A Romance of the Sea.

Mr.. David B. Hurd, Of Cotton, who
was one of the sufferers In the catastro-
phe near Portuguese Bend, on Monday
night last, called at the HERALD Office
yesterday and gave an account of the
terrible accident that befel his party, an
account OF which has appeared in the
HERALD. II seems that in dense fog
the great earthquake swells capsized the
little yawl and plunged all four Of the
men into the sea, aud that the craft
then drifted into the breakers, which
rolled with terrible force over them.
Captain Cox was knocked from his hold
of the boat from time to time till his
strength being exhausted, the three COM
panions put him on the top of the over
turned boat and held him there till q
great wave dashed him of again, and
when they caught him he was dead.
They again put his body ON the boat
and kept it there till it escaped their
weakened and exhausting grasp and
sunk in the sea. After eight hours OF
battling with the waves, they reached
the shore, where Mr.. Hurd was unable
to walk, and was left ON the sand nearly
dead while Degner and Metcalf went
for help. When Hurd gained strength
to walk. he started out with his
clothing nearly torn from his
body, and with consuming
thirst from swallowing sea water, IN
search of help. After thirty hours he
found iisherman's cabin, where, with
tongue swollen too large for his mouth,
he made signs Of distress and was taken
care OF the best that could be done. Al
published in the HERALD yesterday, Dr.
Buchanan, of Wilmington, ives sent foi
and took charge Of the patient, who i'm
proved so much that he was able yester
day to come to the city, and has rooms
at the Pico House. His countenanct
shows great marks of suffering, and he
feels that he was rescued from the very
gates of death. Mr.. Hurd is a gentle.
man Of fortune, who has recently pur.
chased fruit ranch at Cotton, and we
trust will never more embark in q little
vessel on our usually peaceful sea while
earthquake waves are shivering across
the ocean, carrying danger and destruc.
tion in their train. This case will here.
after become memorable for its mournful
and terrible results, and can never be
forgotten by the survivors of the trip.

" Us Four. no More"

Competition seems TO be very lively
for obtaining real estate for sale, as ap.
pears by the notices set up around town.
One of the most remarkable instances
of this competition is illustrated on a
little city lot of 55 feet front. on Dow
ney Avenue. in East Los Angeles. 1t
bears four different stakes and signs, as
follows: "For sale by Riley, Graham &
Griffin" "For sale by Huff & Com
pany." s'For sale by t. s. Palmer"
s'For sale by Carr 4 Cook" From the
names it would seem reasonable that
there might be some bad blood about the
matter, in case any Of the high con.
tracing parties sold the little patch Of
real estate. II Palmer should push the
Carr of the track and sell IL he might gel
Cooked, while the second firm would get
"Huify" and the first firm would gel
"Riley." But this prospective war is a
long way of, because the buyer, when
he sees the number Of firms who hav
the lot in charge, will go back and forl b
between the four firms and the owner
seeking for lower terms, till the season
o. winter arrives. Let us have peace

Rabbit Growing.

A writer in the Rural Press gives par
ticular advice in regard to rabbit grow
ing, His laborcd article might do in
Massachusetts or in England, but how
to grow rabbits in Southern California
does not need treatise. All a man
needs to know about rabbits, and how
they grow, Is to plant vineyard or
orchard in some outlying suburb and
wait few days after the altilerilla has
dried up on the ground, and he will find
how rabbits and hare grow without cul-
tivation. A cultivation Of the orchard Or
vineyard is all that is necessary. The
rabbits will cultivate their race to the
amazement of the horticulturist and the
destruction of the vineyard aud orchard.
II will not be necessary to inquire what
diet they prefer. They will take every
grape leaf and the bark of the young
trees, and would eat gravel stones il
they could be made to believe they were
planted by farmer.
| After eating up the vineyard and
orchard the rabbits will become embold-
ened and help themselves to the vegeta-
bic garden and harvest the beets, mel
ous, squashes and sweet-corn. For
such purposes the rabbit is invaluable.
We have seen them prune vineyard
carefully for six years in succession SC
that the owner had no trouble prun.
ing, or gathering in a crop, but he had
enlarged views Of rabbit growing with.
out finding it in books and papers, and
never had the trouble of asking wha,
diet they preferred or what they wanted
to drink. 1t was only by a diet ol
strychnine and watermelons, and the at.
tendance Of pack of hounds, rein.
forced by shotguns that the rabbit and
hare tribes were induced to turn theil
attention to other scenes of activity and
usefulness. 1t was found that the rab'
bits raised by shotgun were tos much
for the market and could not be sold OF
even given away. Even the old ditty
about the rabbit skin to wrap the baby
up in" has failed, and brings no value tc
the hide Of the iepus caniculus.
If the correspondent of the Raral
Press will remqye from Carpentiria to
Los Angeles he can raise rabbits, with
a shotgun without going out of the city
limits, and without the expensive de
tails of fixing up hutch and putting in
oat straw for beds, and changing it every
day and packing alfalfa to the hutches
twice day. We do things differently
down here, and have enough to do to
raise the finest horses, cattle. hogs,
sheep, grain and fruit, without wasting
time ON rabbit growing which is an in
sufIerable nuisance that all good citizens
a-e trying to abate. Next humbug. to
the front.

