EASTERN.
Designated for Examination.

WASHINGTON, July lS.-The Presi-
dent has designated z. b. Vance, son of
Senator Vance, of North Carolina,
Charles ?. Clay, of Kentucky, grand.
son of Henry Clay, and j. Harry Duval,
of Pennsylvania, to appear before the
Board, at Fortress Monroe, October LIST,
for examination for Second Lieutenants
of infantry. These, with the twelve
designated from civil life formerly, if
the examination is successfully passed,
ill all the vacancies existing in the army
to July LIST. In case these young men
fail to pass examinations, other designa-
tons will be made by the President.
Awaiting the strike.
New YORK, July lS.--A feverish feel
ing exists in Geographic circles over the
threatened strike. Every person inter-
estod is anxiously awaiting the result Of
the meeting of the Executive Committee
OF the Western Union directors. The
Committee of the Brotherhood held Il
meeting early this morning, but what
iranspired there could not be learned.
Cipher dispatches were received by the
Committee from various points, stating
that the operators are in readiness to
leave their desks at moments notice,
n Committee of Inquiry.
New York, July lS.-At the regular
weekly meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the Directors of the Western
Union Telegraph Company to-day, the
following was adopted; Resolved, That
a committee consisting of Ex-Governor
Cornell, J. w. Clendenin and john I.
Terry be appointed to inquire into the
complaints of inequalities in eompensa-
ton and condition OF service OF the EN-
ployees of this Company, II any, and re-
port to this Committee.
One of the gentlemen who attended the
meeting says the sentiment was unani-
mously in support of General Eckert in
his reception of the committee who
called on him to present memorial on
Monday last. The meeting did not take
cognizance of the fact of the petition,
since it was held that whatever COM
plants the employees of the company
might make must be made directly by
themselves to the company's officers,
The eWheatstone is system oil rapid
transmission Of business and news. 1t
has been in use many years in Eng
land, but is comparatively
new thing in this country. In.
struments will do nearly ten
times the business that can be done over
an ordinary wire. Should the Wheat
stone operators remain and the other
operators strike, the telegraph company
would have considerable advantage
through the use of this system. Mem.
bers OF the Brotherhood claim that near
ly all the Wheatstone operators will go
out, while the officers of the company
say that not more than two or three OF
the nineteen local employees and not a
large number of those elsewhere will
consent to strike.

Description of Christ.

The following epistle is said to have
been taken by Napoleon from the records
Of Rome, when be deprived that city Of
so many valuable manuscripts. 1t was
written at the time and on the spot
where Jesus commenced his ministry,
by Publius Lentulus, Goveroner of Ju-
dea, to the Senate of Rome, Caesar En-.
peror. 1t was the custom in those days
for the Governor to write home any
event of importance which transpired
while he held his office.
fi"Conscript Fathers: In these our days
appeared a man named Jesus Christ, who
is yet living among us, and of the Gen.
tiles is accepted as prophet of great
truth; but his own disciples call him the
Son of God. He hath raised the dead
and cured all manner of diseases. He is
man of stature somewhat tall and come
ly, with very ruddy countenance, such
as the beholder may both love and fear.
His hair is the color Of filbert when
fully ripe, plain to the ear, whence
downward it is of more orient color, curl
ing and waving on his shoulders; in
the middle of his head there is a seam
of long hair, after the manner OF the
Nazarites. His forehead is plain and
delicate; his face without spot OF
wrinkle, beautiful with comely red;
his nose and mouth are exactly formed;
his beard is the color of his hair and
thick; not Of length, but forked. In
reproving he is terrible; in admonishing,
courteous; in speaking, very modest
and wise; in proportion of body we'll
shaped. None have ever seen him
laugh-many have seen him weep. A
man for his SURPRISING beauty, excel.
ing the children Of men,"

How the World is Given to Lying

Judge Thos. H. Smith received letter
yesterday from lady in Kansas City.
Missouri, making some inquiry about the
yellow fever in Los Angeles, which she
had read about ia their local newspapers,
aud stated further, that some persons
were dissuaded from coming to Los An
geles, because they were told it was
afflicted with yellow fever. The people
of Kansas City and parts adjacent, who
are SO anxious to sell real estate that
they are obliged to lie about California
to keep people from coming here, are
informed that there is no yellow fever
here, and never was. 1t is not good
place for yellow fever, and our citizens
are at work, making connections, and
abating nuisances SO that the city will
have no foul air in which the fever
germs may float and flourish.
This infamous lie should admonish the
people of Los Angeles to look well to
the sanitary condition of the city, SO
that it viii be noted for cleanliness by
all who walk its streets or inhabit its
dwellings. Then we shall have thous-
ands to contradict these lies in all parts
Of the land. wherever they may origin
ate. Make the city model of cleanli.
ness, so that the thousands Of travellers
who visit us will point it out as the
queenly and cleanly Los Angeles. 1t
can and must be done.

