Il museum and a library from the vast
materials that may now be gathered,
but which if longer neglected will
soon be among the things that are not.
The romantic missionary age of CAL
ifornia while under Spanish govern
ment, from 1857 to 1892, is full of fas-
cinating interest, and all the archives
of that period should be sacredly pre-
served, where the student of history
can have continued access to their
treasure.
The next great period, from 1872 to
lS41, while under Mexican rule, is
fresh in the minds of many of the en-
inent citizens of Los Angeles, and
they would no doubt esteem it pleas
urc to contribute from their libraries,
by their pens, and by public lectures,
much valuable information concern
ing their historic era. Since lS47, the
footprints of history are fresh and
easily followed and many contributors
can bring in store of historical re-
cords. Let spontaneous effort be
made 10y every one, to contribute a
book, map, a geological specimen, Il
picture, pamphlet, u parchment, an
ancient relic of any kind. This is an
enterprise in which all sects, and
creeds. and parties, and nationalities
can unite with emulation and enthu-
siasm. Do it, and Los Angeles will
be known abroad as place of enlight-
ened culture, and will attract to itself
the cultured of other lands, who will
here find intellectual enjOyments COM
bined with matchless climate.
In this enterprise each citizen can
do something, all can do great things.
The obligations we owe to the swift
coming future of great and conspic-
uous State, are upon us. Let us dis
charge them with generous and
bOuntful hand. ID. M. BERRY.

THE Los ANGELES HERALD.

The first of October, TIE Los ANGELES II Err
AID, "A daily and weekly newspaper, will
make its appearance. The Daily will he Il
neat and tastily printed seven-colnmn news
paper, newsy rather than literary in charac-
ter. The Weekly will he II six-coiumn, eight
page paper, and will contain the most impor-
tant matter that has previously appeared in
THE DAILY HERALD.
II is proposed that the HERALD shall he an
unbought advocate of every interest pertain
ing to Southern California and Arizona, and
n jealous worker in all things that shall tend
to benefit the State In n word il will be in
close communion with the People. In its col
uinnS, from time to time will be found mat
terS of interest to the California Farmer Me-
chanic, Merchant, IabOrer 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 misman-
plishmcnt Ofthis end, 1t will hail with satsfac
tion the corporation ofthe members of all Par
ties, believing that the prosperity, perhaps
safely, of the Nation depends upon the success
ofa movement ofthis character II is" reform

The HERALD will advocate State Rights and
oppose Capitalization; II will encourage White
and oppose CoOlie Immigration. 1t will favor
Free Trade, and oppose Protective Tariff; II
will advocate a Grccnback 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. II will advocate the People and OPP
pose MOnOpOles, no matter what guise they
may assume.
While the HERALD will treat Slavery as q

Eastern Bottles.

water and other liquids, and is fire.
quently used as a pitcher. The Eastern
bottle is made of goat or kip skin,
stripped off without opening the belly;
the openings made by cutting off the
tail and legs are sewed up, and when
filled it is tied about the neck.
The Arabs and Persians never go Il
journey without a small leathern bottle
by their side like a scrip. These skim
bottles preserve their water, milk, and
other liquids in II fresher state than
any other vessels they can use. The
people of the East, indeed, put into
them everything they mean to carry
to a distance, whether dry or liquid,
and very rarely make use of boxes or
pots, unless to keep such things as are
liable to be broken. They enclose
these leathern bottles in wOOlen sacks,
because their beasts of carriage often
fall down under their load, or east it
down on the sandy desert. This
method of transporting the necessaries
of life has another advantage; the
skin-bOttles not only perserve them
fresh, but defend them against the
ants and other insects, which cannot
pierce the skin; and they also prevent
the fine dust, of which immense guam
titles are constantly moving about in
the arid regions of Asia, from reaching
them. 1t is for these reasons that
provisions of every kind are enclosed
in vessels made of the skins of animals.
These bottles are liable to be rent,
when old or much used, and at the
same time are capable of being repair
ed. In the book of Joshua we are in
formed, the GibeOnites "tOOk wine-bot-
ties, old and rent, and bound up"
This is perfectly according to the GUS
tom of the East; and the manner in
which they mend their old and rent
bottles is various Sometimes they
sew in a piece; sometimes they gather
up the torn place in the manner of a
purse; sometimes they put in a round
fiat piece of wood, and by that means
stop the hole.
The liability of skin bottles to rend.
will explain a figure used in one OF
our Lords discOurses-"Neither do
men put new wine into old bottles,
else the bottles break, and the wine
runneth out, and the bottles perish
but they put new wine into new bottles,
andboth arepreserved." Being made OF
raw hide, they are, when new, capa-
BILE of accommodating themselves to tht
swellings of the liquor as it ferments
But when they have been once stretch
ed out i'm this way, and have become
old and shrivelled through use, they
do not admit of any further enlarge
ment, and will therefore give way i
new wine is poured into them. = Early

