The Anaheim Gazette says Of the re-
cent water suits: Two suits against the
Anaheim Water Company have been
brought by Prudencio Yorba in Judge
Freeman's Court in Santa Ana. The
suits are each for 5000 and sos attor.
neys' fees, making in all $780, The
complaint alleges that by reason of seep-
age from defendants ditch some valua-
BILE pasture land has been made unfit for
use, and that he is damaged in the sum
claimed. The company offered Mr..
Yerba $50 in payment OF the damages,
which he refused to accept. The COM
pany does not deny their liability under
the contract of right of way, the only
question involved being the amount Of
the damage done.
There has been some alarm sounded
about the shortness of water in the No.
4 Reservoir but an examination shows a
oarelessness in the use Of the water, that
should be stopped. A reporter Of the
HERALD has visited the reservoir in
question, and found that there is more
water let ont of the gate than the ditch
and fiume below can carry, aud conse-
quently the water runs to waste in large
quantity. just below the Temple street
road the water pours over the fume in q

Autograph Entertainment.

We acknowledge receipt of an invita-
cion to the Autograph" entertainment,
to be given by the Los Angeles Band Of
Hope, Tuesday, July 3lst. The object
of the entertainment is to raise funds to
enlarge the Good Templars Orphan
Home at Vallejo. All good citizens
should assist in making this financial
success, as the orphans cared for in this
institution would otherwise be thrown
upon the State for support. only seven Of
the one hundred and fifty now in the
Home being children Of Good Templars.
This promises to be one of the best
children's entertainments ever given in
the city, and will be well worth fifty
cents. The receipts should be large, for
though admission is free TO those holding
Invitations, no one will care to deposit
less than twenty-five cents with his
Autograph, " and many will give much
more. The Invitations are enclosed in
neat envelopes addressed to the Band, so
that those desiring to donate freely will
receive proper credit, and those unable
to attend may send their donation
through the Postoffice.

the east end of the covered bridge, on
the east side Of the river, he fell frorl

him senseless, so much so that he was

A Mysterious Case.

The story Of the boy Joseph Swall, as
it appeared in morning paper, yester-
day, is very incomplete. There are
many other elements in the case. 1t
appears that Mr.. Swall. who lives on
the Brea rancho, had had man named
Joseph Wolf at work for him, and on
Tuesday came to town with him and
paid him off, While Swall was here his
son, | / years old, took one of his fathers
mules, and shotgun and case, and set
of fishing tackle and came to town, where
Wolf took the mule and departed.
About the same time the wife of man
living near Swall also departed. The
boy stopped at the Strasbourg House,
opposite the old depot. Here man
named Wallace, just out of afservice OF
l04 days in the chain gang, met the lad
and got him to take walk to see the
town. When they had got out little
way, he told the boy that
he was Deputy Sheriff, and
took the lad in charge, back
with him to the Strasbourg. Officer
Fletcher saw him with the strange boy,
and watched his movements. With his
uniform disguised he got the boy aside
aud obtaiued the story of the mule, and
the attempt of Wallace to arrest him in
order to get possession Of the gun and
tackle, which he had in his possession
at the hotel. AT this time Wallace
came into the room and told the boy
that he wanted him. In moment
Officer Fletcher arrested Wallace
and took him to the Police office, where
he was discharged on the ground of in
sufficient evidence. He at once gave leg
bail and left town, while the boy and the
shotgun remained at the Strasbourg.
Yesterday Mr.. Swall came to town to
find his boy, gun and mule, and
his neighbor came also to find his wife,
but all that was left was the boy and the
gun, while the wife, mule and man Wolf
are among the mysterious missing.

Satellites of Beauty.

at is curious aud striking fact, "
says an Eastern correspondent, "of
which intelligent men take notice with
a mixture OF envy and jealousy, that
women of high culture and endowments
so readily accept the attentions of fash
ionable boobies. l once asked charm
ing miss, who was no exception to the
general rule, the meaning OF this, when
she replied that ladies were fond of re-
ceiving attentions, and so long as they
got them they were not SO particular as
TO the source they came from. Be
sides, said she, however excellant men
OF sense are as husbands, they make
very Indifferent beaux, they are SO
dreadfully earnest in what they say and
do, overpower you go with their sense,
that it is a great relief to turn to one of
these more amusing trihers.' well, said
|, little nettIed by this explanation, If
sense is so little appreciated, teach me
to talk nonsense, that | may make my
self more agreeable to you.' Oh said
she, you are doing that very well al
ready. But seriously, added she, the
greatest objection to sensible men, next
to their being so few in number, is that
they prefer to be the slaves of their own
whims rather than of ours, A man OF
sense enthrones one among us as the
queen Of his affections, and restricts his
attentions to her alone, while every one
of these 'dawdlers, as you call them, is
the loyal subject of at least dozen, who
however, never permit him to approach
their throne but to bow before and bear
away their commands

Got the Rest.


