Death of the vice-President.

Early yesterday morning the conf
munity was startled by the announce
ment of the death of Vice-President
WILSON. The news was rendered all
the more startling by reason of the
fact that though Mr.. WILSON was
stricken with paralysis some days ago,
he had so far recovered as to be pro-
n0uDced out of danger. His death
was sudden and unexpected by his
physicians and attendants, and was, it
is supposed, caused by the rupture of
blood vessel. Like ANDREW JOHN
SON, Mr.. WILSON was one of the coun-
try's selma men. These two great
men, whose lights have gone out so
nearly simultaneously, were the hand
iwork of nature. The college had
nothing and the school little to do in
preparing those giant intellects for
the lofty and brilliant course they
marked. Mr.. WILSON was q native
of Pennington, New Hampshire,
where he was born in February, 1872.
He began life poor and reached his
majority bound boy on farm. AT
ter serving his farming apprentice

TROUBLE ON THE BORDER.
A Battle between the Mexican and
u. y. Troops.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Nov. 2lst.-
a telegram was received at headquar-
ters yesterday from Col. Potter, at
Brownsville, reporting that forty men
of the Eighth Cavalry had crossed the
Rio Grande to support Capt. McNally,
who had been driven To the river by
MeXicans, and who had been ordered
to return. 1t appears that the L. ).
cavalry caught some Mexican cattle
thieves crossing with stolen cattle, and
u demand was made by the United
States officers on the Mexican author
tiles to deliver up the cattle and
thieves, which was not done. The
United States troops, being ordered
not to cross the river. rniainpd nn his
side, while McNaiN, with thr Texas
State troops, ,rro~s.lt oV / and aiisnpt-
ed to recapture tie cattle. The MeXi-
cans drove McNaily before hem. The
Eigth Cavalry then crossed over the
river, contrary to orders, and fought
the MeXicans side by side with Nc
Nally's men, until they We're obliged
by overwhelming force to fall back to
this side of the river. Four MeXicans
were killed. 1t is not improbable hat
the MeXicans will cross over. The
cattle were not recovered. Los Curos,
where the fight took place, is the head
quarters of the CortiDa thieves.

THE San Francisco Chronicle, which
never experienced Democratic SEN
timent in its life, and would not rec
ognize the feeling should it acciden-
tally come upon it, is devoting its
columns to advice and suggestions to
the Democratic Legislature. 1t is not
long since the Chronicle was firm in
the faith that no Democrat ever was
or ever could be honest, and it is we'll
known that not single Democratic
member of the Legislature ever re-
ceived o friendly word from this self
assumed adviser. With these facts
before them it is hardly probable the
Democratic Senators and Assembly
men will pay great heed to sugges-
tions made by the Chronicle. The
Legislature has much to do, and there
is a great deal that it should not do or
heed, and prominent in the latter part
of its duty is the torrents of advice
poured forth by the Chronicle and
other Republican journals.

Cant and Humbug.

The world is full of cant, humbug
and hypocricy, and the worst of it is
that much of this disgusting and DAM
aging nonsense is found in the place
where only purity and simplicity
should dwell-the pulpit. This world
is too far advanced to accept the min
isterial cant about an avenging God
wrapping city in flames or flooding
country with water, yet preachers in
San Francisco and other cities of our
State have stepped into their pulpits
and with uplifted hands and emotion
al faces uttered the monstrous lie that
Virginia City was destroyed by God
because of its many and heinous sins.
Is it possible that man with sense
enough to preach an intelligent SER
mon can be so ignorant as to believe
this himself and labor to make others
believe it? We do not believe such a
man lives, and he who makes such an
assertion wilfully states what he knows
to be an untruth and presumes more
than he should upon the credulity of
his hearers when he asks them to be-
lieve such libelous nonsense. 1t is q
libel on the goodness of God. God is
just and pure and good, and when
those calling themselves His minis
ters-teachers of His gospel-assert
He is petty, malicious, spiteful God,
who burns city and turns into the
cold and snow thousands of women
and children who never committed a
crime, because there were lot OF bad
and wicked men in the place, are
slanderers, blasphemers. Virginia
City was burned by accident. The
vengeance of God had no more to do
with it than God himself has to do
with the canting ministers who preach
libels on His goodness.

About the Fair.

