lady to appear symmetrical, graceful,
beautiful, faultlessly rounded form,
when her dressmaker knows she is fiat
chested, sharp-shouldered, and as an
gular as an old style windmill? Is it
fraud for a young man to pretend to
be everything he is and nothing that
he is; to talk of work when he means
billiards; to prate of temperance with
his mouth full of caraway seed to kill
the smell of whisky; to affect lber-
ality which would not last day on
his own resources or industry; to play
a character which he knows is false,
and which he intends to throw off as
soon as he is married? fall these are
frauds under the Code the court might
render hundred divorces each day
for months to come, and not separate
a fraction of those having legal
grounds for divorce. Courtship is
conducted under false pretenses, and
in too many cases marriage is attained
through series of wilful misrepre-
sentations practiced by both sides.

Legal Matrimonial Fraud.

One of the amendments to the Codes
added at the last session of the Legis-
lature, provides for the unmarrying of
people who have been induced to the
compact through fraud by either party.
The gentlemen who drew up this law
should have accompanied it with a
clear statement of what is to be con-
sidered a matrimonial fraud. Is it a
fraud for young lady to smile and
look sweet when her own family know
her to be termagant and vixen? Is
1t fraud to excuse her late appearance
by saying that she was helping ''ma,"
in the kitchen, when, in truth, she
had cried herself to sleep over a sem
sation novel on the lounge in her
brothers bedroom up stairs? Is it
fraud for young lady to pretend to
be dead in love with her lover when
she knows it is only his money she
cares about? IL it a fraud for young

The " HeraId's" Work.

We do not often boast, but we GER
tainly have reason to be proud of the
work the HERALD is doing for this
valley and Southern California. The
proofs and the indications of real, SUBJ
stantial good are really more than we
had reason to expect at this early
stage of our work to this end. Last
Saturday several individuals and rep
resentatives of parties called at the
HERALD office who had come to
Southern California directly through
the HERALD and HERALD pamphlet.
They are good, substantial appearing
men-men of intelligence, who will
make their mark wherever they set
their stakes. They have come to stay
to plant themselves with their fam
lilies here, and they represent many
families which will follow them if
they render a good report. Two of
these men are from Salt Lake City,
Utah; three from Walla Walla, w.
IT,; two from the Puget Sound region,
and two from Oregon. We have not
expected to draw large immigration
from these sources, but the HERALD
proves to the people in these colder
climates, even of our Pacific coast,
that the advantages and conveniences
of our lovely climate and our splendid
soil are so much greater than those of
their former locations, that they have
been induced to break up, come to our
glorious country, and to throw their
lots in with us. We welcome them to
this genial, sunny land, and bespeak
for them success. Who can estimate
the still greater benefit the HERALD
may be through the agency of every
frienu of our city and county, by dis
seminating still more widely the
truths-the facts relative to this, the
loveliest of all climes and best of all
lands, east as we'll as west.

Mr.. Beecher and Mrs. Tliton.

The dispatches printed in another
column of this mornings HERALD are
of highly dramatic nature. They
are serio-comic three-character play
that will be read by more eyes than
have glanced at the Ten Command
ments during the past fortnight.
THEODORE TILToN has spoke his
little speech and all the world
stands agape. The statement he pub
fishes proves him remarkable man
remarkably good-natured and remark
bly, silly. When it was announced
that Mrs. TILToN had explained all
about the alleged intimacy between
herself and HENRY, by stating that
when THEODORE went off after VIC
ToRIA she told her grief to HENRY,
and HENRY advised her to leave The
oDoRE and that THEoDoREs ISLANDERS
about herself and HENRY were merely
an attempt on the part of THEODORE
to get even on HENRY, we said it was
nice little story and did credit to her
imaginative powers, but we re-
gretted and still regret that she did
not lay these facts before an anxious
world some three or four years ago.
We feel the same way in regard to
THEoDoRE'S statement. 1t is fascin-
ating-a thrilling - story, and does
HI IN, nraof ora1it 90 n rouaIiCf b,,t
why in the name of morality and de-
cency did he not tell all this stuff four
years ago. What he says now would
have overwhelmed BEECHER then
and those who take no sides in the
dirty contest will wonder why man
so seriously wronged and possessing
the proof of his wrongs, should so long
remain silent. People cannot but
wonder if man who could tell all
this four Years ago and did not, is
worthy of belief now that he does tell
it. What TILToN publishes as having
been stated, confessed or admitted by
his wife amounts to nothing unless
she comes forward and admits its cor
rectness. 1t is upon the written
evidence over the signatures of
BEECHER and Mrs. TILToN that TIL
TON must depend for the mainten-
ance of his allegations. He publishes
letters written by his wife and
BEECHER admitting their guilt. If
the authorship of these letters is once
established the case is closed and the
worlds verdict must be in accordance
with the facts, even though the veil is
torn from the Plymouth Church idol
and woman steps down from that
high place where hidden sin may
dwell, to that lowly plane where ex-
posed vice is condemned to range.
The excitement over TILToN's arraign-
ment will soon sink beneath the in
tense anxiety for BEECHER's defense.

Our Mineral Wealth.

Almost everybody adds testimony
tending to confirm the HERALD's Oft
repeated belief that Southern Califor-
MIA is rich-immensely rich-in unde-
veloped mineral wealth. The scarcity,
or rather the absence of water in
every gulch explains why the hills
and mountains of the southern coast
counties have not been more extern
sively prospected, and the fact that
but little prospecting has been done,
is the reason why but few mines have
been struck. There is great deal of
water in the mountains that could be
used for mining purposes, but it does
not run just where it is needed, and
therefore it has not heretofore been
used. The old prospetor has a horror
of ditch-digging and reservoir-build-
ing. If there is stream of water
running down gulch, he will dig for
gold in that gulch. If a creek has
plenty of water, he will examine it's
banks and bars for gold. But those
dry places, that can only be worked
at the expense of a long ditch, he
gives the go-by or only prospects with
the eye. A great deal of eye-pros-
pecting has been done in this part of
the State, and the old miners have
generally agreed that there was gold
everywhere, if they only had water to
wash it out. Lately men have looked
for water as we'll as gold. The hills
around the head waters of the Santa
Clara river are known to be rich in gold,
but for want of water they have been
only eye-prospected. Elizabeth Lake
will furnish all the water needed, and
five or six miles of ditch or pipe will
convey it to the mines. The mines on
the San Gabriel river are beginning
to attract attention, and in a short
time few thousand Cinnamon will
be at work in those placers. Pros
pectors in the hills near San Fernando
have recently found good prospects.
Within few miles of this city gold
bearing quartz lodes have recently
been discovered which prospect so
well that the locators have sent sew
eral sacks to San Francisco for assay.
The oil mines of Los Angeles county
are already sufficiently developed to
satisfy the most incredulous of their
great extent and richness. The quick
silver development in Santa Barbara
county is extraordinary. The cinni-
bar found near the surface is very
rich-equal to the groupings of the
now famous New Almaden. The
great gold-bearing ledge of Holcomb
Valley is prospecting up to the most
sanguine expectations of its owners,
while the placer mines in the vicinity
are yielding handsomely. New dis
coveries will continue to be made and
rich mines developed until the min
eral product Of Southern California
will equal that Of any other portion of
the State.
