III. X. Funk & Co., New York
Price Is cents. This is new book
by Spurgeon, after the style of hit
celebrated "John Ploughman'i
Talk" which has had immense
sales In this country and in Eng
land. 1t is exceedingly humorous
and instructive. Each of the thir.
ty.nine short chapters Is illustrated
by a quaint, apt picture. The hu.
NOR and homely wisdom of this
book should carry 1t into every
household.
The Spiritualists completed their
organization Sunday by the cleo
tion Of J. Tilley, President, John
Cotton, Vice President, Mrs Nettie
Weir, Secretary and F. Linquist
Treasurer. The President, Vice
President and Secretary, with Mrs.
Burdick and Mrs. Porter are to
compose an Executive Committee.
A resolution was adopted by a
small majority permitting the
discussion Of any question pertain
ing to human welfare; whereupon
Mr.. Julius Lyons withdrew from
the Society, he being opposed to
the discussion of subjects not per-
tanning to the subject of Spiritual
ism. Mr.. John Cotton was select
ed to open the conference next SUM-
day, on the question, "What shall
we do to be saved?u
A representative of the HERALD
Sunday took a hasty drive through
Orange. This thriving settlement
more nearly resembles an Eastern
community than any other in Los
Angeles county, with perhaps the
exception Of Pasadena. The orange
and almond groves and vineyards
look particularly we'll. Mr.. William
Revis has bearing almonds two
and three years. from the buds. The
Stamps vineyard is o notably fine
one. With q splendid soil and
ample water for irrigation the fu-
ture Of Orange cannot help being a
very brilliant one. The Santa Ana
water ditch Is a thing worth trav-
cling n long way to see. 1t runs u
hundred heads of water to the hour
and justities the most sanguine
hopes of its projectors.
The bookkeeper of the Express
Mr.. Frank White, in company
with the Messrs. James Lancaster,
II. g. Weyse, f. N. Wolcott, G. A.
Haskell and Peter Warner, hied
them to the San Jacinto mountains
two weeks ago. There, at an alti-
tude of nearly twelve thousand
feet, away above the fogs which
circle the plains, they shot rabbits,
squirrels. and other birds, to their
hearts content. Several deer also
rewarded their quest, Frank White
bringing down fine fawn. Their
ambition was to slay "b'ar," but
Though they hunted long and de-
vOtedly, they found that Judge
Brunson and Charley Thomas had
laid out the whole tribe. Sleeping
under the canopy of heaven, with
Mother Earth for q couch and a
blanket for protection, they come
back a mighty healthy looking lot
of Nimrods.
Some of the candidates for local
offices have determined not to give
up the fight until the matter is
more fully tested. A new theory
Is being formulated which, it is
said, will lead office seekers out of
the woods. The first section of the
Constitutional schedule provides
that all laws not inconsistent with
the Constitution shall remain in
full force until repealed by the Leg
islature. 1t ia argued that the old
county election statute, under
which the present incum bents were
elected, is not inconsistent with the
organic law, except as to the time
of election. But section 10, of the
schedule, shortens the terms of Of
ficers chosen in 1879 one year, and
another provision fixes the general
election day upon the first Tuesday
after the first Monday of Novem-
ber. 1t Is claimed that these Con-
stitutional notifications, taken in
connection with the former law,
afford II complete system, under
which all our county offices can be
filled.
The Democrats had a rousing
meeting at the Monte Saturday
night. Judge III. X. s. O'Melveny
was the speaker. The meeting was
held in Good Templar's Hall, and
the crowd was SO great that many
could not gain admittance at all. A
large number Of ladies were pres.
ent. Mrs. Arnold presided at the
organ and, assisted by Miss Addie
Mays and other ladies, furnished
some excellent music, appropriate
to the occasion, which was highly
appreciated. Judge Hopper, the
President of the Hancock and Eng
lish Club at the Monte, introduced
Judge O'Melveny with few neat
remarks, and the Judge proceeded
to deliver one OF his most powerful
speeches. The Judge Is unques-
tiopably one of the most effective
political speakers we have and the
way he warmed up to his subject
Saturday night was a caution to
our Republican friends. Many
Garfield followers were there and
the Judges formidable and elo-
quent array of facts, figures and
argument in support of our plat
form and ticket, made deep inn
PRESTON upon them while the Dem.
ocrats present were brimful Of en-
thusiasm, applauding the speaker
with great warmth at every telling
stroke he made. 1t was o good

ways true as steel, but In this CAM
