Last evening, a jolly disciple of Bac-
chus, who had been rollicking around
among the cheap groceries of Alameda
street, strolled into Commercial street
and there laid down. He was q
stranger. He evidently had not been
in a city of the size Of Los Angeles for
years, and therefore
"Wrapped himself into oblivion
And laid down in pleasant dreams,"
In the street. But some hoodlum boys
watching the progress of our inebriate
friend went for all he was worth; but
friend who had missed him, seeing
the danger, got policeman, who
kindly taking pity upon his unpro-
tected situation, kindly sent him upon
dray to the care of Mr.. Clancy. If
the boys had known how much money
he had upon his person, they would
have hurried their operations and en-
joyed trip to Santa Monica for a
month.

An innocent with his Dulcinea pre-
sented himself before Justice Gray
yesterday, and wanted to be married.
He had no license, but was willing to
dispense with that part of the pro-
ceeding, and would be willing even to
pay the Judge twenty dollars if he
would tie the knot. The facts in the
case were that the said innocent's
young lady was too young to allow the
issuance of the required license with
out her parents or guardians consent,
and so the nuptials were per force post
poned for several years. "And the
young man went away sorrowing."

commodation for limited number of

To all State and parish officers in the overlooked
districts Of Louisiana, and to the citizens gen.
orally:
The calamity VIII ich has SO unexpectedly over
taken our State when all indications pointed to a
speedy renewal Of agricultural and commercial
prosperity, calls for the highest exercise of your
judgment, forbearance and humanity.
The State government has done and is doing al
that its will allow to alleviate the suffer
ings Of those who have been reduced to desttutOn
by he disastrous crevasses in the levees of our
great rivers and by the floods consequent upon the
recent heavy rain storms.
acquisitions have been made by the State au.
thorities and by our Representatives in Congress
upon the general government for immediate aid,
and have reason to believe that the acquisitions
thus made will be promptly responded to.
The Mayor of New Orleans the president of the
Chamber of Commerce, and well chosen commit
tee of distinguished citizens are doing all that can
be done to send immediate assstauc to those mos
n need of it, and the appeals that have been made
to the great cities Of the North East and West will
Doubt ess, in due time, bring generous response
In tine meantime, let me enjoin upon you pa
thence, forethought and confident reliance upon
those who have undertaken to avert as far as DOS
sible, the evils which now thre aten you
Supplies of money, food and clothing will be
for W arded to you without one moments unneces-
sary delay. To send your distressed population to
this city, already oveIcrowded with UNEMPLOYED
people, will only embarrass the efforts that are
being made for your relief.

the proper distribution OF the supplies sent For.

maps there is the same mistake IN refer
ence to Drs. Clark and Schumacher. We
are not personally acquainted with the
last named gentleman, but learn he is
worthy of his position, and is moving
around rather lively after his aspersers.
As for DR.. J. S. Clark, we can avouch
that he is an educated gentleman, of re-
fined manners, and is held in high repute
as az medical authority by the
members of the Board of Health and
other competent authority. He is the
son of physician, and is himself grad
uate of Georgetown College in the Dis
trict of Columbia. The only reason we
know OF, why the Bulletin should be dis
pleased with him-that is the only one
OF a public or political character, is the
unfortunate error he committed when a
mere youth Of enhsting in the Union
army and serving the cause Of the stars
and stripes faithfully till the close of the
war. We do not expect the Bulletin to
forgive him for this youthful indiscretion,
but We honor the doctor for regarding it
as the most creditable choice he ever
made. We pass by the aspersious sought
to be cast upon his skill for several
weighty reasons.
l. They come from professionals,
who may by the merest chance be no bet
ter informed in this case than they are as
to the identity Of DR.. Ames.
2. They appear to be prompted by an
lnappeasable dislike against very worthy
gentleman, founded, perhaps, upon some
prejudice which misleads the mind and |
distorts the Judgment Of all who are
afflicted by it.
3. There are no tangible facts cited in |
support Of the charge that he is ignorant
of his professional duties. The case that
is alluded to is only partially stated, and
would not prove much if it were truly
related in its entirety, word for word.
1t is not our province to enlighten the
Bulletin in matter which it has intrusted
to its own reporters. We can only say
that its version of the biious-tever-small-
pox case is not quite fair. 1t was one in
which the official physician did not make
! personal diagnosis; but received it from
another NJ. D. 1t may have been right or
wrong, but as the patient was not before
he officer, he is not to blame for the mis-
axes of others. Possibly he or DR.. Ames,
" any other good physician may have
been led into the same error. For it is a ,
act known to all medical men that the
nc!pient symptoms of very many diseases
re so similar that the most experienced
withhold their opinion of t
that ails the patient until further
evelopment. We have never heard :.
f case Of malpractice alleged against J
ither DR.. Clark or Dr.. Schumacher I
y any competent medical authority, =
nd can not see why the services rendered 3
} his country by the one or the accept
nee of an Office, which was coveted by
'me one else, by the other, should so stir
p the ire of our usually amiable con-
mporary. Let our police board and our =,
olice surgeons alone, if you please, Mr.
ulletin, and when "Governor McEnery"
'mes into power we shall concede your G
ght to have your own way, and limit a,

GRAVE CHARGES AGAINST THE POLICE
SURGEONS,

|
|. It is not to be expected that the BuNe-
tin will cordially approve the acts of Re-
publican officials, OR omit an opportunity
to say that its editors could ave done much
better in any given case. tits barely pos
sible that the Police Board, for instance,
might have gained some credit with our
youAg and rather violently partisan neigh
Dor, by a timely consultation with the
management in the selection Of police sur
geons. For overlooking this important
requisite, however, and taking advice
from Others, it comes in for good scold-
ing, while two of the appointees are al
luded to in terms as uncomplimentary as
they are unjust. These appointments
evidently displease the organ of the dis
contented. And while the offending men,
bers Of the Police Board are spared for
the present, the appointees are criticised
in the following terms:
The three surgeons who are now official
ing are Drs. Ames, j. S. Clark and F. Schn-
macher. The first is an elderly man and is
recognized as physician of experience and
skill, while the other two are entirely unfit
for their positions, being unable to give a
correct diagnosis of the simplest case.
Clark recently gave policeman a certifi
cate for bilious fever, whereas the poor fell
low had severe case of smallpox, and
Schumacher has done things showing an
equal amount of ignorance and stupidity.
We premise what We may have to say in
H. ~
probably there was no thought to please
the bulletin when the above gentlemen
were appointed. No man can serve two
masters, nor can the police board please
the Republican party, with its various in
terests, and from which the board derives
its authority to make appointments, by
making selections from the opposition.
Placed thus between two opposing inter
ests, choice must be made, and very
naturally the friendly one carries the day.
So much for the principal reasons.
The Bulletin is a trifie wild in it's de- |
scription of the personnel of the anpoin
tees. DR.. c. P. Ames will, no doubt, pe
astonished to learn that he is an elderly |
man, seeing that, with all his acknow-
lodged ability and skill, the greatest OBJ
stacle he has had to contend with, since
ne first began to serve the public profess
slonally, has been the objection urged
against him by gray boards that he is too
young. The Doctor is certainly not
much, if any, above thirty years of age. |
Thus, we are left in the dark as to
whether the Bulletin approves the appoint
ment of Dr.. Ames or not since it eyi-
IDENTIFY does not know who be is. Per-
