About Beecher.

NEW YORK, July 7th.-At meet
ing of the pew holders of Plymouth
Church this afternoon, resolution to
increase Beecher's salary the ensuing
year to 100000 was unanimously
adopted 1t is understood that the
increase is for this year only, to help
defray the expenses of the trial.
Beecher was before the Grand Jury
to-day, to testify in the Loeder-Price
case.
Another affidavit from Price is pub
lished in which he states that Loeder
instructed him what to say and Nor
ris paid him at different times small
sums of money, to spend in liquor,
cigars, etc. He declares that the affi-
davit signed by him in Morris office,
is false in every particular.
1t is asserted by the Brooklyn Argus
that Moulton will endeavor to procure
the indictment of Beecher by the
Grand Jury now in session for perjury
and will summon the following named
persons as witnesses: Mrs. Stanton,
Miss Anthony, Mrs. Bradshaw, Mrs.
Moulton, Theodore Tilton, Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard Bowen, Mrs. Tilton and
others. =

to twelve years old, which may be re-
formed by the cooperation of parents
and police. If parents will make their
homes pleasant for their children,
many little fellows that are now run
ming through the streets will gladly
remain at homo and become good boys.
But parents must remember that chill
dren require and must have recrea-
tion and amusement, and 1t Is the
parents duty to furnish this at home
Give them toys to play with, furnish
musical instruments of some kind,
and, as far as you can, enter into their
little childish games with them. Show
them that you love them and are in
terested in all they do. You will soon
find that your boy would rather be in
your company than anywhere else.
Then you can control him by word
or look much easier than you can
now control him by the rod. Many
parents imagine they have done their
duty in controlling their boys when
they fog them we'll for every little
offense and make them sit still in the
house, and make no noise when the
parents are In sight. Such q disci-
pline will make any boy hate his
home, and In nine cases out Of ten
such boys will run on the street, or to
their neighbor's house, to find the
amusement which their childish ma
lures demand; and such boys make the
very worst hoodlums we have. 1t is
strange that parents so soon forget
their own youthful days. If a father
would control his son we'll, let him,
when his boy needs control, stop and
ask himself, "What kind of treatment
would have had the best influence OH
me when was boy Of his age" The
answer will be: eff my father had
taken me on his knee and reasoned
kindly with me and showed me that
he loved me, I would have done any
thing he desired; but he whipped me
like q brute for every little offense
and my nature became brutal and
soured. I avoided his presence as
much as possible, fell into bad COM
pany and was guilty of many bad acts,
which I now regret" Parents, re-
member that your sons have the same
feelings now that you had when of
their age. We have much sympathy
for bad boys, for In nine cases out Of
ten, their badness Is caused by irrita-
BILE, ill-natured fathers and mothers,
who make home a hell for their chill
dren. Parents, keep your children at
home; but make home pleasant for
them,

Grassheppers.

A staff correspondent of the New
York Tribune, who recently made the
trip to Denver over the Kansas Pa
cific Railroad, writes thus: "The sto-
ries Of the infuriated grasshoppers,
which sound like Eastern folks, are
heard on every hand, and the fact
cannot be concealed that the farmers
In the infested district of Kansas are
more apprehensive than ever. The
pest is not SO severe along the line of
the railroad, but extends far into the
interior. Still, I saw enough grass
hoppers while passing through Kansas
to blunt my curiosity. They were not
80 thick as the sands of the desert, nor
30 impenetrable TO the visitor as the
Missouri River, but they were enough,
even in their youth, to obscure the
light of day as they frolicked about
the train. The stories in some of the
Eastern papers, that they have born
up the rail- Dad track in some portions
of Kansas and eaten o number of the
green freight-cars, are, am inclined
tn think, oyerdrawn,n Recent private
dispatches advise US that these melan-
cholly statements are bpt too true,

The Popular Ticket.

