The Council met in special session
Yesterday afternoon with Workman
in the chair.
Present, Councilmen Mullasly, Ger

Teed.
\ report of the Committee of En-.
gineers appointed to examine the
East Los Angeles bridge was submit
ted as follows:
To the Honorable, the Common Coua-
Gil Of the City Of Los AngeteS.
GENTLEMEN We, the undersign-
ed, appointed to report upon the street
railroad bridge crossing the river from
near Gerkins' house to East Los An
geles, beg leave to state that we have
examined the bridge now in course of
construction.
We find that it would, in case of a
high flood, endanger the lower part of
the city for the following reasons: The
bridge is diagonal to the direction of
the current, and in case of high water
and Judgments of drifts sufficient to
close or narrow the openings, would
direct the current againt the South
bank of the river, thereby causing the
river to oqerfow the bank. We find
the bridge too low, as in case of much
drifts it would soon fill up. The top
stringer course would, in such case, act
as dam, raising the water above the
level it would tain, if free from such
obstruction.
We object to the encroachment on
the bed Of the river by the earth en-
bankment on the Northeast bank.
Would suggest that the location of
the bridge be established at right an
giles to the direction of the current, or
if diagonal, then the East end of the
bridge should be down below line at
right angles to the current. Would
recommend that the opening be in
creasad to thirty feet, and that the
height of the bridge be Increased at
least three feet above the present
grade. GEORGE HANSEN,
JAS. I. CRAWFORD,
JNo. +. JACKSON.
Report filed.
Mr. Teed moved that $500 be al
lowed the Railroad Company for al
terations made in the bridge.
Mr.. Gerkins amended that the
amount be awarded in warrants paya-
BILE in ten months; also that all
changes in the bridge be made under
the supervision of the City Surveyor;
provided further, that three spans of
thirty feet each be placed in the
bridge at the center of the bed of the
river, and that the grade of such
bridge be raised two feet above the
present established grade. Bridge to
be free for foot passengers. Amend
ment carried.
The City Attorney was instructed
to draft contract in accordance with
the motion.
The City Surveyor reported fence
in the street on Seventh and Spring
streets to the extent of five feet.
The Marshal was instructed to have
fence moved back to line.
Petition of II. Mancho, asking that
nuisance in First street sewer be

the school known as Wilson College,

operation, in charge Of full and COM

81 Being an institution of learning Pc
culiarly belonging to Southern Cali

as possible. Home institutions should
be fostered in preference to foreign

The funeral of the late General
Andres Pico which took place yester-
day afternoon was very largely attend
ed, and was one of the most imposing
ever seen in this city. Our military
companies very much regret that tie
time before the funeral was too short
to allow them to make the necessary
preparations to perform the military
honors they desired. To the remains
of the gallant veteran over fifty car
riages and at least Il hundred sincere
mourners on foot followed him to the
grave. The pail bearers were Gov.
Dowpey, Mayor Beaudry, +. P. +,
Temple, Mr.. r. S. Baker, Gen, Bou-
ton, DR.. McDougall, ME A. +. Coro-
mel and Mr., Frank Sabichi.
Mrs. Starkey, who was before JUS
tice Tratlord yesterday, for using vio-
lent and threatening language, was
acquitted. The good lady is of some
note in Los Angeles, having been inn
plicated in several unfortunate affairs
of the kind. Her attorneys, Messrs.
Myers IL Bell, proved q most excellent
character for her, however, back to the
year one, and it would not have lain
in the hearts of a stone jury to con-
Wet her under the overwhelming vol
umn OF evidence in her favor.
We tasted some lime juice yester-
day at the store of Don Mateo Keller
which was the finest we hav ever seen.
Mathews informs US that they have n
peculiar process by which the juice is
extracted without the bitter taste
common to all that we have seen be-
fore. The full flavor of the lemon or
lime is preserved, and the juice is per-
| tectly clear. We have no doubt it will
find ready sale, and that the owners
of lime groves will yet get well paid
for raising them.
Next Sunday an excursion train
will run to one Of the most favored To-
calities in California. Pomona is sit
uated in one of the healthiest and most
prolific valleys in the world, neither
| the fruit or grain crop ever fails. The
scenery is unsurpassed, and the air is
| so invigorating that invalids are re-
stored to health and strength almost
miraculously. Go on the excursion
whether you contemplate purchasing
property or not, the trip will do any
one ten dollars wolth of good.
There will be regular down. East
clam chowder to-day, at II o'clock at
the Orient saloon. We knew the ar.
tist who makes it over thirty years
ago, and he was famous then for thai
sort ofthing.

