The independence Railroad.


Engineer CRAWFORD, who has been
out on preliminary survey of the
Los Angeles and Independence rail
road, returned to this city night be-
fore last. He travelled over the entire
distance from this city by way of San
Bernardino, Caon Pass and Borax
Lake, to Independence, in buggy,
and returned by way Of Soledad Pass.
He measured the route by way of
Cajon Pass with an odometor, and his
report which will be made in n few
days, will contain an approximate
profile of the country, together with
many details concerning the route.
The survey runs from Cajon Pass to a
valley in the bend of the Mohave,
which is heavily timbered, the timber
being generally cottonwood. This
valley is about fourteen miles in
length and is covered with a
dense growth of grass. Nearly
the whole valley is yet government
land. From the valley the line runs
in q northerly direction twenty miles
to Blacks Ranch thence to Little
Lake Canon, twenty miles, making
total distance of one hundred and fif-
teen miles from here. Water is found
near the surface at these points, and
also along the remainder of the route
to Independence. From the MOhave
to Owens Lake the line runs through
chain of valleys which have the APP
pearance of lake beds. The elevations
between the dry lakes are very slight.
The route is quite level. There are
no shifting sands and the country is
every way adapted for a railroad. The
entire distance from this city to indie
pendence is not over two hundred and
twenty-five miles. Mr.. CRAWFORD
thinks the Cajon Pass decidedly pref
cradle, both in the way of constructive
and commercial advantages to any
other suggested. His report will give
full details both as to the route and its
trade when the road is completed.

Los Angeles.

The large number of dwellings and
business houses in course of construc-
ton in this city is a subject of COM
ment among those who visit us. The
large brick buildings, some half doz-
en- of which are in course of construc-
ton, and the thirty or forty cottage
houses, some just commenced and 9th.
ers almost completed, give the city n
appearance of prosperity which WISH
tors from distance hardly expect to
see. The truth is, Los Angeles is a
thriving place. She is just starting
on her career of prosperity, and in a
short time the Los Angeles of few
years ago will have disappeared, and
the city of Los Angeles will have
taken its place. Real estate is advanc-
ing so rapidly that property doubles
itself in twelve-month. Men who
bought land within the city limit one
year ago, can now double their money
by selling out, and those who purchase
to-day will not sell for twice the
amount paid year hence. Our pros
perity is of steady healthy character
that will continue. The climate and
soil is of the kind that recommends
itself. People need but to come here
to find the best of both to be found
anywhere on the Pacific Coast. The
future of Los Angeles is pleasant to
look upon. She will grow and prosper
until she is the second city in the
State. Nor will she be long in attain
ing this enviable distinction. AT the
rate she is now adding to her popula-
ton, within the next two years she
will contain at least twenty-five thous-
and people.

LOCAL OPTION is bad for whisky,
but good for wine. Under the no.
license law, man cannot buy glass
of whisky, bat he can purchase five
gallon keg of wine. The popularity
of Local Option is really advantageous
to the w;ne-growing interests of Cali
fornia; and as the grape crop Of the
State promises to be an unusually
heavy one this year, Local Option
cannot be regarded as one of those ill
winds that blows no one good. The
home consumption of our own wine
will be heavier this year than ever be-
fore. Cheap light wines will become
popular, and when we have become
accustomed to the beverage, we shall
not care to change it for the whisky
of which the law has now in a great
measure deprived US.

THE Alta claims that it pays $500
more taxes than the Chronicle, Call,
Bulletin and Sacramento Union COM
bined. If this is true We may approx
innate the value of the Alta. Before
the Sun fight the Chronicle was worth
thirty thousand dollars; it is worth
half the sum now. The Call cost one
hundred thousand dollars at its last
sale. The Bulletin is worth nothing,
and the Sacramento Union is worth
one hundred thousand dollars. A

a Happy BIunder.

