More A. & p. Nonsense.

The San Luis Rey Star is sad at the
facts stated by the HERALD about the
railroad from the Needles to San Diego.
The distance to build is 300 miles, with
q tunnel and the cost of making and
mending the California Southern with
the necessary depots and rolling stock
will not be q dollar less than 81 s, ,00O, 900,
the iigues set by the HERALD. This
Atlantic and Pacific stuff from Boston is
very old story. 1t has broken out
from time to time since 1868 In fact a
small portion Of track was graded in the
Soledad Canon by All Toy, prominent
Chinaman of Los Angeles, some twelve
years ago, but his visio MS of wealth an-
told vanished when his work was stopped
and the Mougolians clambered over the
mountains back to Lo Angeles, and the
rains have washed away the grade. 1t
" ould be bold tinsncier who would
now attempt to negotiate $l5. ZOO, 900 of
A. & p. bonds. 1t might require $25, :
600, 900 of these bonds to bring enough
money to pay for the road and stock,
and when done 1t would not pay the in
terest on that sum, which at seven per
cent. would require nearly 81, 900, 600
annually to meet the wants OF the bond
holders. Our neighbor at San Luis can
kip all those Boston stories. They are
a weariness Of the flesh and the spirit.

Baldwin-Bennett.

The San Francisco Chronicle OF the
2lst instant, in its notice of the marriage
of Mr.. Il. J. Baldwin and Miss Lily C..
Bennett, which took place in that city
last Monday, gives the following account
of how aud where Mr.. Baldwin met his
bride; "Ths story of how the acquaint-
ance Of the pair was made is thus told:
A few months ago the Supervisors Of Los
Angeles concluded.that they wanted u
new Court House and advertised for
plans. As the commission would e
about $40, 900, architects came from all
quarters of the State to compete for the
prize. Among others. Albert A. Ben
nett, Of this city, accompanied by his
daughter, Lily c., appeared before the
Board. K. j. Padwin, having large pos
sessions in Los Angeles, also attended to
watch the proceedings. The youth,
beauty and intelligence Of Miss Bennett
completely fascinated the susceptible
millionaire, and he became warm q l.
vocate of Benefits plans. His zeal won
the daughters interest and his devoted
attentions soon won her heart and hand.
The struggle over the Court House
ended IN the success OF rival architect,
but Baldwin proposed. Miss Bennett ac-
cepted and yesterday they were aisr-
ried.'

THERE is great deal said about what
Blaine would do, if he were President, in
advancing our interests with foreign ma
tions and acquiring additional territory.
In this connection it is well to remem.
ber that during Democratic rule, while
all else governmental was managed sue
cessfully. to the glory, prosperity and
satisfaction of the country, we obtained
Louisiana tout of which many States
have been carvedl, Florida, Utah, Cali.
fornia, New Mexico, Arizona. etc, and
that the Republicans during their
twenty three years in power have given
us Alaska 1t might be that Blaine
would attempt TO initiate the glorious
Democratic example in this regard, but
he could never hope to equal what has
been done by Democrats in this way in
the past, nor what Democrats would do
egsin in the same direction had they the
opportunity.

We believe it was De Lesseps who,
when he waited the United States few
years ago, said that every country in
the course Of its progress in civilization
passed through four stages Of architect
ural development--tbat Of wood, brick,
stone and marble, and that our country
was then Ia the ora of stone buildings.

Is pleasant to observe the increased use Of

CHARLIE ROSS At LAST

Quincy, Ill, June l4.-This city
has Il Charlie Ross, who bids fair to
turn out the original and only--at
least so says G. Nv. NORM, of Troy,
New York, a cousin of the missing
boy, who has come here for the pur-
pose, and who indcntiiies him. The
boy says lie is Charlie Ross, and
claims TO have been stolen by Gypsics
from his fathers house and taken to
Texas ten years ago; that he escaped
and made his way to Missouri, where
he was picked up and brought to
Quincy. The original Charlie Ross
had an enlargement of the vertebrae,
Just below the neck, which this boy
has. Charlie Ross is the same age
this boy claims to be, has the same
color of eyes, and the same features.
This boys eyes are ofa peculiar shape
which he claims is owing TO his hay
ing been sca!ded by the GypsicS, and
his body, is covered with marks Of
burns, records ofhis cruel treatment
at the hands of his captors, He says
he has always known his name was
Charlie Ross, but was never allowed
to use the name or be called by it.
lie has a scar on his arm, caused, lie
says, by an arrow. The original
Charlie Ross had a similar scar on
the same arm. lie describes minute
ly his arrest by two men and his life
in the Gypsy camp. The boy is very
intelligent, naturally, but can neither
read nor write. lie has been subject
ed to rigid examination, aud answers
every question, never contradicting
himself, and giving many points that
90 to establish his identity. So
strongly do circumstances point to
him as being Charlie Ross, that Mr.
NORM says he will leave tonight
with him for Philadelphia, and that
the boy shall always have Il home in
the Rosi family, into which he will be
adop cd, in case conclusive proof is
not forthcoming, -......
