! .ITne Meeting this Evening.

Democrats SHOULD remember the meeting CALL
ed for this evening. The interests Of the people
demand that there shall lie an effort nude TO stop
the growing extravagance of the City govern
ment, and this can only be done through astrong
party, which shall combine the efforts OF the
masses to this end. +,-,rs..
Let the Democrats attend in large numbers TINS
evening and thus prove to the people that me INC
party has lost nothing Of its ancient desire TO as
slst in the promotion of good wise and eeonomh
cL government. Remember that the city taxes
in 1871 under DemoeNtic administrations were
very much less than in 1872 and that the taxes Of
1873 are about 1l% per cent higher on real es,
tate than in 1879 This tax has oil to come ou'
of the people who labor. Rents have been very
Oh and 1t should be the effort OF the Council 10
economize in every way 10 reduce expenses
That too much money is required to conduct 'ns
city government is the opinion Of nearly every
man we meet. But unfortunately they will &c
nothing TO bring about better state Of affairs.

LECTURE.

BY request, Thomas A. Carey Dist.
Deputy of the order Of Patrons OF Hus-
bandry, gave lecture at the Court
House on Wednesday evening last, to
u large and attentive audience. Space
will not permit us giving more than q
brief synopsis of his address.
The lecturer said that the order was
spoken of first during the presidency Of
Johnson, the National grange being
organized ON the 4th day of Decernber
1867. It's objects were to stop eficroAeh-
ments of monopolies, and to establish
facilities in trade that would tend to
bring the producer and consumer to-
gether in business transactions, and to
avoid the necessity of middlemen. The
order in it's incipiency received cold en-
enlargement, if any at all, there being
but two oranges organized during 1868.
1t was not long after, when the order
began springing in several Of the
States, and was now like tidal wave
sweeping over the entire land; that
within the last six months no less
than 5000 oranges have been organic
ed. The order was planted in Califor-
mia on the 18th of July, and, already,
within the short period OF four months
there were 104 oranges in working Or
der. The movement is not confined to
this country alone, but was spreading
In Great Britain and Germany. The
speaker then gave some wholesome re-
marks upon the cost Of sewing ma
chimes, reapers, ETC., the price paid for
them, and pointed out way in which
everything could be obtained at nearly
first cost. The Southern Dist. Agri-
cultural Fair was passed upon in
very pleasing manner, and in unqual-
flied terms, the speaker said that it
was no representation of onr agricul-
tural resources. The lecture through
out was interesting, and highly ap-
preciated.-[ Guardian, Nov. 90.

Eastern Feeling about Cuba.

In very ~arlike editorial, the N.
Y. Herald thus states the demand
of the President in the Virginius case:
The President demands the formal
delivery Of the Virginius to officers OF
our government in q port Of the United
States; the release and restoration to
our protection of the surviving cap
tives; a money indemnity to the heirs
of ali taken from on board the Vir-
ginius and put to death; the trial and
punishment of General Burriel and all
other responsible officers; the imme-
diate and unconditional abolition of
slavery in Cuba as the source Of all
pending difficulties and complaints.
We will welcome war as the solution
of difficulty that has troubled our
statesmen for generations, and as the
legitimate means Of inficting right
eous and merited punishment upon q
barbarous foe; and as plucky old Eng
land goes all the way to Ashantee to
punish the murder Of people entitled
to her protection, it will 60 hard If we
cannot inflict q similar punishment in
our own waters, and in the very sight
and hearing of our people.

LOS ANGELES SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 6, 1873,
DIFFICULTIES OF 4 s1okER's WIFE.

A writer in Good Words tells the
following story of the difficulty some
people meet with endeavoring to lead
q "religious life." A lady had gone to
visit q young couple of the better class
of the poor. They had no children,
and the husband being stoker on q
railway, they were above the reach Of
want. Under these circumstances 1t
seemed to the visitor that they might
have attended to their religious duties
at least to the extent Of going to
church on Sundays, and she ventured
to intimate as much to the young wo-
man, who was standing rather idly at
the door. "Will you please walk in
till show you something?" was the
woman's answer; and she conducted
hersvisitor to the little kitchen, where
her husband sat by the fire. He had
Just come home for half an hour to
have his tea, and was watching the
kettle with the most absorbing inter.
est. He was of course in his working
clothes, and his face and hands were OF
deep oily black, after the manner of
stOkerS.
uNow, ma'am,n said the woman,
pointing to him, "you see that there
man; that's my husband, and Pm
bound to do a part by him, amt II"
"Surely," said the visitor, anxious to
uphold the duties Of matrimony.
'Very we'll then; would you like to
know how l pass my Sundays? A
washing of he! Never a blessed mo-
ment has he to wash himself through
the week, out early and late, and half
the night, too, and blacker nor any
crow all the while. Well, on Sundays
it is fitting and proper that he should
try to look like q Christian if he can,
so he sets me to it after we eats our
breakfast, with 'bucketful of soa psuds
and scrubbing brush, and I rubs at
him off and on all day, till my arms
ache, and he amt much better than
he wor: and then after we have our
tea he says to me, Come, Sally, have
another try, there's brave wench,'
and l goes at him again, and sluces
him down till you'd think him born
Niger 'ud come out white; and, II
You'd believe me, ma'am, when / pol
ishes him off with dry towel afore
he goes to bed, he's only light brown
after all.u What was to be said to such
stubborn facts; especially when the
good woman finished with the un-
answerable argument, $50 you see,
ma'am, them as wants to live religious

NO FIGHTING EDITOR REQUIRED.

A Western editor has put in practice
y plan which will enable all papers to
dispense with the usual fighting MEM
be Of the staff. One morning he was
waited on by the biggest kidd Of fell
low, armed with q terrific cudgel, with
several and sundry protuberances
sticking out all around, marvelously
resembling Colts, Deringers and
Bowies, who saluted him with,
"Where's that scoundrel, the editor?"
Our friend said, "He is not about; but
please take seat and amuse yourself
with paper; he will be in few min
utes." and hurried. down stairs, at the
foot of which he met another man still
more profane and fierce, who asked
the same question in the same Ian
guage. "Oh," said the retreating edi-
tor, Ego up stairs; you will find him
reading the paper Accordingly up
he went, like high-pressure steam
engine, letting off steam at every step.
Our friend waited minute, and such
q crash-slam, bang, oath, curse, OBJ
iurgation--as If all Pandemonium was
let loose. What the result was was
never known, as ourfriend didn't wait.

short gray hair; takes considerable
pains to sit on its rurnp, with his hind
legs evenly fixed betweSn the fore feet
1t is very docile, can make sort Of q
growl, not y bark The animal was

The building Of the Opera House in
San Francisco, on Nilsson street near
Third is well under way, the first
story and iron front being already
erected. The work Is to be pushed for
ward rapidly, in order to have the roof
perfected before the rainy season sets
in. In this theatre building, it Is es-
mated that a greater length Of time
will be taken up In fitting and finish
ing the interior of the walls and roofs;
and consequently the nrst performance
is not expected to take place before
the 22d Of FEBRUARY next. Much Of the
interior work is now being done under
the supervision OF an experienced