The following humorous story, in
which Mr.. Buckley, the first minister
Of the town of Colchester Conn.,, was
concerned, is from an ancient pubica-
ton. Vide Conn. Hist. COL, by Bark
erp 3)5
THE Rev. Mr.. Buckley, Of Colchest.
er, Conn, was famous IN his day as a
casuist, aud sage counselor. A church
in his neighbourhood had fallen into
unhappy divisions and contentious,
which they were unable to adj ust among
themselves. They deputed one of their
number to the venerable Buckley, for
his advice, with a request that he would
send it to them in writing The mat
ters were taken into serious considera-
ton, and the advice with much DELHI.
Grafton, committed to writing 1t so
happened that Mr.. Buckley had farm
in an extreme part Of the town, upon
which he intrusted a tenant; aud to
whom he must have been about trans
hitting letter at the same time; in
supcrscribing the two letters, the one
for the church was directed to the
tenant, and the one for the tenant to
the church.
"The church was convened to hear
the advice which was to settle all their
disputes The moderator read as fol
lows:
You vW see 10 The repair Of the
fences, that they be bull high and strong,
and you oW take special care Of the
old btdck bull
This mystical advice puzzled the
church at FIRST, but an interpreter among
the more discerning ones was found,
who said, Brethren, this is the very
advice we most need; the direction to
repair the fences is to admonish US to
take good heed In the admission and
government OF our members; VIC must
guard the Church by our NJ ister's laws,
and keep out strange cattle from the
fold. And we must in particular
manner set wathful guard over the
Devil, the old black bull, WHO has
done VA so much hurt of late. All per.
ceived the wisdom aud fitness of Mr.
Bulkley's advice, and resolved 70 be gov.
erned By it. The consequence was, all
the auimosities subsidized, and harmony
was restored TO the long afflicted church.
What the subject Of the letter sent TO
the tenant was, aud what good effect il
had on hlm, the story does DOT tell.

Activity and Energy.

There are some men, whose failure to
succeed in life is problem 10 others,
as we'll as the mselves. They are indus
trious. prudent, and economical; yet,
after long life of starving, old age
finds them still poor. They complain
of i'll luck. They say fate is always
against them. But the fact is, they
miscarry because they have mistaken,
mere activity for energy. Comic undiug
two things essentially different, they
have supposed that, if they were al
ways busy, they would be certain to be
advancing their fortunes. They have
forgotten that misdirectcd labor is but
waste of activity. The person who
would succeed in life is like a marksman
firing at target; if his shots miss the
mark, they are waste of powder; TO be
Of any service at all, they must tell in
the bulls eye or near. So in the great
game Of life, what a man does must be
made to count, or il had almost as well
been left undone. The idle warrior,
cut from a shingle, who fights the air
on the top of weathercock, instead of
being made to turn some machine COM
mensurate with his strength, is not
more worthless than the merely active
man. who, though busy from sunrise to
sunset, dissipatos his labors on trifes,
when he ought skillfulIy to concentrate
1t on some great end.

We copy the following suggestions
from the Mianssota Teacher, aud com.
mend them to both teachers and pupils:
SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF A
GOOD SCHOOL.
LIST. Thoroughness. Not what
things have been gone oper, but what
have been gone Through.
I'd. Exactness. Not what Gp-
proactes truth, but what Is truth.
3D.. Fidelity 10 ell things. Not
any compromise by which general good
intentions are accepted, but absolute,
unequivoeal, complete fidelity, which
enters into the minutest relations of
every pupil to school life.
4th. Intelligence in every exercise.
This 'fs not reached at single bouud,"
but toward it there should be constant
grow, r, aud the teacher should not be
cout 1t while his school Is falling short
of it.
9th. Ready compliance with every
regulation. This is the perfection Of
school discipline. Not compliance on
ly, but ready, ceiling. prompt compli.
ance; not with part of the school reg.
ulations, but with every one.
9th. Readiness aud selt-confldence
in the execution of whatever is given TO
be done. No false dfidence and I'm
due constraint, but modest yet firm and
willing activity, by reason of which the
pupil without ostentation goes forward
and docs what he is told to do.
7tb. Entire absence Of any effort or
desire to be excused from any duty or
recitation, or any general exercise. The
curse of asking to be excused must be
banished from the school.room.
Sth. Sprightliness IN every exer.
cise--snap. Whatever is to be done,
let it be done heartily, with the feeling
that wha, is worth doing is worth doing,
we'll
9th. A high tone of moral senti-
meut. Let the fountain be pure. The
teachers morality should be unques.
toned, then he may hope to have the
pupils whom he instructs rapidly COM
ing to be models of purity.
10th. Enthusiasm in the acquisi-
tiou, and the importation of knowledge.
There will be more aud more of the for
mer as there is manifest an increase of
the latter, aud without an enthusiastic
teacher it is vain to look for enthusi-
assn, to any considerable extent, among
pupils.
To young teachers We venture the
suggestion that they test the condition
of their schools BY bringing them TO the
light of an examination relative to the
above named characteristics. Aud we
would add that they should not be dis
outraged if they find that in many things
they fall short. Keep these tests con-
santly before you, a'd labor to bring
your school up to bear one after another
Of them, until you have reached, ap-
ptoxfmately, the highest ideal.
