Card from C. P. Taggart, Esq.
Los ANGELES, o

Los ANGELES, Oct. s.
To my Friends:-I wish to state
that have received medical treat
ment from DR.. Aborn since the 14th
day of August last, and can truly say
that he is the only physician who has
afforded me relief from my complaint.
Being desirous of consulting him per .
sonally, and not feeling strong enough
to make the trip to San Francisco he,
partially on my account, visited Los
Angeles where it was more convenient
for me to see him. Heretofore have
consulted DR.. Aborn by letter and re-
ceived medicines by express from
which have derived decided relief.
Arriving in Los Angeles l saw the
Doctor personally and received an eX-
animation and further treatment. In
so doing did not expect the Doctor
to perform miracle. My case has
been long one standing, some eight
or nine years. employed the Doc
tor to treat me to the best of his abili-
ty and render me as comfortable as
possible, prolonging my life if it could
he done, | am glad 10 say that the
visit has been beneficial. His person.
al attention has greatly relieved my
distressed condition of the head, etc.,
and with no further improvement l
shall consider that my money has
been Well Invested. l leave for San
Diego on the steamer to-day.

Last evening Turn-Verein hall was

table was generously furnished by the
ladies, and it is not too much to
say that 1t was the most elegant

Los Angeles. Every substantial dish,
garnished with all the delicacies of
the season, loaded the tables, and,
while the viands satisfied the appetite,
they were gratifying to the aesthetic

highly commend the liberality of the

A STERLING GID POEM.

Who shall Judge man from his manners
Who shall know him by his dress?
Paupers may be fit for princes,
Princes fit for something less.
Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket
May beclothe the golden ore
or the deepest thoughts and feelings
Satin best can do no more.
There the streams of crystal nectar
Ever flowing out Of stone;
There are purple beds and golden,
Hidden, crushed and oyerthrown.
Col, who counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me,
While he values thrones the highest
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man upraised above his follows,
OFT fOrgetS his fellows then;
Masters-rulers-lo lords, remember,
That your meanest kinds are men!
Men of labor, men OF feeling,
Men OF thoughts. and men of fame.
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In mans enobling name.
There are foam embroidered oceans,
There he little wood-clad rills;
There are feeble inch high saplings,
There are cedars on the hills.
God, who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves and prosp'rs you and me;
For to him all vain distinctions
Arc as pebbles In the sea.
Toiling hands alone as builders
Ofa nations wealth and fime,
Titled laziness Is pensioned,
Fed and hattered on the same;
By the sweat of other>' forehoadS,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor m ms outraged freedom
Vainly lifts his feeble voice.
Truth and justice are eternal,
Born with low iness and light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there Is u unny night,
God, whose worldwide voice is singing
Boundless We to you and me.
Links oppression with its tit es
But as pebbles in the sea.

REMINGTON
SEWING MACHINE.

Perhaps they may wish harder name for
them when their merits are fully known t.
the people of Southern California. Though
hardly three months since its introduction
in Los Angelee, 1t has already become pet
machine, and in ease In running and perfec-
ton In construction IL stands unrivaled. In
the Eastern States 1t has already taken the
front rank in sewing machines, and is fast
taking the place of the older and harder run
ming machines
In the manufacture of their family ma
chimes they have increased from 40 900 to S5,-
100 In the past four months, and to-day with
their large facilities for turning out more
than $50 machires per day, the Remington
folks are 1000 behind in filling orders and
are obliged to enlarge their works.
In the manufacture of their rifles, revolvers,
agricultural implements, type writer, etc.,
their name has become a synonym of perfec-
tion In work and material, and everyone
knows when 1t bears the stamp of Remington
1t Is good and up to-not behind-the times.
Do the Singer folks base the merits of their
machines upon the sales OF former years, the
Remington base theirs upon the merits of
their machine as it stands to-day, and are
ready to try 1t against any machine in the

Measuring by the Eve,

Years ago when we went to school in the
little water beaten school-house on the corner,
we remember what exciting contests there used
to be over the teachers favorie exercise of hav-
ing the scholars try to estimate with the eye
the size and weight of different objects in the
room. He would hold up his cane for instance,
and have each one tell how long he thought it
was and it was lucky child that could come
within half a foot of the right length. He
would take boys straw hat, and ask how
much the crown would hold. He would meas
ure an urchin, and then have the scholars try
to reproduce the measure on the wall. He
would mark off an inch or a foot or yard in
some conspicuous place, and then see how near
any body could come to chalking the same
length upon the blackboard. And it was as
tonishing to see how wide astray one could
60. -.
The fact is, our eyes deceive us most rdicu-
lously even about the commonest things. AT
first thought, which should you say was the
taller, three-year-old child or flour barrel
And could anything but actual measurement
convince you that the same child is half as
high as a six footer? There is an old saying
that child at two years old is half as tall AS
he ever will be, and after a few experiments in
measuring, one can easily believe it; but not
before.
In Boston they have just been trying an ex-
pertinent of this kind. The Oriental Tea Com
pany for several weeks past has requested every
one who made a purchase of them, to guess
how much the big tea-kettle, which hung as a
sign over their door, would hold. Every guess
was recorded, and if correct, was to win pack
age of tea. About twelve thousand guesses
were on file. People tried every arithmetical
formula known for wine and beer measure
they measured the kettle by triangulation, and
even, it is said, slyly at night with ladder
and callipers. Competent engineers tried their
hand at it; and the guesses varied all the way
from two quarts to three thousand gallons.
The other day in presence of large crowd, the
city measurer filled the kettle with water. and
announced that it held two hundred and TWEEN,
4y-seven gallons, two quarts, one pint, and
three gills. Not one person had guessed right,
although eight came within three ,glls of 1t,
and seven more guessed two hume drcd and TWEEN
ty-seven gallons. Evidently, the Bostonians
are not good at guessing.

