What horrible associations crowd
into our mind when the word SPAR
lor" is mentioned. We Immediate
ly picture in our imagination the
terrible oppressiveness of that best
room, where the sun is never al
lowed to shine for fear of fading
carpet and furniture; where the
chairs all have a stately polished
and stiff look about them; where
the children are never allowed to
enter; where what little air there
is may never be allowed to change !;
and where the smell is something
akin to that Of a family tomb.
This is the best room, and is too
sacred for the use of the family,
and is only kept for purposes of
ceremony and for the convenience
Of those people who do not care a
rush.
feople Whom we like and with
whom we arc on familiar terms,
come right into the living-room
and have a good chat in a pleasant
way; but the ceremonious visitor
whose departure gives us relief, is
ushered into the parlor. The prin-
ciple upon which this room is
founded is all wrong. Let us have
no such room in the house. Open
the shutters and windows. Admit
the sunlight and air; if the carpets
and furniture fade, let us enjoy
their use in that condition. Let US
not have any tomb in our home,
where all should be cheerfulpess
and brightness. Abolish the "par-
lor" and enjoy the home.

being an aggrieved person. Now,
there is this curious thing about
duels, which, l suppose, accounts
for principals taking things so
quietly. Before the duel one feels
most uncomfortable, to judge by
my experience, but when one has
to fire one is so engaged in listen
ing for the signal that it does not
occur to one that one may be hit.
A good shot would, / take it, be
able to take a deliberate aim undis-
turbed by any nervous trepidation
from his target also aiming at him,
because the nervous trepidatien,
however strong it may be before
hand, by some curious disposition
of nature disappears when you are
actually firing. Much the sam e
thing occurs in battle The un-
pleasant moment is, according to
the experience of soldiers, that just
before going under fire or when the
fire is not returned. So soon as
soldiers are themselves firing, one
idea excludes another, and their
minds are SO occupied with what
they themselves are doing that they
forget the danger.s

which the meeting declared its
conviction that the benevolent in
tentions of Mr.. Stewart had been
efectually and shamefully thwart-
ed. They entreated Mrs. Stewart
to see that what was intended for
workingwomen should not be taken
from them, and that an equivalent
charity under better advisers be
provided for them. They exoner-
ated Mrs. Stewart from blame in
the matter, advised every self
respecting woman to withdraw her
patronage from Stewards store,
directed attention to the fact that
the man who denied to woman a
flower-pot or a bird was now open
ing in the same building a bar ard

Hilton the most astute business
trickster of the day and the most
conspicuous fraud in the history Of
American charities. This fatter-
ing alluSion to the Judge tickled
the audience immensely, and they
demanded a second reading of it.
The resolutions were unanimously y
adopted. Much amusement was
afforded by the reading Of a series
of regulations for the guidance OF
the future male boarders, in which
the rules with which the inmates
of the Woman's Home have COM
piled were happily parodied.

the protest by the ladies Of New

speaker, successfully checked all
fun-provoking propensities and put
the multitude in thorough sympa-

the purpose of A. L. Stewart to

workingwomen for their perpetual
benefit. If through bad manage.

daughter of Commodore NJ. F.

by which they may rescue the fair

THE San Francisco Chronicle is
very much exercised over the pres
ent posture of the Constitutional
Convention. Amongst other things
it says:
The plan is to sink old parties in
all the doubtful counties-as San
Francisco, Sacramento, Santa
Clara, etc.-but to preserve the
Democracy intact in all the coun-
ties sure for them. Los Angeles is
such a county. The Democratic
Committee there have ordered a
Convention to make strictly parti-
ian nominations. They will pur-
sue the same course in every DEM
ocratic county. The result will be
the return of half the delegates as
Democrats pure and simple; and, as
the same party will secure one-half
of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS con-
crete tickets, of course they will
have a large majority Of the Con-
vention.
Now as most good Democrats
will admit that it is an excellent
thing to have as many Democrats
as possible in the Constitutional
Convention, the HERALD, in adj
vocating regular Democratic NOM
nations, according to the Chroni-
Gle, apprehended the situation per-
fectly. Let us see to it that We do
our share in sending from this
county sound Democrats to make
our organic law.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-05-12

