The Brooklyn Heights Tract.

Yesterday we visited Brooklyn
Heights, the locality that is just now
attracting so much attention for build
ing sites. An easy drive brought us
to the tract. On the way we passed
elegant residences, good schools, fine
gardens and beautiful orange groves.
The route to the Brooklyn Tract lies
through the most picturesque part of
Los Angeles. Trees, gardens, groves
and comfortable residences ornament
the streets leading to this popular
place, the route being in reality a COM
plete panorama of green, more beauti-
full than any scene of painter or poet.
New Workers become ecstatic when
Brooklyn Heights are mentioned, but,
in natural beauty, our Brooklyn
Heights far exceed their namesake Of
New York. On reaching the summit
magnificent landscape is spread be-
fore us. In one direction pleasing pam
Drama of orange groves, stretching to
the low hills facing the sea; in anoth-
er the San Fernando range, cloud
capped, a thin blush mist giving an
additional charm to the scene; the San
Gabril mountains completed the pic
ture, while long train of teams 60
ing to the Mission gave animation to
the prospect. Looking down OH the
immediate front lay the city of Los
Angeles, every spire, public building
and residence standing out in bold re-
lief. Standing as we did it needed no
prophetic eye to anticipate the time
when Brooklyn Heights would be
crowded with hotels and palatial resi-
dences, and be in the center of a
Southern metropolis of people; when
manufactures and railways shall have
made our city the great South West
ern city of the United States; when
our commerce and trade will be count
ed by millions instead Of thousands.
10 the masses we say this tract Is now
open for purchase at very low figures.
The poor man has the same chance as
the rich, one-third only Of the pur-
chase money being required In cash,
and a long time being given on the
projected to the grounds; school
house is already built and Ia fine hotel
is In prospect. Every lot overlooks
the city and commands view of the
coast and surrounding mountain
ranges, making it very desirable
property. For further particulars In

AREMARKABLE CURE OF DEAFNESS.
sworn and Subscribed TO Before A.W.
Potts, ESD, County Clerk.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, as
County of Los Angeles, 3D.
On the first day of October person.
ally appeared Joseph Wild, the under
signed, before me, A.W. Potts, County
Clerk, who, being sworn, deposeth and
says:
have been deaf in my left ear for
nearly two years; could not hear To-
comotive whistle when close to it; L
think my deafness was caused by ex-
posure in sleeping out at night while
teaming; have frequently heard of DR..
Aborn's great success in the treat
meDt of such cases; had been endea-
voring to make arrangements to visit
him ut San Francisco for the purpose
of placing myself under his treatment;
finally made arrangements to visit
San Francisco the last of October, but
fortunately for me the Doctor arrived
in Los Angeles about one week ago; /
called on the Doctor at the Backman
house yesterday and submitted myself
to his treatment, and to my great joy
and surprise he has, within twenty
four hours, restored my hearing,
so that can now hear distinctly con-
versation across large room; | can
hear en- ordinary watch tick quite a
distance faom the ear; my hearing
has been so suddenly restored that the
noise OF wagons and the hustle on the
streets seem to me unpleasant at first,
as would naturally be expected after
having been totally deaf so long; DIR.
Aborn's operations caused no pain or
unpleasant feeling whatever; Major
Hancock, Andrew Joughin, black
smith on Also street, Mr.. Smith, con-
tractor on the l.. A. & I. railroad and
the overseer Of that road, and a hum
dred or more other persons in Los An
geles know how sadly was afflicted
with deafness; hoping that the publi-
cation of the facts concerning my case
may be the means of informing others
where they can be cured, is my sole
object in giving this testimonial; 1
make my home in Los Angeles, and
am engaged now In teaming across
the river; my business is teaming; 1
am now grading across the river.

