A Mothers Devotion.

From the Boston Journal.
A very peculiar case Of a mothers deyo-
ton to her son, q maniac. has jtlss come to
light. About eighteen years ago q family
named Harrington moved to Portsmouth.
r.. L. Nearly four years after, q son, VIII
liam, then about q ,yearstof age. suddenly
disappeared. About three weeks ago tho
mother Of the boy died. Some Of the peo-
pie at her funeral heard a strange noise,
and on going TO a small dark room In the
attic found there's young NAN, having
scarcely any clothing. covered with hair.
The husband Of the woman told the follow
ing story: The young man, he said, was
his son, who had mysterionsly d~isappeared
80 many years ago. When about 2 years
old the boy became insane, and was soon q
raying naniac. The mother refused to let
him be taken from her, but placed him IN.
an attic-room. where at times she was cam-
PEELED to tie him. DINING al, these years
he had been confined there. nndth ms4her
was the only living person whom her son
had seen. She was accustomed { whit
him and feed him with her own hard, and
had jealonsly guarded hers secret nom the
neighbors, fearing that steps wen3d b
taken to tear the boy away from her. WyheiSs
she died her father attempted to follow her
example. but was mot equal to the task.
Young Harrington has been removed to the
Insane Asylum at Cranston, r,

The Bees and the Bears.

The latest applicant for membership
into the Sazerac Club comes from Santa
Barbara, where some gay and festive
hunters went out to hunt humming
birds and grasshoppers and found bee
tree, which they cut down, and helped
themselves to bucket of honey. After
taking it to camp and eating it up, they
charged its destruction to ants, instead
Of to ''their sisters, and their cousins
and their aunts," who were in the camp.
1t seems that there was only one bucket
full Of honey in the tree, but the hunters
reported an abundance OF hoaey that
only needed to be gathered il with a
bucket brigade. 1t appears that there
was mother-in-law in the party, who
had an eye to business. and who ordered
her son-in- law to return to the tree and
get more honey under pain of her high
displeasure and a broomstick. Under
these hopeful features and encourage
ments, the son-in-law returned in the
direction Of the tree, but came back
with the report that three grizzly bears
were in possession of the business and
mopping up the honey with tI.eir pom
derous paws. Each bear is supposed to
have eaten one hundred pounds Of honey,
$50 when he got there, the cupboard
was bare. and so the poor son got
nome" The truth moves us to say that
there are no grizzlies in the Coast Range
They are limited to the Sierra Nevadas
on the west. It is to be hoped that the
mother.in-law will not see this notice
and then go and brain the young man
for telling such whopper about bears.
Some heartrending scenes may be ex-
pected from Santa Barbara, when the
truth after being "crushed to earth
shall rise again" 0ut OF regard to the
distinguished ancestors Of the hunters,
their names are omitted. Tney may
be seen in tha list of candidates for
admission TO the Sazerae Society.

Change of Commercial Channels.

A memorable case of the great change
in the the products of Los Angeles coun-
ty is shown in the importation Of cattle
and horses. A few years ago a large
band of horses roamed over the rich La
guna Ranoh adjoining the city, where
now is wheat field Of 10000 acres,
while the horses were long ago taken to
Arizona and Colorado. Cattle and horses
were taken to Nevada, Salt Lake,
Denver. and Northern California
and Idaho. Now all this is
changed. Horses are imported into Los
Angeles from Northern California and a
large band of horses are now on the way
to this city from Nevada, and Others
will follow from Idaho and Montana to
supply our farmers with teams to use in
sowing their winter crops. In place OF
the expectation Of cattle from Los An
geles, we are importing our beef stock
from Tnlare, Kern and San Diego coun-
tres in this State, and from Arizona,
New Mexico and Texas.
Our lands that used to be
used for the grazing of cattle and
horses are now yielding ten fold more in
oranges, grapes and other fruit, alfalfa,
corn, wheat and barley, so that our
farmers can now better afford to buy
their horses than to raise them. Such
things regulate themselves after while.
The change at first is imperceptible, but
after the lapse of a few years they be-
come noticeable and important.

