How Love Makes Fools of Men.

A good while ago one of the cleverest
men in America paid lady of my ac-
quaintance deal of attention, and she
was delighted at the outlook. She had
grown tired of the ordinary routine of
love making and thought the introduc-
ticn of the new element of brains might
make this affair more tolerable than its
predecessors. There were several charm
ing evenings in mixed company, when
very tender things were said in very
bright fashion, and the lady began to
think there was a good deal of fun in a
filtration after all. The dear man get
on well, but before fate granted him the
opportunity of a tete-a-tete with his
flame, it called him TO neighboring city
and in mad hour he wrote, and he began
his letter in this style: "Does my pretty
one ever think of her absent sugar
PLUMP" That settled the whole busi-
ness. That nice plum might have gone
on ard distanced Ingersoll and Evarts
for wit and wisdom. She never read
one sentence more Of that long letter.
She gazed trausfxed at that first greet
ing, and she laid the closely. written
sheets on a blazing crate. and when
that man who had so good a chance ar
rived in town and called promptly, the
servant told him her mistress had left
word for Mr.. S. Plum that she wouldn't
be at home before the early part of 1887.
''But my name is not Plum," said the
bounced.
That's what you're called here" re-
turned the bouncer. you're the man"
So "they never speak as they pass by"
and the lady will never forget that SEN
tence:
"DOes my pretty ore ever think OF her
absent sugar-plum?" New York Mirror T.

A TRUE STORY.
ABBE KINNE.

.ybere is the baby, grandmammaE
The sweet young mother calls
p-nm her work in the cosy kitchen,
VIII its dainty whitewashed walls.
And grandma leaves her knitting,
And looks for her all around;
pnt not a trace of baby dear.
Can anywhere be found.
No sound of it's merry prattle,
No glean ofhs sunny hair.
No pstter of tiny footsteps,
No sign of It anywhere.
All through house and garden,
Farout into the field,
They search each nook and corner,
But nothing is revealed.
And the mothers face grew pallid,
Grandmamma's eyes grew dim;
The fathers gone to the village;
Mouse to look for him
And the baby lost! where's Rover?"
The mother chanced TO think
Oftbe old well in the orchard
where the cattle used to drink.
..wbere's Royer?" know he'd find her!
Royer?" In vain they call
Then hurry away to the orchard;
And there by the moss-grown wall,
Close to the well Lies Rover,
Holding to baby's dress;
She was leaning over the wells edge
In perfect feariessness!
She stretched her little arms down.
But Rover held her fast,
And never seemed to mind the kicks
The tiny bare feet cast
So spitefully upon him,
But wagged his tail instead,
To greet the frightened searchers,
While naughty baby said:
"Dere's little dirl in the 'ater;
She's dust as big as me,
Mamma; want to help her out,
And take her home to tea.
But Rover he won't let me,
And don't love him. Go
AWAY, you naughty Rover!
Oh! why are you crying soF
The mother kissed her, saying:
"My darling, understand,
Good Rover saved your life, my dear
And see, he licks your hand!
Kiss Rover" Baby struck him,
But grandma understood;
She said: Its hard to thank the friend
who thwarts us for our good:

Coles Circus.

Coles colossal shows are coming md
will exhibit at Los Angeles on Saturday,
Sept. 9th. Cole has the greatest show
now on the road, the public and press
both frankly acknowledging the surpass-
log excellence of his entertainm ents,
which exceed in extent and variety of
features anything heretofore presented
in the circus line. The exhibitions are
given ander mammoth canvas and the
srenic novelties, over sixty in number,
are presented in these rings and on m
elevated stage. The ring performances
retain all the old.time circus features,
such as tumbling, leapisg riding, etc.,
and offer such new and astonishing at
fractions as erial bicycling, performing
Arabs, Turks, Moor, Egyptians and
Spaniards; Mile. Aimee, the human fly.
who walks head downward upon n pol
ished plane of wood sixty feet above the
ground; roller skating, clown ele-
phant, sacred white elephant and a
performing white hippopotamus from
the Nile. There are one hundred cages
OF wild animals and numerous trained
animals. A better show could not be put
together. 1t pleases everybody and
places w. w. Cole at the head of tho
greatest showmen of the country.

Fertility OF Our Hills.

Mr.. J. w. Potts yesterday presented
the HERALD with specimen of plums
raised oa his lands on the hills in the
north part of the city. Part Of the trees
were irrigated once and part not at all,
aud the trees that were not irrigated
were in as good condition as the others.
The samples shown were the green gage,
very large and fine, the small sweet
French prune and the large crimson
Hungarian prune, all very valuable va
iieties of the plum family, and oil OF
which can be raised on our hills, and
yield profit of $500 per acre in the place
of rental of fifty cents per acre, which
used to be paid for the use of these hills
for sheep pasture. Mr.. Potts was the
first man to assert and constantly main.
tain the peculiar value of these lands,
and deserves great credit for his intelli.
gent courage IN establishing the great
commercial value of this kind of land, OF
which Los Angeles has so large share.
Who will be the next to excel Mr.. Potts
in cultivating our rich highlands?

