FARMER BRILL'S NEW PLEASURE.

Farmer Brill had been hard working,
industrious man, and now in his later
years he was enjoying the fruit of his
well directed toll but not in the large
measure that might have been his if he
had known how to get the most from his
possessions. The farmer had worked
narrowly all his life, and now he was try
ing to enjoy himself narrowly, still
hoping to find pleasure in receiving in
stead of giving. He did feel less kindly
toward his neighbors than he should
have felt, for he had never been so kind
and helpful toward them as he should
have been, and the consequence was
that great deal of coldness and ill-will
lay between him and some of these
neighbors. The origin of this ill-will
could be traced, in most instances, to
some denial of a service or favor asked
in by-gone time. Farmer Brill was
stanchi believer in the doctrine of self
help; he asked no favors and gave none,
except grudgingly and with bad grace.
And yet, hidden away down in his heart
and covered over by selfishness and the
love of gain, was an element of kindness
that often stirred his nature and tried to
assert itself in action.
The farmer sat in his shady porch one
lovely autumn day, trying to enjoy him
self. His fields had been reaped and his
barns held the treasures of golden grain
which the generous earth had given him.
All around him bent fruit laden branches,
and the air was musical with bees gather
ing honey for his hives. But, somehow,
he was not happy. A neighbor rode
past and bowed to him coldly.
Miserable fellow l'' said the farmer
in his heart. 81 can't bear the sight of
him."
Another went by and the farmer turn
ed his head 80 that no sign of recognition
might pass between them. He knew
this man to be in trouble, and he never
cared to have anything to do with men
help or favors, and to be offended when
denied them.
Then the voice of a child called to him
from the road: "Can't have some ap-
pies, Mr.. Brill2"
"No, you can't % growled the farmer.
"Of with youl don't believe in beg
gars."
The last sentence was spoken to him
self, half in excuse and half in repentance
Tor the selfishness and ill-nature he had
betrayed.
Farmer Brill did not feel any more
comfortable after this. The frightened
look Of the child as he added q threaten
ing gesture to his hard speech remained
with him and he could not shut it from
his eyes, turn them which way he would
Nor did he see them less distinctly when
he shut his eyes and hung his chin upon
his breast. just how long he had re-
mained in this attitude the farmer could
not say, when a click from the latch on
the gate caused him to look up and he
saw little woman in plain attire ad-
vancing up the walk. She was a stranger
and yet there was something familiar
about her. The freedom and plainress

FIRE THIS MORNING.
Six Buildings and their
Contents Destroyed.
Supposed to be the Work Of
an lncendiary.

This morning at about 1:l5 O'Clock
the police sounded an alarm of fire,
which proved to be on the East side of
Main street, opposite the Court House,
in the One-story buildings between
Rapp's saloon and La Mariposa. In
few minutes they were all in flames,
and their contents destroyed. The
places burned are A. r. Johnston's
boot and shoe store, 8. Worms,
Matchmaker, Main Street Market,
d. w. Fitzpatrick's Acme Tailor shop.
little saloon and a fruit store. Con-
siderable delay was expended in get
ting on the water, but the engine
could not have saved the build
ings above enumerated. Luckily
the flames were closely confined be-
tween the brick walls of La
Mariposa and Rapp's saloon, or much
larger damage would have been done.
1t is supposed that the interior of the
building was burning for some time
before the alarm was sounded, as the
buildings were wrapped in flames in
an instant.

Valuable Information.

The high lands about the city on
both the East and West side of the
river are being sought for as sites for
homes. These elevated plateaus afford
fine views Of the valley, the mountains
and the sea-shore. The soil is excel
lent, and where it can be irrigated will
grow anything from violet to an
orange tree. The number of houses
that have sprung up in the Eastern
and Western parts of the city since the
first of January may be taken as evil
dence of the high estimation in which
the high lands are held by those seek
ing dwelling lots. In this connection
we desire to call attention to the prop
erty which Mr.. Beaudry will sell on
Wednesday next. The property con-
sists of 80 lots So by $50 feet in size,
located on the corner Of Fourth and
Lafayette streets. The greater portion
of these are so situated that from
houses built upon them may be seen
the greater portion of the city and the
broad expanse of valley reaching from
the mountain base to the sea- beach.
There are several hills which are the
natural sites for villa homes. The
water pipes are laid through the tract,
and those who visit the grounds to-day
will see jets throwing water twenty or
thirty feet above the surface. Mr..
Beaudry invites all seekers after beau
tiful home sites to visit and examine
this property between now and
Wednesday next, the day on which it
will be sold.

