N EW YORK..

ing, of Nathan-murder notoriety, was
committed to the TOmbs for burglary,
to-day.
James Linen, poet and contributor
to the KnickerbOcker Magazine, died
here to-day. Deceased was well
known in California, having resided
several years in San Francisco.
Col. Scott says that since the Direc-
tors of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company have declared a scrip divi-
dend, the company is in condition to
go on without further trouble and will
meet all obligations.
Another dispatch from Madrid says
that second attempt was made to
assassinate Minister Sickles, and that
he was wounded. His position is very
uncomfortable, but he believes the
Spanish authorities are able to pro-
tect him.
A large number of naval officers
have been ordered to duty at once, and
there is great activity at all the navy
yards in preparing vessels for sea In
less than thirty days, fleets will be in
the Cuban waters.
1ngersoll has been committed to the
Tombs to await trial on writ of in
dictment, being unable to give bail.

Brooklyn Navy Yard, and every effort
is being made to fit out vessels rapidly.
Workmen are busy night and day, and
this morning 500 more men were put
at work.
Dispatches in reference to the re-
ported rupture between Minister
Sickles and the Spanish Government,
excites great public interest. The
situation is excitedly and eagerly dis
cussed everywhere, and great crowds
of men are around the bulletin boards
of the various newspaper offices. The
impression seems to be that the Span
ish Government does not desire war,
and that peace would be maintained.

Suggestions for the Future.

EDITORS HERALD: NoW is the time
to prepare the public mind for the
next years fair. To this end an "Ob-
server" wishes to make few sug-
gestiOns: aur e
First-Make the Racing" and the
Farmers Exhibition two distinct
organizations; the one to be managed
by the race horse men and the other
to be managed by the farmers and
mechanics, or the Changers.
Second-Have both held at the same
time, SO that all can enjoy each.
Third-Have them held at u time
when the great speciality of Los Ange-
leges-the semi-tropical fruits which
give her worldwide fame-are in
full perfection, and when the State
has not just been satiated with COM
mon fairs. Her wheat, barley, rye and
Oats-all products except the grape
and a few early fruits-can be eX-
hibited as well in February as in No
vemDer. 1t is true her grape culture
would have to be represented in her
Uines and brandies, and in preserved
specimens. The past fair was after
the grape crop was gone and before
the orange was matured.
Fourth-With this plan assented to-
now, or soon, all parties in interest
would work to it the coming season.
The farmer would show his bushels of
corn-two pounds to the ear-and all
his products would be brought with
good zeal and placed in order. Pyra-
mids of oranges, lemons, lines and
bananas, would greet the eye on every
side of the pavilion Every department.
of art and mechanics would catch the
enthusiasm and would contribute,
aOithout fear, to the enlargement and
adornment of the pavilion exhibition.
The nurserymen possibly could box,
in season, young bearing orange, lime
and lemon trees, and have them on
hand at the proper time loaded with
fruit to greet the eye of the visitor.
The farmers could manage to exhibit
their fine draft horses, mules and road
sters; their Normandy stations and
Kentucky jacks; their fine sheep, hogs,
goats and cattle. The race men could
show their race stock to good advan-
tage.
Fifth-Prepare pavilion adequate
to such an exhibition, advertise it in
this State and the East in proper time,
and thousands, instead Of hundreds,
would come to see US. OBSERVER.

directly interested in the growth and coming
greatness OF Santa Barbara. The uneQualed
loveiness of the climate, its almost incredible
healthiulness, the beauty of the scenery, the
w,ondrous variety and fertility OF the soil, the
almost unlimited range of products which
flourish there without irrigation, will be
known from time to time by facts which can
not be controverted, in the columns of the
PRESS. Any intelligent person can become
