biological question which We have
all got to settle and the most diff
cult one ever committed to the
consideration of statesmen and
plilanthropists, shall break out and
these dangerous elements again be
aroused, l greatly fear that the re.
cent trouble and disasters through
which we have just passed Will
prove to be but the shadow, the
penumbra of u deeper and more
dreadful eclipse, which will come
upon this continent, blighting and
blasting the brightest and best
hopes of mankind. Should that be
so, then some future bard may
sing
The star of hope shone brightest in the
West,
The star of liberty the best;
1t has set upon her darkened shore.
And life, hope and freedom light up
ear no more!
The Vice President announced
that the object for which the two
Houses had convened having been
accomplished the Senate would re-
tire to its own chamber. The Sem
ate thereupon retired.

Give us Fair Representation.

AS it is now conceded that we are
to have Constitutional Conven-
ton, there is one point to which 1t
is our duty as u Los Angeles jour-
nalist to call attention. This
county has been UNANIMOUSLY dis
eliminated against in the legisla-
tive representation. We have to.
day exactly one-half the represen-
tatlon Of Sacramento and Santa
Clara counties, while the vote at
the last election proves that we
stand in population third in the
Substantially after Alan eda
county, and only few hundred
behind Alameda at that. We are
now allotted one Senator and two
Representatives, while we ought
to be represented at Sacramento
by two Senators and four Assem-
blymen. With six votes we should
stand in the Legislature in very
different attitude from that occu-
pied by US now. Our weight
Daily Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1876-1884, 1878-02-13

would be immeasurably increased.
We could then see to 1t that all
the money expenditures on ac-
count of the State should not re-
late to public institutions immedi-
ately around the Bay Of San Fran
cisco.
The mooted schemes OF apportion-
ment for the Constitutional Con-
,vention are, we believe, ba sed on
the representation of the several
counties in the present Legisla-
ture. Santa Clara county, with n
less vote than Los Angeles county,
is set down for six members; Los
Angeles county is graciously con.
cedsd three. We call upon our
Senator and members to see to it
that our proper repr> scntation is
secured to US, no matter what
other sections may suffer or OBJ
ject. We are entitled to and should
have six members; and, if our
rights shall not be conceded to us,
our own legislators should vote
against the bill altogether. We
can cherish no hopes of an assem-
blage which should, in its very in
ception and constitution, perpe-
trate a fragrant act of Injustice up
on this section. The principle of
no taxation without representa-
ton is one which Is at the corner
stone of representative Republican
government, and it applies, with
special force, to a body which will
be mpowered to make the organic
law of the State for years to come.
There are quite number of fea-
lures which the people of this Sec
tIon desire to see engrafted in the
new Constitution, and six MEM
bers OF the Constitutional Conven-
tion can be far more etfectual to-
wards accomplishing them than
three. 1t should be provided, in
the new Constitution, that regular
terms Of the Supreme Court shall
be held every year in Sacramento,
San Francisco and Los Angeles.
We should aim to mould such fea-
lures of the new Instrument as re-
late to irrigation, corporations,
taxation, the titles to land, ETC., so
that they shall be in sympathy
with the interests of Southern Cal
ifornia. We should also labor to
incorporate provision admitting
of the division of the State of Cali
fornia and the formation of a State
of South California, should certain
contingencies arise.
To admit of our having our due
weight in shaping such matters
and in other subjects in which we
are interested in common with the
people of California at large, we
should stand on our rights and in
sist upon our having our fair repre-.
sentation in the Constitutional
Convention.

WE learn from Washington that
President Hayes is deeply dis
pleased with the action of a New
Orleans Grand Jury which indicted,
and of trial jury which convicted,
Gen. Anderson, the Returning
Board rogue. 1t is perhaps greatly
to be regretted that Mr.. Hayss's
feelings are to be agonized. We
would suggest to him, however,
with the utmost Difference, that he
should begin now to accustom him
self to rude abrasions of his tender
soul. He is now about rounding
up the first year of his fraudulent
occupation of the Presidency. We
think, if he would answer truly,
that he would say that he has not
found the comfort he expected
from q residence in White House
which he knows should be occupied
by Samuel J. Tilden. AS the
months and years roll on, should
the laa of the four still find him
President, he will discover that he
is the victim of cumulative
wretchedness, and that his last
state will be far worse than his
first. He thinks he is encounter
ing disagreeable experiences now,
but they are nothing to the annoy
ances that will beset him as his
public career draws to close. His
experience will be a striking lesson
to future public men never to suffer
themselves to be made fraudulent
Presidents.

