FROM the LeUant Herald of July
9th, we take the following account of
a Fourth-of-July celebration in the
East:
AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY.
"The Americans residing in Constanti-
nople celebrated the Goth anniversary of
their National Independence on Saturday
last, the 3rd of July, by picnic at Huns
kiar Iskelessi. The American Minister, the
Hon. Horace Maynard, presided, and after
having made some appropriate remarks
on the day we celebrate, proposed the
health of the President Of the United
States, and called upon the Consul General,
Mr.. GoOdenow, to respond. The next toast
The Sultan and his Empire was re-
sponded to by Col. Waters, of Msssachu-
sets that of Modern Commerce. by
Mr.. C. r. Robert, of New York, whose
munifcent generosity founded and sustains
the college which bears his name, at Rou-
meli-Hissar; Education in Turkey, by
| the Rev. DR.. Washburne, Director of Rob-
ert College; 'The Press of Constantine
ple,' by the Bev. DR.. Bliss; The Mother
Country and the English Language by the
Rev. DR.. Long; THE East and the West,
by the Rev. E. Giosvenor; THE Brother
hood of Man. by the Rev. DR.. Wood; and
The Ladies of America by the Rev. Mr.
Pettibone, who regretted his inability to
do justice to the subject. The most cordial
goodwill was expressed by several speak.
ers to the Mother Country and the English
people, and the noble example of two
great nations settling vexed and irritating
questions by other arbitrament than thai
of the sword, was alluded to as rejecting
the highest honor upon both Governments
and peoples. The banquet concluded by
three cheers for Mr.. Maynard, the Ameri
can Minister, who expressed his gratifca
ton at thus having an opportunity oil
making the acquaintance of SO many of hi
fellow-citzens"

BUSINESS MATTE RS.

Senator Brownlow will exercise no
personal supervision whatever over the
business management of the DAILY
CHRONICLE and the WEEKLY WING
AND CHRONICLE. All matters of bust
ness, such as advertising, subscription,
&C., will be attended to at the Office, on
Market Square. None need apply to
Mr.. Brownlow on this subject.

The failure of Duncan, Sherman
& Co. is the great event of the week.
The question that is being asked
everywhere is, chow will it affect
business ?" The New York Times in
an editorial answers the question in
part as follows:
One way in which the Duncan, Sherman
any doubt is that it will make people more
cautious regarding expenditure. Of course
this does not tend to the immediate revival
of trade but to the reverse but it does
tend to ultimate prosperity, and, until we
have "touohed bottom" is an indispensable
condition to the renewal of prosperity. All
business depression, lasting as long as that
has lasted from which this country is suffer-
ing, is caused by the people, as whole
spending more than they have produced
and the only possible relief for it is pro-
ducing more than they spend. In 1873 we
| found ourselves with an enormous balance
OH the wrong side of our books, and We
have been trying very hard to bring il
around on the other side. We have been
producing as fast as we could find a market
for the product, and spending much less
than before. But the general feeling il
that the process has not gone far enough
and that there must be good deal closer
sailing and good deal more self-denia
than we have yet had. This feeling is SURE
to be strengthened by such an event as the
recent failure, and it is probable that The
final effect will be good.

THE HOTEL


We were shown yesterday bed
stead, owned by Pancho Johnson,
which was made 40 years ago, by
hand, in Alamos, Sonora. 1t is made
of Mexican mahogany, and has the
makers name and the date cut in it
with knife. It's history is well au-
thentcated, and the bedstead is in Il
good state of preservation.
The ladies of the Fort street M. Il.
Church are making fine progress with
their proposed Thanksgiving dinner.
The new church room will be provided
with from 12 to II extension tables
for the accommodation of families and
parties. Tables or seats may be en-
gagged before hand for any hour from
IL to 7 by persons desiring reserved
seats.
Among the recent shipments from
the S p r r depot were is bales of
pelts, 40 salt hides and 2G bales of pelts

smoke house and ware house, in South

cd, what ~. III! depths of woe

Oh God! what ~. n. depths ofwoe
Beneath the Il Iwers the happy tread!
What mournful cypress branches grow
Beside the roses joy has bi ed!
For one who sniles-how many grieve!
For one who laughs-how many weep!
While those on shore securely live,
What ruthless storms the ocean sweep!
And yet, ye storms, ye come and go;
Ye torrents sweep the land and pass;
oh that It. were with sorrow so!
oh were il thus with tears, alas!
Though one the aim-the common tomb
How different shows each single way!
Ye all who wander that of gloom,
OF grief, and terror. and dismay-
Bear on the load nor feebly sink,
Nor doubt for all n fitting close;
II Is the thirsty who will drink,
The weary who vii find repose.

quantities, and, it is claimed, with
profit. Corn and barley give an
abundant yield. Grapes grow thriftily
if we may form an estimate from one
vine which we saw trained over an
arbor and which certainly shaded n
space of ten or twelve hundred sqaure
feet. A good crop of grass is produced
everywhere on the tract, Which rem
ders it excellent for grazing purposes.
Incidentally we may state that we
passed herd of five hundred cattle
feeding i'm an enclosure little to the
West of Pomona.
The unsurpassed agricultural advan-
tages which this section possesses, un-
der proper development, will render
POMONA AS A TOWN
A center of considerable importance.
1t already monopolizes the trade and
the general interest of the valley; has
the depot, the pestoffice, the store and
the whisky, to which al must pay
tribute.
The prospects are also good that the
Los Angeles and Independence rail-
road will cross the Southern Pacific at
Pomona, giving this town the benefit
of two roads to Los Angeles and tide
water. This is the only town in
Southern California, outside OF Los
Angeles, that has prospect of Sec
ond railroad line.
School facilities are at present very
meager, but active steps are being
taken to erect school house at cost
of abOnt five thousand dollars. The
district has some two hundred and
fifty school children.
THE HOTEL
Built by the company and conducted
by Mr.. M. A. Marshall is model of
good taste, convenience, and all that
goes to make hotel excellent.
In closing we must extend our
thanks to Mr.. l.. NJ. Holt, Secretary of
the company, for courtesies eXtend-
ed. He knows perfectly how to make
an excursion pleasant for lot of hun
CRY and dry newspaper men after he
has led them off OH a wild chase OF
thirty or forty miles. Our thanks are
also due to Mr.. II. M. Towne and to
Mr.. Marshall, mine host, and his ex-
cellent lady.

A Ne,o Board Of tontrot to be Elected.

In response to an inquiry from Sheriff
Springmeier, his counselor, Thos. A. Lo-
gan, has written the following, OF which
we give the important points as his opin.
ion in regard to the Sneritf's duty to is.
sue a proclamation for the election in
April next of members of the Board ol
Control of this county:
The laws of Ohio prescribe that q
Board Of Control be elected at the an
nual election in April, and to consist OF
live members to hold their office for three
years. Because, however, 1t is not sta
ted in express words, that every three
years thereafter, new Board shall be
elected. it is thought by many persons
that the present Board expires by limi-
tation.
do not think SO, but on the contrary
opine from the indication of the statute,
succession of terms in office, and there
fore that it is your duty to issue the proc
lamation, giving fifteen days. notice.
The section determines two points eX-
pressly: First. that the term OF office tor
each incumbent shall be three years.
Second, in order that there may be no
interruption Of the business of the Board
from any cause whatever, each incum-
bent snail hold over his term until his
successor in office shall be not only
elected, but qualified. Alter the new
member is qualified his attendance at the
Board may he compelled by the provi-
sions of section 2. This OF itself sufii-
ciently provides for the continuance ot
the Board, term alter term.