THE DARWINIAN THEORY

produce Markets Reuiew)

There can be no doubt that the excel
lent German plan Of levying the duty on
the weight of the raw ROOT has, e.a IN
addition to leaving the manufactures free
to make, what class of Sugar he pleased
given a most powerful stimulus to the
Tapid increase in the sacchariferous power
Of the root. This development has, indeed
been marvellous, for the yield since the
beginning of the century has risen from
/ Der cent. in the mangold, to the present
average yield of sper cent. in German
Beet. and to the production of rich yarie-

gar. In the anne way the purchase OF
French Beetroots according to saccha-
rine strength should by degrees, insensibly
compel the French growers to constantly
increase the yield from their roots. Fhls
can doubtless be done in time by q careful
development, in selecting species of the
Beet which will fall in with their system
OF agriculture, aud at the same time be
rich in sugar. We were much struck o
few years back ut a statement made to US
by a we'll known scientific Austrian Beet
grower and Sugar-manufacturer, lie was
lei to grow his W roots in the fields
round his factory, and by the scientific
application Of mineral manures, and In
reliance on the fact that the Sugar itself
is mainly drawn from the air and the rain,
he was enabled to continue year after year
without resorting to the rotation OF crops.
The roots which were allowed to seed had
their saccharine strength tested in each
case before the seed was gathered, and
those that fell below q certain standard OF
density were rejected. This standard was
tractionalIy raised each year, and the re-
suit was, that the gentleman 10 question.

ly augmented the yield Of Sugar from his
roots, though he grew them. year after
year on the same soil. A similar practical
application Of Darwinian theories will now
be commenced on a great scale ia France.
aud the result in improving the yield OF
Sugar cannot be doubted. Whether the
improvement will enable the Beet to meet
the increasing competition Of the Cane iss
question which can only be decided in the
course Of many years, but one element in
the competition is wanting, for the con-
test is still a one-sided one. Indeed, the
Cane-growers even yet make only the very
slightest attempts at the selection Of inn
proved varieties Of the Cane suited to va
rious soils, at the %prolongation of the crop
season by the choice of varieties ripening
at various times. and so on.

one must feel thankful for the effort that
has been made, and this the more especial
~ because the Neighbouring space, which
was allotted to Turkey is a miserable
blank.-Next comes Spain, whose quarters
stand out distinctly from the surroundings
with a grand and gloomy magnifcenc'.
The visitors who know nothing of SPANS
position in the artistic world, will be
astonished at the beauty of the material,
the freedom Of the drawing, and the
brightness of the coIouring OF the tapestry
exhibited by the young King himself
Opposite to Spain and the absent Russia
Is the magnificent display Of Canada, q
display SO good, so full, so hearty that it
looks uncommonly like the coquettlsh
ad0rnment Of her person which a loving
dumsel makes when about TO be in the
company of her prctendQnt. The beautl-
tul vases, plates, plaques, and dishes
from the great Lambeth pottery are fully
displayed in a | yramIdal showcase with
in.-India hangs enormous carpets OF
those rich neutral colours which are 50
famous.-Opposite to India is Austria,
whose first display is an enormous counter
of plate glass, upon which are arranged
the most lovely objects of every possible
kind in Bohemian crystal. The variety
and beauty Of the objects in amber will
be a source of great attraction.-The Ger
man Empire presents a series OF tall cases,
containing mostly textile fabrics, and the
region of textiles is unbroken until we
come to the display of Bayarian looking
glasses, which do not strike one with
either establishment or admiration. But
Germany has the finest porcelain IN the
Exhibition. The Germans, who had no
reason to hope for a market in America TOR
their porcelain, have sent their very best,
while France, that has dipped at pleasure
in American pocket-books, have sent her
inferior go~ods.-England has the space OPP
posite to Germany. Here. are cases OF
chronometers, stationary, cutlery, laces
etc. ETC., beautiful carved furniture and
reversible billiard tables, which can
be turned by the merest slight of hand IN
to solid oak supper-tables, and EIklng-
ton, the great London jeweIer and silver
smith, displays $780, 600 worth OF goods
The French exhibitions in marble and
bronze are inartistic and homely, but the
superb silks and cut v~elvets of Lyons
will excite much interest, aud they
deserve it, for the colours are delicate
and tender and the fabrics of the first quail
ity. The artificial flowers will be to the
Lady visitors what the real flowers are to
the honey bees, and those who despiso
c6iFons must admire the art with which the
manufacturers reproduce the forms and 81
mulate the colours Of the most gorgeous
blossoms. The furs seem inferior to
those displayed by Canada.-The next
is Belgium, with a great pulpit IN
carved wood, which will create q
sansation.-Holland also makes an
interesting show, especially from her
Colonies.
