Santa Monica. Its Progress.

On Sunday, upon the invitation of
Mr.. Charles G. Johnson, representa-
tive of the HERALD took trip to Sam
ia Monica. The progress of this re-
Gently founded watering place is most
gratifying, and augurs quite pros
porous ally for Los Angeles in the
near future. There are now nearly one
hundred houses in existence, or in
course Of construction and, though
most of them are mere temporary
structures, yet these are rapidly CIV
ing place to pretentious edifice. Prom
inent among those now going up is
the Club House of Mr.. Chas. G. john
son. The main building is 30 by 40
feet, and has billiard saloon attach
ed 80 by 18 feet. The latter will be
very private; provided with two first
class tables, and Chickering grand
piano. The second story, from which
is splendid view of the ocean, is to
be let to families. Mr.. Lucas will put
up a $1,000 house. The wharf is now
completed and provided with facilities
for unloading freight of any kind.
One of the Grains now in position is
guaranteed to raise ten tons. The
wharf is now under the charge Capt.
Shillaber, very competent official.
The stages now drive down the wharf
to the gang plank of the steamer.
Four miles of the Los Angeles and
Indepence railroad is completed; and
when the locomotive, which is now
being put together, is in running or
der, track laying will be pushed vigor-
ously. Trains will be running to Los
Angeles in less than thirty days. The
pipes to conduct the water from the
st. Vicente springs are being put
down, and Col. Jackson states that
there is an abundant supply of the
fluid. 1t is said that gentleman will
recommend to Senator Jones the i'm
mediate construction Of the superb
new hotel to cost upwards of 100000.
The birth of a newspaper of course
marks the progress Of California
town, and though Santa Monica now
has none, the deficiency will soon be
supplied, as Mr.. Street is to issue the
first number of the Santa Monica Tri-
bune sometime this month,

RETROSPECTION.
BY SHEP. p. SMITH.

When the summer days OF youth,
Are slowly passing by;
To the nightfall OF old age
And the dimming OF the eye.
While the shadows OF the past
Fall deeper DER the way,
Aswe journey ON and on,
To the closing OF the day.
oh! how often we look back
Down the vistas Of the past,
O'er the many Joys OF life
That were to bright to last.
And DER the many sorrows,
OF our earlier manhood's years;
The former, bringing pleasures,
The latter, bitter tears.
II we have homes to shelter us,
And hearts that love us too;
With friends to gather round, at
Our firesides, firm and true.
The roughness of our journey
Will be smoothed and worn away,
And brighter be our pathway
1t the twilight Of the day.
And happy those whose mingling,
With the worldly, busy throng;
or trav'lers on life's journey,
Have not fingered in the wrong.
But with their eyes uplifted
Ger the waves, and to the light
Have kept their barks from found'rlng
In .he dark abyss OF night.
From morning, noon, to nightfall
These bright spots brighter glow;
And the music Of those memories
Shall mingle as they flow;
With those holier, better feelings,
That should our minds engage;
SO tender, and so touching,
In the evening OF our age.

Ramie Machine.

Ramie can be grown to great perfec-
tion in Los Angeles county, and all
that is needed is machine that will
clean the fibre perfectly. Speaking of
the Industrial Exposition at San Fran
cisco, The Bulletin has the following,
which should attract the attention of
those who desire to cultivate this val
liable plant:
A curious looking machine, exhibit
ed under the Hawaiian flag, is some-
thing that attracts deal of notice,
and provokes numerous enquiries.
Some years ago the East India gov
ernment offered premium of $25, 200
for the invention and construction Of
machine that would thoroughly clean
Ramie fibre, and render it fit for the
manufacturer without any hand-work.
1t is claimed that the machine now
OH exhibition at the Pavilion will pei
form the service designated in the Of.
fer of the reward. The inventor claims
for his patent that one of his machines
will perform the work of fourteen hun
dred men. In day the machine will
handle ten tons OF stock, producing
one ton Of perfectly cleaned fibre,
which is estimated to be the work of
the above mentioned number of men,
in the same length of time. The pro-
duction of ramie Is growing to be one
of the most important industries of the
Sandwich Islands, bidding fair to SUI
persede the sugar interest. Fabrics
produced from ramie fibre are only ex-
celled by silk, and, indeed, silk and
ramie goods are so nearly alike that
many persons cannot tell the one from
the other. Millions of pounds of ra-
mie are annually manufactured into
dress goods; and on account of the
durability of the fabric, its ease of col
Oring and fineness of finish, 1t has at
tanned great popularity. Its suc-
cessful growth in many parts of Cali
fornia has tended to awaken new in
terest In everything that concerns 1t.

which in the government budget would be
odious as a new head of taxation, or which,
in the hands of engineers, might be passed by

dishonest profit, and when the amount Of
work was increased the same dishonest rate Of
profit extended through the whole job. The
Governor would have made his case strong
enough against the Canal Ring if he had not
stopped to sophistry. There is equal sophistry
in the replies of the Ring advocates, but the
people desire to see facts precisely as they are.
They are not willing to be misled or have their
judgment warped either by the Governor or
by the Canal Ring. The frauds and corrup-
ton which have long prevailed in canal
management are undeniable, and we devoutly
hope that the present angry explosion may
lead to effectual preventive legislation.

