POLICE CoURT.-Last evening, a trial was held
before Mayor Simms, which occupied the whole
evening. Matthew Maloney, living on Third
street, and between Monroe and Adams, brought
suit against one Of his next door neighbors, Mrs
Patrick Flinn for permitting water to run from
her cellar into his, to the detriment Of his pro.
perty and health. 1t seems that row of houses
here were built upon what was formerly quarry
lot, and consequently the cellars were mostly
overfowed at every rain. Maloney, and one OF
his neighbors, laid drain, at their own expense,
which kept their cellars clear, but recently the
water from Mrs. Flnn's cellar which Is not drain.

How TO be Happy.

A French philosopher laid down three
rules for the attainment of happiness.
The first was occupation; the second
occupation; and the third and last was
still occupation. 1t develops your men
tai and physical powers. You were Gre
ated for it. Brain and Judgment, sinew
and muscle, bone and blood, were all
given you to be thus used. Unused,
they rust, and wither and shrivel and
decay. Brought into active, healthful
exercise, they bring happiness to you of
which the idle, listless man knows not.
Even the sleep of the toiler has Joy
and rest that others can imagine but
never realize.
Establish hours of rest and relaxation.
TO the hardest worker comes the blessed
day of rest, interleaved among the seven
days of the week. This, at least, the law
allows him to command for his own; and
the happy tendency of our times is to
give him other hours of rest besides, to
enjoy with. the loved ones at home. But
those who work with the mind, as well
as the body, should have even more
hours of rest and relaxation with their
family, embarrassed by the wearing bus
mess tolls of life, free from its corroding
and cankering cares, and dedicated to
happiness and recuperation.
Visiting recently one of the busiest
men in the United States, 1 found that
he had laid down the law of his daily
life that, when he turned his back on
his office, he left all its thousand details
behind him till the morrow shut out
absolutely his multiplied business cares
when he closed the door of his dwelling
and there, in the fullness of enjoyment
with his family, renewed his daily youth
by mingling with the amusements OF
the household. To such, life has daily
zest never realized by him who carries
his business, at home, as in his counting
room, like a clanking chain always
hanging upon his limbs.

CRIMINAL SECRECY.--The martnets of the
medical profession insist that it is beneath the
dignity of regular physician to advertise. IF
a member of the faculty should discover an
absolute. remedy for any disease it would be
breach of professional decorum to offer the
specific for sale through the Journals of the
day. Scornipg such prejudices, one Of our
leading practitioners is now making known to
the public through the columns of over three
thousand newspapers, one of the most COM
prehensive remedies for disease that has ever
assuaged the sufferings of humanity. DR..
WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs,
although comparatively new medicine, has
already attracted :he atte ntion of millions in
both hemispheres. 1t has been advertised
through all the channels accessible to advertis-
ing enterprise, and the result has been the
preservation of thousands of lives, and the
prevention Of an untold amount of physical
torture. DIR. Walker thinks that the great
est good of the greatest number" is the true
object of medical science, and hence he steps
boldly out of the contracted circle of profess
sional exc usiveness, and places his Great Re-
storative within the reach of all. It's bene-
fetal effect in cases of chronic dyspepsia, bill
iousness, kidney disease, gout, diseases of
throat and lungs, rheum atism, nervous COM
plants, and all disorders of the secretive and
eXcretive organs, is beyond all estimate.

Tho California Indians,

This house is planted seemingly hy
chance, anywhere, without relations to
anything except usually another house
Just like it. 1t has flap door, made of
an old apron or dress but under the
same roof you will generally find another
room, with door which is fastened. At
first thought this an apartment 60 let,
but it is store-house, and seems to be a
sort of genteel sham, for every one into
which got peep was empty, or very
nearly so. It had probably the same
relation to the dignity and good stand
ing of family that an Theoretically
sealed parlor has to a respectable coun-
tryman's house in New England. If
you can tell the difference between nero
squalor, and filth, you would see that
these Indian houses and their inhabitants
are not dirty. 1 think it likely that
they learned cleanliness from the old
Spanish Californians, who, il should be
known, are eminently cleanly people.
At one of these houses, at little dis
tance from Temecula, begged some hot
water to prepare myself little lunch
and while this was getting ready took
an inventory of the interior. 1t contain
ed three children, very old blind man,
who bent over the fire and muttered to
himself; three women; girl who was
rubbing wheat on tortilla stone
man sleeping on the beds, with his head
covered and his feet sticking out near
the fire; baby tied into wooden
frame, in which the little ones are held,
carried, and rocked fire, few baskets
which are beautifully made by these
o,,I ~,
dies, an ox-yoke, table, a sieve, two
earthen aguas in which water is kept
cool in this country a stone mortar and
pestle, a gridiron, a coffee-pot, an AK, a
sun-bonnet, a pair of laced shoes, care
fully hung up and evidently not often
used, and small picture of some saint
Outside stood.two very respectable look
ing wash-tubs, several pots-and for the
rest, dogs. Now here was an outfit in
fact, superior to that which 1 noted in
several Pike shanties OH the way. Here
were preparations for living simply, but,
after all, not uncleanly. Beyond this
the Indian does not get. AS you ride
through the country, you can tell at
distance the character of the inhabitants
OF house you are approaching. If the
house is Of reeds and straw, the owner is
an Indian if it is of adobe, it is Span
lard who lives there if it is of frame, be
sure it is an American" as we of the
old States proudly call ourselves. Often
the wooden house is mere box, smaller
and less comfortable than the Indians
straw hut, but it is of wood. The Indian,
in this part of the State, is harmless
Being white, and of the superior race,
therefore, you have the privilege of en-
tering any Indians house, and you will
be kindly received, and if you want
water out of his aqua, or wish to cook
your own dinner at his fire, you are well
come. You will prefer to camp out be-
side your own fire, in the open, rather
then take lodgings in his house.-Cor. ".

