An Insidious Attack.

An evening cotemporary which has
the reputation of being influenced by
some of the special franchise owners
of the city, attempts to make point
against Mr.. BEAUDRY through his op-
position to the enforcement of the
rigid measures proposed by the Health
Officer. There are but few people in
this city who will not read the report
of the Council proceedings and those
who do, need not he told that Mr..
BEAUDRY did not oppose a reasonable
degree of energy in the way of abating
the many nuisances that exist in the
city. His position was that we are
not in q condition to enforce the rigid
decipline that is necessity in large
cities. There have been no rules of
this nature obeyed in Los Angeles
heretofore, and Mr.. BEAUDRY believes
that the sudden enforcement of the ex.
treme measures proposed by the late
Health Officer would work inconve-
nience If not serious loss to many citi-
zens. He is, no doubt, as much in
favor of keeping the city cleansed as
any one, but he does not believe in
the passage of resolutions and ordi-
nances so extremely unreasonable in
their demands that people cannot
comply with them. The Health Of
ficer reports that he found three hun
dred and sixty single and separate
cases which he calls nuisances, and
they mostly on the premises of rich
people. This is not complimentary to
that class of our community,a and tends
to create an impression in the minds
of unprejudiced individuals that a
small affair say, for instance, an added
egg is sufficient to constitute q nui-
sance in the estimation of our very
rigid and somewhat exacting, not to
say slightly tyrannical Health Officer.

Edwin Booths Affairs.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Booth's The
ater will be sold under foreclosure No
vember 5th, and the friends of Booth
are making efforts to have the theater
remain in his hands. They state that
the unsecured creditors will extend all
the leniency he may require, and If
enough of money can be raised to sat

$780, the security for which is good,
the affairs OF Booth may be arranged.
Chicago and the Underwriters.
CHICAGO, Sept. 3O.-The proprietors
mission houses in this city expressed
their opinion yesterday to q reporter
concerning the recent action of the
New York Underwriters with refer
ence to insurance risks in Chicago.
The several opinions seemed to be that
much more noise and speculation has
been created over this matter than it
deserved. One firm stated that they
were giving the usual credit, and
would probably continue to do so, in
asmuch as they believed the people of
Chicago and the underwriters would
soon effect a compromise. This was
the opinion of nearly every merchant
with whom the reporter conversed on
the subject.
A Gilt-Edged Marriage.
WASHINGTON, October 1.-The mar

Aloysius' Roman Catholic Church this
morning at II o'clock. The marriage
was solemnized by the Most Reverend
J. B. Purcell, Archbishop of Clncin-
natl, personal friend of Mr.. Sherman.
The church, which seats nearly 1000,
was densely crowded, that number of
invitations having been issued.
Among the guests were President
Grant, members of his Cabinet, men,
bers of the Diplomatic Corps, distin-
guished army and navy officers, and
prominent civilians, nearly all accom-
panied by ladies.

more or less. My general reputation
amongst Americans felt required me to
do something to start my boy, for whose
character | live at present in great de-
gree, and | chased up the seat in Con-

The next movement of Morrissey was,
in 1861, to establish himself in the vii
lage of Saratoga; and here, he relates,
he determined, consistent with his pro-
fession, to begin a new local career,
direct and peaceable with man. He had
the friendship Of that large class Of physi-
cal beings who surround Vanderbilt in
Wall street He was encouraged in Sara
toga by James Marvin, who was his col
league afterwards in Congress. Ofcourse
he made money; for the game he plays
is set mainly for sporting men, who bet
high and suffer comparatively little by
loss. Actors, horsemen, Wall street
brokers, journalists, politicians and spec
ulators, are the frequenters of his house.
| have seen two Senators of the United
States, inhabitants of his place, invited
there as his guests. He is always master
of the situation, somewhat modified and
softened in manners, but his rights he
demands with as much of ferocity and
directness as in former days.
II am too old to fight now" he said,
"and could never train to condition. |
never would fight in the ring, having
been in Congress; for respect what the
people did for me. !"
Morrissey is the founder ofthe running
turf as we see it today-a business in
which, he says, there are from So, 600, 900
to 100000 invested in America, where
as in 1854 they could not start half a
dozen horses on the Saratoga course
the only course in the country. He de-
rived the most efficient and steadfast
support in this from John Tracey, (the
sen,in.law Of Reverdy Johnson who is
President OF the Saratoga Association.
Morrissey bought the whole property,
using the names of Vanderbilt and others
whose united wealth, he says, amounted
TO upwards Of 800 100000 With these
names, he passed, without a dissenting
voice, repeal of the law of the State of
New York making it an ofense to run
horse. Gov. Fenton signed the bill
The property cost Morrissey about
100000 to begin with, and he now owns
a few shares less than half, There his
family resides, apart from Saratoga. His
wife is a handsome woman, who attends
the balls, but has no social position; and
he never speaks to gentlemen accompa-
MED by ladies'. He has been much con-
cerned about his only son, who bears his
name, and whom he sought to persuade
to take an education and have profes'
sion. The young man is said to have no
fondness for study, and to be of his
fathers physical inclinations.

sticnIers for Etiquette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.l
These unappeasably exact folk VINO
must have their pound of social flesh,
and will not be put off with less than
their precise due, are, for the most part,
difficult people to keep in good humor.
They know nothing Of that easy going,
slip shod good nature which gives and
takes, and never keeps any debtor or
creditor account at all; which sends out
two Invitations to their neighbor's one,
or forgets to return his call within the
prescribed limits, and then meets him
with a beaming smile and a jocund man
ner, as if he were not sinner and a
breaker of the law. That kind of thing
is abhOrrent to them-as bad as cob
webs on the ceiling or material slippers
down at heel. What the sticklers for
etiquette like is everything to be done
with the incest precision-invitation for
invitation, and the complimentary card
left on the exact date on which it should
be left; call returned for call within
the term prescribed according to the
degree of intimacy; and the whole OF
the social life mapped out as you would
map out the plan of an estate, with so
many acres, rods and perches assigned
to A. and so many rods of forestgrowth
told off to B. Sometimes, however,
these sticklers for etiquette are kind
people in their way-people who will
lend but not borrow, give but not ask.
They are generous in bestowing, but not
generous to accept. They will load their
neghbors with benefits, but they will not
carry away so much as flower in free
gift. Their house is open to you, and you
might, if you would, use it in their ab-
sence, and make yourself at home with
a cup of afternoon tea and lounge on
the comfortable sofa; but they would die
of fatigue and inanition before they
would do the same by you; and you may
talk forever, but you cannot beat 1t into
their heads that there is no difference
between you, and what they allow from
you they may also commit for their own
parts. Not bit of it. To the end they
remain generous, hospitsble, free handed
in what they grant; and to the end, also,
precise, stiff sticklers for etiquette, and
tiresomely punctillious in what they ac-
cept. Sometimes they are just the con-
trary TO this, and, while they accept un-
conventional kindness frankly enough,
will not allow the smallest infraction Of
rhadamanthine rule of strictest etl-
ouette to themselves. They would hold
il as an objectionable liberty if their
dearest friend should enter their house
in their absence, though be or she had
come twenty miles and more to see
them. A servant who should offer a cup
of tea of her own accord, even to their
sister. would receive her dismissal be-
fore the night had come; and lifelong
intimacy has been broken for all time
for no greater ofense than that of pick
ing nubidden bit OF mignonnette out
of bed which was choked with its ewn
luxuriance. And some again are at
least just and logical, and neither give
nor take, but demand the pound Of flesh
with the most scrupulous exaetness, and
pay If just as methodically.
