They give out easy words in their
San Francisco spe'ling-matches. A
stylish young lady there went down
on replete the other day, giving it the
excruciating rendition, "repleat." Let
them try such words as onomatop1ia,
which our "hinfant prodigy" walks
away with. @
Our prince of the nurserymen, Mr..
George B. Davis, having disposed of
the large supply of nursery stock
which he recently brought to the city,
will go to San Francisco by the Seha-
tor, which sails OH Tuesday next, to

By reference to our educational col

of scholars enrolled in our public
schools during last month was 9l4-
the largest ever registered in Los ALI

new admissions to the departments of
the Misses Russell, Scott, Hamilton,

by noting the number of pupils in
those departments.

Block. The old established furniture
house of Mr.. Lehman on Spring street
will be continued in the same location
and the newly acquired business, re-
enforced by full stock of furniture,
will be conducted by Mr.. Martin Leh-
man. We congratulate Mr.. Lehman
on the fortunate purchase and on the
increase of business which warrants
this enlargement.
Now that Artesia has been disposed
of, the next thing in order will be the
sale of the Fairview tract, which will

desirable suburban property to be had
will be offered and at such terms as
will bring it within the means of the
poorest labOring man. 1t will be re-
membered that the lots are within ten
minutes walk of the Spring and Sixth

At a meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Main Street and Agricul-
tural Park Railroad Company last ev-
ening. the Superintendent and Engi-
neer were ordered to commence grad
ing the road bed on Monday morning
next and push the road to Pico street
as rapidly as possible. AS the mater
ial has been here for some weeks,
nothing will interfere with the early
running of the cars over the track.
The road would have been in opera
ton at the present time, but for a sim
gular and well nigh incom mprehensible
neglect of the Council to furnish the
street grade, as begged for by the COM
pany. We are assured upon the best
authority that the road will not stop
at Pico street, unless distractions are
thrown in the way by those in au-
thOrity, but will be speedily completed
to the Fair Grounds.