ST. CHARLES.
Treed by a Grizzly.

On Monday last, our well and iavora-
bly, known friend, Mr.. G. Washington
Bluffer, while angling for speckled beau
ties in San Antonio Canon, was fright
ened beyond recognition by his most
intimate friends, by the sudden appear
ance of monster grizzly bear, which
made straight at him, and showed every
evidence Of q longing for a Canibal
feast. Bruin did not manifest the slight.
est inclination to spare anr friend, even
after George had tried to bluff q
Blufferl, by various gestieulations and
yells, calculated to rob her bearship Of
her fondness for gentlemen out OF town.
All attempts to frighten the brute away
proved vain, and every moment brought
her nearer, and showed the long, white
fangs and murderous claws, that would
speedily convert Washington into fish
bait, assorted sizes, unless he found
some means of immediate escape. which
fortunately stood near him in the form
Of q tree, up which he climbed in less
time than it would require to see that he
was the worst scared man in Cal. He
realized that unless he succeeded in kill
ing or binding the bear with his six
shooter, the small tree that supported
him, would soon be torn from the
ground. After shooting five times with
out effect. he steadied his nerves with a
few whiffs from a Tansill's Punch 30.
cigar, with which he was plentifully
supplied by Ball, at the P. o. Cigar Store,
and killed his prosecutor with his last
cartridge. jy3l-tf.

are we'll known restaurateurs, having
catered to this public for many years.

modelled, SO that to-day it is second to
none in Southern California.
They propose to satisfy their Gus
toners, il good. wholesome cooking
and cleanliness will do it, and, with this
object, have secured the services Of H.

joys the reputation of being one of the

Shorten the school Terms.

The Board of Education have it in
their power to shorten the school year
If they choose. 1t must be evident to
all the members that the schools should
not begin the fall term until the LIST of
October. The weather is nearly always
hot in September, and many families
wish to live by the seaside or in the
mountains until nearly October. This
week they have broken camp much to
their discomfort. in order to get their
children into school at the opening of
the term. This is folly. II not worse.
Children go to school too much. Nine
months of attendance at school in q
year is too much. Eight months would
be better for both teacher and pupil,
and by and by it will be found that four
hours per day for study are better than
six hours. It is time for reform in this
matter. We trust that these reforms
will be brought about next year.

The City Ju 70 Enioined from Pay

Ever since the creation Of the

tom of the incumbent Of that position to
pay over all fines and costs collected,
whether for offenses violative Of State
statutes or City ordinances, TO the City
Treasurer for the benefit OF the city.
From this source the city has heretofore
netted quite a handsome revenue, the
gain being all hers. while the county
has paid all costs that have accrued in
cases tried under the statutes. This
one-sided state of affairs, of which the
city has been the sole beneficiary, Dis.
trict Attorney White proposes to change,
and, to that end, he has served upon
City Justice Morgan the following no,
tice, in which that official Is enjoined
from paying over to the city any
moneys that he may collect on account
OF fines imposed for violations Of State
laws:
