Success the Test Of Merit.

or all the standards for testing mer-
it none is more reliable than success.
Success in art, in science, and in busi-
ness Of every nature, implies merit;
and the greater the success the more
extraordinary the merit. These reflec-
tions are occasioned by witnessing the
success attending the peculiar treat
ment Of specific diseases by the emf.
nent physician and surgeon, DIR.
Aborn. A visit to his rooms, which
are filled almost constantly by pa
tients, will furnish proof that his mode
Of treatment is not only popular, but
that 1t is peculiarly efficacious.
The Doctors skill IN speedily 81
ting at the diagnosis of disease, and
the confident manner in which he
treats his patients, unmistakably in
dicate that he is scientific and eXpe-
rienced practitioner. His pretensions
are backed by solid requirements, and
the volume Of certificates of skill, ac-
quired during his short residence in
this city, is sufficiently potential to
prove him an able and accomplished
physician and surgeon. Few, if any,
men of his profession have been SO
uniformly successful in their practice.
The testimony in favor of his mode of
treatment for diseases of the eye and
ear, catarrh, and diseases of the throat
and chest, is so overwhelming that all
that will follow will only be cumula-
tive. His reputation is sufficiently
established, and it is extending rap
idly to remote towns and cities, as is
evidenced by the arrival of large
number of patients from distance.

The White House.

Strobridge the ne W proprietor Of the
White House has made a wonderful
improvement in that popular lodging
house. These improvements have been
done in the most modern style, and
with the cooperation OF Mr.. Schu-
macher the landlord. The first act of
Mr.. Strobridge after getting the house
was to give Messrs. Dotter and Brad
ley a carte blanche for Brussels car
pets, marble chamber sets and elegant
parlor furniture, which decked the
White House out from the bridal
chamber to the lodging rooms. At
present there is no house in the city
more elegantly furnished and no rooms
more comfortable or better ventilated
Everything is as complete as paper,
paint and furniture can make it.
Single rooms or suits can be rented at
q reasonable figure and If board is
wanted there is a commodious dining
room where the delicacies of the sea-
son are served up at each meal. We can
heartily recommend the White House
and Strobridge, its proprietor to all
needing hotel.

CREED.

believe; IL / should die. 49,
And you should kiss my eyelids when lie
Cold, dead and dumb TO all the world con-

And from its exile in the Isles of Death,
Life would come gladly back along my

Ibelieve, If / were dead,
And you upon my lifeless heart should tread
Not knowing what the poor clod chanced
to be,
1t would find sudden pulse beneath the
OF him 1t ever loved in life so much,
And throb again, warm, tender. true to
thee.
Ibelieve, II on my grave
Hidden In woody deeps, or by the wave,
Your eyes should drop some warm tears of
regret,
From every salty seed of your deep grief,
Some fair. sweet blossom would leap into
leaf,
To prove death could not make my love
forget.
believe, III should fade 4
Into those mystic realms where life Is made,
And you should long once more my face to
would come forth upon the hills of night,
And gather stars like faggots, till thy sight,
Lsd by their beacon blaze, fell full on me.
Strong as my life, so nobly placed to be,
would as soon expect to see the sun
Fall like dead king from his heights sub
lime,
His glory stricken from the throne Of Time,
As thee unworth the worship thou hast
won.
l believe who hath not loved,
Hath half the treasure OF his life improved,
Like one who, with the grape within his
grasp,
Drops It, with all its crimson juice Impressed
And all It's luscious sweetness left unguess-
ed,
Out from his careless and unheedlng clasp.
I believe love, pure and true,
Is to the soul sweet, immortal dew,
That gems lifes petals in its hours of dusk !;
That waiting angels see and recognize
The rich crownjewel, Love, of Paradise,
When life falls from us like II withered
husk.

The Main Street Sewer.

