Ostrich Matching.

The Anaheim Ga=ette says: "At the
Anaheim ostrich farm there are mum.
ber of incubator regulators of the best
known patterns, but not one of them
can be implicitly relied on. They may
work well for few days, but they are
apt at any time to get ont of order, and
therefore they have to be carefully
watched. The annoyance and loss aris.
ing from this caused Superintendent
Sketchley to attempt the obstruction OF
regulator which would overcome the
difficulties mentioned, and as the result
of elaborate and painstakinG experiments
he has succeeded in inventing a regu-
lator which works with a perfection the
inventor never hoped to attain. AS a
patent has been applied for, it would
be premature to describe the apparatus,
40 a description Of it is reserved for a
future item.
Ducks and chickens are being hatched
out by the thousands at the farm, and
the mortality is not more tlian five in

of the Southern Pacific, coming from

Santa Ana bridge, near Cotton. Near.
ing the river, the engineer slowed up
the train; just before the engine reached
the bridge he felt the track under him
settling down, when he stopped the
train and reversed the machinery, but
too late to save the engine, as it toppled
and fell over the embankment, bottom

saved themselves by jumping into the

THERE is on the surface great deal
of activity in Republican circles just
now. Most of 1t proceeds from certain
confiding now comers, who assume a
confidence while perhaps thoy have it
not or which, il 1t be real and not sim.
ulated. proceeds from their ignorance of
the true statu, Of things in Los Angeles
county. When they are here longerthcy
will know better. The people Of Los
Angeles have trick of going Democratic
which no maneuvering of few callow
politicians will change.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1884-04-13

WHILE tho Republican County Con-
vention yesterday declined to adopt any
iron clad resolution pledging the dele.
gates, it nevertheless instructed for
Blaine for President. In order that its
choice OF represen tgtives to the Sta Q
Convention might be perfectly impartial,
both the Messrs. Boycs and Cheney were
elected. Both gentlemen arc under
stood to be candidates for Congress in
the Sixth Congressional district. How.
ever they may differ in other respects,
they are alike in being able to claim but
very brief residence in Los Angeles
county, or in the district, for that
matter. The ex Sacramento Senator,
however, possesses the advantage of a
much longer residence in the State than
his opponent. The fact of this dual To-
cal candidacy would seem to materially
weaken the chances Of both. II they
should fail to secure the nomination
they will congratulate themselves very
heartily next Fall, when they sec the
signal way in which the Republican
nominee will be routed, They will then
realize that thoro are such things as
blessings in disguise.