Attractions OF Travel.

1t is probable that daily train will
shortly be placed upon the new railway
line between Los Angeles and the East,
via the new route from Mojave to the
Needles, thence to Albuquerque, N. NJ.
Many wonderful curiosities are to be
seen on or near the line of this road,
which will be of great interest to our
scientists. The cave dwellers, the Zuni,
Moqui and Papago Indians, are all near
the line Of this road, while between Ash
Fork, which will be the terminus OF. the
branch to Prescott. and the capital Of the
territory. eau be found some remarkable
discoveries in the shape Of an exceeding
Iy strange petrfied forest. of miles in ex-
tent, and with crystallized trees, giving
the finest possible specimens of opals
and other precious gems for thelapidary.
1t is also stated that the hollow center
Of many Of these petri6ed trees is filed
with glitering quartz which possesses
more brilIiancy and other attractions
than any heretofore known. The an
tiquities in this section Of Arizona, are
equal in importance and interest to any
in the United States. to those scientists
who make this subject study. We
commend it to some Of our savants rs a
locality Of unusual SCIENTIFIC interest.

Storage BUSINESS In Los Angeles.

The largest warehouse in Southern
California, and one of the most capa.
cioas on the Pacific Coast, is the Maud
Warehouse, on Alameda street, man
aged by Messrs. Weyse Bros. & Co.
This massive structure contains 10000
sacks Of wheat and 20, 900 sacks of bar
ley, Of this years crop, which, with the
grain formerly stored, makes 100000
sacks on hand, or about IL, 900 tons. In
addition, from forty to fifty large teams
are arriving at the warehouse daily, av-
erag;ng eighty-fivo sacks each, which
will be daily occurrence for about two
months more, or an addition of 1000
tons to the $4,000 already ia store. The
wheat shipped to the Capital Milling
Company is all stored there, and dis
charged as fast as needed. In addition,
5000 sacks Of wool. weighing SIS tons.
About 1000 tons of miscellaneous
merchandise is also stored in this vas
structure, making total amount
of 24,S75 tons. About twenty
men are employed constantly to
place the grain and wool in
piles, which appear like mountains,
already reaching nearly to the roof.
Captain Henry, who has been superin-
tendent OF the warehouse since its COM
pletion, has resigned on account of ill
health, and will be succeeded by Mr..
George Hopkins, late former en-
pleye at the new depot. These facts
show another remarkable proof of the
business prosperity Of Los Angeles.

Tbs Quail Law.

The position taken by the HERALD
and supported by the people, that there
was no reason for protecting quail to
fatten for seven months of the year on
the farmers grain and fruit, seems TO
meet with favor from the entire farming
community. A fruit grower from Santa
Ana, in speaking on this subject, says
that the quail not only eat the grapes,
but that this year they have eaten up
and destroyed nearly all his apricots.
1t is needless to suppose that he will
not use his shotgun on quail before the
LIST Of October, for he will do it without
the fear Of Sportsman" before his eyes.
In fact the threats Of ''Sportsman" are
the laughing stock Of the grain and fruit
growers, who are the majority Of the
taxpayers of the county.
The farmers arc becoming aroused,
and these silly, selfconstituted sports
men will find a rough deal hereafter.
The farmers will forbid them from hunt.
ing on their grounds, as the Ontario
Colony has already done, and for every
man fined for killing quail out of sea.
son, a sportsman viii be put in Jail for
trespassing on other persons property
The writer in the Times, Of this city,
will have the whole farming community
after Fin by pursuing the enforcement
Of the Game Law. 1t never has been
enforced. and probably never will be.
The Santa Ana Standard had judici-
Gus article on this subject last week,
which was republished in these columns.
Our correspondent. "victim," seems to
hit the nail on the head every time.
The San Bernardino Times Of the Goth
speaks the sentiment in that town con-
csrning this law, as follows:
One Of 3he great inconveniences Of a
State with the extended latitude of Cali
fornia is that rules that apply to one
portion will not to another. We have
ia our one State, with its long extent
from north to south, and its various eie-
vations from the coast to the noun ntains,
q diversity OF climate and conditions
unparalleled IN any other section Of the
Union, yet the same laws are passed
by our Legislators to fit all these varying
conditions. This is especially true OF
the game law, which, while it may bo
eminentIy proper around and north Of
San Francisco, is not suitable at all in
Southern California, extending. as il
does, the close season to October lst.
Quail are matured much earlier in the
south than IN the north, and are so
abundant as to become o positive nuis-
ance. and in many parts of this and San
Diego counties they are the greatest
pest the vineyardists have to contend
with. Yet the game law made to fit
San Francisco conditions. makes the
killing Of these birds, before the lst Of
October, misdemeanor. OF course. in
Southern California no notice is taken of
it, and quail shooting has been going on
for the past week or two among our
sportsmen, who think il the season has
not opened 1t should have done so, as
the birds are fully matured, as much so
as they will be in the north in three
weeks from now.

