Mr.. w. s. Templeton is building
q large double cottage, 40x42 feet,
Ion Olive street, between Second
aud Third, to cost $4,000. 1t will
contain fifteen rooms. the smallest
12x12. Mr.. Templeton has been
one of our most energetic builders;
and, even during thedull period OF
Los Angeles, he was constantly
employed in erecting houses which
are an ornament to this city, to Pas-
adena and to other sections of Los
Angeles county.

The late Col. Williams, when be
died, bequeathed to Judge George
g. Gibbs an ancient and valuable
volume, OF portentous dimensions,
being treaties on the "Law of Ma.
ture and Nations" written in
Latin by Puffendorf, translated
into English by Basil Kennel,
with q PREDATORY discourse by Bar
beyrac, translated by Mr.. Carew.
The volume was printed in Lon.
don, in 1749. 1t is quite an armful
and will be valued by it's present
p0ssessor as a reiique Of the brave
days of old.
There was lively episode ia the
Palace saloon yesterday afternoon.
A member-el Of the City Coun-
Gil and an ex.County Surveyor got
into difficulty. Hot words were
followed by blows, and two Ssmar-
itan peace Makers. in the persons
of County Clerk Potts and Uncle
Billy Sands interp0sed, preventing
michiDg malicho. The result was
that the combatants were separat-
| ed, but Sands carries reminder of
the episode In the shape of a man
| eard decoration over enc of his
eyes. Blessed are the peace-mak-
ers, but their temporal lot is some
times unfortunate.
Deputy u. s.. Marshal J. d. Dun.
lap returned from San Francisco
the other day with three prisoners,
convicted of selling whiskey to In
dams. They were sentenced to
imprisonment in the Los Angeles
county Jail as follows: John Cooper
to serve five days, Charles Smith
to be immured till June 15th,and
John Smith till May 8, 1882.
Altogether the vigilant deputy has
| eight persons who were engaged in
this nefarious business, five of the
cases not yet having been deter
mined. No doubt this vigorous
treatment will be effectual in re.
pressing this detestable traffic. The
kind of whiskey dealt out to these
poor aboriginal wretches would
create mutiuy in heaven itself.
A private note from Hon. A. w.
Francisco, editor of the Columbus
(Ohio) State Journal, advises us
that the writer, accompanied by
Gov. Tom Young, of Ohio, will pay
Los Angeles a visit during the
coming year. Some years ago Mr..
Francisco, who 10 the editor of the
Republican organ par crceIience,
of Ohio, paid Southern California
u visit. and he was specially fasci-
mated by Los Angeles and Santa
Bar bnra. The only drawback we
know to these gentlemen Is their
thorough Republicanism, but
then we console ourselves with the
reflection that it requires all kinds
of people to make up world, and
the probability IL that il their eli
matte conditions had been better
their politics would have shown u
corresponding improvement.
