The facilities for supplying Santa
Human Mater.

There is no better place than the
postoffne to study human nature in
all its phases. There is the individ-
ual who gets letter about once in six
months, but who always struggles to
be first at the window, and who re-
CARDS his solitary letter as a natural
curiosity, turning it over and over
viewing it from an up hill and down
hill standpoint, as if astonished that
be should get one at all; the man
from the country who enquiries for all
the folks at his place; the spruce
clerk who gets dozen letters for
his employer, and looks as wise as if
they were all intended for himself;
the indignant specimen who wonders
why the expected letter hasn't come,
and who holds an earnest colloquy
with the clerk as TO the proba ble cause
of its detention; the bashful young
man, with faint traces of down on his
chin, who expects a letter from his
sweetheart, and who retires in confus-
ion; the big man who treads on his
neighbours corns; the seedy customer
who gets a bill for washing, and tries
to make one think it's a draft; and
the BOBBY who waits on the sidewalk
to see who goes in and who comes out,
are the persons we see daily at the
postoffice. Reader. If you will watch
the postoffice any day about mail
time, you will see the individuals
thus briefly described The clerks
think highly of the young man from
the country who inquiries for the
whole neiehbOrhOOd. and only second
to him is the indignant individual
who fails TO get the letter that The
knows was mailed, day before yestef-
day. These gentlemen are very pop
ular, very Exchange.

Santa Monica Items.
[Fro N the Outlook of the 5th.l

What was an open space around the
Outlook office, five months ago, is
now occupied by over twenty substan-
tal houses.
The oldest inhabitant has never
seen more luXuriant grasses than
those which now carpet the hills and
plains around Santa Monica.
So far the Santa Monica Land Com
pany have sold about 1000 town 10 $,
and over 80 five-acre "Villa FARM
tracts of land,
The weather at present is most de-
lightful-neither hot or cold. The
murcury during the past week has
ranged from so to 73 degrees.
Business on the railroad from Santa
Monica to Los Angeles has gradually
increased ever since the first train
passed over the track.
Within the past few months, two
churches Methodist and Presbyterian
have been built in Santa Monica.
Two others-Episcopal and Catholic
are talked of.
No locality is more healthy than
Santa Monica. There have been but
five deaths since the town was estab-
lished. Two lost their lives by acci-
dent, one came here an Invalid, and
the other two Were twin children, who
died few hours after birth.
We are creditably informed ths all
the ships of the new line, belonging
to the "Panama Transit Company"
will touch regularly at Santa Moni-
ca, both ways. Two ships are now on
their way around Cape Horn, for the
line between San Francisco and Pana-
ma.
Santa Monica, unlike most small
towns, has for the past six months en-
joyed metropolitan advantages, as re-
CARDS its mail facilities. The railroad
Company have been especially accom-
modating in securing to our citizens
the benefits of daily mail.
A census taken the other day in
Santa Monica shows that there are
between 800 and 900 inhabitants.
There are 1l6 school children betwe ell
the ages of five and eighteen. The
Chinese number l6-fourteen men and
two women; gentlemen of color three.
Messrs. o. H. Lee, S. Sturges. B.
Sturges and Il. ID. Sturges, capitalists,
largely interested in Chicago elevators
spent several days here last week.
These gentlemen, after a general in
spection of the locality, pronounced
Santa Monica far ahead of any of the
Atlantic Summer resorts, insofar as
natural advantages are concerned.
Samuel G. Hough, of this place, re-
ceived letter yesterday from w w.
Walby, ex-Mayor, and leading bank
er of Adrian, Michigan, wha is now in
Jacksonville, Florida. After eompar-
ing notes upon that popular resort aud
southern California, Mr. ". decides
III favor OF ihr lattvr ami writes that
he will start for this section in short
time, with the intention of purchas-
ing property aad locatidg permanent
ly.
The facilities for supplying Santa
Monica with water will be very COM
plete when finished. Two large reser-
voirs holding at least one million gall
Ions of water and supplied by excel
lent springs, have been constructed.
A large main pipe already conveys the
water into town, and branch pipe
has been laid through the length of
one street. The pipes have been or
dered, and as soon as they arrive, wa
ter will be conducted upon the prem-
ises of all who wish it. There are also
a number of wells, which furnish a
large supply of water.

