Los ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA we are
indebted to Dr. r. D. MauZy, of Oakland, Cali
fornia, for copy of the Los Angeles Annual
Herald Qllustrated) which is almost as wonder
fol as the wonderful natural productions Of
that State. This copy was published in Janu-
airy and contains a brief sketch of the extent
and productivenes of Los Angeles County, with
a complete mineralogy of the same list of all
the names of the ancient ranches thatare link
ed with the history Of the county. It also has
most accurate and thoughtful dissertations on
the climate of Los Angeles County and South
ern California. with sketch of the vast miner
al resources of the seven counties that will
compose the new State and an estimate of the
cost of the new government,
Such is the bright prospect of that country
that it's citizens may be pardoned for fattering
themselves with the belief that the prophecy of
the great Humboldt will in time be verified. It
is reported that that distinguished man proph-
esied that that portion ofthe country would
become the centre of wealth and culture and
be the most populous part of the continent.

HIGH TARIFF DOESN'T INCREASE THE
PRICE OF LABoR.-We have received an
official statement of the '1abor statistics of
the United States" which we would publish
but for its length, which gives the average
price of labor in the different States for
each year since 1866.
1t shows not only that the price of labor has
been continually on the decline, but in the
States protected by the tariff, the reduction
is greater, while in the Southern States
which have very little if any protection the
wages oflaborers have slightful increased

INCENsED OVER AN APPOINTMENT
Cumberland, Nd, June 12.-It is reported
from Romney, W. Va. that considerable
excitement was produced there by the fact
that Revenue Collector McGraw, Demo-
GRAFT, has re-appointed Harvey Wooden, the
Republican Deputy Collector at that place.
1t is said that the Democrats there were
1ncensed over the matter, and that to-day
an indignation meeting was held, at which
speeches were made, and the Cleveland
and Hendricks pole, erected during the
campaign, was cut down. The broom
which surmounted the pole was sent by ex-
press to Governor jackson, of West Vir-
ginia, to be presented to an oficeholder
who will use it as intended.

TRIcE.-LoNDoN, June 13.-The marriage
Of Princess Beatrice to Prince Henry, of
Battenberg, will not, after all, be s1ch a
quiet affair as was at first intended. In
fact, the Queen seems to have made up her
mind to marry off her last daughter with
great deal Of pomp and ceremony. She
has. issued orders to largely increase the in
vitations to the wedding, and the bridal
cake, which is to be something quite ex-
traordinary in the confectioner's art, will
weigh $50 pounds. This big sweet piece
is to be built up in three tiers and to repose
upon pedestal of gold. No member of
the royal family Of Germany is to be in
vited to Beatrice's wedding.

Supposed murder of a boy i'm Highland

A little boy, the son of Hulda Losh who was
living with Andrew j. Hoffman on Brushy
Fork in the Eastern part of Highland county,
the husband Of his aunt, died on Saturday, the
Seth of May, and was buried on Monday, the
LIST of June. AS it was known that Hoffman
and his wife did not want to keep the boy, and
as their account of the manner in which he re-
ceived the wound which resulted on his death,
was not considered probable, suspicion of foul
play was aroused, and on Saturday, the 9th
inst, Coroner, W..R. Keister summoned a jury
OF inquest, had the body exhumed, and ex-
amined by DR.. II. H. Jones. who found that an
incision. extending upwards and backwards to
the spine had been made in the abdomen just
below the navel. After an examination. the
Jury rendered the following verdict -
1--WE, the jury, find that the deceased came to
his death, from O penetrating wound in the
abdomen, caused by SOME sharp pointed in
strument in the hands of some unknown per-
son or persons"

the child. it was feared that he had been cruel

The man and wife said that he had been run

fallen on a snag, which caused wound in his
bowels. from which he died; they further stat
ed that the boy was hurt at IL A. NJ, Saturday,
