Keeping Tavern.

An equestrian, travelling over an old turnpike drew rein at mid day before an extensive but dila- pidated public house, heralded by lofty sign bearing, in faded iet- ters, the inscription, "Entertain- ment for Man and Beast" To a tow-headed urchin, swinging up- on the front gate, he addressed himself.
 Boy, will you take my horse and give him half a peck of oats?'
 Don't keep no grain."
 "No grain Well, then, give my horse some good hay"
 Don't keep no hay nuthur."
 'NO grain nor hay! On what do you feed your horsesw
 Don't keep no horses"
 "I would like some dinner. Can 1 have meat and potatoes without delay?" "Don't keep no meat barrel, since we don't keep no hog"
 "Then I will take a lunch of bread and milk, or bread and but ter"
 Don't keep no butter nor milk, since we don't keep no cow"
 "Pray my lad, what do you keep?"
 "Keep tarern."

Presence of Mind in a Hog.

A very curious incident occur red recently in Terra Haute, by which a hog took a free ride across the river bridge. It was about half-past three o'clock that a freight train was approaching the city, when a large hog weigh about 200 pounds was seen on the track at the west end of the bridge. Itdid not get out of the way soon enough ,and the pilotOf the engine struck. Instead of knocking it of, however, the sloping front of the pilot caught his porkship and rolled him right up upon the little platform in front of the boiler. Then he rose and sat looking around, and by this time out over the bare ties, where if he had jumped off he would have gone down to the water. He evident ly saw this, for he remained on the front of the engine and rode all the way across the bridge. When the engine arrived on this side the hog sprang nimbly of upon the platform near MT. Twaddell's watch house, and af- ter grunting it's satisfaction at its narrow escape it moved off. It was slightly hurt in the side and one leg, but will recover.

A bad little boy in Portland lit pack of shooting crackers and threw them into the street to see them "go off" One of Ike Bat mans mules came along and swallowed them before they "went off" The mule walked about fifteen feet and stopped. Things wasn't acting right inside. He began to taste the smoke of fire-crackers. He laid his left ear around against his ribs and heard something. It was them crack CTS having fun. The mule pick ed out about three and one.qnar- ter miles of straight road and started. A negro met him about mile the other side of the aims house, going south, white with precipitation, with streams of smoke shooting out of his nostrils, mouth and ears, while his tail stuck straight up, and 8 stream of blue and green smoke about ten feet long followed in the rear.
 Ike found his mule yesterday morning sticking halfway thro' farmhouse near Paddy's Run, still smoking. The man had got hie feroilv ont and mt lem ID in- 10 c lot Of trees. Ike hauled his mule home, when he got cool enough, on a dray. The man is going to move his house fuTtne er back of the road, and his wife and oldest daughter will be baptised when the water gets warm. -CO1t- i T5er- Journal.

Don't Crowed.

The following stanza, which con- tains g. good thought, is from a little poem referred to the pen of Charles Dickens: Don't crowd; the world is large enough
 For you as we'll as me;
 The doors of all are open wide
 The realm of thought is free. ln all earth's places you are right
 To chase the best you can-- Provided that you do not try
 To crowd some other man.

KATIE LEE and WILLIE GRAY.


 Red lips shutting over pearls, Bare feet white and wet with dew. Two eyes black aud two eyes blue; Little boy and girl were they, Katie Lee and Willie Gray.

Pretty Katie" Willie said, And there came a dash of red Through the brOwnness of his cheek, Boys are strong and girls are weak; And I'll carry, so 1 will, Katies basket up the hill." hhbIo dueWCHCu WlLi u IduRuS 'You shall carry only half" Then said, tossing back her curls, "Boys are weak as we'll as girls" Do you think that Katie guessed Half the wisdom she expressed? Men are only boys grown tall; Hearts don't change much after all. And when, long years from that day, / Katie Lee and Willie Gray Stock again beside the brook, Bending like shepherds crook, Is it strsnge that Willie sad, While again a a dash of red Crowned the brownness of his cheek, I am strong and you are weak; Life is but slippery steep, Hung with shadows cold and deep.

Max Adler on the Ostrich.

l once knew snowman who traded an ostrich for mule, to g man named Leech. Leech read somewhere that Ostriches are very valuable on account of their feath. CTS and he intended to try the superintendent eultivating them, so he secured this to begin with. He turned it loose into the yard and that night it ate all the sur face of the walks, and it was busy breakfasting on the garden hoe when Leech came down to look after it. He fed it heartily, SC as 1O keep down its appetite, but that morning it swallowed tour hOTse-shoes that were lying in Q cart, and it disposed of six feet Oi trace chain belonging to the sub soil blow. LeecR was somewhat alarmed, but he gave the bird aa much supper as lt would eat, anli .e.v 5atisned that it's hunger would not rage during the night. Next morning, however, he was sur. prised to find that the ostrich had
 eaten a hole through the wall of the smoke house, and had chew.
 ed of. all the dOOr-knobs in that part of the dwelling. When
 Leech came out, the bird had
 swallowed the pump handle, and was making an earnest but inef- fectuai effort to take in the pump
 Leech disuaded it, however, and led 1t solemnly away. That day it ate nothing of a revolutionary character but a set of Mrs. Leech's old hoops, and when Leech ascer. taiued this, he collected all the second >hand hoop skirts the neighbors had to spare and fed them to the ostrich. It cleaned up the pile in less than an hour, and then it ate six of Fanny Leech's croquet balls which were lying in the grass, and swallowed the baby,s toy drum. That after noon it protruded its head through the kitchen window while the girl was washing the dinner dish. es, and suddenly swallowed three tumblers, a gravy dish, and 8 broken butter-crock. When Leech came home that night 4nd heard the news, he decided to shoot the bird the first thing in the morn. ing. He loaded the gun for the purpose and put it in the shed outside the kitchen door. Dur ing the night an explosion vas heard and wheN Leech descend ed with a lantern to ascertain the cause, he perceived the ostrich lying dead in the shed. It had swallowed the gun, muzzie foIe- most, and had fired the weapon while gnawing at the trigger. MT.
 Leecn nas given up the idea ot ~culavaang the ostrich. The bird IS too eminently digestive for

The Cinnabar Discoveries.