The New Opera House.

Work on the Opera House is going on
rapidly. These warm, clear, calm, bright
days, are admirable for building pur-
poses, causing the mortar to set rapidly,
and affording the utmost comfort to the
workmen, who have all good elements on
their side. The frame work of the gal
lery is now in position, and also that
for the upper tier Of boxes. The rear
walls are nearly complete, so that the
lofty roof timbers will soon be seen far
above the surrounding buildings. The
arrangements for egress have been criti-
cised in some quarters, but an examina-
tion of the building, yesterday, showed
that ample facilities have been made for
egress by five different passages, three
in front, one on the north side, and one
10 the rear to Los Angeles street. These
make it the best appointed concert
room in the State of California. With
all these broad avenues of egress, the
building may be considered a model Of
safety and Of facilities for ventilation.
No details have been omitted to make
this building gem OF its kind. and a
central point Of attraction for the city
and country. Its completion will be
hailed with delight by the entire popula.

Murder at Las Cruces.

Last night at about o'clock, at the
saloon Of Manuel Hernandez, in the
town Of Las Cruces. in this county, Mau-
ricio Pinero, Chilanean, and Jose An
tonic Del Vale, who were engaged in a
game of poker, became involved in a dis
pute which was terminated by quarrel,
wherein Pifiero shot, and, as he says,
killed Del Vale. Pinero Immediately
started for Santa Barbara, where he de-
livered himself up to the Sheriff. This
forenoon, upon his own information, a
complaint was lodged against him for the
killing of Del Vale, and ne is held to
await the verdict of the Coroner's Jury.
Piiero's story, as given, is that they
were playing poker aud dispute arose
as to whether one owed the other dol
lar and half; that he saw himself about
to be attacked and drew pistol and shot
in self defense. The other side of the
story will come out at the inquest, no
further particulars being obtainable as
yet. Del Vale was young man, well
known in this city and Ventura.

Cactus Land.

II any of the readers of the HERALD
imagine that Arizona is all an unproduc-
tive country except for minerals, they
will be undeceived by turning aside from
the Southern Pacific Railway line and
explorihe the Salt River and other val
leys Of that territory. Some Of the finest
grain ever grown is raised in Arizona.
It is large, plump. smooth and bright.
OF this production the Arizona Citizen
says:
More land will be reclaimed and opened
up for cultivation in Arizona this season
than has been for the past three years
put together. About $S00,00 win be
expended for the year ending May next
in canals and irrigating ditches, which
will increase the agricultural lands in
the territory by 200. 900 acres. Our
California friends who have contented
themselves with the delusion that they
had a perpetual market for their
grain and fruits in Cactus Land" will
awake one of these fine mornings and
find that Arizona is not only supplying
the home market. but shipping both
fruit and grain to eastern markets. We
have the land and water to build up
two or three agricultural and horticul-
tursl districts equal to Los Angeles, and
II il folly to suppose that they will not
be utilized. The Salt River Valley
country has made greater advances in
agriculture in the past six years, than
did Los Angeles county, in the sixteen
years folio wing the admission Of Cali
fornia as one Of the States Of the Union.

Look to selrproseosion.

Col. Markham and Capt. Il. P. john
son, yesterday arrived from the King
mine and the Orc Grande mill, and re.
port the most excellent progress aud
prospects. Since the LIST Of March last
this mill has sent forward through the
farmers and Merchants Bank Of Los
Angeles, one hundred and eighty.five
bars of silver bullion. This WIS prsba-
bly, worth, At the present price Of bull.
lion, about $500, 900, but with free coin
age of silver, would have been worth
about sS67.000. A discount Of $87. 900
on eight and a-half months work, of a
it'll, l0-stamp mill, is pretty heavy
tax, and still the Secretary Of the Treas
ury would, II he could, still further de-
press the silver market by stopping the
coinage of silver. Such step would
be disastrous. There is not half enough
gold now produced to supply the do.
mand for coinage and for manufactures.

the circulating medium in place Of the
National Bank notes that are being re.

Opinions of the People.

