A Relic of the Alabama.

A paragraph has been going the
rounds Of the papers lately that gem
tleman, whose name we do not recall,
was the possessof of the only relic Of the
Confederate steamer Alabama to be
found in the United States. To prove
that the writer Of the statement referred
to was not fully informed in the matter,
Mr.. P. Il. Benedict, OF Monte Vista, in
this county. yesterday showed us an
anchor carved from a splinter Of the
mast of the Pacific Mail Steamer Ariel,
which was shot out of the mast of the
latter vessel just before her capture by
the Alabama, in November 1862. Mr..
Benedict was then passenger on the
Ariel on his way to California and with
the rest Of the passengers and crew was
captured and held as a prisoner by the
Alabama for three days. After their re-
lease, Mr.. Il. H. Workman, who was
also. we believe. passenger, carved the
splinter into the form Of an anchor,
which Mr.. Benedict wore for several
years as a watch charm and which he
now preserves as a souvenir of the trip
and Of his having been prisoner Of
war on the famous confederate cruiser,
the Alabama.

Tardy Recognition.

The San Francisco Bulletin, of the
5th inst, in its review of the real estate
market throughout the State, makes the
following tardy recognition of the
.boom" in Los Angeles city and county :
0. +. Won Rhein has just returned
from trip through the Southern coun-
ties, and talks enthusiastically Of the
wonderful results of irrigation in that
section. He asserts that realty in the
city Of Los Angeles is booming to such
an extent that no property has advanced
less than 100 per cent within twelve
months, while much of it is changing
hands at yet larger advance. Resi-
dents Of that locality explain the change
from stagnation and decline to activity
and advance, by saying that for some
time there has been considerable influx
into the surrounding country, and into
the city itself, Of people from the East
and elsewhere. The opening Of the
Southern Pacific road was, doubtless,
also, an important factor in the new
career which seems to have begun for
the city and county Of which it is the
center.

An Important zanja.

just below the Also street bridge, a
dam across the Los Angeles river throws
the winter waste water into a fume
which runs under ground to First street,
whence it continues as a zanja for sew
eral miles down the west bank OF the
river. This year--although dry one
this fume has been full continually
since the first rains OF the winter, and
has supplied all the vipeyardists and
orchardists tributary to it with abund-
ant water for winter irrigation, besides
leaving vast surplus which runs
clear down east Of Florence to
Mr.. Remi Nadeau's big vineyard,
and has been used by him in thoroughly
irrigating 5000 acres of his land. The
vineyard is looking splendidly, and
Summer irrigation-when this zanja is
dry-will be unnecessary .Theswash and
OF the river, excited by
Jupiter Pluvius, burst nearly one hum
dred feet Of the dam on Sunday, but the
deputy Zanieros had it all in perfect op-
Grafton yesterday afternoon. As Mr..
Nadeau's agent was present, it is fair to
presume that be is irrigating yet, and will
continue diligently so to do, until the
supply becomes too small, which will
probably be month yet.

A Fishing Vessel Wanted.

California fishing industries continue
to go ahead with steady step. One Of
these is the Goldfish trade. 1t is but a
few years since that all Goldfish used in
Los Angeles came from the Atlantic side
of the continent, but now nine.tenths of
the cod used here are caught and cured
on this Coast. This year the catch will
be largely increased on account of more
capital and vessels being engaged
in the business. The California
fishing vessels are now the
largest in the United States,
and are doing well. They prevent the
high price that we used to pay for this
Invaluable fish in Los Angeles and
cheaper the cost of living in this part of
the state. The number of vessels in
the trade this year has been increased to
sixteen, which will probably bring in
more than enough to supply the coast
trade and will furnish the cities Of the
Mississippi valley with part of their
their supply. With smoother sea and
larger ships than our Yankee competi-
tors possess there is no reason why Cali
fornia should not be the greatest fish
producing state in the Union.
Los Angeles is now SO large market
for this valuable fish and our harbor at
San Pedro is now so much improved
that a fishing vessel from that port
would be most desirable addition to
the business of this city. There would
be here good market for all the fish
that one large schooner could catch, and
at better prices than are obtained in
San Francisco. Who will fit out vessel
from our port for the Goldfish ground

Magnetism, the New Source of
Health.

