An Anticipated Axiom.

No man can serve two masters. II you
dissipate you suffer for your indiscretion in
every way; If you lead a sober and quiet
life YOU have your reward in clean heart
and a solid body. The average man don't
care pin for a sermon. However, this is
merely moralizing. Ii he wants to dissipate
he will do so ia spite of all opposition. If,
as a natural result OF his imprudence, he be-
comes dyspeptic or has attacks of bilious
ness or sick headache, he has sense enough
to take Swayne's Pills, knowing that they
will work speedy relief.

AN OLD Battlefield OF THE
PLAINs,-Two miles from Mandan has
been found vast burial ground of
some prehistoric age, which embraces
fully one hundred acres, and is filled
with remains of some giant race. The
ground has the appearance of long
trenches filled with bodies, horses pot
terry, etc. The pottery is of dark
material, beautifully and delicately
finished, and as light as wood, show
ing the work of a people skilled in the
art, and in a high state of civilization.
The burial ground is evidently the
scene of a grand battle, where thous-
ands of men and horses were slain,
and marks the resting place of some
prehistoric nation. An old Indian,
on being asked who they were, said
he knew nothing of them; they were
there before the red man.-Fdrgo Ar

The Public School Question.

Hon. Zach. Montgomery, the author
of drops from the Poison Fountain,
and other publications, will address the
people of Los Angeles on the question
of popular education ON Thursday night,
on thesCourt House sters on Main street.
Mr.. Montgomery takes the ground that
s'the State does not own the child, and
should not have the care Of his or her ed
ucation, but that the parents should be
the authority over the child in matters
Of education, and prescribe what shall
be learned and what left unlearned. :"
With this proposition, which we have
stated negatively, as his basis of argu.
ment, Mr.. Montgomery attacks the pub
lie school system. and charges that it is a
fountain of human misery and moral
death, and brings facts and figures to sup
port his proposition. While he does not
believe in illiteracy as source of happi-
ness, he declares that the system of pub
lie instruction is more prolific of crime
than illiteracy itself. This is bold stand
to take, but Mr.. Montgomery has no rev.
srence in his makeup for traditions on
this question. There can be no doubt
but that half the school books which are
forced upon. children. are the result of
combinations OF book publishers, and
that the children and the State would
be better off if half our text books were
burned up. They are poor but expens-
i've trash, only fit for the flames. The
advocates of public instruction will now
have chance to dispose Of the doctrine
of Mr.. Montgomery If they can.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1883-07-25
Plums and Prunes.

The manager Of the Cotton Cannery,
Mr. Wright, is attempting to discourage
the planting Of prunes in Southern Cali.
fornia, ON the ground that they do not
yield well. However that may be at
Cotton, it is not true in this part Of the
State. The prune grows to perfection
all about Los Angeles. Mr.. p. Potts,
of Tustin City, has presented the HER
AID Office with little sprig taken
from "Petit Prune" tree in his
orchard. The branch is mere twig
eight inches long, about the size of a
wheat straw, and contains ten good-sized
prunes. This tree commenced to bear
at three years Of age and has borne
steadily overy year since the first crop
A good feature about this French
prune is the fact that when ripe the
fruit will drop off and dry in the sun
without any care or cost. A little straw
spread under the trees will keep the
ripe fruit from becoming soiled with
earth. Some parties spread old gunny
sacks under the trees to serve the same
purpose, and on these the fruit will
sometimes dry completely without any
care. The corners of the sack can be
gathered up, and all the fluit lying upon
it can be gathered in moment. Dried
prunes are always salable aad yield a
rich return for the labor and expense
bestowed upon them.
In an article in yesterdays HERALD
appeared notice of specimen limb
from damson plum tree, raised by Mr..
j. w. Potts on the hill, near Reservoir
No. 4. The branch was twenty inches
long and contained fifty-six plums. Yes
terday Mr.. j. NJ. Thomas, of East Los
Angeles, brought to the editorial rooms
of this journal the premium branch of
plums grown in adobe soil in his garden
on q tree that bears every year heavily.
The branch on length of eight inches
has forty-four large and luscious dam
sons, about twice the size of the same
kind grown in the State of New York
The trees that bear such plums can be
planted at the rate Of sevesty.fve trees
to the acre, and yield from 200 to 250
pounds per tree, while the fruit will
bring about five cents per pound. max
ing 500 per acre. The tree is easily
cared for and requires but little irriga-
ton, while the psofit is certainly enor-
nous. AS we said yesterday, who will
plant large plum or prune orchard?

The Ella Barrow Rape Case.

The hearing of testimony in the case
Of the People VS.. Andrew Hay, charged
with rape OH oath of Ella Barrow, which
has been on trial in Judge Sepulveda's s
Department of the Superior Court for
the past two days. was concluded about
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. District
Attorney White opened for the prosecu-
tion and made an exhaustive review of
the evidence, lasting fully an hour
and a-half. His argument was pro-
nounced by all who heard it one of the
ablest forensic efforts that has been
heard at this bar for years. At its con-
olusion the Court took recess until
7:30 o'clock.
J. On the re-opening of the Court, H. 7.
Hazard, Esq, opened for the defence
and spoke until IL o'clock, making an
able effort for the acquittal of his eli
ent. He was followed by H. T.
Gage, Esq; who made forcible
review Of the testimony introduced by
the lrosecution. claiming that the coun-
sci for the people had utterly failed to
bring the crime of rape home to his
client.
Col. G. Wiley Wells made the closing
argument for the prosecution, and for an
hour and half held the jury and the
large audience present in closest atten-
tion by his eloquent and convincing pre-
sentiment of the case. After lengthy
instructions from the Court on all the
points bearing upon the crime of rape,
the jury. at ? o'clock this morning, re-
tired to deliberate upon verdict. At
2:40 the jury was locked up and the
Court adjourned until the usual hour
this morning.
