Cheap Lands.

General LAUREN UPsoN returned
yesterday from Sacramento and pro-
ceeded last evening to the San Jacinto
property, few miles from Spadra,
but across the line in San Bernardino
county. The General is also inter-
ested in the San Jacinto tin mines, in
the same locality; but at present we
propose to speak somewhat of the
homestead association which has been
formed by gentlemen connected with
the mine, for the purpose of placing
the agricultural lands of the COM
pany within the reach of the farmer
and home-seeker of small means.
The association owns some $4,000
acres of mineral lands, but about
5000 acres of the tract are excellent
farming lands. 1t is easily and thor
oughly irrigated from the Santa Ana
river. The area is almost a level
valley, and the soil is exceedingly
fertile and will produce an abundant
crop of small grain, besides growing
all the semi-tropical fruits of Southern
California. The valley is to be di-
vided into farms ranging in size from
twenty TO one hundred and sixty
acres, as the purchaser may desire.
The line of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road passes within about twelve miles
OF the tract. The slope of the land is
about six feet from where the water
will be taken from the river to the
point where it will be again restored,
fall just about sufficient for irriga-
ting purposes, and not so much as to
wash in the rainy season.

The Demands Of the Future.

The selection of municipal officers
who shall administer the affairs of
Los Angeles after the. close of the
present term, is matter absorbing
considerable attention on the part of
our citizens. There is much work to
do, and those who assume the duty of
looking after our municipal interests
will undertake task, the faithful per-
formance of which, will require the
closest attention to business and the
exercise of no ordinary business tact.
The records and annals of the past
afford no precedent or example which
may serve as guide and director of
the new Councilmen and the new
Mayor. The interests of the city de-
mand a new departure in the munich
pal programme. The increase in our
population and the expansion of busi-
ness have been so great that the old
times rules and regulations will no
longer meet the demand. The policy
of avoiding Indebtedness in the past
has met the approval of the tax pay
ers, but the advantages to result from
close adherence to the same line of
policy in the future may not present
themselves so forcibly; and it is more
than doubtful if a longer exercise of
the economic principle will result in
the ultimate advancement of the
city's interests. The great question
which we must solve is how to more
carefully preserve and utilize our sup
ply of water. Without water we shall
soon change the aspect of the coun-
try into its original appearance. We
know what we may accomplish with
limited supply of water, and from
that knowledge we can imagine what
would result from an abundance of the
article carefully used. If to secure the
supply 1t is necessary to incur some
expense, it will be to the interest of
all that the work be carried into effect
as soon as possible. To plan and sue
cessfully carry out the water-saving
system, the Los Angeles Council
should be composed of men Of business
sagacity and enterprise, presided over
by Mayor whose ideas are progress
sive and who is capable of not only
comprehending the city's wants to-
day, but of looking forward and pre-
pairing for the emergencies of the fu-
ture

THE seeker after pleasant sights will
be richly repaid for his trouble by
stepping up on the hill by way of
Temple street. The jet or fountain
throwing water thirty feet high, from
the main of Mr.. BEAUDRY's water
works, is a cool and refreshing picture
which many of the croaker family
have been predicting for years never
would be seen in that locality 1t is
seen, and the water is flowing all over
the hill land. The experience of the
past few weeks has done much
to convince the people that the
irrigation and consequent cultivation
of the high lands is practical and
within the power and reach of those
of the most moderate means.

very much crowded and it is only by

How Mr.. and Mrs. Dickens were Separated.

Your readers may have heard of the
grand amateur performances given in
1859 at the Free Trade Hall, Manches-
ter, in aid of the Douglas Jerald fund.
Dickens, Collins, Shirley Brooks,
Mark Lemon and many other cele-
brated writers took part. The ladies'
! characters were interpreted by pro-
tessional actresses. Among them was
Miss Ellen Ternan. She was then q
fresh, pleasant-looking girl-not espe-
clally pretty, but possessing a good
figure and an extremely agreeable
manner. If ever the German poets
doctrine of elective affinities was
proved to be true, it was when Dick
ems and Miss Ternan met, 1t was evil
dent to nearly all of us that the two
were mutually infatuated. Dickens
was constantly at her side, though his
manner was constantly guarded. Mrs.
Dickens was with the party, but she
did not appear to notice the intimacy.
Very soon after these performances,
Miss Ternan, at Dickens wish left the
stage. His affection for her is said to
have been purely platonic, and have
never met any one who was disposed
to dispute this belief. But neverthe-
less, it was this intimacy which was
the final cause of the rupture between
Dickens and his wife. For many
years prior to 1859, their mutual rela-
tions had been anything but happy,
although l do not think that Mrs.
Dickens had previously had any we'll
grounded cause for jealousy. 4 short
time after the party returned from
Manchester, Mrs. Dickens went into
fashionable jewelers. at the West
End, where she was in the habit of
dealing, and was asked by one of the
firm, who knew her well, how she
liked her new bracelet. She said that
she did not understand him, as she
had not received any such article.
The gentleman then explained that it
was one Mr.. Dickens had ordered for
his wife, with likeness and some
hair in it. This, of course, opened
Mrs. Dickens eyes, and separation
speedily followed London Cores

Grass Valley has a man who fre-
quently attacks the small escort of any
young lady whom he chances to meet
after dark, enforcing his demand for
the couple to separate by presenting a
pistol, which he does not hesitate to
discharge when the mandate is not
obeyed. This strange individual first
lectures the young folks on their wrong
doing, and then impresses the lesson
upon them with his little pistol. The
officers have as yet failed to capture
the man, who is undoubtedly insane
to suppose much wickedness exists in
Grass Valley.

it is the thought of the music or not,

.posals, if they both cover the same
work. The question therefore, that