We regretted to see SO few of our
citizens at the Agricultural Park yes
terday. 1t is noticeable that there is
great lack of interest in the Fai r
this year. There are reasons forthis
which may be stated in order that the
causes may be avoided in fnture. The
time for the Fair was fixed month
or six weeks too late in the season.
We do not know the cause of this but
we are confident it will not occur
again. Then the Fair consists Who'll
ly of racing-a part of the programme
i'm which comparatively n small pro-
portion of our citizens take active in
terest. Lastly there is feeling,
whether justified or not, that the races
are intended more to make money
than to test the speed and power of
the horses. The gentlemen who own
majority of the stock of the Agricul-
tural park property are not what are
called horse men. They do not bet
cent on race yet the have invested
large amount of money iii purses
and improvements and they should
receive at least the endorsement and
encouragement of the presence of our
own people. Los Angeles is the CEN
ter of large and rich district and she
will some day be the capitol of a
State. The property on which few
of our leading citizens are eXpending
large portion of their private for
tunes will soon become the pride of
the community and by and by we
will all wonder that we took so little
interest in the proceedings of the So
ciety. We trust that next year new
and more general Fair programme
will be presented. Our annual Fair
should be not only a trial of the speed
of our horses but an exhibit of our
products of every kind and quality.
The Society should erect on the
Park grounds a large pavilion; there
should be cattle stalls and sheep pens
as well as stables and our Fair should
exhibit the products of the soil, the
handiwork of the mechanic the fabric
and machinery of the manufactory
and the stock of tie farm. Every
thing should be seen at the park
grounds. The railroad and the street
car render going to and from the Park
the work of but few moments. We
hope to see this plan carried into eff
feet next year. Then and ever after
our Fairs will be successful and bene-
fetal not only to one class of the COM
munity but to, all. Then the farmer,
the mechanic, the manufacturer, the
artist, the stock raiser and every 9TH
er representative of an industrial pur-
suit will be equally interested and
each will labor to make the annual
exhibit q grand success.

A Complaint.

EDITOR HERALD:-A pedestrian
would think as he read your Sundays
issue that our city fathers, or the pow
ers that be, who have control of street
Improvements, had made all necessary
provisions for his comfort in crossing
from one street to another by build
ing crossing walks, so as to keep him
from mud and slush, our ankle deep,
and that such necessary conveniencies
were to be found in all parts of the
city, especially so in its most active
business portion, where frequent
crossings are an absolute necessity;
and that the chain gang captain was
derelict in duty, for not keeping such
cross walks clean. Now if that be the
captains duty my experience here in
Los Angeles, teaches me that his neg
lect is certainly ineXcusable and wor-
thy of your censure, as the labor to be
performed would be light, and entire
ly confined to the crossing of First
street with Spring street us | have
been unable to find any others in any
part of the city! Query! Does such
evident negligence, and want of con-
veniencies, added to the credit of the
city? or honor to the administrative
ability of those who control its affairs?
Respectfully yours,
PEDESTRIAN.

A Letter from the other World.

A gentleman who said he knew of

Wilmington were lost on the Pacific.

sists that he is not dead or that if lie
is he is still at work deepening the

he wrote the letter. His death is re-
corded and the record cannot be
scratched out. But just to show how
we'll dead man can write we print
his letter:

nest opponents of slavery, and he
maintained his warfare until the in

How They Talk.

Southern California is heard of,
read of and talked of throughout the
United States. The following we clip
from the Newport (Ark.) weekly
Ne,Us:
Our noisy neighbor, Mr.. w. D. Shackelfor,l
is on his head TO go to California, and since
he started in on those smoke-stacks we have
several times seriously thought of lending
him the money to travel on. He has recelv-
ed a letter from brOther-in-law in Los An
geles which does read II little temptingy, and
from which we could not so willingly eX-
tract, except with the predatory remark that
from Jackson county Among other things
the letter says: 'rhis will without doubt be
the metropolis ofSouthern California. The
city of Los Angeles is situated some four hum
dred miles South and II little East of san
Francisco, and eighteen miles back from the
sea-coast. 1t is now the second city in COM
mercial point of view In the State and is des-
tined to be quite n railroad center There
are two short roads completed now, and the
road to San francisco Is nearly done. The
Los Angeles and Independence road is being
graded. This road will tap the Union Pa
cific and there will be com pleted this yearl
one hundred and fifty miles of the eXas Pa
cific. All these roads will concentrate in
Los Angeles. This valley Is one of the larg-
est and most fertile bodies ofland in the State
and the beauty oft Is that it will grow al
most everything you can think Of Cabbages,
Irish and sweet potatoes, onions and III fact
every variety of vegetable will grow here and
IL is the finest fruit country | ever heard of.
1t is nothing uncommon to see a bunch OF
grapes weighing six pounds and lemons and
oranges grow as large as your fist. Apples,
pears, peaches, pluns, apricots, nectarlnes,
lines, pomegranates, citrons and figs are
here nearly every month in the year. Bar
ley does well but wheat is not n paying crop"
