A Newspaper Correspondent.

Who is he? Santa Barbara is af-
fiicted with the presence of writer
from New York-a verbose cores
pondent of the New York Herald.
The atmosphere, water, fruit, or some
thing else in that lovely city, has
soured on the poor fellows stomach,
and we judge from the language he uses
in the Herald of the 18th ult. that his
condition is critical. He is treating
his own disease, which makes the case
still more serious. Invalids in his
condition should not be permitted to
prescribe for themselves, and the good
citizens of Santa Barbara should pay
more attention to their invalid guests.
This demented man was permitted to
go alone to druggist and buy bottle
of medicine, for which he was charged
four bits. The effect Of that bottle of
medicine, or the enormous price of it,
so inflamed the poor mans stomach
| that he belched out stream as long
as two and half columns of the Her.
aid of the most detestably bitter look
| ing stuff we ever saw. We hope it
relieved him, but we seriously doubt
If any human being can survive whose
| system once contained that amount of
poison. If we knew his name we
would advise his friends to come and
take him home. People afflicted as
this correspondent is should never
come to the Pacific Coast. There is
something in this climate or the fruits
of the country that increases the ma
| lignity of the disease, and very few
such invalids ever live to return to
their anxious friends in the East.
Since writing the above, it has been
more than intimated to us that the
New York Herald correspondent
wanted some of the people of Santa
Barbara to "see him. and he would
write up their country. The Barba-
rians couldn't see it; hence that bitter
article in the Herald. If this be true,
it accounts for many of the worst
symptoms in his case.

Centinela.

The object of the Centinela Land
Company is pretty well understood,
and the location and quality of the
soil they are placing in the market are
familiar to all searchers after homes.
The Centinela pamphlet has been
scattered broadcast and read by the
thousands whose eyes are turned in
the direction of Southern California.
Hundreds of people now in this valley
have visited the tract and gone over
and examined it for their own infor-
nation. Still few words as to the
area of land, its quality, and the man.
ner in which it is proposed to dispose
of it to the people, may be of interest
to new corners and those who have
not chanced upon the information
from other sources. The Centinela
tract is located six miles from Los
Angeles in the direction of the ocean.
1t contains $4,000 acres, which it is the
intention of the company to sell off in
five, ten, twenty and forty acre farms.
The sale is to commence on Monday,
the 18th inst, and will continue five
days. The sale is to take place at the
rancho. The Centinela is made up of
one broad, level, fertile valley of over
twenty thousand acres, and beautiful
fertile rolling hills near the ocean.
The soil is an exceedingly fertile loan,
and is, without exception, the richest
and most productive in Southern Cal
ifornia. It's vicinity to the ocean in
sures crop without irrigation. Ex-
cellent wheat has been raised for the
last two years upon the hills adjoining
the ocean. This wheat field contains
1000 acres and covers the lightest soil
upon the rancho. There is no alkali
or barren land. A square mile has
been laid off for town site, and provis-
ions are made for ample school facili-
ties as soon as a sufficient number of
families have located to make an edu-
cational establishment necessary.
Those desiring further information
will obtain it by calling at "The
Bankp in this city or at the rancho.

Emma Mining Co. VS.. Tenor w. Park
Baxter and senator Stewart.

NEW YORK, February 4th.-The full
text of the published complaint of the
Emma Silver Mining Company, of
London, against Trenor w. Park,
Baxter and Senator Stewart, suing for
$5,O00,OO0 damages, for alleged fraudu-
lent representation of the value of the
Emma mine, is received. The COM
plant charges wilfully false state
ments of such value based on men
dacious report by Prof. Benjamin
Silliman, for which the latter was to
receive a fee of $1,000, with $45, 900
additional, contingent upon the sale of
the property. Baxter is the Wall
street operator who was associated
with Stockwell in the Pacific Mail di-
rection. Among the various specific
charges is that of wilful concealment
of factt. One recites that in July or
August, 1871, an expert employed by
defendants reported to Park u Baxter
that one mass in the mine would soon
be found to thin down in its length
and depth, and at its then rate of ex-
traction the mine would soon De

Will it Pay7

No man embarks on an enterprise
now without asking the all important
question, will it pay? Life is too ac-
tive and too short to waste time on
anything that will not pay. Besides
the world is exceedingly selfish, and
cannot afford to contribute largely,
even to benevolent objects. We are
all in the boat together, and there are
but few exceptions to the above rule.
we are not disposed to blame anybody
for it; the world has gradually drifted
into this condition of things, and no
one is responsible. All we can do is to
keep in the current and float with the
multitude. Perhaps a millenlal day
will dawn upon the world by and by,
and then-well! What then? We
don't know, and as we do not expect
to be here we are not much concerned
about it. We are now hunting some
thing that will pay, and if figures
do not lie, we know we have found 1T
in the Los Angeles and Independence
Railroad. There is not road on the
continent that ever had half the pros
poets before it that this one has. The
whole mineral wealth of the richest
mineral territory on the globe is
tributary to it, and will be for all time
to come. 1t is low estimate to say
that from the day of its completion it
will have one thousand tons of freight
per day. If it should not increase,
this alone is the grandest business
ever presented to road. Look at it,.
At least two million five hundred
thousand per annum, for freight alone.
The passenger traffic and mails will
more than pay the running expenses
of the road. But the freight will
double in a short time, when that road
furnishes facilities to develop the
mineral wealth of that vast territory.
AS cheap freight is what we all want,
we will put the price to half our esti-
mate, and we have million and a
quarter per annum on freight alone.
Four millions will build the road.
The freight will pay twenty-five pei
cent on the investment, and give a
quarter of a million extra. Here is
the best permanent investment we
ever saw. 1t will pay. These esti-
mates are from the figures of an old
railroad man who has carefully studi-
ed the situation and has made his es-
mates on safe grounds. There is still
another important matter to be con-
sidered, and that is the certain and al
most immediate extension of the road
from the Point of Rocks ON to con-
Meeting point with the Union Pacific
near Salt Lake, by which we shall be
placed five hundred miles nearer New
York city than San Francisco is to
that city. We hope our people will
see the Importance of pushing the
road ahead. 1t is the greatest enter
prise in which we can engage for the
early and rapid development of South
ern California.

The Trial Of Muy bridge Closed.

NAPA, CAL, February 5th.-In the
Muybridge trial to-day, after recess,
the testimony in rebuttal was con-
tinued. Regarding the sanity of de-
fendant, the witness mentioned that
there was no evidence of insanity ex-
cept in his immediate connection with
the tragedy. At the close of the testi-
mony. recess of half an hour was
taken to prepare instructions for the
jury. After recess, Judge Storey
opened for the prosecution, followed
by Messrs King and Pendegast for the
defense, the District Attorney closing
for the prosecution at 10:30 P. NJ. The
Judge then delivered a lengthy charge
and the jury retired, and at six o'clock
in the evening had not agreed upon a

affecting the character of the plaintiff,
damages being laid at $4,000, was be-
gun yesterday in the Superior Court,
before Judge Curtis. Before the case
opened efforts were made to settle
without trial The plaintiff, after
the jury was impanneled, stated that,
not having brought the suit for the
sake of money, he was willing, if the
defendant should make full retrac-
ton, to allow judgment to be entered
for mere nominal damages. The de-
fendant declined in any case to allow
judgment to be entered against him,
but was willing, if the suit was discon-
tinued, to retract the charge made in
the San that the plaintiff had received
money. This not being satisfactory,
