We clip the annexed notice Of
lecture delivered by our sometime
townsman, Moye Wicks, Esq,
from the Tucson Journal of the
10th Instant: The lecture of our
young friend Moye Wicks on Sat-
urday evening last was replete
with interesting thought and re-
Fiction pleasing ly delivered, which
won the admiration and general
concurrence OF his audience. The
"Three Great Levers of Modern
Progress" the press, the school
aud the law, were treated with
marked ability and critical dis.
elimination, we'll worthy the at
tentien of much larger audience
than gave the lecturer u hearing.
Those who were in attendance,
however, were of the appreciative
class and manifested their interest
by close attention and fiattering
applause at intervals.
AT 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
the hour appointed for the inspec-
tion Of the Fire Department by the
City Countil, a large crowd of citi-
zens assembled on Alameda street,
near Naud's warehouse, to witness
the tests. The engines were drawn
up alongside the zaDjs, from which
the water was taken. The first
test was made with single stream
from each engine and then with
double streams. Both engines were

which they stood well, showing
that, in this respect, the Depart

quality of hose, the only drawback
being that the quantity Ia not SUI

recent fire. Altogether the tests
were most satisfactory and proved

Mechanic OF the Southern Pacific

of both engines and will present his

meeting on Saturday evening next.

A First. Rate Jersey Cow.
From the Springfield Republican.


The famous Jersey Queen COM s
from the herd imported by E. L.
Fairbanks 81 Co., and was par
chased, when only few days old,
together with her mother, by ID.
Harvey of Peacham, VT. She was
sold when nine months old to q
farmer of that town for $50 In six
months from that time she was
purchased by Asa Hoyt, a cooper
Of the same place. Mr.. Hoyt
owned her for several years. The
last year she was in his possession
he kept an attentive account of all
the butter and milk which the
Queen produced. AT the end of
the year he found that she had
made 746 pounds Of butter.
In 1879 the COW was resOld to
Josiah s. EMERSON of Barnet, VT,
for $1,000. Mr.. EMERSON chris
tened her the Jersey Queen, and
in 1881 he had an accurate account
kept of her milk and butter. She
has already produced between 500
aud 600 pounds of butter, and at
the end of the year her record will
pass 800 pounds.
Mr.. EMERSON has just sold the
Queen to A. B. Daring, proprie-
tor of the Fifth Avenue Hotel of
New York. for $4,000 cash. Mr..
Darling now owns the two best
cows In the world-Eurotss, whose
record is $50 pounds of butter in
one year, and the Jersey Queen,
whose record will pass 800 pounds.

Interesting Correspondence

From the subjoined correspond
ence it will be seen that our
charming csntatrice, Miss Mamie
Perry, has cense nted to give her
first performance in America in
this, her native city. Miss Perry
had hoped to make her debut here
in the Contessa d'Amalfi, the
opera in which the won such sig-
nal success on the occasion of her
first appearance ON the lyric stage
in Italy. With that OH ct in
view she entered into correspond
ence with an eminent manager in
San Francisco to secure the neces-
sary support for Il proper repre-
sentation OF the opera. That gen.
tlemap, however, after examining
the opera, informed her that, with
the limited stage aud scenic faoili.
ties afforded by Los Angeles, it
would be impossible to produce 1t
in this city. She was, therefore,
reluctantly compelled to forego
that idea and will, instead, appear
in concert, supported by our best
local talent, vocal and instrument
tai, a. date hereafter to be an-
nounced. The following is the
correspondence:
Los ANGELES, Jan. 8, 1882.
To Miss Mamie B. Perry, present:
The undersigned, your fellow
citizens, beg leave to assure you
that we very much desire to hear
you sing since your return from
Europe. We have heard with gen.
uine pie .sure and pride of your
progress iu your art in Italy, and
of your success before italian audi.
epces on the lyric stage. Although
we understand you have very fiat.
tering offers to sing In San Fran
cisco, we respectfully urge in be-
half of the entire people OF Los An
geles that you make your first ap-
pearance in America in this, your
native city. We appreciate the
great difficulties of presenting ope-
