Poor old San Antonio A $776 hospital
is deemed sufficient for her needs.
How many sick persons do the city fathers

OUR need for an opera house is unquestion-

THE great land steal of the Texas Dem

gogues to stand on in the future.
THE temporary capitol is likely to prove

Legislators, from the just condemnation OF
the people they have robbed of all their pub

GOVERNOR IRELAND has something touch

but nothing to say about his International rail-
way grab, the largest and most inexcusable

In YOUNGER cities the residents occasion
ally hear of one of their number taking promi-

had one here he must have shaken the dust of
his feet years ago.

COOKING schools are becoming an institu

Vaccination is henceforth to be compulsory
in China. One cause for popular opposition
to it is that it is the practice there TO vaccinate
children on the tip of the nose. A reward of
half teal, which the government has offered
for every child vaccinated, has not been Suf-
fcient to persuade parents in easy circum-
stances to dis6gure their children in this way;
and a law has therefore been promulgated
Furnishing by fine and imprisonment the fail
ure to vaCcinate.

1t appears that the so-called memoirs OF
Madame Cornu, which the foster sister of Ma
poleon III. gave to Mdlle. Noemi Renan
shortly before her death, consist really of
some 200 letters written to her by Prince Louis
Napoleon from Ham and elsewhere. They
are not to be published at the date of the
coming marriage of Mdlle. Renan, for Madame
Cornu expressly stipulated that they should
not see the light until 1885.

The death is announced of Gottfried Kin

sentenced to Imprisonment for life for his con-
nection with the revolutionary movement of
IS4S, but two years later he escaped to Eng.

who has since risen to eminence as soldier
and statesman in America. Kinkel remain

ultimately he became professor in London

OUR PUBLIC BENEFACToRs.

II is an error VIC make in according the
highest positions in the inches OF fame to
warriors who have done noble deeds in battle,
to statesmen who have brought about changes
in government which have conferred ever
lasting benefits on people, to holy men who
have kept our feet in the paths of righteous
ness, to the scientists who unfathom for us the
seemingly holocryptc mysteries of nature and
make her workings as clear to us as the
crystalline purity of the MONDAY sunshine;
to none of these should be given our greatest
praise, but TO the quiet, plodding, unobtru-
sive citizens who, with the welfare of their
fellows atheart, brave public opinion, sacrifice
their own interests, sometimes meet with re-
buke from an ungrateful constituency while ever
devisng means for beneftting the populace.
Not infrequently such men die unhonored !;
their graves are unmarked, their actions I'M
sung. 1t is because of that reserve, that re-
firing disposition, that desire for an avoidance
of all public demonstrations in their behalf
which characterizes the really deserving of
fame that we seldom know of the inestimable
benefits we have received from them. But
occasionally newspaper, in the course of its
Investigations, learns how noble, how great
are the sentiments which inspire some
of these men, and then their names are
handed down to prosperity, to be ever
honored. Such pleasing duty the LIGHT
now discharges. There are men in our midst
whose hearts are as large as their heads and
that were no compliment to their heads, whose
heads are as large as their hearts, and these are
of such generous proportions that no other
quality need be ascribed. So the LIGHT draws
the veil and the countenances Of the. modest city
council become visible. They are our Public
Benefactors, for they are the men who
have given us handsome boulevards,
healthful parks, have beautifed our public re-
sorts of every description, have built up sys-
tenn of schools of which any city might be
proud, and last but not least, have adopted
plan by which we shall be furnished with
hospital comprehensive in DEMONSTRATION, fit
ted with everything tending to the comfort OF
our sick, and costing the large sum Of $776.

In the colony of Victoria every one is free
to describe his mode of faith as he likes, and
the census is therefore more interesting than
an ordinary blue-book. The residents in the
colony exceed the total of 500 OF this
number nearly 900, 600 are entered as belong
ing to the Church of England, while the
Roman Catholics amount 10 nearly 200, ooo

The late Emperor Alexander's dog, Ny
lord, well known in Russia, and who accom-
panied the Emperor in his various campaigns,
has Just died at Pau, at the Princess Dolgor-
ouky's hotel. The late Emperor was much

object of assiduous care, but he has died oil
old age. He was buried in the garden of the
villa belonging to General Gaillard. A tablet
in white marble has been raised over the
grave.

