The Abandoned Infant.

We are informed that the aban-
doned infant has been discovered to be
the child of a woman named Covarru-
bias, who lives some distance from
where the waif was found. 1t was a
case of heartless desertion, and who
ever was guilty of abandoning it
should be punished severely. We
have heard number of rumors as to
the paternity of the child, but prefer
to wait for further developments.
This would seem to be one of those
cases in which the child will require
great wisdom to know its own father.
Since the above was written we
have learned the name of the man who
left the infant where it was found, ,and
he can have until five o'clock this af-
ternoon to explain his connection with
the affair, after which we shall feel at
liberty to tell what we have heard,
and his name.

THE CAPTURED CL0uD.

The following verses we pilfered from the
album, or scrap-book, of a young lady in this
city. Whether the author caught the inspi-
ration while viewing the clouds that float
around the mountain sides over our own
loved valley, or in some quiet valley in an
other country we know not; but the lines are
so sweet and inspiring, and so accurately de-
scriptive of scenes we have often Witnessed
in this valley, tha at we have resolved 10 dedi-
cate them to Los Angeles valley until The au-
thor shall claim them for another.-EDIroR
HERALD.
A cloud lay low in the valleys breast,
Like n weary bird in its cradle nest;
Its soft, white arms round the valley flung,
While its feet to the meadow streamlet clung.
But 10! ranger West Wind shook the leaves
And loosed the zones of the cloudy sheaves;
Then all unblest by priest or charm,
Bore Off the white cloud on his arm.
Backward the soft ruist stopped and swayed.
Till its snowy robe on the crag was frayed;
And its tears lay thick on the tasseled corn,
The spiders web and the sweet hawthorn. r
Heavenward going, the ravshed mist . Z
Wept as she went, yet softly kissed
Each living thing on the valleys side,
The last goodbye of the mountain bride.
The valley sighed as 1t saw her go,
In her bridal robes of shining snow;
And the streamlet muttered troubled pray'r
That its lost love might be happy there.
Upward, still upward, the toiling cloud
Drew her bridal veil like a funeral shroud
Shrinking away from her bridegrooms clasp
Struggling away from his stalwart grasp.
Upward, still upward she fioated away,
Before Heavens court this injustice to lay;
While the wind whistled shrilly to call her
again,
But whistle and bluster were idle and vain.
The Lord of the Winds heard the sorrowful
tale,
And pitied the mourner so weary and pale;
SO gave her commission as soft summer rain
TO kiss her old love in the valley again.
When he called to shadow who cloaked
her about
With a storm-sultof gray; but still shining
out
Cleaned the hem of her robe the scarf in her
hair
In spite OF the shadows industrious care.
Then the lord set his seal, ctwas radiant
bow,
And SO bid the Summer rain valleyward go;
Down, down, to the heart of the whispering
corn,
And the rivulet close by the blossoming
thorn.

An English Irishman from Massachusetts on
the War Path.

John Mahon went into the Fashion
saloon day before yesterday and an
nounced in loud voice and appropri-
ate gestures that he was an English
Trishman born in Waltham, Mass,
and could annihilate any one who
stood in his way. The bar-keeper, in
the most gentlemanly manner, es-
corted him to the sidewalk and recon-
mended walk toward the suburbs.
He missed his way and brought up
again before the bar of tire Fashion,
and placed himself in hostile atti-
tude, when Officer Charles put in an
appearance and advised him to be
quiet. AS he would not take the ad-
vice the officer took him and provided
for him in the calaboose. Yesterday
morning he was brought up, and OFF,
Ger Charles, being desirous of letting
him off easy, as he had done no actual
damage, only preferred a charge of
disorderly conduct against him. He
denied the charge, when the barkeeper
and others being brought forward, by
their testimony he was adjudged
guilty of lying, and drunk and disor-
derby, and sentenced to SIS fine or it's
equivalent in the chain gang. He is
working it out in the gang.

Eucalyptus Wood.

