Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-07-22

IN our local columns appear the
resolutions of respect and condo
lence adopted by the City Council
of Los Angeles upon the death OF
the late J. A. Moerenhout, Consul
of France resident at this city.
This tribute of respect is re-echoed
by every resident of Los Angeles
not of the French nation, and by
nearly every Frenchman, in addi-
ton. Mr.. Moerenhout was an
honor to the illustrious nation
which he represented in the United
States. That crown of honor cele-
brated in the scriptures = three
score years and ten-had settled
upon his head, and he exceeded the
span of those who, by reason of
strength, add another decade to
their longevity. Having had the
honor of personal acquaintance
with this distinguished gentleman,
and having been absent at the
time of his obsequies, we cannot
forbear testifying, with warmth
and inlpreSSement, to his special
though unobtrusive worth. Mr..
Moerenhout was a most accom-
plished gentleman. 1t was his de-
light to gather at his hospitable
table persons of divers nationali-
ties. An almost universal linguist,
he could talk to almost every one
in his own tongue. We have seen
him at eighty-one preside, with
inimitable grace, at his own board,
quaffing his champagne with the
youngest, and rallying them upon
the fact that he, old as he was,
filled his glass and emptied it every
time. He was famous for a witty
and genial repartee. We doubt if
the French nation had, in any Sec
tion Of the globe, representative
at the same time so old, interest
ing and amiable as the late M.
Moerenhout. 1t must have been a
subject of keen regret to the French
and Belgian Consuls at San Fran
cisco that pressing business en-
gagements prevented their attend
ance at the funeral. But it will be
a consolation to them, as well as to
his family, to know that he was
superlatively honored in Los An
peles