A LOYAL Reporter.

In relation to the Prince Of Wales
good nature, it is told that he was one
evening attracted to the scene of Lon
don fire, and finding that neither he nor
the little group of gentlemen with him
had fusee with which to light his cigar,
accepted light from a quick-witted re-
porter who stood near. He lighted his
cigar, and then held out his case to the
reporter, and courteously asked him to
help himself.
The other, trembling with delight,
took cigar, but instead OF smoking 1t,
extracted an Echo from his pocket, care
fully wrapped the princely gift in it, and
buried the parcel in his bosom.
"What are you doing7" asked the as
tonished prince. why don'tyou smoke
it ?"
"Your Royal Highness," replied the
other, "Heaven forbid that I should
ever smoke the cigar you have just
given me ! I shall treasure it up among
the things I value most. and leave it to
nv children as q precious heirloom"
The prince laughed. "Wel," " said
ne, again OHer1uB Hls clSaf-caSo, hooP
your heirloom, but take another to
smoke now. They are not bad weed,
and think you'll like them"
The poor newspaper man heard and
obeyed. He took cigar, and in rever-
ent daze silently smoked it. And it is
further related that when he died, not
long ago, that the precious cigar was
found under his pillow carefully pre-
served.
Doubtless majority Of readers will
read: the anecdote with smile OF in
credulity. But when George the ~:
visited Edenburg, Sir Walter Scott
seized the glass goblet from which the
king drank at a public banquet, and
kept it among his cherished treasures.

The Professors Prize.

Germany has S. Pickwick indeed, with
out guile. The story is told by the
Sch,Seizerische Dorfkalender. The an
tiquarian stood before stable door
in rapt delight, contemplating a stone
fixed in the archway, which bore the in.
scription "1081." Calling the tenant
farmer. he said: cam I not right, my
friend, in supposing that you procured
this stone from the castle ruin on the
hill yonder ?" eft may be-" replied
the owner, "that my grandfather fetched
it when he built the stable" The pro-
fessor asked what he would take for the
stone. "Since you seem to have q
fancy for it." said the farmer, "pay me
down forty guldens and I will leave it at
your house." "That is rather a large
sum-" said the professor "never mind,
bring it to me tomorrow morning and
you shall have the forty guldens.
On the next morning, when the peas
ant brought the stone upon the truck,
the jealous antiquarian eagerly turned
it over to refresh his eyes with sight
of it's chronological inscription. "Why,"
cried he in amazement, "What is this ?
This is not the right stone. Yesterday I
read the date 1881, while this bears the
date 1901, which proves that the other
was exactly 720 years Older than this"
"The Herr Professor must not trouble
himself about that small matter" replied
the boor. "You see, sir, the masogs
turned the stone upside-down when they
set it in the doorway, because it atted
that way. You can turn it whichever
way you like now it is your own, but, Of
course, I must have the forty guldens." !"
The money WAS paid.

Telegraphy by Mirrors.

Some experiments are about to be
made at the Marseilles (France) station,
the effect of which, if they would prove
successful, will be to once more revolu-
tionize the art of railway signalling.
This apparatus is described as consisting
entirely of mirrors, which seem to be
arranged all along the line so as to COM
municate with one another, and with the
last of the whole series, which is, of
course, set up in the station itself. In
these days no such system could be per-
feet without the aid of electricity. Accord
ingly the mirrors are to be "electric "
mirrors )" and though the term does
not Immediately convey very accurate
meaning to the unscientific ear, it is
possible, after our experience of tele-
phones and monographs, to imagine
that these may have al least tenfold the
rejecting power of an ordinary looking
glass. This must be the case if, as it is
asserted, the new machine will exhibit
to the spectator faithful picture Of one
hundred miles of line. The surface of
the glass will, according to the account,
form little panorama upon which will
be seen all the trains passing for the
time being over that expanse of line.
They may be watched like pretty toys,
ascending inclines and then descending
them again, passing one another, and
perhaps occasionally overtaking one
another rather too fast. In the latter
case it will, of course, be the duty of the
station master, whose eye is constantly on
the mirror, to interpose and prevent the
mischief. The invention is one to de.
light the hearts of station masters MI
over the world.

