ALEXANDER I'll. STEPHENS, ex-yicc-
president Of the Confederate States, whose
disabilities were removed last year, takes
his seat to-day as representative in Con-
gress from the Eighth or Charlottesville
Georgia. district. His temperance
on the stage in which he figured
so long will be an event. He sat
in the house eighteen years, from 1S43 to
1861, leader from first to last; was a
chief in the rebellion from 1861 to 1865,
and was imprisoned in Fort Warren and
released by Andrew Johnson in 1865 and,
after taking an active part in succeeding
politics, comes back pardoned by his gov
ernment to his old place, and welcomed by
all his late enemies. He was 6l February
IL, 1878, and is, perhaps, the feeblest
specimen of attenuated humanity ever seen
inside the National Capitol.

THE reported threatened famine in In
dia is looming up in Importance, and is an
existing fact according to accounts which
come to us from English sources. The
Hindoos depend almost exclusively on
rice, as the Irish before the famine did
upon the potato. OF late years, owing to
the increased construction OF works for
irrigation, the yields of rice have been
enormous. Little, however, of the old
crops we're held over, and the threatened
scarcity finds whole districts almost desti-
tutc of the staple food. The jute and
sugar-cane have also Withdrawn many
fields from the cultivation Of rice, leaving
even in ordinary seasons less surplus than
otherwise. Burdwan and Trihoot, where
the scarcity is most alarming, even in ordi-
nary years, are compelled to obtain sup
plies from Dude, Scinde and the Punjab.
The drought has, unfortunately, fallen up
ON these great provinces, also leaving |
diminished supply, and requiring impor
tation for their own uses. In the threat
ened districts the population is very dense
in Burdwan 573 to the square mile, and il
Trihoot 553. The population of Bengalt
by the census Of 1870, is 66,S56,S59 souls
"a population more numerous than tina
of the United States by 26.00o, 600, NOR
than all of North America by 10000, 0O(
The general falling off in the crop
bread-stuffs, both upon the Continent an
in England, makes the greater portion Q
the commercial world dependent upo
Russia and the United States for its sup
ply. The transportation Of the enormou
quantities needed will severely tax til
agencies at command, and in event of yer
great need in India, it would be wor
of no little difficulty to meet it.

PROSPECTUS
-OF---
THE Los ANGELES HERALD.

The first of October, THE Los ANGELES HER
AID, n daily and weekly newspaper, will
make its appearance The Daily will be
neat and tastily printed seven-colnmn news
paper, newsy rather than literary in charac-
ter. The Weekly Will be a six-cOlumn, eight
page paper, and will contain the most impor-
tant matter that has previously appeared in
THE DAILY HERALD.
1t is proposed that the HERALD shall be an
unbought advocate of every interest pertain
ing to Southern California and Arizona, and
jealous worker in all things that shall tend
to benefit the State. In word it will be in
close communion with the People. In It's col
umns, from time to time will be found mat
ters Of interest to the California Farmer, Me-
chanic, Merchant, LabOrer, and all classes of
Producers; and 1t 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 misman-
aging the affairs ofthe Nation. Forthe accom-
plishment ofthis end, 1t will hail with satisfac-
ton the cooperation Ofthe members of all Par
ties, believing that the prosperity, perhaps
safety, of the NatlOn depends upon the success
ofa movement Ofthis character. II Is " reform
now or revolution hereafter"
The HERALD will advocate state Rights and
oppose Capitalization; 1t Will encourage White
and oppose CoOlie Immigration. 1t will favor
Free Trade, and oppose Protective Tariff; 1t
will advocate q Greenback Currency for Cali
fOrnia, and oppose the present dwarfing and
deadening policy which upholds the present
ruinOus rates of interest and shuts out Eastern
capital. 1t will advocate the People and OPP
pose MonOpolies, no matter what guse they
may assume.
While the Herald will treat Slavery as II
dead issue, 1t viii earnestly advocate the
right of every Stntt be II Northern or South
ern itself in accordance with the wishes OF its
people, and the dictates OF the Federal Con-
stitution, without national Interference.
The HERALD will Oppose thievlng and pecu-
latiOn. No man rightly owns dollar until
he earns II. Every dollar which is taken
from the public treasury or private purse
without just return Is robbery, and he who
takes this money Is Il thief. Believing this,
the HERALD will oppose salary stealE custom
steals, land steals, railroad steals, and every
kind of steals.
Each day, the fullest Foreign and Domestic
kilograms will be published. The aim will
be to supply, in this part Of the State, the de-
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 1t will also con-
tain full Review of the Local and Foreign
Markets, and the Trades generally, honestly
and carefully compiled.

TESTIMONIALS:
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,
DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGES.

OAKLAND, July II, 1872
Herewith certify that Miss Josephine Lind
ley has been student in my department of
the University for five consecutive terms, viz:
from September, 1870, to April Sd, 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 W per cent.
On entering the University, Miss I4indley
possessed already such knowledge of the
French and Spanish idiOms as to be able to
speak them with ease, fuency, correctness,
and a pure pronunciation.
She may now be considered thoroughly IA
miliar with the theory and philosophy, as well
as with the application of these two tongues;
and she may safely be recommended as q can
dfdate of great promise, for teaching the
French and Spanish languages.

The San Francisco Bulletin of Oct.
Goth, records the death of noted lady
and pioneer of this State:
Mrs. Rachael Larkin, widow of the
late Thomas O. Larkin, expired at her
residence on Stockton street, at half
past o'lcock this morning. Mrs.
Larkin had been in ill health for many
years, suffering continually from neu-
ralgia, until her strong constitution
finally succumbed to the disease. She
was a native of Ipswich, Massachu-
sets, and at the time of her death was
nearly sixty-six yeaps OF age. She
was the first American lady who came
to California, arriving at Monterey in
1882. Her marriage with Thomas o.
I.arkin was celebrated on board the
United States ship Savannah in that
harbor. Mrs Larkin was widely known
and highly esteemed for her many
virtues, Kindness of heart, and noble
character. Early writer's upon Cali
fornia, Cotton, Dana, and Others, pay
high compliments in their works to
the estimable qualities of the deceased.
She leaves four children Of mature
years surviving Thomas Oliver, Fran
els Rogers, and Alfred o. Larkin and
Mrs. Samson Tams. The estate of the
family is very large. The will of the
deceased appoints o. l.. Kennedy,
Charles HI. Sawyer and William Har-
ney executors of the estate.

ABOUT CHARCOAL. - Among the
many properties of charcoal, may be
mentioned its power of destroying
smell, taste, and color; and as proof
Of possessing the first quality, iii be
rubbed overputrid meat, the smell will
be destroyed. If piece Of charcoal
be thrown into putrid water, the
water will be rendered completely
fresh. Sailors are aware of this; for
when water is bad at sea, they are in
the habit Of throwing pieces Of burnt
biscuit into it to purify it. Color Is
materially Influenced by charcoal,
and, in a number of instances in q very
irregular way. If take you dirty
black syrup, and filter 1t through
burnt charcoal, the color will be re-
moved. The charcoal of animal mat
ter appears to be the best for this pur-
pose. You may learn the influence of
charcoal in destroying cOlOrs by fl
tering a bottle of port wine through
1t; In the filtration it will lose great
portion of its colOring, and become
tawny; repeat the process two or
three times, and you have destroyed
its color altogether.
