Another Failure.
Showing the Comanches Pictures.

To-day have been busy showing

doscope and stereoscopic views. l
have been much surprised as well as
amused at the effect produced by the
exhibition of the latter. AS body
the Indians of this country who have
never been East, and as a'consequence
have seen but a few white people, are
disposed to disbelieve the accounts
they receive respecting their numbers,
the magnitude of their towns and
cities and the extent of the country
they occupy. They believe that their
own people who have been East have
been duped by some kind of sorcery,
or as they say, "medicine..' They
also think it is impossible TO make an
imaginary picture. Hence a picture
is to them "proof positive" of the ex-
istence Of the original. Consequently
my exhibiting towns, buildings, rur-
al scenes and soldiers has had q most
convincing effect.
This was much heightened by hav-
ing some mountain scenes from Colo
RADIO. familiar to them and which they
recognized at once. This was, in fact,
the strongest adducible evidence that
the acconnts they have received were
SO far from being exaggerations that
the half had not been told them.
One middle-aged man, who has al
ways treated these reports with the
utmost skepticism, was particularly
struck with them. He could not suf-
! ficiently express his surprise, but beat
upon his mouth in utter astonishment.
Sun Boy, who had often told him
what he saw in the East, would say to
him in Kiowa: "What you think now?
You think all lie now? You think all
chiefs who have been to Washington
fools now?n
Again and again would he look them
over, with his hand upon his mouth,
dumb with amaZement. After he had
looked them over several times, being
a war chief, he called in his warriors
and exhibited the pictures to them,
talking to them all the time. could
understand but part, yet could gath
er such expressions as these: "Look /!

eve are fools. We don't know any
thing. We are just like wolves run
ming wild on the plains" Such an eff
feet on the war chiefs and warriors
cannot but be very salutary, and must
conduce much toward deterring them
from going on the war path against
such a "mighty, powerful people," L
could but wish thata good stereoscepe,
with suitable pictures, could be exhib-
tied in every Indian campin the land.

0urrFriends.

From the day on which the Amer
lean Flag was first thrown to the
Southern California breeze the people
of Los Angeles have been distinguish
ed for their hospitality, generosity and
friendship. aThey are not prone to
toadyism nor are they demonstrative
in their attentions, but when they
once know men and know them to be
honest and honorable, they extend
the hand of fellowship and admit them
on the most perfect terms of equality.
This has been and we hope will con-
tinue to be the reputation of Los An
geles, but we shall jeopardize our good
name and fame if our discriminating
powers so far fail us that we cannot
recognize, as friends, those who done
us service from which we have derived
almost incalculable advantage No
fair minded man will deny that the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company
has doubled the wealth of Los Ange.
les county, and we cannot deny that
it is doing more in the way of adding
to our wealth and Importance each
day than all the other corporations
operating in this part of the State,
yet we have among us those who re-
gard and speak of this great benefac-
tor as though it was an enemy whose
presence is to be dreaded and whose
withdrawal from amongus would be
cause for public rejoicing. The South
ern Pacific are giving us communica-
tion by rail with San Francisco, over
five hundred miles of track, which
they are building with rapidity that
no other corporation in the Union has
the power or disposition to equal. 1t
is pushing its road Eastward from
this city, and in few months the To-
comotive whistle will be heard on the
West bank of the Colorado river thus
tapping and bringing to our door the
vast trade of Arizona Territory.
1t thus makes us the objective point
of vast commercial business. With
out national aid it offers us almost i'm
mediate connection with the Eastern
side of the continent, over the thirty
second parallel, making US master of
the situation. Yet we are rewarding
the service the Southern Pacific has
done us, injuring their credit and re-
tarding their labor by tai king up COM
petitive roads that we here at home
know will never exist except on pa.
per. The HERALD has in view but
the single purpose of advancing the
interests of Los Angeles and of South
ern California; and it cannot do this
more effectually at this time than by
warning the people of this city and
valley against the danger of deserting
those who have and are building us
railroads, for those whose roads are
only built on paper. Talk, blow and
buncomb cost nothing. Fix a day for
the men who are now talking compe-
tition railroad to pay $1,000 each to-
wards giving us railroad with the
Union Pacific, and our word for it a
great many of them will have busi-
ness out of town on that day. If we
will butremember that it takes money
millions ofmoney--to build railroads,
we shall realize the absurdity of the
proposition which few Missionaries
are endeavoring to set. before us as an
easy and practical undertaking.

The wine interest in this State is
rapidly progressing forward toward
the front rank of our Industries. Los
Angeles, Sonoma and Napa are at
present the three great wine-growing
counties of the State. The product in
Sonoma alone (Which ranks second on
ly to Los Angeles) last year was near
ly 1000, 900 gallons; that of the entire
State did not fall far short of 5000, 900.
The variety in our California vintages
is almost infinite. The quality of the
wine is steadily improving, as more
skill and care are concentrated in the
business, and the time is not far dis
tant when the fame of our California
wines will have been blown abroad
all over the bibulous and convivial
communities of the earth.-S. f.

does so under protest, while the tears
trickle down his cheeks, and his coun-

A Toy Balloon Raises a Panic
A few evenings ago, among the passen-
gers who returned to Easton from the Gem
tennial, were number OF ladies from that
place. one of whom had purchased good
sized toy balloon. An Esston paper says
"When she alighted from the train at this
place the crowd was so great that she wat
jammed in, and another lady was pushed
against the balloon, when it burst with a
loud noise. The lady who had caused the
explosion fell into the arms of companion
aud declared that she had been shot Her
cries attracted the attention OF the male
passengers, who, fearing that some one in
deed had fred pistol, became very much
excited, and for while it was feared that
the rush to get out of the cars would result
In some one getting tiampled under foot.
The cause of the alarm was finally ek-
planned, and the supposed wounded lacy
was escorted to her home without delay"