LiUuid Vacuum.

An exchange is responsible for this !:
When Thomas drove up to house on
Elizabeth street yesterday to deliver the
usual quart of mixture, the gentleman
of the house kindly inquired
"Thomas, how many quarts OF milk
do you daliver9"
"Ninety-one, sir"
"And how many COWS have you I
"Nine, sir"
The gentleman made some remarks
about an early spring, close OF the East,
ern war and the state of the roads, and
then asked: -,
"Say. Thomas, how much milk per
day do your COWS averageT
"Seven quarts, sir"
"Ah-um," said the gentleman as he
moved off. Thomas looked after him,
scratched his head, and all at once grew
pale as he pulled out short pencil and
began to figure on the wagon cover.
C. ne COWS is nine, and set seven
quarts down under the COWS and multi
Div. That's si1ty-three quarts OF milk.
/ told him I sold ninety. one quarts per
day. Sixty.three from ninety-one leaves
twenty-eight, and none to carry. Now,
where do I get the rest Of the milk !?

away to one of my best customers, by
leaving blamed big cavity in these
fggers to be filed with water !!

Norwegian Fishermen.

The Norwegian fishers prepare tor sea
as soldiers make ready for the battle
field no man knows whether he will
ever return. In the month OF March
word reaches them that cod have arrived
in the West Fjord, near the Lofodens,
and they set out. From the North Oape
to Bergen the whole coast is alive /;
barks Of every size and shape, schoonerss,
bries, luggers, yachts, all set sail.
When they arrive at the isles the fishing
area is divided. Four or five hundred
boats cast their nets. at once, and draw
them in full of the squirming prisoners:
The remainder Of the crew have landed
in sheltered place, and await the arri-
val of the fisht to cure them. AS soon as
a net casts it's living cargo on the rocks
the executioners advance each SEXES
its victim, hits it, dispatches it with
a stroke of his knife, cuts off it's head,
which he sings into q tunnel OF OIL,
drags out it's entrails, and then bites
greedily into the yet warm liver OF the
creature as if it were ripe fruit. This
ia the battle of the fishers. They have
on their side skill and audacity, but the
f;sh have on theirs the tempest, the
Maslstrom which draws in ships and
sucks them down, the icy currents OF
the North sea. So reasoned the boss
when the subject OF cruelty to cod was
broached to him. The Norwegian sailors
are reputed the best in the world. A
British admiral once said i: "To rule
the sea T should like feet of English
ships manned by Norwegian sailors"

Ancient and Modern Extravaganza.

Who among extravagant young
ladies in these 5oastful times ever gave
her lover, as Cleopatra did, pearl dis.
solved in vinegar (or undissolved)
worth S4O0,OO0? Then there was a
Paulina, of the ton in Rome, who used
to wear jewels, when she returned her
visits, worth 100000. Cicero, who
was comparatively poor man in those
times, gave 81, 500, 900 for his establish
ment on the Palatine while Messala
gave 100000 for the house OF An
tony. Seneca, who was just a plain
philosopher, was worth $120, 600. 900.
Tiberius left property Of nearly $780,
100000. Caesar and Marc Antony both
owned wonderful fortunes. Caesar, be-
fore he entered any Office, when he was
a young gentleman in private life, owed
81, 900, 900, and he purchased the friend
ship of Qumsor for So, 500, 900. Marc
Antony owed 81, 500, 900 on the Ides of
March and paid it before the Kalends
of March. This was nothing; he
squandered $72O,0OO,OO0 Of public
money. And these fellows lived well.
Esopus, who was play-actor, paid
s4O6, 900 for a supper. Dishes were
made of gold and silver, set with. prec-
ious stones. The beds Of Heliogabulus
were of solid silver his tables and
plates were of pure gold, and his mat
tresses, covered with carpets OF cloth
of gold, were stuffed with down from
under the wing of partridge. It took
$50. 900 year to keep up tne dignity OF
a Roman Senator.
