Douglas City, California.
I live up in the mountains of Northern California, in Trinity County. Although this place is called a city, it is only a small town. There are a great many Portuguese families living here, but only a few Americans.
I go to school eight months in the year. Last year I attended school at Honolulu, Sandwich Islands. I enjoyed my stay there very much. I lived with my uncle. I was introduced to King Kalakaua and Queen Kapiolani, and I had a good opportunity of seeing the manners and customs of the people.

We think there is no paper that can excel Young People. There are seven of us children. We have a few curiosities. We have two vases made of lava from Herculaneum.
There were two British barks lost on the coast here.
I am nine years old, and am a constant reader of Young People.
