p9- Rubber overshoes for horses are re-
cent invention, which promises to be boon to
the equine inhabitants of paved cities. The
shoe is made and lined in precisely similar
manner to the articles of apparel worn by the
human race, and, in fact, presents no points
of difference save in its shape and its manu-
facture of the best quality of india-rubber. 1t
is designed as substitute for the iron shoe,
as means of preventing the many maladies
to which horses feet are subject. Horses suf.
fering with cracked or contracted hoof, and
similar painful hurts, it is said, are quickly
cured by the substitution of the rubber cover.
ing for the unyielding metal SHOE The elas-
ticity of the former allows he hoof to remain
in its natural shape, while protected from
abrasion against pavements by the heavy rub
ber sole beneath. The device is easily re-

A TEST OF HUMAN NATURE.-One day
two men in Xenia were engaged in discuss
ion as to Beecher's guilt or innocence From
this our debaters branched off upon the sub.
iect of human nature in general, its tolbles,
weakness, and instability under crucial tests
and, growing earnest, one offered to bet that
there were not dozen men in that city who
would stand certain test which he specified.
The wager was accepted, twelve representa-
tive male citizens designated, and to each
dainty note, written in feminine hand,
couched in seductive but yet polished terms,
was sent as coming from lady. The mis-
sive stated that the writer had seen the gen.
tleman addressed, been impressed by his bear.
ing and appearance, and was most anxious,
&C., according to the usual style. The writer
would be glad to meet Mr.. Vanity at such
and such a point at such time. The notes
were duly sent, and the conspirators anxiously
awaited the result Of the affair. Much to the
chargrin of the gentleman who accepted the
wager and the triumph Of the other, every one
of the men to whom notes were sent, married
and single, old and young, appeared at the
proper point at the exact time named.

GcoD NArURE.-Be good natured if you
can, for there is no attraction so great, no
charm so admirable A face that is full of
the expression of amiability is always beauti-
full. 1t needs no paint and no powder. Co.'S
metics are superhuous for it. Rouge cannot
improve the cheeks, nor lily white mend its
complexion. Its loveiness lies beyond all
this 1t is not beauty that is but skin deep.
For when you gaze in the face of a noble
hearted man or woman, it is not the shape of
the features you really see, nor yet the tint of
the cheek, the hue of thelip, or the brilliance
of the eye.
You see the nameless something which ami
mates all these, and leaves for your instinct a
sense of grateful fascination you see an in
describable embodiment Of the heartfelt good
ness within, which wins your regard in spite
of external appearances, and deies all the
critical rules of the aesthetic. Cultivate good
nature, therefore. 1t is better than "apples
of gold set in pictures of silver" for gold will
take to itself wings and fly away, silver will
tarnish in time, and both, when abundant,

LITTLE VREAT MEN.-1rI IS IemarKaDIe
thing that some Of the greatest men in history
have been of small future stature. Certainly,
from all experience, height Of person has no
influence on the mental faculties. The chan.
ces seem to be that smallness of size, in fact,
at times, little lameness is advantageous
The reason for this is tolerably plain. Tall
and robust men are apt to devote themselves,
or at least to derive so much enjoyment from
boisterous pursuits, as to be rather Indifferent
to any speciality in mental culture. Men of
small stature, and perhaps weak health, are,
on the contrary, driven to mental occupation.
Studying hard in their several vocations, they
rise to distinction. A comforting reflection
this for young men who have the misfortune
to labor under personal infrmities

A Large Main Sewer Nee ded.

The city of Los Angeles will not al
ways confine herself to the level plain.
She will expand and grow. She will
ascend the slope and extend over the
high lands on either side of the river. 1t
is more than probable that men now
walking the streets will see the city
thus grow and remember this predic-
tion. Cities of large size must have
ample sewerage. If the Los Angeles
river was deep and rapid stream al
ways running large volume of water,
Los Angeles city would have a main
sewer ready furnished. Small sewers
beneath the surface of the streets run
ming to the river from the high lands,
would give the city a system of sewer
age of which there would never be
cause for complaint. But as the river
does not furnish us the much needed
main sewer, it will become the duty
of the citizens to build one sooner or
later. Owing to the level surface of

Directors desire it TO be under

A Foolish Attack.

We are not furnished with the mo-
tive which prompts the attack of the
Express OH the German American
Club Platform, and through it the
German born citizens. The platform
adopted by the association speaks for
itself and sets up no national claims of
any kind and none political that may
not be endorsed by those who are not in
favor OF Legislative temperance. The
German-American Club is not ma
tional organization, for the reason that
voter of any nationality may be-
come member of it and participate
at its meetings. The gentlemen who
compose the club are not asked if they
are Germans, or Irishmen, or Span
iards, nor is nationality made the test
of membership. The platform has
been published, and all who endorse
the principles laid down in that plat
form may become members OF the
club. There is neither truth nor
sense in the following paragraph, and
it reads like a premeditated insult to
every man speaking the German lam
guage in the United States:
The German is the least useful language
one could be possibly possessed of in active
life in this country, for the reason that Ger
mans readily acquire the English on their ar
rival here Practically, the Chinese tongue
would be Infinitely more valuable in The
commercial and racial relations now spring.
ing up on this side of the Continent.
1t is possible the Chinese language
might be more useful to the ErpreSs
management than the German, but
with the majority of people the Ger
man tongue is more desirable both in
social and business point of view.
We have never heard that the German
born citizens of Los Angeles were
forming German Political Club, and
we venture the statement that not a
German-kmerican can be found who
will say such club has been formed
oris proposed to be formed. We are
opposed to the formation of German
Political Clubs, Irish Political
Clubs, or exclusive American
Clubs, and we cannot and will not en-
dorse the proposition of the Express to
re-organize the Know-Nothing party.

it is said, eight men in the Walter
Defeat hosting works at the time of

twelve men. On their nearing the

Tending party and lasted four minutes,
killing VIM. p. Kellogg, Michael
Cain, Michael O'Reilly and John
Brown. w. ID. Shefiitt died this morn
ing. The place was surrounded, but
given wide berth. 1t was guarded
by armed men last night to prevent
the escape of those in the building.

tured at Silver City, and Dan Askew

A London house was mentioned as
