In the State House there was many a trick played, many a joke passed, the recollection of which produces a smile upon the faces of those who witnessed them. It was not infrequently that as a person was walking up-stairs with a lighted candle, a shot from a revolver would extinguish it. Then what shouts of laughter rang through the building at the scared individual. Those who fired were marksmen; their aim was true and they knew it."
THE FANDANGO.
Speaking of the way in which these gay and festive Legis- lators passed their evenings, a writer says: '" The almost nightly amusement was the fandango. There were some respectable ones and some which at this day would not be called respect- able. The term might be considered relative in its signification. It depended a good deal on the spirit of the times and the the notion of the attendant of such places. Those fandangos, where the members kept their hats on and .treated their part- ners after each dance, were not considered of a higb-toned character (modern members will please bear this in mind).
There were freqnent parties wbere a little more gentility was exhibited. In truth, considering the times and the country, they were very agrecable. The difference in language, in some degree prohibited a frce exchange of ideas between the two sexes when the Americans were in excess. But then, what one could not say in so many words he imagined, guessed, or
made signs, and on the whole, the parties were novel and inter- esting.
AMUSEMENTS FOR THE MEMBERS.
The grand out-door amusements were the bull and bear fights. They took place sometimes on St. James, and some- times on Market Square. Sunday was the usual day for bull- fights. On the 3d of February the Legislators were enter- tained by a great exhibition of a fellow-man putting himself on a level with a beast. In the month of March there was a good deal of amusement, inixed with a good deal of excitement. It was reported all over the Capital that gold had been dis- covered in the bed of Coyote creek. There was a general rush. Picks, sbovels, crow-hars, and pans had a large sale. Members of the Legislature, officials, clerks, and lobbyists, concluded suddenly to change their vocation. Even the sixteen dollars per day which they had voted themselves, was no inducement to keep them away from Coyote creck. But they soon came back again, and half of those who went away would never own it after the excitement was over. Beyond the above interesting, and presumably prominent facts, history gives us very little concerning the meeting of our first Legislature, except that the session lasted one hundred and twenty-nine days, an adjournment having been effected on the 22d of April, 1850.
SECOND SESSION OF LEGISLATURE.
The second Legislature assembled on the 6th of January, 1851. On the 8th the Governor tendered his resignation to the Legislature, and John MeDougal was sworn in as his successor. The question of the removal of the capital from San Jose was one of the important ones of the session, so much so that the citizens of San Jose were remarkably active in cater- ing to the wishes of the members of the Legislative body. They offered extravagant bids of land for the capitol grounds, prom- ised all manner of buildings and accommodations, and even took the State scrip in payment for Legislators' board. But it was of no usc.
Vallejo was determined to have the capital, and hegan brib- ing members right and left with all the city lots they wanted. The Act of removal was passed February 14th, and after that date tbe Legislators had to suffer. The people refused to take State scrip for San Jose board, charged double prices for everything; and when, on the 16th of May, the Solons finally pulled up stakes and left, there was not thrown after them the traditional old shoe, but an assorted lot of mongrel oaths and Mexican maledietions.

PRESENT CAPITOL BUILDING.
In the beginning of 1860 the citizens of Sacramento deedled to the State, lots of land in the city on which a new State Cap- itol could be built. Work commenced the 15th day of May 1861, and the corner-stone was laid with Masonic ceremonies, conducted by N. Green Curtis, then Grand Master of the Order. In a few years other blocks were added, so that uow the grounds extend from Tenthi to Fifteenth aud from L to N streets. For this addition the citizens subscribed $30,000, the State appro- priation not being sufficient to fully pay for the land. The original architect was Reuben Clark, to whom the greatest meed of praise should be given for the beautiful building that now adorns the city and is an honor to the State. After the dedication ceremonies, work was discontinued on it for some time, and it was not until 1865 that labor was recommenced in earnest. Up to November 1, 1875, the cost, added to the usual items for repairs aud improvements, amounted to $2,449,- 428.31. The building is two hundred and forty feet in height, the height of the main building being ninety-four feet. Its depth is one hundred and forty-nine feet and its length two hundred and eighty-two. The Assembly Chamber is seventy-three by seventy-five, with a height of forty-eight feet, and the Senate seventy-tbree by fifty-six, with the same height. The first, or ground story of the building, is sixteen feet above the level of the surrounding streets.
The State Capitol, one of the prettiest in America, stands in a park of eight blocks, terraced and ornamented with walks, drives, trees, shrubs and plants, forming one of the prettiest spots in the country. This fine structure cost about $2,500,000 and its towering dome, surmounted by the Temple and Goddess of Liberty, rises two hundred and forty feet, and is the first object presented to view in the distance from whatever direc- tion the traveler approaches the city. A fine engraving of this building will be found as a frontispiece.
The State Capitol Park, in which are located the Capitol building, the State Armory, and the State Printing Office, em- braces ten full blocks of land, and the breadth of four streets, running north and south. Recent improvements, lay out the grounds in a graceful landscape style, of extensive lawn and clumps of trees, and arranges them more especially as a drive. The main drive is in the form of an ellipse, the roadway being forty feet in width, and estimated to be about two-thirds of a mile in length. It is bordered by a double row of trees, and the grounds intervening between the roadway and the fences are being tastefully laid out in the best style of landscape gar- dening.
Descriptive and Statistical Matter.
THE Coast Range of mountains runs parallel to the ocean, and has an altitude of from two thousand to four thousand feet above the sea, and an average width of twenty to forty miles.
SIERRA NEVADA RANGE.
On the general eastern boundary of California, aud running nearly its entire length, lies the Sierra Nevada (snowy range), its summit being generally above the region of perpetual snow. In this State it is about four hundred and fifty miles long and eighty miles wide, with an altitude varying from five thousand to fifteen thousand feet above the level of the sea. Nearly its whole width is occupied with its western slope, descending to a level of three hundred feet above the sea; its eastern slope, five or six miles wide, terminating abruptly in the great inte-

