A Wilmington incident.

EDITOR HERALD: Quite a happy
event to those who revere the
memory of ]. II. Smith, a departed
pioneer, occurred here this even
ing. Being present, 1 thought 1
would make brief mention of it In
your valuable paper, as very many
in Los Angeles county will there
by call to mind many cherished
remembrances of worthy man.
The event was the presentation of
the dead pioneers cane to Colonel
George Deaver by q committee APP
pointed by leading citizens of this
place, and the heartfelt expression
of sentiment by Mr.. Beaver and
others upon the occasion was con-
vincing proof that the recipients of
this gift, who, by the way, while
proverbial for his kindness to the
living, still holds the fondest re-
membranes of his dead comrade.

Il has ever been predicated by

Il has ever been predicated by
scientists (?) that because colors
could never be reproduced by the
process of photography that it had
no objective existence, and that
it was all sensation IS produced by
the refrangibility of light-that the
refracted rays striking against the
retina were communicated by the
optic nerve to the brain, and that
the rapidlty with which these wave
rays struck the the retina produced
the sensation known to as as red,
blue, etc. Those, however, who de-
sire to see old ideas exploded and
new truths demonstrated should
call at No. s Also street, the
largest dyeing establishment in the
city, and witness the operations of
Marteen as he segregates the COM
ponent parts of each sunbeam and
transmits them in various shades.

The San Bernsrdino Times, of
Nov. 5th, says: We are informed
by Mr.IJ. d. Potter, who has recent
ly come in from the Mojave river,
that cattle are dying along the
river OF the bloody murraiu. Upon
examination of the livers of the
dead cattle, they were found to be
nearly covered, in some instances,
with leeches. There seems to be
no remedy for the disease. Messrs.
George Wilson, Lane and Supervis-
or Riley have lost about twenty
per cent. of their herds by the dis
ease.

GThe large and steady increase in
the amount of work done by Tullis,
the matchmaker, is proof positive
that his patrons appreciate good
work and are taking advantage of
his very reasonable charges for the
same. 6l Main street.

By devoting my entire time and
attention to work in my line, and
having all the improved machinery
and tools necessary, L am enabled
to turn out as good work as can be
done anywhere and at prices lower
than those usually charged. Tullis,

BROKERAGE ON OOTTON.'

We think the DEMOCRAT may take some
little credit to itself In this matter. In
another column Of this mornings DEMOCRAT
will be found an official report OF the action
taken at meeting of the cotton factors Of
New Orleans called to discuss tho propriety
OF disoontinuing the quarter per cent hereto
fore paid to brokers by the factors on &C.
count OF their customers. This practice has
been taken up by the DEMOCRAT and vigor-
ously condemned ms unjust TO the planters
and lndefenslble IN equity and, notwithstand-
Ing tho opposition offered to our atti-
tude, the views we advanced have mot
with favor. II will be seen that n
large number III the most prominent cotton
houses In the city have pledged themselves
to cease tho payment Of the brokerage, and
thus relieve the port Of one Of the most odious
and oppressive customs TO which our trade
has ever been subjected. We congratulate
the community upon this result not only the
community proper. but the producers of cot
ton who do business here and who are thus
freed from a very arbitrary tax upon their In
dustry. We are glad to think that tho DEMO
CRAT has aided In the good work. The CIR
cumstanee will encourage us In the further
battle for the welfare and prosperity OF Loui-

sissippi and Its tributaries ls having most
disastrous effect upon the entire valley, and
calls for prompt action on the part OF the au-
thorlties at Washington. The manner In
which the mouth Of Rod river has been block
AIDED and has remained closed owing to the
dllatory action Of tho engineer In charge,

planning that good deal OF money has been
spent on congressional Investigations during
the past few months, aud that there is very
little to show in return for It, The total
amount spent for Investigations during the
recess OF Congress was $4,000. Some Of this
was. Of course, wasted notably the $4,000
spent on che Ingalls, investigation, and the
$1,000 fritteged away BY Wright's committee
trying to discover the Gauss OF the hard
times- Investigations, however, since the
Democrats have been in power have grown
extremely economical. and are not costing
anywhere Iear what they formerly did Ia
Radical times. e will be remembered how
Senator Patterson In those days spent during

come $1,000 for personal expenses alone.
