Discrimination.

EDITOR HERALD: That section
of the new Charter which would
require the Common Council of
our city to discriminate against
any class of people who are pro-
tected by our laws, and who have
come to this so called Gland of the
free" to better their condition,
seems &c me in bad taste and looks
too much like fevii"vae!! ct the
spirit which induced legislators, in
years gone by, to enact laws mimi
cal to people of African descent.
The Council have, heretofore, in
making contracts for work, insert
ed an inhibitory clause which has
etfectually prevented the employ
ment of the much abused China
man. Let them continue to do
this, but don't degrade the citizens
of Los Angeles by attempting, in
framing new Charter, to Cypress,
or discriminate against, any class
of people on account of trace, col
or or previous condition." 1t were
well, perhaps, that the Charter
Committee should be governed, to
limited extent, by recent amend
ments to the Constitution of our
country. 1t is generally believed, in
the East, that Chinaman cannot
obtain redress in a California court
for an injury inflicted by a white
man, be he foreigner or native
born. 1t is also believed that the
cutlery against the Chinese is en-
couraged by demagogues who seek
political preferment by catering to
The wishes of those who hate the
Chinaman because he is industri-
Gus, hate the capitalist on account
of his thrift, and who hate the hon
est working man who, content with
his lot, will not join them in their
outrages upon a quiet, inoffensive
people. Citizens, competent to
frame Charter for city like this,
though they may, as individuals,
dislike certain portion of the for
eign element in our midst, will not
certainly hold us up to ridicule by
Incorporating their sentiments of
dislike in a city Charter. Let the
Committee abe wise without in
struction." S.

About Dresses.

There are three forms of dresses
popular this season. The princesse
dress, the polonnaise and the skirt
with tunic and basque bodice. The
princesse robe is reserved for what
is called in France la grande
toilette, and is subdivided into the
Medici and the Sultane dress.
Worth has recently been making
the Medici dress of thick white
satin, the front in white embossed
velvet, and all the embossed flow
ers outlined with white jet beads.
The Medici dress is low one, but
the bodice is cut square, and the
short sleeves are high on the shout.
ders. The sleeves in this instance
are embroidered with white Jet.
The Medici robe has always a
straight tablier formed of u wide
band of either embossed velvet or
embossed satin, or chenille or col
ored jet worked on net. The Sui
tame dress is princesse in form and
cut, but scarf or sash in the East
ern style is always worn over it.
The following example will de-
scribe the make: A blue faille
robe of the shade called "lac;" the
satin tablier of the color known as
"old gold" but entirely hidden
under an embroidery of gold, jet
and moss green and lac chenille.
The scarf, which is richly embroid-
cred with gold, is fastened at the
side with large butterflies made of
chenille and Jet.

Anaheim and Vicinity.

We clip the following from yes
terday's Anaheim Gazette:
The Santa Ana Valley Irrigation
Company have nearly compl eted
their tunnel through Bullwell
Point, and the job is said by prac-
tical eXcavators to be first class
piece of work. Mr.. Dorsey Denni-
son, the gentleman in charge, is an
old railroad man, and thoroughly
acquainted with the business of
boring holes through hills.
Mr.. J. II. DevIn, contractor on
The Los Angeles and San Bernar-
dino county road, is in town and
reports that, weather permitting,
the work will be completed in about
three weeks. The late freshet in the
Santa Ana river has caused slight
delay and some damage to the
newly built road. Mr.. Devin is
doing good work, and we wish him
success on his contract.
A store, hotel, saloon and black
smith shop are all that is needed to
make q town of Silverado, and we
do not doubt there Is a good open
ing for parties who will embark in
any of those branches of business
at that place. Some of the discov-
cries lately made in that vicinity
are undoubtedly valuable and will
be developed with considerable ac-
tivity. There are quite a number
of prospectors in the hills, and new
strikes are reported almost daily.
From gentleman living in the
Tomas de Santiago we learn that
there is much rejoicing Whereabouts
over the favorable prospects for the
coming season. Bee men are par
ticularly jubilant. The sage crop
promises well, and many flowers of
many colors and much sweetness
are already to be seen on the sunny
slopes, while the alfilerillo in many
places has attained the height of
eighteen or twenty inches. Stock
are doing we'll, and in fact every
thing looks prosperous with our
"highlanders." The late rains
have caused a considerable rise OF
the waters of the Santiago creek,
which is said to be higher now
than at any time for number OF
years.

The Charter Committee were en-
gagged yesterday in discussing that
part Of the charter relating to the
condemnation of property for pub
lie uses and the mode of levying
assessments for opening streets.
They arrived at the conclusion that
while the method of levying by the
foot front has, in some instances,
worked injustice, it is, generally,
the best plan that can be adopted.
The next meeting will he held at
the same hour and place Oh Satur-
day afternoon.

The Laboratory Of the System.

The stomach is the laboratory of the
system, in which certain mysterious
processes are constantly going on. These
result in the production of that wonder
full vivifying agent, the blood, which in a
state of health PUSHES laden with the
elements of vitality TO the remotest
parts of the system. But when the
stomach is semi-paralyzed by dyspepsia.
blood manufacture is carried on imper-
fectly, the circulation grows thin and
sluggish, and the system suffers in con-
sequence. Moreover, indigestion reacts
upon the liver and bowels, rendering the
first sluggish and the latter constipated.
The brain also suffers by sympathy, and
sick headaches, sleeplessness and ner-
vous symptoms are engendered. Hostel.
ter's Stomch Bitters reforms this state of
things, gives permanent tone and regu-
larity to the stomach and its associate
organs, the bowels and liver. and ensures
complete nourishment and increased
vigor Of the system. 1t is the most pop
ular as well as the most efficient anti
dyspeptic and tonic in America,

aces, to induce him TO bet, but was
given six cards go as to make mis-
deal. But "greeny" backed his four
for all he was worth and won,

with having another card secreted
about his person. A search re-
vealed nothing, and he departed
with his winnings. 1t was after

the extra card into sandwich