The following communication to
the HERALD needs no words of expla-
nation:
LYONS STATION, Jan. 4th.
EDITOR HERALD: Having just re-
turned from highly successful tour,
through the neighboring mountains,
with Capt. Kraszynski of this place,
and knowing that at all times the
HERALD is anxious to give its readers
the latest and most complete intelli-
gence concerning the development of
the immense mineral deposits in this
county, forward to you the following
information regarding the wonderful
discoveries of cinnabar lately made in
the San Fernando region. The ledge
in question had been discovered and
located by the Captain some time
since, but upon reinspectiOn and pros
pecting to-day, the immensity and
richness of the claims gave the hope
that another Almaden" has been
found. Parties at the station who ex-
amined the ore and cOntrasted the
of New Almaden and Quien Sabe,
pronounced the Captains specimens
far richer than either. The new dis
coveries have caused the Captain to
withdraw from all negotiations that
are now pending for the sale of part of
his claims. A tunnel will be sunk
Immediately, in order to further de-
velop it. Plenty of wood and good
water to be had right on the grounds.
Will keep you posted, as the work pro-
crosses. M.

County Physicians Report.

From the report made to the Board
of Supervisors, by DR.. J. p. Widney,
physician in charge Of the Los Ange-
les County Hospital, for the three
months ending on the 3lst of Decem-
ber, 1874, the following items are
taken:
During the quarter 81 males and six
females were admitted to the hos
pital, and 70 males and 10 females
were under treatment during that
period. During the quarter 10 p;-
tients died and 81 were cured and dis
charged, leaving 3S patients in the
hospital on the lst of January, 1875.
The causes of death during the
quarter were as follows: Alcoholism,
i; paralysis, 2; phthisis, a aneurism,
/; Inflammation of the bowels, l; fever,
typho- -malarial, l.
Besides the cases admitted to the
hospital, great many others have
been furnished medicines, and medi-
cal attendance, free, on condition that
they should furnish their own board.
Several cases, sent here directly
from the hospitals of other counties,
have been received for few days, and
then furnished transportation to carry
them back to the counties where they
belong and are entitled to support. In
no case, however, has citizen of this
county been sent away to become a
burden to another county.
At various times persons have ap-
piled for admission to the hospital,
saying that they were citizens of Santa
Barbara county, but that when they
applied for relief in their own county
they were told that there was no pub
lie hospital in Santa Barbara county,
and that they must shift for them
selves. These poor persons told the
county physician, at the hospital
here, that they knew they had no
claim upon Los Angeles county, but
that unless this county would charita-
bly, care for them, they would have to
die IN the fields. From no other
county than Santa Barbara have such
complaints ever come. San Diego,
San Bernardino, Inyo-all care for
their own sick.
Many persons come here sick, remain
long enough to give them legal citi-
zenship, and then apply for admission
to the County Hospital This is a
manifest injustice for which it is diff
cult to see remedy. Some State leg
islation is much needed upon these
points. 1t is not just that one county
should bear the legitimate burdens of
another, because that other refuses to
do its duty toward its own INDECENT,
suffering citizens.

ENDORSEMENT OF THE

SAN FRANCISCO. NOVember 28, lS74.

SAN FRANCISCO, November rs, 1874.
WIN. II. MARTIN, General Agent California
Immigrant Union-Dear Sir:-I have just Wis
tied the "Centinela and Sausal Redondo"
Rancho, and driven over the land described in
your advertisement. With all my experience
in the southern part of California, have seen
nothing to surpass this tractin fertility of soil,
beauty of location, and advantage of easy ac
cess and salubrlty of climate. For purposes of
colonization, know ofno large body OF land
so near growing commercial centre, In Cali
fornia or elsewhere, To equal 1t. No part OF it
is unavailable for farms, orchards or home
steads. 1t can be subdivided into lots ranging
from five acres to several hundred acres and
every acre of it can be made productive. Water
is abundant and convenient. The land Is
subject to easy irrgation; and lean vouch for
the fact that 1t will produce anything that
fiourishes in Los Angeles or Santa Barbara
counties. 1t Is my confident opinion that the
value of shares in this magnificent tract will
be quadrupled within two years-such Is the
extraordinary influx of immigration to the
vicinity of Los Angeles at the present time.
Wishing you success in your undertaking,
/ am, very truly yours, ]. Ross BROWNE.

Semi.TropicaI Fruits.

There are few bearing orange and lime
produce is of the largest and finest quality.
There is an orchard containing 5000 orange
trees three years DID, and Loo almond, lime
and lemon trees. The almond, lime and
ange trees will bear in five years. There are
1000 three-year-old orange trees in the nur-
sery near the orchard. Fig, pepper and gum
trees grow without irrigation. The entire or
chard can be taken care of by three men with
six horses. The orchard will be kept undi-
vided by the company to save the expense of
each shareholder having few trees to take
care of. Each share will entitle the owner to
about Is trees in the orchard and about the
same number in the nursery. The almond,
lime and lemon trees will yield an immed-
ate return. In five years each orange tree Will
produce $40 per annum, or $500 per share for
those now planted. There are flowers in the
garden in bloom every day in the year.
