Jumbo,s safe Passage.

Barnum's big elephant, Jumbo, passed
through Wilmington on the p, w. B. about
o'clock yesterday morning. The ear in
which he was conveyed was so wide that at
many points along the road the station plat
forms had to be cut away, and at Elkton
part of the pavement had to be torn up.
Jumbo reached his destination in safety, and
is now on exhibition in Washington.

always succeed in whatever they
undertake, and last evening they
achieved one OF the greatest of
their triumphs.
The performance which began
the festivities was introduced by O
very enjoyable overture by the Or
chestra. Mr.. VIM. Cline then rem.
dered his Dutch impersonations,
which were highly laughsble. Gus
Leonard followed with his Ethi-
opian comicalities, including orig
inal songs aud funny sayings, we'll

Asoeseo then executed some de.
lightful guitar selections in the
most artistic manner. One of the
most striking features of the entire
performance, and one that excited
not only admiration but especial
wonder in the entire audiences, was
the inimitable playing of Mr..
VIM. Cline upon very diminu-
tive specimen Of that rather plebe.
ian instrument, the mouth har-
monica. He rendered Home,
Sweet Home" with nine dis.
tinct variations, and the ef-
feet was really very pleasing.
He ia truly musical genius. Gus.

Building improvements.

From visit to the offices of cur
architects we gather the following
notes of building operations now
going on and projected in this city.
From the list it will be seen that,
Notwithstanding the threatened
dry year, our capitalists and prop
erty owners show their belief in
the prosperous future of Los Ange-
lea by investing their money in
buildings of a character that will
not only add greatly to the perma-
nent improvement of the city but
will swell the list of taxable prop.
erty and still further reduce the
rate Of taxation:
Messrs. Rivare & Sanguinetti
are making arrangements to erect
imme diately in the place of those
burnt on Main street by the re-
cent fire, q large building contain
ing five stores. The height or
plan of the building has not yet
been determined upon, hence we
are unable to state the cost, but
are safe in saying that it will be a
very fine building.
I. w. Hellman has commenced
to tear down the old brick struc.
ture known as the Pioneer Livery
Stable, on Main street, between
Court street and First, and
will erect o fine two. story brick,
iron front, 46x90, at a cost of $15,-
600.
John Schumacher-A ons-story
brick, opposite the Postoffice,
on Spring street, with one large
store, which will be occupied by
Mr.. Burch, from Ventura, as q
general produce establishment.
Mr.. Larronde-A two-story brick
at the corner of First and Spring
streets, 30x120, to cost $4,000:
Hellman and Childs-A brick
store opposite Baker Block, to cost
$15. 900.
A fine armory and hall, not to
cost far from $4,000, is also an i'm
provement in contemplation, but
not yet decided upon. No names.
Mr.. Fox, of Denver-A two-story
brick, opposite the American Ba-
kerry, on Main and First streets;
cost, $1,000.
In the course of construction
there are Heiuseh & Kuhrts's
building, $14 600; Ferguson & Rose,
SIG. 600; Presbyterian Church =,
SIS, 600; also large number of
residences in all parts of the city,
some of them actually under way,
and others for which the plans are
now being drawn by our architects.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1882-02-23
The Season of Lent.

From the current number Of The
Parish, periodical published by
the Episcopal Church of this city,
we clip the following treatise on
the Season of Lent, taken from
Thoughts on the Services" by
Bishop Cox:
The season Of Lent begins on q
Wednesday in order that, emitting
Sundays. just forty days may be
be accomplished before Easter, in
humble initiation of the Redeem
er's fasting in the wilderness.
The Mosaic Law provided for a
great fast Of expiation; and the
Christian Church, adapting the
idea to the atonement of Christ,
as celebrated at the Christian Pass.
over, and instituting Lent as a
proper preface of the Paschal So
emnities, seems TO have acted on
the warrant of our Saviour Him
self: "Tbe days will come when
the Bridegroom shall he taken
away; and then shall they fast in
those days."
The duty of fasting is ordained of
Christ himself; there must be
time for every duty; and therefore
the Church appoints time in all
respects fitting and appropriate.
Not to shear the CHURCH, in a
matter so scriptural and 80 true to
her divine mission is to run the
risk of being made las a heather
man and a publican"
Among the private duties Of
Lent, the propriety of abstaining
from ordinary nmusements must
be obvious. 1t is justly considered
out of character, too, to celebrate a
marriage in Lent; and If ever this
rule Is departed from, IL is plainly
a duty to dispense with the ordi-
nary festivities and merry-mak.
ings.
Among other private duties OF.
Lent may be mentioned interces-
sion in Church and in the closet,
for all pastors and their flocks
during this season of grace; for
mission aries and the beathen; for
those who live in sin; and for
Christians who have departed from
the unity Of the Apostolic Family.
Let 10 never forget that 0ea 10