DIR. Edwin Robbins, the celebrated
Australian Electric and Magnetic Healer,
respectfully informs the public that he
has opened an office in the city of Los
Angeles. DIR. Robbins discards the use
of surgery, drugs, minerals and all other
medicines in his treatment and relies
solely ON the powers of magnetism. An
experience of several years in the Aus
tralian colonies, San Francisco, Salt
Lake City and Denver, in which places
he has treated successfully thousands of
persons, enables him to assert with con-
fdence that he can cure diseases which
have deiied the application of medical
science. Magnetism is the life principle
within us. The air we breath is charged
with it. 1t is the vital force emanating
from all persons and that which con-
meets the soul with the body. In sup
port of this theory he cures acute pains
instantly, local pains in few days, and
builds up the most shattered comrtitu-
tions in q short time. DIR. Robbins, who
has worldwide reputation for his ex-
traordinary cures of difficult and COM
plicated diseases, possesses power to
relieve and cure allkinds of disease. DIR.
Robbins diagnoses diseases free of charge

A Successful vigneron.

NJ. Emile Vache, Of Old San Bernar-
dino, was in the city yesterday
on business connected with his ex-
tensive vineyard and winery at that
place. When here the last time he was
not certain as to the quality of the wine
made last Fall from l,s00, 900 pounds of
grapes, it not having then fermented.
The wine has now, however, sufficiently
fermented to show that it is of the best
quality. and will bring fancy price il
nothing happens to prevent it. Nj.
vache is one Of our most experienced
rigaeroas and wine makers, as is his
brother and partner, Theophile, forming
tho old firm OF vacho Freres in a new
location. The brothers, besides their
own vineyard on the old Barton place,
purchase all the wine grapes raised in
San Bernardino and vicinity. So South
ern California grows.

A Lucky Pioneer.


We had the pleasure yesterday OF
meeting that sturdy pioneer, Joel G.
Leighton, of Newhall. He reports a
good result from the recent rain in the
saving of the late grain and in the secu-
rity of the newly planted trees and
vines. Joe has waited long for his ship
to come in. He used to prospect a
great deal over the mountains and des.
erts when times were dangerous, Indi-
ans plenty and water scarce. Joe dis
covered a rich silver mine in 1861, about
eighty-fve miles northwest of Mojave
Station, on the borders of Inyo and
San Bernardino counties, but owing to
the lack of facilities of transportation
no work was done. After seventeen
years he has relocated his claim, which
appears to be immense. The new rail-
way now being built by d. o, Mills from
Carson to Los Angeles will pass near
this mine, which will open Los Angeles
to the great mineral wealth of the heart
of Inyo county. Joe has fine samples
from three lodges, one Of three feet, an
other of six feet and another of fourteen
feet in thickness. which assays 5000 to
the ton, and yet Joe isn't proud. but
does his duty as constable in his town.
ship just as if be were not millionaire
in prospect. He calls his mine the Gray
Eagle.
The HERALD is firm in the conviction
that Los Angeles is to be great mining
center which will attract laage amount
Of capital from all parts of tho country
and promote permanent prosperity to al
industries.

Nearly an Accident.

An amusing incident on Main street
yesterday attracted crowd. Two
horses, each attached to single buggies,
were tied to the same post, facing each
other, when the halters got mixed. The
bay horse then stood up and tried to
climb on the gray, who soon followed
suit. Then they both fell down and
paved the gutter alternately, the whole
show lasting several minutes. The
strangest part Of it was, that neither
harness, horses or buggies were dam
aged, except that one Of the animals re-
ceivsd slight cut on his leg informliy.
The owners Of the rigs had narrow
escape from serious bill to pay, and
