Los ASGELEs.--C oncerning this place a car respondent of the B'l'eiu says:
 Los Angeles. the "City of the Queen of the Angels or, as the native Californians had it, the Pp,lq ds la Re,ha de ios Ang,ls. consti- tutcs tbe very centre of California, paradise. and is the most charming and attractive city of the Pacific coast Los Angeles was loca- ted in the year ESQ, but like most all other California towns, was of straggling charac- ter, notwithstanding its agricultural adyant- ages. until after the American conquest IL is delightfully."- situated upon the cratic Los Angeles river, and under cover of the San Fernando mountains, and is little rising 2j miles from the sea, which IS almost in a di- rect line south.
 Crooked, ungraded, unpayed streets-low. lean, rickety adobe houses with asphaltum roofs, and fe-e and there an indOlent native hugging the inside of a blanket, or burying his head in gigantic watermelon present un- eXtinguishable traces of this Mexican town. But a wonderful change is and has been go- [ ing on ana Los Angeles is at present-at least Co a great eXtcnt-an American city. AdObes are giving way to elegant and sub stantial dwellings and stores the customs of well regulated society have proved to he de structlye elements in opposition to lawles,- ness ana crime industry and enterprise have now usurpel the place of indolence and un- ! productiveness; and places of public worship 1 institutions of learning, newspapers, hotels banks, manufactories. etc, produce ornamental 1 dottings throughout city, the site of which might have been dedicated by natarc as second Eden, without the least possibility of l her handiwork being subjected to critical | test.
 The city of Los Angeles is six miles square and Is built upon level plain. with a slight decline towards the south. The population | at present is about GOO and is rapidly increas- | ing. The city is favored with miles of vine ! yards and presents the appearance of vast ! collection of gardens, in which all the semi i tropical productions successfully grow and | ripen. There are various kinds of fruit in ! their most luscious stages of maturity at all | times of the year, while the perfume of myri- ads of plants and flowers diffuses itself ! through the air alike in spring, summer, au-
 tumn and winter.
 One of the chief attractions of Los Ange-
 les is the excellent and unique style of fenc- ing employed in enclosing the vineyards, and
 the irrigating ditches which course through
 the city in every conceivable direction. These
 are called zaHjas, and are in charge of an off
 cer who is called the zahjeru, whose duty it is
 tO keep the dtches in repair, and who is held i responsible for fair distribution oi the water, 1 'ssich IS a!snost as precious as gold. The ] fence, with very few exceptions, consist of willow trees planted from ten to twenty feet
 apart, the space between which, when the
 trunks are in their infancy, being filled with
 brush and branches.

Signor Lotti's celebrated German Opera
Troupe, which il to appear in this city at
the Adelphi Thealer next Monday night,
is creating a big sensation in Louisville,
and the papers of that city speak in glow
ing terms Of tia unsurpassed excellence
The Journal SAYS of its performance ON the
night Of the 18Th;
Zone of the largest and most fashiona-
lie audiences we have seen for some time,
assembled at the Lonisville TheateE last
night to greet Loiti's Opera Troupe, who
made their first appearance in the grand
opera of "Faust." The opera, we rejoice
TO say, was a complete success. The Prima
Donna. Marie Frederici, fairly won all
hearia by her beautiful and exquisite sing
inc. The opera, as a whole, was indeed
eloriously rendered. The first scene Of
the fourth act, where the celebrated march
in Faust occurs, was given with fine effect,
and so earnest was the applause that the
entire scene was repeated
Their appearance in Nashville next
week will doubtless institute rush Tor the
box Office and good seats. In the mean
time, il may be well enough to remember
that tickets can be procured at McClure
music store, Union street, now.

FIRST PREsBYTER1AK CHURCH, NASH
VILE, Jan. IA, 186S.-Ata meeting of the
Session of this church, A. w. Putnam, Jas.
Nichol and ID. f. Carter were appointed a
committee to prepare and present some
suitable tribute Of respect 10 the memory
of Col r. II. MeEwen, a member and
Ruling Elder Of this church. The follow
ing paper was presented, adopted, ordered
to be recorded upon the minutes of the
Session, offered for publication, and copy
to be furnished to the family:
Our venerable and esteemed brother in
Christ and associate Elder, Col. r. H. Nc
Even, having departed this life Sabbath
evening, 18th inst, it is proper, and In full
accord with our feelings and with the SEN
timent of this church, that we give and re-
cord an expression of the consideration in
which be was held among as.
Col McEwen was the most advanced in
wears and an Elder of longest standing of
amy in our midst-haying been member
Of the church in Fayetteville, Tenn, in
l826-whenee he removed to this city in
1928, and in 1929, was chosen as an
Elder under the pastOrate of Rev. Obediah
Jennings, and was one of the three or four
Elders here at the installation of Rev.
John T. Edgar in 1888. lie performed
the dHties of Clerk of Session with much
care and faithfulness for more than thirty
three years. He was distinguished for
prudent counsel and consistent zeal ia
all matters appertaining TO the interests OF
this church and the prosperity of Zion; a
! Presbyterian of clear and decided views,
vet ever cordial in his greetings to all who
loved the Lord Jesus Christ pleasant with
the Young, he was devoted to the Sabbath
School, and rarely failed attendance there
or at meetings Of the church or its sess
sions. An illness, continued through many
years and increased with age, prevented
his further service as an ofhce-beareT
during the two years last past. The feeble
ness and wasting Of his body did not i'm
pair his faith in the Son Of God, nor ms
hope of peaceful, blessed Immortality
His end was peace; he has fallen ASLEEP
in Jesus, whom he loved, in whom he
hoped, and has left Us much worthy o.
study and imitation, and good reason tC
hold his memory dear.
To ourselves, as Elders, we take the adj
monition, "prove faithful, watch, be dill
gent and hold fast, ill He shall come who
hath called you TO his service and his king
DOM"
To the members of this church, we say,
as with His voice, walk worthy of the higf
calling wherewith We are called, for faith
ful is He who hath called you.'
And 10 the bereaved widow Of our friend
and brother, we add, 1T is God, YOU
Heavenly Father, who has now given yoI
this new name, widow, and right tC

The New York Journal Of Commerce OF
the afternoon of the 18th inst. says: "The
money market continues in good supply of
capital. Call loans are mostly made on
stock collaterals at 6 per cent, and upon
government securities in large sums at
lower rate. The range of discount for
the best mercantile paper is 7@S per cent.

10 per cent"
The Commercial Bank at Memphis, one
of the free banks of this State, suspended
Monday morning. The liabilities are re-
ported at $4,000 and the assets 100000.
The suspension created some excitement,
and caused run to be made upon other
banks in the city, but the excitement was
soon alIayed. Money is scarce at Memphis,
owing to the failure of the crops in the
territory tributary to that city, and tht
falling off of business. Collections are re-
ported as very hard to make.
