From the Gazette]

The Los Angeles and San Bernar-
dino Land Company are about to lay
off two sections of land into town lots.
The site is near Costa Station, about
five miles from Anaheim. 1t is prob
able that the new metropolis will be
named Northam.
Mr.. Hansen, the gentlemanly con-
ductor on the Anaheim Branch, is the
messenger of Wells, Fargo & Co., and
can be relied on to transact business in
Los Angeles with accuracy and atten-
tion at a very small charge. He has
access to the banks in the afternoon,
and will transact any banking busi-
ness.
A company is being formed for the
purpose of erecting fine hotel, of suf-
iicient capacity to meet the wants of
the public in this prosperous section
for some time to come. 1t was at first
the intention to build it on the west
side of Los Angeles street, opposite the
Presbyterian Church, but being unable
to procure the necessary land for the
purpose, the company talk of building
on Center street short distance from
the railroad depot, if they can procure
a suitable site. We will be able to
obtain the full particulars of this en-
terprise in few days.
1t will be remembered that a few
days ago a shock like that of an earth
quake was felt 1t wasn't an earth
quake, however, but merely the con-
cussion of the atmosphere produced by
the rapid descent from a high altitude
of the four-year-old son of AL. Stein
hart. He was playing on the porch of
Phil. Davis house, when he toppled
over and fell distance of eighteen feet
to the ground, the only damage being
the loss of some skin from his little
nose. 1t was some time before his
parents could ascertain from him the
cause of his damaged probocis, as he
dreaded that his escapade would get
him licking. He didn't get it.

unwslcOms Information.

EDITOR HERALD: 1t is an old and
well known adage that gratuitous in
formation is not well received. Per-
sons who have sacraficed everything
to the hurricane sweep of their own
unbridled passions, come, when too
late, to conclude that any price would
be paid for immunity from disease and
consequent dissolution. But the only
bank on which they might draw with
hope of their drafts being honored has
been depleted; their vitality has been
squandered, and Nature, the chief
cashier, does not know the needy ap-
plicant. We pay fabulous sums to
employ valient knights, who, mounted
on their fancy steeds, make feints of
charging down upon error, while they
are secretly scattering the seeds of
disorder. Why? Simply that under
the abnormal conditions, disorders are
the. best paying crops to cultivate.
The temper must be drawn from the
human steel in order to make it sub
servient. All the back bone, all the
moral stamina, it is an absolute ne
cesslty for the tyrannically inclined to
annihllate. How better can this be
done than to encourage and foster the
use of narcotics and stimulants that
unfailingly deplete the vital sum ?
"Oh, L would rather enjoy myself
| ha RI hn ato
depriving myself of these indul-
tea, coffee, alcohol, drugs, etc. And,
OF course, they will never be taught a
better policy, SO long as the weighty
influences of damnable rings AID mo-
nopOlists are on the side of their con-
stant use. How else could the whole
world be kept in subiection, if it were
not 10y the potent assistance of these
enervating habits that come TO be
second nature and are transmitted
from one generation to another? Once
admit the entering wedge of these
heresies against the universal indul-
gencies, and "Othello's occupations
gone. My doughty knight, that now
amuses himself and the unthinking
crowd by charging hither and thither
at errors of his own creation, would
have to dismouut and harness his
steed to cart or plough to earn his own
bread, if the "dear people" were once
educated in the fundamental laws of
health of body and mind. Therefore,
by all means, let us suppress these
meddlesome emancipationists who are
constantly annoying us with their

That 0dious Word, "Uncertain."

The San Diego Union is peculiarly
sensitive now since the last misfortune
of the Texas Pacific Railroad Bill, and
comes after us like an aggravated ta-
rantula, in this fashion:
The Los Angeles HERALD is in a
witty vein, and forecasts the future of
San Diego in one word-'uncertain. y
Let us see: In 1870 this county had
about 1000 population; assessed valu-
alton, about $l,000,000; bee ranches,
none; farms, none to speak of; mines,
none opened; the town, just beginning
to be built. In 1875, population over
10000; assessed valuation over three
millions; honey export last year,
nearly 100000 pounds; wool export
over 100000 pounds; wheat produc-
ton, 100000 centals, etc., etc.; town
with permanent Improvements that
will compare well with anything Los
Angeles has to show and public build
ings that Los Angeles cannot begin to
equal; and a people who have no such
word as uncertain in their vocabu-
larry.
But perhaps the HERALD is witty
at the expense of our railroad pros
poets. We may we'll retort that, if
there is a place in Southern California
whose railroad prospects are "uncer-
tainp it is Los Angeles, uncertain,
that is, as to the realization of the an
ticipations of her people. The distress
ing question even now is, "main line,
or branch ?p Los Angeles is unfor
tunately situated in this respect. At
the very best, even on the "main
line,o can be but way station. On
the other hand, San Diego is built upon
the shores of the second harbor in Cal
ifornia, to which the railroads must
come ; and while her people may
have to endure some trial of patience
in waiting for their advent, and her
productive wealth is increasing with
really marvellous rapidity. Here, if
anywhere. in California, the future
may be counted upon with certainty.
The same old tune-"harbor''-
harped to the one thousand and first
variation! Of course San Diego har-
Dor is good-or will be as soon as they
get the sand deposited by the river
scooped out of it. And San Diego
will always he a good shipping point
for local freights, perhaps first-class
town some day. Her people, though
they may not be "uncertain," as the
word goes, are still on the fence di-
viding their faith equally between
Providence and Tom Scott, with a
little hesitation as to which one of
the deities they shall address their
prayers to. The question of "main or
branch lineo for Los Angeles has long
since been settled and fixed in
a contract beyond the disposal
of any railroad company, as shown by
the striking out of the Objectionable
clauses in the Southern Pacific Bill.
Los Angeles will have not one, but
two, main lines, and already has three
branches. Our city will be the focal
point for shipment at three ports
Wilmington, Santa Monica and Bolsa
Chica-either of which will answer for
practical purposes as well as San Di-
| ego harbor. But we do not wish to
| inaugurate a newspaper warfare with
our San Diego neighbors and, besides,
| it is mean to kick man when he is
| down. Perhaps we had better say
that we consider the prospects Of San
Diego certdin--for very good town.
