An Awkward Mistake.

The following very singular oe-
currence took place at Flint and
Mount Morris simultaneously on a
recent date, the truth of which is
well vouched for: Two persons, one
a white man, the other negro, died
at points distant from their homes;
the bodies were forwarded to their
friends, and the coffins in the course
of their transit came aboard the same
train, whence they were delivered at
the respective stations. The funer-
ais at each place were in waiting; the
colored people received the body of
their fallen brother, and the mourn
ers sadly followed it to the church,
where they listened to a pathetic
discourse. When the speaker had
concluded his sermon, the coffin was
opened, and, horror of horrors the
sable African was found to be bleach
ed out perfectly white. The short
crisp hair had given place to the
long straight locks of the Anglo
Saxon, the features were European
and the general semblanee was that
of full-blooded white man. The
CONSERVATION, horror, and supersti-
ton of the distressed mourners and
friends of the departed colored man
were boundless, as they gazed with
amazed countenances upon the face
of the dead, SO suddenly metamor
phosed into that of a white man.
That was at Flint. AS soon as rea-
son could assert its sway, it became
evident that there must be mistake
somewhere, and that the right man
had somehow got off at the wrong
station, and the corpse was immedi-
ately boxed up again and carried
back to the depot, where it was as
certained that at the time of the de- |
livery of the coffin to the colored |
mourners there were two cofins on |
board, and the corpses had merely |
been exchanged. At Mount Morris
scene was enacting similar to that !
described at Flint; at the close of
the services the mourners gazed with
agonized features upon the horrible
spectacle before them. In the coffin
lay, not the form of the loved friend
whose funeral services had thus far
been performed, but that of a stall
wart negro The feelings of the
relations and friends can be
better imagined than described.
Matters, however, soon became un-
lerstood, and telegraphic dispatch
vas received from the managing of
icer of the Flint & Pere Marquette
Railway explaining things. The
,orpses were exchanged, and repre-
of both nationalities final
Y had the satisfaction of receiving
heir own dead for interment. The
Ipparent fearful discoloration of the
White, and the unaccoutable bleach
ng out of the colored man, was no
onger mystery, and the friends
Vere relieved of any superstitious
nxiety that might have attended
he circumstance. The baggage-man,
FhoGe gross blunder in the delivery
ccasioned the difficulty, was
promptly discharged.

A Halifax paper tells rather
tough story, vouching for its truth,
however. The schooner Sultan was
dropping her anchor, when one of
the flukes caught in the ''blow-hole"
of large whale. The first thing
the crew knew the vessel was spin
ming through the water at the rate
of twelve miles an hour, and in just
the opposite direction from that in
which they wished to go. At length,
unable to free the anchor, and the
whale showing no signs of 'Getting
up" they were obliged to cut the
cable. This incident suggests new
motive power which Yankee inge-
nuity might turn to account in solv-
ing the question of cheap transpor-
tation-on canals, for instance.

The following recipe for destroy
ing bugs on squash and cucumber
vines has been successfully tried for
years. It is certainly worth a trial:
Dissolve teaspoonful of saltpeter

pint of this around each hill, shap-
ing the earth so that it will not
spread much, and the thing is done
Use more saltpeter if you can afford.

death to animal life. They burrow
in the earth at night, and fail to
rise in the morning. 1t is also good
to kill the grub in peach trees, only
use twice as much-say a quart or
two to each tree. There was not a
yellow or blistered leaf on twelve or
fifteen trees to which it was applied
last season. No danger of killing
vegetables with it. A concentrated
solution applied to young beans
makes them grow wonderfully.

