ELECTRIC llCHIlNG,

As kerosene succeeded the tallow
dip, and as gas succeeded kerosene,
50 is electricity succeeding gas, and
it is now considered rs a fixed fact
that electricity will furnish the light
of the future.
The Chaflcy Bros, were the first to
introduce electricity into Southern
California for lighting purposes.
When Etiwanda was first put upon
the market, this cnterprising real
estate operations on the Pacific Coast
announced to the world that they
proposed to establish the electric
light in this new settlement. The
announcement was such departure
from all former presidents, so origi-
nal and bold that some laughed,
others disbelieved, while Others were
struck with astonishment and knew
not what to think. They argued
that under the favorable circum-
stances of that locality, electricity
was cheaper than either kerosene or
tallow dips and therefore why not
use it. The main expense of cleo
tricity under the Bush system is the
power to drive the dynamo. Ell
wanda had 200 inches of water that
had fall of 500 feet inside of three
miles; what was to hinder piping
this stream for q short distance and
getting power to run dynamo large
enough to furnish lights to every i'll
habitant of Etiwanda? Why not.
sure enough!
With no blowing of trumpets TO
announce this new departure the
water-power was harnessed, the
dynamo was purchased, an electric
tower erected, large wires were run
down for the dynamo above the
reservoir to the arc lamps (threc of
them) on the mast and at Mr..
Chaffey's residence, and on the 18th
day Of December, 1882, the power
was turned on, and the light from
the first Brush lamp was shed over
the plains of Etiwanda, then an
almost uninhabited tract Sometime
after this the first light was put up
in Los Angeles, which city is now
one of the best lighted cities on this
Coast
TfTe electric light at Etiwanda was
put in according to promise, and
the near future will witness the full
fillment of the promises of the Chaffey
Brothers at Ontario on this subject,
and moro too.
The light at Etiwanda can be fur
nished for nominal consideration
At Los Angeles large steam engines
have to run at heavy expense. Here
at Etiwanda the power costs nothing
except the grease to keep the ma
chinery in order.
Etiwanda can afford to have 4
mast and electric light at each street
crossing in the settlement, and as
soon as the strong battery can be
had foruse, electriclight can be placed
in every house in the settlement,
entirely dispensing with the use of
kerosene. -Pacfc Coast.

Great events from little causes
spring, as we are all aware, but if q
diplomatic rupture ensues between
France and Spain, because of the
disagreement between the French
ambassador at Madrid and the Gus
toms officials Mt Irun, the saying will
be eXemplified in very striking man
ner indeed. The Baron DIES Michels
was returning to Madrid, and his
train stopped half-an-hour at Irun,
The Baron got out, and for some
reason-perhaps he wanted to admire
the surrounding country, perhaps he
had other views-hc took short
walk in neighbouring field. But
the proprietor of the field was no
respecter of ambassadors, and or
dered the Baron off. The Baron
demonstrated, the argument grew
warm, and finally he punched the
irate proprietor's head. AT this point
the Customs officers appeared on the
scene and espoused the cause Of their
compatriot. The Baron was hustled
into the train, vowing vengeance on
the officials, and went on to Mad
rid. Arrived there, he demanded
that the Customs people should be
dismissed; but his request has been
refused, and it is said that his recall
has been required by the Spanish
Government. Who is right it is per-
haps difficult to decide. But to any
one who has had the misfortune to
meet with Spanish Custom-house Of
ficers, it will doubtless appear i'm
possible that these gentry can be
otherwise than in the wrong. Life.

Wesson's "Booms."