the pool stand, with the odds largely
in favor of Don. Odds were given as
high as As to l3, and the sale closed at
about three to one for the favorite.
The second go was made in good
shape, Vaughn pushing ahead, passing
the quarter-pole in 363 and the half
pole in 1:20, Don appearing to break
twice in lhe first half mile, but coming
up to the stand neck ahead. This
created great enthusiasm among the
hackers of the buckskin, but Welch
claimed the heat under the following
rule:
"Rule 30-Horse Breaking-When
any horse or horses break from their
gait in trotting or pacing, their riders
shall at once pull them to the gait in
which they were to go the race, and
any person failing to comply with this
requirement, if he come out ahead,
shall lose the heat, and the next best
horse shall win the heat; and whether
such breaking horses come out ahead
or not, all other horses shall be placed
ahead of him in that heat, and the
Judges shall have discretionary power
to distance the offending horse or
horses, and the rider or driver may be
punished by fine not to exceed 500,
or by suspension not exceeding one
year."
After considerable deliberation the
heat was given to Vaughn; time, 2:32a;
the friends of the latter horse winning
a number of side-bets, rashly offered
hy their opponents, that Vaughn would
not win heat.
The horses were led away, Vaughn
looking little lame and DDn's mouth
bleeding freely The pool stand was
crowded, and the sales averaged about
three to one on Don, but were rather
slow at that.
A number of false starts were made,
but at last the horses made q third
20 and kept steady to the work until
they reached the quarter-stand, when
Don broke. This gave little encour-
agement to Vaughn's friends, but
honors We're even when the latter
broke completely down and continued
it nearly all the way around. Dona-
than had it all his own way after the
first halt, his only desire being to dis
tance his opponent, which he did
handsomely, winning the race in 2:30,
amidst great enthusiasm.
CONCLUSION.
This ended the race, leaving the
buckskin a greater favorite than ever
before. The betters and the spectators
silently departed, the former jubilant
or out of sorts, and the latter disgusted
at the sudden termination of the spir-
tied race. The pools were paid last
night at the Fashion saloon and pre-
parations made for Mondays race.
The following is the programme for

Gratitude.

A very poor and aged man, busted
in planting and grating an apple
tree, was rudely interrupted with this
inquiry:
"Why do you plant trees, who cam
not hope to eat the fruit of them ?"
He raised himself up, and leaning
upon his cane replied:
"Some one planted trees for me be-
fore I was born, and / have eaten the
fruit. now plant for Others, that the
memorial of my gratitude may exist
when am dead and gone"
We are partaking of the fruit Of that
great tree of life-the Holy Scriptures
which prophets, evangelists and
apostles tended to its perfection.
What are we in gratitude doing to
preserve and transmit the fruit of that
tree?

Gods War ling a Precursor OF the Judgment.
A very skillful bowman went to the
mountains in search of game. All the
beasts of the forest fled at his ap-
proach. The lion alone challenged him
for combat. The bowman immedi-
ately let fly an arrow, and said to the
lion, II send thee my messenger, that
from him thou mayest learn what l
myself shall be when l assail thee"
The lyon thus wounded rushed away
in great fear, and on fox exhorting
him to be of good courage, and not to
run away at the first attack, replied,
"You counsel me in vain, for if he
sends so fearful messenger, how shall
1 abide the attack of the man HIM
self?"
If the warning admonitions of Gods
ministers fill the conscience with ter
ror, what must it be to face the Lord?
If one bolt of judgment bring a man
into cold sweat, what will it be to
stand before an angry God in the last
great day?-C III. Spurgeon.

The 0peratIc Troupe.

An immense crowd Of ladies and
children attended the operatic matinee
yesterday afternoon in Turner Hall.
Don Pasquale's wooing and matrimo-
NAL disgust convulsed them with
laughter, which was redoubled when
Norma boxed his ears and tweaked
his nose. The happy denoument, the
Old Don giving away his shrewish
wife and his "God bless you,' was
immense, and the auditors retired in
the best of humOr. 1t was a fitting
conclusion of the opera week, which
We earnestly desire to see continued,
SO as to give our people an opportunity
OF witnessing this distinguished
troupe i'm their best roles.

An important change is about to be made in
the Peoples Palace. The proprietors have
concluded to run it as a clio hing establish

goods on hand at cost. They offer IL yards of

same proportion. This IS no humbug. All
dry goods must be closed out In 30 days.

The orange groves of Los Angeles
are to many the great charm of our
county. 1t may seem odd to our peo-
pie who see oranges in such abund-
ance and the luxuriant orange tree in
it's evergreen foliage the year round,
but an orange grove is wonder to the
visitor. A visit to Wolfskilps grove,
therefore, is the greatest favor that
can be conferred on the Eastern visit
or. It's magnificent groves of oranges,
lemons and walnuts will impress him
permanently and his recOllections Of
Los Angeles will always be perfumed
with the odor of orange blossoms. The
hospitable proprietor of the Wolfskill
grounds, in opening his elegant
grove to visitors, is comforting a
lasting benefit on Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles immigration and
Land Cooperative Association, better
known as the Artesia Company, will
have another public sale of real estate
on Thursday and Friday of this week.
The property which they propose to
place on the market is In the South
eastern part of the city and divided
into lots fronting on First, Georgia,
Hewitt and Messer streets. The land
is level, fertile, has excellent irrigating
facilities, and is covered with thrifty
five-year-old orange trees. The terms
are One-third cash and the balance in
six and twelve months, at the usual
interest. This will furnish a fine
chance for farmers and laboring men
to get good homes near the city at
reasonable prices.
An agreeable surprise party was
given Miss Hortense Sacriste night
before last, by her young lady and
gentleman friends and acquaintances,
on the occasion of her departure for
the East, where she goes to finish her
education. Among those present
were the following ladies: Mrs. Chas.

Roberts, Clara Stone, and Belle Page.