IT will be seen, by reference to
our advertising columns, that the
Democratic County Central Com
mittee, at their meeting yesterday,
have called Democratic Convex
ton for the 4th of June. The
primaries will be held on June 1st,
and the only test which will be APP
piled is that those Offering their
ballots shall be qualified voters and
Democrats. We think the Com
mittee have shown an eminent de-
gree Of wisdom in this procedure
and the Los Angeles Democracy
will respond to their initiative
with enthusiasm.

THE people of Los Angeles make
mistake in not patronizlrg
amusements more literally than
they do. Many persons are largely
Influenced in their selection of q
home by the probability of being
able to amuse thems elves at inter-
walls. There has been great deal
of agitation here in the interest of
building a new theatre. We
should, by all means, like to see
this theatre built on the under
standing that our people would
patronize it. II we showed the
proper interest in dramatic enter
tainments we could rely upon a
troupe of first class artists putting
in al appearance here every two or
three weeks. A meritorious COM
bination does come to Los Ange-
les occasionally; and, in nine cases
out OF ten, they lose money by the
v,nture. Very naturally they tell
their experience when they return
t. San Francisco, and the result is
that no other troupe ventures to put
in an appearance here for what
seems an age. Los Angeles is
large enough and wealthy enough
to make 1t worth the while of the
California or Baldwin company TO
come down here now and then, but
they are afraid to risk the expert
ment. We frequently receive let
tiers from theatrical aud musical
artists of reputation inquiring Us to
the expediency of their paying Los
Angeles visit; and, In every in
stance, we are obliged 10 decline
the responsibility Of advising them.
After nearly four years diligent
observation of the amusement
moods of our people, we are no bet
ter prepared to say now what would

THERE is regular cry, when
New York city rolls up her hand
some Democratic majorities, about
fraud. The fact is that, of the
enormous voting population of
New York clty-a vote which, by
any standard of computation, can
not be less than from one hundred
and eighty to two hundred thous-
and-only about forty thousand
are Republicans. No matter what
efforts they may make, the Repub'
can party cannot muster more
than forty odd thousand votes.
OF course, when the full vote OF
New York City is polled, the DEM
ocratic majority is necessarily
prodigious. No human machinery
can be devised, short of disfran-
chising the voters, to bring about a
different result. We occasionally
encounter, in Republican Journals
noted for putting forth specially
silly opinions, the statement that
Mr.. Tilden carried the State OF
New York by the aid of the large
fraudulent vote given TO him by
the city of New York. Such re-
mark shows a density OF ignorance
absolutely incredible in a being
which had survived the Eocene pc
Rod. All the men who sympa-
thized with the Tweed ring or the
Canal ring, every man out OF
whom q repeater could be manu-
featured, voted against the Tilden
electors. They hated the Demo-
cratic candidate with an intensity
of hatred compared to which the
natural Democratic spirit of oppo-
sition to the Republican party was
love itself. If Mr.. Tilden had got
his full party vote in New York
City in the Fall of 1876 his majority
in the State would have been fully
one hundred thousand. Not only
were the adherents of Tweed and
the Canal ring inimical to Mr.. Til
den, but John Kelly, the powerful
chief of Tammany and the dictator
of the politics of New York City,
was opposed to him. 1t was only
the force of tremendous public
sentiment, which many Republic
cans shared equally with Demo-
Gratis, that enabled Mr.. Tilden, with
all these enmities in his own party
focused upon him, to carry the
State of New York by thirty-five
thousand majority. The city oil
New York gave him fully forty
thousand less majority than it
would have given Democrat who
had not been engaged in redressing
local party abuses.
