The Grand Jury.

Yesterday the Grand Jury made
their report, and the thanks of the
county are due to them for their
prompt and fearless discharge of duty
Below we present copy of the official
report for the perusal of or citizens:
To the Honorable Judge Of the Honor
able County Court of Los angeles
County:
SIR: We, the Grand Jury of Los
Angeles county, submit the following
report:
We have found the following indict-
ments, viz:
For gambling, six.
For manslaughter, one.
For assault with deadly weapon,
two.
For housebreaking, one.
For grand larceny, one.
For misdemeanor, two.
For MURDER one.
Number of bills ignored, three.
The following charges were not acted
on by the Grand Jury for the reasons
assigned therefor, viz:
lst. The case of the People vs.. San
tellanes, accused of assault with intent
to kill, oil account of the absence of a
material witness.
I'd. The case of the People VS.. Fred'k
Wetzkel, accused of assault with
deadly weapon. on account Of
the inability of material wit
ness to attend, on account OF sick
ness.
Sd. The People VS.. John Ward, ac-
cused of assault with deadly weapon,
on account of the absence ofa material
witness.
We visited the County Hospital,
and found the patients well cared for
and the premises in perfect order. We
cannot commend too highly the kind
ness and attention of the Sisters in
charge.
The committee appointed to visit
the County Jail found the premises in
as clean condition as circumstances
would permit. The jailor deserves
credit for his efforts to render the in
mates comfortable; but we most ear
nestly recommend some action by the
proper authorities to erect proper
buildings for the confinement of pris-
oners, the present being inadequate
and utterly unsafe, besides being dis
graceful to the county. In testimony
to the insecurity of the present Jail,
We need but cite the case of the luna
tic at present confined therein. This
man freed himself from his cell by
wrenching iron bars and tearing out
castings; and, but for the timely inter-
ference of the jailor, assisted by the
prisoners, would have demolished the
interior of the building and without
doubt murdered some Of the inmates.
In our opinion it is absolutely essen
tial that there should be a secure place
for the confinement of lunatics; at
least, as at present they have either to
be turned loose among the prisoners
or chained hand and foot to prevent
their escape and the commission of
mischief. It is the sense of the Grand
Jury, that no delay should occur in
the execution of these suggestions.
rendering our thanks to the District
Attorney and the Sheriff for their uni
form courtesy, we submit the above.

Dolly Warden Retrenchment.

The Stockton Leader charges, and
produces the figures to show it, that
the municipal debt of that city has
nearly doubled under three years of
Dolly Warden rule. On the same SUBJ
ject the Independent says: The
Council is limited by law in its an
nual expenditure to $50 0dO, and it has
exceeded that amount. Last year an
extra tax was levied to pay off the
then floating debt, which amounted to
nearly $4,000, and yet we have o
floating debt of about $4,000, and
this, too, under regime professedly
inaugurated in the special interests of
retrenchment and reform. tis that
kind of retrenchment that leads to
bankruptcy"

Rev. H. H. Messenger has just re-
ceived a shipment of 800 bulbs Of the
Florida banana, which he is planting
on his place near the Mission. It is
said that this fruit flourishes in the
State from which the bulbs were
brought, although the climate is sub
ject to more changes and at times Is
colder than ever experienced here. The
banana is not Indigenous to Florida,
but was acclimated there after twelve
years of hard trying. The fruit will
no doubt grow here and flourish from
the outstart.
Wine and oil, milk and honey, are
the phrases generally used to denote
richness and abundance, From the
Bible down to the latest immigration
circular, land overfowing with milk
and honey has been the objective
point. The Israelites when they left
Egypt and crossed the Red Sea, with
out even pontoon, and struck into
the desert without considering tho va
ration of the compass caused by their
iron vessels, We're going for wine and
oil, and milk and honey; but whether
they ever reached the Promised Land
has been a matter of historical doubt
since the discovery of California.

Don PasquaIe.

An appreciative audience witnessed
the presentation of Don Pasquale last
night at Turner Hall. The opera was
given in good style and received
hearty encores from the audience. Its
plot is operatic in the extreme and the
performers exhibited unusual ability.
The operatic transitions from the
depths of despair to the heights Of
bliss; from double-bass to elevated So
prano, were given with the musical
effect of true artists. Their merit en-
titles the company to large audience
on Friday night, at which we hope to
see the musical talent of Los Angeles
present.

The Cats and the Tarantula.

| HAD pair of jct-black yellow-eyed
cats, twin brothers, of very large size,
which followed me when walked about
my grounds, and they usually accom-
panied me when | hunted the Texan
hare on the adjacent mesquite prairie, or
when | aDgled in my fishing g-boat on the
Colorado River. They were very much
attached to me, and commonly sat near
me or slept under my chair or table when
| was reading or writing. They pos
sessed unusual intelligence, and l had
taught them variety of amusing tricks.
They were as useful to me in my war
upon the tarantulas as the pointer was
in my contest with the snakes, although
the spiders were not so numerous or
dangerous as the copperheads. One day
was sitting in passage between two
rooms of an unfinished house upon
which the carpenters were at work, care
lessly leaning back against the wall read
ing, while the cats were lying near me
on the rock pavement which formed the
floor of the passage. One of them
sprung suddenly and gave me sharp
blow upon the side of my knee, which
attracted my notice slightly; but as they
often did something of the sort to induce
me to lay aside my book when they
wished me to give them water or play with
them / did not pay particular attention
to it, and resumed my reading. Soon one
of them leaped three or four feet in the
air and struck me on the shoulder, and
instantly the other sprapg almost as
high as my head and knocked a huge
taraniula from the collar of my coat,
which fell heavily upon the pavement.
1t Immediately made battle" by facing
the cats and raising its two fore-legs at
them, and threatening them with a dis
play Of its fangs. l did not interfere
with the fight, knowing that the cats un.
derstood well how to conduct it. They
quickly separated. and one confronted
the enemy while the other placed him
self in the rear. When the spider made
| furious but Intellectual spring at the
one which faced it, the other behind
gave it a sharp pat upon the head with
his paw which paralyzed it. then took
! it up with pair of tongs and placed il

A RuDEc Settler.

The bunkosts have at last met with
an ugly customer. His name is Freder-
icks, and he comes from Iowa, and he is
a man of Drawn and muscle. Arrived in
the city, and strolling about to see the
sights, he was of course picked up by
"roper-in' for bunko establishment,
who, of course, knew him and all his
family, was an old townsman, and was
very solicitous concerning his welfare
1t was not long before he had placed
himself on terms of intimacy with the
man from Iowa, and volunteered to show
him the lions of the city, and one of the
very first lions was bunko establish
ment. The man from Iowa, however,
had not been in the establishment long
before he saw through the little game,
and demonstrated. Then the bunko men,
intent upon fleeing him, attempted to
lock the door, but the man from Iowa
knew game worth two of theirs. He
did not suffer himself to be stripped and
then go and whine to the police. He
placed himself upon the war-path,
promptly and eXpeditiously, and gave
them taste of Granger muscle. One,
two, three, and three of the bunko
men were piled up and doubled
up promiscuously on the floor, won
dering what hit them. Then the
man from Iowa took the key from
one of the crowd, opened the door,
and departed without molestation. He
dispensed with the services of any more
guides, went over to the Universalist
Convention, which happened to be the
only religious body in session, and OBJ
tanned some spiritual consolation, and
then went to his wife and babes in Iowa
in a serene and contented frame of mind,
and without any loss in purse. We are
glad that at last one Granger has turned
up who is master of the bunko situation
and knows how to play the game We
hope that Iowa has more of them, and
that she will send them here carly and
often. There is nothing which disturbs
a gambler so much as brawny Granger
fist planted squarely between his eyes.
1t is quiet, and prompt, and satisfac-
tory method of dealing with the ques-
ton, and the men of muscle from the
rural districts should understand this
1t is of no use for them to appeal to the
police authorities for help, and money
lost in these dens is lost forever. A
great deal of satisfaction, however, may
be obtained as the man from Iowa OBJ
tanned it, and we hope our rural friends
| will help themselves. No one Will call
them to account for it. Chicago Tribune

Wanted to Copyright a Dog.

A rather intelligentlooking man came
into the United States Clerks office yes
terday and stated that he desired to take
out copyright. Mr.. Tom Ambrose ex
planned that, by the change in the law of
1870, his application must be made direct
Jy to Washington. He said he had a
table performance he wanted to get
copyrighted, and inquired how it
should be done. Capt. Ambrose told
him he would have to send three copies
of the work to the department at Wash
ington "Of which, the table or the
dog?" asked the man. What do you
want copyrighted" inquired Ambrose.
Why, performance on table by a
dog. / might send three tables on, but
you see have but one dog. The little
fellar acts the cutest you ever seed, and
there's money il 1t for me if | can only
get copyright on it so other folks can't
learn their dogs to do the same tricks.
How'll it do, Mister" Capt. Ambrose
assured him that he had no rem
edy except to make his dogs acting
so superior 10 others that they would
not be encroachable by dogs of inferior
talent; just the same copyright which
artists enjoy.-Cineinnati Enquirer.