AN IMPORTANT ARREST.
Deputy Sheriff Gard and Constable
Grimm Capture Three CATTLE
Thieves.

On Tuesday last an information was
filed before Justice Ling by James
O'Reilly, charging one Salisbury, Isidor
Ruiz and William Mace with having
attempted to run OFF band of cattle
from his ranch, near Ravena. The war.
raut was placed in the hands Of Consta-
BILE Griffin and Deputy Sheriff Gard, who
started the same evening for the head Of
Rock Creek, where Salisbury lived, and
where they expected to find his co-part-
ners in the attempted steal. Salisbury
they found at his cabin in the noun
tains, and the other two at Mr.. Palletts
place, large cattle ranch near the head
Of the creek. On Thursday evening the
officers placed their prisoners in
wagon and started for Ravena,
ninety miles distant, which they
hoped to reach in time TO catch the train
that arrived in this city yesterday morn
ing, but owing to their team, bronco
horse and small Spanish mule, giving
out, they arrived in sight of Ravena
only in time to see the cars go by, which
compelled them to wait at that station
until the arrival OF the south bound emf
grant, which brought the officers and
their prisoners to this city about7 o'clock
last evening, four hours behind time.
The would-bs cattle thieves are a
pretty hard lot, and, it is said, have been
engaged in several questionable transae-
tions before. Salisbury lives in miser-
able cabin at the head of Rock Creek
with an Indian woman as companion,
and has no visible means of max
ing livelihood. Ruiz, who is a
Mexican, we understand, claims
to have been member OF the Vasquez
gang, and to have partici .ated in the
exploits Of that notorious robber aud
murderer. During the attempt to run
off Mr.. O'Reilly's cattle, man ia his
employ fired two shots from double
barreled shotgun at Ruiz, one charge
killing his horse and two slugs from the
other going through his hat. The man
then entered his cabin to reload his gun,
leaving his mule at the door. Ruiz TAX
ing advantage of this mounted the ami
NAL and escaped. OF the history or pre-
vious exploits of Mace. we were unable
to learn any particulars, but believe that
he, too, enjoys rather questionable
reputation. The party are now safely
housed with Col. Jim Thompson, where
they will probably remain until their
cases come up for trial.
Constable Griffin and Deputy Sheriff
Gard report that the trip was most
fatigueing one, the heat being intense.
While they were in the mountains they
were subjected to three duckings from
regular old-fashioned summer showers.
Constable Griffin says the rain seemed
to come down like fash aud, while it
lasted, would "pour at the rate of an
inch minute" Both officers in this
matter have used commendabla energy
and have again approved themselves in
every way qualified for the important
duties Of their respective position.

