The Overland Mail brings files of the Lo,
Angeles papers to October soth. From then
we make up the following summary:
| WEATHER AND BustNEss.-The past week
says the Vineyard, of October 30th has been
/ equal to the best samples ever offered for the
inspection of Epsy or Merriam. Farmers are
actively engaged in getting in wi ct, of which
some extensive fields are being sown The
vintners are busily occupied in picking and
treading the gape crop In some vineyards
/ the rain and warm, humid weather proved
slightly injurious to the crop, but, in the well
cultivated ones, we believe there is no com
plant.
On Saturday morning 23d October, says
the Star. our neighbors at the Mission and
the Monte found their gardens gistening in
the bright coating of hoar frost, the first of
the season.
MExIcANs GOING TO SoNoRA-The Clamor
Publico says that company of Mexican re.
sidents of Lower California are forming to
emigratc to Sonora, and subscriptions are be-
ing raised among the Spaniards 10 assist them
off The Vineyard thinks that the Ameri-
cans would subscribe heavily if the Mexicans
will agree not to come back. One gentleman,
a large taxpayer in Los Angeles, says he will
subscribe a sum equal to his State and Coun-
ty tax and one ofthe supervisors says he will
exert himself to have handsome sum given
by the county.
New RoaD. The Star says Captain Ban
ming is busily engaged in building road
from the landing at New San Pedro to CON
meet with the county road known as the Do
minguez road.
GOLD DlGGMG.-The Star says Some of
the emigrants who have lately come into this
section of country from the Eastern States,
are turning their attention already to min
ing. A party of four have associated for this
purpose, and left on Wednesday last, with
view of prospecting in the mountains of San
Fernando, near Hart's.
The Vineyard says it 6elieves that letters
have been received at Los Angeles of later
date than former accounts confirming the
statement of the finding of rich placer dig
gings on the north side Of the Gila.

Several of the fragments struck Mr.. W, who
in his endeavors to stop the machine, came
very near losing both his arms. He is reeo-

A PANoRAMA OF CALIFoRNIA.-We had the
pleasure on Thursday of receiving call from
our old friend Mr. George Tyrrel, for several
years well and favorably known throughout
the State as a scenic artist. Mr.. Tyrrel has
been occupied during a greater portion of
the past year in making elaborate sketches
of California scenes, of which he has accu-
mulated a large number, and from which he
will soon commence the painting of an ex-
tensive panorama, designed more especially
for exhibition in the Atlantic States. This
panorama Is intended to convey such an idea
Of California scenery, customs and peculiari-
ties as has never before been projected in any
previous undertaking of the kind. 1t will
embrace not only complete and extended
views and illustrations of the various kinds
of mining and mountain scenery, but will in.
clude characteristic and actual agricultural
! scenes, pictures of all the prominent cities,
towns and notable natural objects and what
ever of interest describable upon canvass.
that those desiring information concerning
our golden land may wish to know. In fact
the panorama is intended to exhibit in their
true colors, the vast resources and boundless
extent of mining and agricultural lands with
in our borders Mr. Tyrrel has nearly com
pleted his sketching tour, and will soon com
mence in San Francisco, the painting of the
panorama, which will occupy the time of one
year or more This is a grand scheme and
one which commends itself to us as eminentv
worthy of success. Butte Record, Saturday.

The CHINESE PERJURY CAsE-OArus BY IN

ry in swearing that Charles Carvalho, Chi.
nese interpreter, had been present aiding and
assisting at the abduction of the wife of one
All Young, came up before the Police Court
! yesterday afternoon, at o'clock. AS Judge
Coon was principal witness in the case, Jus
tice Culver was called to hear and determine
the case
Charles Carvalho, the interpreter, was call
ed to the stand by the prosecution, and il
was proposed to show by him that he had
sworn the defendants on the trial in which
the alledged perjury took place The coun-
sci for the accused on defence, however, OBJ
jectedsto the admission of Caryalho as wit
ness, and also to his being admitted as an in
terpreter in the former case on the following
grounds: lst. Carvalho was a party in in

