Brough. to Light.

A few days since we published an
item referring to some Masonic pa
pers which were found among the eff
fects of one Morrilla lately convicted
of larceny in our County Court The
papers consisted OF some memoran-
dums tied up in q small package anda
demit from Masonic lodge in Scot
land to Henry MacDowell bearing
date of March 18th, 1868. The Ana
helm Gazette quotes our item and adds
the following bit of history to it:
The MacDowell referred to in the
foregoing item was employed on the
Los Angeles Rancho, in May, 1872.
AT his instance Morrilla was arrested
for the larceny of q lot of papers. The
papers, among which was q Masonic
demit, were found in Morrilla's cabin
by officers Davies and Byrd. After
the preliminary trial of Morrilla in
the Justices Court, MacDowell got
on protracted spree, during which
he visited Anaheim Landing, pur-
chased bottle of whisky, embarked
in light skiff belonging to Charley
Smith, rowed over the bar, and was
never heard of since. 1t was supposed
ut the time he had committe suicide
during fit of mental alteration, su-
perinduced by his protracted deb,,uch.

TWO PICTURES.

Somebody's heart is gayi
And somebody's heart is sadi
For we remember, far, far away,
Adoor that with Grape was clad
Sadness and gladness alike
Are dwelling side by side
Perhaps the death of an early one
And the crowning of bride.
Bright eyes are filled with mirth--
Pale faces bend in prayer, l.t
And hearts beside tho household hearth
Are crushed by stout despair.
All sorrow, and hope, and joy,
Are parted by thinncst walls,
But on the hearts ofthe thoughtloss ones
No shadow of SORROW fHllsl
No thoughts of the funeral train t.
Come to the festive throng;
No hope that the past will come again
TO the an:uishcd hearts belong. 1D
The future IS Il sunny sea,
To the lovers of joy ana mirth;
1.-THE past alone, 10 those who weep
For the sundered Ties of earth.
Somebody's heart is gay
And somebody's heart is snd
For we remember far, far away,
A door that with Grape was clad.
Sadness and g!annesS alike
Confrontus on every side
A wealth of smiles and q food of tears
With hope and SORROW allied! -.

Merced Theatre.

A full house assembled at Merced
Theatre last night to welcome the
Florence Kent Troupe back to the city.
The programme comprised "Robert
Emmett-an Irish Drama a stump
speech by Chas. Thornton, and a
Iaughable farce entitled "Turn Him
Out" The plays were up to the STAN
dard usually sustained by the talented
company and were fully appreciated
bv the audience. The promised fun
was brought out with full effect In the
last piece and it elected rounds OF
laughter and applause. Miss Florence
Kent made happy hits as the servant
girl, and Mr.. Balmour as the man VINO
put him out" did finely.
sChristmas Eve, or the Young
Wife's Curse,n will be brought
out to : night. Miss Kent will
assume the dual role of Lady And ry
and Emily Lonsdale, supported by
the full company. The performance
will be CONCLUDED by the Irish comedy
entitled "Paddy Miles Boy" The
bill is good one and will doubtless
drawa full house. Remember that
the company will be with us only a
few nights and an opportunity to hear
them now neglected may not recur
very speedily.

SUMMARY.

Beaudry's majority thus far over
Sabichi stands: First Ward, 2l0; Sec
ond Ward, ia; Third Ward, 80; max
ing a total majority Of 404 votes. The
final result may perhaps increase this
number to 500. oa ,as.ut
The fight for Marshal was very
close one between Carrillo and Harris,
and at the present writing it is impos-
sible to tell which will have major
ity, although the chances are greatly
in Carrillo's favor. He will probably
be declared elected by majority over
Harris of % to so. ,..,.''.;.;,'. .-r-;.;.,,..
For City Attorney. Hutton has a
popular majority in all three wards
and is as good as elected.
Mellus, for City Treasurer, has a
large majority in the First Ward,
which will be increased by the final
count, and he also leads the lists in
all the other wards, so that his election
may be considered assured.
For City Assessor, Morris will carry
the city by a sweeping majority. =
The Councilmen will be as follows:
First Ward-Campbell, Sotello, Null
lally and Carmona. Second Ward
Lichtenberger, Robinson, Teed and
Mascarel. Third Ward-Huber, Wolf
skill, Workman and Leahy.
Dir. KurtZ and Alfred James are
elected School Trustees by round ma
jorities. Eo
The whole result of the election
could not have been more complete
triumph of the people and more
thorough rebuke to the ring. 1t is the
first overthrow of clique which has
heretofore been the power behind the
throne in Los Angeles and which has
boasted that it was /" iron-clad''-be-
yond the reach of the people or the
municipal authorities. The legisla-
tive and chief executive offices
of the city are carried en-
tirely beyond their grasp. Al
lowing final results as we have
predicted them, the nominees OF the
Peoples Ticket will hold a balance of
power in the Council. iegaa
1t is glory enough for one day; we
will rest on our arms and congratu-
late ourselves as the people of Los An
geles, with the true interests of the
city at heart, that we have gained SO
complete victory.
LATER. -ou -r''H.al I
The final report which has reached
us subsequent to the writing of the
! above and after the conclusion of the
| count in the First and Second Wards,

obliged to be smart to use the Yankee

their politics, to catch the unwary or
applaud the honest they are obliged
to be keen.witted and intelligent, since
they must be able to reject the seeming

ofttimes in their dispatches they fortell

A Disrespectful Man.

The thing occurred in Edingburgh,
when Jeffrey, Brougham, s. ydneyy and
the rest of that brilliant constellation
of men Of genius were shedding So
great lustre upon "Auld Reekie" and
the world. There was, at the time a
literary pretender and bore in Edin-
burgh, whose everlasting subject of the
discussion was (" The North Pole" and
whose delight it was to infiict his theme
upon every patient listener. He met
Jeffrey in the street one day, and after
the usual Balutation, at once introduced
his favorite subject. "D--n the
North Pole ?" vociferated Jeffrey, and
extricatiug himself from the bore's
grasp, pursued the even tenor of his
way. The former. wincing under
Jeffrey's abrupt treatment, also went on
his way, when, enoountering the geod-
natured Sydney, he related to the latter
with much ohagrin and di gust) what
Jeffrey had said. ''Ahl'' says Sydney,
"I wouldn't mind it. We all know
Jeffrey. You'll hardly believe it, but,
in conversation / had with Jeffrey,
the other day he actually spoke disre.
spectfully Of the equator!"

8 A Substitute for Ice.

It is probable that many good house.
wives do not know that butter may be
kept firm and nice-looking by merely
inverting over it fower-pot covered
with damp cloths. In the same way o
pitcher enveloped in wet cloths
will keep its contents cool and grateful
to tho parohed throat this hot weather.
On q large scale the same plan may
be used in tho fields--as we have before
said, but it will bear saying again. The
contents of barrel enveloped in cloths
which are kept constantly wet, will be
SO pleasant as almost to induce tho To-
borcr in tho field to drink more than is
good for him.
The reason why water kept this way
is cool is, that the evaporation of the
outside dampness carries off the heat
from the inside-just as perspiration
carries Off the heat from the human
frame, and renders live man capable
OF withstanding heat which will cook
beefsteak.
