Enocn Arden Once More.

OSHKOSH, Wis. December 3lst.-
Oshkosh has an Enoch Arden case.
A man named George Johnson left his
home and family twenty-three years
ago at Sheboygan and went to Utah.
For few years correspondence was
kept up, but finally he ceased to hear
from home or his family from him.
Having made a handsome fortune, he
returned to Sheboygan to look up his
family. He found no trace of them,
but learned that man named John
son had removed from Shebeygan sew
eral years before to Fond du Lac. He
supposed that this was his brother and
accordingly went to Fond du Lac. His
surmise proved correct. Here he
learned that his wife was married to u
man named John Foster and was liv-
ing in Oshkosh. He further learned
that his daughter had married son
of Foster. He arrived in this city,
called on his wife, and her feelings on
seeing her husband, whom she sup
posed dead, can better be imagined
than described. After remaining in
the city for few days, Johnson took
his departure, leaving behind his
much married spouse.

New Telegraph Line.

From reliable source we learn that
it is the purpose of the Atlantic and
Pacific Telegraph Company to COM
plete their wires to this city on or be-
fore the first of May next. The line
is now continuous from San Francisco
to Bakersfield. Another telegraph
line to this city will be worth thous-
ands of dollars to the people and the
newspapers. 1t will break up the old
monopoly that has cost Southern CAL
ifornia so many thousand dollars in
the way of enormous charges on pri-
vate business, and enable newspapers
to lay before their readers the same
dates that are printed in San Fran
cisco and other points reached by the
Atlantic and Pacific lines. AS soon
as the new line reaches this city, the
newspapers here will take their re-
ports from the new company from ne
cessity, as the Associated Press will
not permit the Western Union to send
reports until after they are printed III
the papers of the Association. BY the
present arrangement, news sent to
Los Angeles by telegraph arrives at
about the same time with the Bulletin
containing the same dates, and more
in detail. The Western Union Com
pany has played into the hand of the
news monopoly for years and justly
me its the heavy blow it will sustain
by the completion of the new wire of
the Atlantic and Pacific Company.

A CORRESPONDENT asks, Is it true
that editors are asked to reprint arti-
cles which have appeared in their
paper the day before?" We do not
think it is. When an editor fills his
columns with matter that he has pre-
viously printed, it is an indication that
he is trying to impose on the public to
the extent of seeming to publish more
matter than he really does. 1t is a
clearinghouse trick of selling the
same food twice, and shows both pov-
erty and cupidity,
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-01-07
The Railroad,

This question has simmered down to
a point. To do or not to do-that is
the question. Every true friend of
Southern California is now ready to
take hold and do what they can. All
doubtful tricksters will be busy throw
ing cold water on the enterprise. That
the enterprise will be success we
have no doubt, for it is in the hands of
men who always mean what they say.
They are in earnest and they call upon
all the people who desire the prosperity
of our country to take hold with them.
That there will be some holding back
we have no doubt, and it will come
from quarters that we least expect, yet
it will come. There is class of men
in our county who have been educated
to sell themselves, until per force of
habit they examine every enterprise
with an eye to what they can make
out of it by sharp practice. The inn
portance of the subject and its great
value to the country weighs not a
feather in their estimation. Their
price in ready cash is what they want,
and if there is no bid made they quiz
city let go aud finally use their influ-
ence against the enterprise. Our
object is to prepare the people to meet
such objections and avoid such dead
weight. The best men of this and San
Bernardino and the press of both coun-
ties are enthusiastic on the subject,
and so far as we can learn the people
are unanimously in favor of it. The
engineers with a corps of hands start
on the route tomorrow with provis-
ions and tools to begin the grading.
This looks like business. They have
full confidence that the people will
unitedly push the work to completion.
So far as the city of Los Angeles is
concerned, we again repeat it, that if
this enterprise fails we are seeing our
best days; if it succeeds we may be-
come the second city on the coast.

THE Senatorial fight in Nevada is
developing some curious phases of
human nature. For instance, some
twelve or fifteen Republican members
of the Legislature who are credited
with owing their election to SHARoN's
money and are known to have pledged
themselves to support SHARON for
Senator if elected, are now making a
show of opposition to him on the
ground that he is not a resident of
the State of Nevada. AS he was not
resident of the State when they
agreed to vote for him, why should
they refuse to do so now, unless, in
deed, it is a scheme to bleed the old
man again

THE San Francisco Post is now
printed on Bullock press; but it is a
bad print, which, We presume, will be
improved as the press gets down to its
work. Editorially, the Post is the
poorest of San Francisco's poor news
papers. It's stock in trade is vitupera-
tive slang about the Call, Bulletin and
Alta, and silly aping after the
Chronicle. Of the interior of the
State, its resources and development,
it knows no more than a pig of divin-
itxy

THE issue of the Los Angeles Express
for New Year consists Of eight pages.
The Express is by far the best paper
published in Los Angeles.-S'dn Fran
cisco Post.
This is about as near correct as the
little Post usually gets things. The
Express never issued an eight-page
number, and never will; but we sup
pose the little Post purposely substi-
tuted the Express for the HERALD. 1t
is capable of this style of misrepre-
sentation.

THE Evening Express is the Los An
geles Administration organ, yet in
reference to the Louisiana infamy it
uses this language: "The Administra-
ton of General GRANT sealed the at
testation of its own infamy ON Mon
day last, when the military arm of
the nation was permitted to enter the
State House of Louisiana and eject
members from their seats" The Pres
ident may well exclaim "Save me
from my newspapers"

The Story of Shame and Death

BUFFALO, January 3d.-Adelaide
Canute, young Canadian girl from
st. GATHERINGS, died at boarding
house in this city on Wednesday
morning last, and it has since trans
pired that an abortion performed upon
her by physician of this city was
the cause of her death. Late on Sat-
urday evening DR.. Madden was ar
rested charged with the crme, and
committed to Jail to await an exami-
nation. The unfortunate girl refused
to name either her seducer or the
physician who performed the fatal
operation.

SALT LAKE, January 3d.-The Tri-

This is nearly double the product of last

PRESCOTT, January 5th.-The capi-

at work in Arizona, making a road to
the Colorado, and twenty-five China
men at work in California, making
road from San Bernardino to connect

pleted this road will be almost one
