1--WE suppose the Exchange alludes
to Gen. Volney e. Howard) COM
plains that the San Francisco Law
Library is nots accessible to Los
lawyers. The Exchange
remarks, en- passsnt, that Los An.
geles lawyers, and the people OF
Los Angeles generally, are always
grumbling; and that, through their
unintermittent growls, they got
more out OF the State at the last
session of the Legislature than all
the interior counties put together.
We doubt this, but we notify the
Exchange that If growing is eff
fectual we intend to give the next
Legislature the benefit of our full
est diapason. No Thessalonian
hound ever bayed louder than will
this entire community at the next
session. Entitled to five or six
members of the Legislature, we
have been cut down TO three. No
one will dispute the fact that we
ought to have lunatic asylum
and penitentiary bere, and yet
we have nothing. We must de.
mand and receive reparation for
this neglect.
We are obliged to acknowledge,
in common with the other papers
of this city, call yesterday from
a lady for whom we entertain only
sentiments of the most respectful
admiration. We allude to Mrs.
Sharkey. That lady has imbibed
the idea that the present editor of
the HERALD is hostile to her. We
beg her to remember that we have
never antagonized her in the
slightest degree. 1t was the
wicked Ayers, the naughty
Creighton, the volatile Berry, and,
we grieve to say it, the Rev. A. M.
Campbell, who were guilty of
frivolities in her regard. We don't
ask Mrs. Sharkey TO restrain her
God. given energies, but we beg her,
in the future, to expend them upon
the editorial and reportorial mis-
creants who disturbed her repose,
and not upon the present innocent
staff of the HERALD. There is not
q man at present on the staff of
this paper who has violated the
decalogue by taking her name in
vain.
A basbfll friend of ours had an
amusing experience on Spring
street Il Gay or two ago. He was
weighing himself on pair of
scales that stood in front of a store
when he felt some one plucking at
his elbow. On turning round he
found a very pretty young lady
with her gloved hand still resting
on his elbow, who, without any ex.
planation, said, Mister, please
whistle" at the same time point
ing to a receding street car, 81
mi ust go to East Los Angeles, please
whistle, won't you@ Our friend,
almost overpowered with modesty,
but wishing to oblige the young
lady, who, by the way, he did not
know personally, tried to pucker
his mouth but it was no go. At
this juncture Captain Green, who
was near enough to comprehend
the situation and who was nearly
bursting with suppressed laughter,
put his hands TO his mouth and
gave a stentorian whistle, which
brought the car to sudden stop,
and enabled the fair demoiselle to
get off on her trip to East Los An
geles.
Our neighbor Of the San Diego
Ne,ps, of all the journals that had
something sneering to say about
our Texas-Pacfic and weather
prophecies at the time, is the only
one which has had'the grace to ac-
knowledge the corn. 1t does it
thusly: The Los Angeles HERALD
says that at the next session of
Congress, the great railroad inter-
est will be settled, one way or an
other, and as the editor force aste
the action of the last Congress
quite well in this regard, and also
proved a very good weather seer,
we are bound to attach some value
to his predictions, whether they
are for or against the TeXas-Pa-
cifc.
Judge Peel had an old time Mem
day levee yesterday. John Slatch-
er, John Murphy and John r.
Kelly were up for drunkenness.
The first two were sent to the chain
gang for five days each and Kelly

Dan McCabe and A. Read were
charged with battery. The former
paid SIS and the latter was dis
charged. Three charges of petit
larceny were preferred against
Lauriano ArZaga. These, if sub
stantiated, constituting q felony,
he was held In $500 bail to appear
before the next Grand Jury.
The Board Of Supervisors have
thus far received applications for
but two of the four appointments to
which this county is entitled on
board the training ship Jamestown.
Similar opportunities have been
eagerly sought for in nearly all the
other counties of the State. The
Board will devote one day this
week to receiving applications. All
candidates will he subjected to a
strict medical examination, as the
principal qualification for appoint
ment is sound health.
