The Royal Guest I'm Gotham.
King Kalakana arrived here from Wash
ington this afternoon. He was met at the
Jersey ity depot by the resident Hawaiin
Consul and an :Aldemanic committee.
The chairman of the committee welcomed
the King, and extended the Inequalities
and freedom of the city during his stay.
His majesty replied in brief speech, and
the party then took boat, and on their
arrival on this side OF the river, the hide
pendent Troop Of Cavalry was
drawn up in line to receive
the distinguished guest. Headed
by a detachment of mounted police and the
cavalry, the procession proceeded up Court
land street 10 Broadway, thence to Four
teenth street, and along Fifth avenue to the
hotel, where the King was received by
Mayor Vance and a number of prominent
city officials. The Mayor rendered the
Inequalities of the city TO the royal visitor.
The King made brief response, and his
majesty and suite retired to their rooms.

EVERY paper which appears in Paris on
Monday is dated Tuesday, and this usage
is based upon the utterly nonsenslcal no
ton that when the paper reaches the cOun-
try at a days distance from Paris it will,
if dated correctly, seem to be day old.
They seem 20 fancy that the country people
are so stupid as not to know that it must
be day old whatever date it bears, and
they seem also in caring for the small no
tions of the countrymen to utterly ignore
what may be thought in the case by the
people in Paris.

SOMEBODY disposed to be in time writes
to Figaro to knoWlwhether, in making New
Year visits, he must turn the corner of his
card and which corner. If the person he
calls upon is "nOt at home" Figaro
quotes the authorities to the effect that if
the card is left as formality and without
the intention to make visit, it must be
left fiat But if there is an intention to
make a visit and the person called upon is
not at home, the whole right end Of the
card must be turned down in large fold,
so that the fold will bend to the underside
OF the card.

PRESIDENT GRANT has a soft place
an his heart for the rich. Witness the
recent pardon of Benoni Howard, a
very rich party who was caught coun-
terfeiting revenue stamps. Some re-
gard the President as a hard money
man, but, Judging from the frequency
of his pardons to counterfeiters, we
rather suspect he must be in favor of
underground imitation.

Kingsbury, Jordan juicy, VIM. Hatfield
Henry Wood, Coney Young and Vincent
Petty, all colOred, were arrested at West
Point, Miss, on a charge of systematic rob-
berry of freight cars on the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad. All Of them are prominent col
Ored men. Petty was county treasurer and
juicy an alderman. Their mode of opera
tion was for one or two of the gang to force
an entrance into the cars while stopping at
West Point, and to shut themselves in the
car until the train had gotten under way,
then to throw off cotton, merchandise, ETC.,
which was gathered by the others and
taken to Juey's or Petty's store, where the
marks were destroyed and the goods or cot
ton sold. They have been operating for a
long time, and it is supposed their rob
berries amount to thousands of dollars. On
being arrested, KingsbuTy made a confess
sion which led to the arrest of the Others,
several of whom made full confessions
Petty was arrested as accessory, two bales
Of cotton being found in his store. He
gave bond in $500 to answer before the

improvements in Los Angeles.

There never has teen time in the
history of Los Angeles when the per-
manent improvements have been so
general as now. Finer buildings have
been erected than any now going up,
but in every part of the city are signs
of progress. New buildings - resi-
dences and business houses-are going
up in every part of the city. Repairs
and the enlargement of property are
marked features in the rapid advance
ment of our city. One only has to
turn his mind back one or two years to
note the steady progress We are max
ing in everything which makes a great
business city; especially if we compare
the old Spanish town Of 1.-THE City of
The Angels" as it stood six years
ago, with the present Los Angeles, We
can hardly realize that the two are the
same. The future of Los Angeles hav-
ing been secured and guaranteed, we
have only to wait few years to see
here the great metropolis Of Southern
California, acknowledged as such, as
much so as San Francisco is of the
central and northern portions of our

Mineral Wealth Of Southern Cali
fornia.

The ore taken from the quicksilver
mines near Santa Barbara yields
twenty per cent. of pure quicksilver.
The indications are that these mines
will equal in richness and extent the
famous New Almaden mine in Santa
Clara county. The mountains be-
tween this city and Santa Barbara are
rich in mineral. The discoveries al
ready made are but the first of many
that will follow. Other than quick
silver mines will no doubt be discov-
cred. There are lodges of gold and
silver-bearing rock in those noun
tains, and they will soon be found and
worked. The hills east of Los An
geles are full Of precious metal. Gold
is found in smallquantities in all the
gulches and flats, and experienced
miners are confident good diggings
will yet be found in the locality. Up
on the San Gabriel river there are
hundreds of acres of ground where
gold is found in considerable quanti-
ties. A great deal of mining has been
done in that vicinity, and number
of men are still employed there. The
new mines in Holcomb Valley are
yielding large wages, and new discov-
cries are made almost every day.
Some sixty miles east of Visalia rich
lodes have been recently struck and a
large number of miners are already
collected in that vicinity. All these
discoveries go to confirms the predic-
ton of the HERALD made sometime
ago, that this portion Of the State con-
tains vast amount of mineral wealth
which only awaits the coming of the
hardy miner. Southern California
has never been thoroughly prospected
for gold and silver.

Mistaken Philanthropy.

In one column the San Francisco
Post prints an appeal for aid for the
poor of England and in another an
account of u case of abject poverty
the almost starvation of woman and
her children in an obscure alley of
that city. Out on such philanthropy;
to Hades with such charity. San
Francisco is full of such cases as that
of this woman and her children. On
every street may be found instances of
want, restitution and poverty. These
are left to drag on to Potter's Field,
while the people are implored to give
aid to the poor of England. Bosh and
nonsense. Until We have cared for
our own poor, let England care for
hers. One-half Of the vast sums
taken annually from the people by the
royal family of England, would, if
properly expended, drive want from
the island. If anyone doubts this, let
them figure up the thousands and
thousands of pounds which so to make
up the pocket money of Queen VIC
ToRIA's children. This vast sum is
coined from the sweat of England's
subjects, and yet when England's sub
iects are short of bread there is no re-.
duction in the Royal family's perqui-
sites. While the English Parliament
il voting the Duke Of Edinburg ever
so many thousand pounds, the Post is
calling on Americans. to aid the poor
of England. Bah . Why does the
fool-killer neglect his duty on this
coast . If we had no objects Of charity
at home, we should say, let us help
the poor of England and Of the whole
world; but until our journals can pub.
fish no more such cases as that Of the
poor woman and her children, it is
mockery to send out daily appeals in
behalf of foreign sufferers. Gaunt
want and meaning starvation stalks
through Louisiana. Let us drive
these curses from our own land before
we go in search of them in other ma
tons. Let us be just at home before
we are generous abroad.
