The weather and the clouds.


Los Angeles has been treated to q
spsck of Eastern atmosphere for the
past two days. The temperature has
not been exceptionally high, but there
has been lack Of tonic in the sea-
breeze, sultrinsss that is very depress-
ing and very seldom experienced in this
section. An unusual appearance Of
cumulus clouds has prevailed around
the mountains. and occasionally these
grand mountains and islands OF vapor
have doated over the plain, with occa-
sional sprinkles of rain in broad and
scattering drops. On Sunday morning
and on Sunday afternoon the dust was
laid by these cloudy visitants, while the
mountains were buried in the gloom Of
Wild rolling vapors, with an occasional
CLEAN of lightning. 1t is quite likely
that the interior Of the Territories to the
eastward has becn visited with copious
rains. A shower in August is not a
phenomenon in this country. 1t will be
remembered that on the 18th Of August,
1873, a very heavy shower fell in Los
Angeles, and extended as far south as
San Diego. giving q rainfall of nearly an
inch aud half, followed by very warm
weather. 1t would not be surprising il
similar shower should visit Los Ange-
les in August, 1884.

RUNAWAY.

DR.. c. e. Fishers Buggy Torn to Pieces.
Yesterday, while DIR. G. E. Fisher
was out making professional call in
the neighborhood of the street car
station, his horses, attached to his
buggy, took fright at the noise Of a
couple of wild bronco mules which
the street car forces were attempting
to break in, and dashed off down the
street at a furious gate. They ran about
three blocks, stopping in lot of mes
quite bushes near Judge Turner'S resi-
dence. The buggy top was torn off,
and the vehicle otherwise COM
pletely wrecked. The horses had
not been fastened, but the doctor
asserts that it was the first time that
they had ever run away, and is salts
lied that they would have broken any
straps they might have been tied with,
so great was their fright. The noise
which occasioned the runaway was
caused by the singletrees rafting
along behind the runaway mules. One
of the horses was badly torn about
the neck, by the mesquite bushes DR..
Fishers is not the only team that has
been frightened by these wild animals,
and the doctor is not the only person
in the city who thinks that they
should be broken somewhere beyond
the CITY limits.

THF GOLDEN SOUTHWEST.

There has lately been issued to the
public a blue-backed book entitled,
1.-The Golden South West" by lone
woh has been there" 1t bears the
imprint, "Austin, Texas, 1884, -
and is supposed to consist of
biographical sketches of the leading
men of Corpus Christi, San Diego and
Laredo. The name of the author
does not appear. The Galveston News
correspondent at Corpus Christi has
this to say Of the book in dispatch
to his paper:
during the past two days over the contents of
a blue book, entitled the Golden Southwest;
by One Who Has Been There. It is devoted
to libelng the most prominent citizens OF Cor
pus Christi San Diego, and LAREDO 1t was
published in Austin, by one l.. E. Daniels, of
newspaper fame. lie had the cheek to send
copies of tbs book to his victims, by express,
{. y. D., and then writing some OF them let
ter, stating that he had drawn on them for
different amounts, and that the biographies
were not only interesting and Instructive, but
would prove source OF profit by its ready
sale at moderate figures. Only two or three
were bit by taking them from the express Of
flee, the rest being refused. Some talk OF in
stitututing criminal libel proceedings agoinst
Daniels, and assert he could be made to suffer,
He used to live here, and followed the occupa-
ton OF maitrt SS-:.laker.
Ae~S
this to say of the book:
"The book was written by Mr.. A.
c. Munson and not myself, and my
only connection with it was one
half interest which acquired by vir-
tue of advancing money for its publ
cation. l now own a half-interest,
Mr.. L. Eek, the jeweler, owning
the other half, he having
purchased it of Mr.. Munson. The
letters sent to parties at Corpus
Christi were not written by me, and 1
never saw one of them, and know
nothing of their contents, hold the
express receipts on the books sent to
Corpus Christi G. o. D., as security for
the money paid out on the printing.
The total proceeds of the book so far
have been $50, from advertisements
and all"
The book is full of hui
NOR and wit, much of it bor-
dering upon the questionable. In re-
gard to Mr.. Eek, it is only just to say
that he had nothing to do with the
production of the work, having ac-
quired his interest subsequent to its
publication.
