raters evidently honestly believe,
the deceased Cenetable nightly
manifests himself at his old home,
touches people with his hands and
looks as natural as in life. 1t is
something to have q genuine
haunted house and Los Angeles
certainly seems entitled to that en-
viable distinction.
The sale of the Oriental and Lit
tie Wonder mines at Calico, by
Chas. w. Day, James Waldrip,
Thos. w. Lynch and John ]. Alli-
son to Louis A. Garnett, OF San
Francisco, which we recorded
some time since, was completed
yesterday by the payment Of the
balance of the purchase money,
$40, 900. The purchasing parties
are now at Calico district arrang-
ing for the future working of their
mines. A mill Is to be erected on
them In a short time and it would
not astonish us to hear the music
OF 100 stamps in Calico district be-
fore the end of the year.-San Bcr-
n0rdin0 Times.
Mr.. Cogswell has just finished q
mastery full length portrait of
Miss Mamie Perry, the promising
young Los Angeles prima donna.
This gifted artist has bestowed
great pains upon his work; and, In
the likeness, in the flesh tints, the
handling of the drapery, pose and
expression, he has been notably
happy. He is specially fortunate
In catching his sitters at their best;
and in producing portraits that,
while absolutely faithful, give en-
during life to the brightest moods
OF the subjects of his brush. Miss
Perry's costume, coiffure, attitude
and likeness all blend in an exquis.
ite study Of young and hopeful life.
The effect is simply charming, and
we have no hesitation Ia giving
expression to our belief that 1t is
the finest achievement in the por-
trait line we have encountered in
Southern California.
Frank PIxley gives his opinion
Of our Representatives at WASH
ington as follows, in the Argonaut.
"Some time is required for under.
standing the working of the com.
plicated machine called Congress.
Frank Page is as energetic as com.
petent stage driver on down
grade. with the breeching broke,
and q humble bees next under the
tail of the off leader, while Pacheco
is as useless as Chinaman riding
backwards with his feet over the
boot, while the horses are running
away. He lives with Page, votes
with him, calls on the President
with him, and sneezes when Page
takes snuff. When l rem ember
his attitude towards the gang in
q former gubernatorial campaign, l
feel justified In expressing all the
contempt l have for his present
alliance with the men who then
assailed him. When I recall the
efforts Of myself and my friends in
his behalf, feel ashamed to have
befriended one whose weak ness aud
imbecility have taken the shape of
ingratitude.
Every one remembers Prcf.
Schl essinger, the head of the So.
eietas Fraternia at Anaheim, AID
whose exploits in the lias of try
ing to feed little babies oa raw tur.
nips, ETC., brought himself and the
society into the courts. We learn
that Schlessinger has fallen from
grace on the vegetarian PROPOSE
ton. 1t will be recollected that he
was not only a vegetarian in the
usual acceptatioD Of that word, but
that he would not allow anything
intended for the consumption of
himself or his disciples to be
cooked. Everything had to be
taken in its natural state, from
carrots and potatoes to grapes and
peaches. 1t appears that, shortly
after his arrival in San Francisco,
Schlessinger concluded that his
diet was little too thin for that
rugged climate, and he made up
his mind to 60 after the flesh pots.
He made his first adventure on
can Of sardines, which made him
very sick. However, he perse-
vered and is now lusty consumer
of meat and other Drawn and tis-
sue producing substances, and has
gained quite forty pounds In
weight. He has settled down to
business in an energetic way, hav-
made several thousand dollars by
his mediumistic and magnetic
gifts.