AMAHRnAGE ARArDoNED.
A Deceived Bridegroom and a Disap-
pointed RrIde

The Wilmington (Del.) Repu6li-
can tells a story of a sudden and
total interruption of the course of
true love. 1t says. "Thursday
week two lovers took passage on the
afternoon train from this CITY to
Philadelphia for the avowed pur-
pose of being united in wedlock. On
their arrival in Philadelphia, a mes
senger was dispatched to Camden
to secure the service of a certain
preacher whom they desired to of
ticiate. At $50 o'clock the loving
pair appeared before the reverend
gentleman and announced them
selves ready to take a "new depart
ure" into the state of matrimony
The minister was required either by
the law of his State or the repula
tions of his church to keep a correct
and complete record of the names
of all parties married, also their real
age, and nativity, of their parents.
The ceremonies commenced in due
time; the intended bridegroom an
swered all questions promptly. To
the question how old are you? he
replied twenty-five years. The in
tended bride answered all questions
until she was asked her age. This
question shepoint blank refused to |
answer, whereupon she was politely |
informed by the officiating preacher |
that he could not proceed further
unless she would give correct an
swer to the question. She paused |
tor few minutes and then respond |
ed. 4 am thirty-one years of age!'
This unexpected announcement
seemed to surprise the bridegroom,
and apparently with great feeling |
he stated that her mother positively |
declared that she was twentv-six,
and as he was twenty-five he consid-
cred this an attempt to deceive him,
and further discussing and consider
ing the situation he finally decided
not to marry any woman who was
50 much older than himself, and who
had tried to deceive him.

The Privilege Of lnebrIety.

Is getting drunk an offense against
the public peace Is drinking whisky
tn an excpss n violation of the law and
the ordinance? 1t was, we believe,
King Charles Of England who passed
q law that man might get as drunk
as an owl, provided he did not disturb
or Inconvenience any one else by so
doing. The usual city ordinance
makes it an offense to become drunk
and disorderly; or, what Is the same
thing, to get so drunk as to become q
nuisance. But these conditions must
be attached to make drunken man
liable to arrest and fine. TO get com.
fortably, quietly and unobtrusively
drunk, is no violation of the law or
infringement on the rights of citizens.
This fact was demonstrated in the
Mayors Court of this city Monday.
A man was arrested for being drunk,
and the Mayor fined him Ave dollars.
He was taken from the municipal au-
th0rities on writ of habeas corpus,
and on the showing that he was inof-
fensively, harmlessly drunk, he was
discharged. His attorney, Col. How
ard, has established precedent which
may enable many poor fellow who
has filled his skin full of henzine, to
escape what has heretofore beer set
up as the legal consequences of his in
discretion,

Madame ArabsIla coddard's Concert.

The last of Madame Goddard's con-
certs in Los Angeles took place last
night, and was great success in every
respect. We are very glad to record
that the great artist can include our
city in her long list of trlumphs. Not
only is it most gratifying to the dis
tinguished lady herself, but it also
shows that the reputation which this
rising city bears for possessing proba-
bly, more musical local talent than any
other of equal population in the State
Of California is not an empty title, and
when an artist Of even the highest
standard in the world visits us 1t 10
satisfactory to know that he or she can
command appreciative, enthusiastic
and paying audiences. Madame God
dard's first piece was entitled "Erin,o
by Sir Julius Benedict, one of the
havura style, bristling with difficult
ties, chords, chromatic passages aud
runs from one end of the keyboard to
the other. The plaintive air, my
Lodging is on the Cold Ground" was
brought out with exquisite feeling,
and the martial strains of the MIN
strel Boy were rendered with real
enthusiasm. The Madame's second
piece was Haniel's delicious " Har-
monious Blacksmith" This grand
old theme was played with touching
simplicity, the variations being rem
dered with true feeling and the pian-
issimo passages were something mar
veIlous. A grand Scotch Fantasia
was next laid under contribution and
served well to display the lady's ver-
satility of talent. The crowning tri-
umph of Madame Goddard was the
rendering of Thalberg's "HOme, Sweet
HOme.n This Is one of her special
pieces. Those who have not heard her
In this elaborate fantasia can form no
idea how 1t ought to be played. The
pathos which Is infused into this sim
Pile air is truly touching, AMI the sing
ing quality of the piano is brought out
to, the full extent. The chartls Of thu
finale were struck with wonderful
force and wound up the elegant piece
with remarkable effect. We need
scarcely say that this piece, like the
others. met with q demonstrative ell
core, and that the lady very graciously
played another piece after each of those
on the programme, to the inexpressi-
BILE delight of her audience. The vo-
calists, Mile. Franzini and Sig. Maria,
filled up the inferstices OF the pro.
gramme very pleasingly. Madame
Goddard's performances are splendid
lessons to aspiring pianoforte players
who are privileged to hear her, and we
will conclude by wishing the fair ar
tist every success in her career of use

