In the County Court of Los Angeles, or Monday, John Taylor, Of Arizona, who was held in durancc vile on charge of stage robbery, was discharged from GUS. tody on the ground that the statutes of California conferred no jurisdiction in the case. We learn that Fay Tor. on release from jail, stayed not upon the order Of going, but went at once to the rural districts for fresh air and other things. There Is some thing peculiar about this case The mail stage that left Prescott Friday, June 20th, contained a letter to Sheriff Gabriel, of Pinal county, from Acting Governor Cos per, Of Arizona, enclosing requisition on the Governor of Californis for the return of Taylor'to Arizona as a fugitive from justic.. The stage was stopped and the mail robbed sbout three miles south O! Prescott, and the reputation captured, probably by friend of Taylor, as only . portion of the official envelope was found at the scene of the robbery.

MT. Theodore Pickcns yesterday showed us some specimens of berry that grows In abundance on his ranch above the Ca. iiada. about ten miles north Of the city. This berry possesses the remarkable prop. er.y of the best erasire soap, and when rubbed in little water produces the finest kind of luther. The studs from this berry will readily remove the most obstinate grease spots. and printers ink takes its departure after moments application. The operation, of t.is vegetable soap Is magical and delightful, and leaves no un. pleasant odor bchinu as remembrancer. The fruit has a bitter tas3e and is used ss substitute for quinine.