Pinafore.

The Opera House was crowded last
night by the elite Of our people to wit
ness the representation OF Pinafore by
the Los Angeles Opera Company. acom-
pany composed of the best vocal anna
teur artists of this city. The mounting.
costuming and movement Of this operate
extravaganza were all highly creditable
to non professionals. and there were
some features of special excellence high
ly deserving of note. Miss Annie Wise
man in the character Of Josephine was n
surprise to us. She is perfect song
bird aud is the owner OF a soprano voice
of surprising sweetness, clarity and
power. All her registers are without a
flaw and we have rarely heard voice
which would so amply repay elaborate
training. As it is she displays evidence
of having subjected her naturally
delightful organ to considerable
discipline under experienced hands.
The young lady's marked per-
sonal attractions were enhanced by
toilets of exceptional grace and beauty.
The Little Buttercup" of Mrs. DIR.
Shoemaker was sung and acted capitally
and with marked soubrette talent. Tho
Hebe of Mrs. Mollic Crosby was viva
cious and charming, and the sisters,
cousins and aunts were oil thoroughly
drilled and up in their parts. The Sir
Joseph Porter Of Mr.. Harry Sherwoo
was both vocal and histiionic triumph.
while the Ralph Rackstraw of Mr.. A. G.
Bartlett found many admirers. The
choruses were good, the action was
smooth and rapid and altogether the
first evenings reproduction of Pinafore
was delightful experiences. There will
be two more evening performances and
matinee.

over the River.

Improvements on Boyle Heights are
proceeding in rapid manner. New
houses are springing up on every hand
like creations of magic. Mr.. Kullmer
is erecting a large residence on Boyle
heights, and Mr.. j. $. Chapman and j.
w. Hendricks are erecting elegant
houses on Soto street. Both of these
well known lawyers have held the office
of Judge of Lassen county, and now
each has come to Los Angeles to spend
the remainder of his days and will set
tie down as neighbors again in onr fa-
vored city.
The City Water Company is now plac-
ing an eight inch cast iron main along
the covered bridge to Boyle Heights,
which will increase the water supply
four-fold. What is now needed is O
large reservoir on the hill across the
river to supply the people of that rap
idly growing section, which already has
two school houses and is now obliged to
make an addition of two rooms more to
accommodate the demands for educa-
tional purposes.
A careful examination of the settle
ment shows that the population of that
locality has more than doubled during
the past six months. Such an increase
is most remarkable and shows how won
derfully rapid our city grows.

A Prospective Musical Treat.

Miss Anna Fuller, the young prima
donna from Philadelphia, has been PIE.
vailed upon to give some concerts in our
city at an early date. She will sing first
for the Orphans Home of this city. The
party of musical people who heard the
young lady last night at the residence OF
Mrs. Gibson, on Charity street, speak in
the most enthusiastic terms of her sing
ing. No such voice has ever been heard
in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Rich
mond, Va, and other Eastern papers
speak of her in terms of unstinted praise.
She has been the leading soprano Of st.
Stephens Church, Philadelphia, and has
figured in concerts and oratorios in the
leading cities of the United States with
great acceptance, extorting press tributes
which are rs enthusiastic as they are
discriminating. We are pleased to know
that our people will have an opportunity
of hearing this accomplished artistic.

Lenox Pleaus Guilty.

Yesterday, John LenoS, who muir
dered an Italian named Capetti, at New
hall, last month, appeared in the Supe-
rior Court and plead guilty before Judge
Smith. This dispensed with jury,
and the Court heard the testimony. At
the conclusion of the evidence Lenox
was found guilty of murder in the first
degree, and the Judge took the case
under advisement until next Thursday,
the llth inst, when he will sentence the
criminal either to suffer the death PEN
atty or to remain for the term OF his nat
ural life in the State Prison. 1t is un-
fair to speak of the degree of the Grim
inal's guilt at this time, but for the aged
father of the young man everybody ex-
presses the deepest sympathy. He can
not but keenly feel the terrible fate in
store for his son.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD: A
motulrning cotemporary published yes
terday bit of local political news con-
tanning about as much of the element of
truth as its news generally contains.
Speaking of the First Ward Democratic
Club it says; "a row occurred, and a
leading officer withdrew with all the reg
istrstion books. and refuses to be pla-
Gated. Meanwhile the Republicans look
on and are happy" There was no row.
A leading officer was deposed, and, al
though he did not carry away any books,
he did cut the roll of members out of one
of them. 1t may be added that the
"leading officer" referred to by our con.
temporary, like the man with boil on
the upper part of his leg, thinks his case
great public calamity.