Judge Coon was sworn, and testified that

ment. Subsequently an act was passed by
the Legislature providing for their payment,
authorizing the President of the Board of
Supervisors, the County Judge and Police
Judge, to make appointments. They appoin-
ted Mr.. Lussey and Carvalho, or rather
directed them to go on. lie thon norrated
the circumstances of the investigation which
had taken place before him, on the case of
Caryalho and others. This case wasfully re.
ported at the time and it is therefore not ne
eessary to repeat the testimony in detail. 1t
may suffice to say that Carvalho was called
upon to swear the defendants and interpret
their testimony to the Court, while he was
defendant in that case.
Justice Culver held that the oath admins
tered to the defendant, Kow Sow, was not
binding, because the Interpreter had admins
tered it himself, without repeating it over af-
ter the Judge, The case of All Yik was ta-
ken under adyisement, on the point made
that the Chinese could not lawfully be sworn,
and therefore could not commit perjury, in a
case against white man, though that white
man waved the bjection.-Butietin, Friday

A LITTLE HIsToRY OF LITTLE WOMAN
There is little woman in San Francisco
whose history for the past few years is to
some extent illustrative of the beauties of our
divorce law, and therefore worthy of publi-
cation. -Four years ago she married gen
tleman, whom for convenience we shall desir.
nate as husband No l. She soon became
dissatisfied with her bargain, and by hook or
10y crook, managed to get a divorce, and mar
ned husband No. ,, but after while began
to regret having been divorced from No, /.
She got divorce from No. 2, and actually
remarked No. l. She remained with No /
for several months, until an unpleasant ami-
ly difficulty took place, when she obtained A
second divorce from him and married No. 3.
Her connection with No lasted but very
little while. She was divorced from him

until his conduct became unbearable Hap
pening to fall in with No 2, the lady com.
planned to him of No. and that gentleman
promised that No. 4 should be numerically
thrashed. He was thrashed so thoroughly
by No. 2, on Montgomery street, that he was
confined to his bed for three weeks. The
lady is now living with No 2, though she
has not obtained divorce from No. 4. This

The girl was found, a comely and respectable
looking person, in low and degraded den,
ond in asking her why she had thus rushed
into the depths of misery, she replied that
drunken father and drunken mother had dri-
ven her forth upon the cold charities of the
world, she had erred and fallen. She pre-

CASE OF SUDDEN INsANIrY.-0n Tuesday
last, says the S F. Times young man named
Ira Welcher, accompanied by Thos. NJ. Reed,
an elderly friend, arrived here from Oregon
They had been farming on adjoining ranches
in Benton county, and are now on their way
to the Eastern States. The young man is
very unsophisticated, and though 81 years
old, had never before seen city as large
as San Francisco. They put up at the
Shakespeare House on Pacific street Or
Wednesday night Ira attended the theateI
for the first time in his life, and witnessed the
representation of Luerezia Borgia. The death
scene affected his mind strangely, and after
his return to his hotel, he was observed to
act in an unusual manner. However, he went
to rest with his friend but early in the morn
ing he started seddenly from his bed, seized
a pistol, and with no other covering but his
shirt, rushed into the street, where he acted
as perfect madman. The citizens became
alarmed, and sent for assistance to the Police
office. Officer Wallace undertook to arrest
him, wrenched the pistol from his hand Sc
cured him, and assisted by friends he was clo-
thed and taken to the station house, where
the sum of sl,OS2 was found in the belt a
round his person, When first confined he
appeared very wild, but later in the day he
realized his situation, and all symptoms of in
sanity had passed away. What makes the
case more singular is the fact that the young
man is remarkably temperate, never having
taken a glass of liquor in his life. His friends
will take charge of him to-day, as they say
they have no fears for his future sanity

The Human Thermometer.

The marvellous balance between supply
and loss exhibited by the human organ
ism, and indeed by that of most warm
blooded animals, may be best seen in the
following facts. Our temperature is $50,
and this is the standard, no matter what
may be the external heat. In the trop-
les, the thermom eter, during several hours
of the day, is 1loo. In British India it is
sometimes as high as 1902. In the Arc
tic Zones it has been observed by oui
yoysgers as low as 800, and even 1929
below freezing point. Nevertheless, amid
such extensive variations of the external
temperature, that of the human organism
has but slightly varied, and thermome-
ter placed under the tongue Of an Arctic
voyager viii show the same degree o.
heat as one under the tongue Of a soldier
before the walls Of Delhi.-Blaclaoood.

Eli Thayer, entitled Suicide of Slavery.
In calling attention to this speech, We
must characterize it as one of the mos

pungent ridicule, the bright vein of irony
the inimitable humor, and the massive
strength Of comprehension which pervad,

"Mr. Thayer does not attempt to de
fend the Pilgrims to apologize for the ex

the right and might of free emigration
but accepting them as they are, he treat
with the method of statesman and tn
glow of patriot, their predestined flu

more the representative man of the prac