ST. PAUL AS A GENTLEMAN,-The Contem-
porary Review says: "St Paul was the idea of
a gentleman. Witness his deicacy and tact,
seen pre-eminently in advice and reproof: II
praise you not"--this is his euphemism for II
blame YOU" II partly believe it." when told
of the divisions among his children. Mark
his delicate tact with Festus, Agrippa, Felix.
Note the dignity and sweetness on receiving
the gift from the Phillippian church, the grace
with which he rejoices that "your care of me
hath hourished again." then the anxious guar
ding against hurting their feelings; also the
careful, but ye lacked opportunity" Let any
one curious in these points read from the tenth
to the twenty-first verses of Philippians iv.
The passage is full of subtle touches of charac-
ter Professor Blunt in the first ofhis lectures
on the "Parish Priest" admirably traces out
this characteristic of St. Paul, though from
another point of view than ours. And, once
more, if any reader would have perfect model
of consummate tact and intense delicacy, let
him study St. Pauls urging of request that
might have been a claim, in the epistle to
Philemon"

A Resurrection from the Dead.

We have an event to chronicle that would
scarcely be believed were it not authoritatively
vouched for by competent witnesses-partles
whose testimony cannot we'll be disputed or set
aside. A young man in the town of Vassal-
boro, in this county, was suffering in the last
stages of consumption, the disease which had
insduously and stealthily brought him to the
verge of the grave. For several weeks he had
been entirely PROSTATE and unable to speak,
even to articulate syllable He became so op-
pressed for breath that his attendants we're COM
PEELED to raise the windows in his room, put
out the fire, and resort to every means to OBJ
tain fresh air. One day last week Thursday,
we understand, the young man died. Friend
ly hands prepared the poor, emaciated body for
the burial but just as the attending friends
were arranging the remains for the casket,
there appeared unmistakable evidences of re-
turning life, in what had seemed to them an
nanimate mass of clay. The ear of an atten-
dant was bent down to the side OF the dead
man, and it was discovered that the heart had
begun again its slow and measured palpitations,
the pulse throbbed and the young man arose
from the death shrouds, opened his mouth and
spoke in clear and distinct words to those who
stood appalled, in the death chamber. There
was no huskiness in his voice; he appeared
lively and active said he felt not the slightest
pain, but, to use his own language; II feel
lust as we'll as ever did"
At his request the ncighbors were all called
in, who crowded the house for hours, declaring
that the recovery of the man was equal to any
miracle recorded in the scriptures. He told
this startled asscmblage of his friends and
neighbors that as he died, all things seemed
dark, but only for an instant; his eyes sudden
ly op opened to new world the real heaven
which had been so many times in his thoughts
and given him so much comfort in his last
weeks of pain and sorrow. He stood upon an
emnence which overlooked a vast and beautl-
ful plain the magnificent plain stretched FUR
ther than his enlarged vision could penetrate,
and he described it in language which, to his
mortal auditors, seemed extravagant in the en-
treme. But the revvified life of the young
man was not to continue long. Before night
he again resigned himself to death The body
was kept reasonable length of time, and bu-
rcd on Sunday last, the funeral being largely
attended. We have written out the particulars
of this remarkable event substantially as we
have heard them, allowing our intelligent read
ers the privilege of drawing their own infer
ences-Augusto (IMc.) Journal.

The Connecticut Election.

Connecticut has spoken, and the language is
clear, emphatic and unmistakable. Such
victory as that achieved by the Democracy
cannot be misunderstood. The administration
at Washington gave its entire influence to the
Radical candidates the most determined ap-
peals were made to the passions and prejudices
of the peoplc-even men like ex-Speaker
Blaine Joining in raising the cry of "loyalty"
and treason Despite all the influences
brought to bear against them, the Democrats
have reelected their Governor by q probably
increased majority, retained control of the
Legislature, and made gain of two Congress
men. When man of the great personal pop
ularity of General Hawley is defeated, it be-
comes evident that "a change in this admins:
tration" is inevitable.
The result in Connecticut settles the ques-
tion of the next presidential election, unless,
indeed, we throw away the present prospect by
blunders for which there can be no excuse.
From now until October next, there will not
be any election of consequence. Maine and
Kentucky will elect officers, but no political
significance attends either State, one being
hopelessly Radical and the other unchangea-
biy Democratic In October next, however,
Ohio leads off; and we feel sanguine that the
Democrats will carry the State by large ma
iorty. In November, New York, Pennsylya-
MIA and the great body of the States hold their
elections, but the result there will not interest
the public to any considerable extent, as it
will have been foreshadowed by the October
vote.
1t will be admitted, even by the Radicals
themselves, that the Connecticut election shows
the Democratic current to be stronger than
ever. The tidal wave" rushes on with resist
less power to the White House. No doubt the
defeat of the Radicals in Connecticut will
strengthen the opposition to Grants renomina-
ton, but even if he is not renominated the
Radicals have but little chance of success.
To drop Grant now is to lose a powerful influen-
tial ally, and to rtnominate him is to confront
an overwhelmingly hostile element. Thus in
either case, the prospect of our beating the
Radicals is a cheerful one: Altogether, while
the political situation will not warrant GU, '
folding our Lands and going to sleep, it is still
of character to warrant confidence that the
day of Radical domination is passing, and
passing forever.-Atanta Neaos.
