NO one should leave California without visiting the mineral springs of Calistoga, and the Geysers. Calistoga is about sixty-four miles from San Francisco, by steamer twenty-four miles to Vallejo, thence by Napa Valley Eailroad about forty more, via Napa, to the mineral springs, the most celebrated on the Pacific coast. The chief med- icinal constituents are iron, magnesia, and sulphur, the temperature varying from boiling hot to icy cold. The vapor baths envelop the body like a hot robe, hence ...the name. The situation is one of the most charming in this delightful valley, and is appreciated by crowds of summer visitors, the greater part of whom pass onward to the " Geysers, " twenty-two miles farther. The mildness of the climate renders it especially suitable for the culture of fruit, and some of the finest vineyards in this vicinity are in Napa Valley. It is essentially an agricultural community, and though there is a very extensive dis- tillery for the manufacture of brandy, from the pure juice of the grape, in Calistoga, it is said that there is neither a policeman, doctor, or lawyer a permanent resident of the place.