How the Buyer Gets the Advan-
tuge.

Asa rule the buyers knows more about
the quality and value of farm products
than those by whose labor they are pro-
duced. This is one Of the greatest mis-
takes Of our farmers. The buyer uses
tests which the farmer does not. When
the wool-buyer comes around he uses a
glass by which at glance he sees the
structure of the article in band. and
knows more about il In moment than
the man who has toiled year in lis pro-
duction. So it is with seeds. Pork is
examined in the same way, to test its
freedom from disease. Thus the buyers
know more about these things than those
who raise them. The best bargain is
sure to be made by the man who knows
the most. When the farmer knows
nothing about the quality Of what be
sells, he is helpless in the hands Of the
buyer. Knowledge is power when a
trade is being made. II may be safely
set down as rule that man who, by
natural or artificial means. knows hun.
dred times more than his neighbor. or
can see q hundred times rs much. will
know just ~ much more about the

THE FAST HORSE AT FAIRS.

Ought the fast horse to be beencouraged'
Was the question that came up at a late
meeting of the Union Farmers Club, in
Jametown N. Y. Mr.. Loucks was in
favor of speed, but he would have it in
the walk of horses, he would breed and
educate them in this direction. In his
view it is not absolutely necessary that
a man go through the world at a 2;4o
gait--gain Is minutes and then lose an
hour in extra care of the horse. At the
so called agricultural fairs fast driving
draws gamblers, whisky and rows, and
he advises the breaking away from it al
together. Mr.. Jenner said it is not the
speed in horse that makes him practic-
ally valuable to mankind, but the en-.
durance, the ease with which he is kept,
the docility and the health. Mr.. Gif
ford was of the opinion that it wrongab-
solutely and vicious in its effects to offer
large premiums for race horses and such
small ones for meritorious stock. He
would abolish the practice and thus, met
aphorically speaking, throw cold water
on the pool-seller and other disreputabl'
professionals.

The word cyclone has frequently, but
incorrectly, been used as significant Of an
enormous or very violent meteor. as if its
application was to be confined to the de-
wasting hurricane Of the West Indies, or
the terrific typhoon of the China seas.
1t simply means a storm which acts in
a circular direction, and whose winds
converge, by radials or sinuous spirals,
towards a center, moving our hemiphere
in the opposite direction to that of the
hands of clock, and in the Southern
Hemisphere in a contrary direction.
Taking this as definition Of cyclone.
it seems clear, from observation alone,
that all storms are to be regarded as cy-
clones. Volumes have been written to
prove that this is not the case. But We
have only to examine a few series of
weather maps from week to week to see
that, wherever you have an area Of low
barometer, into a central hollow the ex-
terror atmosphere from all sides will
pour, and that in so doing a rotatory
spiral or vorticose storm is generated.
The tornado, the simoons, the whirlwind,
the fire. storm, even the slow and slug
gish storm which moves on our Western
plain as the laboring wheel Of the steam
ship buried in heavy sea, all attest that
a body cannot move on the earth's sur
face in a straight line. 1t is not more
true with us that the Gulf Stream turns
to the Eastward, and the polar stream to
the Westward, and the equatorial cur
rents to the Northward, than that every
air current, in obedience to the same
law, should turn to the right Of the line
along from any cause it is called to move.
The meteorist has therefore only to as
certain by observation where the harom-
ter is lowest, to know at once the direc-
ton of the winds from the circumjacent
districts. far and near. or at least to test
the mathematical law by a grand exper-
ment.-Popuiar Scieace Monthly.
