Justice of the Peace.

EDITOR HERALD:-It seems to me
that thoughtless people are making
great mistake i'm burlesquein9 the Office
OF Justice Of the Peace. 1t is not one OF
those positions which we can afford TO
trite with. X Justice OF the Peace in
this State has jurisdiction III all civil
causes forany amount under S3tO. rms
includes almost four-tifthS of the liti-
CATION of the people. The mass rarely
have a suit which involves sufficient
to place it within the jurisdiction of
the District Courts. Poor men, espe-
cially, are the litigants who are COM
PEELED to seek justice in the minor
courts. Now, | would ask, are poor
mems rights proper subjects for ridi-
cule? Are they not entitled to at least
as respectable an order of ability in
the Judges who will decide their eases
as the rich. The correct answer would
be that they are more entitled to it
than the rich, for if rich man be dis
satisfied with 4 decision, it need not
be final with him, while poor man
nearly always cXhausts his means III
the first effort and in the court OF first
Instance.
It is not necessary that Il man should
be practicing lawyer to fill aJustice's
bench creditably and to the satisfac-
ton of all. But he should, at least be
4 man OF education,- whose voca-
ton has habituated him to analyze all
questions into the elements of right
and wrong, and one who is sufficiently
read in the law to fully understand its
uhiIosoDuy and principles.
You We're pleased, "a few days since,
TO recommend me to the public on the
ground that | was a brother journalist.
| doubt if it occurred to you at the
fine that there was II more profound
significance in the remark than you
intended. \ man who is successful rs
q journalist could not, Intellectually,
be a failure as. II judge. His profession
is constant tax upon his conception
of equity. If he be conscientious
journalist, his mind will have been
constantly exercised in discriminating
between right and wrong, and after
All this is the essence of law.

COMING sSTYLE.-Of autumn modes
it is hardly time to speak definitely,
only one thing being assured. The
pgomise of plainness, made in the ear
iy summer, will be strictly kept. Su-
perabundant tlounces and furbclOws
will take an unlimited leave of win
ter wardrobes, and artistic simplicity
reign in their stead How our weary
and over-dressed women have sighed
for this change, they only are aware;
and that they will hail the new order
with delight is undoubted. 1t is
limited that the prospective styles will
require not more than half the guam
tity of the past; but this is a dream
that seems impossible of realization.
1t is not otsimprobable that the newly
modelled garments may havea 'skimpy'
appearance, but familiarity will soon
arrange that, and once accustomed
to il, weary eyes will be thankful
they are no longer compelled to wan
der over vast fields of fiutings and
hedoerows of headings. ....r.
Plainness of fabric, no less than OF
fashion, is to be the rule. New goods,
different from any yet produced, will
soon be shown, and new colors, or
rather new shades, are eminent. The
tints and double-dstiled shades of last
year Were so unbecoming to Americans
that the dry goods houses are import
ing only novel hues, which, it is eX-
pected, will satisfy the most. eXacting.

PROSPECTUS
The Los ANGELES HERALD.

The first of October, THE Los ANGELES ii En-
AID, II daily and weekly newspaper, will
make its appearance. The Daily Will be a
neat and tastily printed seven-colnmn news
paper, newsy rather than literary in charac-
ter. The Weekly will be ii six-column, eight
page paper, and will contain the most impor-
tant matter that has previously appeared in
TIE DAILY HERALD.
II is proposed that the HERALD shall be an
unbought advocate of every interest pertain
ing to Southern California and Arizona, and
IA Jealous worker in all things that shall tend
to benefit the state. In Il word il will be i'm
close communion with the People. In its col
umns, from time to time will be found mat
ters of interest to the California Farmer, Me-
chanic, Merchant, l.aborer and all CLASSES of
Producers and ii will also contain reading
matter suited to the Home Circle.
The HERALD will be an Independent Demo
cratic jonrnal and its efforts directed to sweep
ing from power and place those now mSman-
aging the affairs ofthe Nation. FOrthc accom-
plishmcnt Ofthis end, il Will hail with satist;ic
ton the cooperation ofthe members of all Par
ties, believing that the prosperity, perhaps
safety, of the Nation depends upon the success
ofa movement ofthis character. 1t is" reform
now or revolution hereafter"
The III ERALD VIII advocate state Rights ana
oppose Capitalization; II twill encourage White
and oppose Coolic Immigration. 1t will favor
Free Trade, and oppose Protective Tariff; il
will advocate a Grecnback Currency for Cali
fornia, and oppose the present dwarfing and
deadening policy which uphOlds the present
runous rates of interest and shuts out Eastern
capital. 1t will advocate the People and OPP
pose Monopolies, no matter what guise they
may assume
While the HERALD will treat Slavery as IL
dead issue, il will earnestly advocate the
right of every state, be it Northern or South
ern-MassachuSetts or South CarOlna-to GOV
ern itself in accordance with the wishes Of Its
people, and the dictates of the Federal Con-
stitilton, without national Interference
The HERALD will oppose thieving and pecu-
laton. No man rightly owns II dollar until
he earns it. Every dollar which is taken
from the public treasury or private purse
without a just return is robbery, and he who
takes this money is IL thief Believing this,
the Ii ERALD will oppose salary steals, custom
steals, land steals, r,ilroad steals, and every
kind of steals
Each day, the fullest Foreign and Domestic
Tclegrams will he published. The aim will
be to supply, in this part of the state, the tie
mand heretofore filled by the san Francisco
dailies. No trouble or expense Will be spared
to make the HERALD, in this respect, equal To
any newspaper on the Coast. IT viii also con-
tain full Review Of the Local and Foreign
Markets, and the Trades generally, honestly
and carefully compiled.

JESTIMONIALS:
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,
DEPA RTNI ENT OLE LA NGUAGES.