Mr., War A. Weld, our popular U. s.
Gauger and farmer, has made q short
trip to Calico, andsreports great activity
in that camp. About 400 men are at
work, of which the King mine employs
about rs. He mentions the Humbug as
most promising mine, with 1000 tona
Of $50 ore on the dump. One blast in
this mine loosened $50 tons Of ore. He
thinks that is good humbug. and not
the other sort.
The Garfield mine shipped forty tons
Of selected ore, that yielded the enor-
nous result Of $35, coo, and 335 tons me-
dium, that yielded $4,000. There is
now on the dump 500 tons Of sl60 ore,
and $50 tons of low grade ore. Owing
to the absence of the officers of the
King mine, Mr.. Weld did not enter that
richest of all the mines at Calico, so far
as known.
Uncle Billy Raymond, the newly made
over millionaire, was very attentive to
MIR. Weld, and gave him much valuable
information about his Garfield and other
mines. One thing that struck Mr..
Weld very forcibly was the enormous
expense attending the transportation 10,
and the expenses Of reduction of ore at,
San Francisco. He thinks reduction
works should be established at Los An
geles without delay, and would be will
ing to take an interestsin such an estab-
lishment. His views are sound on this
question, and we hope to see them car
ried out. Capt. E. P. johnson thinks
that an excellent mill and furnace and
all appointments complete can be put
into profitable operation in Los Angeles
on capital Of $4,000. 1t would pay

loads Of raisins from the Orange depot
last Saturday, and sent two more yester.
day and to-day, all to San Francisco.
This firm are now pushing their raisin
packing business forward as rapidly as
a large force can do SO. It quite prob.
able that all their raisins will 20 to San
Francisco. Prices continue to appre-
ciate in the East.
We learn that San Juan is prospering
vineyards aud orchards, of which there
are numbers. growing finely aud yielding
bountifully. New plantations aud addi-
tions to old ones are being constantly
made, Five thousand gallons of wine
were made this year, and double will be
made next year. Among the substantial
improvements nearly completed is the
large two-story brick house of Mr.. Mar
COS A. Forster.
Mr.. Chandler has cleaned out his well,
which was filed up by the late explo-
sion, and has resumed boring operations
with good prospects. Mr.. Kennedy,
who was injured by the explosion, is
again at work, in charge of the drill.
Mr.. Turner has not commenced borirg
yet, but will probably do so soon. His
well is flowing slowly. On his last trip
he brought here two gallons of the oil
which he had dipped out.
We hear that Mr. Jesse Allen, of the
Newport district. has natural gas well.
The stream of water that flows from his
artesian well, though not disagreeable in
any manner to the taste, seems to be
powerfully impregnated with gas, as, II
a lighted match be applied to the water,
a sheet of flame will Immediately result.
We understand Mr. Allen will utilize
this gas by piping It into his house for
lighting aud heating purposes. The
character of the we'll was only discover
ed few days since by Mr.. e. NJ. Day,
who, out of curiosity, applied lighted
match to the water with the result above
stated.
We fully believe that the project so
long and persistently agitated and urged
upon the people Of this valley, namely,
the formation of an Agricultural and
Horticultural Society, is at last taking
detinite shape, and bids fair to be an ac-
complished fact. 1t is proposed to form
joint stock association, with capital
stock Of 800 900, divided into 500 shares
of $50 each. Already about so shares
have been subscribed, and sufficient
amount has now been secured to justify
Incorporation, which will no doubt be
speedily accomplished, and the associa.
tion put in shape to hold Fair next
year. 1t is proposed to buy twenty OF
forty acres of land about one mile east
OF town, for exhibition grounds, etc.

Total population .I.259

OF this population about half the fe-
males were squaws, the wives Of the
trappers and hunters. The present pop.
ulation Of that section of the Union is
about $50. 900 people.
The copy of Judge Smiths census re.
port is slip of weather-stained paper
about five inches wide and fifteen inches
long Oregon was finally cut down to a
corner of this great territorial quadran-
gle and admitted as State in 1857. The
territories were organized later. 1t is a
most remarkably circumstances to call to
mind the fact that one Of our citizens,
yet in vigorous manhood, once enumer-
ated all the white inhabitants and the
squaw wives belonging to them, amount
ing to about 1000 souls Of all ages. while
now the people number 10000. with
one State organization and four flourish
ing territories of large dimensions. 1t
would be good idea for cur Historical
Society to obtain this report from Judge
Smith and put it with the late census
reports Of that vast region. embracing
several large quarto volumes. History
is being made most rapidly on the west
ern slope Of the American Union.