rior basin, which is five thousand feet above the sea level. The sides of the Sierra Nevada, to a height of about eight thou- sand feet, are covered with dense forests of valuable timber, which is succeeded by rugged granite and perpetual snow.
CALIFORNIA ALPS.
John Muir says :-
" Few portions of the California Alps are, strictly speaking, picturesque. The whole massive uplift of the range, four hun- dred and fifty miles long by about seventy wide, is one grand picture, not clearly divisible into smaller ones; in this respect it differs greatly from the older and riper mountains of the Coast Range. All the landscapes of the Sierra were remodeled deep down to the roots of their granite foundations by the developing ice-floods of the last geological winter.
HEAD-WATERS OF THE TUOLUMNE.
" On the head-waters of the Tuolumne is a group of wild Alps on which the geologist may say the sun has but just begun to shine, yet in a high degree picturesque, and in all its main fea- tures so regular and evenly balanced as almost to appear con- ventional-one somber cluster of snow-laden peaks with gray pine-fringed granite bosses braided around its base, the whole

surging free into the sky from the head of a magnificent valley, whose lofty walls are beveled away on both sides so as to embrace it all without admitting anything not strictly belong- ing to it. The foreground was now all aflame with autumn colors, brown and purple and gold, ripe in the mellow sunshine; contrasting brightly with the deep, cobalt blue of the sky, and the black and gray and pure, spiritual white of the rocks and glaciers. Down through the midst the young Tuolumne was seen pouring from its erystal fountains, now resting in glassy pools as if ehanging baek again into iee; now leaping in white cascades as if turning to snow; gliding right and left between the granite bosses, then sweeping on through the smooth meadowy levels of the valley, swaying pensively from side to side with ealm, stately gestures, past dipping willows and sedges, and around groves of arrowy pine; and throughout its whole eventful course, flowing fast or slow, singing lond or low, ever filling the landscape with spiritual animation, and manifesting the grandeur of its sourees in every movement and tone."
MOUNT DIABLO.
The most familiar peak in the State is, however, Mount Diablo, being very near its geographieal center, and towering above all other peaks-prominent from its inaccessibility aud magnificent panoramic sweep from its top-prominent from its selection by the Government as the initial point of base and meridian lines in the land survey, it being the reference point in about two-thirds of the State.
It stands out boldly three thousand eight hundred and fifty- six feet high, overlooking the tranquil ocean, thirty miles due cast from the Golden Gate, serving as a beacon to the weary, sea-tossed mariner, far out on the blue, briny billows, pointing him to a haven of seenrity in the great harbor through the Golden Gate itself; and even on through bay and strait to anchorages safe and deep, np to where the foot-stones of the great pile meet and kiss the brackish waters. Grand old mountain, majestic, silent, yet a trumpet-tongued preacher ! Who is there of the prosperous dwellers upon its slopes, or near its grateful shadows, that, going or coming by land or sea, does not look upon that blue receding or advaneing pile with a full heart ?
General Vallejo gives the following as the history of Mount Diablo (Mount Devil): "In 1806, a military expedition from San Francisco marehed against the tribe ' Bolgones,' who were encamped at the foot of the mountain. The Indians were pre- pared to receive the expedition, and a hot engagement ensued in the large hollow fronting the western side of the mountain. As the vietory was about to be deeided in favor of the Indians, an unknown personage, decorated with the most extraordinary plumage, and making diverse movements, suddenly appeared near the combatants. The Indians were victorious, and the incognito (Puy), departed towards the mount. The defeated soldiers, on aseertaining that the Spirit went through the same
ceremony daily, and at all hours, named the mount 'Diablo,' in allusion to its mysterious inhabitant, that continned tbus to make its strange appearanee until the trihe was subdued by the troops in command of Lieutenant Gabriel Moraga, in a seeond campaign, the same year. In the aboriginal tongue, Puy signifies Evil Spirit; and, doubtless, it signifies devil in the Anglo-Ameriean language."
" It is believed there are few points on the earth's surface from which so extensive an area ean he seen as from this mountain." The writer has, from its summit, eounted thirty- five eities and villages, where reside two-thirds of the inhabit- ants of the State.
GREAT MOUNTAIN RANGES.
The two great mountain ranges nnite at the northern and southern part of the State, each eonneeting range having a lofty peak.
In the northern connecting link is Mount Shasta, fourteen thousand four hundred and forty-two feet high. It rears its great, eraggy snow-covered summit high in the air, and is often seen at a distance of two hundred miles at the south-west. It takes about three days to reach its summit and return. You ean ride to the snow line the first day, aseend to the top the follow- ing morning, deseend to your eamp in the afternoon, and return to the valley on the third day. Monnt Shasta has a glacier, almost, if not quite, the only one within the limits of the United States. The mountain is an extinct voleano. Its summit is composed of lava, and the eye can easily trace the now broken lines of this old crater when viewed from the north.
Mount Shasta is elothed with snow for a virtual mile down from its suminit during most of the year. Mount Whitney is the highest point in the United States (14,900 feet); but Mount Shasta (14,442 feet) makes a more imposing appearance becanse it rises in solitary grandeur seven thousand feet above any mountains near it. In the Sierra Nevada range are more than one hundred peaks over ten thousand feet high, according to the State Geological Survey.
In the southern counecting link is snow-capped Mouut San Bernardino eleven thousand six hundred feet above the sea level. Between these two great ranges, lie the great interior basin of the State, comprising the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, really hut one geographieal formation, drained by the two great rivers bearing their respective names, and their tributa- ries; an uninterrupted level country of exceeding fertility, and the great future wheat growing section of the State. This basin extends north and south about four hundred miles, with an average breadth of from fifty to sixty miles, rising into nu- dulating slopes and low hills as the mountains are approached on either side. It is covered with a diluvium from four hun- dred to fifteen hundred feet deep, and presents evidences of having once been the bed of a vast lake.
Innumerable valleys are formed by spurs shooting off from