of which she is so faithful an ex.

A Good Word for Us.

The San Francisco Chronicle of the
4th instant pays us the following
graceful tribute: !" 1t seems as though
the whole State of California was
prospering; as though every depart
ment of business had received a new
and healthful impulse. We somehow
feel in the very atmosphere there IL a
vitalizlng iaAuence and that our State
is off upon u safe and prosperous ca
reer. While this is true of thu whole
State, Is especially true of the South
ern portion of it and particularly of
the city of Los Angeles. The "sec-
ondo cities of the State will have to
look to their laurels or Los Angeles
will soon carry off the pali,,. It would
lie hard for US to decide az between
Sacramento, Oakland, San Jose,
Stoekton, Los Angeles and Vallejo,

Tho Spell.

The spelling match mania broke
out In Los Angeles last night. 1t was
under the auspices OF the Ladies' Aid
Society, held at Good Templars' Hall
and attended by all who could squeeze
into the room with any reasonable de-
gree of comfort. Every one was on the
Qui viVc over an affair so long since
grown obsolete and 80 recently made
novel. About 8 O'Clock Mr.. Gillette,
President of Ceremonies, called the
assemblage to order and the pro-
gramme was opened by song-"An-
gels Ever Bright and Fair"-charm-
ingly rendered by Miss Nellie White.
The real feature Of the evening was
then entered upon with zest. Mr..
Gillette was appointed pronouncer;
Rev. A. NJ. Campbell Umpire, and
MessIs. Bland and Waliron leaders of
the opposing sides. a quarter was
tossed for first choice. Mr.. Waldron
won, and selected Miss Yda Adds.
Mr.. J. J. Ayers was the first choice on
the side Of Mr.. Bland. Then the Sc
lectiOns continued until seventeen Of
the company were arrayed on either
side of the hall i'll opposing lines, pre-
pared for tue onslaught upon the
dictionary. Many who were
called upon to participate, declined
through diffidence or lack of conf
dence in their spelling-book acquire
ments. The HERALD local was eX-
cused under both heads. Then the
spelling and the slaughter of the innO-
cents commenced. Mrs. Gillette went
down on "altar" Ia pious pr0cedure)
being unable to answer the poser pro-
nounced by her husband. Mr.. Blan-
chard couldn't see "daguerroty pei
and subsidized without an effort, while
yOungster named Kate, standing
hardly above Blanchard's knee very
small!) went through the word In tri-
umph. Our young friend Smith, fond
rs he is of the ladies, gave it up on
"sibyl," and took the mitten grace
fully. A double row was moved down
by the word ''caoutchouc," which no.
body save the little boy before men.
toned seemed to understand. Pres
cience" was hurled at Mr.. Bland and
" Esquimaux at Mr.. Waldron, when
both leaders fell in quick succession.
"ricdouloureux' proved the knight
which vanquishesl all finally and the
floor was left without q champion.
After this refreshments were passed
around by the ladies, recitation by
Mr.. Bland succeeded and the evenings
amusement was closed by another
spelling match, in which Miss Addis 8
came out conqueror and took the
prize. The affair was thoroughly EN-
joyed by all present. We understand
that another match of the same kind
will he held next Wednesday even-
