Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Californians This book has evolved itself, it is hoped by selec tion of the fittest, from the note-books of a worker in literature, engaged during the past four years in California. The pages of The Californians will show that it has been its author's main business during his absence from England to observe and study, both directly and through the medium of what others have written, the people and the things he here discusses. Though never profaning the sacredness of the bread and salt, he attempts to treat men and their ways much as if he determined the angles and the compo sition of a crystal, or studied in a test-tube the phenomena of certain combinations of nitrogen and carbon.

Life today in California is on the whole freer, richer, happier in all probability than it is anywhere else in the world. What life can be tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, ifman does well his part where nature has been infinitely prodigal, is something that can scarcely be contemplated without a catch of the breath.

Download or read book The Californian, 1882, Vol. 6 written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Californian, 1882, Vol. 6: A Western Monthly Magazine Casting aside, then, all thoughts as to his present or future effect upon our civilization, let us look upon him for himself, regarding him more as a piece of animated bric-a-brac - which he largely resembles - than anything else. The Chinese idea seems to be, as a rule, to do everything as exactly opposite to our way as possible, though perhaps the Chinese idea is that it is we who do everything outlandishly, and they who are right. Be that as it may, we will study them from our standpoint. The stroller on Kearney Street, feeling inclined for a cup of chocolate and a roll, steps into a restaurant, where the best display possible is made in the room he enters. The stroller on Dupont Street, one block farther west, wishing to taste a cup of tea, passes without stopping through a room opening on the street, where nothing seems designed to tempt or invite; and ascending one flight of dingy, smoke-begrimed stairs, finds himself in the second-class department of the establishment. If he chooses to rest there, he may be served with such as the common herd enjoy, and at corresponding prices. But should he soar, as it were, should he desire to move in what are literally the "upper circles," he climbs another stair. This, in an American establishment, would bring him in the vicinity of the garret, and a greater or less degree of poverty; but here his eye is greeted, and somewhat startled it may be, by a wealth of carving, gilding, and bright colors. The Chinaman has a decided eye for color - or perhaps it would be nearer the truth to say an eye for decided colors - and revels in startling combinations of green, yellow, and red. He is lavish, too, of gold-leaf, laying it on in solid masses, and ornamenting his gods and goddesses, warriors, chiefs, etc., with innumerable fluffy flakes of it, which tremble and quiver in every passing breeze. The furniture is the best the proprietor can command: of dark wood, sometimes ebony, carved and gilded. A balcony opening from the room gives a bird's-eye view of the passing throng below. The "fang ti's" gas gives light, 'tis true, but the beloved lanterns of his fatherland hang profusely about, gladdening his eye with the memories of a home across the ocean, and compensating him in some respect for the absence of the hundred or so of odoriferous tallow candles which would have performed its duty in "the city of perfect delight." The proprietor does not in most cases possess the suaviter in modo - the "manner," as it were - of his French prototype in the block below. The waiters do not wear dress-coats, but are somewhat prone to carry their hats on their heads. There is a general lack of what to us constitutes ceremony and style. But in his own way, with a banquet for a dozen to arrange, he is as ceremonious and profoundly impressed with the importance of his mission as any "chef" of the "cordon blue." As we are not probably of those who dine at the ambassador's table, or attend grand banquets given by the upper-ten of Chinadom, we will content ourselves with a passing glance at the large circular table yonder, where appear, in symmetrical, concentric circles, a regiment of toy dishes, each with some delicacy as strange to our barbarian taste as its hue and odor to our other senses; and seating ourselves at a less pretentious board, request the "boy" to bring us some tea and sweetmeats. If he brings us cakes, we will not kill him; but we will not eat the cakes, lest they kill us. Watch him as he brings the tea, and learn the only true and proper way to concoct that beverage. First, two little pewter holders, in which the cups are set, and so prevented from tipping; then some tea leaves, I don't know how many or how much; then the cups are filled with boiling, fiery, red-hot water, and covered in a trice with saucers fitting just inside their rims. We stand our cups in saucers; he stands his saucers upside

This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fourteenth Anniversary of the Society of California Pioneers The President called the brethren to order. He proposed as the first regular toast: "The President of the United States." To this sentiment Dr. Bellows responded in a very happy vein, and seized upon the occasion to pay a passing tribute to tho energy, honesty and patriotism of our next, as of our present Executive, Abraham Lincoln. The only other regular toast given was "The Slate of California." to which E. IT. Washburn, Esq., made a glowing speech in response, which elicited great applause. Volunteer sentiments and speeches followed in rapid succession, toasts being proposed to the "Army and Navy," "General Sutter." "The Clergy," "General Sherman," and others. At the mention of the hero of Atlanta's name, there was a spontaneous burst of enthusiasm, which made the welkin ring. Dr. Bellows was again pressed into the arena, and passed a beautiful culogium 011 the brave Pioneer. Whilst the festivities were at their height, Grant's letter endorsing the nomination of Lincoln, was brought in, and read by the President. Long-continued cheering followed, only interrupted by brief tributes to the valor of the Lieutenant-General, by patriotic members. The President, in the earlier part of the festivities, toasted the Orator of the Day in a speech fraught with eloquence and feeling. For hours the feast of reason and flow of soul continued, and not until the shades of evening began to fall, did the Society of California Pioneers conclude their celebration of the natal day of the State, founded by themselves on these shores of the Oeeident.

Book Synopsis A History of California by : Robert Glass Cleland
Download or read book A History of California written by Robert Glass Cleland and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of California: The American Period As the title indicates, this volume deals with the American period of California history. It thus aims to complement the work of Dr. Charles E. Chapman, whose History of California: the Spanish Period, has already made its welcome appearance from the press. As the preface to this latter volume states, the general plan of the two books was agreed upon as far back as 1914. Since that date, Dr. Chapman and the writer "have been in constant communication, but otherwise working independently, with the view to producing between them, an authoritative popular history of California." With the exception of a slight overlapping of the writer's opening chapters with the closing pages of Dr. Chapman's narrative (an overlapping, however, which has involved almost no actual repetition of incident), each book covers a separate field. Yet the keynote of the two volumes is essentially the same, namely, that California history is vastly more significant because of its national and international aspects than for any local interest it may possess. From this standpoint, the event of primary importance in the history of California is its transformation from a Mexican province into an American state. To this event, as Dr. Chapman shows, the Spanish period looks forward; from this event, dates the California of today and the greater California of tomorrow. In preparing this volume for the press, the writer has had in mind three objects - to make his book conform to the canons of sound scholarship; to escape a provincial and localized point of view; and to avoid being classed with those "who write for nothing so irrelevant as a reader."