Last Thursday morning, while the
amalgamator at the Pioneer mill at
Hawley's station was taking nap and
waiting for quantity of amalgam to
pass through the process of retorting, a
man opened the retort, took the bullion
while twas yet hot and carried it off to
the river channel and buried it in the
sand. With the aid of some Indians
The bullion was traced and recovered
Last Thursday the amount of bullion
that was shipped through Wells, Fargo
& Co.'S Office at this station, from the
Providence mill, was valued at $4,000.
On the same day $4,000 worth of bullion
was shipped from the Pioneer mill, in
cluding the amount that was stolen and
afterwards recovered.
In the last issue of the Print we no.
ticed the attempted suicide of Laura
Smith, woman of the town, under pc.
culiar circumstances. The woman is in
fair way to recover, and has made q
most startling confession. From her
statement. which is credited, in fit of
dependency she resolved on taking her
life. A man named Atchison, who pre-
tends to be physician, assisted her,
and administered the poison, and prom
ised to poison her four-y year.old child
after she was dead. The villain has
been arrested.

A New Court House.

There appears to be deep feeling of
indignation against the Board of Super.
visors for taking no practical steps to
build new Court House. The city is
all the time crowded with visitors who
have leisure to look. around and amuse
themselves in various ways. Many of
these gentlemen are lawyers and judges,
who would be pleased to visit our Supe-
rior Court.rooms to listen to the legal
arguments of our bar and the rulings,
charges and decisions OF our judges, but
the accommodations are so incomplete
and SO uncomfortable that few visit our
halls of justice except jurymen, witnesses
and criminals.
Important lawsuits are great edu-
Gators. In them are gathered the ablest
legal minds with their fine powers OF
logic, penetration, deduction and ora
tory. No man of intelligence can fail
of gaining much valuable information in
a Courtroom. where great questions are
discussed by brave and able minds, and
evidence is sifted without fear or affec.
ton. 1t is an intellectual treat to listen
to the arguments and theories of able
lawyers, and the reply of those equally
able in attacking the statements and
deductions of their opponents. The truth
is between the opposing minds, and the
struggle of each side to establish the
truth Of their statements and the mn
truth of their opponents, is always inter-
esting and instructive.
There are able men in our Courts
whom it is pleasure and profit to hear,
but with our uncomfortable rooms and
wretched seating Accommodations the
people who prize such treats of mental
enjoyment will not attend. Had Los
Angeles spacious and comfortable
Court House, with gallery for specta-
tors, it would be visited by the learned
professions who are constantly visiting
our city and wish to learn the quality of
our bench and bar and pass away few
hours each day in mental enjoyment
without labor of their own to procure it.
Shall we ever have Court House that
we can point to with pride and satis-
faction?

UNITED STATES HOTEL
An Archaeological Discovery.

In portions of Switzerland are often
found smooth. flat stones, evidently
hand polished and covered with dots,
circles and half-circles. They are called
schaetestein, but their origin and use has
been an undecided question until recently,
when Professor kodiger, Of Bellach.
solved the problem. He says they are
vestiges of the time of the lake dwellers,
and that they are typographical charts,
which he proves by comparing them
with modern map of the country.
The dots express towns and villages, ac-
cording to size, the lines, roads, etc.
Even the fords and mountain passes are
delineated. The Professor has accumu-
lated enough of these peculiar stone
maps to form complete map of the
Canton Of Solothurn. 1t is complete in
every particular. If further proof were
needed, these interesting relics are in
variably found at uniform distance of
six miles apart, and at crossroads. The
discovery is an interesting one, in show
ing how the lake dwellers, who lived so
long ago, made their typographical
charts.
