Attention is directed to the new ad-
vertisement of Goodall, Nelson G. Per-
kins' steamship line. 1t will be seen
that Santa Monica figures in the list
of landing places. H. Mcclellan will
furnish all information,
The Baptist Mass Missionary Con-
vention in San Francisco Is to be at
tended by representatives from Los
|. Angeles, San Diego, San Bernardino,
Los Nietos and other points in this
neighborhood.
The street is bad school for boys.
A father who had hoodlum son,
preached him lay sermon when he
read the account of the stabbing Of
Hawley. The boy lay for some time
after the old man finished.
The Independent State Ticket is
strange concern. Bidwell, the candi-
date for Governor, is an avowed tenn
perance man, and Booth O leading
whisky dealer, Is advocating his elec-
tion. They evidently understand each
other.
A restless boy of this city complain
ing to his father that he did not give
him rein enough, the considerate old
man went to the barn, took down the
reins and gave the ambitious youth
rein enough to satisfy his lOngings.
He will be in the house for few
nights.
A Granger is credited with the re-
mark that Bidwell displayed wretched
judgment in digging up his grape
vines, instead of grating them, in Or
der to change the stock, He thinks
that man displaying so little udg.
ment in his lifelong occupation is
unfit for Governor. We concur.
Hewitt, the hack driver, has been
arrested by Detective Harris on
charge of poisoning the horses of his
former partner, Askins, 1t will be re-
membered that this was fine team.
Riverside died on the 10th ult. and
Rubber boy on the l1th. 1t is seri-
Gus charge and we hope the arrest has
not been made on insufficient infor-
nation.
At a regular meeting of Los Ange-
les Lodge No. 35, I. O. o. F., held at

Yesterday afternoon, about l o'cock,
quite an excitement was produced at
the corner Of Commercial and Los An
geles streets, by the eccentricities of
Mr.. r. Slaney, boot and shoe dealer.
He had had difficulty with John
McFadden, a carpenter, on account of
a playful remark of the latter, who
was his friend, and, under the inspra-
tion of whisky, fired several shots from
revolver, which did no harm. He
was taken to the calaboose to cool off.
The police should make it their duty
to seek and disperse the crowds Of
hoodlums gathered on all our streets
at night. Their age ranges from ten
years to manhood. They should be
scattered. Those who have parents
should be sent home, and those with
out visible means of support should
be compelled to break rock for the
city. 1t is better to take little dose
of prevention than to have cure eff
fected at the mouth of revolver or
the end of rope.
The Southern District Agricultural
Society held a meeting in the parlors
of the Fashion Saloon on Tuesday. A
speed programme was presented and
the committee were authorized to per-

November, and to last six days, with
two races each day. There are several
thousand dollar purses to be given
and the day was fixed late to give
chance to up-country horses to arrive
and contest. After some other unim-

We beg to remind our readers that
the Tenth Industrial Exhibition of the
Mechanics Institute, will be held this
yearin San Francisco, and promises
to surpass anything of the kind given
on the coast. 1t is sight no one can
afford to miss, and independent of the
instructive gathering of the industries
and productions of California, there is
wonderful gathering Of people from
all parts of the world, who go there to
see what there is in California, per-
haps to see each other and listen to the
excellent music discoursed there
nightly. The exhibition will open
there on the 18th of August next, and
continue open one month. See adver-
tisement in to-days paper.
