The HERALD has advocated the con
struction of enough new sidewalk on
Commercial street to make decent
highway to the depot, and has stated
the entire distance, including both sides
OF tho street, to be but $40 feet. Requena
street, which is not one.tenth as busy as
Commercial street, and parallel on the
south. is in fine condition, while First
street, the next through thoroughfare, is
also easily travelled, so that our most inn
portant street in that part of the city re-.
mains an eyesore.
Attention is directed to the card of
Messrs. F. H. Rogers & Co., of the Solar
Art Gallery. These gentlemen by the
excellence Of their work have already
won for their gallery reputation that
is not excelled by that of any other pho
tograph establishment on the coast. In
order to accommodate their constantly
increasing custom they have been COM
pelled to open q branch gallery at No.
l5 First street, where specimens Of their
work, embracing portraits, landscapes
and every description OF photography
can be seen.

Thanksgiving was more generally OBJ
served as a holiday by our citizens than
we remember to have seen it during our
residence in Los Angeles. The services
at all the churches were we'll attended,
particularly the union services of the
several Methodist congregations of the
city held at the Fort-street M. II
Church. BY noon all the stores were
closed. In the afternoon, Judging from
the empty appearance of the streets,
everybody seemed to be either enjoying
the bright sunshine and balmy air by
driving in the country or returning
thanks in the home circle. Altogether,
1t was the quietest aud, apparently, the
most thoroughly enjoyed holiday we
have ever seen ia Los Angeles.
On the fourth page of this morning g
HERALD will be found the advertisement
Of Dr. Fl. Robinson. optician and opera
tor on artificial eyes, DIR. Robinson is

Los Angeles for the benefit of his health.
OF his skill in his profession the papers
of that city and Fort Worth speak in
tho highest terms. Referring to his de.
parture for this city the Waco Examiner
says Dr. II. Robinson and family leave
on this evenings Missouri Paoific train
for their new home in California. They
have great many friends here who will
regret their departure. In business cir
eles DIR. Robinson is highly esteemed.
He still maintains business here in con.
ueetion with the well-known house of
Carter L Williamson and DIR. Moncure.
Three crystalizations OF rare beauty
were displayed on "Bob's" handsome
counter yesterday. That enterprising
caterer had taken fruit, flowers and
ferns and had caused them to be sus-
pended in the artificial ice-making ma
chine with the result OF encrusting
them to depth of several inches with
the transparent compound. The freez-
ing process resulted in many faneifal
forms and color effects which are pot
down in the forists' books. The effect
was novel and fanciful in the highest de-
gree. Garish flowers shone with even
added brilliancy. while the ferns and
fruits were held in an 10y embrace in the
most artistic manner. The blocks OF ice in
which the dainties were imprisoned were
about ten-inch cubes. 1t Is supposed
that these unique ornaments will hold
their consistence till Tuesday next. Had
it hot been for the excessively warm
weather they would last even longer.
