A Model Administration.

We yesterday learned through
our gymnastic friend, mr.. Thomas
Strohm, an incident which has
such an agreeable flavor that we
can't forbear repeating it. Some
ten years ago a Mr.. Schubnell died
in Los Angeles, leaving a young
daughter and some twenty-five
hundred dollars. Mr.. Isaias w.
Hellman, the banker, was made
administrator of the estate and
guardian of the young lady. Miss
Schubnell has received a thorough
education and has been raised in o
creditable and liberal way. This
sum has been so invested by Mr..
Hellman that the whole cost of the
maintenance and education of the
young lady has bean betrayed out
of It'll AMI, yesterday, on his wards
attaining her majority, Mr.. He'll
man turned over to her So, $40. Miss
Schubnell that was is now the wife
of the popular and accomplished
young gymnast who is our inform.
ant. Mr.. Hellman, with q llber-
atty which does him honor, de.
clined to receive one cent of remu-
neration for the trouble and respon-
sibilities Of his guardianship and
administration. The young couple
desired to unite Ia q card of thanks
to Mr.. Hellman, but it occurred to
US that an incident 80 novel and
pleasant could best be told In a
narrative form by a third person.
We about a year ago had occasion
to congratulate the young couple
on their marriage; we feel like in

tions upon this second and crafty

A Matter that Ought to be Looked
Into.

EDITOR HERALD: Last April
proposals were published by the
Quartermaster of this department
for the purchase of 155 head of
horses for the use OF government
troops in Arizona. On May 10th
bids were submitted in due form,
and Mr.. Newman's accepted by
the Department, the horses to be
delivered at Los Angeles. The
time within which the bidder was
required to furnish the horses was
from the 2lst of May to the 10th of
June, 1878. In that time Newman
hardly procured more than dozen
horses which the Department
would accept as answering the reg
ulations prescribed. Newman Lav-
ing failed to comply with the
terms of his bid within the time al
lowed by the Department., applied
for an extension, which was grant
ed him. This, to say the least, was
extremely arbitrary. The govern.
ment Inspectors commenced &C
cepting all kinds of hcrses, regard
less of quality or conditions. Such
horses as Newman has furnished
the government under his bid have
never before been accepted since
the war, when the nation was
plunged in internal strife, and con
sequently obliged to accep: almost
anything. +. p. +.

When the bile Is diverted from its
proper channels, into the blood, which
Is always the case in liver omplaints, 1t
ceases to be healthy secretion and be-
comes poison. Its abnormal presence
in the circulation and stomach is indi-
Gated by the suffusion OF the skin with
saffron tinge, by headaches, vertigo,
nausea, pain in the right side and under
the right shoulder blade, by indigestion,
obstruction of the bowels and other mi
nor symptoms. Order may be substituted
for this state of chaos, and further bodily
evil averted by using the beneficent al
terative and tonic, HostetteI's Stomach
Biiters, which, by relaxing the bowels.
promotes the escape from the circulation
of bilious Impurities; besides rendering
the action of the liver regular and re-
moving every trace of dyspepsia This

Treasure Seekers logged

The readers of the HERALD will
remember that, few weeks ago, a
couple of men were caught search
ing for buried treasure near the
new depot. On being brought to
police headquarters they stated
that they were San Francisco de-
tectives, here on legitimate busi-
ness, and complained bitterly at
being interfered with, but declined
to give any satisfaction as to the
nature of that business. They
were discharged and shortly after.
wards returned to San Francisco.
A few days ago couple of strang-
ers arrived in the city whose ac-
tiOns were considered suspicious
and a watch was set upon them.
Yesterday evening officer Kettler
found these men searching for bur-
ried treasure in the same locality
as those above alluded to. They
were arrested and brought to the
police Office where they gave their
names as G. s. Winslow and s. s.
Moore oflSan Francisco.
Chief Harris, during his recent
visit to San Francisco, investigated
the matter as far as he could with
the limited data at his command,
and is of opinion that both searches
have been inspired by a man now
in the States Prison under sem
tence for five years, who thus
hopes, Mr.. Harris thinks, by dis.
closing the whereabouts of the
swag, to reduce the term of his inn
prisonment; or who, being a man
of humor, is quilting the wise de-
tectives of San Francisco.