To the Editor of The BrooKhaven Leader:
The guardian angel, which has
ever been so vigilant as the custo-
dian and conservator of peace in our
village, seems to have abandoned
her post on the 2Sth inst. AS long
continued, bright, sunny weather
becomes disagreeable and creates a
desire for a change, so, perhaps, a
state of continuous and uninterrupt-
ed peace and quietude begets an in
tolerable monotony, alleviated only
by friction sufficient to produce
commotion, however Insignificant.
Be the causes what they may, the
Wessonites have long been charac-
teriGed as peaceful, law-abiding and
acknowledgement citizens; hence it is
very natural to infer that an affray
creates interest, and difficulty re-
sulting in the shedding of little
blood, an excitement approximatins
that which might ensue should
Jobs Behemoth be turned loose
among US. a5
Having promised the above we
proceed to relate the fights that en-.
livened US on the 28th, without
comment, and without expressing
our convictions as to the relative
guilt OF the parties. They have
been tried and it is perhaps our du-
ty TO feel that justice has been done

ly deny. If Sullivan had that plank
and were to concentrate all his phe-
nomenal powers into one effort for
the championship of the world, and
were to strike Jacob Myers with
that plank, splitting him from head
to "chime," we deny that by any
chemical process known to this en-
lightened age that any trace-any
vestige Of brain could be discovered.
Nothing will convince us that we
are wrong in this matter but an
actual and absolute dissection of
Jake's skull and thorough analysis
Of the gases it encases.
There were several strange, unac-
countable occurrences connected or
disconnected with the Myers Davis
difficulty. When Myers received
the blow he claims it "dumfounded"
him; while others declared it must
have deprived him of the use of
reason, &C., a condition we claim
natural to Jake. But is it not
strange that while in this condition
he should have run into his house
and procured pistol, renewed the
assault and finally declared "der

Myers brains are knocked out.
Jacob was a good soldier, a brave
man and / am told deserves great
credit for his career in the war.

Editor, must do yours.
A young I.an named Thompson

Had not Jake's counsel sprung the

paid half the cost. The jury were
acquainted with Jake and after that
they looked on the whole thing as
ludiciously farcical-too thin.

1t uses the Marcell's method, 9,
highly commended by the leading
hnguists and philologists. .AnotheI
evidence, We think, of progress il
the bold stand it took in the face o
the general prejudice in throwing
open its doors to the young women
of the State, and ranging itself with
Cambridge, Oxford, Cornell, ETC.,
as eo-educational institutions where
the girls are thought to have the
same right as their brothers 10
drink of the Pierian Spring. Twelve
young women availed themselves of
the opportunity thus offered the
first year, and the next year their
number was double. Faculty, trus-
tees, students, and the girls them
selves, all agree in saying that ex-
pertinent is a success, that co-educa-
tion in Mississippi is no longer an
experiment, but an accomplished
fact. One Of the young ladies will,
we are told, graduate next year
either with the salutatory or vale
dictory. For the benefit of those
caviling critics, who say that Co
education brushes off the bloom of
maiden modesty from girls, we will
say that we are intimately acquaint-
ed with a half dozen of those uni
versity girls, and know of no purer,
sweeter, tenderer buds of girlhood
anywhere, and which give greater
promise of blooming into the per-
feet flower Of womanhood, "the roof
and crown of Gods creation"
The number of students IS about
three hundred, and their average age
is Is or 19 years. 1t goes without
saying that there are some wild and
some moral boys among them, but
we think that last term the students
were as near that ideal state of per-
fection as possible, there being just
enough mischief and fun in them to
keep them from the namby- -pamby
milksopness of the goody-goody,
and not enough to manifest itself in
unseemly or ungentlemanly conduct.
Who shall say that the influence Of
CO, education (the girls are meant
was not the cause OF this2
The needs of the University are
two: first, good gymnasium (there
are too many pale-faced, weak
bicepsed fellows among the stu
dents J, and second, q chair of elocu-
tion to train our young orators.
Sixty thousand dollars will do away
with both these needs. Where is
the man or class of men that will
give this sum2 Mr.. Richardson
and others like him could do so and
not miss it. The princely gift of a
hundred thousand dollars by Van
derbilt to the Vanderbilt University
for similar purpose shows that the
stingy Yankee does this. Will the
generous, free-handed Southerner
loosen his purse strings? In con-
clusion we promise all who send
their sons to Oxford, a good moral
and intellectual education for them
and an extensive acquaintance with
people throughout the State, a thing
of no mean value.
