Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-07-18

performance from the "Black Dia-
mond Amateur Minstrel Troupe"
of Los Angeles. We acknowledge
the compliment of tickets. AS
neither the tickets nor the pro-
gramme specify the date Of the per-
formance we shall have to rely
upon later information. for this
point. A. G. Doane i$President
Of the combination and Charles
Zulauf, Stage Manager. The
Messrs. g. f. Zulauf, G.. Fl. Bush,
Il. w. Stump, 8. B. Dewey, w.
Hobbs, Wallace and Adams, with
the company, figure as personators
of the various dramatiS persona.
We don't know where the per-
formance will come off, although
1t is consoling to know that the
Wangeman Bros. will furnish the
music. A Clodoche quadrille will
be one of the features of the enter
tainment. If we'll done that alone
Will be worth the price of admis-
sion, which is placed at the modest
sum of fifty cents, though as to
where the ''shindig" will be held,
or whether it will be a matinee or
an evening affair, we are left in
profound ignorance. Perhaps this
RIGHTEOUSNESS is a part of the pro-
gramme; and, if it is, it elevates it
to the dignity of q Calathumpian
revel. Count us in boys, anyhow.
2. s. Since writing the foregoing
we have been visited by q member
of the combination who tells us
that the entertainment is booked
for Good Templars' Hall, next
Monday evening.
In giving Mr.. Coitlu's recipe for
the extirpation of squirrels, the
other day, we omitted a very ma
terial part of the operation. In
order that there may be no omis-
sion this time we repub-
lish the directions: Saturate q
piece of old cotton cloth, say about
foot square, with coal oil; then
sprinkle powdered sulphur over it.
The cloth thus prepared must be
placed in the hole and, after set
ting fire to it, showed some dis
tance into the squirrel hole. The
mouth of the hole must then be
covered with clods or loose clay, so
as to allow the burning rags to
shoulder, after which cover up
closely to prevent the smoke from
escaping. Mr.. Cottle assures us
that he is meeting with the most
gratifying success eXtirpating these
pests by the abeve mode.
There were two distinct stormy
episodes in Los Angeles yesterday.
In the first the husband forgot that
dictum of the dramatist which
says that "he who would lay his
hand upon a woman, save in the
way of kindness, is a wretch
whom 'twere base flattery to call o
coward" The individual in ques-
tion "bounced" his wife and beat
her. This was in violation of that
famous order of Gen. Dix which
read: "If any man attempts to
browbeat and physically maltreat
a woman, spot him on the shoot"
The second episode was the case of
a feminine who thought herself
dispriZed wife, and who went for
black-eyed sefiorita in front of
Main street saloon. No blood was
spilled and only a limited amount
of capillaries were distributed on
the sidewalk.
AT a meeting Of Division No. 2,
A. o. H., held at their hall, Tenn
pie Block, yesterday evening, the
following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: Daniel Nc
Carthy, President Gre elected
fourth term; M. O'Leary, Vice.
President (re-elected); Jas. Kenne-
dy, Treasurer; Simon White,
Financial Secretary IRE. elected);
Thomas Clancy, Recording Secre-
tary IRE elected.)
Messrs. Levin & Co. inform us
that the reserved seats for the COM
plimentary concert to Mr.. and Mrs.
w. G. Cogswell, which takes place
at Turn Verein Hall next Saturday
evening, are being rapidly taken
and that, from present indications,
the entertainment promises to be
a success financially, as it undoubt-
edly will be from an artistic stand
point.
The committee on speed pro-
gramme of the Agricultural Socie-
ty, met yesterday and agreed upon
a programme and premium list for
next fall's Fair which, they trust,
will give entire satisfaction to the
stockmen and farmers of the dis
trict. AS soon as some miner de.
tails are arranged the program me
and premium list will be pub
lished.
Three applications have been
made to the Board of Supervisors
for appointment to the training
ship jamestown. Two of these
have been examined and found to
fill the requirements. The third
will be examined to-day and
should he pass there will remain
one vacancy, Los Angeles county
being entitled to four appoint
ments.
at the temporary organization of
the German Workingmen's club,
night before last, twenty-three
members signed the roll. A. o.
denberg was elected President and
II. Glass Secretary. A meeting
will be held at the rooms on Main
street for final organization next
Saturday night.