The success of the Democratic ticket
at the approaching election is gener-
ally conceded by all parties. No one
presumes to claim perfection for the
candidates, and it is possible that In
one or two instances more eligible men
might have been nominated; yet the
popular verdict is that taking the
ticket as q whole it is one Of the best
ever submitted to the people for their
endorsement. The head Of the Re-
publican ticket, TIMOTHY Guy
PHELPS, has long and Objectionable
record which can neither be white
washed nor covered up. He has been
engaged in many schemes for making
money at the expense of the people
and has as many sides and characters
as a kaleidoscope is capable Of produc-
ing figures. 1t is unnecessary to say
to Californians that nearly all Of these
sides and characters are the reverse of
popular and many of them Of ques-
tionable color. The remainder of the
ticket is weak and vulnerable, but II
it were as pure as an angel and as
strong as giant it could not win with
SO lame, SO impotent and so univer-
sally unpopular leader. The stand
ard-bearer of the Independent party is
curious combination Of ignorance,
pomposity and egotism. Mr.. BID
WELL is a well meaning but narrow
minded old gentleman who has fallen
into the habit of mistaking his inordi-
nate self-conceit for wisdom. Without
the culture and refinement of the HUI.
guenot, he apes the manners and GUS
toms of the Puritan. Protesting ex-
treme anti-liquor sentiments, he pro-
claims his principles by pulling up
his grape vines. While boasting him.
self a plain tiller Of the soil he practices
to ludicrous degree the aristocratic
manners of a three-tailed Bashaw. A
self-boasting anti-monopolist, he is
one of the largest land monopolists on
the Pacific Coast. The weak, vain old
man Is as full of contradictions and
idiosyncracies as the Republican plat
form of meaningless platitudes. He Is
a dead weight to his ticket and would
sink it though filled with better and
more competent men. Against such
nominations the Democratic ticket,
made up as it is of unobjectionable
material, will win victory with q
majority high up in the thousands.

That Interview.

The careful reader Of the Express
EDITORS interview with Senator JONES,
published few days ago, cannot avoid
the conclusion that though the result
Of joint effort and prepared with
great caution and concern, it is lame
and impotent production-the mouse
result of the mountains labor. We
pass the inellegant senatorial express
sion represented EMPOWERING blind"
to examine the intent and purpose of
the article. We are assured that he
never saw the pamphlet entitled "The
Coming City," until after it was print
ed. The authorship Of that grand
Eloquent lie-inpregnated production is
imputed to Tom FITCH, the most elo-
quent and most irresponsible biped on
the Pacific Coast, and though Tom is
In the Senators employ and wrote his
Munchausen volume about and for
the sole purpose of selling his employ
ers land, the Senator disclaims all
knowledge of what he wrote. This is
hardly business. II this is speci-
men Of the way in which the Senator
conducts, or rather permits Others to
conduct his affairs, we are not sur
prised that he realizes the necessity
of feeling his way In the business Of
railroad building, and we shall be
more than surprised is he does not
feel the necessity Of going out Of that
line Of speculation at an early day.
The fact that Tom FITCH has been Sc
lected to conduct part of the Sena-
tors business and that he so conducts
it that his employer knows nothing
about 1t, will add nothing to the SEN
ators reputation for shrewdness. The
interview embodies quiet admission
that the work Of railroad building will
proceed slowly in order to avoid the
incuring Of debts. What the Senator
knows about farming Is told with
rustic simplicity that cannot fail to
wreath with smiles the faces of our
hardy grangers. The Senator is a
pleasant talker, and we have no doubt
will make successful farmer. When
he turns loose on the San Vicente
Rancho, look out for deep plowing
and wonderful products. He promises
to teach our soil tillers things they
never dreamed OF. Give US another
interview Mr.. Express. They are re-
freshing to read.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-07-09

