Chief Engineer Menecal, Of the
United States Navy, has been say
ing some very pleasant things
about Los Angeles. He told his
host, Mr.. J. K. Hollenbeck, that
bis expe Citations of California had
been very highly wrought up by
reading the writings of Nordhof1
and others and that bis frat i'm.
pressions on his trip TO this State
were not at all pleasant. he
passed great deal Of alkali lane
on the overland route and on his
way down to Los Angeles. When
he was driven by Mr.. Hollenbeck
thoroughly over the San Gabriel
valley he aid not attempt to dis
sem BILE bis delight, but expressed
the opinion that it was the lowell
est spet he had ever seen, far ex-
oeeding his expectations. As Mr..
Menocal is u Cuban born, aud ao-
customed to the splendors of tr0p-
zeal vegetation, this is saying
much. .Praise frem Sir Rupert is
praise indeed.n He pr0nounces
the WolfskiIl forty acre orange
grove, In the city proper, the finest
thing OF the kind be bad ever seen
| in his travels. In many respects
Mr.. Menocal IL q very extraordin-
ary man. Bern in Cuba. and edu-
Gated at Troy, New York, he has
risen to his present eminent posi-
tion by dint Of pure professional
and scientific merit and uHflagging
personal energy, having only been
naturalized after he left college.
Oae of his greatest achievements
was the survey of the route for the
Nicaragua canal, the guarantee of
which, by the way, will be strong
Iy supported before Congress from
this Coast as the surest way OF
settliHg the vsxed Panama canal
question. Mr.. Meneoal starts for
the East tomorrow, but will visit
us sgain in June, when he will be
able to form more detailed opin-
ion of Southern California In gen.
eral ard Los Angeles county IN
particular than the brief time at
his disposal has admitted OF his do
ing on the present occasion.

A Little Bows Goodness.


The suit of William O'Conor against
the Boston & Lowell Railroad at Law
renee has resulted in q verdict for the
plaintiff in so. 900, one half the amount
sued for. This suit grew out of an acct
dent which occurred August 27, 1880.
The plaintiff was the father of a child
then between 5 and 6years old. He and
his brother, three years older, were cross
ing a private way maintained by the
railroad for the Essex Company, and the
younger boy, while walking backward,
stepped between the rail and planking
of the roadway inside and was unable to
extricate his foot. At that moment the
whistle of q train was heard within q
few hundred feet and out of sight around
a curve, and it appeared from the evil
dence that the older brother, finding
himself unable to relieve his brother,
a down the track toward the train; but
finding that he could not attract the at
tention of the trainmen to his brothers
condition, and that he must be run over,
ran back to him. and, telling him to lie
down, pulled him outward and down
and held him there until the train had
passed. Both feet of the little fellow
were cut off or mangled so that amputa-
ton was necessary. The theory Of the
defense was that the boy was not caught,
but while running across the track, fell
and was run over. But the testimony
of the elder brother was mistaken in
every particular. 1t would be difficult
to match the nerve, thoughtfulness, and
disregard of self displayed by this boy,
who at that time was less than 9 wears
old.-BoSton Herald.

Prof. Baird says that the work Of the fish
commission Is going on TO his entirs satisfac.
ton. This summer they have Matched millions
or carp and shad, and are sending them out by
the carloads in lots TO the depots for distribu.
ton. He says that the way to get carp, which
is the most easily-raised fish, is to apply to the
director OF the commission, and the place is
chartered. Then when they nave enough to
supply a given locality they send a carload I'm
cans 10 a general depot where they have an
agent. He takes them and notifies the parties
applying by what train the fish will arrive,
ana they are expected tobe at the station TO
receive them. Only about sixteen carp are
sent to one place, and they should be placed in
a little pond where there are no other fish, or
they will be eaten by the others. Any little
pond, or indeed a puddle, will do, as they do
not want much water. They come to the sur
face and eat boiled corn or lettuce from the
hand. They subsist on vegetable food entire
ly. The second year there will be thousands
OF young ones, which may then be placed In q

will survive for propagation. Prof. Baird has

The Wrong Infrmity.

In a certain Michigan village, says
the Detroit Free Press, there lived, a de-
cade since, a man known as Judge Simp-
son. No one could remember of his
having served in any capacity to gain
the title, but he acquired it somehow.
and had dignity enough for a whole SUI
preme bench. The Judge was an &C.
centric citizen, well liked, but he had g.
terribly bad breath. No n would ride
with him, few could talk with him. and
everybody wondered why he didn't eat
onions for a change. No n had the
courage to mention this matter, and yet
something must be done or the Judge
would be ostracised. In this emergency
along came one of the first tramps ever
seen in the State. At the first house
where he called for a bite the man called
him in and said:
''My friend, are you a brave manP"
"Well, 1 never took a back seat yet"
''Do you want to earn S2P"

The tramp went his way, and the citi-
zen took his station on o street corne
He saw the brave man go up, and he
saw him come down. He went up grace-
fully enough, but when he came down
he bumped every separate stair, and as
he gathered himself up at the bottom a
boot lifted him clear into the gutter. He
started for the river on a dead run, and
never stopped for half a mile. Then the
citizen overlook him and asked:
"Well, was the Judge IMP"