The following protest of property
owners against being taxed for the
Main street sewer was filed at the
City Council meeting on Thursday
evening:
To the Honorable the Common Council
of the City of Los angeles:
The undersigned citizens and prop
erty owners OH Main street would re-
spectfully represent that they consider
that they are not properly treated by
| being required to construct sewer,
which must be considered main
sewer, and must be the conduit itthrough
which large portion of the city will
| be drained. 1t has now double the ca
pacity of what is called a main sewer
in Los Angeles street, and which was
constructed at the expense of the city
at large, and with which the most val
liable property on Main street is now
connected and at great expense to in
dividual owners.
They would also respectfully repre-
sent that the price paid for this sewer
is fifty per cent greater than the bids
made by other competent parties, by
reason of your honorable body requir-
ing what we consider eXtravagant
bonds, when smaller bonds for the
work, block per block, would fully
protect the interest of the city.
AS the work is now done-hastily
put together in green mortar-it is
Immediately covered up with twelve
or fourteen feet of damp earth. SO that
| there is no possible means of ascer-
tanning its durability, soundness or
workmanship.
The taxation falling on the citizens
| Of Les Angeles for State, county and
city purposes, with additional extra
levies for school purposes, will approx
| innate four per cent, a serious cause in
itself to alarm our citizens already
here and to those who desire to fix
their destiny with us. The citizens
on Main street, with grades and sew
ers proposed, in year of scarcity and
depression, look. on as If confiscation
were contemplated.
Your honorable body are respectfully
solicited to grant relief, as you have
the power to either levy al assessment
| on all properties benefited by this
sewer, or let the city pay one-half the
cost of its construction.
Connections have already been made
from the summit Of the hills West Of
Main street and must necessarily con-
meet with the sewer We are called on
to construct at our own expense.
Therefore, in consideration Of the
reasons above set forth, we do respect
fully ask for relief and protection at
vour an1s and a n N dutv bOupI wi1 |
ever pray.

A sad accident occurred in Santa
Monica last evening. AS the stage
was turning the corner of street,
William Geller Jr., son of DR.. VIM.
Geller of the Monte and brother-in-
law of H. II. Hazard of this city was
thrown from the top and instantly
killed.
LATER.-The above Is the first story.
The second, which we get from Mr.. ].
J. Reynolds, who was near the scene
of the accident at the time Of its oc-
currence and received his facts from a
passenger by the stage, places differ
ent and more hopeful phase on the
matter. The accident occurred two
miles from Santa Monica. The team
six horses-were frightened by the
locomotive and ran away. The coach
ran against a telegraph pole and was
upset, catching young Geller under it..
He was not instantly killed. He was
not dead, at last accounts, and 1t Is
hoped he is not fatally injured. The
driver of the stage, Mr.. Harper, was
also slightly injured.

Clerk, who, being sworn, deposeth and
says:
have been deaf in my left ear for
nearly two years; could not hear 10.
comotive whistle when close to il; I
think my deafness was caused by ex-
posure in sleeping out at night while
teaming; have frequently heard of DR..
Aborn's great success in the treat
meDt of such cases; | had been endea-
voring to make arrangements to visit
him at San Francisco for the purpose
of placing myself under his treatment;
l finally made arrangements to visit
San Francisco the last of October, but
fortunately for ME the Doctor arrived
in Los Angeles about one week ago; l
called on the Doctor at the Backman
house yesterday and submitted myself
to his treatment, and to my great joy
and surprise he has, within twenty
four hours, restored my hearing,
80 that l can now hear distinctly con-
versation across a large room; l can
hear an ordinary watch tick quite a
distance faom the ear; my hearing
has been so suddenly restored that the
noise of wagons and the hustle on the
streets seem to me unpleasant at first,
as would naturally be expected after
having been totally deaf so long; DIR.
Aborn's operations caused no pain or
unpleasant feeling whatever; Major
Hancock, Andrew Joughin, black
smith on Also street, Mr.. Smith, ,coh-
tractor OH the l.. A. & I. railroad and
the overseer of that road, and hum
dred or more other persons in Los An
geles know how sadly was afflicted
with deafness; hoping that the publi-
cation of the facts concerning my case
may be the means of informing others
where they can be cured, is my sole
object in giving this testimonial; I
make my home in Los Angeles, and
am engaged now in teaming across
the river; my business is teaming; |
am now grading across the river.

