An Editorial Hit.

To understand the following clever
hit from the Los Angeles Express, the
reader shonld know that Mr.. Bassett
is man of superb physique and per-
feet health, bringing down the scales
from somewhere above two hundred
pounds:
Mr.. ]. M. Bassett, the editor of the
HERALD, goes up to San Francisco on
the Orizaba for two or three weeks
vacation. He has put in year of un-
intermitted editorial labor in Los An
geles, and is certainly entitled to his
pdsedr. We hope he may enjoy his
trip, but we are fearful of the unfavor-
able impression as to the effects of the
Los Angeles climate his attenuated
and enfeebled physique may produce
upon the minds of his old cOmpadres
of the San Francisco press. We can
assure them, for all that, that men
generally become robust here. 1t is
his excessive addiction to smoking
and severe intellectual labors, aud not
the climate, that has done the busi-
ness for Mr.. B.!
We agree with the Express in the
praise awarded Mr.. Bassett for good
service done in the editorial chair. He
is one of the strong men of the coast,
has grit and pluck, and his work is of
advantage to the State.-Santo Bar
6Grd Press.

Trespass and Gunpowder.

A shooting affray occurred on Thurs
day evening, about five miles South
of the city, in which a ranchman
named Connolly received a severe
wound. The report of the affair
comes from one Wetzel, neighbor of
the wounded man, who did the shoot
ing, and fair degree of allowance
must.be made for its being one side of
the story. 1t seems that Connolly
was returning from the city with his
team in the afternoon and in making
a short cut to his place, drove across
field of growing wheat belonging to
Wetzel The latter took. him to task
for his careless or malicious act and
hot war of words followed, Connolly
growing excited and angry drew a re-
volver and attempted to shoot his
neighbor, but the weapon failed to
operate. After the second trial, the
man Jumped from his wagon and
leveled his revolver for the third
time, when Wetzel took good aim
with a rifle which he had with him
and shot his opponent. The ball took
effect in the right hand and lacerated
it badly. DR.. Widney was called as
soon as possible and attended to the
wound. Wetzel came to the city and
delivered himself up to the authori-
ties. A hearing was had before Judge
Gray yesterday morning and the de-
fendant, waving an examination, was
bound over in the sum of ST 500 to APP
pear before the Grand Jury. Con-
molly, the wounded man, was unable
to come to the city and give his testi-
mony. An investigation may there
fore throw quite different light on
the matter, but meanwhile Wetzel
must remain free from censure, as the
story goes.

Almost a Tragedy.

They came near having a domestic
tragedy In Council Bluffs, Iowa, a few
nights ago. A citizen of that place,
being called out of town by urgent
business, bid tender farewell to his
wife and babe and started out. His
mission was accomplished sooner than
he anticipated, and taking the even
ing train he arrived home about mid
night. Going to his house he quietly
let himself in with latch key and
silently went up stairs. The gas was
burning low, but there was light
enough for him to distinguish two
forms in bed, where, according to his
logic, but one should be. Though half
crazed by the sight, some remnants of
GOODNESS remained, and he withdrew
to secure a witness to substantiate the
statements he would be compelled to
make. After weary search he found
policeman and, returning to the
house, stationed him at the foot of the
bed. A motion of his finger, and the
gas blazed at full head, and therein
the place where he only OF all men
had right to be-the agonized bus
band saw his mother-in-law!

Sam Collins Benefit.

Turn-Verein Hall was again filled
last night, for the fifth time since the
commencement of the Alleghanians'
engagement in our city, and the funny
Sam Collins took benefit worth the
having. The character of the enter
tainments given by this extraordinary
troupe has already been commented
upon pretty freely, and there is moth
ing new that we can say about last
nights affair, only that there was lots
of Sam in it and the audience clam
ored for more. The beneficiary can
well congratulate himself upon the
hearty reception aud mark of good
will which the people of Los Angeles
have accorded him. There will be a
matinee this afternoon for the benefit
of the public school library, and to-
night the last entertainment of the
company in our city will be given.

Dismal People.

There are many people who take a
strange delight in being dismal. Some
of them are so selfish that nothing is
ever right, because they imagine they
ought to have something extraordin-
ary in the way of luck. A few are i'll
tempered and adopt the dismal line on
purpose to spite those who live with
them, being we'll assured that this is
the most effectual way of so doing.
But the majority of the dismals are
good people (er, at least, people who
want to be gOOdD and they appear to
be dismal strictly on conscientious
grounds. If they put their feelings
into words, they would probably say
something of this sort: "This world
is made up of sin, sorrow and suffer-
ing. 1t is probation, and we need
not look for anything pleasant until
we pass into the next. We must not
give way to happiness. nor encourage
joy. 1t is true that God gives us the
sunshine and the flowers, but he in
tends that while looking at them we
shall constantly remind ourselves that
the frost will come and the flowers will
die.u
1t seems impossible that such hearts
can love, but perhaps they do 80 after
their own miserable fashion. Every
thing is done for duty and if by chance
in performing this duty, they stumble
upon the doing of anything that is
pleasant, they are sure to spoil the
taste of it.
The question is, what pleasure do
such people find in life The best
thing that mOrtals can do, while pass
ing through this world of sorrow and
pleasure, is to pluck as many roses as
possible. Because of few mishaps in
life, we should not feel disappointed.
We should not expect the doing of
this world to become great pleasure
to us in every respect. We should
grasp for that which is good, noble
and grand to Christian characters.
There are many things which are
that we are apt to take
pleasure in, and because we find it
not, why should we put on a dismal
look and say there is no pleasure? We
should be happy because we cannot
find pleasure there. Seek pleasure
among the noble and distinguished of
earth, and you will find lasting
pleasure which will be true happiness,
and your dismal career will vanish by
Bdft 9es8ieghfRg to gfeateerr diligence;
and, alas, too late we learn that the
Spring-time of our life has fled in
pursuit of shadow. But we turn in
our hour Of affiiction to the promise
of heaven.

Remember, this afternoon benefit of
the Public School Lih.a-s.,~. -,-i--I4
In the evening, positively the Allie
ghanians' last appearance.
The Wilmington Enterprise pays
the following well-merited tribute to
one of the young ladies of our High
School: "Miss Yda Adds seems to be
the "bright, particular star" of Los
Angeles. She is an especial favorite
of the Muses., excels as prose writer,
passed highly creditable examina-
tion for the position of public school
teacher, but was too young to be eligi-
BILE, and now she appears as the cham
pion speller. 1t was an honorable
boast of Madame De Stael that she
could exercise as livelihood fourteen
different occupations. Miss Adds
may yet be able to make similar
boast, which will be something mar
velous in these days of feminine help

Wilmington Items.
[From the Enterprise.l


The improvements about the rail-
road company's new wharf are about
complete, and we think will compare
favorably with any on the coast. The
next step will be to dredge In this
end of the bay as soon as Gen. Boschke
crosses the bar, which will be in afew
months.
The dredger is moving ahead stead
lily, cutting it's way across the bar,
leaving ten feet of water behind at
low tide. 1t is street talk, but we will
not vouch for its truthfulness, that
Lieut.. Sears at his last sounding found
six feet of water at low tide, which is
an increase of half foot within one
month.
Since moving our office to position
where we can see the movements on
the railroad, we are more surprised
than ever at the large shipments.
Day by day long trains, loaded to
their full capacity, pass to and from
Los Angeles. AT noon to-day the
train left with twenty cars, sixteen of
them loaded with lumber. These we
give as small reminder that we are
growing in this valley.