the western slope of the Sierra Nevada range, and from the Coast range on either side, extending the entire length of the State; well watered by springs and living streams, possessing a good soil and elimate, and every way adapted to profitable mixed husbandry.
This great valley is drained from the north by the Sacra- mento river, and from the south by the San Joaquin, which, after meeting and uniting in the eenter of the basin, break through the Coast Range to the Paeifie. At the southern ex- tremity are the Tulare lakes and marshes, which in the wet season cover a large extent of surface. Along the great rivers the valleys are generally low and level, and extremely fertile, rising into undulating slopes and low hills as the mountains are approached on either side, and brokeu on the east by numerous spurs from the Sierras.

POPULATION AND INCREASE.
In 1831, the entire population of the State was 23,025, of whom 18,683 were Indian converts. During the years 1843, '44, '45 and '46 a great many emigrants from the United States settled in California. In January, 1847, the white popu- lation was estimated at from 12,000 to 15,000. Its population, in 1850, was probably 150,000. The population of the State, in 1880, was 864,686. There are on the average, six inhabitants to the square mile, but the distribution of the settlement over the State is unequal. Thus, San Franeiseo has about 8,000 people to the square mile, while those portions of San Diego and San Bernar- dino counties in the Colorado Desert and enelosed basin, with an area of fourteen thousand square miles, have at least seven square miles to each white inhabitant. The counties of San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Contra Costa, San Joaquin, Sacramento, Yolo, Solano, Napa, Sonoma and Marin, fronting on San Francisco, San Pablo, and Suisun bays, and the deltas of the Sacramento and Sau Joaquin rivers, all within thirty miles of Mount Diablo, and distinetly visible from its summit, have 580,800 inhabitants, or about fifty-eight to the mile, leaving a little more than two to the square mile for the remainder of the State.

The returns of 1850 for Contra Costa and Santo Clara were lost on the way to the Census Office, and those for SAD Franelaco were destroyed by fire. The corrected State census of 1852 gives the population of these three counties as follows : Contra Costa, 2,786; San Francisco, 36,154; and Santa Clara, 6,764; and gives the total population of the State (save El Dorado, not returned) 215,122. El Dorado was estimated at 40,000, which would make the total population at that date 255,199. (Vide Doc. No. 14. Appendix to Sennte Journal, 4th session Legislature.)
