PIANO American colleague is an
nounced to set out on its career
Thursday morning, with the title
Of Et Eco dc la Patria. 1t will be
of small dimensions, but of great
hopes. Hope is the last thing that
is lost, and the newspaper-men Of
Los Angeles have all given proof
that they have a great capacity for
this virtue. This, to those who are
already in the labyrinth, is par
donable; but we are not able to
comprehend how it is that others
venture to enter it. In fact, it is
better to make shoes here than
newspapers"
Venturing to advert upon the
foregoing observations of our es-
teemed colleague, we assure it that
we are not impelled by the idea of
making a profitable business,
since we are aware Of the painful
experiences undergone by news
paper-men heretofore, especially in
the crisis which California has Just
passed through. We have been
guided, in establishing this weekly,
by the one end of maintaining the
rights of our compatriots, often
compromised in strange country.
We shall devote to our newspaper
the moments we are able to dispose
of, and it will be enough satisfac-
ton to have discharged our duty.
We shall be content, though we
gain nothing, IL we simply lose
nothing. Eco de Ia Patria.

Lecture for tho Free DispensHry.
Los ANGELES, Feb. II, 1878.

Los ANGELES, Feb. II, 1878.
GEN. V. e. HOWARD Dear Sir:
At a meeting Of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Los Angeles Free
Dispensary, held on the 9th inst,
it was unanimously resolved to
give a course of lectures by three
or four prominent citizens, sa d
lectures to be at Good Templar
Hall on the evening of the Sth,
18th and ed of March.
1t was also resolved unanimous
~ that Gen. Volney E. Howard be
invited to deliver the lecture on
the evening of the Sth of March.
1t is not necessary for us to tell
you of the misery, restitution and
disease there is amongst the power
ty-stricken class of all cities as
large as Los Angeles.
The worthy demand on our Dis.
pensary on Requena street, during
the seven months of its existence,
have been great, and we feel conf
dent that you will aid us by your
eloquence, in this enterprise, in
raising more funds for this cha rita
BILE institution.
Hoping to hear from you soon,
we are, very respectfully, yours,

The Charter Committee.

The Charter Committee held an
other. meeting last night. DR.. Bush
in the chair. During the evening
the discussion ranged as far as sec.
ton five of article three. Quite a
spirited little debate sprang up
upon the expediency of granting to
the city the power to sell all kinds
of property aud as to the expsdi-
ency of establishing Limitation as
to the time when a deed should
pass to the purchaser.
In the course of the debate ex.
Gov. Downey said the city of Los
Angeles once had magnificent
patrimony which had all been dis
sipated. The city lands had dis
appeared and there was now moth
ing to show for them. He was op-
posed to granting the city any such
power of sale.
Ex-Mayor Beaudry was also OPP
posed to the grant of such power;
and, in the course of his remarks,
he suggested that it was pity that
Ex-Governor Downey had not al.
ways shared his present views.
In reply, Gov. Downey defied
any one to show that he had ever
acquired any lands from the city
without paying for them.
The sense of the meeting was
that the city should not be allowed
to sell property without special
act of the Legislature and an ap.
proving vote of the People. The
whole subject was referred to o
special Committee, consisting of
the Messrs. Downey, Beaudry and
James. Another meeting will be
held tonight.

The Stepping Stone to Health.

The acquisition of vital energy is the
stepping stone to health. When the sys-
tenn lacks vitality, the various organs
flag in their duty. become chemically
irregular, and disease is eventually in
stituted. TO prevent this unhappy state
of things, the debilitated system should
be built up by the use of that inimitaole
tonic, Hostetters Stomach Bitters, which
invigorates the digestive organs and in
sures the thorough conversion OF food
into blood of a nourishing quality, IRON
whence every muscle, nerve and fibre ac-
quire unwonted supplies of vigor, and
The whole system experiences the bene-
fetal effect. Appetite returns, the sys-
tenn is refreshed by healthful slumber.

dependency begotten OF CHI ronic indiges-

disappears, and that sallow appearance
of the skin peculiar to habitual invalids
and persons deficient in vital energy, is