DIED SUDDENLY OF HEARrD1sEAsE.

How common is the announcement. Thous-
ands are suddenly swept into eternity by this
fatal malady. This disease generally has its
origin in impure blood filled with irritating,
poisonous materials, which, circulating
through the heart, irritate its delicate tissues.
Though the irritation may at first be only
slight, producing little palpitation or irregu-
lar action, yet by and by the disease becomes
firmly seated, and Inflammation, or hypertro-
ply, or thickening of the lining membrane or
of the valves, is Produced. How wise to give
early attention TO case of this kind. I'M
natural throbbng or pain in the region of the
heart should admonish one that all is not
right, and if you would preserve it from fur
lher disease, YOU must help it to beat rightly
by the use of such remedy as shall remove
the cause or the trouble. Use Dr.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery before the disease
has become too seated, and it will by its great
blood purifying and wonderful regulating prop
critics, effect perfect cure. 1t contains me-
dicinal properties which act specifically upon
the tissues Of the heart, bringing about a
healthy action. Sold by all first-class Drug

Patent Medicines.

Scarcely week passes that letters do
not reach us asking if some one or other
of various specifics advertised in the
newspapers are all they claim to be.
In reply to all such inquiries, we do not
propose to give our body or that of our
children to the uncovenanted mercies"
of empires. No medicine passes any
palate in our family that is not pre-
scribed by doctor in good and regu-
lar standing" If the baby cries with
single or double tooth coming, we do
not straightway dose him with some
vile soothing syrup, thus laying the
foundation for real arrangement and
disease, but put him in the little car
riage, send him outdoors, let him cry,
amuse him, tire him out, not drug him
into insensibility. Most mothers are
not aware how fearfully opium eating is
on the increase in this country. Why
should it not be when seven infants out
of ten take it with their daily food !?
But the child's bowels need regulating.
Very we'll, diet will regulate them with
out the use of medicine. A severe
diarrh9a or fit of constipation does not
come on in an hour. Boiled milk will
check the first in its beginnings, dried
figs, oat meal, mush, apples, will pre-
vent the other Teething is natural
process, attended with pain like some
other natural processes, but the nearer
one conforms to the laws of health the
less pain will be experienced. 1t is
nothing else than wicked to quiet babies
with that which charges the blood with
poison, congests the brain, breaks down
the nervous system, and dwarfs the in
tellect. AS to patent medicines gener-
ally, it is simply astonishing that men
whose sole business it is to study the
nature of disease, the qualities and eff
tects of remedial agents, and acquaint
themselves with all that may be known
of this mysterious human organism, are
so totally distanced by self-taught en-
pirics who with one panacea are able to
cure all the ills that flesh is heir to-

YEAS AND NEIGHs.-If horses could make
themselves understood in human language
they would signify by universal Yea" their
assent to the statement that the MUSTANG LIN
IMENT is the best remedy eXtant for all these
external ailments, and by most emphatic
Neigh!" show their dispeasure at every at
tempt 10 use any other preparation in its
stead. Ever since its introduction at St.
Louis, at the close OF the Mexican War, in
1919, it has proves a signal blessing to horse
and man-curing, with absolute certainty
and wonderful despatch, such equine diseases
as SPAWN, ringbone, poll evil, scratches, hoof-
ale, &c, and relieving and finally removing
the affections which attack the muscles, sin
ews, and external glands OF human beings. 1t
is fact beyond contradiction that for all in
Juries or complaints OF man or quadrupeds to
which an external remedy is applicable, the
MUSTANG LINIMENT is preferable to every
other