While the HERALD has advocated the
making of good roads in town and coun-
try, it does not stop there in the line Of
permanent public improvements, but in
tends to urge the necessity and fitness Of
making large, spacious, and beautiful
Court House that shall be safe and
commodious place for the valuable
archives of the county In the State Of
Indiana every town that was laid out
had large lot of five or ten acres
located in the center Of the place for
Court House. The space was so large
that the archives were never in danger
of fire from the surrounding buildings.
There was also rows OF trees planted
all round, which were intended to pre-
vent the blowing of shingles on fire,
from burning buildings, on to the roof
of the Court House.
The largest space that it seems like
ly to get now for Los Angeles is the
Stephens lot, on the corner of New
High and Temple streets. In addition,
we need large and commodious City
Hall, and may as well be getting to
work on it as soon as harvesting is
over.
Another permanent work that should
be made is the putting of names on the
street corners, in q neat, permanent
manner. The matter Of marking the
street corners has been ordered by the
City Council, and given out at low
figure, which necessitates doing the work
in very cheap and perishable manner.
There is deep complaint at the way the
work is being done. 1t is the COM
monest kind of work, at very COM
mon price. This is all wrong. We
have passed through the 'cheap-john, y
"make-shift" age in Los Angeles, and
can afford to do all things well, even if
it does cost something.
Los Angeles is now SO well known
that all who come here expect to see
everything beautiful and substantial.
They do find some things beautiful,
orchards. gardens, flowers, churches,
dwellings and some of our mercantile
and public buildings. But that is oil.
Our streets are badly numbered, some Of
the sidewalks are dangerous and have
been ordered torn up by the City Coun-
Gil, but the owners Of the adjoining lots
care nothing for the Council. They
have made That body eat its words for
six months past, and allow them from
month to month to retain the rotten
rattle-traps, which are dangerous nui-
sance. What other city would permit
such state of things! In marking the
corners of the streets in the outer por.
tion of the city, very cheap system has
been adopted. that should be at once ar
rested and more beautiful and perma-
nent system put in its place. The little
gride marks that are being used in some
places will be used as picket stakes for
mules aud broncos, and soon be scat
tered around the country by these ambi
tious quadrupeds.
This is all wrong. We can richly af-
ford to do all things well. Let Los An
geles be made beautiful and attractive in
all her appointments.
Give us good asphaltum sidewalks,
clean cutters, shady streets, well mum
bered and marked on the corners, SO
that he who runs may read. The best
is none too good and the best is what
we want. Los Angeles is to be the
great city of the Southwest and should
set an example of doing all things well.

walking. gentleman tucks his large
handkerchief closely inside his collar,
leaving the corners outside the coat, and
thus preserves some of the glossy ap-
pearaace of his linen. The cuffs are
also very conspicuous, as they are made
very large and allowed to slip so far be-
low the long coat-sleave that the knuck-
les OF the hand frequently disappear,
in spite of the continued act of the
wearer stretching out his arm to its full
length in the vain endeayor to leave the
hand more free for action, and expose
TO view the enormous seal ring that is so
universally worn by the upper classes.
Shopkeepers seldom wear coats,
and in great majority of cases
the vest, too, is wanting. Among
the commonest out-of-door laborers
the only clothing is hat and
pair of Iants, while the washer-women
ply their trade in nothing but q calico
petticoat. The genteel Indies of Brazil
follow Paris fashions in dressing, though
but few OF them ever wear bonnets.
Many of them have very beautiful hair,
which they arrange in becoming styles
and decorate with natural flowers,
which are most frequently placed by all
classes Just above the ear, like busy
clerks pen. This fashion is, OF course,
much more convenient for those dark
hued ladies whose short wool makes the
ear the only safe resting place for a
flower, but ladies with beautiful hair
choose to place the flower where the
delicate petals will brush the swarthy
cheek. In North Brazil there are no
professional dressmakers. The finest
ladies usually make their own wretched-
ly-iiting costumes and the most of
lady's wardrobe is purchased at home
from the ever-present peddlers walking
about the streets of every city in the
empire.
