| Hldue ftllu On an opium ueH Ill Cnlna-
town last night and arrested the propri-
etor and an American, printer, and a
Mexican, both of whom were caught in
the act of smoking. They will have a
hearing before City Justice Adams this

Father Peter Verdaguer, we have
been requested to state, will give dinner
on the Fourth of July next for the BEN
eft of his free school, at which about
seventy boys of all nationalties are in
attendance. The school is doing great
good and it is hoped that our citizens
will give all the aid in their power to
enable Father Peter to keep it going.
Says the Arizona Miner. George H.
McDonough, General Superintendent of
the Cooperative Mail and Transporta-
tion company, one week ago met the
Earps at Albuquerque. He said to us
that they were well behaved, kept to
themselves and didn't seem to be wor-
ried over arrest or anything else. This
news of their whereabouts is perfectly
reliable
We again call attention to the large
collection of standard and miscellaneous
works offered at private sale by Mr.. A.
Roman at the auction house of Messrs.
| Northcrafts & Clark, corner of Main
and Arcadia streets. 1t is the best op-
portunity ever before offered in Los An
geles to secure a library of selected
books at almost ones own prices and
we would advise all to take advantage
of it.
In his last trip to Calico, Harrison
took out some Cinnamon, who wanted
to washee-washee for the boys at that
! district. They, however, are united in
their opposition to Arthur's views on the
Chinese question and used such forcible
language TO the Johns that they, con-
sidering discretion the better part of
valor, returned ON the next stage and
Calico knows the heather no more.-Saa

Mr.. Richard Melrose, of the Anaheim
Gazette, was in town yesterday, looking
we'll and prosperous. From Mr.. Mel
rose we learned with regret that Mr..
Benjamin Dreyfus, while on the journey
from Anaheim to this city, had been
taken i'll suddenly, and was obliged to
leave the train at Downey. We trust
that Mr.. Dreyfu7s indisposition will not
prove to be of serious character.
Arizona still continues to carry the
premium for rutiianism. Day before
yesterday Mr.. B. Wehrfritz, proprietor
of the Eagle saloon, Tombstone, and a
large real estate owner there, was as
sailed by one of the Tribolet brothers
(well known here) and so bad adly beaten
that his life was for while despaired of.
He has sued for S27, 900 damages and
Col Stanford, formerly of this city, is
his attorney.
We direct the attention of persons
seeking home places to the advertise
ment of the Highland View Tract, which
is offered for sale by Mr. G. w. Morgan,
sole agent. This is one of the most elig-
| IDLY located tracts on the market and is
provided with irrigation facilities. Per-
sons desiring to purchase land in villa or
farm tracts should call upon Mr.. Nor
gan, who will take pleasure in showing
the Highland View Tract.
Loco, the Chief of the Warm Spring
Indians, who is reported killed in Sono-
ra, was tall, well built Indian, but
imbued with all the superstitions of his
race. Last September his son died at
his village north of San Carlos. The
next morning he called promptly on
Agent Tiffany and requested permission
to kill the old squaw, who, he said, had
bewitched and killed his son. He was
very much disgusted when the Agent
refused his request and told him that if
he killed the old woman he would have
him hanged.
Peter Henderson says: If garden
seeds, when planted in the spring, are
firmly pressed when under the earth, by
the ball of the foot, at the time the
gardeners are putting them into the
ground, they will invariably grow,
drouth or no drouth; and what is still
more important, they will spring up
earlier and grow faster, and mature bet
ter, than any of their kind which have
not been subjected to this discipline.
This same rule of pressure holds good
in regard to transplanting trees, shrubs
and plants.
We learn from an official source that
Mr.. C. +. Smurr, who, for many years,
so ably filled the position of auditor and
freight agent of the railway company in
this city, has been appointed First As
sistant General Freight Agent of the
Central-Southern Pacific Railways and
branches, with headquarters at San
Francisco. This is deserved recogni-
tion by the company of the services Of
an able and efficient officer and is, we
know, but the first step in the line of
advancement that will soon place Mr..
