Old "BoWs."
MARK Twain.l


Old "Bows'' Is dead-my loving
and trusty friend, the defender Of
my children, the protector of my
household in the dark and silent
watches of the night. For thirteen
years he has been both fond and
faithful, and now we feel like one
of the family Is dead. "Bows" was
the best Judge of human nature l
ever saw. He knew an honest man
and a gentleman by instinct. He
never frightened woman or q
child-he never went tearing down
the front walk after anybody but
the very looks of him would mighty
nigh skeer a Niger to death. When
they had to come to our house they
began to hOller "hello" o quarter
of o mile off. sBowsu loved to
skeer 'em, he did. He had q char
acter and emotions. Having no tall
to wag flor he was not cur-tailed)
he did the best he could and wagged
where it ought to be. "Rows" was
q dark brindle. He was dog of an
cestors. His father was named
'Shylock" and his grand
fathers name was "Sheriff" They
were all honorable dogs. He
was not quarrelsome nor fussy.
never knew him to run up and
down q neighbors palings after
the dog on the other side. He was
above it, but he never lodged q
responsibility. He has come in
violent contact with other dogs q
thousand times, more or less, and
was never the bottom dog in the
fight. And then what an honest
voice he had. His bark was not on
the @, but was deep, short basso
profundo. We have buried him on
the brow OF the hill where he used
to sit and watch for tramps and
stragglers: Slowly and sadly we
laid him down.

Downey Outlook: Mr.. Thomas
Gooch thinks that there will not
be more than half a crop of corn In
the territory between the rivers in
the vicinity of Ranchito. An un-
known bug (some say it is chinch
or a scale bug) is attacking the
ear, causing it in few days to
present the appearance of having
heen scalded. Up to the time this
bug made its appearance the corn
prospect in that rich district was
as good as one could wish.

Outlook.
To day our genial military friend,
Gen. Phineas Banning, celebrates
his-well, say thirty-fifth birthday.
He is in a charming state of pres
ervation and bids fair to live fifty
years yet. By the way, Gen. Ban
ming was for years and years the
king pin of Los Angeles county. 1t
is difficult to say just how much
this section has been indebted to
him. Few men who have made
California their homes have shown
the dauntless and all conquering
energy of the wheel-horse of Will
mington. We wish the gallant and
handsome General many returns of
the happy day.
Officer McFadden yesterday ar
rested one A. J. Messer, who lives
near the race track, suspected of
setting fire to his house. 1t ap-
pears that on Sunday Messer, with
his family, left his house and short
ly after Mr.. Dunbar, who had met
Messer on the road, discovered the
house to be on fire. Breaking open
the doors he found that, in an In
ner room, some kindling and two
sacks full of rags had been set on
fire. He extinguished the flames
and despatched young man who
had Joined him, to the city for an
officer. Officer McFadden went to
the house and discovered such evi.
dence as led him to believe that the
work was premeditated, and on
learning that Messer had an insur-
ance of 5000 or $500 on the house
and contents in Mr.. Brodrick's
agency, warrant was sworn out
for his arrest. Messer will be eX.

Obituary..

Departed this life September Is,
1879, Mrs. Julia Norris, aged 3S
years.
How briefly are these few words
written but what anguish do they
convey to those In whose hearts
she was enshrined. But yesterday
in the full flush of life and happi-
ness, surrounded by all those en-.
dearing ties that make up the sum
and substance of earthly bliss, and
to-day reposing. In the cold and 81.

of usefulness, in the sphere of her
affections, her fostering care of her
adored and beloved children, and
the sunshine and glory of her be.
loved husband, how bitter does 1t
seem, this untimely taking off. 10
be cut off in the blossom of her
years, called hence to an untimely
grave, surely i. must be the hand of
an inscrutable God that loosened
the silver cord that bound her to
life, for an all wise purpose. She
has now left us and her pure spirit
has winged its flight to that bright
mansion not made by human
hands; transplanted from mortslity
to Immortality where sorrow and
human suffering is unknown,
therefore you who mourn her loss
be consoled by these reflections
and weep no more. How proper it
is to pay an humble tribute TO her
many virtues. She has been res
ident of this city for many years.
1t was here she raised a family, the
pride and joy of her life. The
writer of this knew her we'll
knew her to be the embodiment of
all earthly virtues that grace q
good and noble woman, possessing
q mind of superior intellect and a
heart that eyer throbbed for others
loves.
In her loss society has been de.
prived of bright and exemplary
member, the poor kind benefac-
tress, her children q mother that
none other can replace, her be-
reaved husband true and devoted
wife, her aged mother an affection
ate daughter and her many friends
true and valued one.
If faults she had. as all poor mortals
have,
Her virtues plead to Him
Who does and always Will forgive.

There is no nobler office in the
world than to nobly, honestly, pure
ly entertain the people. To be
amused is to take the bitter drop Of
gall out of the things of life.
Amusement takes away the sting
of care and furnishes q medicine
for the heart. 1t cures the miasma
of the mind, and the art of anus
ing men, women and children in
nocently is a thing Of which the
proudest might be proud. The en-
tertainment which can win the
elevated and the noble to smile de-
serves the respect and gratitude OF
every person; to make people
laugh; to carry them out of them
selves and out of the hard world
about them, is task for the noblest
intellect. Such things are accom-
plished every Sunday at Washing.