OAKLAND, July II, 1872. J
Herewith certify that Miss Josephine Lind
ley has been student i'm my department of
the University for five consecutive terms viz:
from September, 1870, to April 3d, 1872. During
this time she studied the French, the Spanish
and the German languages, obtaining always
the highest marks for proficiency and attend
ance, her average credit mark for five terms
being " per cent.
On entering the University, Miss Lindley
possessed already such knowledge of the
French and Spanish idioms as to be able to
speak them with ease, fuency, correctness,
and pure pronunciation.
She may now he considered thoroughly IA
mliar with the theory and philosophy, as well
as with the application of these two tongues;
and she may safely be recommended as Il can
didate of great promise, for teaching the
French and Spanish languages.

The Great Lakes.

The elaborate report of the sur
vey of the great lakes of the West
and Northwest by Maj. Comstock,
of the Engineers Department, is a
very interesting document. The
great lakes have q shore line Of s.
900 miles, of which I 800 have been
surveyed by the Lake Survey. The
surveys Of Lake st. Clair, Lake
Huron and Lake Superior are COM
pleted, although a small amount of
work remains to be done to connect
its triangulation with that # Lake
Michigan. The survey Of the shore
line and the photography of Great
Britain will be completed this sum-
mer. The survey of the st. Law
renee River has been carried from
the north boundary Of New York
to Lake Ontario. There remain TO
be surveyed Lake Champlain, on
which the coast survey is now at
work, Lake Erie and the Niagara
River. The report says that the
needs of commerce on the lakes
are greater rather than less than on
the ocean. Fogs are more frequent,
vessels are always near the land,
and charts are more necessary.
The lake tonnage in 1871 was 49,
027 tons, fully half as much as the
foreign tonnage, and the shipping
on the great laks is an interest OF
such magnitude as to require every
advantage that can be given to it,
The reports alludes to the great de-
mand for charts, 5000 being now
issued every year. Measurable
tides have been shown to exist in
both Lake Michigan and Lake Su.
perior, and it is probable that they
will be found in Lake Huron also
the popularity being that the tide
wave moves from north to south
instead Of from east to west.

Whaling i'm 1922.

The review Of the whale fishery
for 1862, published in the New
Bedford Sd"dord. shows ill-succcss
as to pecuniary returns. The home
consumption OF whale oil has fallen
off greatly during the year just
passed, willie the foreign demand
has been very small. OF the lj6
whalers at sea, Ill are from New
Bedford. One Of the sixty-fve
finished voyages, only two or three
have resulted in handsome profits
to owners, many Of whom have lost
money. The whaling fleet is stead
lily decreasing in numbers, princi-
pally by the transfer Of many Of
the vessels into other business. The
sperm whalers were only modera-
tely successful. During 1872, TO-
244 barrels of oil were taken, and
2lO,S16 lbs. of whalebone, which in
all respects is a great falling off as
compared with the returns of the
previous year. There are 204
whalers ownes in the different ports
of the country, and the figures Civ
en- above include all of the great
whaling ports

A Double Murder.

Friday week, at Piney Branch
Station, Rockcastle county, Ky, on
the Knoxville branch road, Geo. W.
Murray, manager Of a trainway in
connection with a coal mine, in a
quarrel with young man named
Walker Bledsoe, knocked him off a
car on the trainway. Bledsoe's
step-father, Lee Arnold, accosted
Murray about il a few minutes la
ter, when the latter drew a pistol,
but threw il down and the two
commenced fighting. Finding Ar
mold overpowering him, Murray
reached for the pistol and shot his
adversary through the stomach, in
flicting a mortal wound. Arnold
sprang up, seized a handspike and
literally beat out Murray's brains
with it, killing him instantly. Both
men are married and have families.

AlPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
Tuesday, February 4, 1879.

This week we are able to report
the most cheering news in regard to
smallpox that we have for two
months. The number of case.
grows less very rapidly, and what
few are taken down now are still
in houses where some other patient
has had the disease. We have gone
through with the many trials, cares
and cautions connected with the
disease, and are now consoling our
selves that it has seen its day.
will now be thought of as one of
the things that were. We are con-
tinually hearing Of smallpox
breaking out i'll other localitie.
now, and the sad havoc resulting
in it, but we feel that we have but
very little to fear in the future, a.
its prevalence here has caused
nearly every one to be vaccinated
thoroughly, thus preventing the
further spread Of the disease, while
the Board Of Health have acted so
promptly that the dreaded pest
has been made TO yield to the stlin-
gent measures and treatment.
To our friends elsewhere we can
once more extend an earnest appeal
10 come and see Us, and we viii
guarantee that You will be less la
bic to take the smallpox here than
vou will in hundreds Of other
place, where the disease is Just
breaking out, as 'we have met the
enemy, and laid them away forest.

Local NEws.-Some people are
Of the opinion that a newspaper
must always be well filled with To-
cal items, no matter whether they
happen or not. But these same
people do not take into considera-
tion that there are many, many
items which happen, and ought TO
appear in the papers, which, if the
editor should happen to ask an eye
witness of some important item, if
he will give the particulars, the an
swer generally comes, IL don't know
anything about it." Thus it is.
and still the paper Is looked over
and over again by this same indi-
vidual for the item which he re-
fused to furnish. II is as irnpossi-
bic for an editor to be everywhere
at the same time as it is to fly to
the moon, and it is the duty of ev-
cry reader TO furnish the editor of
bis local paper with the particulars
Of items transporting in his neigh
borhood. By doing this one reader
hears Of something related TO the
editor, which he might not other
wise ever learned, and which might
be Of great importance to him.
Readers, send in all the items you
hear Of, write communication on
subjects of interest, and thus he of
some assistance to your local paper.
