of the Sierras, now embraced in the State of Nevada, and the Territories of Utah and Arizona, was an in- land sea connected with the Pacific by straits and inlets.