EDITOR HARALp:-Will you kindly
permit me to occupy small space in
your columns in answering certain crit.
icisms of my course in the State Central
Committee which appeared in the Santa
Ana Herald of the 10 inst.
The Santa Ana Herald man wants
to know who instructed me to vote and
express myself as l did, and claims that
I misrepresented the people of Los An
geles county when said they had no
quarrel with the railroad company.
Before attending the late session Of the
Democratic State Central Committee /
consulted with the leading Democrats Of
this county, among others the Chairman
Of the Democratic County Central Com
mittee, Mr.. De Barth Shorb. who
fatty refused to call the County Central
Committee together to give me instruc-
tions, stating that he did not consider
that this section of the country had any
cause of quarrel with the Railroad Com
pany. also consulted with the Sem
ator from this district, who claimes that
the complexion of the Senate was such
that he did not consider it for the inter-
est Of the party to have an extra session
of the Legislature.
consulted with many of the leading
merchants and shippers Of Los Angeles,
irrespective Of politics, and they were
almost unit in expressing themselves
as perfectly satisfied with the attitude of
the railroad towards our county.
These were my views, and, backed by
the advice Of those with whom l con-
suited, consider that / acted both for
the best interest of my party and the
sectionI represented.
AT the same time had resolution
censuring Humphreys and Carpenter
and approving the course of w. W.
Foote, been introduced should have
voted for il, which fact stated in open
meeting--if the Democracy OF this
county is not satisfied with my course /
will resign, should be called on to do
so. Should the editor Of the Santa lAna
Herald desire the names of the ship
pers with whom l consulted, be can
have them by calling on me at my place

The subjoined news items are from
the Santa Ana Herald Of this date:
In few weeks the building of the
Newport packing factory will commence,
and about the lst of November the hog
slaughtering season commences.
The first geese of the season were
killed this week on the San Joaquin, by
Mr.. Besonette. The early advent Of
geese presages the speedy opening Of the
rainy season.
Oa Thursday Cauldwell & Co., of
Orange, forwarded one carload of grapes
to Chicago, making the eighth. They
have their sweat house finished. A
large force of men are picking grapes.
On Tuesday Sacramento firm, repre-
sented here by Mr.. A. Guy Smith, Tor
warded one carload of grapes East from
this station, and another was sent Thurs.
day. They will ship two more next
week.
The assigness Of B. F. Seibart have
so far paid all the largest deposit
ors, the total amount disoursed being
about eight thousand dollars. There
are few small depnsitors who have not
claimed payment of the first dividend
as yet, which is ready to be paid to them
at any time.
Following are the exports from the
Santa Ana depot for the week ending
September 2lst: Eggs, Is cases, 1880
pounds; green fruit, 81 cases, 2I30
pounds; California wine, 20 pipes,
2S,000 pounds; grapes, three cars,

Mr.. w. B. Forsythe, of Orange, re-
turned home last Sunday, from the
East, whittier he had been in the inter.
est OF Cauldwell 4 Co. He has estab-
lished connection in Chicago with a
firm who will do the handling Of oil the
fruit sent by the firm here. Mr.. For.
sythe says the shipments so far have
been satisfactory, and his firm will con.
tinue right along in the Business. He
says that Flame Tokay and Black Nor.
rocco are the favorite grapes, and there
would be no limit to their sale, at good
figures. There is an Eastern deman
for pears, plums, prunes, and large, fine.
looking peaches. Our horticulturist
should take the hint thus broadly con-
veyed. II they do so, profits await
them.
About eighty feet Of the submerged
dam has been constructed, the progress
being two feet day, which, it has been
calculated, could be increased to six feet
a day by the use of steam engine. The
Superintendent estimates that two heads
of water have been developed. The main
body Of the subterranean water is
thought to be about two-thirds Of the
distance across. Borings four feet up
on the northern bank have struck clay
at depth Of twelve feet, and further up
the stream well sunk indicated the
same formation. The expense for labor
Of employees at the dam is about 81 a
day. outside Of the Superintendent, who
is regularly employed by the company,
There seems to be no doubt but the dam
will prove o auacess, developing and
bringing 10 the surface a large body Of
water. All indications point to this
result.