SPEAKER MCGUIRE is not winning laurels.
It would have been better for his reputation
if the honor of the Speakership had not been
binds its occupant to an almost judicial i'm
partaity, first between the two political par
ties, and more especially between factions and
divisions of his own party, by whose joint
votes he was made the presiding officer. II is
an unquestionable right of the Speaker to oc-
casionally come down to the floor and partici-
pate in the debates; but the occasion must be
important indeed which makes 1T decorous for
him to avail himself of this right when the
point in debate threatens to split his own
party. When Speaker Mcclure came on the
floor to denounce Governor Tilden for his op-
position to the Costigan bill he made great
mistake, although he was on the right side of
the question. Had he been elected as q men,
Der from the city it might have been excusa-
BILE; but Speaker sent to the Assembly by %
rural constituency, who have no interest in
the Costigan bill, would have done better to
keep out of that quarrel. His impulsive oppo-
sition to Governor Tilden in the canal contro-
versy is, if possible, in still worse taste Why
should the Speaker Of the Assembly make
himself champion of the Canal Ring?
Why should he so fax forget the propreties of
his position to rush into newspaper to i'm
pugn the motives of democratic Governor
Above, all and worse than all, why should he
permit himself to drag the honored name of
Chief Justice Church into this controversy
and attempt to identify his interests with
those of the Canal Ring? An impulsive,
hot-headed man like Mcclure is more danger
ous to his friends than to his enemies. We

The Canvass in Connecticut.

The canvass in Connecticut is proceeding
vigorously on both sides, without much noise
on either. The majority here is close one,
and party success swings from one side to
another from year to year. In the present
contest it is not easy to determine which way
it will incline but just now the democracy
has the prestige of previous good fortune,
backed by majority of eighteen hundred last
year. This prestige is sustained by the re-
only element of weakness in the party is in
the election of Mr.. Eaton to the United States
Senate. His reputed opposition to the war
for the Union makes it difficult for many Of
the republicans who are dissatisfied with the
policy of the administration to indorse the
choice Of the Bourbon democracy in this
instance. On the other hand, the republican
party and the republican candidate for
Governor are so thoroughly committed to
General Grants policy, including the
third term, that a victory would be
regarded as a complete vindication Of
every measure of the administration. In such
q contest there ought to be no doubt, and so
far as the State is concerned we conceive the
chances are in favor of the democrats. The
weight of the contest therefore falls upon the
Congressional districts If the democrats are
as active in their canvass as they were wise in
some at least of their nominations Con-
necticut may for once be represented in Con-
gress by full democratic delegation. 1t is
especially desirable that the Second and Third
districts should be carried by the able and
honest men whom the democrats have nomi-
mated while there would be no occasion for
regret if General Hawley should succeed and
parties change representatives in Mr.. Bar
NUNS district. Just now questions of the
highest personal fitness ought to be upper
most in the election of congressman In view
OF the great Importance attached to the result
we print this morning an interesting resume
of what the Connecticut politicians are saying
of each other.

The REPUBLICANS OF RHODE ISLAND, in their
State Convention yesterday had contemptl-
BILE squabble over the qualifications of dele
gates. The politics of that small State are of
little consequence at best, and the chronic
tendency OF the republicans to get into dead
lock borders on the ridiculous The endless
ballotings that took place before General
Burnside could be elected to the federal Sem
ate shows what desperate quarrels .may
spring up in a political party which is too
strong to fear the opposition, and the hitch in
the Republican State Convention points the
same moral. It is of little public consequence
which of the republican candidates for Gov
arnor wins the prize, and We wish the Con-
ventlon speedy and happy deliverance out
of their troubles.

The news from Cuba shows that the return
of Valmaseda to the island has had the effect
of rendering the insurgents more active than
frightened into submission by the presence Of
the man whose worst malignity was exhibited
in his treatment of the defenceless relatives OF
the armed insurgents. 1t must astonish the
returned Captain General to find that the in-
surrection which he proclaimed to the world
as extinguished has gradually won its way
back from the sterile mountains of the East
ern Department to the rich plains Of
the East. It must sometimes cause the
worthy gentleman who represents the power
and majesty of King Alfonso some quaims
of conscience to think that he it was who
taught the rebels the tactics they now use
with such effect against Spanish power. II
the success which has hitherto attended the
insurgents in their campaign against tho
plantations should continue the Cinco Villas
will soon be reduced to the condition Of
Camaguey, and there is no security that the
operations of the Cuban raiders may not be
pushed close to Havana. The losses already
inflicted on the sugar producing industry of
the country is immense. BY advices from
Sagua we learn that fourteen of the largest
estates in that jurisdiction had been de-
stroyed, and the flames of the burning estates
were plainly visible from the town. The
slaves too. are flying from their masters and
everything looks as if Cuba were to be turned
into new st. Domingo One thing is pretty
certain, Spains chance of subduing the island
is at an end. Had the Spanish generals been
able to shut the insurgents into the wasted
Central and Eastern departments the insur-
rection might eventually have been starved
out But under the new conditions of the
struggle their chance of crushing the patriots
is very slight, while ruin stares them in the
face.

It would seem to be impossible to heap
more honors upon the laurel-laden head of
Prince Bismarck, Chancellor of the German
Empire; but our last despatch informs us
that the Emperor has concluded to make him
Duke of Lauenburg. We do not know what
especial quality this new promotion will give
Prince Bismarck. His title of Duke is not SO
high as the one be already wears but our
impression is that the Emperor intends to en-
roll Prince Bismarck among those earlier dukes
of the Empire who have territorial appanage,
and he lifts him by this promotion into the
charmed circle of royal princes who, not long
since, were rulers in their own name, and
who, although they have merged their sove-
reignty into that of Prussia, preserve the
honors and courtesies of the old time. If
any German of thi. generation deserves to be
a Prince, with royal prerogatives, it is Bis
marck. The Emperor by this promotion
puts an end to the stories of coolness be-
tween himself and his Chancellor, and con-
vinces the world that in this contest between
the Empire and the Holy See he means to
stand by the Protestant cause
