How a Band Of Brigands Perished.

From the 1cs Angeles Herald.
Away back in 1850 or 1881 g Young
man named Irwin made mis- appearance
in the old city of the angels. He was
1ull OF oaths, and was accompanied bv
fifteen or sixteen young blades like him
self. One of his virtues was frankness.
He announced that he and his followers
were en- route to Mexico, and that their
GRAND was to rob. Don Benito Wilson
was at that time in business in Los Ange-
les. He witnessed the advent of this law
less band with considerable disquiet, as
he had large stock of goods in store,
and was not entirely resigned to its loss.
Irwin: the leader Of the band, however,
sought his acquaintance. The brigand
proved to be young lawyer, of a good
New York family, and very accom-
pllshed and fascinating fellow withal.
He told Don Benito that he need not be
alarmed; that he intended to reserve his
lawlcss operations for the Mexican people
and on these terms his intimacy could not
we'll be rejected. At this time the min
ing excitement had called most of the
male Los Angclenos away, and the
polished and handsome Irwin had every.
tAlnS Ills own way.
Irwin and his confederatcs concluded
after some weeks, that the time had come
1or their departure on their maraudina
expedition. On their passage to San
Bernardlno the menada Of Lugo attracted
their attention. They coveted number
of fine horses and summarily appropria.
ted them. This act wasssdcstined to cut
short what might have proved to be q
long and prosperous career of crime
Lugo was man fertile in resources. The
Dieguino or Cahuilla tribe of Indians were
at that time pretty numerous about San
Bernardino. They were approached by
Lugo, who proposed to them that they
should lie in the ambush for the robbers
as they rode through the San Timotec
canon. The Indians consented.
The last day of the bands stay in San
Bernardino had arrived. They celebra
ted it by an orgie of uncxampled.. abandon
during the night. With brain stupcfed
with aguardicntc, they failed to pay heed
to the dusky abori gines who we're scat
tered around the town,
The adventurers' road lay along what
is now one Of the most charm.
ing regions of southern California
aligned as it is by the peach trees and
orange groves of the Van Lcuvens and
other prosperous proprietors. Out
through where old San Bernardino stands
they made their way, striking the San
Iimotco canon, through which now dash
| the trains of the Southern Pacific. With
out thought of earthly i'll the road
under the guidance Of an Indian. They
soon reached a narrow portion of they road
way, overgrown with chaparral, sage
brush, and cactus. Many a brain wa:

complaining martyrdom, and, besides,
may be mistaken for stupidity, which 8
fatal to the listeners hope and object.
One may be as stupid as an owl in society,"
but bis listeners must disguise his stupid
ity if they would be accepted; and, above
all, never indicate or intimate to any body
that the speaker has any possibility of
stupidity. We can be dullness and COM
monplace itself with impunity, provided
we seem to think we'll Of our acquaintan-
ces. We may be insignificant, and yet
bear reputation for individuality, clever
ness, and character, so long as we assume
prejudices in favor Of our neighbors.
And by listening patiently, earnestly, and
pleasantly to whoever addresses us, even
when we find nothing in the discourse
that is new and entertaining, we may be
certain Of securing friends, since in so do
ing we silently compliment others, and
repress whatever savors Of egotism.
Our listening must be an art, in order to
be effective; for, unless we make it an art,
we shall often be tempted to betray bore
dom, and yield to the temptation. We
must listen on principle, and try to be
interested even when we are not. We
shall be surprised at the result Of such
earnest and selt-denying continuance.
What may be artificial and disagreeable
at first will become, after while, natural
and welcome. We shall discover in our
acquaintance what we have never suspect
ed-thaTmere humanity is a strong at
traction when it is relieved of affectation,
as it will be if we treat it generously and
sympathetically. Hardly anybody is ab-
solutely dull or wholly devoid of charm
if he be put at ease, and allowed to be
his unrestrained self. And the real art
of listening insurcs such conditions, and
eventually begets mutual interest which
in the beginning may not be forcshadow-
ed.
The art Of listening is we'll wol til cul-
tivating. The bane Of all society is ego
tism, which is SO restless and exacting
that it never pauses to see what mind and
merit may lie behind the externally un-
inviting. The base of good society is ben
evidence, and the benevolence that
prompts us to listen is ultimately remu-
nerative in many ways.

REPAIRS.

We would call the attention Of
purchasers to the fact that we keep
an immense stock Of repair-parts on
hand at coQyenient points in the
country, so that in case Of breallage
which will occur sometimes with the
best machines, the farmer can get
the broken part duplicated near
home, without being subjected to the
veXations and expensive delays
caused by having to send to the
shops hundreds Of miles away for
the broken piece,
This is a point of great import
ancc, and one that will be highly APP
preciatcd by the farmer who has

expense while his machine is repair-

went and picked him up. Dr. j. X,

stranger removed to the city hospital
on Lamar street, examined his wounds
