THAT handsome, affable, genial,
whole souled stranger to BLACK
STONE, JOHN LORD LOVE, would be
delighted to succeed himself to the
Attorney Generalship, and possibly
the Republican party may renomi-
nate him. But JOHN is hardly up to
the standard, and we can ill afford to
indulge in another four years guess
ing at the conundrum, "Why is the
Attorney-General like necessity" We
are acquiring considerable population
now from the Yankee land. Some of
them are SO shrewd they might guess
it, and then the laugh would be against
us. We hope JOHN won't run again.
He is too good a fellow to be sacri-
feed, and besides, after four years of
puzzling his hair over the knotty
questions submitted to the Attorney
General, he ought to have leave of
absence to 60 over to Humboldt Bay
and fish awhile. Fish is said to be a
food.

do not wish to deceive any one into
the belief that it is paradise to which
all may have ownership without
money and without price. ADAM was
the only man the world ever saw to
whom garden of paradise was fur
nished free of cost, and he did not
know enough to keep it. There are
many gardens of paradise here, but
they cost money and they are in the
hands of men who know their value.
There is room here for many more,
and we want men to come and make
them, but we wish them to distinctly
understand that though the reward is
certain the task is one of time and
labor.

The Facts to be Considered.

The Evening Express inclines to the
belief that the HERALD con-
cedes too much to the ma
ligners of Southern California,
when it admits that NoRDHoFF's S
descriptions are somewhat overdrawn
and his pictures too highly colored.
We think we can maintain our posi-
tion. The accounts of this country
which will most benefit both the
country and those who obtain their
information concerning it by these ac-
counts, should be of the practical,
everyday character that is under
stood and may be acted upon by all.
The information that will be most
beneficial to the man of small means
who proposes to seek his home in Los
Angeles valley is, how and what it
costs to grow an orange grove, and not
how an orange grove looks after it is
grown. NORDHoFF painted glowing
pictures of the grand old groves and
beautiful gardens which one sees all
around Los Angeles; but he did not
tell of the years and money spent in
creating these places of beauty and
profit. He wrote for the man of
wealth, who comes, sees, and pur-
chases what pleases him. He tells
the story of to-day, but omits the in
cidents-many of them long, weary
and the reverse of pleasant--that go
to make up the whole. He tells,
truly, that an orange grove will yield
the owner q profit Of fifteen hundred
dollars per acre per annum, but forgets
to say that it takes from ten to fifteen
years OF careful nurturing to
grow the grove, during which time
it is non-productive. These descrip-
tions of country and its products are
deceptive when read by the light of
practical fact. 1t is we'll that the in
tending immigrant should know that
these beautiful orange groves cannot
be had for the asking; that they cost
from two thousand to five thousand
dollars per acre; that bare land adapted
to the orange, lemon and lime culture
cannot be purchased in the vicinity OF
Los Angeles for less than from one
hundred to five hundred dollars per
acre; that no one can plant out and
cultivate up to a remunerative period
an orange grove without money OF
industry or both; and that though this
is country where the return is large
in proportion to the means expended,
yet it is not country in which one
need expect something for nothing.
We maintain that California, and es-
pecially Southern California, is one OF
the finest countries in the world fol
almost all classes of soil tillers, but we

consider the late visit of the Indians
to Washington failure in regard to
the Black Hills. The Department had
no thought of effecting a treaty with
them here, knowing they had no pow

the matter with them and prepare
them for some arrangement after the
return of the expedition which had
been sent out to determine whether
there was gold there or not. AS to

The following is said to be very
superior method for staining any kind
of wood in imitation of walnut, while
it is also cheap and simple and cheap
in its manipulation. The wood, pre-
viously thoroughly dried and warmed
is coated once or twice with stain
composed Of one part, by weight of
extract of walnut peel dissolved in
six parts of soft water by heating it to
boiling and stirring. The wood thus
treated, when half dry, is brushed
with solution of one part, by weight,
of bichromate of potash in five parts
of boiling water, and is then allowed
to dry thoroughly, and is to be rubbed
and polished as usual. Red beech and
alder, under this treatment, assume a
deceptive resemblance to American
walnut. The color is fixed in the
wood to depth of one or two lines.