METEOROLOGICAL REPORT
FOR july 1875.

This month has not been as favora-
BILE as the preceding one, although
about the middle of the month we had pretty
frequent showers of rain, but no heavy
ones.
The wind has been very ~ehangeablo,
scarcely keeping the same direction for
one or two days and veering between
N. E., E. and S. E., not giving more rain
in the one direction than in the other.
The average heat of the atmosphere
has been considerably higher this year
than last, viz. 27.o9 and 27.o4, and even
the nights have been very warm, the
average difference between the maximums
and minimums-t thermometers being only
SOY, the greatest 7.06, the smallest 3o,7.
The air became dryer and dryer towards
the middle of the month, when it was
very dry and hot, but later it again
became moister. The average has however
been 1oo lower than last year.

VednesdoH august 1911 1876.

Monday last the Colonial Council held
an Extraordinary Meeting, when the End
Discussion on the Draft Of Budget for ST.
Croix for 1867 with Money Bills apper-
tanning thereto came on for 2nd Discus
sion,
The matter had been delayed in Com"
mittoe owing to tao very unfavourable
prospects of the Island, which only OF
late have assumed a brighter aspect, and to
the protracted sickness Of some OF the
Committees Members. The Report Was
now under consideration.
There were no amendments proposed by
the Committee or the Coufcil- Yhe Gov
ernmpnt had introduced two amendments
to the Military Expenses, viz that the
amount for lighting materials be reduced
from 1927 to $44O p. a., and the sum Tor
hire of servants at the Fort and Barracks
be reduced from $500 to $216.
The Committee on the Building Ex-
pen8e8 had rendered its Report and pro.
posed some minor reductions and omissions
in the Estimate of the Buildings Inspector;
it also recommended The proposed repairs
to the building on the barrack premises
used as Telegraph Office. These propo-
sails gave rise to q pr0tracted and some
what warm discussion. The President on
his part urged the inadvisabIeness OF the
Committee proposing reductions in tho
estimated sums, as the Inspectors estl-
mates should be considered more reliable
than calculations from the Committee, and
complained that the Committee never
called the Inspector when examining the
proposed repairs to public buildings. Inc
Committees Members as we'll as other
Members of the Council and the Chairman
argued that it is just the duty Of the Com
mitteo to 90 through the Estimates and
shew what reductions can be made, and
it was contended that the Members of the
Building Committee, in point OF practical
efficiency in ordinary building repairs (glv-
ing the Inspector all credit for proficiency
in building castles and Notifications and
making foe drawings are more reliable
than the Inspector, as they have every
day experience in the price Of labour and
materials. Mr.. Coulter dwelt impressively
on the fact that while in other branches OF
the Administration the accounts generally
shew a less expenditure at times 10 some
items, the expense for repairs to public
buildings always tally to a cent with
the estimates, showing o nicely Of
calculation not credible; he stated thas
application had been made to the
Presidency to cause the appearance
of the Inspector at q particular time at
certain buildings; but he was not there
when the Members came, nor were those
Public Officials whom the Committee had
requested the Government to inform OF
the Committees visit to examine the build
ings at all informed OF that, so that the
Committees Members met no one to give
proper information but had to seek tor

not be impeached. We agree with the

The Democratic leaders deserve credit
for treating this scandal not from a par
tisen but from a national point OF view.
They behaved handsomely yesterday,
and while, Of course, they cannot be ex-
pected to ignore the influence Of such
discoveries on the fall elections. they
acted with dignity and public spirit
about the HOuse and elsewhere. But il
will be no reproach to them il Mt the
proper time they do take care to make
partisan use Of such events, because
they enter properly into the Presiden-
tial canvass. In November the people
are to decide whether they will trust Che
Republicans or tho Democrats with the
government Of the country for the next
four years. But the Republican con
venti6ns have all united to praise Gene
raj Grants Administration as eminently
successful. and the Republican leaders
have not reproached the President for
his association with aud promotion Of
men like Belknap and others now stand
ing before the public In a dubious light.
II is proper that they should be held to
their responsibility aud that, IL the Ad-
ADMINISTRATION they praise and the men
they tolerate and work with, can be
shown to be corrupt and miscellaneous,
this should enter prominently into the
canvass, It ought to be the most promi-
nent question, and II the Democrats are
