A couple from Virginia landed
In Milton the other morning to be
married by Squire Lewis. They
walked hand In hand up Main
street and took seat on the front
step OF the 'Squire's Office, and the
man asked for license. AS the
Squire was preparing to make it

hesitate and finally said to the

A writer in the London Spectator

A writer in the London Spectator
aptly says: To a person of ordinary
rig ut m ind edness and honorable
feeling there are few more detesta.
BILE sensations than that of being In
false position; yet that is neces-
sarily the situation of any individ-
ual whose friends and acquaint-
ances persist In attributing to him
excellence of mind, body or estate
which he does not really possess.
Great expectations are entertained
about him which he Is unable to
fulfill. A burden is laid upon him
which is beyond his strength to
support. And the hardship Of 1t is
that when he breaks down under
it Gas he must infallibly do, soccer
or later, and the error that has
been made becomes apparent, then
those who overrated him are sure
to b. Just as much disguised at bis
failure as. though their mistaken
estimate OF him had been caused
by false professions on the part OF
their victim. They feel virtuously
indignant at having been taken In,
and forget that they are themselves
the authors of the alluring pros.
pectus that has deceived them.

TIRED OF LIFE.
James King Attempts Suicide by Taking IN
Ounce Of Laudanum.

Yesterday morning. shortly after
10 O'Clock, q man named James
King, whose family reside at Gar.
oen Grove, Los Angeles county,
California, attempted suicide by
swallowing an ounce of laudanum.
It appears that shortly before the
act he had q short conversation
with the foreman Of the Citizen Of
fee, Mr. Frank Cooler, with whom
he had slight acquaintance. He
babe Cobler goodbye with such
emotion as to arouse apprehe nsious
that he was about to commit some
desperate deed. He told Mr.. Cob
Ter to go to his room at the Ven.
tura Lodging House, on Penning-
ton street, the next morning, and
take his papers, in which would be
found full directions regarding his
earthly possessions. He had pro-
ceeded up Congress street but q
few rods when he WAS observed to
take vial from his pocket and
drink II portion of its contents. Be-
lieving that King had put his
threat in execution, Mr.. Cobler
called Judge Osborn. who was pass
ing, aud he summoned an officer
aud proceeded at once to his room.
The man had just emptied bottle
of laudanum ut u single draught
and threw the vial out of the back
window. DR.. Turner was at
once summoned and proceeded 10
administer the usual antidotes.
King, however, proved a very
stubborn patient. He clinched his
teeth, and it was with the greatest
difficulty that any emetic could be
administered. He seemed &C.
termIned 10 die. Finally increas.
ing drowsiness overcame his
strength, and such strong emetics
were given as to entirely relieve
his stomach of the dangerous drug.
After couple of hours of hard
labor by the physician and the at
tendants, the man was pronounced
out OF danger. He stated he would
not attempt his life again.
King came here last Friday. He
lie man fully fifty years of age,
and has three children, two daugh
ters and son, Ia California, all Of
age. His father resides at Downey
city, Los Angeles county. The
man has apparently seen great

culties are said to have been the

The Death Of Rabbi NeWmark.

ity upon the functional derange-

disinterested person Of course
knows that he died, full of years
and honors, by the simple wear

He had exceeded, by fourteen
years, the three score and ten
which the Psalmist assigns as the
measure OF life. In the same in
spired Language, "by reason OF
strength" the deceased struggled
on for nearly q decade and a half
beyond the recognized period.
Mr.. Newmark came to California
In 1852, settling first in st. Louis,
aud to Los Angeles in 1858. For
come years he did business on the
site of the United States Hotel.
He raised a large and interesting
family. His daughters were ac-
compiished and worthy women,
and are to-day wives Of some OF our
most enterprising citizens, includ-