Anecdofe Of a Bereaved Husband.

A distinguished Ex-Governor of
Ohio, famous for story. telling, relates
that on one occasion, while addressing
q temperance meeting at Georgetown,
District of Columbia, and depicting
the misery caused by indulging too
frequently in the flowing bowl, his
attention was attracted by the sobs of
a disconsolate and seedy-looking indi-
vidual in the rear part of the room. On
going to the person and interrogating
him, he was told the usual tale of woe;
among other sad incidents that during
his career of vice he had buried three
wives. The Governor, sympathized
deeply with the inebriate, and consol-
ed him as much as was in his power.
Said he: "The Lord has indeed affiict-
ed you" "The mournersobbingly re-
plied;" Yes, yes, he has" and paus-
ing a moment, and wiping his nose,
he continued: "Rut l don't think the
Lord got much ahead of me, for as fast
as he took one away / took another"

Dress-making, on Spring street, oppo-

cits the patronage of the ladies of this
city. As he cuts only by regular sys-
em-of a tailor, he is able to give the
very best satisfaction. He will also
give lessons in cutting and fitting
without model or chart, and as this is
certainly the best system of fitting a
dress or learning the trade, the ladies
will do well to give him a call.

GEN. Buffers SUMNER HoME.-Il is built ex
pressy for the summer nd the sea, and stands
on an immense cliff of Massacl usetts bay,
some half dozen miles from the fishing town
of Gloucester. In front of it slopes to the sea a
vast lawn, out of which here and there messy
bit of the old rock-ribbed earth pcturesquely
protrudes and lovely little island, all soft
russets and grays, lies as if moored at the foot
the lawn. The house is a large cottage of dark
red and of gray granite, with a piazza around
it upheld by shafts Of the undressed stone, and
on a huge block of granite stands the GRASS tel
escope that sweeps the bay when the yacht
| "Amercan" has her sails spread. Inside, two
thirds of the lower floor of the house-there be
ing countless rooms above-are in one great
room, a staircase, dining-room and little writ
ing room occupying the other third, while the
kitchens and offices are in separate building
connected by covered passages. The whole
| house is finished in oak, and the floors, beneath
| their India mats are inlaid aud waxed to a
| polish like glass. This vast room is an exqui
sitely perfect thing, and in ii the ideal of gay
| and careless, cheerful summer life can be led
| Ivies climbed up the delicatclY tinted walls
and all about the cornices.; in a panel, at one
| end of it, vase of wild flowers is frescoed

flowers. There is great piano unier one oil

chairs, and stands in white wicker, with brigh
colored blankets and cushions in the centre

hangs above huge round table, carved from
the East India teak, black as ebony, with ele
phantine curves and oriental leaf shapes; the

So, comrades this is DEATH Well deaths friend.
You only whispered, but Iheard "Jim's done"
Life's been most dreadful tangled; here's an end,
And I'm lucky one.
So catch the thread without longer fight;
God only judged us cording to our light;
rll take my chance-perhaps He'll lead the way
And let the angels pass the time o. day.
Curious. I've been so'puzzled. When fell
/ did not feel single bit of fear,
Though the dark mine became glitterng cell
And heaven looked very near.
Ahl dying is not much. always knew
Since was but working lad, SO high,
That living the hardest of the two.
But still-I'm feard the little chaps will cry;
They'll miss me, when they watch you going by.
You see, the little chaps was mighty nice
They loved me so; that kept my thinking white
And miners grim is wholesomer than vice
I've tried to teach them right
Who II see to them ? Their mothers dead, you know
used to think God had grudge against me;
But now-the thread has got untangled so,
guess He knows. The little chaps will be
His care. But still Pm feard they'll cry for me.
So, breath comes shorter Comrades, lift me higher
Pm glad the parson taught me how to read;
And he said, Goods peace shall crown desire"
did not like much heed;
But now it seems all written out in light
Suffer? Oh, no J. the parsons words were wise.
Something-what is it ?--seems TO blind my sight;
l thought, moment, that it was Gods eyes.
Don't touch me- Hush rse-and rise-and rise.