The man who undertakes to live two
lives will find that he is living but one
and that one is life of deception.
Causes will be true to their effects.
That which you sow you will reap. If
you live to the flesh, to the passions.
to the corrupt inclinations, you may
depend upon it that the fruit, which
is in store for you, will be that which
belongs to these things. There can be
no doubt as to what your harvest will
be. If you think, that after your days
business is done, you can shut the
blinds and carry on your orgies in se-
cret, with your evil companions; If
you think you can serve the de vii by
night and then go forth and look like
sweet and virtuous young man that
goes in the best society, and does not
drink nor gamble, nor commit any
vice, then the devil has his halter
about your neck, and he leads YOU, the
stupidest fool among the crowd. You
deceive nobody but yourself. There is
an expression In the eye that tells sto.
rles. Passions stain clear through.
A man might as well expect to take
nitrate of silver,-whose nature is to
turn him to lead color, and have the
doctor not know it, as to expect that
he can form evil habits and pursue
mischievOus courses and not have 1t
known, 1t does not need sheriff to
search out and reveal the kind of life
that you are living. Every law of
God in nature Is an officer after you.
1t does not require court, judge or ju-
ry to try and condemn you. All ma
ture is court room, and every prln-
ciple thereof is part of that court,
which tries and condemns you. Do
not think that there can be such a
monstrous misadjustment of affairs as
that you can do the work of the devil,
and have the remuneration of angel =

We are In receipt of another large
apple raised on the high land without
irrigation. Yesterday Mr.. R. K. Nc
Creary brought to the HERALD office
an apple weighing one and quart er
pounds picked from a tree but three
years old. McCreary's place is on the
sandy soil near Judge Thompson's
place and being outside of the city
limits he is deprived of irrigating fa-
cilities. The apple seems to be Of the
greening genus and is splendid spec
imam.
The Express of last evening has the
following: DR.. Aborn's remarkable
cure of deafness, noted by affidavit of
Joseph Wild elsewhere, deserves the
attention of those who are afflicted
with a disability of this kind. Moth
ing renders man so helpless as a de-
feet of hearing, and many persons
travel thousands of miles and 60 to an
outlay of thousands of dollars, with
the hope of obtaining relief. An in
terview with DIR. Aborn should be
sought by such persons

A Cistern.

l remember once hearing story oi
of prisoner who was told that the
cistern which supplied him with wa
ter.would never be filled when he had
once emptied it, and that he would
then be left to perish from thirst. I'M
agine how careful he would be not to
waste drop! He would know that
every cupful he drank left less hind,
and he would not be able to tell how
soon the supply might fail. Like that
prisoners store of water is our store OF
time We daily use from it, and ev-
cry day less remains.

The brave only know how to for
give; it is the most refined and gener-
Gus pitch of virtue human nature can
arrive at. Cowards have done good
and kind actions-cOwards have fought
nay, sometimes even conquered; buta
coward never forgave. 1t is not in his
nature; the power of doing it flows on
ly from strength and greatness of soul,
conscious of its own force and security
and above the little temptations of re-
senting every fruitless attempt to in
terrupt its happiness.

Tic nomination Of Col. Roderick

lion. for Representative from this
District, opens the Congressional
canvass. Col. Seal is q good can
yasser. and VIC do mot Doubt that
when le takes the slumy ho will
make tho fnr nv fro Mr.. Lynch.
SIv as he tries to keep II there arc
few mon in the District more as.ails
able than John X. Lynch. In this
county, whore ho is beat known,
and where his personal influence ia
overpowering, the Republican party
have come as near drawing tho
color line as they dare, and that de-
Iectahle brother Of his. Bill Lynch,
has been taken on his shoulders
in the vain attempt to carry him
into the State Senate. Bill lvnch,
il il wei known, il the most objec-
rionable man in the county to both
white and c0lnrcd voters. but il will
not do 10 have either Of the Lv1ches
left ont in the cold, so the party has
been dragonred into making the
attempt to cary him through. In
the last county canvass it is we'll
known that that sweet-scented
shrnb, o. G. French. was nominated
and elected through the influence
Of John Lynch. at the instigation
Of his tntor, Ames, against the
wishes of the very large majority of
he colored people upon whom he
had preyed for years. In thi.
county. az his real character and
designs are dcv' loped, Lynch has
lost ground rapidly, ard it is even
doubtful if to-day he could carry
a majority OF votes in an untram-
meIed election. The salient points
in the gentleman's record will doubt
less be ventilated bv the logical
eIoonence Of Col. Seal, and we feel
pretty sure that the little game
which is notoriouslv said TO have
been concocted between him and
Ames. to put the latter into the
U. 5. Senate and make Of Lynch the
next Governor Of this State will be
broken up. The interests of the
State. and particularly of this Dis
trict of the State, demand that a
man of character and one who will
command the respect of the nation
should take the place Of mere place
hunter, and one, too, who has thus
far shown himself a mere creature
of Ames, himself the most detesta.
BILE and contemplate of all those
who have for years heen the curse
