Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-11-23


an entertainment that realized all our
ideas of enchantment and fairy land.
The audience sat spellbound while he
manipulated watches, rings and hand
kerchefs in the most mysterious man.
ner The most surprising feat of Herr
mann was having pistol LOADED with
four bullets by one of the audience,
fired at him from distance of twenty
feet and catching the bullets on
plate. We cannot here enumerate the
wonders of the performance, but rec
ommend q general attendance. to-
night.
We clip the following compliment
tary notice from the Independence
Ednsan: The Hon. James De Long
has left us copy of his interesting
pamphlet about Southern California.
We haven't had the pleasure of read
ing it, for some one hooked it, but we
presume it tells all about the Inde-
pendence town site, and gives Charley
Hull the devil, and everybody else the
Judge don't like. The Judge is going
into the real estate agency business
down there, for which he is amply
qualified. The Judges many warm
acquaintances here wish him safe
and speedy return to the sunny and
beautiful Southern California, which
he so happily and beautifully de-
scribes, and earnestly hope that he
may spend the balance of his days In
that lovely land. Au reoOr. Judge. ~
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday
evenings of this week, Professor Her.
mann will introduce to the public Of
this city, the great Spiritualistic me-
dunn Madamoiselle Addie, who by
the aid Of the spirit world, has aston
ished and electrified the large audan-
ces, who have assembled throughout
the world to witness the most extra
ordinary performance. The most
skeptical cannot fail to be convinced
Professor Hermann invites commit
tee of gentlemen from the audience to
examine the cabinet thoroughly and
the stage whereOn it is placed, so as to
convince the audience of the absence
of all stage trickery etc.
Judge De Long has evidently been
making himself felt in Kansas, as the
following extract from the Independ-
ence Kansan shows: "The California
grizzly and Kansas sheep have lain
down together-Tom Yoe and Judge
DeLong are again friendly because
they both hate Burchard more than
they hate each other. Now that Bur-
chard is defeated, we suppose that the
grizzly will make a square meal OF the
sheep one of these days, and after
wards go around picking Toms wool
out of his teeth and telling what poor
eating the old Yoe WAS.
Mr. Tiernan, i'm from the San Fer
nando tunnel, Informs US that shaft
No. got to the tunnel level yesterday
noon, and the men are now drifting in
it from two faces. Last Tuesday there
was an explosion of the boiler Of shaft
No. =, which will set hack the work in
that shaft SOME days. They are now
putting up 4 new boiler and engine.
Shaft No. 3 is down to the level, and
drift work is going on both ways. The
distance from the work i'm the tunnel
to the work in this shaft is about 400
feet.
Our friend, G.. w. Smith, was re-
ceiving the congratulations of his
neighbors yesterday on the birth of a
daughter; weight, 10 pounds; time,
1880 The time refers to the date of
the occurrence yesterday morning, and
is no allusion to speed, though this is
fair time. Mr.. Smith was little eX-

The Jake Wallace troupe will appear
nightly at Merced Theatre. This is
one of the best minstrel and variety
combinations in the country, and will
give series of Ethiopian entertain
ments that will be above reproach.
We expect to sec Merced Theatre
crowded to witness the great special
ties of this Company.
The police force work seven days in
the week, are exposed to bad weather
and forced to risk their lives for $50
per month. The Captain of thechain
gang is only required to be ready to
work in daylight, six days in the
week, and gets $50 per month. Yet
he does not accommodate the public
by keeping the crossings clean.
On Sunday morning at two o'clock
officers Ryan, Cruz and Turner arrest
eel John Murphy in the act Of robhing
the house of Miss Cora Phillips, No.

considerable plumber, but did not get

u walk up to San Quentin.
A fist fight took place on the Fair
Grounds yesterday, but it resulted only
i'm a scratch and black eye. 1t is
hardly worth notice, and We only pub
lish it in hopes of squirting up the
bruisers to a little more ambition i'm
the next encounter, sa that the result
will he worth recording.
The San Bernardino Times hits the
nail on the head after this fashion,:
Don't let your angry passions rise,
because your neighbors advertise, and
draw away the dimes; but boldly do
as they have done, pursue the course
they have begun, and drive away dull
times.
