All Sin was driving his vegetable
wagon on Also street but his thoughts
were far away in the flowery land, no
doubt fixed upon some moon-eyed
damsel, for one of the lines slipped
from his grasp and he knew it not, un-
til, reused by customer, he essayed
to stop his steed by hauling taut the
halyards. Having but one to haul,
the quadruped turned short round, and
the astonished All Sin found himself
and the other vegetables piled in the
street, the wagon on its beam end,
and the horse looking pensively ON
the ruin that had been wrought. The
/ bystanders would have enjoyed the
performance more had there been
about foot of mud.
Mr.. Mathews returned last evening
from Wilmington whittier he went q
couple of days ago to attend to the
shipment of wine from the establish
ment of Don Mateo Keller. He en-
joyed the hospitalities of the people
of that town, which were extended to
him to the utmost. The Captain of
the Alaska not being familiar with
the harbor had to proceed slowly and
with great caution, but got in safely
and took on board large lot of mer-
chandise from this place, among
which were 1900 gallons of wine
from Don Mateo's store, and large
quantity of wine and brandy from the
vineyard of B. ID. Wilson. The Alas
ka did not get off until late hour
last night.
We attended Capt. Tobin's lecture
last night and listened to his thrilling
account of the massacre of the Gunni-
son surveying and exploring party, of
which he was one of the few surviv-
ors, and also of the massacre at Noun
tain Meadows, where he alone lived to
tell the tale. We heard his account
of the fabulous riches contained in the
great inland basin, and must confess
that we have seldom been so much in
terested. The Captain is fluent and
agreeable speaker, and interests his
audience from the beginning to the
end. We commend him to the people
wherever he may go as q gentleman
well worthy of their patronage.
We remember S. G. Foy, the pio-
neer saddle and harness maker, twen-
ty.two years ago. If we remember
rightly he was then the only one. He
| has lived here ever since, and has al
ways kept the lead in -his business.
| COmmendation of his work is in the
| mouths of every one, and in all that
time we have never heard any fault
| found with work turned out of his
shop. To-day he has the finest stock
at his establishment, No. II Los An
| geles street, that can be found in
| Southern California, which he invites
his old customers and new comers to
| examine.
Several eminent clergymen have
| given it as their opinion that if youth
had less catechism and more music
and dancing, society would be more
| in harmony with the teachings of ma
ture. We concur and advise all to
send their children to Prof. Ranseur's
Dancing Academy at Stearns' Hall,
| and have them join the class for young
people which commences Wednesday,
February 9th, or the children's class,
which opens on the 2Sth.
At the Novelty Theatre Miss Addie
Miller made her first appearance last
night and was greeted with an over
flowing house. The Theatre as now
organized presents an array of talent
that would do credit to much larger
establishment. With Addie Miller,
Millie Louie, Hank the Mason, funny
| Brewster and the rest OF the company
which we have not space to mention,
any one can get all the fun necessary
to good digestion.
There was a great sand storm re-
Gently blowing from the Majave des-
ert to and through the TETON pass, COW
ering a ranch at the entrance to the
| TETON from two to four feet deep, and
killing $4,000 head of sheep. Some
twelve or fifteen years ago the same
| sort of storm covered and destroyed
the Leuvre Ranch on this side of the
TETON.
| DIR. Clark has taken rooms at the
Il
Grand Central Hotel where he can be
consulted free of charge by gentlemen
| from 10 A. NJ. to p. NJ, and by ladies
from to 8 p. NJ, and if what we have
heard of his skill be true, no one has
any excuse for indulging in that ex-
quisite luxury, rheumatism. Give
him call. #E

The Chronicle, printed at Clarks-
Vile, Tennessee, having received the
Los Angeles HERALD from our friend
L. Straus, is kind enough to say that
cur city papers are neatly printed and
ably edited. ~
The Grand Central Restaurant, at
tached to the hotel, the greatest con-
venience in town. No matter what