Hon. A. Mackey on his way 10 the
Centennial as Commissioner from
Queensland, unpacked his exhibition
in San Francisco. He has specimens of
the Eucalyptus wood with him and
what he says will be of special interest
to many of our citizens:
1t will be of much interest to our
gum tree growers to know some of the
uses and qualities of the wood in the
region where it has reached its best
estate. In Australia ship builders get
keels Of blue gum timber 100 feet
long; they also use it extensively for
planking and other parts of the ship.
1t is considered superior to American
rock elm. n test of strength made
between some blue gum, English oak
and Indian teak, showed that the blue
gum carried fourteen pounds weight
more than the oak and seventeen
pounds four ounces more than teak
upon the square inch. 1t is extern
sively used by carpenters for all kinds
Of outdoor work, for fence rails, shafts
and spokes of drays, and a variety of
other purposes. For railroad sleepers
it lasts about nine years. The wood
is of yellowish grey tint, with a
close, straight grain.
Nor is the red gum tree wood of less
value and utility. The specimens
shown by Mr.. Mackey show its quail
tiles clearly. Baron Won Mueller
gives the following careful description
of the wood: 1t is hard, dense wood
with handsome curly, but rather
short grain. 1t is almost entirely free
from the tendency to longitudinal
shrinkage which is the invariable
characteristics of all the other eucal.
yptii. 1t is Of extraordinary endur-
ance under ground, and is, therefore,
highly valued for fence posts, piles
and railway sleepers. 1t is extensive
ly used by shipbuilders for main
sterns, stern posts, inner posts, dead
wood, floor timbers, futtOcks, tran
somes, knight heads, hawse pieces,
cant, stern, quarter, and fashion tim
ber, windlass, bow rails, etc. Itshould
be steamed before it is worked for
planking. Next to the jarrah, from
Western Australia, it is the best wood
for resisting the attacks of the sea
worms and white ants. It's possible
uses are almost too various for emu
meration, as an instance of which it
may be mentioned that it is used with
great advantage and economy for the
bearings of machinery, the cost be-
ing almost nominal as compared with
brass, whilst the material is equally
serviceable and almost indestruetible.
The iron bark gum is another tree
which is now being extensively intro
duced in this State. In Australia 1t
attains height of 100 feet and affords
a valuable timber possessing great
strength and hardness. 1t is largely
employed by wagon builders for
wheels, poles, etc.; by ship builders
for top sides, tree nails, rudder stock,
Delaying pins, etc.; and is also used
by turner's for rough work. 1t is con-
sidered the strongest wood in the col
ony, and is extensively used in under
ground mining work.
AS we said above, these facts are of
great Importance to the eucalyptus
growers of this State. They are the
surety of the valuable Inheritance
which they are preparing for their
children, and the foundation which
they are laying for the future great
ness of the State.

Officer McFadden, meritorious of
ficer, was shot in the leg some time
ago while on duty. A few days ago
a druggist brought suit against the of
ficer for one dollar and twenty-five
cents for sponges used at the time his
wound was examined. The officer has
never yet been able to find out who
got the sponges or who used them,
and consequently declines to pay for
them. 1t is to be hoped the druggist
will find out something about it, as
the loss of one twenty five will be hard

The Servian War.

NrENA, July ..
Several of yesterday evenings journals
state that Turkey is about to issue a crcu-
lar to the great powers throwing the entire
responsibility of the war upon Servla and
declaring Prince Melan rebel because he
seeded from the union of vassals. The
following is a Geographic extract from the
Servian manifesto. 1t commences by de-
scribipg the insupportable condition in
which Servia has been placed since the out
break of the Instruction, and continues ::
Serva has done nothing whatever to him
der the work of pacificetion whilst on the
other band Turkey has surrounded Servis
with belt of iron. 1t is impossible. there
fore, to remain longer within the bonds Of
moderation, and the porte is responsible
for any eventual bloodshed. The Montepe.
grins will be on our side, and 1t will not b,
long before the Herzegovians, Bosnia, Bull
grean, and the Greeks cooperate with us.
Prince Milan concludes his manifesto by
exhorting his troops to reepect the frontier
Of Austria, which, he says, has claims upon
their gratitude because of the benevolent
protection extended to their Herzegovinese
brethren.