THERE has been great falling off
in the number of proposed purchasers
of Santa Monica lots since the dis
covery that the title to the property is
clouded and that those who purchase
the property will also purchase years
of litigation. 1t is rumored that a
number of parties are preparing to
locate on the two-and-a-half leagues
which have heretofore been claimed as
part of the San Vicente Ranch, and we
presume that the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company will also take steps
for securing the alternate sections of
the same tract, which as government
land rightfuiiy belongs to them. Yer
lily, the prospects of the coming city
are ensmalling.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-07-09

THE Express has placed US right In
putting and locating the coming city
on the San Vicente Rancho. If they
have found an accommodating Depu-
ty U. 8. Surveyor to measure them
out four leagues for one and one-half
leagues, the Government has an in
terest within these boundaries Of elev-
en- thousand one hundred and ten
acres. The settlers who are guaran-
teed homesteads on the public domain
have an interest there, and as we do
not propose to edit "redl estate cir
cular" in the interest of spectators,
it is our dnty to make these facts
known. It is not the first time the
HERALD performed this service to the
people.

IT Is well known in this city and
valley that the HERALD has always
advocated the building Of the Los An
geles and Independence Railroad; yet,
because We have exposed scheme
which has all the appearance of an
attempt to sell people town lots to
which no title can be given, the Er-
press, which is paid to advertise this
land speculation, adds to the length of
its ears by asserting that the HERALD
is opposed to the railroad. Go it, little

Borrowing Money.

Borrowing money upon the instalment plan
Is attended with these advantages: The loan
can be repaid In small monthly amounts
which include the interest and part of the
principal, so that by the expiration OF the term
Il can be all paid without any great inconven-
fence to the borrower; the rate of interest is
generally lower; the expenses of obtaining
the money are not so great as in ordinary
property then it often happens that the rents
will meet the monthly instalments and In
time pay Off the debt.

Quite n delegation from Orange at

tion had given faithful work to the
preparation of this celebrated drama,
and did themselves credit in its rem
dering, though laboring under many
unfavorable circumstances. The tai
ent employed was entirely local, un-
der the management of young San

MIR. FURLoNG's SCHOOL,
Last Wednesday Mr.. Furlong's
school closed with the expected picnic
in the Santiago Cafon. 1t proved q
success, as all of our picnics do. Music,
croquet, grace hoops, and games of all
kinds made the day pleasant. Speeches
were made by DR.. Lucky, Professor
Silliman and Will d. Gould. In the
course of his speech, DR.. Lucky pro-
posed the following sentiment: "fhe
pupils of the Orange school, the most
favored of any pupils in the county
because they are kept in the path of
duty by the best Squire, protected by
the finest Armor, and their progress

with very pleasant little dance in
the evening.

The new hotel is crowded with Wis
itors, and is growing more and more
into favor. If Major Larkin does not
make some additions to his house,
some one will be wide awake enough
to build another.
DRUGGIST WANTED.
We want druggist in Orange, for,
though we do not often get very sick
here, yet we sometimes have measles.
whooping cough, and such compara-
lively harmless maladies among the
children, and few drugs are neces-
sary sometimes; and then the stores
keep no tonics, except Hostetter's Bit
ters, and when the visiting cOnsump-
tive wants anything of that nature, he
has to 60 clear over to wicked Ana
helm after it.
LAGUNA LANDING.
Several Orange families have been
spending the Independence holidays at
Laguna Landing. This is a delightful
placeef resort, considered superior to
Santa Monica by many visitors of
both localities. 1t deserves further
notice in future. The bathing is fine,
the fishing aud hunting good. One
party of strangers captured five
deer in the neighborhood in q
two hours trip. The inevitable
croquet followed this party to the
camp. The party was ajolly one, and
all are satisfied that Laguna Landing
Is fine place to spend the Fourth of
July. A party standing on the cliff
were somewhat surprised at the arrival
of a large pelican, which allowed it
self to be caught by the wing by one
of the gentlemen. His wing was
promptly clipped, and string secured
him to a chapparal bush. 1t was sup
posed that he was the rival bird of lib.
erty, but all opportunity of ascertain
ing this was cut short by his untimely
death next morning. w.
