A balky horse is understood to be an
animal which, when harnessed, refuses to
start. Various eXpedients many OF them
cruel, are resorted to in overcoming such
obstinacy, and it may, therefore, be well
enough to please note the California
method. 1t is to put a rope under the
horse's body, behind his fore legs, and to
let two men, one at each end, draw the
rope backward and forward, as if saving
at the legs 1t must not be done too rough
ly, but still with force sufficient. The ami

Everybody knows that Richard Grant
White is sad trifler about words-that
he has verbal hypercriticism bad. OF
course writer who carries refinement
to such a pitch as he is fair game for the
humorist Max Adeler, in his Hurry
Burly book, dissents from the infallible
Richards dictum respecting the substi-
tuition of being" for lis being" and
doing " for 4" is doing" He don't like
the innovation. He says; Suppose
you wished to express that our boy Aga
memnon is enduring chastisement, you
would say: Agamemnon is being
spanked, not 'Agamemnon is spanking
The difference may seem slight to you,
but it would be matter of considerable
Importance to Agamemnon; and if a
choice should be given him it is probable
that he would suddenly select the latter
form" Max has unquestionably caught
Mr.. White in a peculiarly tender place.

The hue and cry for and against the
enactment of compulsory education
law has resulted in the passage OF an
Act that is about the silliest thing

Unexpected Magnanimity.

popularity somewhat striking, de-
veloped itself in the progress of the
HOwDEN- Chronicle libel suit, which
terminated few days ago in San
Francisco in verdict of $4,000 in favor
of Mrs. HowDEN. The defendants, DE
YOUNG and brother, had intimated
before the commencement of the trial
that they should offer evidence reflect
ing on the private character of the
lady. She was informed of their in
tentiOn, and expressed q willingness
that every truthful statement that
could be urged against her should be
given to the jury. Her counsel had
no objection, as the opening of that
line of policy on one side would entitle
the other to the same latitude and
privileges. The well known probity
Il character and spotless reputation of
the DEYoUNGS, of course, rendered
In m Indifferent on the subject. But
and this is the remarkable part of the
tri3l--when they saw there would be
blows to take as we'll as give, they
caused their attorneys to announce in
open court that they should not attack
Mrs. aowDEN's character. This de-
MED the plaintiffs counsel an oppor-
tunity for making Quixotian tilt on

A Much Needed Improvement.

The HERALD entirely concurs in
the opinion of the Evening Express,
that Los Angeles sadly needs first
class theater or opera house. Those
we have met the requirements of the
day for which they were constructed,
but Los Angeles is not now village,
nor even small town. She has de-
parted from the ways of her juvenile
days, and properly assumes the pre-
tensions of a city. Already we num-
Der over $1,000 people, and if our ac-
cession of population continues i'll its
present ratio, few months hence will
enable us to speak of ourselves as a
city of 10000 inhabitants. No place Of
our population in the State but owns
betterand more commodious theater
building. ADJUSTMENTS are as es-
sential to health, happiness and moral
ity as sermons and Sunday schools, and
we cannot expect to attract first-class
dramatic and musical talent unless we
honor Thespis with first-class
temple. a good theater is as much a
credit to city as a beautiful church.
From financial standpoint, the
erection of u new building of this
class here is good investment now,
and it will prove still more profitable
before another twelve months have
rolled around. The subject is worthy
the consideration of our capitalists
who desire to place their money where
it will pay well, and at the same time
adorn the city.

1t will be seen that in Alpine

1t will be seen that in Alpine,
klamath and Mono counties the law
does not touch single district. In
Inyo, Del Norte, Sierra, Suffer and
Trinity it "compulses" but one district
each. San Francisco is counted but
one. OF the thirty-nine districts of
Los Angeles, twenty-seven are COM
pulsory, while Suffer county, with
thirty-six districts, has only one COM
pulsory. Siskiyou county has fifty
three districts, and but three of these
are compulsory. This does not look
much like a compulsory law, yet that
is what it is called and is all there is
of it.
