get a cent Of it; he expected to invest
the money in lands.
Our readers are aware Of the arrest Of
Woods and the negro johnson, and the
recovery of the $1,000 received by the
latter.
During the interview, Woods mother
was present, a very poor woman, with
hardly enough clothing to protect her
from the cold. She would often whin.
ingly exclain: TELL the gentleman all
you know, my son; don't tell a lie"
And he would reply: "Well mother,
I'm going to tell it right, il you'll let me
alone"
At the close of the interview Deputy
Sheriff Martin arrived and placed the
" bracelets" upon Woods, at which the
old woman arose and became very much
affected. She cried, and as Woods
was leaving, said to him: my son, tell
the truth about it to everybody; don't
tell a lie." To which the handcuffed
man replied: II will, mother. Good-by,
mother" And he left the poor old wo.
man, who dropped her face into her hands
and sobbed bitterly. Our hard.hearted
reporter, not being much Of a " weeper,"
lighted a cigar, and leaving the office,
strolled down town.
By way of adding a little romance to
the above story, it might be added that
when Old Mack left he carried Of
with him the unfaithful wife of Woods,
who willingly eloped with the old villain.
Another bit Of romance is the fact
that the mysterious woman who FIRST
gave information as to the robbers, de.
claring in advance that, Notwithstanding
the thousand dollars reward offered, her
conscience hurt her on account of her
knowledge of the aflair-was a mother.
in1aw. Such little scraps Of sentiment
go far to relieve the sombre aspect of the
daring crime.

TREAT REDUCTION
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-01-31

ssstory not half told.n And here
let us remark for the Information of
our distant readers, that at no time
and in no instance has the HERALD
knowingly and Intentionally over
drawn the description or account of
any place or thing in the county or
valley. It is the mission of the HER
AID to write up this portion of the
State; to report its mineral, agricul-
tural aud other resources; to tell of its
climate, its products and its beauties.
Our object in doing this is to induce
immigration, and we have steadily
kept in view the fact that our pur-
pose could only be attained by close
adherence to the truth. The soil is all
we have described it; the climate is as
genial and mild as stated and the pro-
ductions as varied and extensive as
claimed. There are no gardens of Para
disc here subject to pre-emption at
the Government price of one dollar
and twenty-five cents per acre, and
California was included in the edict of
God that man should earn his bread
by the sweat of his brow. Bnt this
does not prevent Los Angeles valley
being q desirable place for people
who like good land, mild climate
and beautiful surroundings.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-01-31
Houghton Explains.

The following dispatch will be read
with feelings of satisfaction by the
people of Los Angeles city and
county:
tive Houghton informs the Public Lands
Committee that he is opposed to every part of
the bill introduced by him by request, except
the section authorizing change OF route OF
tween Giiroy and Tehachape Pass, for which
he has received numerously signed petltlons
from settlers. He therefore opposes ooth the
extension of time asked for and the authoriZ-
alton OF new branch to connect the main
line with the Los Angeles branch. He will
also insist upon the adoption OF proviso that
settlers on the abandoned line shall be al
lowed to purchase their lands from the rail-
road company at 3 70 per acre.
The HERALD has not entertained
serious apprehensions that when the
subject was fully understood Congress
would permit the Southern Pacific
Company to float the route of their
road from locality to locality, as in
terest or inclination suggested, as well
as postpone at pleasure the time for
completing the road to points to which
they had bound themselves to lay the
track within given time. The state
ment of Mr.. HoUGHToN indicates that
he has given the subject some consid-
erable attention since he introduced
the obnoxious bill. The change of
route which he favors will shorten the
road between this city and San Fran
cisco nearly one hundred miles, by
enabling us to travel by way of San
Jose in place of going around, as now,
| by Stockton. After the documentary
evidence prepared by the Chamber of
Commerce reaches Congress, there
will be no further danger of u change
| of route or extension of time.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-01-31
Filling Our Sphere.

