Not a "Tract" but Good Residence Lots.

Mr.. Potts writes as follows to the
Republican:
EDITOR REPUBLICAN In your
paper of the 2Sth inst, in local arti
Gle, you refer to the tract advertised
for sale by Mr.. J. w. Potts as being
fine tract, that will soon be surround
ed by pleasant residences and public
buildings. But | would just say to
you that do not advertise a tract of
land for sale, | only offer few scat
tered lots for sale that are already sur
rounded by pleasant residences. There
is not a lot in my advertisement that
is more than 400 yards from pleas
ant residence, and most of them are
less than 400 feet from buildings al
ready erected, and the furthest that
any lot on my list is away from Tenn
pie and Downey Blocks is 960 yards.
In other directions and not half so de-
sirable in position lots 1900 feet off are
selling for from $500 to $500 per lot,
and recognizing the fact that the
strangers in our midst are sensible men
who know the value of lot when
they see it and knowing the opinions
of the older inhabitants of Los Ange-
les in reference to the lots offered for
sale, we are not afraid to offer those
lots to the highest bider and intend to
go on the lots to sell them and give
purchasers a chance to see what they
are buying, as we have no desire to
deceive any one and shall not pay
any one either to puff our lots in the
papers or to bid for us, feeling conf
dent that the lots offered will recon-
mend themselves, and that we can
still live if they don't bring very
high price. All we ask the papors to
do is to let the people know that the
sale is going to take place and where
and when it will occur, and we have
no fears of the result. J. w. PORTS.

TWENTY-SIx YEARS AGO.
Returns OF the first Regular Election
held in Los Angeles County,

We are indebted to Mr.. A. w.
Potts for the perusal of a curious
document which has recently
come to light in the County Clerks
office. 1t is the official return of the
first election held in Los Angeles
county under an established county
government, and dates back to 1850.
Many of the men who figured in that
election are still living and rank
among our most affluent and most re-
spected citizens. We regret that we
cannot give copy of the paper in full
but must confine the matter to brief
summary. 1t is in a neat, old-fash-
ioned hand. about half of it English
and half Spanish, the two languages
being mixed rather indiscriminately
1t seems that there were some 375
votes polled at the election. The
heading is as follows, written in good
English:

Murder near San Gabriel.

A report was brought to this city
yesterday that a sheep-herder, name
unknown, had been foulIy murdered
on the road about three miles this
side of San Gabriel. He was found
about o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
with his throat cut and his bowels
ripped open. The body was conveyed
to Ell Monte, where it was identified
as the person of sheep-herder who
had been in that place few days be-
fore. He had at that time quarrel
with some MeXicans and when he
left was thoroughly armed. The de-
ceased looked to be about 80 years of
age. There is no clue to his name or
identity.

HUMAN INFLUENCE.

How like to human influence is that
secret power that pervades all nature,
forging out her resources; building up her
waste places; weaving, preparing and ar
ranging her variegated and gorgeous appar-
al; wreathing and decking her brow with
paradisical beauty, purity and splendor; or
perverted, it mars her beauty, squanders re-
sources and produces devastation and ruin.
So with human influence that pervades our
MISUNDERSTANDING along the established
channel Of its sympathies, entwining itself
about all Of its conditions, embedding itself
in it's varied interests, While it crops out in
the individual character Of the countless
millions that compose and shareethe condi-
tons OF a common existence. 1T either
builds up character of the shining particles
of truth it finds in circulation and adorns it
with virtue or it works. that destructive
material, falsehood, into it, and covers it
over with vice. AS tho-etetoly 4rov--sndar
the chemical arrangement of natures econo-
my, ofmatter that has been thrown off from
other compositions where it has left its inn
press-is reared UP atom by atom, particle
by particle, until finally it lifts its summit
high up into q grateful cline. In like man
ner with the hidden, though plastic, hand Of
human influence, individual character is
built up of the thoughts, feelings, senti-
ments, and lives of others and thus the lite
of one, is reproduced in the character of an
other, linking them tosa common destiny.
And out of a confluence of these individual
characters, having their expression in the
civil, social, intellectual and moral condi-
tons of life, springs Society in its broadest
sense, which is out the workshop where,
under the supervision of a united influence,
arising from the lives of all, the inner-life
and character of our race is being forged Of
ideas, feelings and sentiments that have
arisen in individual hearts, and that have
been thrown off upon the practical arena OF
life, after leaving their impress upon the
source of their nativity. 1t is here, in the
great treasure-house of Society, that the
youth finds the secret as well as the public
life of men and women translated; some
into obscene attitudes of our humanity,
while others are SO adroitlyr sketched IN
compassionate the literature of the day,
that the u~nsuspecting youth receives them
Us the representatives of truth adorned with
virtues. Sweetest charmers which, alas, are
moral nebula thai will concrete themselves
into q corrupt life and character. Ills here,
that the girl is led, from the simplicity OF
her nature, into the circle of fashionable en-
tertainment, where she becomes s fast at
the expense ofthat which adorns the char
acter of woman. 1t is here that she is
moved around within the giddy circles Of
vanity until she conceives the idea that the
chief excellence of her nature consists in
those superficial trappings found in the
Hashioa-house of Society, and in the poetry.