They tell in Europe story of a poor
man who was confined for many years
in cold, dark dungeon. There was
but one aperture in the wall, and
through that the sunbeams came for a
few minutes daily, making a bright
spot OH the opposite side of the cell.
Often and often the lonely man looked
upon that little patch of sunshine, and
at length a purpose to improve it grew
within his soul. Cropping ON the floor
of his cell he found nail and stone:
and with these rude implements he set
to work on the white portion of the
wall for the few minutes of every day
during which it was Illuminated, until
at length he succeeded in bringing out
upon it a rude sculpture of Christ upon
the cross! Let us initiate that pris-
oner Circumscribed may be our
sphere! Dark, indeed, may be our
daily lot! Yetif We love the Lord and
pray to Him and look for His direction
we shall discover some tiny chink
through which the sunshine of His
guiding providence shall come. On
the spot where its directing light shall
fall let US, with such means as we can
command, hew out, not in cold stone,
but in living love, the likeness of the
sacrifice of Christ. So shall we find
our special sphere, and fill it to the
commendation of the Master. he w, M.

Progress of the Investigation.


NEW ORLEANS, January 29th.-In
the Congressional investigation to-
day, Dir. Seroggs, gentleman who
was with Ex-Governor Wells at the
hotel table where the latter testified
he was threatened with assassination,
testified that he heard no threats and
saw no demonstrations toward Wells.
Witness advised him to leave the
table because the men were drunk.
Rafourd Blunt, a colored resident of
Natchitoches, a State Senator, testi-
fled as to the state Of affairs in his
Parish. He said there was tolerably
good feeling among the blacks and
whites up to June last; after that
there was a great deal of intimidation
of negroes, principally by threats.
w. FL. Maxey, a white Republican,
of Claiborne Parish testified to the in
timidation of Republican voters at the
last election, and that he was driven
out of his Parish.
Geo. Foote, of Carroll Parish, testi-
fled that the election there was quiet
and peaceable. He knew of no ostra-
cism Of Republicans en- account of pol
itics. The great complaint among
the people was high taxation and the
dereliction of Parish officials.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-01-31
Beecher's Theory.

One of Henry Ward Beecher's favor
ite theories is that man has two-fold
nature-the earthly and the spiritual,
the sinful and the glorious, the debased
and the exalted-so that perhaps one
man may be very bad man and very
good man. He may be betrayed by
his wicked nature into crime, and yet
be lifted above the earth. There is
something curious in the persistence
with which he takes this view of the
dual nature of man; and the other
Sunday in his pulpit, after spending
the week listening to the address of
Judge Morris and the testimony of
Moulton, he had to say of Christ: dThe
bodily life OF Christ is not Christ, but
1t is His soul life. Some merely look
upon Christ's life, as he went about
the thirty years of his life, as he went
through Gallilee, leaving Nazareth In
persecution, doing wonderful things,
making churches and religious com
munities, and coming down to Jerusa-
lem. And this itinerary life of Christ
has some relation to the life of Christ,
but is not the true life any more than
that the casket which contains YOUR
diamonds and pearls is itself the dia-
mond or the pearl. That Is not Christ
that ate, drank and slept. 1t is the
inward, thinking, living soul of Chris.
that is Christ. Now, how are you to
understand him? Can any catechism
teach you? I go to Italy; they take
me to the house where Raphael lived
painted; they let me into his studio,
and see his great works. am hid
behind screen when Raphael comes
in. l watch him as he takes up his
palette, and see him work and see the
smile play over his features. When he
has gone out again l pick up his shoes
and dressing-gown and examine them
and say to myself when / get home:
One thing l know-I have been to
Italy and know Raphael through and
through have not spoken to him;
have not followed the line of his
thinking; had not had any cores
pondenee with him. All that which
made him what he was did not have.
That which was given to him and the
peasants of Italy alike l know; but
what made him the commanding
painter of all ages-that is what l lost.
In studying Christs life 1t is that
which lies back of sensuous percep-
tions, that which lies back of intellee-
tnal analysis, that must be sought:
that in fact, which you can only
understand by having the feeling your-
self"

THE highly sensational account of a
duel at Black Point, lately published
i'm the San Francisco Chronicle, turns
out to be without the slightest founda-
ton In fact. The reputed principals
were IVES and ZECcHT, and it appears
that the latter's real name is RICH
ARDS, when he shoves the tailor's
goose, while it is DIR. ZECCHI while he
promenades Montgomery street. He
swore that the duel did take place,
and is now in. prison on a charge OF
libel. He invented the duel story
to give himself tone,
